Chapter III
„Okay....Listen, bitch! You'll talk to Emily, you'll tell her that it wasn't her fault, and you'll fix this, at least be honest...if you are such a coward, tell her so and never ever talk to her again, understand? Stop playing with her! And do it soon...please, I'm not sure, how long she'll cope with her pain anymore..." Katie said, her voice calm. She stood up, and left the room, Effy followed her.
Naomi psuhed herself off of the wall and the floor and sat on her bed. Tears were streaming down her face. Suddenly the door opened once more and her mother came into the room.
„Oh honey, what happened? I thought these girls were your friends..."
„Maybe they were..."
„What happened?"
„I...I don't want to talk about it... Mum...do you think you could hold me? Just for a bit?"
„Oh sure my darling, come here"
„Why don't you like me like every other mother loves her child?" Naomi suddenly asked her mum.
Ms. Campbell looked at her daughter. „Because you are so much like him... With every year you grew you become more similar to him. He was one of the most passionate persons I ever met. He was the one I thought he could do anything....We wanted to travel the world you know, have sex on every beach in India, fuck on the mount Everest or something, but then I got pregnant...and everything was over...He was gone, you were born and I didn't know what to do...I was alone...and it took me 16 fuckin years to see that it was you, who made my life complete. Your father might be the one, but you are my everything. You and you dad... maybe you noticed, but that smirk you sometimes have on you face is the one that made me fall for you father... But he wrote me a letter too, you know, he'll come over for a visit...and we will talk...
When you were gone, I missed you so much, honey, I'm so sorry, what I've been putting you through, I just hope one day you can...forgive me or something..."
And for the first time in about 10 years Naomi cried in her mother's arms and fell asleep.
When Katie got home, she ran into her room and saw Emily laying on her own bed, starring at the ceiling. "Hey...how are you?" she asked the younger twin with a soft voice.
To her surprise the other red head got up and went over to her. "Thanks Katie!"
Slightly confused Katie hugged her sister back. "What for?"
"For being there for me, for coping with me, when I was...lost."
"Hey, that's what sisters are for, right?!...But what happened that you,...you know,...feel better?"
"An half bottle of wodka, some spliffs and a long talk...now guess with whom..."
"Who?"
"Thomas. He came over after school, brought me some chocolate and alcohol and sat down with me...first I didn't want to, especially not after what happened this morning, but Thomas didn't talk, he sang something to me, gave me a spliff and we started to dance to his voice... and suddenly everything became not so heavy anymore...Then Pandora and Freddie came by, weird combination, isn't it?... They didn't said a word either, don't just moved along with us...Jesus, it's fuckin strange I know...and when JJ and Cook came with their Muffins... That absurd situation was just perfect... but I'm wondering where you and Effy have been..."
Emily said, still a smile on her face. Katie took some time to answere. She simply starred at her sisters face. There was that grin she had missed so much and the passion about her friends was back in her sister's voice. Should she tell her that SHE was back?
"We...uhm... wait...now what about the bitch?"
"What bitch?
"Naomi..."
"Oh... well, I dunno... I miss her, but it's been a half year...exactly...Think it's time to move on!"
"Emily...what going on? You tried to hurt yourself in the morning, you didn't really eat for the last months, you didn't sleep, you didn't smile... how can that change after 10 hours? Not that I'm not happy about it!"
"I cut my wrists...and that was something I've promised myself not to do... not ever...but I did and it made me realize that I was really losing myself...that I became somethng I always feared...someone broken...Life will go on, I'm sure, and I'm not giving up, I nearly lost myself, I put you and Effy and the others through a lot with my problems and my weakness but now... I'm ready to face the world, with or without Naomi, I'm still a Fitch, I'm still you Twin, I'm still Emily, the muff muncher..." The red heads laughed and it was one of the greatest moments in their life, seeing Emily coming back to life, made Katie feel like a part, that she was missing, came back into her soul.
Suddenly Emily's phone rang. Still giggling the red head took the call, before Katie, who actuall had an idea who it could be, was able to stop her.
The room became silent and the world seemed to stop. "Naomi" Emily whispered.
Naomi Campbell was back, and the pain inside Emily's heart started to grow again, with every breath she took. The phone fell on the floor, a twin stumbled back onto her bed, no emotion was seen, no other reaction was there, all there was, was a soft knock at the door of the twins' room.
