Last Hope || Jacob Whitesides

Chapter 12

**Emily's POV**

Filled with longing i turned to my mum.

"What the hell mum!?" I exclaimed towards my mum, feeling embarrassed by the way she treated Jacob.

"I don't want you seeing that boy anymore ok!" My mum retorted.

"Are you kidding? You don't even know him! You can't tell me who I can see and who I can't see!" I screamed. I felt like i had no control.

How could my mum do this?

She doesn't even know him!

Why would she say this?

She's always been over- supportive of my decisions.

"Yes I can. I'm your mother i can tell you what I want. Now go get yourself cleaned up your baby sitting at the Grier's tonight."my mum stated.

She didn't even look sorry.

I looked at her in disbelief, but she just turned away.

I ran upstairs to my room and slammed the door, childish i know.

I felt tears running down my face. They burned as they formed in my eyes.

Come on Emily,  pull yourself together, i mentally slapped myself.

I walked down the hall to the bathroom and looked in the mirror.

All my makeup was ruined, my face was red and puffy showing distinct signs of tears.

I have to clean myself up I told myself.

I can't go to the Grier household looking like this!

What if Nash was there?

Nash was around 17, my age.

I used to have a massive crush on him when I was 12, but he's always been more popular than me so that never worked out. i'm still conscious of my appearance around him though.

I babysit his sister Skylnn and his brother Hayes regularly.

Even though Hayes is only 16, he's one of my closest friends so as long as he's there i'll feel better.

"Emily" I heard my dad shout from the bottom of the stairs.

"I'm driving you to the Grier's house, we need to leave now" He shouted so i'd hear.

I walked down the stairs after putting on the finishing touches to my makeup I had to redo.

I hope Nash isn't there tonight. I can guarantee he'd put me in a worse mood.

I sighed and walked out the front door.

**Jacobs POV**

I walked out of Emily's house feeling upset.

Obviously her mum doesn't like me.

But i dont know why.

Was it because we were in her house alone together?

We didn't do anything though but I guess she doesn't know that.

I hope Emily wasn't fighting with her mother over this. I'm not worth it.

She's probably not allowed to see me anymore.

I guess that's a good thing? She deserves better than me.

I got to the corner of Emily's street and checked my pocket to see if I had money for the bus.

Of course I didn't.

It would take probably over a hour to walk home because there's no short way to get to the other side of town.

There's only one way, and that's the long way.

It would probably start to get dark whilst walking home so I figured it would be better to just call my mum.

"Hello mum?" I talked into my phone.

"Yes honey. Where are you? It's getting late." She told me clearly stating the obvious.

"I'm on the other side of town... Can, can you come pick me up?"

"I was just starting to cook dinner but I guess I have no choice. Where should I pick you up?" She sighed.

I told her where I would meet her and stumbled to where I told her.

I got my phone out and saw I had a text from Emily.

*From Emily*

"Jacob I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over my mum... She's not usually like this I feel so bad for the way she treated you."

I smiled. She was so caring.

No wonder I'm falling for her.

*To Emily*

"That's okay(: I'm sure she's was just intimidated by my incredibly good looks ;)" I replied to lighten the mood a little.

I sat by the side of the road thinking about what it would be like if i can't ever see Emily again.

I couldn't bare the thought of that.

My thoughts were interrupted when I car pulled up next to me. I looked up and saw it was my mum.

She looked annoyed...

I guess I would be too if I had to drive all the way to the other side of town to pick up your child.

"Jacob what are you doing all the way on this side of the town?" My mum questioned.

"I was just hanging out with my friend Emily" I shrugged and stepped into the car.

"Oh... Emily who?..." My mum asked as if she doesn't approve.

"Umm I think her last name is Moore" I smiled.

"Hmmm" my mum sighed and didn't talk to me for the rest of the ride home.

She seemed disappointed.

What a shitty ending to a amazing day.
