Emma's P.O.V
Uneasiness was the perfect to explain my state right now.
However, now that I am thinking of it, I feel really stupid. How could I let Jax be responsible for my nervous situation? I should move on. Key word: should.
Unfortunately, I can't and I have no idea why.
Maybe because you still like him?
Pshht, no!
Maybe because the thought him and another girl makes you want punch a brick wall with your bare hand?
As if..
I sigh at the inner battle inside of me and groan too.
"What happened?" Daniel asks next to me.
We were currently sitting in the Seven, I was next to Daniel. We were waiting for Jax and his girlfriend to fill in the other side of the booth.
"Oh, nothing. Just waiting until the star couple arrives." I murmur.
"But we're already here." Daniel says innocently and I shake my head in mock disapproval.
"Yea, sure Mister Delusional Daniel." I say and Daniel lets out a fake gasp.
"What do you mean by delusional?" He brings his face to my hair and muzzled in my hair. I smiled, but it was forced.
"Ahem." I hear a familiar deep voice, annoyedly say. Daniel quickly separated from me and gave me a lopsided smile.
They sat in the booth, Jax and Mia that is.

"Yea, it was so sick!" Daniel exclaimed.
"And you swam that mile all by yourself?" Mia asks.
"Yep." Daniel brags.
For the past hour, Daniel and Mia were having a heated conversation whereas Jax and I barely joined.
I smiled along but it was fake. I looked over at Jax and saw a very bored expression plastered on his face.
That makes the two of us.
We finished eating pizza, but we were just waiting for the cake that Diego (one of Daniel's friends on the swim team) had insisted on making especially for us.
While Daniel and Mia were chatting it up, I noticed that she kept on looking at me from time to time when Daniel spoke.
Everytime, she would give me the same toothy grin and I had to return it.
"Excuse me, I need some air but I'll be right back guys." I got up and was about to walk away until I heard a shuffle behind me.
"I'll join you Emma." Mia said and we both walked outside.
"Are you okay?" Mia asked. I hadn't at first realized that the question was directed at me.
"Oh, me? Yea, I'm fine." I replied and a few moments of silence passed between us. It was dark outside but not so cold.
"Daniel seems like a great guy. You're lucky." Mia said to me finally breaking the ice.
"He is a great guy."
But not for me, I wanted to add.
"Do you love him?" She asks me.
Now the air that I desperately needed was suffocating me. I knew the answer to that question.
The way I have been missing Jax and the way my kisses with Daniel felt incomplete, I knew the answer very well.
But I knew that Daniel had liked me a lot and still does. And I like him back but not love. It would be awful to just break it up because I have mixed feelings.
"Yes..I love him." My voice came out strained.
When I turned to Mia, I saw her eyes in literal flames and it was frightening seeing her out of her usual nice composure.
"Liar. You do not love him." Mia stated.
The air was nauseating.

Very small update for today but that was what I could manage right now!
Anyway, Mia already knew that Emma didn't love Daniel but Mia has other plans with that information!
