Last Hope || Jacob Whitesides

Chapter 16

**Emilys POV**

I grabbed Jacobs hand and pulled him to the couch.

My hand was so small in his. But at the same time they fit perfectly.

It was like our hands were made for each other.

We sat on the lounge and I asked him what was wrong. Since the whole reason he was here was because he was sad.

But he was reluctant to answer since Hayes was sitting across from him watching him.

"Hayes could you please give us some privacy?" I asked in a very nonchalant way.

Hayes thankfully didn't argue and just got up and left.

I asked Jacob what was wrong again since he didn't answer the first time. But once again he avoided the question.

He looked all around the room. I saw the curiosity In his eyes.

I wanted him to kiss me so badly. Something was telling me that now was the right time.

It was like there was a burning desire in me to taste his lips.

Jacob lifted his hand and placed it on my cheek.

I bit my lip, he made me so nervous...

I went to say something to him but before I could finish my sentence Jacob leaned in.

He kissed me slowly and affectionately.

I felt the excitement rise up inside myself.

It was finally happening...

As his lips pressed against mine it was like all of our problems had vanished.

His lips were so soft and warm in the frosty air.

I felt my checks redden, I was blushing like crazy.

I could hear the sounds of our hearts beating together, as one.

His touch sent chills down my body.

Now we both knew how we really felt about each other.

I could feel the passion radiating around the room. It was like nothing I had ever experienced.

We were both so consumed by each other that we didn't hear the front door opening.

"Hello? I'm home" a chirpy voice shouted through the halls.

Shit I thought to myself.

Jacob and I unwillingly stopped kissing.

We both knew who it was.

Astonishingly at that moment, Nash of all people ran into the lounge room.

"Quick he's got to leave before mum sees him" he demandingly whispered.

I looked around in panic. I didn't know where to sneak Jacob out.

I don't want to get caught. Id be in so much trouble. Especially since my parents forbid me from seeing Jacob.

But at the same time, I probably wouldn't care if we got caught...

I mean, this was the best night of my life.

Jacob and I both like each other, and when he was kissing me, it felt so right, it felt like we were the only people in the world.

"Dont worry I got this, follow me Jacob" Nash said giving me a reassuring smile.

He was trying to avoid making eye contact with Jacob for some reason. Weird.

I could sense a vibe that Nash doesn't really like Jacob...

Nash and Jacob quickly tiptoed out of the lounge room. I dont know where they went but they better be sneaky.

Elizabeth walked Into the room a few seconds later.

"Hey Em how was things?" She curiously interrogated me.

I told her our night was good. Me and the guys just sat and watched movies and talked.

Even though that was a lie...

Hayes walked down stairs in the middle of our conversation.

"Hey where's Jac-" he stopped mid sentence realising that his mother was in the room.

He looked at her shocked.

"Where's who?" Elizabeth demanded.

"You didn't have someone over did you?" She looked at me accusingly.

I've never seen her look so disappointed in me.

She made me confess to her who was here and she was furious.

I pleaded with her not to tell my mother.

If my parents knew I would probably never be allowed out of the house again.

I mean they hate Jacob for some reason...

I was walking out the front door, nearly in tears because I betrayed Elizabeths trust, when Nash ran down stairs to say goodbye.

"Hey thanks for sneaking Jacob out even though Hayes accidentally told on us anyway" I smiled. I was generally really thankful for that gesture. I didn't even know Nash did things for other people.

"It's okay" he bluntly replied.

He was fiddling with a thread hanging from his shirt. He was nervous? Maybe he wanted to say something.

"Ok... Well cya later" I said awkwardly turning the handle on the front door.

"Wait!" He exclaimed.

"Why do you like Jacob anyway?... I mean there's better suited people for you..." He insisted.

"I don't know, he makes me feel so special, I just love being with him." I defended.

"He doesn't deserve you..." Nash rebottled.

"Whatever Nash..." I said storming out the front door.

As I walked out the front door he looked desperate...

But I didn't deserve this from him.

Who did he think he was?

He hasn't talked to me in years and now he thinks he can tell me who's not good enough to date me?

"Wait Em I need to tell you something" Nash pleaded.

But It was too late. I was already out of hearing range.

What a eventful night I thought to myself...

I sighed and tried to clear my mind.
