Our Love-Mark Thomas Fan Fiction

Chapter 44

EMMA'S POV
Mark kept on calling me and texting me. I read the messages but I didn't reply. I don't want Jacob to be sent away. And the only thing that will help him is if I take the blame for it all. I don't want to take the blame but if it'll help my best friend, I'll do it. So I called Jacob's mom.
Jacob's mom: H-hello Emma.
Me: Hey...I have something to confess.
Jacob's mom: Y-yes, of course...
She was still sobbing away, I could tell.
Me: I-I have some news on the accident that happened to Aimee...
She kept quiet. All I could hear was her breathing and crying.
Me: I...I...I cut Aimee by accident. It wasn't Jacob. He was just trying to protect me. Jacob didn't do anything.
Jacob's mom: W-what...?!
Me: Yes...I cut her by accident. Jacob had nothing to do with it.
Jacob's mom: It was you...all along? And you never said anything?!
Me: I know...and I'm sorry! I never meant to hurt anyone!
Jacob's mom: You hurt my niece! You hurt my niece...my niece. What if she dies?! Then you'll be sorry!
Me: She won't die! I'm really sorry! It was an accident!
Jacob's mom: I thought you were much, much different. I never thought you could be capable of this, Emma...I have to tell your mother and father about this!
And then she hung up. What have I done? I'm protecting Jacob. I'm helping Jacob. Duncan came barging into my room. "Emma! Mom's going mad downstairs!" Duncan exclaimed. "Here we go...word spreads quickly, doesn't it?" I asked myself. "What?" Duncan asked. "Never mind. I guess I'll go down and talk to mom then." I said. "I think you should. She's pacing up and down the-" Duncan was saying until mom yelled, "Emma! Get down here at once!!!" Me and Duncan looked at each other, rolled our eyes at eachother and I went downstairs. Time to face the music...
