The End Of Us // Jacob Sartorious

Coming Home

As I tie my shoes, my phone dings receiving a message from Emma. 

{Emma} You'll never believe this! *screenshot*

I click on the image, reading what it says. 

Jacob Sartorious: Can't wait to go home! Can't wait for my friends to meet Maya! See you soon!

Holy shit. He's coming home.  

I feel my breath get caught in the back of my throat. I thought he still had a few more weeks of tour. If he's coming home then that means he's coming back to school. I am so not ready. 

I quickly run downstairs to retrieve my bag before running out the door. As I make it to the curb Emmet pulls up and I jump in the passenger seat. I pull my phone out of my pocket to respond to Emma's text. 

"Not even a "Hey thank you so much you handsome beast for getting up and taking me to school every morning i love you so much emmet"." he mimics a girly voice. I roll my eyes and set my phone in my lap. 

"Emmet you know how grateful I am for you taking me to school everyday. I'm sorry." I sigh. He pulls away from the curb and continues down the street. 

"Wanna tell me what's going on?" He glances between me and the street.

"Jacob comes back home today, which means he's coming back to school." I say, resting my head against the window. 

"I'm gonna kick his ass," He says under his breath. 

"Don't. Just leave it," I shake my head. 

"Why not?" He almost laughs. 

"Because he's over us so I have to get over us. Besides I have Brandon so I don't even care about it." I know Emmet thinks I'm lying. I think I'm lying, I mean Jacob was the first person I had ever loved so of course he's always going to be in my heart, but I know a little piece of me does care that he is coming back because it'll be awkward. 

"Save that bullshit for someone who's buying please," He pulls into the school parking lot. 

I lean over and kiss him the cheek, thanking him before grabbing my bag and phone and getting out. He waves as he pulls away. 

I quickly catch up with Emma. She hugs me. We walk to our lockers and place our bags inside. 

The first bell rings in which we take off to our first period class. Emma and I take our assigned seats as the morning announcements come on over the intercom. Emma tries to converse with me in which I pay no attention to, I'm staring off at the board. 

The class soon begins and I pull out my headphones to listen to music. I jot down the notes, trying to keep up with the teacher. 

"Welcome, Mr. Sartorious," I hear the teacher and I immediately lift my head. There he is. He stands with a bag clung to his back and smile. The other girls begin twirling their hair and batting their eye lashes. 

It makes me happy because all I had to do was be an asshole to get with him. 

"For now I will have you sit next to Shelby," Shelby raises her hand with a smirk plastered on her face as she looks at me. I roll my eyes and turn to Emma. 

"You okay?" She mouthes. I nod my head and look back down at my notes. But I'm not okay. I thought I would be but I'm not. This would be harder then I had thought. 

Throughout the class period I feel his stare burning holes through the side of my head, it's driving me insane. The bell rings and I quickly close my notebook and race out the door to my locker. I throw my stuff inside as I try to breath. In my defense, I got out of that classroom fast.
