Eighth Grade- Age 13
"Nick Jonas" The teacher called again
"He's not here today, he's not feeling so well again" Miley said looking up from her notebook
"Well I am going to send you home with some work that he needs to complete" Mr. Peeler said to Miley
"Will do" Miley said nodding in response
Nick had been absent from school for the past two days, he said that he had been feeling nauseous, and couldn't stay focused enough to walk from his bed to the door. His parents took him to the doctor, but found nothing wrong with him. So they sent him home with no answers to why he was acting that way.
When the bell rang to signal that class was over, Miley went up to collect the work for Nick and went to find Lilly, Oliver and Joe. They usually all meet out in the front of the school. It was close to the end of school. Well it was practically the end of school, all the final testing was finished. The eighth graders only had about a week of school left, which meant that they would soon become freshmen in high school. Something that they were all excited about.
Oliver and Lilly were waiting for her there, but no sign of Joe. Miley looked around trying to see if she saw him. But nope, not a sight of him.
"Joe went home early, something about having a dentist appointment" Oliver said to Miley as she came closer
"Gotcha" Miley said nodding
"So what do you have there?" Lilly asked wide eyed looking at the yellow folder
"Nick's makeup work" Miley held it up wiggling it around for show
"Man, it's almost the end of the year and they still have work for us to do" Oliver said shaking his head
"Tell me about it" Miley said rolling her eyes "Well there's my dad, I better get going. I told Nick that I would come over after school"
"See ya" Oliver said
"Tell Nick that I said that I hope he feels better soon" Lilly said starting to back away going to catch her bus
"Me too" Oliver said
"Will do" Miley said nodding and waving to them, as she turned away and went into the car with her father.
"How was school darlin'?" Robbie Ray asked as Miley got in and shut the door, getting her seat belt on
"Good" Miley said smiling "We watched a movie today in my history class, but it had nothing to do with history. So that was pretty exciting. And Nick wasn't there again, have you heard from Mrs. D about what's going on with him?"
Robbie Ray shook his head
"As a matter of fact, I haven't even talked to them today. I will go over when you go over"
Miley nodded at the idea, but was quite the rest of the way. Instead of pulling into Nick's house her dad just went into their driveway. Miley was confused at that but Robbie Ray quickly explained
"I figured we could grab the chicken noodle soup that we made last night for him" Robbie Ray
"Yes" Miley's eyes lit up as she quickly got out of the car
She had stayed up pretty late the past night because she knew that Nick wasn't feeling good and wanted to make him some soup to make him feel better. So she decided to make him some chicken noodle soup, his favorite.
Miley opened the door with her spare key and went into the fridge grabbing the soup and grabbed a pan from under the cabinet and heated up the stove to put on the soup. She dumped in the soup into the pot and about ten minutes later the soup was finished. Her father had handed her one of the big bowls so that she could put it in there, ready to serve so when she got over to Nick's.
Robbie Ray said that he would be over in a few minutes with the rest of the soup. Miley smiled and practically ran out of the house, luckily without spilling any of the soup. Miley reached over the fence balancing the soup on top of her hand, and undoing the lock of the fence. She went up to the door, knocked twice and let herself in.
Denise was sitting at the table sitting there reading a magazine, but once Miley came in she looked up smiling at her.
"Hey sweetie" Denise said standing up
"Hi Mrs. D" Miley smiled brightly back at Denise
"Is that for Nicholas?" She asked
"Sure is, my dad and I thought that we could make him some of out homemade chicken noodle soup last night" Miley said
"He's upstairs awake, or he should be. I just checked on him about a half hour ago" Denise said going over to the silverware and grabbed Miley a spoon for Nick to eat the soup with
"Thank you" Miley said taking the spoon from her and going in the direction of the stairs. She walked carefully up the stairs, trying not to spill the still scolding hot soup in her hands. Miley reached the top of the stairs and took a quick left and going straight to the end until she reached Nick's bedroom.
Miley knocked once and once she heard a soft 'Come in' she opened the door knob letting herself in. She saw Nick in bed with covers halfway down his body, showing his white shirt that he had on.
"Hey" Nick said going to sit up so that he could talk but Miley shook her head and quickly went over to make him lay down
"Don't even think about it" Miley said putting the soup on the night stand beside his bed
"I don't need your help, and plus I am perfectly able to move myself" Nick said rolling his eyes
"I know I was just trying to help" Miley said smiling and forgetting what he just said "Alright now you got to try some of this soup"
Nick looked over at the soup as Miley climbed in next to Nick and sat down, grabbing the soup and spoon. She put the bowl in front her self, waiting for him to get ready and eat the soup
"Mmm…doesn't smell good?" Miley giggled
Nick rolled his eyes, her and her always good mood.
"What's the matter, you don't like chicken noodle soup?" Miley asked worried, he had liked chicken noodle soup, he ate it many times before.
