Chapter 17

The group of teenagers were sitting in the car, Kevin was driving, each one of them had his own thoughts, but they were all about there other two friends, are they gonna be okay? What happened to them?

Joe was the most worried one, since he was the one who answered the phone, the police man, told him that they caught the boss and his assistant, and are coming to catch the whole gang around their house, when they arrived, and arristed the whole gang, they asked them about Nick and Miley, but they told them that they don't know any thing, then the police man reacived a call from his boss and when he finished he told them to follow them by their car, but he didn't give them any informations.

Though Joe wasn't comfortable about the call, the police man seemed to be in rush, but then again he may was in hurry to catch the rest of them.

He felt Demi's hand on him in worry cutting his thoughts, when he began to realize where they're going he started to worry too, they were going towards a hospital.

When the police car stopped, Kevin parked and they all looked at each other in worry, with asking eyes, but none of them knew any answer! The police man told them that his boss is waiting for them inside, so they walked in in hestatien, but they knew they have to.

"Who are you?" the police man asked them.

"We're their family." Jackson answered nervously, who the hell would they be? Another memberes of the gang?

"All of you?"

"Yeah, what happened?" Kevin asked in the same tone as Jackson.

"Well, according to the doctors, they're going to be okay, just go and ask for Dr. Steven and I'm waiting for you here." He said as he sat down on a chair.

They went to the nurse and asked for , and the nurse asked them who they wanted to visit.

"Nick and Miley." Joe answered.

"Oh, yeah, the two who just came?" he nodded "Well, is at a surgrey now, I don't know for who, but I think it's one of them."

"What? Why? What happened to them?" he asked her terrified.

"They just came, so I don't really know, all you can do is to go and wait at the waiting room for now, I'm sorry, but as soon as finish I'll send a nurse to you."

They went to the waiting room and sat there waiting for any one to show up and tell them any news about their friends…

One hour has passed untill finally a nurse came into the waiting room.

"You were looking for Dr. Steven right?" they all nodded "Ok, who exactly do you want?"

"Nick and Miley." Selena said.

"Oh, the new two, well the girl is going to be okay, but I don't know about the boy, Dr. Steven will explain everything to you, just follow me." They all exchanged worried looks but they followed her to the doctor's office.

"Hello, are you Nick Grey and Miley Stewart's family?" Dr. Steven asked them.

"Yeah, we are, are they okay? What happened to them?" Joe said.

"Well, the man was threatining to kill Miley when the police arrived."

"Oh my god." Demi gasped as she put a hand on her mouth.

"Well, he was carrying a gun, and Nick was defending her with a knife, so when the police arrived the man shoot the gun at the same time that Nick was running towards him to stab him, so it hit him instead of Miley, and it was really in a dangerous place."

"Oh no, is he okay?" Kevin asked the worry covering his voice.

"We took the bullet out of his chest, but he lost a lot of blood, we only hope that it didn't affect him badly, but we did all we can do, we just have to wait till he wake up, then we can tell exactly how his condition is, but he didn't open his eyes since I saw him even before we start the surgrey."

"So, you're saying that he's in coma?" Joe asked wishing to hear 'No' .

"Umm, kinda, but we can't say that now."

"But till now there's nothing bad right?" Jackson asked and the doctor nodded "So what about Miley? What happened to her?"

"When the man shoot Nick she ran to him, but the man wasn't really hurting bad by the knife so he grabbed it from his abdomen and stabbed it at her, but it wasn't that bad, the cut was in her abdomen and according to the rush she was in when she was running to Nick, she cut herself on the hand, but it's nothing really, she's asleep now, but she's okay."

"Can we see them?" Kevin asked.

"Miley yes, but Nick you have to wait an hour to see him."

"Why?"

"He just got out of surgrey and we don't want anything to happen now, his body is still weak." They all nodded sadly "So wanna see Miley?" the nodded again. "Follow me."

They followed him to Miley's room, and since she's not in a bad condition he let then all in, they saw her laying asleep on the hospital bed, she looked tired, very tired, and there was light scars on her hand and small ones on her face, probably from the last events.

They sat around her bad, Demi and Jackson each on one of her sides holding her hand, they all looked at her waiting for her to wake up, but she didn't.

It was now near to midnight, and most of them fell asleep on their chairs, they allowed them to see Nick, he was surrounded by machines, which they didn't understand it's important, but his sight was scaring, so they went back to Miley's room after the nurse came to check on him.

Miley didn't wake up yet, Joe looked around him and saw that the only one still awake is Demi.

"They should go sleep at home." Joe said making her leaving her staring case at Miley and look at him "You too."

"No, I'm not leaving untill she wakes up." She said.

"Then we should tell them to go home." She nodded then they began waking the rest of them, Demi told them that there's no need for all of them and if something happened they're gonna tell them, so they went back to the house leaving Joe and Demi at the hospital.

"I'm gonna go see Nick." Joe said as Demi nodded at him, then he left the room.

Demi looked over at Miley, and took a deep breath, she let a tear roll down her cheek "Every thing is gonna be okay Miles, just please wake up, don't make me more worried than I already is." She said tears rolling down her cheek. She took her best friend's hand and squeezed it with her thumb, finally she fell asleep, still holding her hand.

Demi woke up the next day as she felt Miley's hand move, when she realized what woke her up, she looked up at her but her eyes were still closed, then she felt her hand move again, she looked over at her again waiting for her eyes to open at any moment.

