Last Hope || Jacob Whitesides

Chapter 22

**Emilys POV**

I was sitting in a booth on the far right corner of the diner.

I had been sitting here for about five minutes waiting upon Jacobs arrival.

I was kind of enjoying the time to myself in the corner.

I was just watching everyone. I've always found it fascinating that everyone you ever walk past or see has their own story.

It's amazing how many individuals there are in the world.

My knee was rapidly bouncing up and down in anticipation of seeing Jacob.

I wondered what he'd do when he walked in?

Would he act like were only friends?

Would he hug me? Would he kiss me?...

I was excited to find out.

But I mean we're not a couple so it's not like I should expect anything...

My head shot up when I heard the entrance door swing open.

My heart skipped a beat thinking it would be Jacob.

But it wasn't. My heart fell of disappointment.

The boy who walked in was scanning the room with his eyes until they locked on to mine.

He smiled a accomplished smile.

I gasped out of shock and happiness.

What was he doing here?

He made his way over to my booth and took a seat across from me.

I giggled.

"Hayes what are you doing here isn't it past your bedtime?" I mocked.

He shook is head and smiled a dazzling smile at me.

I'm not gonna lie, he is attractive...

But I stopped myself from that thought when I thought of how young he is.

I wrinkled my nose and shook the thought away.

Hayes was so funny. He always has been.

Whenever Nash or anybody for that matter was rude or annoying, it was Hayes who always made me happy.

"Em..." He said my name softly and seriously.

I looked directly at him.

"What happened between you and Nash?..." He unsurely questioned.

I opened my mouth to say something, but I didn't even know what to say.

But luckily I didn't have too.

I felt eyes on me and looked up.

I was grateful to see who's eyes they were.

Jacobs.
