Treehouse // Jonah Marais✔️

Chapter 16

Michelle's Pov

(OOOOOOOOOO Sh*t's 'bouts to go downnnnn - Emma)

I couldn't open my eyes, I couldn't move a single limb. All I could do was listen to everything around me. I heard two voices...

(I can't feel my face when I'm with you.. - Emma)

My mother and father.

"I don't think we should pass our company to hers. It may be better if we give it to Elise instead." I mentally smiled to that. I knew she would be better owning the company than me. She always wanted to.

"That's a great idea, but what should we do for her? She's practically hopeless and has little to no talent," my mother argued. Rude...But it was true. All I did was get good grades in school and hang out in the treehouse...

(Mutters - B*tch - Emma)

"Michelle?" I looked to the direction to see Jonah walk up to me. He was about my height, even though we were two years apart. His hair was long and he had his baseball uniform on.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" I pondered for a moment. I do love writing stories and playing in the treehouse Daddy (A/n- I swear if you're a pervert...) recently built, but what do I want to do when I grow up?

(HAHAHAHAHA I am megan DAAADDDYYY - Emma)

I know what.

"I wanna be an author when I grow up!" I exclaimed, "What do you want to be?"

"I want to be a singer," he stated, "but everyone would tease me, so I want to be a baseball player instead." Sadness flashed in his eyes from his confession. I didn't see why everyone would tease him for wanting to sing. He loves singing! Especially to me.

"Be a baseball singer! You can be a baseball player, and sing the songs they play at their games!" His eyes lit up to my idea.

(I get she's young and so is he but come on really...*whispers* Be a baseball singer LIVE YOUR DREAM! - Emma)

"Thanks Michelle! That's what I'll do for my presentation!" He turned around and started walking until I grabbed his shirt.

"What's a presentation?" I asked.

"It's when you go up to everyone and show what you drew or worked on! Like a project you have to show to a class," he explained. I nodded before hearing the bell, indicating recess has ended.

...

"Jonah? What's wrong?" I found Jonah inside the treehouse after I did my homework. He was crying his eyes out, and held a crumpled paper in his hand.

"Everyone messed with me saying I can't be a baseball player that sings! Even Ms. Martello said baseball singers don't exist and gave me an F!" I went next to him and hugged him, hoping he'd calm down. He turned to me and cried onto my shoulder. "A-And when I went home mom and dad got mad at me!"

"Then prove them wrong! You'll be the best baseball player out there and also the best singer." He looked up at me with dried tears on his cheeks. I wiped them off and smiled at him.

"You really think that's possible?" I nodded before his eyes glowed with determination.

"I won't let you down captain!" He saluted me before we heard his mom's voice.

"Jonah, dinner is ready!" She looked up in the treehouse to see us looking down at her.

"Okay! Bye Michelle!" He left the tree house with a smile.

"I think it'll be best for her to find that on her own." I smiled at my father's words, letting me be free. I heard a sigh then my parents leaving the room, leaving me in peace once again.

(I gotta go my own way! What about us? What about everything we've been through!? High school musical anyone? No? Okay.. - emma)

What seemed like forever I heard the boys voices. "She isn't awake yet. We can always visit her after rehearsals and the campaign thing we have to do for her parents company," Corbyn explained. The footsteps didn't stop, as if someone was pacing around the room.

"I can't just leave her here! She...She-"

(Speak your damn mind child!! - Emma)

"Jonah..I know she's your best friend, but we can't be with her every minute of the day." I don't know why, but my stomach dropped while I mentally smiled. I'm glad we're best friends, but inside I knew I wanted to be more.

"She's more than that to me," Jonah whispered. Silence filled the room, making the air around us awkard.

"Somebody's in love!" Jack joked, making everyone but me laugh. My eyes and limbs still felt like weights were on them and my mouth was still sewn shut, making it unable to disturb them.

(MEE - Emma)

"Let's leave him alone. Get better soon Michelle. I heard one of the boys put something on the nightstand next to me before leaving. I felt Jonah grab my right hand, squeezing it along the way. I wanted to squeeze back, but I simply didn't have the strength to do so.

"I love you so much...I'm sorry I left you in the dust for a year..And for the past two months. I wanted to come back to Minnesota and engulf you in a hug, but I was too busy with work. I know you're not awake. I know you can't hear me. I just needed to apologize.." I felt him kiss my cheek before leaving.

(Awe that's so sad - Emma)

I'm never washing my face ever again.

(Not anymore - Emma)

(You guys hate me LOL - Emma)
