Mistreated | Donah Meavey

Daniel's pov

I was laying on the bed watching the ceiling. In my mind I was replaying the things from yesterday night. Suddenly I heard that somebody opened the door so I looked there and there was Ben standing in front of me with anger in his eyes.

"No! Get away from me! Please!...Jonah!" I was panicking and screaming as loud as I could.

"You can't hide from me?!" he yelled at me and ran to me, ready to punch me in the face.

And then I woke up. I was shaking and tears were scrolling down on my cheeks. Then Jonah ran into the room.

"Daniel.." he ran to me and sat down on the bed then hugged me tightly. "It's okay...I'm here. It was just a dream." he was trying to calm me down while rubbing my back.

"Ugh...I think you should know that...I have these nightmares quite often." I said when I was able to talk again. He was surprised by my answer.

"Like...how often?" he asked me.

"Almost every time I fall asleep." I answered.

"I can't really help with that...but just try to block out the negative things and focus on the good things. Maybe at this point it seems to be the hardest thing ever. But I am here for you, like I said...I'm gonna help you with everything you need and I would do anything for you, honestly, just to see you smile again." I was speechless. He's the sweetest, most amazing and most adorable person I have ever known. I'm honestly so lucky to have a best friend like him.
All I could do is just hug him.

"Thank you, Jonah." I whispered in his ear.

"Don't need to thank me....I...love you." he never said this before. Oh my god. These words are causing me goosebumps. I know it's kind of weird that we are best friends and never said that to each other. But it wasn't a necessary. We just knew it. And now that I heard it out loud, it was so special. I know this sounds so stupid but it's special to me.

"I love you too." Oh yeah I said that. It felt so...interesting. I really love him. A lot. But I think he doesn't like me that way. That would be a dream come true I swear. Keep dreaming Seavey.

I was kind of afraid to say those words but I went for it.

"Don't need to thank me....I...love you."
Okay it wasn't that hard but I was a little bit nervous about the answer cause I have never told it to him.
But when he told me that he loves me too it was an amazing feeling. Even if it was just in a best friend way. I don't know how to tell him about my feelings towards him. And either I don't know if it would be a good idea. Ugh...love is confusing.

After a while we pulled away from each other. Unfortunately.

"I'm gonna cook something for lunch. What would you like to eat?" I asked him.

"Thank you...but I'm not hungry." he said looking at his fingers crossed in his lap. I could tell he was lying.

"I know that's not true. When have you eaten last time?"

"I...can't remember." he answered quietly. This shocked me.

I let out a sigh and stand up from the bed.

"I'm gonna be right back, okay?" he just nodded and I left his room.

After some time he came back with the biggest tray full of food.

"Where did you got all these?" I was surprised. He put the tray on the bed in front of me.

"I grabbed everything I saw." this made me smile. Wow, after a really long time I was smiling again. Even if my whole body was still in pain. But I felt a little bit better.

"Aww you're so cute." he said. Wait...what did he just told me? Am I dreaming or...what in the world is happening right now?

Jonah got nervous about it and started to shutter.

"I...I mean uhh....uhhh" he was so adorable that I started to laugh and after a few seconds he joined me.

I don't know how I was able to just laugh and forget about everything. I guess Jonah is for real my cure. I think....maybe I'm gonna tell him about my feeli-...no, I can't. He doesn't like me like that..or? I mean his weird looks and those kind of kisses...is this whole thing just about helping me or is there something....more? Ugh...love is confusing.

"Thanks for the compliment, cutie." maybe he's just trying to make me feel better. So he's just playing with me. I guess. So I'm gonna join.

But after I said this he got even more nervous and started to blush. Oh my god. Does it mean that he really....meant it?

"I-I think... I'm gonna go now...uhh enjoy your meal." he said quickly and he was about to leave but I grabbed his arm. I don't know why I did that. But I definitely don't wanted him to go.

"Please don't leave."

Jonah's pov

Oh god. I was so embarrassed. I looked into his beautiful eyes and I just couldn't take it. I wanted to kiss him but instead of that, I ran out of the room like an idiot. I would rather tell him how I feel but I'm sure he would reject me. That would hurt so bad.
