CHAPTER NINETEEN
"C'mon, Lover-Stars." Lilly grinned, we were on the deck of the boat, and we could even see the dock. Home. Even from the distance we could see the crowd, the people, the cameras.
"When we dock there will be ambulances for the the severely injured and the children." The severely injured being Hanson.
"No!" Lorraine went wide-eyed and ran full force into my legs, which would have knocked me over if Joe didn't have a steady hold on. "I wanna stay with Miley!"
"It's okay, Rai." I smoothed her hair back to look at her panicked face. "They're just gonna drive you to the hospital. We're gonna be there too, we're just going in a car."
"I don't wanna go without you." Lorraine looked up at me, tears swimming in her eyes.
"Can she just come with us?" Joe asked, he couldn't stand it when Lorraine cried.
"I'm afraid-" the person who had been talking started to say.
"Well, so is she; she's four years old and she's terrified, are you really gonna make her leave?" I snapped, lifting Lorraine into my arms. She still shied away from Joe a little after his attack on Hanson.
"It's for her own good." The man tried to convince us.
"It for your own good to back off and let her stay with Miley." Joe growled and I could practically feel the threat rolling off him.
"Don't be scary again, Joe." Lorraine said in a small voice and he winced.
"I'm sorry, Princess." The anger dissipated immediately.
"You need Miley cuddles to be not scary again." Lorraine decided and I blushed as a few people laughed; even the 4-year-old ha noticed what was going on between us.
"What about some Rai cuddles?" Joe held his arms out, but Lorraine shied away.
"The girl needs a more extensive medical check and the ambulance is the best way to make sure she gets the attention she needs." That got my attention.
"Rai." I cooed as she clinged to me. "What if you go with Carter, Sean and Will?" I hummed, brushing her long blonde locks away from her face. "I promise we'll see you at the hospital." If it was best for her than I wanted it to happen.
"I don't wanna go without you." Lorraine sniffled, her bright green eyes glistening.
"Miley. Cameras." Lilly hissed as we got closer to port; they were right this morning, it was a media circus, even at three in the morning. To be hinest I was surprised the kids were even awake, but I guess the excitement was keeping them up.
"It's okay, Lorraine, we'll see you real soon." I rocked her slightly. "What about if Doctor Lexi goes with you?" I looked up hhopefully at the good doctor who had the hots for Joe, but Lorraine seemed to like her.
"Promise you'll come back?" Lorraine asked tearfully.
"Promise." I assured.
"'Kay." Lorraine sighed heavilly and Lexi obediently stepped forward, holding out her arms.
"Good girl." I kissed her forehead.
"Are our families there?" Someone asked, we were getting closer and closer by the minute.
"All immediate family members have been permitted to the hospital." The captain of the ship said. "Parents, spouses, children and siblings only at this point."
"All of them?" Joe spoke up and I frowned slightly at the tone of his voice.
"Yes, Mister Jonas, your brothers are there, as I understand it they caused quite the media stir as well." Captain said and Joe sighed.
"Great. Just what I was trying to escape." He grumbled, going back into his brooding mode.
"The media?" I knew it was going to be bad, especially for us, like everyone was saying this morning - well, yesterday morning now.
"The brothers." Joe growled, his beautiful teddy bear brown eyes darkening with anger again. "And the parents. Can I stay with you if they try and do some stupid press reunion?"
"Of course." I think the 'fight with the bros' he talked about before was more than just a simple fight. "Don't lose your anger, Joey, I'm right here." They started going through safety measures for when we dock - only five minutes now - and what the plan was to get us all to the hospital safely.
"Get over here Otis." Joe called to Lilly. "Milo, Otis and a Jonas crash on an island... What's the punchline?" He threw an arm around both of our shoulders.
"You will be if Mister Stewart catches you with Miley." Lilly replied.
"She's worth it." Joe shrugged it off, grinning down at me. "Look at that beautiful face; Miley's worth the world." I blushed and looked down shyly, how could he make me so smitten?
"Gag me." Lilly muttered, rolling her eyes. "You two are grossly sweet."
"Hey, I had to live with Lilly-Pop and Ollie-Pop." I shot back good-naturedly. "Besides, Joe's like a giant, cuddling-back, flirting teddy bear crossed with an adorable puppy."
"I think my dick just shrunk." Joe commented with a grimace.
"Hey." I pouted, that wasn't supposed to be an insult.
"You called me a teddy bear puppy, Milo."
"My teddies see me naked." I stood on my toes to whisper in his ear seductively and his mouth clicked shut with an audible click.
"Do I wanna know what you said?" Lilly asked, eyeing us warilly.
"Probably not." I giggled.
"Okay, everyone, we have security to keep the masses back, but I suggest you sheild your eyes from the flashes." Nothing I didn't knwo already. "Injured and children will be going first in the ambulances, then the other cars will come to collect everyone else and you should all be at the hospital within half an hour if everything goes as planned." The captain continued; if everything went as planned we'd all be in France right now. The ship had finally stopped moving, anchored at the pier. as soon as the bridge thing was down between the ship and pier two ambulances drove up on board.
"It's okay, Rai, we'll see you soon." I promised when the little girl started to reach for me again with wide, scared eyes. "Doctor Lexi is gonna keep you nice and safe until we get there too, okay?" Lorraine stuck her bottom lip out in a pout, but nodded anyway.
"You monsters better be good." Joe adressed the boys. "We'll see you at the hospital, so you better look out for each other and stuff."
"Yeah, sure." Carter rolled his eyes. "See you at the hospital, Miley." He turned his bright, innocent eyes on me.
