They D̶o̶n̶t̶ Know About Us // Niley

Chapter Forty Eight

Miley's POV

I stared at mom in disbelief as I listened to every word she said. "This can't be happening," I said with my palms over my mouth.

I rushed over to the living room and picked up the TV remote from the side of the table, my hands shaking as I pressed the power button. The screen lit up and I increased the volume as I heard a few footsteps behind me.

"-In baton rogue, California last night. The couple was seen leaving with a black SUV." The host said and I turned around to see mom looking exhausted with her eyes fixed on the screen.

"But it seems that this is not the only encounter Nick and Miley had," The host continued and I turned back to the TV. "An insider said that they had been seeing each other in several other occasions. Turns out the time when they were spotted leaving Four Seasons, New York together was because they had spent the night in the same hotel room."

My mouth gaped as I shook my head, pictures of me leaving the hotel from months ago was spread across the screen.

"Although Nick, himself, had denied it a day after and claimed that they 'bumped into each other'. The insider also revealed that not only that these two had a few hook ups but they also had a relationship in March. This ended sometime in May, right before Miley left for her European tour."

A gasped escaped my lips and my hand flew to my mouth. Everything was kept a secret and the only one who knows were me and Nick, how could there be an insider? Everything was now revealed and out in the open.

"-Despite the fact that Nick is currently dating Miss Universe of 2012, Olivia Culpo." My eyes shot back to the screen where pictures of Olivia and Nick dominated the screen. My fist clenched as I felt rage growing inside of me. I snatched the remote from where I left it and pressed the power button, making the screen turn black.

I turned on my heel to face Mom. Her arms were over her chest and she was looking at me in disappointment. "Miley, I don't even know where to start." She sighed as she shook her head.

I let out a desperate sigh as I rubbed my forehead. "Mom, I don't think I can handle this right now." I said and her mouth slightly fell. "Miley, your career is in danger and you don't want to handle it?!" She protested.

"I said I don't want to." I corrected and she furrowed her brows. Our heads snapped to the door when we heard a faint knocking. Nick walked approached it and pulled it open, revealing his father's plump figure standing in the doorway. His eyes skipped past Nick and directly at me.

I ignored him and returned my gaze to mom. "Paul," Mom called as he walked to us with Nick following close behind.

"I'm not sure where to start." He instantly said as he threw his hands to the air. "My problem exactly." Mom mumbled under her breath as she shook her head again.

"Dad-"

"You two has caused so much trouble and somehow things always gets worse when we try to fix it." Paul said, looking at me and at Nick.

I looked away and threw my head back as I tugged on mom's arm. "Mom I need to-"

"Why don't you go get dressed first?" Mom quickly suggested as she threw a small bag at my direction. She looked down to my legs and I followed her gaze to find myself half bare. My eyes widened as I lower the bag to cover my thighs. Paul looked at me confused as I gave a small smile "Excuse me." I said as I speed walked out of the room. I caught Nick looking away with a smirk on his face. Asshole.

I let out a sigh when I got out of the room as I unzipped the bag and look through the contents. Mom had packed me a few pair of jeans and some shirt. She was probably in a rush and took whatever she found that could fit me. I slid into the jeans and quickly buckled it, not bothering to change my shirt. I'm pretty comfortable in the one Nick gave me.
