Chapter 7

Nick's POV

Saved by the anesthesia. I left the room quietly not wanting to reawake Miley.

"Well, she's fast asleep again." I said, letting my eyes wander around the hall where Miley's friends (minus the figure skaters) and family were waiting patiently. They nodded after hearing my words. I took a seat next to Miley's father, Billy.

"Thanks son for taking care of my little girl," he said. I looked up at his face and nodded slowly.

"No problem, she doesn't deserve to be in pain," I said, looking straight ahead and going into my own little world.

~The Next Day~

Practice was shorter than usual and this gave me the opportunity to go see Miley. I changed and got ready and headed out of the lockey room only to see the other ice skaters waiting for the zamboni to finish up. I looked over at Justin and made a not so attractive face towards him. He responded with a snarky (a/n: dane cook anyone? lol) reply.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Mr. I-Will-Do-Anything-To-Look-Like-A-Hero. How's the patient?" He said, making the others giggle.

"She's fine, no thanks to you," I said, ready to get into a steamed argument.

"Not my fault she wasn't meant to be a pairs skater, anyways, give her my best and tell her I'm sorry for letting her get hurt. Next time, let me be the hero though. You're the hockey player, you're the hero every game. What am I? A guy in tights." He said in all seriousness. I laughed.

"Wow man, you just insulted yourself, see ya," I said, feeling accomplished. No one should hurt someone and then try to get away with it.

"Bye Nicky! Tell Miley I love her!" Selena yelled. I gave her a slight nod and then left.

Miley's POV

This is the first time in 24 hours where it doesn't hurt to think. I looked at the clock on the nightstand. 8:00am. I wonder how skating practice is going. They probably forgot all about what happened. A nurse came in and checked the monitors, wrote down some stuff, and then left. I never understood why nurses are so unpleasant. They chose this career, and they should embrace it. Maybe that should be my backup plan... a nurse...

Knock. Knock. Who's there? I thought, not really wanting to speak.

"Miley? Are you awake?" Nick said, opening the door slightly.

I cleared my throat. "Yeah."

"Good, I brought you something," He said, opening the door more and letting himself inside. On the edge of my bed he placed a stuffed animal monkey dressed in skating gear. Aw.

"Adorable," I said, cracking a smile.

"Good," he repeated. Awkwardness.

"So... how was hockey practice?" I asked casually, although I didn't really want to hear about it.

"Alright. We finished early, and I saw some of your skating friends." He said.

I rolled my eyes. "What did they have to say?"

"Not much, Justin gives you his best, Selena loves you, and that's about it." He said slowly, trying to make it sound like more was said when it really wasn't.

"Oh. Well I'll be out of the hospital this afternoon. They are gonna put the cast on eventually. But I'll still be in bedrest at home until I feel comfortable to walk with the cast on" I said, rambling off everything that needs to be done.

"Shh, just relax. You'll be fine," he said, putting a hand up telling me to stop talking.

Silence. Now what?

"Nick, why are you being so nice to me?" I said, propping myself up so that i could see him better.

"I don't really know." At least he was honest. "I think I sort of have to in order for you to like me... err.. like me as a person, and not just because i'm a Jonas," he rambled. I smiled.

"I already feel different about you and your family. The fact that you confronted your brother makes me know that you care. The fact that he admitted and was apologetic shows that he cares for me despite the fact that he doesn't know me. You've done so much, AND you saved me. Even though you were the one that made me fall," I said laughing. He joined in as well. I stopped laughing when I realized what was happening. We were having a moment.

"That Justin guy is interesting..." Nick said suddenly. "He seems... shallow."

"He is, and I thought he was a great guy, until a few days ago. I mean, he was my partner and he let me fall! I know I'm not the best with pairs skating but I mean come on! He should've felt me slipping. Then he could have caught me. I'm really worried for Selena if that ever happens to her. But now it happened to me and I have to deal with the pain," I partially yelled trying to explain my reasoning.

"You'll be better and skating in no time," he said reassuringly. I nodded. "So since you seem to have issues with Justin, I bet you aren't going to go out with him again?"

I laughed. "Yeah right. That was a one time thing. He'll probably poison my food next time, then wait for the waiter to notice and THEN call 911," Nick laughed and smiled his crooked smile.

"Well.. in that case. Miley, do you want to go out with me sometime?" He asked, gazing right into my eyes. This time, I didn't pass out or cry like before.
