Last Hope || Jacob Whitesides

Chapter 28

*Nash's POV*

I couldn't help but yell out at them. 

 Seeing them there kissing, I felt sick.

"WHAT THE HELL?" i made sure my presence was known.

My own brother, (emphasis on the fact he's my brother!) kissing the only girl I've ever loved.

And like she's any better. She let him do it. 

My thoughts were like poison in my head.

Who knows how long they were kissing before i walked in!

So was that whole Jacob thing just an attempt at an excuse? Is she actually single? Well I hope so if she's sitting there kissing my brother.

My skin is burning with fury, the taste of betrayal fills my mouth with distain.

I didn't even realise she'd run off until I heard the front door slam, shocking me back into reality.

Hmm, yeah cool you slam the door Emily, like you have a right to, it's MY feeling you hurt!

I glared at Hayes whom was obviously trying to avoid meeting my gaze.

"How could you do this to me" I asked, my voice low and trembling. I turned away, unable to look at him.

"Yeah well not everything is always about you Nash" Hayes replied, storming off to his room.

Cool. Great. And to think I thought there was a chance Emily would one day love me like I love her...

*Emily's POV*

Not bothering to ring Amy or anyone else to pick me up, I ignored my surroundings, running home as fast as I could.

 Tears poured down my face, they burned my eyes, reminding me of how much I messed up.

My skin felt as cold as ice. There was a knot in my stomach, growing tighter as each miserable moment passed. I felt like i was going to be sick. 

I know for a fact I don't like Hayes! How did I let that happen?

Now our friendships probably ruined forever, not to mention it's obvious Nash most likely hates me now...

What and how am I going to tell Jacob...?

"Oh hey Jacob my guy friend Hayes, you remember Hayes right? Yeah well he kissed me" i thought.

Everything's ruined. Honestly how will Jacob trust me anymore? I didn't want to kiss Hayes. I can't even recall ever leading him on...

I think maybe I like Jacob a little more then I'm ready to admit... But that probably doesn't even matter anymore.

I took a deep breath. It's fine. Just relax Emily, hopefully Jacob feels the same way. 

Hayes initiated that kiss with me, thats all i have to explain to him. 

Even after what just happened Jacob was the only thing i could actually think about..

"I  love him" I mumbled under my breath, unable to comprehend that i just admitted that. 

Yeah i love Jacob, and thats all that matters. Not my parents, not Nash and definitely not Hayes.

Theres only Jacob.