"I can make it myself" Nick scoffed
"I know you can make it yourself silly, I was only trying to help you while your sick" Miley defended herself
"Ugh, why are you always so happy?" Nick groaned
"Who stole your socks this morning?" Miley tried ignoring him, by making a joke
Nick took the pillow and shoved it over his mouth
"This is like the millionth time you've been over this week. Can't you just leave me alone. I am sick not dying" Nick yelled the last part "And the soup, yeah don't ever make soup again it tastes like crap"
Miley stared in shock, not believing that he had said that. But she put it past her, not wanting to get in a fight.
"Your always so happy" Nick said going on and changing his tone to sound like Miley "Oh, the world is just made of a bunch of rainbows and butterflies, and there are unicorns flying around somewhere. I know it Nick, I just know it"
Nick had never acted this way before to Miley, ever.
"You are such a drama queen too, I mean look at you now. You can't even take the truth, you look like you're about to cry"
Miley turned her head and got off the bed.
"Don't ever think about talking to me again Nicholas Jerry" Miley said turning around to catch one glimpse of him before running out of the bedroom, before he got the satisfaction of seeing her cry.
Nick rolled his eyes
"And cue the dramatic exit" Nick rolled his eyes as she slammed the door. Miley ran down the stairs, and into the kitchen where her dad and Nick's mom were both standing and talking
Denise looked up and saw that Miley was already down there
"Was he sleeping?" She asked
Miley looked up with tears falling down her face
"Bye, Mrs. D" Was all Miley had to say as she whipped past her dad and Denise and out the door she went.
Robbie Ray excused himself as he followed his daughter all the way up to her bedroom. But before he could get a chance to talk to her, she slammed the door in his face enabling him from talking.
Robbie Ray opened up the door and saw Miley sprawled across her bed, and a pillow covering her head. He walked over and sat next to her on the bed, rubbing her back soothing her as she cried.
"What happened?" He asked after a few minutes
"I don't want to talk about it" Miley cried out under the pillow, but a few seconds later she jumped up "I'm not all butterflies and sparkles am I? I mean I was just trying to be a good friend, but apparently I am such a terrible bestie, because I brought over soup"
"He didn't like the soup?" Robbie Ray asked
"No he didn't like the soup and he didn't like anything I did" Miley said throwing herself back onto the bed. But popped right back up groaning "I'm not a drama queen. Can you believe that he said I was a drama queen?"
"No darling I can't" Robbie Ray laughing a little, as Miley threw herself back onto the bed. He waited a few seconds to make sure she wasn't going to pop up again, and he began to rub her back again
"Now would you like to tell me what's going on" Robbie asked his daughter
"No" Miley said shaking her head "I just want to be alone"
"If you need to talk, I will downstairs" Robbie Ray said getting up from her bed and kissing her on her head
Miley didn't say anything to him, in fact she didn't say anything him the next day. Nick hadn't been in school the next day, but when Thursday rolled around, Miley was surprised to see Nick sitting in his seat in second period. She hadn't talked to him since the day that she went over to his house. She wasn't ready to forget what he had said, because what he had said hurt her.
Nick looked over at Miley as she sat down next to him. But when Miley sat down she put her elbow down on the desk and laid her head on it, facing the other direction.
"Real mature" Nick muttered doing the same with elbow
Miley looked over but saw that Nick was doing the same, and rolled her eyes at his immatureness. As class went on Miley slowly started to get rid of the little wall they had going on. And she turned straightforward. And Nick was leaned back in his chair hands crossed over his chest.
"Are you still in your little mood?" Miley asked when there was five minutes left to class and they were able to talk as they please
"I don't know are you still you?" Nick retorted
"Fine be that way" Miley said standing up and going by the door to wait for the bell to ring
Nick gathered up his stuff and when the bell rang, he watched as the teacher stepped out of the classroom because it was her lunch.
He had still not been feeling good, but he decided that he just needed to stick it out and go to school because school was almost and he was going to miss everything. Plus he knew that he really needed to talk to Miley, because what he said wasn't him at all. It was something that had been happening lately. He would get frustrated at his mom or dad and would say stuff that he would later regret. So he felt that he owed Miley a huge apology.
But when he went to stand up, the dizziness came back to him. Like it had been the whole week, expect this was something different. Nick held onto the edge of the desk, trying to keep his balance. But it didn't work. It felt like his world was spinning too much for him to handle. His elbow crashed onto the table, leaving Nick to fall.
"Nick…" Miley said coming into the classroom prepared to get over their little fight they were in
But when Miley got in there all she saw was Nick lying on the floor passed out.
"Nick" Miley cried out running over to him, she shook his shoulders waiting for him to wake up but he didn't respond she knew that something was seriously wrong.
"Somebody call 9-11" She screamed twice and turning back to Nick when a teacher came running into the room "Come Nicky"
