Everyone thank you so much. I would like each person who reviewed to know that they make me very happy and motivated to keep updating. I'm glad you all enjoy it, and I appreciate the reviews. Those of you who don't review and just read, please review, it would mean a lot to me to know that you like reading my story.

Miley's POV

I looked to the officer who just called my name.

"Yes" I asked in a shaky voice, I was definitely scared

He smiled warmly at me; I'm guessing he could sense my nervousness.

"I hear you did a bit of school skipping today" he stated

I looked down sort of embarrassed, and I wasn't really expecting that question.

"Yeah I did… I'm sorry, I just had to get out of there before I flipped out" I quietly explained. My throat was burning with every word I spoke

"You had a lot of people worried, you know that right" the officer informed me

"Yeah" I replied still looking down

"It seems you have a bit of a cold" he said judging my voice and appearance

"Yeah, a little bit" I sniffed

My head was still hurting, and as I stood there, I realized that as long as today was, tonight was going to be even longer. I didn't see any immediate rest in my future.

I heard the front door open and I turned to see Nick coming through the door.

"Miles…" he breathed out relieved

He immediately ran over to me and pulled me into a hug. I nuzzled my head into his neck. I took notice that Jordan hadn't even spoken to me yet, he must not have cared enough.

"I was so worried and scared" he said

"I'm sorry," I mumbled sincerely into his neck.

"Please don't scare me like that again" he pleaded

I just nodded my head.

We broke our embrace and I looked at Jordan and he had an angry look on his face. I knew he was jealous of Nick, and I knew he would take it out on me the second he could. I quickly returned my gaze to the floor.

I heard a knock on the door. Who else could possibly be here? Joe answered it and it was Mr. Scott. I rolled my eyes. I'm still not happy with him, Mrs. Tate, or Ms. Kunkle. Today is their fault yet I'm the one apologizing to everyone.

"Miss Stewart, I'm glad to see you're safe and sound"

Once again I just nodded again. I'm so sick of talking, I just want to go to bed.

"So Miley, I'm officer Sanchez and this is officer Jensen, I'm assuming you know why we're here?" the other officer said

"Actually I don't know why you're here but I'm guessing it has to do with my principal" I replied not actually trying to be snotty

"It might have something to do with the bruises we found on your body" Mr. Scott retorted.

I rolled my eyes.

"Miley, is someone hurting you?" Officer Jensen asked

"No, no one is hurting me" I answered

"May I see the bruises" Officer Sanchez asked

"Why does everyone wanna see my dang stomach?" I asked

"We're worried Miley, we care about you" Mr. Scott said

"I wasn't asking you" I said

He just sort of backed down a bit

Officer Sanchez walked over to me and lifted my shirt. Slowly he revealed to the entire room my bruises. I could hear the gasps coming from Amber, Nick, Joe, Heidi, Mrs. Jonas and the officers.

"Could you explain these please" Officer Sanchez asked

"There's nothing to explain" I replied simply

"Look at her back too" Mr. Scott threw in

"Stay out of this, you've caused me enough trouble" I snapped

"Miley! Speak with respect" Mrs. Jonas scolded

I looked down again; it's been awhile since I was last scolded.

Officer Sanchez raised my shirt in the back, so everyone could get a glimpse. I once again heard the shocked gasps coming from those in the room.

I quickly got annoyed and lowered my shirt out of Officer Sanchez's hands.

"Miley, where did you get those bruises"

I felt trapped; I didn't know what to say. The pressure I was feeling at the moment felt like it was going straight to my head, and it was adding to my already painful headache. I quickly brought my hands up to grip my aching head. I could immediately tell something was wrong when I found it hard to breathe. I looked up and my eyes were blurry; I tried blinking hard, but it only seemed to make it worse. I reached out to grip something to steady myself but I suddenly felt the ground rush up on me. It didn't even feel like I was falling, I felt so out of my body. By the time my head hit the floor, I was already out like a light.