Miley was feeling that there were someone next to her holding her hand, she wanted to open her eyes, but it was harder than she expected, but she kept fighing, finally her eyes opened a little, but she couldn't tell where she was or who was aroung her for a few seconds, then she recognized Demi's smiling face, then she opened her eyes more and saw that she wasn't in her room, she slowly started to remember what happened.

Demi looked at her friend opening her eyes, her smile was very big that it was hurting her cheeks, she hugged her tightly "Oh, Miley I was so worried about you, thank god. Are you okay?" she pulled out from the hug and looked at her as Miley nodded weekly.

"Yeah, I'm okay." She whispered, then she finally remembered all what happened "Demi how's Nick?" she asked worried.

Demi's smile began to fade and Miley started to panic "Demi is something wrong? Please tell me how is he?" she asked again.

"Well, I don't exactly know, you two just got here yesterday, and I fell asleep next to you the last night while Joe was seeing him." She didn't want to tell her that he was in a coma, she just woke up, and may be that will only hurt her, so she chose to tell her later. "Um, I'll go call a doctor to check on you." And with that she walked out of the room before Miley could ask her another question.

She went to search for a nurse till she found one and she told her that she'll tell the doctor and they'll go see her, while she was in her way back to Miley's room, she saw Joe walking in the hallway, he looked like he's lost.

"Hey, Joe." When he looked at her he smiled and went to her "What were you doing here?" she asked him.

"I was just thinking, Nick didn't wake up yet, I'm so worried." He said as she took his hand and squeezed it, and he felt better. "Sorry, I fell asleep in Nick's room yesterday, so how's Miley?"

"Oh, she just woke up now and I went to call a doctor for her, but I was just trying to avoid her questions."

"What questions?"

"She was asking about Nick, and I didn't want to tell her, you know how she feel about him." She said and Joe just nodded.

"So let's go see her." He said and they went to her room and they found the doctor checking her up, but he was about to leave , and he told them that she's okay, she just has to wait untill her injures gets better.

"Miles, how are you? Are you okay?" Joe said as he went to hug her, and she nodded.

"Joe, how's Nick?" she asked again making Joe and Demi exchange a look, as if they were discussing what to say. "What happened is he okay?" she asked when she senced that there was something wrong with them.

"No, he's okay." Joe replied.

"Then why didn't he come to see me?"

"He can't."

"Why?"

"He didn't wake up yet." Joe mumbled, but she heard him. She felt like her heart stopped beating.

"But, he is going to, right? He is going to be okay, isn't he?"

"For now we don't know anything. The doctor said that he can't say if he is okay or not untill he wake up."

"And why doesn't he wake up?"

"I don't know, but the doctor said that he lost a lot of blood, and that the bullet was in a dangerous place." Miley felt the tears running down all over her face as she heard Joe's words, she got up and started running towards the door when Joe and Demi stopped her.

"Where are you going?" Demi asked her trying to control her body, but it was hard.

"I have to see him."

"But you just woke up and your cut is still fresh, we don't know if you're allowed to leave the room." She said still trying to control her, for someone who just woke up after being stabbed, she was very strong.

"I don't care, I have to see him. He needs me, and I need him." She said as she finally went out of Joe and Demi's grip and ran towards the door, when she was at the hallway, she realized that she doesn't know where to go, so she went back to her room and asked Joe to show her his room.

Joe sighed knowing that there's no way to fight with her, so he just took her hand leading her towards Nick's room.

When Miley saw Nick's sight, she gasped and ran to him crying, she hugged him tightly, making sure not to touch any of the machines around him "This is all my fault, I'm sorry Nick, I'm so sorry, I made this to you." She said between her sobs.

"No, it's not your fault Miles, you didn't tell that man to shoot him." Joe said putting his hand on her back rupping it.

"No, it was supposed to be me getting shot, not him. I'm the one who must be laying here, not him. He doesn't deserve that, he didn't do anything wrong." She said still hugging him.

"Miley what happened is in the past you can't change it, and nither you or him deserve what happened to you, it's just the fate and the disteny."

"But I should've stopped him, I should've pulled him when he ran towards that man, I should've took that bullet instead of him like he did to me."

"Miles it all happened too fast, you couldn't do anything, he chose that, he wanted to defend you." Joe said trying to pull her away from Nick, but she just hugged him tighter. Demi was standing at the door crying silently. Watching her best friend like that was hurting her so much, but there's nothing she can do.

"Miley you'll hurt yourself, stop. Remember that your cut is not okay yet. It may open again and we don't want that, you just woke up and we don't want you to get hurt again." Joe said still trying to pull her away from his brother.

"I'm already hurting Joe, as long as he's suffering, I'm too." She said sobing.

"Miley please, Joe's right, your cut may get worse." Demi said as she went to help Joe, finally they pulled her away from him, but that was because she got weak. Demi gasped when she realizad that her sudden weakness was because of her opened cut, the blood was covering her hospital clothes.

"See Miley? That what we were talking about." Joe said as he and Demi was trying to hold her and walk her to her room, so the doctor could see her, and fix the damage, but she fell on the floor unconsciousness.

"Miley." Demi yelled as she fell next to her trying to wake her up.

"I'll get the doctor." Joe said as he rushed out of the room searching for someone to help them.
