AN- So, yeah, I hope I didn't ruin the last chapter with some humor. There is plenty more drama coming for Miley, in the following chapters. Oh and like always Please Review!
Nick's POV
I sleepily opened my eyes. It took me a minute to figure out where I was at first, but then I remembered what happened yesterday and I shot up wide awake. I looked around and the only person I saw was Oliver sleeping in the chair next to me.
"Oliver…Oliver…OLIVER!" I shook him awake.
"Whaa?" he asked obviously confused. "Where am I? he asked again.
"We're at the hospital, where did everybody go?" I asked anxiously.
"I'm guessing they went for breakfast in the cafeteria, and that they'll be about an hour." Oliver said
"What makes you think that?" I asked confused.
"Dude, it's on your shirt" he laughed
I looked down and sure enough there was a note that was taped to my shirt. I guess I hadn't noticed.
"Ok, I obviously missed that." I laughed
"So what do we do?" Oliver questioned
"Let's go see Miley" I said
"But the doctor never ca…" I cut him off
"He came when you guys were sleeping, we talked to him yesterday. Miley's ok, me, Joe, and Mr. Scott got to see her last night" I explained.
"How was she?" he asked seriously
"She was pretty drugged, it was clear that she was in pain, but surprisingly, it was a funny experience" I replied
"How was that funny" he asked
I told him the story, and then we decided to go to the nurse's station so we could see Miley.
"Can we see Miley Stewart?" I asked a young nurse
"Hold on a sec" the nurse said
"I'll hold on to two sec's (sex)" Oliver flirted
The nurse rolled her eyes and looked at her computer screen.
"Miley Stewart is in room 305" the nurse answered
"Thanks" I muttered and dragged Oliver with me.
While we were in the elevator I looked at Oliver. He looked scared sort of.
"You all right?" I asked concerned
"Umm, yeah, I'm just nervous to see her" he replied
"Why?" I questioned
"I'm not sure, she's my best friend, and she's always happy, I'm scared to see the Miley that's in that room, I guess." He answered
"I get it" was all I said
"I feel somewhat responsible for this. I mean, I should have protected her from that jerk" he said getting angry.
"You believe it was Jordan too!" I said a little too excitedly.
I knew Oliver thought he saw something at the party, I didn't know that he believed it was Jordan though.
"Yeah, I'm sure it was him who did this" he said
The elevator doors opened and we made our way down to Miley's room. I looked over at Oliver and he was taking deep breaths.
"C'mon man, it'll be alright" I comforted
"Yeah" he whispered
We opened the door and slowly walked in. A nurse was taking blood and another nurse was taking her temperature. Miley had her eyes closed but I knew she was awake. We walked over to the bed and waited for the nurses to finish. The nurse that was taking Miley's temperature put an ice pack on her forehead. Then the other nurse took the needle for blood out of Miley's arm, and Miley winced a little.
"Ok, Miss, Miley, leave this ice pack on your head ok?" a nurse said.
"Mmhmm" was all Miley replied
The nurses left, and Miley still had no idea we were in the room. I cleared my throat a little, and Miley's body jumped a little, and she winced, and her eyes shot open. I immediately felt bad.
"I'm so sorry Miley, I didn't mean to scare you" I panicked.
She just kind of stared at me, and then gave a soft smile.
"It's ok," she almost whispered,
Her voice was hoarse and muffled from the breathing mask. She really looked horrible. She was still pale, she had dark circles under her eyes, and she still had needles and tubes in her. I could tell it was painful for her to talk and move. At least she wasn't on those crazy drugs anymore.
She looked over at Oliver with a worried look. I looked over at him, and he looked like he might pass out.
"Hey Oliver" Miley said painfully
Oliver came back to life a bit.
"H..h..hi" he stuttered
"Are you ok" she breathed
"Umm, yeah, what about you?" he asked gaining composure
"I'm fine" she whispered.
It amazed me that she was worried more about Oliver than herself.
"How you feeling" I questioned.
"Not too bad, just a little sore, nothing too bad" she responded quietly.
She took off her breathing mask. I immediately noticed that her breathing became shaky.
"That's better" she said, still hoarse but not muffled.
"Miley, you should really put that back on, it's to help you" I said
Her breathing became more irregular, and I was getting a little worried.
"I will in a sec (breath), I just need to (breath) get some real (breath) air." She heaved
I could tell that it was killing her inside. She didn't want to admit that she needed the mask to breath. The pain must have been really bad if it caused her breathing to become shaky and irregular. I went over and put the mask back on her.
"Hey" she muffled
"C'mon Miley, it's just to ease the pain, please?" I pleaded
"Fine" she said disappointed
Just then Joe came in.
"Hey Miley, Oliver, Nick" he said cheery
That seemed to make Miley smile.
"Hey" we all said
I knew what was coming.
"So a Miley, do you still feel like poops?" he said mocking Miley in the exact same high pitched voice.
Miley looked completely confused.
"Huh?" she asked weakly
Joe, Olive and I started cracking up hysterically. Joe regained himself enough for another question.
"Do you feel like diarrhea?" he asked smartly.
Miley couldn't help but smile. She honestly had no idea what Joe was talking about. She started to giggle, but immediately stopped and winced in pain again.
