Authors note: Hello there everyone. First thing I'm going to say is, I am so ashamed at myself right now! I've tried writing this twice already and this is my third try. I know this sounds bad but I'm really feeling good about this one.

The name was inspired by something I saw on tumblr. You guys will get it soon ;)

I don't know if I'm going to continue writing it to be honest. It depends on the reviews I get and whatnot.

Summary: Emily says goodbye to her twin sister Katie when she's leaving for a job offer in new york. We're basically following her around and watching what happens in her journey of living alone. Specially when she meets two runaways who turn her world upside down.

Okay, I really fucking suck at summaries lol and I would really love some help on this. If anyone out there can offer to beta this story, that would be great :)

Rating: M for obvious reasons... it is Skins after all right?

Disclaimer: I obviously -and sadly, may I add- do not own skins or any of the characters. except the ones that I invented, I'd like to think I own them hewhew

- I apologize in advance for any spelling or grammar mistakes :(

Now without further a due here is the story

Make me: Chapter one

This must be the worst day ever. Though Emily Fitch, as she was walking home from a day alone at the park. She hears yelling and screaming from behind her so she turns around to find a completely naked guy running away from a man with a weird and funny looking mustache.

"You'll never catch me you old cocksucker" The naked guy says. He doesn't even look like he's embarrassed or humiliated by anything. Emily is still watching him when he passes her. He notices her looking at him with a smirk so he yells while running "Ey there red, like what you see?" he winks.

Emily giggles as the funny looking man passes her and they both disappear.

This is supposed to be someone's highlight of the month, let alone day. But still after that funny scenario Emily Fitch was still feeling sad.

Earlier that day:

"I can't believe you guys are leaving me in London alone." Emily says with a pout. "You know how dangerous it is for a 19 year old girl to live in London, alone?"

Her sister Katie Fitch and Katie's colleague and friend Sasha look at each other and then they roll their eyes.

"And they say I'm the dramatic one." Katie says with a glare. "you're gonna be fine ,silly. It's only six month…"

"Only six months!? Only six… " she stops there and sighs.

"You could always ask Alex to move in with you. You know she'll love it" Sasha says.

"Alex? Really? Have you seen that girls dorm? I'm afraid to say she's even worse than you Katie" Both Emily and Sasha chuckle at that.

"Oi, I'm not that bad" Katie tries to defend herself.

"Oh no? I remember that one time we found your shirt behind the couch next to 3 dead cockroaches" Sasha says with a raised eyebrow.

"are you gonna keep reminding me of that?" Katie asks as they are both laughing at her. "I can't keep being judged for my worse time ever, can I?" They laugh even harder.

"Katie, we all know that wasn't your worst time" Emily smirks. And Sasha laughs even harder than before.

-Flight 158 to New York City. Last call- The lady's voice says

"Saved by the bell… or by the lady's voice anyway" Katie says with relief. Katie felt relieved but Emily's laugh died and she started to stress even more. "Hey… Ems don't worry, you'll be fine. I promise you we'll skype every day!" She hugs me close

"I know Katie, I know I'll be fine, but I'll… I'm just gonna miss you, is all" she says with tears threatening to run down her cheek. Katie hugs her and pats her on the back the way she loves.

"Now we really have to go" She chuckles.

"Alright take care okay? New York is a big place you know…" Sasha putts her hand on Emily's shoulder reassuringly. "What I don't get a hug from you?" Emily raises her eyebrow and gains a smile from Sasha before she's being hugged and squeezed.

"I'm gonna miss you so much babe. But I have Katie so it's like seeing you as well… although you can be much nicer" She whispers the last bit which made Emily chuckle.

"Take care, the pair of you, okay?" Emily says one last time and they both nod and turn around and start walking away. Tears start to cripple in Emily's eyes until Katie turns around and waves her goodbye with also teary eyes. Emily waves at her and then turns around as well to walk away; when she hears Sasha call her name she stops and turns around to see what she wants.

"I left you a gift in the drawer next to your bed, you'll thank me later" She yells and Emily smiles brightly.

"I wonder what that bitch got me" she walks away chuckling to herself.

Emily took a cab home. She entered the flat feeling lonelier than ever. She wasn't used to being alone. Ever since she was born she had Katie next to her. The moment she came out to her parents about her sexuality Katie was there as well. Maybe she didn't like it very much at the beginning but she got better each day. And that didn't stop her from defending her sister. And when things got really bad at home; when her father lost his gym and her mother lost her mind they were together.

