Stepbrother- A Why Don't We Imagine [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 13

It's been weeks since Jonah and I talked. The whole time he's been avoiding me and I had no idea why. What did I do? Was I the one who hurt him? How did I hurt him? All these questions left unanswered. He wasn't sitting with us at lunch anymore. Each day I would hope that he was sitting right in his spot, but sadly no.

The dismissal bell rang and I walked up to my locker to put my stuff away. As I'm closing my locker I see Jonah walk pass me. I quickly turn in the direction he was heading in. He walked out of the doors, me closely behind. Once we were out of sight from everyone I started running at him yelling, "JONAH MARAIS!". He slowly turned around and when he was now facing me, I tackled him to the ground.

Jo: "Yo what was that for?!", he yelled.

I looked him in the eyes. His blue and green eyes. They were so beautiful. I shook my head realizing the position were in, me on top of him with his hands on my waist. I quickly got up and offered my hand to him. He took it and got up.

Jo: "So are you gonna tell me why you just freaking tackled me?"
Y: "Are you gonna tell me why you've been avoiding me for weeks now?"
Jo: "I have my reasons"
Y: "And I have mine", I said with a half smile.

He looked around and grabbed my hand.

Y: "Where are we going?"
Jo: "Do you trust me?"

I didn't answer, I just nodded.

We walked for about 15 minutes in complete silence. You could really sense the tension. We finally made it to our destination. It was the park he took me to with the lake. I remember that night. He saw me at my all time low- and now I'm seeing him at his all time low.

We sat down on the grass at the edge of the lake. I looked at him while he looked onto the lake.

Jo: "I haven't been avoiding you because I hate you. It's actually the complete opposite", I looked at him confused.
Y: "Then why have you been avoiding me?"
Jo: "Because I like you. Like I really like you, more than a friend". I looked at him shocked. "And seeing you being with Daniel, it hurts."
Y: "Jonah I-I don't know what to say. I mean obviously I like you and care about you but just as a friend"

It hurt to say that out loud. It hurt because it was a lie. I liked Jonah in more than a friend way but I'm with Daniel. So I have to push those feelings away. When I said that I saw the hurt in his eyes. I felt guilty. I felt guilty because I was the reason why he was so upset and I just hurt him even more.

Y: "I'm sorry Jonah". I went to hug him but he just scooted away from me. I deserve it.
Jo: "I gotta go. Have a great night". And just like that, I lost a great person in my life.

Tears slowly start to fall down my cheeks. I got up and started walking home. While walking I was still crying. I felt so bad for what I did. I finally got home and I didn't see my dad's or Myta's cars in the driveway. I opened the door and walked.

Z: "Hey y/n. What's up?", he asked while I closed the door.

I turn around to face him. My eyes red and puffy, filled with tears. He runs up to me and hugs me.

Z: "Hey it's okay. It's gonna be alright-"
Y: "No it's not! I lost him", I yelled while sobbing into his shoulder.
Z: "Who'd you lose?", I look up at him.
Y: "I lost Jonah. He's not my friend anymore". He hugged me tighter.

A couple minutes later I pulled out of the hug. I went upstairs to my room. When I finally got to my room I shut the door and layed on my bed and continued to cry.

I wasn't just crying because I had just lost a great friend, I was also crying because I lied to him.

It was the next day. I made sure to wake up a little earlier so I could leave before anyone was awake. Once I finished getting ready I left for school. I left all by myself because I just wanted to be alone. I started walking by a coffee shop and decided to go in last minute.

Cashier: "Hi welcome! What can I get for you?". I look at all the pastries and sweets.
Y: "I'll take a cake pop", I said with excitement.

I gave the cashier my money and took my cake pop and continued my walk to school.

I eventually make it to the miserable little place and went to my locker. Not many people were there since I was an hour early. I closed my locker and someone was standing right behind it giving me a mini heart attack.

It was Daniel.

I grabbed onto my heart and started to catch my breath.

D: "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. Bagel?", he asked while holding up a bagel.
Y: "You know you shouldn't sneak up on people", I said still catching my breath while reaching for the bagel.
D: "So what are you doing at school so early?"
Y: "I could ask you the same thing Mr. Seavey", I said before taking another bite of the bagel.

He gave me a smile. His smile was so adorable and angelic. When he smiled his blue eyes lit up. I'm falling more in love with this kid more and more

Wait. Did I just say- love? Am I in love with Daniel Seavey?

I heard a loud thud which quickly snapped me out of my thoughts. What I saw was something terrifying. It was Jonah. No Jonah wasn't the something terrifying, it was what he was doing. He began punching a guy in the face and pushed him against the lockers. A crowd was forming. I ran straight to the two masculine guys fighting. I push my way through the crowd and finally make it to where Jonah and the guy were.

Y: "Jonah!", I start to yell out but he doesn't hear me. I go up closer and pull on his shoulder. As he turns around he punches me in the face. I instantly fell to the ground grabbing onto my nose.

D: "Dude what the hell man!", Daniel said while pushing Jonah away from me.
Jo: "Y/n, I'm so sorry".

I slowly began sitting up and Daniel quickly sat down next to me putting his arms around me while I'm still holding onto my nose. I look down at my hand and see blood. I go to touch my nose again and see more blood.

Jo: "I'm so sorry y/n", he starts coming closer to me but I flinch back. He looks at me concerned.

Daniel started helping me up slowly. Once I gained my balance and I look at Jonah, still holding my nose.

Did I deserve this? Of course I deserved this I hurt him. This is my karma. I thought.

He sticks his hand out to put it on my shoulder but before he could I back away.

Y: "Jonah, don't- don't touch me", I said with a stern voice. I threw the cake pop at him, which he caught, "here I bought this for you", I said with hurt in my voice and walked out of the building.

As I was walking out of the school I had tears running down my face. I ran into someone, more like multiple people and I looked up to see Corbyn, Jack, and Zach looking at me with concerned faces.

Z: "Y/n what happened?", he asked while putting his hands on each of my cheeks. I shook my head and walked out.

Hey guys sorry I took so long to put this chapter out. It honestly took me forever to write, even though it's kind of short. I just didn't know where I was going with this story, still really don't know. Hopefully it won't take me as long to write the next chapter. But hope the wait was worth it and let me know if you're enjoying my story. You can even give me some feedback or even ideas for this story as well. And thank you so much for reading.