"Will do, Mini-Dude." I grinned, reaching over and ruffling his hair.
"That kid thinks the world of you." Joe muttered in my ear. "So do I." He kissed my temple.
"They're my boys." I smiled as I watched Will and Carter climb into one ambulance and Sean got in another with Lorrain and Dr. Lexi.
"What about me?" Joe asked as Hanson was brought out and loaded into the third ambulance.
"They're my boys." I repeated, reaching up and cuping his face, bringing him down to me. "You're my man." I hummed against his lips before I kissed him.
"Uh, Miles." Lilly pulled me away and I pouted. "Hundreds of cameras and you, the artist formerly known as Hannah Montana, just kissed the Jonas Brother." She hissed.
"Fuck." Joe let go of me and stepped away. "Sorry, Babe." He looked down. Just after the ambulances left a small fleet of black cars with very darkly tinted windows aproached.
"Let us get your names and which car you're in so we can inform the hospital; five to a car, you can choose who you go with." The Captain said. Joe, Lilly and I ended up in a car with Ted the architect and the girl who was all over Joe on the island - I think her name was Haley. Ted was staring out the windows with wide eyes, like he'd never seen so many people with cameras, or them being so pushy; they were fighting against the police security, yelling things - I could make out both mine and Joe's names - and the flashes would probably be blinding if it weren't for the tinting. He wasn't used to it like Joe, Lilly and I. Lilly was eyeing Joe and I, like we were some sort of math problem that needed to be solved, I'd talk to her about that later. Joe had shrunk down into his brooding stances, his dark, half-lidded eyes staring out the window dully, I sqqueazed his hand soothingly and he looked up at me and smiled weakly. The young woman - Haley - was staring at Joe with hearts in her eyes.
O
When the car pulled up to the hospital we were quickly ushered in with our heads down and the security trying to block the photographers view of us. The private hospital that had been chosen was busy and buzzing. Three cars were there before us and there were survivors mingling with their families, some people stopped to stare at us; the two stars. Ted broke away from us when he saw his parents, step-father and sister. Then Haley squealed and I couldn't help but smile when she hugged a girl a couple of years younger than her a boy even younger, her little brother and sister, and her parents weren't far behind. Another happy family reunited.
"You should get your head checked, Milo." Joe murmured lowly. "What if something happened from your concussion?"
"Lilly!" All three of us turned to the happy voice. Lilly's Mom, Heather and her Dad, Kenneth. "Oh, precious Lilly-Flower." Kenneth got teary before his ex-wife and daughter, and I could see Heather's son - Lilly's 9-year-old half-brother Daniel - sleeping in a chair not far away.
"Miss Stewart." A man in a white coat came over to Joe and I. "Your family is in a waiting room just this way." He beckoned me.
"She has to have her head checked, she had a concussion when we crashed." Joe spoke up, glaring at the doctor.
"Miley!" Lilly ran back and dragged me over to her parents where they promptly hugged me too. "We're finally home." Lilly whispered in my ear as both her and her parents hugged me, praising that we were both alright.
"Where is your Dad, Miley?" Heather was the first to ask.
"I, um." I sniffed, feeling the tears come, just overwhelemed with the emotions. "They're in a waiting room." I rubbed at my eyes. Heather smiled sweetly at me and rubbed my back soothingly.
"Why don't we get you to your Dad? He's been worried sick." Heather suggested and I nodded before Joe cut in.
"Nope. CT scan first, you had a head injury." Joe said, guiding me back to the doctor.
"Was that Joe Jonas?" I heard Heather ask as we drifted apart.
"Don't ask." Lilly muttered and I could tell by her voice that she was shaking her head and smirking.
"Okay, we'll get the CT machine ready, but why don't you go see your family while you're waiting?" The Doctor suggested, placating Joe who let out a relieved breath. "You too, Mister Jonas, you're family are nearby too, I think." He urged.
"Go on, Milo." Joe grinned, but it didn't reach his eyes. "Go find your Dad and brother, they're probably halfway crazy worried about you, which is understandable, so you shouldn't keep them waiting."
"What about you?" I asked, looking up at him with wide blue eyes.
"I'll be fine." He shrugged, pushing me lightly to where someone was saying my Dad and Jackson were waiting.
"Come with me." I didn't understand why, but I knew Joe didn't want to see his family right now, and I didn't want him to be alone, and this way Dad would be able to fawn all over him for saving my life.
"Maybe later, it's-"
"Come with me, Joe." I insisted, "for your sexy little grad?"
"I'll stay in the corner, you need some time with your family." He relented with a sigh.
"Where is she?" I could hear Jackson's voice through the door as we aproached. "They said everyone would get to see their families unless it was serious." I don't think I'd ever heard my big brother so panicked before. "Oh, God, Dad, what if-" I couldn't let him finish. I opened the door and was greeted with complete silence. Dad stared at me. Jackson stared at me. I stared at Dad and Jackson. Joe rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
"MILEY!" Dad and Jackson yelled at the same time, pulled me completely into the room and practically suffocating me in a bone-crushing hug.
"I'm never letting you out of my sight." Dad vowed into my hair. "Never again. You're my baby girl, you need to stay safe."
"Don't scare me like that, Mile." Jackson was saying at the same time. "You're never going to France ever again. You're never going anywhere on a plane ever again."
"I love you. I love you. I love you." It was all I kept repeating, I couldn't seem to be able to say anything else. I wasn't even sure they could understand me through my tears and blubbering.
