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

Chapter 22

Jonah's POV...

"And you told me you're in love with me", she whispered.

I gave a little smile because I wasn't 100% sure if she heard me.

"I'm- I'm so sorry", she says while crying.

I hug her and I place her head on my chest and I begin stroking her hair.

"Shh, it's okay. You're gonna be okay", I said to her.

Once were all sure that she's back to her normal self we untie her.

*************************************

Your POV...

"Y/n?", Zach comes closer to me.

"Yeah?", I say looking at the ground.

"What did you mean when you said I didn't know you?"

I froze. I wasn't ready to explain. So what's the next best thing of telling the truth? Lying.

"Um, I said that? I don't remember much since someone decided to stick a needle in my arm", I say facing Daniel.

He looked guilty. He shouldn't I should.

"Y/n can we talk? Alone?", Daniel asks.

I took in a deep breath and exhaled then nodded my head. We walk away from the guys and go into a corner of the warehouse.

"What do you want to talk about?", I ask.

"You know I love you right?"

"Of course!"

"You know I'd do anything for you? You're my everything y/n. I love you so much but..."

"But?"

"What I need to know is that you love me how I love you. You do love me right?"

All of a sudden it was too hard to say 'I love you' to him. Why can't I say it back? I used to be able to say it with no problem.

"Daniel, I-I can't", I said with a tear running down my face.

"You don't love me?"

"Of course I do!"

"Then why can't you say it to my face?"

I look down, "I don't know"

He nods and walks away, "Daniel", I start to say but he kept walking.

I hide behind some boxes so the guys wouldn't see me crying.

I felt so terrible for not being able to say it back. I know I love Daniel, but it's not the way that he loves me.

I bury my head into my knees and cry. I was so focused on my crying that I didn't even here someone sit next to me.

They wrapped their arms around me. I looked up to see who it was. It was Jack.

"I'm sorry, you know about flipping you over", I say with a little chuckle and wiping my tears away.

"Oh don't worry it didn't hurt", we both looked at each for a few seconds and start laughing, "Okay maybe it did a little"

I put my head on his shoulder.

"You wanna know why I stayed with Blake?", he nods, "I didn't want to die and time was ticking. So I made a deal with him. I said "if they don't come with whatever it is that you want then you could keep me instead of killing me or any of you". He obviously agreed to the deal but there was a catch. If I or you guys or anyone would do anything to get me away from him he would kill the one person I love the most"

"Your dad", he whispered.

I nod, "Yeah. So I pretended to not care about you guys and turn off my feelings. At first it didn't really work until I just kept pretending until now. Deep, deep, deep down I still cared, I will always care. I just couldn't see any of the people that I love and care about get hurt. And I'm sorry", I finish.

I was so into the story that when I looked up I saw all the guys standing there.

I wipe away all my tears, "I should get back to him"

"You aren't serious are you?", Jonah asks.

I don't look at him. I couldn't, it was different now. I looked at Daniel but he couldn't even look at me and I looked down.

"I have to"

"No you don't y/n", Zach says, "Because we have this", he holds a flash drive up.

That most of been what Blake wants.

"We stole it from him awhile back", Corbyn says.

"And you're just going to give it away?", I ask.

"Well not quite. You see we made an extra copy", Corbyn says while holding another flash drive.

"This is where it ends", Zach says.

"So what's the plan?", I ask.

*************************************

Jonah's POV...

"Got the plan?", I ask everyone. They all nod, "Good".

Everyone disperses except for Daniel.

"Can we talk?", he asked me.

"Sure"

"I broke up with y/n", he said bluntly looking down.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Aren't you in love with her? Don't you want her?"

"Of course I do. But if she doesn't see me that way it's fine. I just want her to be happy. She loves you Daniel. It'll always be you"

"She doesn't"

"What?"

"She doesn't love me. Not how I love her. She couldn't even say it to my face Jonah. Maybe it's for the better. But if she finds someone who makes her happy and it happens to be you, I'll be happy for you guys", he says and then walks away.

They broke up. She has to be hurting.

I was so shocked when Daniel told me they broke up. They're perfect for each other. I don't deserve her. I'll only hurt her.