They chose to move out together. And if one of them wasn't there for the other they would've never made it out of Bristol after collage. Emily wouldn't be going to one of the best universities in the country, and Katie wouldn't be leaving for New York right now for the best job offer out there for a fashion designer. But most of all, they would have never met Alex and Sasha.

Sasha was their best friend. She had light brown eyes with really long eyelashes. She's one of the nicest people Emily ever met.

Emily met her at uni. She was the one who helped her know her way around the first couple of weeks. She even introduced her to a couple of people who were known to throw good parties.

Sasha's Her brother called Adam. He lives in New York, and he's supposedly well-known or some shit like that. So Sasha asked him if he could hook Katie up and he did. Emily and Katie had met Adam before, but it was when they first moved to London. They only saw him for a couple of hours and after that he was on his way to New York.

Sasha was there for the twins in so many ways. They were emotionally a disaster when she first met them, and she helped them through it! She was really nice, but she was a party hard girl. If you want drugs and alcohol, an acid influenced party it's Sasha you want to call.

Emily walked to her bedroom and opened the drawer next to her bed only to find a bag full of powder and a bottle of Jack. She didn't know what it was exactly but knowing Sasha, she knew it was some kind of drugs. She giggled to herself and picked them up. Emily noticed there was a piece of paper in there as well. She picked it up and unfolded it.

Have fun, and use it wisely ;)

-S xx

"Fucking Hell" Emily said to herself and laughed again. She thought how she's going to do this. It's going to be a shitty day without this. But she didn't want to do it by herself so she picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"What do you want now, lezza? I'm not doin' you again. And I don't care that your sister left either" The girls voice said from the other end of the phone.

"In your dreams Alex" Emily chuckled. "Come here quickly. Sasha left me a bag of some drugs. Want to do it together?"

"Drugs ey?" Alex asked. "I'll think about it."

Emily raised both her eyebrows, knowing Alex wouldn't be able to see her.

"Who am I kidding?" Alex laughed. "Be there when I'm done with the studio okay?"

Emily laughed at her and agreed. "But don't be too long, yeah?"

"Yeah yeah, 10 minutes max! I swear to god, if you start without me you're dead meat Emily Fitch" She said only kidding a little.

"Don't count on it. If you're not here in less than 10 it's your loss" Emily challenged.

"ugh… bitch. I'll be right there." She laughed.

They closed the line. Emily sat on her bed waiting for Alex. She knows she won't be here for at least 15 minutes but she didn't know what else to do. She needed to get fucked up, fast!

Alex was her friend from uni. They both study photography there which makes them have most lectures together. Alex is a really funny girl. She's also fit as fuck. She has black hair and white pale skin. With some freckles on her cheek and nose, that made her look cute. The best thing about Alex was her big blue eyes. Emily knew she'd never see blue eyes more beautiful than Alex's

Emily and Alex had sex once before. But they both agreed that it meant nothing to them. Their friendship was so nice and honest, and both of them didn't want to lose the other because of some stupid fuck. Ever since then, they've been inseparable.

"You know, now that you're living alone, you might as well lock your doors ey?" Alex said, startling the redhead.

"You could fucking knock you know…" Emily said when she jumped.

"I only knock when the door isn't open." She shrugged and sat beside Emily on the bed. "So, where are the drugs?" she smirked.

Emily picked up the bag of white powder "here it is." She smiled.

"alright then, we need one more thing." Alex said.

Emily furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head questioningly.

"People, and drinks." She smirked again.

::

3 hours later, and the flat was full of people. Emily wasn't sure she knew everyone that came but at this point she didn't really give a fuck. Alex was probably with some guy in Katie's room fucking his brains out and Emily was dancing in the living room to the loud music in the middle of piles of people who were dancing as well. She was so hammered, the music was too loud and people were pushing up against her.

This is fun, she thought.

"Why's a beautiful redhead like you dancing alone?" voice from behind her said. She turned around to look at the person who said it to find out it was a gorgeous brunette, with big beautiful blue eyes. Fit as fuck, might she add. The thought of Alex having the best blue eyes was thrown out the window instantly.

"Been waiting for a beautiful brunette to dance with me" Emily answered mischievously. The girl put her hands on Emily's hips and started swaying with the music. Emily put her hands on the girl's neck and moved along with her.

"Have you found her yet?" The girl said, leaning in to capture Emily's lips with hers. They're lips crashed together in a heated kiss.

