Nick's POV

Walking into her room the last two days has nearly killed me. They needed to let her body heal and to ease the pain so they put her in a sleep induced coma. They just took her off today and now it's all up to Miley whether or not she wants to wake up.

I shouldn't ask her to do that. I know I shouldn't but honestly I can't help but beg her to open her eyes. I've only been home once in the last three days and honestly I don't care. I want to be here when she opens her eyes. I owe her that and so much more.

I don't know what to tell her. How do you explain to someone who's been through hell the last seven years that you're the reason they almost died? It's impossible. I don't actually know if I'll tell her I was with Selena.

"Nick?" Demi said standing in the doorway.

"Hey." I said never taking my eyes off Miley.

She walked over to me and sat down. She stared at me worriedly and I automatically knew why she was here.

"I'm not leaving her."

"But no one is telling you to Nick. We're worried about you. It's not your fault she's here. We don't even know why she was out in that storm. Until she wakes up we won't know much of anything."

"Demi, that's if she decides to wake up." I said bitterly "If I had gone through everything she has I wouldn't get up either."

Silence. She was speechless and I was not satisfied. They kept telling me it will all be alright and that it's not my fault but it is. It is all my fault. Now t was once again time for them to know.

"Demi, I have something to tell you."

"Okay. What is it Nick?"

As I began to tell her the story my mother and father suddenly walked in followed by Kevin and Dani. I was shocked to see both of them. I hadn't seen my mom in a while and you could tell she hadn't been doing so well. My dad on the other hand looked absolutely sick. I saw him a few days ago but it's like he aged 20 years. His face empty and expressionless and his eyes guilty and sorrowful.

"Nick…Demi….Oh dear God Miley." Mom said

She walked over to Miley and stroked her face. I suddenly didn't want her here. I don't anyone here. This was my time it Miley and I wanted all of them out.

It reminds me of something we read in literature. It was the tell tale heart by that Poe guy. He kept hearing the beat of the dude he killed. My problem is that I see Miley's face wherever I go. But that could be because I won't leave her side.

"Demi, Nick can I talk to you guys outside alone?" My mom asked.

I stared at Demi for a moment and she shrugged. I turned and looked at my dad and he looked so out of it I didn't mind leaving him there with Miley.

"Fine."

We stepped out into the hall and into the main lobby.

Mr. Grey's POV

The room was dead quiet all I could here was the beeping of the heart monitor. I looked around and it brought back memories of when Denise was in the hospital.

"Guilt's a bitch don't you think?"

"I'm not guilty. I did nothing wrong." I answered back.

"At least now I know how you sleep at night. With denial."

"Miley, you're delusional. You just woke from a coma and are confused."

"If I'm so damn confused then how do I know that it was your black SUV that hit me? Or that you covered me. At that one moment you finally felt remorse didn't you?" She asked.

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Is the dent still in the car? There has to be one. Just one anonymous tip to the police and the truth will be set free."

"You wouldn't dare."

"Really Paul? I wouldn't. I've thought about some things lately and I realized if so many people came make my life hell then I can do the same to them. First on my list is you."

It was serious now. How could I be blackmailed by a seventeen year old?"

"Fine, what do you want?"

"Miley, you're awake!" Nick yelled.

She smiled and reached for him as he got closer to the bed. They hugged for what seemed awhile until I quietly made my way out the door. This conversation isn't over with no matter how much I wish it could be.

Nick's POV

"Are you okay? Oh silly question of course you're not. I'm sorry you were out in the storm because of me and you almost died because I was an idiot."

"I know Nick. I know." She said sadly.

"Miles, what's wrong?"

She turned away and looked out the window. "Nothing everything is just peachy."

"Miley….."

"No Nick I don't want to hear a sorry this time. I want to hear that you'll really change. I need you to stop doing things without really thinking. I love you and you know that. But why does it always feel like you forget that you love me?"

"Miley, I'm so-"

"No! Just stop saying that word. Starting now sorry doesn't mean a thing to me. I'm done with this Nick. You've come along way from where you were but there are still some kinks you need to work out. And so do I."

"You're not breaking up with me are you?"

"No. But I will if you don't change. I'm afraid of what's going to happen next time."

Before I could say another word a man walked in the room and I saw Miley's eyes open in shock.

"Um sir, I'm not sure you're supposed to be in here." I said

"Daddy?" Miley whispered.

I stared at Miley and her father and I knew that we were in for a lot today.

Oh wow. That was not my best chapter especially since a lot of you have been waiting for this for awhile now. Laziness, school, and more laziness have taken over my world. This time I'm going to update in a few weeks. Now that we all know who hit Miley we have to officially revel the rest of the secrets. My goal is to end this story at 24 r 25 chapters. And yes this story is most definitely going to end up as a Niley story.
