A/N: I decided to write this after feeling inspired by another Naomily fic – Turning Slowly by Peppersister, this one isn't much like that one apart from it being Naomily based, I hope you enjoy!
I'll be trying to use songs as chapter titles, aiming to use ones that suit the chapter. The story title is from a song by Jennette McCurdy.
Disclaimer: I don't own skins at all and I don't own any songs used as chapter names.
My eyes shot open, I had just been pulled from a peaceful slumber by the sound of my sister screaming, I groaned and turned to face her side of our bedroom. She was shrieking down the phone in excitement, I couldn't help rolling my eyes, she and our group of friends had been trying to form a band and every time they managed to get closer she freaked out. I must admit though, I was glad to see her happy and the look on my twin's face said things were going in the right direction for them.
"Ohmygod finally!" she squealed then looked over at me, "shit, sorry Emz.."
"It's okay Katie, I guess I can handle being woken up at nine. What's happened?" I said, sighing at the thought of missing out on a few more hours of sleep. It was a Saturday morning and we'd been out late the night before but I knew she wouldn't be up either unless it was important.
"One sec," she said to me before turning her attention back to her phone, "sorry Eff, I woke Emily up."
"Well I'm not sure what my mum's gonna say, I still haven't told her.."
"You're right, she can't stop me. I'll see you in a bit, yeah? Laters babes"
I raised an eyebrow and looked at her, amused at the way her voice went all high pitched before she hung up, yet confused as to what Effy had woken her up for.
"What?" she asked, "ohhh right, Effy said Freddie's dad finally caved and said we can use the shed to practice, the boys are clearing it out this afternoon and we're going to make it a bit nicer in there. You coming?"
I shrugged, I loved Katie and I loved our friends but I felt like a spare part in their big plans. I wasn't going to be in the band, I could play guitar but I was nowhere near good enough to be part of a group and play for people. Effy has assured me that when I'm good enough I can join them but I've got nobody to teach me, Effy plays guitar too and she's really good but she's the brains behind this whole thing and I don't want to keep her from making it happen for everyone.
"Earth to Emily, I asked you a question, you coming or not?" Katie huffed, breaking me out of my thoughts. I nodded and grabbed my jeans from the end of my bed, I was well awake now and had no plans for the day, might as well tag along and help move all the crap out of Freddie's shed, at least I'd be contributing to their success a little bit.
"KATIEKINS!" Cook appeared out of the shed, spliff in hand.
"Fuck off Cook," Katie smiled at him and shook her head when she saw the joint, "do you ever stop?" He smiled at her and offered her a drag, she screwed up her face and he smirked.
"What you scared of babe?"
"Er, cancer," she frowned.
Typical Katie. Dead against smoking but will happily drink herself into oblivion. Cook saw the amused look on my face and held the spliff out to me.
"How 'bout you Emilio man?"
"No thanks Cook, bit early for me."
He shrugged and took a drag himself, gesturing to us to enter the shed as he disappeared before us. I saw Katie roll her eyes as she followed him. I chuckled, amused by the pair of them, and turned to enter the shed just as a ball of bright colours shot into me, I stumbled and looked up.
"Hey Emily, sorry, gotta pee!" Pandora squealed as she darted into Freddie's house. I shook my head and went into the shed. JJ was muttering under his breath as Freddie, Effy, Cook and Katie argued over where everything should go. I took a deep breath, this was going to be a long day.
"Where's my tea, bitch?"
I heard Katie smack our brother round the head and he grunted at her, I rolled my eyes as I got three plates out of the cupboard, our parents had left me and Katie to sort food for us and our brother James. Our dad had some sort of meeting about his gym and our mum was having a 'girls night out' with her friends from the salon, meaning we had to stay home to look after James instead of going out ourselves.
The oven beeped and Katie bent down and opened it.
"Fuck."
I looked down at her to see her holding a rather burnt pizza and I sighed, she wasn't the best at working the oven.
"Take away?" I suggested, she looked up and nodded.
I wandered into the living room and pulled out my phone, dialled the number and held the phone to my ear.
"Hello, you've reached The Village, can I take your order?"
I ordered our usuals; chicken chat and egg fried rice for James, vegetable rogan josh for Katie and chicken vindaloo for myself, gave our address and hung up.
"I get to pick what's on tv!" James shouted as he darted into the room, Katie appeared in the doorway behind him and scowled.
"I don't think so." She strutted over to him and plucked the remote from his grip, flicking through the channels until she got to E4. "We're watching Skins in ten minutes," she announced and sat down. I grinned, our favourite program, perfect.
