Effy and Katie had become surprisingly close since the incident in the woods. It didn't take them long to figure out they were actually really quite alike. Both so very lost. So desperate to figure out who they were supposed to be and what they were supposed to be doing. So confident, yet so scared and completely alone. Both using boys to hide their insecurities and both so completely unwilling to accept any responsibility for their mistakes and actions. After all, it's so much easier to hide behind a brave face than admit you have no clue what you're doing and that you're just as scared as everyone else. They were basically inseparable these days. They seemed to fit so well together. Neither of them would accept shit from the other which just made them work. Looking at them now it was hard to imagine them ever being any different.

Naomi had never seen Emily put her clothes on so fast, take them off yes, but never put them on.

'What's going on?' she asked getting out of bed to find her own clothes.

'Something's up with Katie I have to go right now.'

'Then I'm coming with you what the fuck is going on Ems?'

Emily grabbed her bag shoving everything she could into it, tears streaming down her face.

'Will you tell me what's going on Please!? You're scaring me just a little!'

'Katie is in hospital I don't know what's happened but we need to go right now, please! Will your mum take us?'

Before Naomi had even finished her sentence Gina had her keys in her hand and was hurrying the girls in the back of the car. That was the great thing about Gina, something that Naomi really did love about her. She never asked questions, she didn't need to. She had an uncanny way of knowing exactly what to do in the worst situations.

The fifteen minute drive couldn't have felt any longer to Emily if it tried. The only comforting factor of the trip was the hand tightly squeezing hers the entire way. Gina dropped the two out the front of the hospital telling them to call when they needed picking up or if they needed her at all.

Naomi placed her arm around Emily's shoulder and pulled her in kissing the side of her head. 'Everything will be okay, I promise.' While she knew she couldn't make that promise she knew it was what Emily needed to hear. They made their way into the emergency room to see Effy and Cook sat in the waiting room.

'What the fuck is going on!?' Emily practically yelled at Effy like this was somehow all her fault. It seemed that there had never been a time that Effy had shown any kind of emotion. She was an ice queen with the best poker face you'd ever seen. She was generally so unreadable but not today. She'd been crying, that was evident by the eyeliner running down her face. She looked so small and broken in so many ways.

'Effy what the fuck happened!?' she repeated desperate to know what was going on.

'I don't know we were dancing and she just fell, she just passed out I don't know why I don't know she was fine and we were dancing then…' she was visibly shaken. 'Is she okay? Where is she? What are they doing to her? Did she take anything?' she'd never had so many questions she'd wanted answered all at once.

'Just sit down Em's there's nothing we can do but wait. Their looking at her now as soon as they know we will too.' For Cook to see the seriousness of the situation it had to be bad. He was always making a laugh and a joke at the worst possible times.

It felt like they were sat there for hours, that the clock was ticking backwards and whilst she knew looking at it was only going to make time go slower Emily couldn't help but stare. The feeling in the pit of her stomach wouldn't go it just sat there like she'd swallowed a brick. A nurse finally walked up to them.

'Are you friends of Katie Fitch?' she asked

'Yes. Is she okay? Please tell me she's okay' Emily pleaded.

'She's fine. She's asleep right now but she will be okay. You can go in and see her but please don't be long she needs as much rest as she possibly can. Her parents have been called they will be here soon.'

All four of them went into to see Katie before mamma and pappa Fitch got there. She was asleep, laying there so small and helpless. Emily burst out in tears at the sight of her twin laying there with tubes out her nose and drips in her arm. They all just sat in silence. There was nothing else to do really just sit and wait for her to wake up. After a while Cook and Effy left. Effy walked over and kissed Katie on the forehead and squeezed her hand. 'Always have to be the centre of attention, don't you kid?' she whispered in her ear.

'I'll get us some coffee' Naomi added, kissing Emily's head and following Cook and Effy out leaving Emily alone with her sister.

It would be a lie to say that seeing Katie just laying there didn't hurt her. It hurt a lot. It was a kind of hurt you couldn't even begin to explain. It hurt in her stomach and it hurt in her heart. She didn't even know what had happened and wouldn't until her parents got there. She'd already tried to find out from the nurse who insisted that her parents needed to be there. She dragged her chair over to Katie's bedside and squeezed her hand. She'd seen this in movies and on the tv but she never thought it would happen to anyone she knew, let alone her own sister. To be honest she felt completely helpless. It wasn't a lie to say that the twins were nowhere near as close as they used to be. They rarely did anything together anymore and while Katie never failed to blame Naomi for it, it was no ones fault but their own. They let themselves grow apart and Emily had never regretted it more than she did at the exact moment in time.

'Katie darling!' Jenna practically ran into the room throwing her arms around her daughter. Everyone knew that she was Jenna's favourite. 'Mum what happened no one is telling me anything' 'Someone must have spiked her drink or something when she was out' Jenna answered like really, there was no other fucking explanation other than her having her drink spiked. Katie was too perfect for that. She would never touch drugs. Not in her mothers eyes at least. 'They say she will be fine but she needs rest, her body needs to recover.' All of a sudden Emily's feelings changed. They changed to anger and betrayal. How could she be so fucking stupid and so fucking reckless. How could she be so stupid as to end herself in hospital? She was so selfish at times. She was angry at her friends too. How could they let her do this to herself? Why weren't they looking after her? And then they changed again. And all of a sudden Emily felt like this was all her fault. She should have been there to keep an eye on Katie, she should have been the one looking after her when instead she was in Naomi's bed. She should have realised something was wrong by Katie's uncharacteristic message… and now all that she felt was guilt, that this was all her fault.

Seconds fell into minutes and minutes into hours but none of the Fitch's would leave until Katie woke. It was around 8am when mamma and pappa Fitch went to get some breakfast. Emily's eyes were feeling heavy as she hadn't had any sleep at all.

'Those are the guiltiest eyes I've ever seen' Emily's head lifted and her eyes fixed on Katie's face, 'You're alright!' she screamed throwing her arms around Katie.

'I've been awake ages I just didn't want to see mum and dad. Not right now, not like this.'

'Fuck Katie what the hell happened?'

'I don't know, I was fine and then... I wasn't. I don't remember anything.'

'I feel terrible, I should have been there, I should have been there to look after you, keep and eye on you and protect you. I'm the worst sister, you deserve better than me'

'But you weren't, were you? You were off fucking her weren't you? But you know what I don't need you. I can look after myself you know. I am capable of living without you.'

'Clearly not' Emily snapped back slightly hurt that Katie could still manage to make her feel so unneeded and so shitty, even in this situation. 'You're lucky, this could have been so much worse if Effy didn't act so fast.'

'Well it wasn't mean to happen like this was it?'

'What does that mean?'

'Nothing, don't worry'

'Katie what the fuck does that mean?!'

'Exactly what I said now drop it'

'No you can't say something like that then not expect me to ask quest…'

'Oh Katie my beautiful girl you're awake!' Jenna rushed through the door and kissed Katie's hand. 'You had us so worried'

Emily hadn't broken eye contact with her sister till Katie broke it with her.

Katie kissed her mums cheek and Emily grabbed her bag and her jacket and stormed outside.
