Last Hope || Jacob Whitesides

Chapter 27

*Jacob's POV*

We reluctantly pulled away from each other. Her kiss still lingering on my lips.

The voice responsible for our kiss ending was rapidly getting closer.

Suddenly dark clouds filled the sky, the tree's once swaying with joy now stagger with anger. 

I saw figure approaching from the pathway that just moments before i watched Emily walk down. 

As the person approached and i saw Emily tense. I glanced at her, my brow furrowed with confusion.

Abruptly Emily demanded, "Amy what are you doing here?" she sounded panicked as if this was completely out of the ordinary. Promptly i realised i recognised the name Amy, Emily's best friend. 

However something told me this was not going to be a happy introduction between us.

"Emily you need to come quick, Hayes said he needs you ASAP" Desperately replied Amy.

Emily glanced over at me, her delicate features that were only moments ago enthralled by me, looked as if they didn't want to be here anymore. 

I know her friend needs her but selfishly i couldn't help it, i wanted her to stay. 

"Hey", Emily muttered while stepping closer to me, "i'll call you later?" she suggested, i smiled, it was a sad smile and i could tell she knew that.

"Go ahead Em, i'll see you later" i apprehensively spoke. 

Emily took another step closer to me, biting her lip and smirking at me. My body ached to be close to her again.

"Ah it was um it was nice seeing you" she tilted her head and winked at me before walking up the path.

*Emily's POV*

I felt guilty leaving Jacob so abruptly, not to mention how my heart hurts every time I leave him. But if Hayes contacted Amy in order to get in contact with me, it must be serious. 

I dreaded what Hayes might say the whole car ride to his house. 

I haven't been to the Grier's since i broke Elizabeth's trust that night i invited Jacob over. I hope i don't have to face her...

Amy pulled up into their driveway and reminded me to text her if i needed anything, i unconvincingly nodded.  

I opened the car door and stepped out of the car, by the time i had closed the car door and waved goodbye to Amy, Hayes was standing on the front step gleaming at me. 

Confusion filled me, why did he look so happy? I assumed him calling me here would mean there was an emergency... 

I sceptically joined him on the front step, "so...?" i questioned. "so... i need to talk to you" he exclaimed, mimicking me at the same time. 

I followed him inside where i found out he was home alone, we made our way to the couch. 

"It's Nash" he suddenly stated. "You've broken him, like he's not functioning".

Caught of guard i replied, "excuse me?" i was a little insulted to tell you the truth. 

"You know what i mean Emily, don't play dumb." he retorted, "He's heart broken and now he's acting more selfish than ever".

I felt embarrassed, I obviously want Nash to be happy, i'll just never be happy with him...

"Look i'm sorry but-", "I know you are", Hayes interrupted, "But what i'm trying to say is you don't need him anyway, i mean he doesn't deserve you, he can't treat you... treat you like i can..." 

Hayes stared intensely at me, i didn't know what to say, i was shocked. 

Before i could say anything Hayes put his hand on my thigh, he slowly leaned in and well, he kissed me. 

His lips, unwelcome, but noticeably warm and soft danced on top of mine. 

Instantly, well maybe not so instantly... I pushed him away, glaring at him.

"WHAT THE HELL?" a familiar voice declared from the doorway. 

Straight away i knew who it was, my heart sank. 

It was Nash.
