Nick's p.o.v
An hour has gone by and there has been no news. I sat in the corner of the lobby and watched people fill the room. Trace and Brenda arrived. So did Lisa and Jesse. A few other friends of Miley showed up but I didn't bother to try and talk to them or anyone. I wanted to breath. I wanted to be alone and I didn't want to talk about Miley. I couldn't handle it anymore.
I looked at my Instagram feed and scrolled through the posts that were showing love and support for Miley. Neil Lane randomly showed up on my feed and I was caught off guard. He had posted a picture of a new collection that he was working on. I froze in place as my mind began to think about Miley and my future with her.
I quickly stood to my feet and walked out of the room and to find some place private. I found his contact information from my old manger and called him.
"Hello," Neil said answering the phone. I was lucky that he even picked up my call.
"Neil?" I asked.
"Yes, who is this?" He asked.
"It's Nick Jonas," I said clearing my throat. I was at a lose of words and I wasn't sure what to say to him because I couldn't form my thoughts into a sentence.
"Ah, Nick Jonas. I think we met an an AmFar Galla a few years ago." He said and I was happy that he remembered me.
"Yes, I believe we did." I said clearing my throat.
"What can I do for you?"
"Well, it just so happens that I was looking on Instagram and I saw your recent post about your new collection and I liked what I saw. I was wondering if I might be able to get my hands on one of the rings shown in the picture." I said finally forming my thoughts into a sentence.
"Well, they haven't been released yet." He wandered. "Which one were you interested in?"
"I really like the round cut. I think it was the only round cut in the photo." I said.
"Ah, yes I know which one you are talking about." He cleared his throat.
"Is there any possible way I can buy that one?" I asked sounding hopeful.
"Well, I don't see why not. How about we set up a meeting for a few days from now and we can go over the design. You can personalize it if you like. That way it will be unique for your girlfriend." He explained.
"I would love that," I smiled for the first time in a while.
"Can I ask who the luck lady is?" He asked.
"Miley Cyrus," I cleared my throat. "At the moment we are in the hospital because she was in a bad accident earlier last night. We are still waiting on her to wake up." The smiled had completely faded away and fear for her life took over my body.
"I'm so sorry," he paused. "I will be keeping her in my thoughts." He said lowly.
"Thank you," I sighed.
"Well, how about I come to you?" He asked.
"You don't have to do that." I countered.
"No, I insist." He replied. "I have met Miley quite a few times and she is a spectacular lady. I don't want you to leave her side. I will fly your way and meet up with you tomorrow. Can I call you at this number?" He insisted and I wasn't in my right mind enough to refuse.
"Yes," I said.
"Good, you go be with your lady and I will get in contact with you soon." He said before we said our goodbyes. I ran back into Miley's room to see Billy standing looking down at his daughter.
Billy and Tish hadn't left the room much and I completely understood why. I wish that I was as strong as they were. It was hard for me to watch Miley laying there completely still but they were strong in ways I couldn't imagine.
"Billy?" I asked grabbing his attention. "Can I talk to you in private?"
"Of course," he nodded and followed me out the door.
"What's wrong?" he asked. He looked worried.
"Nothing is wrong," I shook my head. "I just had question." I cleared my throat.
"Oh?" he asked crossing his arms and the sudden worry had left.
"I was wondering if I might have your daughter's hand in marriage?" I asked shyly.
I wanted his blessing; I needed his blessing. I already knew I didn't have my parents and at this point I didn't care. Billy and Tish were my parents and I needed their blessing more than anything.
"Nick, I would love if you married her." He smiled at me and pulled me in for a tight hug.
"Thank you," I said hugging him back. I felt myself smiling and I knew that he was smiling too.
"You are already a part of the family so we might as well make it official." He laughed before pulling away.
"I suppose we are going to keep this on the down low for a while, correct?" He asked.
"Yeah, until she is out of here." I nodded. "I am meeting with Neil Lane about the ring tomorrow." I said as a smiled began to spread across my face.
"I am so happy for the you and Miley. You know how much we care about you, as if you are our own son." Billy smiled before pulling me into for another bear hug. I was grateful for him and the rest of Miley's family.
"Thank you," I said hugging him back.
"Let's get in there," Billy said gesturing towards Miley's room. I nodded and followed him into the room.
I sat down on the couch next to Billy and patiently waited for Miley to wake up. Trace, Noah, Brandi and Braison came into the room and counted down the last few minutes. No one said a word, instead we just watched Miley's still body.
A soft noise escaped Miley's lips; it was a moan. Everyone jolted towards her. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked at everyone in the room. We all stayed silent because we didn't know what to say. It was a miracle that she even woke up.
"Miley," The doctor said walking toward her bed.
"Can you hear me?" He asked and she nodded.
"Do know where you are?" He asked taking a flashlight to her eyes.
"Yeah," her voice croaked. "The hospital," she said with a dry throat.
"Do you remember what happened?" He asked.
"There was an accident," she said with a cough. He handed her some water and she drank it.
"Do you know the people in this room?" He asked after she was done drinking.
"Yeah," she nodded. Her voice was still dry.
"Can you name them?" he asked.
"Briason, Trace, Brandi, Noah, mom, dad, and Nick." She said with her dry throat.
"Good job," he said.
He then went on to talk about some tests they would have to run in order to check that everything was okay. After a while he left the room and everyone gathered around Miley. She didn't say much but she nodded and smiled. The nurse came in and said that she needed some rest. Brandi told her about everyone who came to visit her and everything that was being said online in support for Miley.
After a while the room was empty. Tish and Billy decided to go home and shower and change along with everyone else. I even told my brothers to go get some rest and come back tomorrow. They ordered me some food and said they would bring me a change of clothes because I wasn't going to leave.
"Hey," I said walking towards Miley's side.
"Hi," she said dryly. I gave her something to drink.
"I missed you," I said moving her hair out of her face.
"I missed you," she said grabbing my arm. I leaned down and kissed her lips.