Heidi's POV

I could immediately tell something was wrong when Miley's hands went up to her head. I got worried when her breathing became heavy. I knew something was going to happen when she was blinking hard, and I knew when she reached out to grab something that she was about to faint. And then I heard everyone gasp.

As quickly as I could I ran over to her body on the floor. I started checking her pulse and her heart rate, and her other vitals. I soon blew a sigh of relief and looked up at the anxious looking faces surrounding Miley and I.

"She's ok" I said

"How do you know" Mr. Scott asked

"I'm a certified nurse and I was Miley's nurse when she had surgery" I explained

"What's wrong with her?" Nick asked upset

"She's exhausted. You guys saw her, she looked like she hadn't slept in ages, add sickness and feeling overwhelmed to that, and you get this" I said motioning to her still unconscious body." I described

Everyone seemed to relax a bit after that.

"Do we bring her to the hospital?" Nick asked

"I don't think it's necessary, all she needs is a little rest" I answered him.

"Oh ok" he said

I looked down at Miley and I noticed her eyes squinting but still closed.

"She's waking up" I stated

Just then her eyes opened just a crack. She looked up at me and then around the room a little bit.

"What happened?" she asked barely above a whisper

"You fainted Miles" I said softly brushing the hair out of her face.

She tried to sit up but she was so weak that her arm couldn't support her and it slipped causing her to lie back down.

"My body feels weird" she said

"You're just a bit disoriented from fainting, you'll be ok." I told her

"Heidi, how about if you and I bring her upstairs and get her in a bath, and then we'll tuck her into bed so she can rest" Mrs. Jonas offered.

"Sounds like a plan, is that ok with you Miles?" I asked her

She just mumbled something incoherently; she was still so out of it.

Mrs. Jonas came over and together we helped her sit up. We both had to hold her to keep her from falling back down to the floor. We soon each grabbed a shoulder and began to lift her up. Once we got her on her feet we each put one of her arms over our shoulders. I took notice to how light she felt, I was supporting her weight after all. She held her head up for about 3 seconds and then it drooped back down while she closed her eyes. Once we started walking with her it was more like dragging her feet behind us. She couldn't move them fast enough, and we were barely moving, but I could tell she was trying to walk. She looked up again and started leaning towards my side. Soon most of her weight was on me, then she went back towards Mrs. Jonas until we were how we were originally.

"What's up Miles" I asked concerned

"I can't see straight, everything is blurry and spinning" She said, her voice still weak.

"You'll be ok, just let us know if you're going to be sick" I said

"K" was all she replied.

We brought her upstairs and into her bathroom. We slowly undressed her because one of us had to hold her up, and because we didn't want to hurt her bruises, I'm sure it hurts, at least it looks like it hurts. Once she was completely undressed we put her into the tub that we previously filled with warm water and bubbles and bathing oils. She sighed as the water enveloped her body.

"Why don't you stay in here with her while I go get her some warm jammies and get her room all settled for her" Mrs. Jonas said

"Ok" I replied

Miley closed her eyes and just lay back against the tub. She actually looked peaceful.

Meanwhile downstairs No one's POV

"Well, maybe we should continue this another night" Officer Jensen said

"We'll be back when Miley feels better. Maybe we'll pop in at school one day and meet in the office" said Officer Sanchez

"Ok, just give me a call to let me know" Mr. Scott replied

"Sure thing, have a nice night everyone"

With that being said the two officers left Miley's house. Now there was just an awkward silence that settled over the remaining people. Joe looked over at Nick and could tell Nick was upset.

Joe put an arm on Nick's shoulder to try and calm him down. Nick shrugged him off.

"This is all your fault!" Nick yelled pointing at Jordan

"Mine?" Jordan asked surprised

"Yes yours, you did this to Miley. How could you, she's your girlfriend" Nick screamed, his face red

"Why on Earth would I do something to Miley. You're just jealous because you want her!" Jordan yelled back.

