Okay, it's been... almost a year since I updated this. Yikes! I give everyone permission to give me virtual slaps. I deserve them. Okay I am so sorry that it's taken this long, but just to be clear I will finish this story. I promise. Phew, hope you enjoy the next chapter.

Abandoned

Chapter 10

Nick felt his temperature rising as Mikayla pushed him backwards onto the bed and smiled sexily at him. She climbed on top of him and kissed him frantically, while her hand travelled down his stomach to unzip his jeans.

"Whoa, Mikayla slow down" He said as he felt her hands at the top of his briefs. He pulled her hands out of his pants and held onto them tightly "Mik, this is to soon. I think maybe we should just wait a little bit longer..."

"You've been waiting almost 10 years for this" Mikayla sighed, trying to get her hands back down to their original position "Do you really wanna wait any longer?"

"Yes" Nick lied as he wrestled with her hands "Now, stop it"

"Nick, c'mon!" Mikayla giggled pressing herself up against him "Live a little!"

"Mikayla stop!" Nick shoved her forcefully off him and she toppled onto the bed. She looked up at him, her big brown eyes brimming with tears clutching the cream bed sheets in her fists. Nick sighed and pulled her into him, her head pressed into his chest, rubbing soft circles on her cheek.

"I'm sorry Mickey, I didn't mean to yell" He cooed as Mikayla sniffed and wiped her tears on his shirt. She pulled away from him, then roughly pressed her lips against his once more, her hands travelling down the brim of his jeans.

"Mikayla," He groaned pushing her hands away again

"Please Nick," Nick looked up into her eyes as the tone of her voice became desperate "I need you to love me. I need someone to love me" Her voice cracked and her eyes became watery as she grabbed hold of his shirt and kissed him again repeating the same words "I need someone to love me"

Nick slowly pulled away from her and clutched her hands tightly "Mikayla" He said softly "You don't want this. You don't want me" His heart was breaking with every word he said, but he knew it was the right thing to do "You're in love with Miley. Always have been always will be. You wish...you wish she was here now instead of me... and thats okay, I understand"

Mikayla shook her head "No, Nick shes not here. You are. She left. You stayed. The one who stays is the one who cares right?" She tried to kiss him again but he pulled away, his eyes beginning to water and his face etched with pain.

"I can't take advantage of you Mik, I love you to much for that"

"If you love me then show me!" Mikayla said angrily throwing her hands up in the air

"I know you're hurting Mik, but you and I both know, this is going to help either of us" He wiped his eyes and took her hands "I love you Mikayla. I love you so much that it hurts. And what I'm saying to you now, is breaking my heart. I want nothing more than to pull you into my arms and hold you forever. But that's not what you want. I can see it in you're face. And I just want you to be happy, even if its not with me. We can't do this"

A tear rolled down Mikayla's cheek as she fell into Nick's open arms "Why is she doing this to me Nick? Why won't she love me?" She sobbed into his shirt

Nick wrapped his arms around her squeezing her shoulder gently "I don't know Mik"

Susan Stewart pulled into the driveway as her daughter had directed her to, of Clayton Tapper's house. She parked her truck and turned to Miley a grim smile on her face. "Is this where you've been living?"

Miley nodded half-heartedly eyeing her fathers convertible in the driveway. He was gonna be pissed at her.

"Oh, sweetie. I always knew you could do better than this! Engaged to Clayton Tapper for crying out loud! He was the most perverted child I ever did meet" Susan reached out to tuck a lock of Miley's brown hair behind her ear.

"He hasn't changed much" Miley muttered

"What was that baby??" Susan asked her eyebrows raised.

"Uhmm, nothing. Don't worry" Miley clicked her seatbelt and opened the car door stepping out onto the dirt drive. She squinted and raised a hand to cover her eyes from the blaring sun bouncing off the bonnet of Clayton's red pickup. "Oh shit" She mumbled to herself as she saw her father sitting out on the porch, a dark expression spread across his face. Slowly, she shut the car door and made her way up the stairs, Susan following close behind. Robbie Ray stood up and opened his mouth as if to yell at her, but instead he gaped at the sight in front of him unable to belive his eyes. The color drained from his face as he laid eyes on his ex wife, for the first time in almost 13 years.

"Hello Robbie" Susan's voice was cold and distant as she drew level with him "I would say it was nice to see ya again, but you know I was never a good liar"

"You've got some explaining to do dad" Miley said sullenly, standing beside her mother.