"hmm… I don't know, maybe?" Emily answered with her eyes closed, her breath tickling the other girl's lips.

The brunette kissed her again, with more pressure this time. Pulling her away from the middle of the living room and pushing her in to the corridor, her lips never leaving Emily's.

Her hands started travelling up and down Emily's back sending shivers all over her body. The girl was really hot, and Emily was getting wet already. "Want to go to the bathroom?" Emily said out of breath.

"I like a girl who knows what she wants." The brunette said and pushed the bathroom door and crashed them both on the toilet seat.

The girl took off her shirt immediately and sat on Emily's lap, straddling her on the toilet. Emily took a sharp intake of breath at the sight of other girl perfect perky breasts and her delicious flat stomach. Emily's shirt was the next piece of clothing to come off.

The girl's eyes went wide and she began attacking her neck, her jaw line, her lips… everything. Emily's breath stated to hitch. The girl moved her hand to her breasts and cupped it. She moved her other hand to Emily's abdomen and stopped at the top of Emily's jeans, as if asking for permission. Emily took the girl's hand and shoved it inside her pants. The redhead moaned loudly at the contact. She was so fucking wet and she knew the girl knew that as well.

"Fuck"

The girl smirked at her and started rubbing on her clit slowly, not yet entering her.

"oh god… fuck" Emily moaned again, Her head falling back and her eyes shutting tight. The girl captured Emily's lips with hers again and with an experienced try, she took off Emily's bra with one hand. She moved her hand to her right breast and started playing with her nipple. Emily couldn't take anymore.

"Fuck me.. please" Emily said pleadingly.

The girl smirked "All you had to do was ask nicely" and with that, two fingers entered Emily.

"oh god.. oh god…" Emily said in slow moans. "you feel… so… good" The girl found a rhythm. In and out, in and out. With each thrust Emily was going crazier and crazier. "Fuck… I'm so close"

The girl curled her fingers. Emily was done, she was out of breath, her heart stopped beating and her clit was throbbing. Her hips buckled and she practically saw stars. "fuuuucckkk" was the only thing that was running through Emily's mind when she came. The girl kissed her one last time before she got up from her lap and looked at Emily.

"You're very sexy when you're coming down" The brunette smirked.

"and you… you're fucking amazing" Emily said, still trying to catch her breath.

"So I've heard." She answered while picking up her shirt from the bathroom floor. She opened the door and looked back. "This was nice… maybe we should do it again?"

"but I don't even know your name…" Emily answered, picking her shirt off the floor as well.

"Effy. My name is Effy." She smirked.

What a weird name, Emily thought. "And I'm Emily… it was nice… fucking you Effy." She answered.

"very nice fuck you as well Emily" was the last thing Effy said before going out the bathroom and closing the door behind her and leaving Emily in there alone.

"Fuck me that was good" Emily said to herself, smiling. She shook her head, still smiling at the thought of that mysterious beautiful girl. "I'd love to fuck her again." She thought.

Emily Thought about going back to the party, but she really didn't like that thought. So instead, she climbed out the bathroom window after she got dressed and climbed down the fire escape stairs. When her feet reached the sidewalk she sat on the floor and pulled out a fag. She wished Katie was here with her. Then she wouldn't be feeling so lonely. Yes, she just had a fabulous shag with a sexy girl called Effy… but she couldn't help but feel lonely. She didn't know what to do now. How will she be able to live alone? She was startled out of her thoughts by a voice.

"psst" A brown haired boy said; his head popping from the ally between her building and the next. "anyone with you?"

Emily looked at him confused. She didn't even know this guy. Maybe someone had to be with her. What if this guy was a homicidal killer or something? That's when it hit her. 'I can't fucking live alone! I'm afraid of spiders for fucks sake' she thought.

"Err… red?" The boy said again. "I'm not gonna kill ya, don't worry. I'm just running from this guy who will kill me if he finds me" He said in the calmest voice ever. Like what he said was totally fine.

Emily smiled to herself a little "No… no one's here. All alone" She sighed.

"Cool, can I join you then?" He asked, already moving away from the ally way and showing the rest of his body. Emily nodded once and he made his way over to her and sad beside her on the sidewalk. It was quite for a minute before he spoke again. "Sooo.. what are you doin' here? There's obviously a party up there and there must be a reason you're down here and not there… am I right?" He said looking Emily in the eye.

"Needed the fresh air." She said simply

"Hold on!" The sandy haired boy jumped. "Weren't you the girl at the park today?" He said excitedly.