"I know it was you, I know you did it to her, you caused ALL of this" Nick looked like he was going to literally burst.

Jordan went up close to Nick and got dangerously close to Nick's face.

"Don't say things you know nothing about Nick" Jordan said through gritted teeth.

"I know perfectly well that you did this. I know you are the one that caused Miley to go to the hospital. You hurt her, you hurt her bad!" Nick replied angrily.

Jordan shoved Nick causing him to step backwards. There was fire in Nick's eyes. Nick took a power step forward and pushed Jordan with all his might. Jordan fell back onto the couch.

"You're going to die Jonas" Jordan warned

He went to stand up and before Jordan could even get into a standing position Nick punched him square in the cheek.

"Yeah, well I'm going to die making sure I put you in as much pain as you put Miley in"

"You're dead" Jordan yelled

"Bring it dumb ass" Nick replied

"Quit it guys, this isn't the time for fighting" Joe tried to reason

"It's too late for that, he pushed me too far" Jordan said

"Chill out Jordan he's pissed about Miley" Joe explained

"I am pissed off. If I don't do something now, he'll hurt Miley more, I can't deal with that" Nick retorted.

"Well this is ending now, you guys need to stop and stop acting like babies" Joe said.

Nobody said anything. Jordan and Nick just glared at each other, sending threats with their eyes.

"Mr. Scott, do you think you can help me out here" Joe asked

Mr. Scott nodded his head and walked over to Jordan and standing in front of him.

"I think you need to calm down" Mr. Scott said calmly.

Joe went over to Nick and pushed him into a chair.

"Don't even think about standing back up" Joe warned.

Nick was finally settled down enough to stop glaring at Jordan. Jordan however wasn't having any of it. He stood up and walked out of the house.

Now all that were left was Amber, Nick, Joe, and Mr. Scott.

"I'm confused" Amber stated randomly.

Amber's POV

Everyone just looked at me like I was insane.

"What?" I asked

Nobody responded, they just kept looking at me. I think that they forgot I was still in the room.

"Well…is anyone going to explain this to me?" I asked ridiculously

"What's to explain?" Joe asked

"Umm…like all of that!" I said waving my hands towards the room

"I don't know what you're talking about" Joe said. Nick was still too angry to speak; he was just calmer about it.

"What do you mean? I have no idea what just happened, can't you guys just tell me" I argued.

"Tell you what?" Joe said blankly

"Please Joe, just tell me what the heck happened. What's going on with Miley, where was she today, why do you think Jordan gave her those bruises, when did she get sick, why were the cops here, why did she faint, why did Nick punch Jordan, why is Miley pissed at Mr. Scott, can't you answer anything?' I basically begged

Joe was just about to explain when Nick cut him off.

"Don't tell her anything, she told Jordan that Miley and I kissed. He got mad at her and took her for a walk, she was soaking wet, hence why she's sick. He probably beat her up too, probably why she has those bruises, this is just as much her fault as it is Jordan's." Nick said raising his voice.

I immediately felt guilty; Miley was hurt because of me? I feel horrible.

Joe turned to look at me.

"I have no idea what you're talking about" he repeated again

I rolled my eyes. "You were right Nick, there's a lot about Miley I don't know" I said

With that I went upstairs to see Miley.

Mr. Scott's POV

I feel like tonight didn't do much good. I understand why Miley's mad at me, but she doesn't realize that I did it for her own good. I care about each and every one of my students, and especially Miley because she has such a bright future, and she's such a nice and polite person, I hate to see something happen to her to jeopardize everything.

"Well, I think I'm going to head out. If you get the chance, tell Miley not to come to school tomorrow and that her homework will be exempt and so she doesn't have to worry about any homework."