"Are you alright?" Joe asked worried. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…" Miley cut him off.
"I'm fine, really, you guys are so protective" she whispered smiling.
"Oliver, you're too quiet, what's up?" Miley asked concerned.
Oliver decided to ask the question we'd all been wondering.
"Miley, did… J…Jordan do this to you?" he asked nervously.
Miley's facial expression went serious.
Miley's POV
Oh gosh, I totally forgot about Jordan. It was him, but I couldn't let everyone know. I still love Jordan, plus I really don't want my friends to get a beating from him. But how do I convince them that it wasn't him.
"Miley?" Nick asked
"Oh huh?" I responded trying to stall for time.
"Did Jordan do this to you?" Oliver asked again
I tried to think, "No silly, how could you think that?" I asked
"Oh, well I was just wondering" Oliver said embarrassed
"Then how did it happen" Nick asked suspiciously
Crap, this was the question that I was trying to avoid.
"Umm, I'd really rather not talk about it" I said softly, trying to make myself look sad by the thought of it."
"Miley, you have to…" Nick was cut off by Joe this time.
"Hey, Miley, you look kinda tired, why don't you try and get some rest," Joe suggested.
"Yeah, I am pretty tired, thanks Joe" I said sleepily.
"No problem poopsy" he said winking at me.
Joe walked out.
"Feel better Miley, I'll be back later" Oliver said
"Thank you, I'll try" I responded, my throat itchy
Oliver walked out.
"Hey, if you need anything just holler, Ok?" Nick offered
"Ok" I answered
He came over and tried to give me a gentle hug. Now if I wasn't in pain, it wouldn't have hurt, but I tried to suck it up so Nick wouldn't worry. Soon Nick left.
I really didn't want people to feel sorry for me. I'm strong, and I don't want people to see the weak side of me. I like to be independent, and if my friends knew the actual pain I was in, they would baby me to death and worry, and I don't want that. I just want them to treat me how they normally would, so for the time being, I need to suck it up, and hide my pain.
I am actually pretty tired; I haven't gotten much sleep because the nurses come in about every 15-20minutes to take my dang temperature. And just like clockwork in come the nurses again.
"Ok Miley, open your mouth" the nurse ordered.
They removed the mask, and I did as I was told. They stuffed the thermometer under my tongue. This was hell, I seriously hated these nurses. Another nurse came and gave me a shot that was actually very painful. Not to mention I hate needles.
"Ow," I moaned with the thermometer still in my mouth
"Sorry Miley, just some more painkillers, trust me, it'll make you feel better, and sleep better" she explained.
Wow, I like this nurse, she said the word sleep, and feel better in the same sentence.
"Thank-you," I mumbled, my eyes starting to feel heavy
The mean nurse came back and took the thermometer out of my mouth; she looked at it then sighed.
"Miley, you still have a fever" she said
Wow, no shit, I thought to myself. I really did not like this nurse.
"Ok, what do you want me to do about" I said annoyed.
I saw the nice nurse smile a bit. I liked her.
I could tell the mean nurse didn't like that comment too much. My eyes closed but I was still awake. Before she could say anything back to me, the nice nurse cut in.
"Why don't you get her a new ice pack for her head, Ophelia" the nice nurse persuaded.
"Ophelia" I said with my eyes still closed.
I could hear the nice nurse trying to hide her giggling.
Ophelia rushed out of the room to get me an ice pack.
"That was funny" stated the nice nurse, "Her middle name is Phoenix"
"As in Arizona" I asked
The nurse started to laugh again. "Yes, like Arizona"
"What's your name" I questioned, my eyes still closed.
"My name is Heidi" she said nicely
"That's a pretty name" I said
Just then Ophelia came in and replaced the ice pack on my head.
"Thank you, Ophelia Phoenix" I said her name with emphasis
"Actually, Destiny Hope, you can call me Ms. Smith" she said snottily
I cringed when I heard my real name. Wait, her full name is Ophelia Phoenix Smith?
"Actually, I go by Miley, Ophelia Phoenix Smith?"
"Argh!" she huffed storming out of the room.
"Destiny Hope?" Heidi asked
"Yeah, my dad originally named me that because he believed it was my destiny to bring hope to the world. People have always called me Miley though, since I was a baby" I explained, my eyes opened now, "So two years ago, I got it changed to Miley Rae"
"Miley Rae? Where did you get that from" she asked.
"I was a smiley baby, and smiley turned into Miley, and Ray was my dad's middle name" I explained.
Just then, I remembered how much I missed him. A tear slowly rolled down my cheek.
"Are you ok, where does it hurt" Heidi asked.
"No, I'm fine, my dad passed not too long ago" I reassured "We were close" then I closed my eyes again, trying to hide the more tears that were threatening to fall.
"Oh, I'm sorry, well, I have to get back to work, and I don't think you can possibly resist that sleeping shot much more, I'll see you later" she said.
"Bye" I mumbled half asleep
Wow, I never realized how much talking can wear you out, was the last thought I had before I gave into the drugs.
AN- ok so not much happened in this chapter, I added a little more humor. Sorry I hope I didn't offend anyone with the name Ophelia Phoenix. I have big plans for Miley coming up. So please, leave me a review. I promise I'll update faster if you leave me more reviews.