Robbie stood stunned as Miley approached him "What is this dad? You wanna tell me why I've always believed mom was dead?" Miley fought to keep her voice neutral, but the anger was winning over. Robbie simply looked between them, before regaining his stance "I did what was best for you and Jackson"

Miley wanted to scream at him, to wipe the growing smirk off of his face as he leered at Susan.

"You told me she was dead" Miley whispered "And you used it against me. I live with a disgusting pig, because you lied to me. I trusted you dad. I threw my life away, my family away for you!"

"This lifestyle is an improvement of what you had" Robbie scowled "You should be thanking me!"

"Thanking you?" Miley hissed "You've made my life hell! I cook and I clean and I am ordered around the house everyday by a dirty slob when I should be at home with my family! Enjoying my beautiful little girl-"

"Little girl?" Susan interrupted, shocked "You have a daughter?"

Miley swallowed sharply "Y-yes mom. I have a daughter"

Robbie-Ray's frown turned into a sickening smirk "You haven't told her have you? She doesn't know"

"Told me what?" Susan questioned, turning to Miley "What is it sweetheart?"

"Like mother, like daughter" Robbie leered "Because she comes from you she's damaged goods Susan"

"You shut up" Susan snarled at him "Miley, baby what is he talking about?"

Miley looked somewhat embarrassed and ashamed. If she hadn't just met her mom's lesbian lover, there was no possible way she would have spilled the beans right there and then. "I-I'm.. g-gay mom. Just like you"

Susan froze, momentarily stunned. If anything, she had not expected that.

"I'm married" Miley continued "I-I mean.. I was... and I have a daughter. Her name is Summer"

Susan's face cracked into a smile "I have a granddaughter?" She whispered in joy. Miley nodded hesitantly

"When can I meet her?"

A sharp pain shot through Miley's chest "Well... I-I don't exactly know where she is"

The smiled that had once graced Susan's face dropped off completely "What do you mean by that?"

Miley felt sick as she explained "I-I kind of... l-left them"

Susan looked horrified "Left them? Why?"

She couldn't even look at Susan. Instead she focused on the scuffed tips of her sneakers "I wanted to be straight"

She glanced up quickly to catch the angry look in her mothers eye spread across her features. Her jaw clenched and her eyes hard, she turned to Robbie-Ray and pointed a finger at him "You did this!" She spat "You sick son of a bitch"

"And I'd do it all again" Robbie-Ray leered "She's my child. I did what I could to protect her from the evils of this world."

"The evil she needs protecting from is you" Susan hissed wrapping her arm around Miley's shoulder. She turned her head to Miley slightly "Go and get your things Miles. I won't have you here with him for another second"

Miley slipped from her mothers grasp and ran into the house, leaving Robbie and Susan on the porch.

"She's not going anywhere" Robbie stated, his eyes darkening in anger. Susan took a step closer to him, smirking slightly "She's coming with me Robbie. I won't let you hurt that girl anymore"

Susan held her fierce gaze on him and smiled triumphantly when he looked away "Fine" He growled "Take her. I don't want that little dyke anywhere near me anyway"

Susan resisted the urge to slap him as he angrily ripped open the door and walked inside. She rested against the side of the house and closed her eyes, thinking over the last few hours. It still felt like a dream to her, finally seeing her beloved daughter after many years of searching and pleading. She wondered how Jackson was, if he too had children or was married. She made a mental note to ask Miley about it later.

"Mom?" Susan snapped out of her daze to see Miley standing in front of her, a small suitcase in hand. "Is that it?" Susan asked gesturing to the suitcase. Miley nodded with a small smile "I don't have much"

Susan nodded and led her down the stairs, towards her truck "We'll go back to my place" She explained, lifting Miley's suitcase into the back "Let's just hope you haven't scared off Billie" She teased, causing Miley to blush bright red and mumble an apology.

Susan chuckled "Don't worry about it honey. You were upset. Billie understands"

Miley looked at her mother with admiration. If only she had been brave enough to stand her ground and not question who she was, she might be at home, happy with Mikayla and Summer. Mikayla...

Miley climbed into the passengers seat quickly and turned to her mother who was shoving the keys in the ignition. "Mom" She started urgently "I need you to take me to all the hotels in the city. As fast as you can"

Susan opened her mouth to question her but Miley cut her off "You know that family I have? Yeah, I'm going to find them. Now"

Reviews anyone??
