On The Run

On The Run: Chapter 15

'NATALIE!' Emma shouted once she got out of the car, I smiled and she ran up to me hugging me tightly.

'I missed you so bloody much! I'm so glad you're okay and now we're gonna be together more.' Oh, yay.

'Yay.' I said bluntly and she laughed.

'You sound excited!' She said sarcastically and stepped inside, I looked at mum once she got out of the car and she smiled at me. I shook my head and went inside bringing some of Emma's bags with me. She followed me upstairs to my room and Jamal looked up from my laptop. I dumped Emma's bags on the floor and she looked at Jamal and then looked away. He screwed slightly and went back to the laptop.

'So Emma, this is my boyfriend Jamal and Jamal this is my good friend Emma.' Jamal didn't even respond or look away from the laptop screen and Emma stood there twirling her hair and looking at my pictures around my room.

'Okay... sooo, who wants to help me cook dinner?' I asked and Emma ran out of the room, Jamal shook his head and I laughed.

'How about you help me?' I asked him and he shrugged.

'Ask your best friend.'

'Why are you being like this?'

'Like what? I'm just making the most of sitting on your bed whilst I can.' He said and I rolled my eyes. I went downstairs where Emma was sitting on the sofa talking to Dylan. I sat down next to Dylan and laughed once I saw his chin.

'Shut up Natalie.'

'That's too hilarious, Emma he tried shaving, I think it was for Star.' He blushed and we both laughed at him.

'She won't ever notice you Dylan, get over it.' I said and he hit me on my arm before storming out of the room. Emma shook her head at me.

'You're a mean sister.' I shrugged and laughed.

'So Jamal seems very friendly.' Emma said and looked at me.

'Mmm... well he's just a bit, weird.'

'You can say that again, he's bloody rude. You don't have to be so rude when you first meet someone I mean he barely looked at me.'

'That's Jamal for you.'

'And that's someone you wanted to have a baby with? I'm so glad that...' She stopped talking and I looked at her screwing slightly.

'No say it.'

'Really, it doesn't matter. I'm hungry, what we having?'

'Say whatever you were going to say Emma!' She sighed and looked at me.

'I'm so glad that you didn't have the baby.'

'THE BABY DIED!' I shouted and she jumped slightly.

'I know, I know... I'm sorry to hear that I really am-'

'NO YOU'RE NOT! YOU'RE GLAD!' Just then mum walked in the room and looked back and forth between us both.

'What's with all the shouting?'

'You were up to something! I should of listened to them!' I said to mum and she asked Emma to leave the room. She closed the living room door and glared at me.

'Listened to who Natalie?!'

'My friends, they warned me. You're always up to something, you're pathetic! Trying to ruin my relationship!'

'It is not what it sounds like!'

'Yes it is! I can't believe you would stoop so low to ruin your daughters relationship, I'm happy with him mum!'