"W-well… I was at the park today… why?" She asked, confused.

"It was me… the naked guy. Remember, there was a guy, running from a skinny cocksucker. Completely butt naked?" he smirked.

Emily tried thinking back. But come on… how could someone forget a naked guy running in the park? Of fucking course she remembers. She started laughing instantly and blushing at the same time.

"How can I forget?" She said the blush creeping in more.

"So… did you like what you saw?" He asked mischievously.

Emily didn't want to blush even more so she settled with a smart retort. Something that would brush it off immediately.

"Meh… " she said with a smile.

The boy jumped in shock "WHAT? What do you mean "meh"" He yelled throwing his hands in the air "No girl ever said that to me before."

Emily laughed at him "I'm just saying I've seen better." She shrugged to annoy him even more.

"You did not just say that!" He laughed with her, finally catching on her joke.

"I'm afraid I did. What you gonna do about it?" She challenged.

The boy looked at her for a minute. An amused expression on his face.

"What?" she asked blushing slightly.

"Nothing… " He said shaking his head. Emily wondered what he was thinking. "I'm James Cook by the way. But you can call me Cook, everyone does." He offered his hand and she took it.

"Emily… Emily Fitch. You can call me Emily, because that's what people call me" She answered him. They both laughed a little.

"I'm gonna call you red though. Seems to fit you better, I'd say" He said smiling.

"Is it because fire is red and you think I'm totally hot like fire?" She answered quickly. Cook laughed harder this time.

"I like you red, you're funny!" He smiled.

"Yeah… thanks" she answered blushing again.

"So Emily, you think we can sneak our way inside?"

Emily wondered why he thought they have to sneak to get in. then she got it. 'He doesn't know I live here…" she kicked herself mentally.

"Don't need to mate, its my flat."

Cook was shocked for a second and then a smirk grew on his boyish face.

"What?" Emily asked.

"Nothing, I just didn't think you were the type to pull a perfect party, is all" He smirked again.

"Oh… this old thing?" She waved her hand to the flat and smiled. "this is nothing, youshould meet my sister" Emily said giggling. Thinking how Katie would also be amused at how she actually pulled off a party like this. But to be completely honest, if it wasn't for Alex no one would be here.

"Oh, got a sister, do you?" he asked.

"Twin actually. But she's a bitch… not like me" She winked.

Cook laughed "You know guys? They dig the twin thing" He winked this time. Emily shoved him in the ribs and walked past him to the entry of the building. Cook followed behind her, still laughing.

"perve" Emily hissed, whilst smiling to herself.

In the lift, something came up to Emily's mind.

"Cook?" she said.

"mhm?" he answered.

"why were you here when you find me. I mean… what were you doing?" She asked.

"I was running from this guy, right? So I called a friend and she said me and my mate could come hide here for a bit. She said no way he'd find us here." He answered.

"us?" Emily asked confused. She thought Cook was the only one running from the guy with the funny mustache.

"Yeah, me and my mate Naomi! Me and her, we were staying at this flat a couple blocks down. Turns out it was his. He found us today and we had to run." He shrugged.

"Shit, so you have no place to stay?" She felt sorry for Cook and his friend.

"It's fine man! Not the first time." He said smiling at her.

Emily didn't continue asking after that because the doors of the lift opened and the music filled it. She escorted Cook to her flat and opened the door. She didn't think it was possible, but the flat was filled with even more people than before. The music louder and the smell of sex was everywhere.

Cook hauled from her side. Seconds later he was pulling her to the middle of the living room and jumping to the music. Emily laughed at him but started jumping with him. She just met Cook but she couldn't deny that she quite liked him.

30 minutes later Cook had consumed as much alcohol as he can. He was more than fucked. She knows she never even met someone more of a party animal than Alex or Sasha, but after seeing Cook, she knew they was nothing compared to him.

At some point in that time, Cook met Alex and liked her instantly. Just like Emily thought he would. They were practically the same person. Emily laughed at that thought.

Cook and Alex were standing on her table dancing there asses off and singing along with the lyrics. Everything was wrong. But everyone was cheering for them so she guessed it was fine.

In the corner of her eye she saw Effy standing by the door. Smiling wickedly at the sight of Cook and Alex. Emily made her way to her.

"So… I see you're still here." Emily said with a big smile.

"Actually, I came to bring my friend back. But I guess that's out of the question now."Effy said waving her hand at Cook.

"Oh god, Cook's your friend?" Emily asked in shock.

