Last Hope || Jacob Whitesides

Chapter 14

**Emily's POV**

"Emily?" Nash gawked.

He seemed shocked. I was too.

It's been so long since we've talked.

He looked good. Like really good.

I was staring at him and noticed I had butterflies in my stomach.

The kind you get when you like someone.

I hated myself for thinking that.

 I really like Jacob not Nash i told myself.

I guess it's just the shock of seeing Nash after not talking to him for so long. Right?

"Hey Nash" I said with the most convincing smile I could fake. Trying to mask the fact that I was extremely nervous.

"Emily's babysitting again isn't that great" Hayes told Nash trying to make it less awkward.

Hayes had a smirk on his face.He knew I used to have a massive thing for Nash.

He obviously thought this was funny.

It was so not funny.

"Umm yeah, how are you going?" Nash came and sat next to me.

It was pretty awkward. I could tell he felt just as uncomfortable as i did.

I couldn't help but notice how close he sat next to me.

I mean we haven't been this physically close to each other in years. It was weird, but part of me kind of liked it...

Our knees were touching.

I could see him looking at me from the corner of my eye.

He was looking at me like he has never seen me before.

It made me uncomfortable. I felt like he was judging me.

Hayes was looking at Nash and I looking at each other, and he burst out laughing.

We both turned around and looked at him. I started scowling at him, I was embarrassed.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I forgot to reply to Nash's question.

Just as I was about to reply to Nash I got a phone call.

I looked to see who it was, when I saw who was calling me I got the biggest smile on my face.

It was Jacob.

"Oooohhhh is that Jacob?" Hayes mocked.

"Who's Jacob?" Nash quickly accused.

Was that jealousy I heard in his voice? No, what was I thinking? He'd never be jealous.

He'd never be interested in anything in my life anymore.

I laughed at Hayes then told the boys I had to take this call.

I speed walked into the next room and quickly answered the call.

"Emily..." I heard Jacob whisper.

He sounded like he deflated.

"Jacob what's wrong are you ok?" I demanded.

"It's just, it's just everything in my life never works out anymore. I'm losing everything and everyone in my life." He lightly sobbed.

"Hey, hey I'm here and I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon." I insisted.

It was true. I'm not leaving. I really like Jacob.

"Can... Can I see you?..." He nervously asked.

"Right now? I'm baby sitting but maybe I can see you after?" I told him.

I heard whispering coming from the doorway of this room.

I looked to see Hayes and Nash standing in the door listening to my conversation.

They started laughing and my face turned red.

They were ease dropping.

"go away you guys!!" I yelled.

"Why don't you just invite him over here I want to meet him so I can approve." Hayes insisted and smirked.

Nash looked at Hayes in that moment. He gave Hayes a extremely sharp look.

I thought about it. I mean I'm supposed to be baby sitting I shouldn't invite a boy over.

I stopped over thinking it and just did what my heart wanted, which was to see Jacob.

"Jacob why don't you just come here and we can talk alright?" I exclaimed.

I told Jacob the address and be said he would be over soon.

Nash's house wasn't too far from Jacobs, he said he would just walk.

I hung up the phone and softly walked to the door way to listen to what Nash was saying to Hayes.

"Why would you do that!" Nash angrily spoke to hayes.

"Is everything ok?" I questioned.

Nash looked at me then stormed of and retreated to his room. I think he was angry at Hayes for some reason.

But Hayes, Hayes told me he needed to meet Jacob and "approve" of him incase things get serious. So he wasn't leaving.

So we sat, sat and waited for the boy I have a lot of feelings for, the boy who my mother forbid me to see to turn up at my ex-crushes house.

"Are you sure he's coming?" Hayes asked with sympathy.

Just as he asked that the a nock sounded at the door.

Hayes and I looked at each other.

I felt nervous. I really like Jacob and he seemed very distressed on the phone so I was worried about him.

I answered the door and looked at Jacobs face. He gave me a sad smile which made my heart ache.

"Emily I couldn't be more happy to see you" he shrieked.

He was so cute.

The only way I could react to that was by giving him the tightest hug I have ever given anybody.

We stood there embracing each other for about 2 minutes.

"Ah hem" a voice from the stairs interrupted.
