They D̶o̶n̶t̶ Know About Us // Niley

Chapter Fifty Seven

"Olivia..." He sighed, looking back and forth weakly to Olivia and the weapon in her hand.

Olivia's mouth hung agape, struggling to find the words to say as I watch silently. Olivia's arm around Demi's neck loosened until finally she was out of her grip.

Demi quickly paced to Nick and went behind him to shield herself away. Everyone stood in silence with our eyes glued to Olivia waiting for her to break the silence.

Olivia looked down to her hand and back to Nick before she shook her head "It's not what you think! I can explain!" She said in defense.

"Don't believe her, she tried to kill me!" Demi hissed as Olivia's eyes widened "She held me as hostage to get Miley to lie to you that she wasn't the one who blackmailed her!" Demi continued as Olivia shook her head violently.

"No! Nick, baby that's not true!" She yelled in defense as she stared into Nick desperately. "Don't you fucking deny it! You even tried to shoot Miley!" Demi replied as she bobbed her head from behind Nick.

Nick's eyes widened as his gaze snapped to me in disbelief as he studied me. "Miley, is that true?!" He asked and I froze in place.

Of course he'd asked me, I'm not one to brag but I'm the one he could trust. But how am I supposed to answer? Olivia held a gun in her hand and I'm afraid if I say something I could be her next victim.

"Miley tell him!" Demi yelled, snapping me back to reality "Say something!" She pressed as I looked at her blankly as she continued to nod her head. I turned my direction to Olivia who's face has turned pale as she stared at me weakly, shaking her head slowly as she motioned to the gun.

I part my lips as I stared into Nick's eyes. He was keeping a great distance between us which I wish he hadn't so I could run behind him like Demi did, maybe if I had we could all escape in time and call the police or anything else that wouldn't have to force us to deal with Olivia.

But now here we are, all of us waiting for me to say something. I didn't know what to do, Nick's eyes are still glued on mine, patiently waiting for me to answer him.

"Miley, say something..." Nick said calmly as he extended his hand for me to take it. Clearly he wasn't afraid of Olivia or what she might do, or he wasn't aware of what she's capable of.

I backed away slowly as Nick looked at me in confusion. "Well?!" Demi yelled impatiently "Tell him already!". I finally opened my mouth as I studied Nick's expression, before I could let out a word my back collided with someone's body as a long tan arm went around me and pulled me by the neck.

Nick and Demi gasped as I struggled to move. Olivia had taken me into her grip and was pointing the gun to my heart. I choked on my breath when I feel the warm object against me and almost screamed. But I didn't want to panic anyone...especially Nick.

"What are you doing!?" Nick instantly yelled.

"What the fuck?! Let her go!" Demi shouted as she stomped closer to me.

"I'll shoot!" Olivia said as my heart jumped to my throat in surprise. "No! Are you fucking crazy?!" Nick yelled in panic but he didn't dare to move.

I felt my eyes began to water, I don't want to end like this but it somehow felt like I have to. My heart beats rapidly against the barrel which made me choke on my own breath.

"Nick, do something!" Demi yelled in panic as she tugged on Nick's arm.

"Olivia...let her go, please!" Nick begged desperately, folding his hands to prove his point. "I'll do anything, please just let Miley go!"

"Anything?" Olivia echoed in suspicion and interest. Nick nodded violently as he extended both his hand to reach me.

"Anything, just please..." Nick trailed off weakly as his mouth fell. I know what that means. Everyone knew what that means.