Effy smiled and shook her head. "yeah, something like that…" They stayed silent for a bit before Effy asked "So… you met him then?"

"Yeah… something like that." Emily answered with a smirk.

"Oh fuck he didn't try to…"

"Oh god no" Emily laughed. "don't do cock unfortunately." She smiled shyly.

"Oh…" Effy said. "he fucks everything… wouldn't mind shagging a muff mucher."

They fell silent again. Still watching Alex rub against him. And the look on Cooks face was priceless. You can tell he's fucking enjoying himself.

"So uhm…" Effy said. "this wasn't like… a thing, yeah?"

Emily tried understanding what Effy meant. What wasn't a thing? 'oooh' Emily thought when she got it finally.

"Oh… " Emily laughed. "don't worry, I'm not going to act like a clingy girlfriend after one fuck" She smiled.

"good" Effy smiled to her.

::

Emily doesn't remember how she ended up sleeping on the kitchen floor next to Alex. All she knows is that yesterday was extremely fun and now she's dealing with a massive hangover. She got up and took the first cup she found and filled it with water from the cooler. She went to the living room and found the flat completely empty, except for Cook who was sleeping on the couch with some random I've never met before. Emily thought he looked so funny with his ass showing and had "place dick in here" on it. She chuckled to herself and went over to him and covered him up.

She doesn't know why she took a liking to him, but he just seemed so free and funny, how could she not.

The loud knocking on the door startled Emily out of her thoughts. She walked over to the door and opened it. The first thing she remembers seeing was a beautiful platinum blonde with the bluest eyes she had ever seen. She must have chocked the words "who is it?" because the moment she laid eyes on her she was literally drooling.

The moment didn't last too long because the girl flew into the flat and started yelling.

"Cook?" she yelled.

"uh… excuse me? Who are you?" Emily asked.

"Yeah, no time for that… Cook, where the fuck are you you arsehole?" She yelled again.

She started walking around the flat until she found Cook in the same position that I did. Somehow the pillow Emily managed to use to cover his ass had somehow fallen.

"Seriously? Are you fucking kidding me right now?" She yelled harder. Her arms flying to her head in frustration. Cook woke up at her voice. The minute he looked at her a look of pure fear crossed his face.

"Nai, I can explain… I just" He tried saying while moving up from the couch and walking to the corridor. In summary he was running away.

"You just what? WHAT?" She yelled harder.

'This is it' Emily thought. 'This girl can't just barge into my flat and start yelling at my guests!'

"Hold up right there…" Emily said furiously. Standing in between this mysterious, rude girl and Cook. "Who the fuck do you think you are? Coming to my house like this and insulting my guests." She yelled.

The girl laughed. "oh he's your guest isn't he?" she laughed again making Emily confused. "Listen, I'm sorry but I really have no fucking time for this." She said looking at Emily and then turning to look at Cook. "And you, you fucking Cunt, you're coming with me" The girl moved her fingers in a "come here" kind of way.

Cook looked at the ground obviously defeated. He moved past Emily towards the girl. She grabbed his ear and pulled him like a little child towards the door. "Ouch Naomi… seriously, there's no need to be extreme!" He yelled, trying to break away from her. She pulled on his ear even harder. Fuck that looked like it hurt.

"I'll show you extreme, tosser!" She said into his ear. The girl turned around and looked at Emily. "Listen, uhm… I'm sorry." She said flatly. Emily just raised her eyebrows. "Yeah… Okay, uhm bye" Was the last thing Naomi said before she went out the door and closed it behind her. After that they heard her scream at Cook and him yelling back until they were finally gone.

"The fuck was that all about?" Alex said suddenly showing up. Standing at the door between the kitchen and the livingroom.

"Beats me." Emily said, shaking her head and trying to wrap the whole thing up.

"It was some night yesterday, wasn't" Alex said again with a smirk. Moving to one of the couches and slumping in it.

"Yeah" Emily smiled. "But fuck… we're going to have to clean this place up" She frowned.

"Aaaaand I'm gone" Alex said, getting up from the sofa she found comfortable just seconds ago.

"Oh no you're not. You're going to help me! This is all your doing you know?" Emily told her with raised eyebrows.

"Fuck it… Didn't think I'd get out of it anyway" The brunet laughed.

Alex went to the kitchen to make them both a cup of tea. Emily was left alone with her thoughts. And the only thing that was going on in the little red head of hers was the beautiful blonde who came in just minutes ago.

I really am sorry for the mistakes.

Review maybe? :)