"Ok, thanks, I'll make sure she knows" Joe promised

"Well, have a good night boys, I'll see you at school tomorrow Nick" I said

"Bye" they chorused lamely

Joe's POV

It was just Nick and I in the room now. I looked over at Nick and it looked like he was deep in thought.

"Nick what's wrong with you. I don't like the guy either but I didn't find the need to punch him" I said

"Joe…I know it's him, I can tell. It makes perfect sense, and knowing that he was standing right there, I just couldn't control myself, I had to do something" he explained

"Right, so pissing him off more is just what Miley needs Nick, did you ever think about what he might do to her because of what you did" I replied

"I'm sorry...wait…you believe me?" Nick asked surprised

"Yeah, I saw him giving Miley looks to not say anything, and when you hugged her, he looked ticked beyond belief" I told him

"What do we do?" he asked me

"I don't know Nick, but for now Miley is safe, so that gives us some time to think about it"

"Yeah, you're right" he responded

"By the way, that was pretty mean what you said to Amber, just so you know" I informed him

Amber's POV

After I went upstairs I went to see Miley. I knocked softly on the bathroom door and I heard Heidi tell me to come in. I walked in the room and I saw Miley in the tub looking like she was sleeping, and I saw Heidi sitting on a small chair beside the tub.

"How is she?" I asked actually concerned

"She's been better, but she's still a little disoriented" Heidi answered

"Could've just asked me yourself" Miley mumbled her eyes still closed

"I…I didn't know you were awake, are you ok" I questioned

"Like you care" She said

"Look, Miley, I have no idea what went on down there, but I do care. I may not be friends with you, but nobody deserves to be abused, you need to tell someone where you got those bruises" I said

"No I don't, it's my business and no one else's" She responded

"Can I get you anything?" I asked nicely.

"You don't have to be nice to me because I'm hurt" she said

"Fine…what do you want Stewart" I retorted

She smiled a bit. "I want a water" she said

I smiled to and left the room to go get her a water bottle. When I went down to get the water, Nick approached me.

"I'm sorry about what I said, it's not your fault" he told me

"It's fine, and if what you said actually happened then it was my fault" I replied looking down

"No, it's Jordan's fault, not yours"

"Thanks Nick"

He just nodded.

I quickly brought the water back upstairs to Miley. She was still in the tub enjoying her peace.

"About time" she murmured

"Don't get used to this Stewart, one time thing" I stated

"Hey Heidi, can I get out now" Miley asked about 15 minutes later.

"Umm yeah, let me grab you a towel" she said.

I took that as my cue to leave. Seeing Miley in a tub with bubbles is enough, I don't need to see her naked. I hurriedly walked back to my room to get changed and ready for bed.

Miley's POV

Heidi wrapped the towel around my body once I was standing in the tub. I cannot tell you how awkward it is to have someone undress you and put you in a bathtub, not to mention also drying me off. I was still a bit hazy from the fainting, or being tired and sick, I'm not sure so she actually had to help steady me. Mrs. Jonas soon came back into the bathroom and she helped escort me back to my room. They still had to help me walk, but it was easier than it was earlier. I'm so excited to get in bed and finally get some actual sleep. I walked in my room and saw a warm pair of pajamas lying on my bed. My bed was also turned down and all ready for me to climb into. They helped me dress. Mrs. Jonas ran a brush through my long hair and then they tucked me into bed. I shut my laid back and shut my eyes.

"Not yet little lady" Mrs. Jonas said walking over to me.

I gave her a confused look.

"We need to give you some medicine" she explained.

I nodded my head in understanding.

First she gave me some cough syrup. I hate that stuff, it's nasty as heck. Then she gave me some throat syrup. It was blue and was thick like cough syrup. Let me tell you, I would much rather drink cough syrup straight out of the bottle then ever swallow this stuff. It seriously tasted like I was drinking toothpaste. It was, as I would say 'sicknasty', my word I invented. I grimaced at the taste and started coughing.

