I Will Wait [Jessie J]

Chapter 45 - McDonalds

*Emma’s pov*

Considering it was only half past six it was quite warm outside so I risked it and briskly walked across to the familiar building. The recognisable smell of McDonald’s filled my nostrils as the door swung shut behind me. The restaurant was empty apart from the staff that work there.

“Hey Em! I was wondering when we’d be seeing you again.” Ebony smiled at me. Yes we are that regular here. However this isn’t how Ebony and I met… But the rest of the workers here know me and my family.

“Ebony! It’s great to see you!” I smiled and gave her a hug.

“What’s happening here?” Jess asked in that gorgeous Essex accent that warmed me up.

“Oh my God! Em do you know who that is?” I chuckled

“Do you not remember how we met?” I asked.

“Of course! We were on twitter giving some hater a taste of his own medicine. But why is she here?”

“And then it turns out you work here. I’ve missed you Eb. And did I forget to mention that I’m going to Yorkshire with Jess?”

“You what?” She asked.

“You heard her.” Jess jumped in.

“Hi…”

“Awwwww! Ebony’s gone all shy!” I teased.

“Well it’s not that often that you get to serve mamma heartbeat is it? We all thought that something bad had happened Jess. With that Instagram pic last night! You are single aren’t you?” Jess laughed.

“Yeah and I have been for a while…” Jess looked away

“What can I get you guys then?” Ebony asked.

“I’ll have a bacon and egg mcmuffin. Jess?” I turned around and Jess was gone. She had just disappeared.

*Jessie’s pov*

I had to get out of there. I knew if I told people about Alisha they’d all think that I was a slag. The way I used Alisha I feel one. I made my way to the ladies without anyone noticing. My life is such a fuck up. I don’t get how Emma feels the need to be around me all the time. I’m glad she does though because I feel exactly the same. I’ve fallen in love with a fourteen year old and I can’t do anything about it. I’m going to find a way that Emma can come to LA and Australia with me. I understand that I’m going to have to leave her when I go on the Nice To Meet You Tour. Oh yeah… They’ve changed the name of my tour… It’s now called the Alive tour. Which kind of makes more sense as the album is called Alive, not that anyone knows yet. I said it has an ‘O’ in it.. That was my idea though. I want to keep it a secret as long as possible. All the mystery in this industry has disappeared thanks to social media. No one has leaked anything yet. But that is a big yet.

I looked in the mirror to see all my mascara smeared down my face. It didn’t look attractive. I wiped it all off and reapplied my make up. My eyes still looked bloodshot and puffy but It’s going to have to do. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and thought of the future. My future wife, my future kids, my career. I put on a smile and walked back out to face the music. “Are you okay?” Ebony asked after giving Emma her phone back.

“Yeah of course. I just needed a pee.” I lied. I could feel Emma’s eyes burning into me. probably analyzing the state I’m in right now. I don’t blame her to be honest, I look like shit. I couldn’t look at Emma so instead I let my eyes wander over to the menu. “Can I have pancakes and syrup please?” I asked, I do love my pancakes.

“Of course! If you’d like to sit down, I’ll bring your order around in a few minutes.” Ebony replied with a smile.

Emma led us to the high table and sat on the end so I sat opposite her.  “About LA-”
