*Taneeka's pov*
It's been a few weeks since the incident with Elisabeth. Jonah, Zach, Emma and I are going out to Starbucks for some time out of the house.
"A grande Caramel latte please" I give the boy at the counter a tight smile and he gives me a wink
"And would you like a little cookie with that?" he gives me a sly smile
"No" I push a hair behind my ear
"Taneeka he's flirting with you" Emma nudges me and whispers
"I know" I mutter back
"Can I get you anything else beautiful" the boy smirks
"Nope" I sigh impatiently
His face drops and then he holds out his hand for the money. I place the correct about in his hand and then grab my ticket and wait to the side as the others order.
"Taneeka?" The boy smiles and I sigh grabbing my coffee from him
I see a number on the lid but I keep my eyes down and sit in a booth. Emma sits beside me and then I see Jonah and the boy arguing.
"He likes you" Emma whispers
"Who?" I frown
"Jonah" she nods her head at Jonah and the cashier as they bicker
"That means nothing Jonah can be impatient" I shrug
"Ooo you got his number!" She squeals pointing at my cup lid
"I didn't want it anyway" I mutter and stand up pulling the lip off my cup and making sure the boy at the cashier watches as I throw it in the bin and grab a new lid.
I sit down and shove the lid on my cup.
"What's wrong" Emma whispers across the table
"Nothing" I stare at my drink and then Jonah sits down on my side of the booth with a drink
Zach sits beside Emma and then the table goes silent.
"You feeling okay in the house?" Zach stirs his coffee
"Yeah it's okay....Daniel hasn't talked to me let alone looked me in the eye" I sigh
"He will talk to you soon....he feels like the worst person for what he did to you" Zach takes a sip of his coffee and gets a milk moustache
"Babe" Emma giggles
"What?" Zach frowns
"Come here" she wipes a finger across the rope of his lip and then wipes the cream on her tongue
Zach turns bright red and I grow lonely.
"I need a moment" I stand up and walk out the door not looking back at them.
I walk around the corner and see the beach so I walk down and sit on the pier. My feet in the water and the salty air blowing in my hair. This is where I felt most peaceful.
"You okay?" A voice interrupts my silence
"Yeah I'm fine" I sigh and then the voice sits beside me
"Are you sure?" It was Jonah
"Yeah" I nod slowly
"You can always talk to me " Jonah mutters
"I know" I look it at the ocean
"Have you ever wanted to be an animal....what one?" I look over at him
"A dolphin...they are super smart and everyone loves them" Jonah smiles
"I would be a bird....if I wanted to get away from the drama I could just flutter my wings and be gone.....the feeling of the wind in my feathers and the smell of the salty air and the feeling of being free" I stare at my hands
"Are you sure you ar-"
"I'm fine okay" I cut him off and stand up
"Taneeka you aren't. What's wrong?" He stands up and grabs my hand
"I'm sick of being treated like I'm broken! I'm so sick of having everyone walk into my room and asking are you okay? Do you need something? Do you want someone to hang out with? Are you feeling alright? How are you feeling? IM FINE OKAY I don't need you to check on me like I'm a child" tears start falling down my cheeks and Jonah's eyes grow wide
"Taneeka" he pulls me to his chest
"No Jonah. See what you are doing you are treating me like a kid" I push him away
"What am I meant to do when you are crying....leave you alone!?" His voice starts to get louder
"YES" I yell
"I can't do that " he shakes his head
"Why not!?" I cross my arms
"Because I can't stand seeing you upset. It hurts me to see you cry. Seeing you cry makes me want to cry and hurt the person that and ruling cry but that's when I remember I'm the reason you are crying" Jonah runs a hand through his hair
"Why do you care about me so much?" I shake my head and bite my lip to stop it from quivering
"BECAUSE IM IN LOVE WITH YOU" he yells
The sentence echoes through the air and through my body.
"You aren't in love with me" I shake my head
"You don't know that" Jonah shakes his head
"You don't even know me!" I run a hand through my hair
"Don't say that I do know you" tears fill his eyes
"I don't even know me Jonah. Why do you think I'm here!?" I sigh
"GUYS" Emma runs down the each towards us
"Guys no time for your drama.....It's Daniel" Emma grabs our arms