"Ew" I said

"Yeah, but you want to get better right?" Heidi asked

"Yeah, I do" I said

Next Heidi handed me two of my sleeping pills.

"Here. This will definitely help you get some sleep"

I nodded my head, and Mrs. Jonas handed me my water bottle from earlier.

"Thanks you guys, I feel bad, you shouldn't have to take care of me" I stated

"Nonsense Miley, everyone needs to be taken care of, especially when they're sick" Mrs. Jonas smiled

I tried to smile back, but I thought of how my parents used to take care of me when I was sick. It reminded me how much I missed them. I looked down sadly.

Mrs. Jonas must have sensed what I was thinking of. She brushed the hair out of my face.

"It's ok to miss them sweetheart" she said

"I know" I nodded quietly. It still hurt to speak so it was still only in a whisper.

"Umm, Miley, would you like some ice…for you're bruises, it will make them feel better."

I looked up at her and shook my head no.

"I don't think I could sleep with ice on me, it would make me too cold"

She nodded her head in understanding.

"Ok sweetie, get a good nights rest, I'll be over tomorrow with some soup. By the way, I'm making sure you aren't going to school tomorrow, so no arguments" she warned

I sighed and closed my eyes.

"Thanks again" I mumbled already drifting off to sleep

Jordan's POV

That dang Jonas kid is onto me. I'm kind of getting worried that they will figure out it's me. Part of me thinks that Miley may have said something to him, he seemed pretty sure of himself. I think I'll pay Miley a visit tonight and talk to her about today. I figure I should wait until everyone is asleep so I can have some privacy. I already know Jonas and that Amber girl are there, and I don't know about the rest of them. If they figure out that I'm the one hurting Miley, I already have a plan formed.

Later on that night

It is currently about 3 am and I was climbing up Miley's balcony. I opened her unlocked door and entered her room. I saw her sleeping deeply in her fluffy bed. I walked over to her.

"Wake up" I said shaking her kind of harshly

She didn't wake up right away. I took notice to a bottle of pills that were on her nightstand, and I saw that a side effect was extreme tiredness. I shook her again until I saw her eyes open confused. She looked so out of it.

"Joran?" she slurred my name.

"Yeah, it's me, get up" I ordered

She started sitting up, but was having troubles. I yanked her arm hard, pulling her up to a sitting position.

"Ow" she said to herself in pain

"You have 30 seconds to explain what the heck those cops were doing here"

She looked puzzled for a second and then she remembered what I was talking about.

"Today at school Ms. Kunkle and Mr. Scott wanted me to go see the nurse because I was so sick. When I was at the nurse she said I had a high fever, and it wasn't normal for a cold. I had mentioned that I had surgery and she wanted to see if my stitches were infected. She lifted up my shirt and saw the bruises. From there she called Mr. Scott in, and he must've called the cops" she explained

"And you just let them see your stomach" I asked incredulously

"I tried to make an excuse but they just did it anyway" she said

"So what, how did you explain the bruises?" I questioned.

"Well, actually the nurse blamed my parents and that got me upset, so I ran away, I never got the chance to explain. I was gone all day, they found me like 15 minutes before I came home" she told me

I nodded my head in understanding.

She squinted her eyes looking at my face.

"What happened to your face?" she asked

"Nick punched me, which by the way you'll pay the price for" I stated

She looked down scared.

"He punched you? When?" she asked baffled

"When they took you upstairs, he's convinced it's me that's hurting you"

"Oh…" it looked like she was having troubles staying awake.

I slapped her across the face

"Don't even think about falling asleep while I'm talking to you" I said harshly

Miley's POV

Here we go.

"S…sor…ry" I stuttered

I really thought he would back off for one night.

I suddenly felt him grab my shirt and hoist me up.

"I noticed you and Nick were getting friendly earlier" he said through gritted teeth, while he slammed my body against the wall.

