I was so used to waking up in different places that I was not surprised to be waking up in the Grey home. What did surprise me was that I was actually waking up in a bed. I hadn't slept in something this nice in a while.

I got up and crept down the hallway towards the kitchen. I had no idea what time it was but I was guessing mid-morning. Even though it was my first night there I already felt safe and comfortable here. The only problem I had was that I wasn't sure that that was a good thing.

As I got closer the voices seemed to get madder. If that was even close to possible. I was now outside the door of the kitchen.

"You haven't even met her!" I heard Denise yell.

I couldn't understand why Denise was so who was never met?

"I don't need to meet her to know her!"another voice yelled.

"Denise, he does have a right to an opinion." A third vice called out.

"Oh, you would say that" Denise said bitterly

I took a chance and peeked in closer. I could see Denise looking pissed and a curly-haired boy and another man facing each other.

The curly-haired one I guessed was Nick and the other man would most likely be Mr. Grey.

"Look mom why do I have to like her?" Nick said " She already has you and Demi treating her like a wounded puppy"

"Because she is a guest Nicholas and I am your mother you are to do as I say!" Denise shouted.

I could tell Denise was getting even more upset by the minute.

Even though I was in the hallway I could feel the tension in the room. I was waiting to see what would happen next when a thought came to me. I was the guest. The woundedpuppy. The one Mr. Grey and Nick want nothing to do with.

I was no longer hungry and I felt a wave of nausea moving in.I should've known that this was never going to last. I was really kidding myself with this one. No one wanted or needed me I should've known that from the past.

I turned away so I could go to my room when I bumped into a wall.

"Ow."

"Sorry. "I said babbling

When I looked up it wasn't a wall but a guy who I guessed was Joe.

"Hey its okay no harm done"Joe said

Before I knew it Denise, Nick ,and Mr. Grey was in the hallway with us.

I turned to Joe with a worried look on my face. As if he read my mind he tried to lighten up the mood.

"Woah, its okay I'm Joe by the that rhymed!"Joe said laughing

Despite the current situation I couldn't keep myself from laughing at his stupid was all going well until Mr. Grey spoke up.

"What is going on?" Mr. Grey demanded. I had to admit I was scared of him. Even though I was nearly his height I still felt intimidated.

"Joe is being nice Paul something you and Nick no nothing about being." Denise said smiling at Joe.

I wasn't so sure what to do so I just blurted out the first thing that came to my mind.

"Hi, um I'm Miley" I held out my hand for him to shake, but it was ignored.

He looked away from me and stared at mom expectantly.

" Well what do you want me to say Paul?" Denise asked

Mr. Grey looked like he had something to say but didn't say it. All he did was give me a death glare and walked out the door.

Nick's Pov

Okay now she was definitely not what I expected. As my dad was walking , no storming out of the house I was pretty shocked he didn't say anything. No matter what my dad always has something to say. And he always gets the last .

"Nick, don't you have something to say?" My mom said snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Um no."

" Nick introduce yourself to Miley this instant."mom said getting impatient.

Usually I would listen to my mom when she got mad like this but not this time. I didn't care about Miley. Nor do I care about her blue eyes that remind me of the ocean a little bit. I just don't care.

"Why should I when you just said my name. I doubt she's an idiot" I said as I took a look at Miley "Then again she might be. You never know."

All through this Miley was silent. My mom looked like she was going to explde and Joe well Joe looked like he wanted to kill me but I really didn't care. I walked past all three of them and headed up the stairs.

I took a quick look behind and saw that Miley's eyes were staring right back at mmine. Thjey did not look happy.

I could hear my mom calling my name behind me but I kept walking and ran right into Demi.

" Hey Nick I think mom's calling you." She said.

"And I am supposed to care because?" I said

Before she could answer I walked into my room and slammed the door. I got my ipod and blasted some Green now it was all about me.

Miley's POV

Oh hell no. You just have to be kidding me.

"oh Miley I am so sorry. He usually isn't this way." Denise said

"Uh yeah mom he is usually like this. Ever since dad got him on the basketball team."Joe said cutting in. Denise gave him that look that said 'shutup or else'.

Denise walked away after telling me how she had to go out and if I needed anything to just ask if on cue Demi came right after her Mom shut the front door.

Hey Miley . Hey Joe Bro." Demi said (A/N I couldn't resist. I just had to put that line in.)

Hey Demi." Joe and I said in unision.

We went to breakfast and Joe and Demi told me all the things I needed to know while I lived here. I even found out I was going to school. Which was great because if I didn't get accepted to any colleges at least I can say I graduated high school.

I just couldn't stop thinking about Nick. I am definitely not an long as I avoided Nick and Mr. Grey as much as possible maybe things will be okay right? How hard can it be?

While Demi was in the bathroom I finally got to ask Joe why he stood up for me.

"Miley you weren't doing anything wrong. I saw you coming fro your room and I called your name but I guess you didn't hear. Plus demi likes you and she needs a friend so you look like your decent enough to be that."Joe explained.

"Thanks I guess."I answered

"But Miley I'm telling you now Nick will stop at nothing to bring you down and my dad will be there to help." Joe warned.

Okay is it me or does this family love warnings?

"Why me? I just got here what does anything have to do with me?"

"He figures you don't belong and what do you do when something doesn't belong?"

Before I could answer Demi came back and I began to wonder how long am I really going to be here.

Well here you guys go! Man Miley really doesn't know what she is in for does she? Well R&R please.
