Last Hope || Jacob Whitesides

Chapter four

**Jacobs POV**

I've been at this party for a hour now, and as expected it's extremely underwhelming. The only thing on my mind was that girl I saw on the way in. What was her name? Would I see her again? I mentally slapped myself for thinking she'd notice me.

I glanced up and saw my mum frowning at a woman on the other side of the room. She looked familiar? My mum looked like she absolutely despised her, weird my mum is the kind of person who loves everyone.

I was sick of sitting at this table by myself so I decided to go for a walk out in the back garden.

The garden was amazing, there was fairy lights strung everywhere and a big water fountain in the middle. Nobody was out here so I started just waking around observing my surroundings. It was so peaceful. I strolled closer to the fountain and observed the silhouette of someone sitting there.

The shape appeared to be a girl. Annoyingly straight away i hoped it was the girl from earlier. She was sitting alone so I thought maybe I should be polite and say hi.

I proceeded towards the fountain and awkwardly sat down by the figure. When I sat down and saw who I was staring at I was relieved, it was the same girl I saw earlier,  the girl that had been on my mind since i first arrived here. And we were completely alone...

**Emily's POV**

I was sitting alone outside contemplating about how boring this summer would be and feeling sorry for myself when I was startled out of my thoughts when i realised someone was approaching me.

I probably seemed a little to excited when I saw who it was. It was the boy that was looking at me earlier in the day. I felt butterflies in my stomach.  He smiled, and it was adorable my i add, he then introduced himself, "hey I'm Jacob"

There was something so instantly inthralling about him. Something about his smile and the way he held himself made me want to know more. What was wrong with me?

Was a falling for a guy I had never even spoken to before?

"Hey nice to meet you Jacob, umm I'm Emily" I added,stumbling on my words. I was blushing. Why was a blushing?

I felt like I knew Jacob but I obviously didn't? He smiled when I told him my name like he has been waiting to find out my name all day. Has he? Don't be stupid, he wouldn't waste his time thinking about me.

There was a a long awkward silence between us, he seemed inclined to say something but he wouldn't. I didn't know what to say I was to awestruck by how handsome he was.

He finally spoke.