"What? No we weren't" I defended, at least I don't remember doing it

He slammed me again "Are you calling me a liar?" he seethed

"N…no, b…but" he cut me off by slamming me again

"So you were getting friendly with him" he said angrier than before.

He slammed me again. I felt like I felt earlier before I fainted. My back was hurting so bad from each slam.

Amber's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night to something banging against my wall. Well, Miley's room was right next to mine, I got worried, what if she was like walking into the wall she was so dizzy. I crawled out of bed and went to her door. I opened the door just as Jordan slammed Miley into the wall…again.

They both looked over at me when they heard the door open.

"This isn't what it looks like" Jordan defended

"Umm, yeah, ok, bad timing…sorry" I said awkwardly turning around quickly and leaving.

Now I know that it's Jordan hurting her. I need to tell someone quickly. Miley looked like she was going to pass out again. I hurriedly ran into Nick's room.

Miley's POV

Shit. Amber knows, and Jordan knows that she knows. Jordan threw me onto the bed. I was too scared to move. I knew something really bad was about to happen, I just wish it happens to me and not anyone else.

Jordan's POV

I blew it. That dang girl knows. She's probably calling the police as we speak. I need to do something quick. I notice the sleeping pills on the nightstand. I grab the bottle and look over at Miley. She was lying face down on the bed where I threw her, she didn't even move. She was breathing deeply, I could see her back rising exponentially.

I walked over to her and flipped her around.

"Swallow these" I ordered her handing her 6 pills.

"What?" I didn't have time for this. I outright punched her in the face and forced the pills in her mouth. I covered her mouth so she couldn't spit them out.

"Swallow" I whisper yelled

She did and I removed my hands.

I looked around the room for anything I could use. I didn't see anything useful. I looked over at Miley and I could tell the pills were fast acting. I could see her eyes drooping each second. I picked her up and hoisted her over my shoulder.

"Stay quiet" I said to her. I went over to her balcony and I started climbing down. I got to a spot where I couldn't hang on to her. I lowered her as far as I could and I dropped her. He wasn't that high up, but it probably still hurt like heck to hit the ground the way she did. I finished getting down. I picked her up, and she was completely out of it. Her eyes couldn't focus, and she was limp in my arms. I took her to my car and threw her in the backset. I peeled out of there as fast as I could. This was as far as my plan was developed. I didn't think I would have to use it tonight though. And having those pills helped quite a bit.

Amber's POV

I ran into Nick's room and began shaking him violently.

"Nick!" I whisper screamed

"What the hell Amber" he said loudly

He looked at my face and could sense the urgency.

"It's Jordan, he's hurting Miley, I saw it, he's in there right now, quick we need to do something before he seriously hurts her." I said in tears.

Nick's POV

Amber woke me up and told me what happened. Finally…I have proof, now I just need to stop him from hurting her. We ran into Miley's bedroom, and we were met with and empty room with her balcony door swinging in the wind.

I looked over at Amber and we shared a scared look.

"He took her" I said breathlessly.

Ok, well I hope you guys liked this update. I figured I would leave a cliffy in hope of getting more reviews. But seriously, thank you for those of you who did review, it means a lot. I'm hoping to get a few more than last time, because reviews make me update faster, and if you want to find out what happens, I guess you need to review. But don't worry, I'm not going to be annoying and demand that you make a certain amount of review; I'm not that mean, but reviews are good, and I'm trying to get a lot.

Next…

I guess Miley was in some pictures with Justin Gaston and they were making faces like they were Asian. Suddenly, Miley Cyrus is a racist, and the APA is demanding a public apology from her. I'm sorry but that is CRAP. I don't think she's racist; she's probably just making a funny face. Not to mention it's a private picture, she shouldn't have to apologize for something that she does on her own time. If she did it at a public event, that's a different story, but there is no reason for this, and to be honest, it pisses me off. What do you think, should Miley have to make a public apology.
