(Bailey) my purse!

(Miley) *grabs her head* umm…OW…what are you yelling about?

(Bailey) I have Tylenol in my purse…I started carrying it after my last run in with the love punch and Dad hid it all… *runs upstairs to her room, Miley directly in tow*

*B grabs her purse and dumps the contents out onto her bed frantically looking for the Tylenol*

(Bailey) son of a bitch!

(Miley) what? And will you stop screaming please…

(Bailey) he got into my purse…he got into my purse and took my Tylenol…

(Miley) *groans* should have called that one…

(Bailey) unbelievable…

*B stomps out of her room and walks into Nick’s room*            

(Nick) hey boozy

(Bailey) you got in my purse?!

(Nick) *smirks* yup *popping his P*

(Bailey) why are you being so mean? You are supposed to be on my side…that’s how this twin thing works…

(Nick) you know what else is part of the twin package…NOT lying to eachother

(Bailey) *sighs* I shouldn’t have lied to you

(Nick) you shouldn’t lie at all…

(Bailey) but especially not you…I’m always honest with you…

(Nick) not only did you stand here and lie to me when I asked what you were up to…but then last night when you came home and I knew you were drunk you continued to lie…

(Bailey) *sighs* I feel awful…

(Nick) that’s your own fault…you aren’t getting the Tylenol back…

(Bailey) no, I mean about lying to you…I’m sorry

(Nick) good *picks up guitar and starts to play*

(Bailey) *whines* Nick…

(Nick) look, B, you can’t just say you are sorry and expect everything be magically ok…I accept your apology…but that doesn’t mean that I’m not still mad at you…

(Bailey) *sighs* fine

*B walks out of Nick’s room and back into hers to find Miley passed out on her bed asleep, she lays down beside Miles and soon surrenders to sleep as well not waking until hours later when she feels the bed shift and opens her eyes to see Joe.*

(Joe) Mom and Dad are home, you might want to hop in the shower, you reek of alcohol.

(Bailey) *nods* thanks Joey

(Joe) mmhmm

*B gets up and grabs some clothes before disappearing into the bathroom to take a shower*

Bailey’s Inner Monologue

Thankfully my little nap seemed to do me some good, my headache had subsided to a dull thud and I found my shower to be just the trick I needed to make me feel somewhat human again. The rest of the night was spent in an awkward silence with neither Joe nor Nick talking to me and by bedtime the silence was enough to drive me mad.

(Miley) *sighs* will you just go talk to him already, you are driving me bananas

(Bailey) you are cranky today…and what did I do? I’m just laying here

(Miley) I’m sorry I’m cranky, I’m just tired but its 1am and you are flopping around and sighing every five seconds keeping me awake

(Bailey) sorry…I don’t sleep well alone…

(Miley)*crawls up into the bed with B* there…now do that twin snuggle thing you do and just pretend I’m a curly haired diabetic boy

(Bailey) *giggles* yea…that’s not disturbing at all

(Miley) shut it, you want a shoulder or not?

*B zips her lip and lays down on Miley’s shoulder, after a few minutes of unsuccessfully attempting to get comfortable B lets out a sigh*

(Miley) *growls* Ima beat you

*B’s door opens and Nick shuffles in*

(Miley) thank Jesus…here, switch me *rolls out of the bed letting B’s head hit the mattress and walks out of B’s room into Nicks room*

*Nick chuckles at Miles as she exits in a huff before walking over and sitting on the edge of B’s bed and looking at her with tired eyes*

(Bailey) *sits up* Couldn’t sleep?

(Nick) *shakes his head* no…

(Bailey) I’m really sorry I lied to you, I promise I won’t lie to you again…I’ll even confess to Mom and Dad if you want me to just please don’t be mad at me anymore, I can’t take it

(Nick) *cocks a brow* you would confess to Mom and Dad about lying to Kevin and going to a party and getting drunk?

(Bailey) yes…if I have to…anything is better than you being mad at me

*Nick smiles and lays down pulling B down to snuggle into his shoulder, B sighs and nuzzles in*

(Bailey) I’ll tell them in the morning…they should be well rested before they kill me

(Nick) *chuckles* you don’t have to tell them…just don’t ever lie to me again

(Bailey) I won’t

(Nick) promise?

(Bailey) pinky promise *holds out pinky without unburying her head*

(Nick) *chuckles and hooks pinkys with B* you know what happens if you break a pinky promise right?

(Bailey) no, although I’m sure it’s bad…according to Sam’s sister they are the highest form of a promise

(Nick) they cut off your pinky

(Bailey) *sits up and stares at Nick her mouth gaping* NU-UH

(Nick) *chuckles* why do you think they call it a pinky promise?? If you break your promise they cut off your pinky so everyone knows you cant be trusted

(Bailey) you are making that up

(Nick) *cocks a brow* am not…google it

(Bailey) how would I play piano without pinkys?

(Nick) why? Are you planning to break your promise?

(Bailey) no…

(Nick) *smiles* good, then your pinkys are safe *pulls B back down to snuggle in his shoulder* love you

(Bailey) I love you too…hey Bubba…

(Nick) hmmm?

(Bailey) I kinda feel bad for Peanut when she gets older

(Nick) why is that?

(Bailey) 'cause with you around that girl won’t be able to get away with anything…you have like a built in lie detector

(Nick) nah…I’m just observant…like…I know you aren’t the only one that’s been lying lately

(Bailey) *sits up and stares at Nick* what do you know? Spill it!
