Here is chapter four of this story, I have actually just finished writing chapter 11 so I am doing pretty well with writing this, ideas keep popping into my head so I am really enjoying writing this at the moment. i would like to thank marsupial1974 for all her lovely reviews and thanks to everyone that has added this to their alerts and favourites.

I know the physio sessions aren't going into too much detail at the moment but details will come throughout the story, I have plans for it to come into it but some of it will be through flashbacks and conversations between the two girls in future chapters and some of it will be when Naomi is still in hospital. Anyway here is chapter four and Naomi's feelings are beginning to come to light...

Chapter Four

Two Weeks Later

Naomi

I had been having physio with Emily five days a week for two weeks now, she had gradually been increasing the hours she worked with me as I continued to gain strength and we have quite a bit of fun together during our sessions, I know we weren't there to have fun but Emily always says a little fun makes things seem just that little bit better. Usually I am a pretty closed off person but for some reason I find it easy to talk to Emily, it's weird as I always prided myself in keeping my feelings hidden but Emily always seemed to know when something was bothering me.

I was lying on the mat on the floor again with Emily doing something with my legs, I wasn't always sure what she was doing but I knew she would be doing what needed to be done. The pain seemed to be stronger today; I don't know why I just knew everything was hurting more. After a few minutes a tear rolled down my cheek, it took me a moment to realise. As soon as Emily noticed she stopped what she was doing "Naomi what is it?"

I shook my head "Nothing, everything is fine."

She shook her head "No it's not Naomi, when someone has tears falling from their eyes it shows me that not everything is ok, talk to me."

I took a deep breath "I just keep remembering why I am here, why I am spending time with you in the first place."

I knew she was trying to make me feel a little better as she said "Is my company really that bad?"

I couldn't help but smile slightly "I think your company is one of the only things that is getting me through this at the moment. If you tell anyone this I may have to hurt you as it would ruin my reputation but I really look forward to our sessions."

I noticed her smile, I couldn't help it, it lit up her whole face "That's nice to hear Naomi I enjoy our sessions too even if you can be sarcastic most the time, seriously though I want you to talk to me, I know you won't believe this but talking does help."

I laughed and I knew she was right in a way but there was always something stopping me "I'll keep that in mind."

She smiled "Come on the let's get back to it."

We went back to whatever she was doing to me before and the pain kicked in again, I couldn't help but scream out a little, Emily stopped what she was doing instantly "Naomi are you in pain?"

I nodded slowly "Yeah." I snapped slightly "And yes I know before you say anything I should have told you."

Her face dropped slightly and I immediately felt guilty "Yes you should have. Anyway let's do something to help you."

I smiled slightly "Thanks, and Emily I'm sorry for snapping."

She returned my smile "It's ok Naomi, now I want you to try relax slightly, and I have to warn you this will be cold. I need you to tell me what hurts?"

I pointed to the base of my spine and Emily nodded "Ok I need you on your front."

She helped me turn over and I felt a slight tingle as her skin touched mine but soon gasped when she pressed an ice pack against my skin "That's fucking freezing Emily."

She laughed "Yeah that's the whole point of ice therapy; it will help your muscles and hopefully reduce the pain."

I got used to the cold temperature after a while although it was still fucking freezing, I couldn't help but shiver but it wasn't because of the ice. I heard Emily chuckle behind me "Stop being such a wimp Naomi."

I smiled to myself before replying "Well you shouldn't put such fucking cold things on my skin then."

She laughed again and I knew I had just lied to her, it wasn't the cold that had made me shiver it was the soft brush of Emily's fingers against my skin as she adjusted the ice pack. I don't know why her touch was making me feel like this, it was so confusing; I couldn't like a girl, could I? No there was no way it must just be because we have been spending so much time together. Emily's soft voice broke me out of my thoughts "How's the pain now?"

I nodded "Yeah it's a bit better, I think you can take that fucking cold thing back off me now."

Emily removed the ice pack and she helped me move so I was lying back on my back, she looked at her watch; I scowled but was smiling at the same time "You wishing our time away?"

She smiled and I felt my heart beat a little quicker than usual "Would I do such a thing and to put your mind at rest I was just looking to see how much time we have left to see what I can do to you next."

I couldn't help but laugh "And what do you have planned?"

Her smile widened "How about some more leg exercises, the sooner we get these legs stronger the better but you have to promise me you will tell me if the pain gets too much again."

I rolled my eyes "Yes."

I could see she was trying not to smile but it wasn't working well "There is no need for the sarcasm young lady."

I laughed "You sound so much like my mum when you say things like that."

She laughed "Well shouldn't that tell you something."

She started moving my legs around again and I couldn't help but watch as her expressions changed on her face as she worked. It was only when the door burst open that I was distracted, Emily rolled her eyes as Cook sauntered over "Now how are my two favourite ladies getting on."

I smiled "We were getting on fine. I could think of worse people to spend my time with."

Cook smiled "You're not wrong there Blondie, little red here is excellent company."

Emily glared at him "Stop flirting Cook."

He pretended to look offended as I laughed "Don't worry Emily he's not my type so I'm not paying any attention."

I was beginning to wonder if Emily had a thing for Cook and just hadn't told him, she laughed at my comment as Cook once again pretended to be wounded, he sighed "I don't know neither of you want me."

Emily walked away for a moment to put something away and I couldn't help it as my eyes followed her to where she was walking, I felt my cheeks flush slightly when I realised Cook had noticed. He smiled "She's pretty hot isn't she."

Now I was beginning to wonder if Cook also liked Emily but didn't dare tell her either "Yeah she is a very pretty girl she will make some guy very happy if she hasn't already."

I noticed Cook's face change slightly "You know I tried to crack onto her back in college."

I smiled and thought that maybe I was wrong after all "Did she turn you down."

He laughed "Yeah and then told me that I really wasn't her type and then later at the pub I found her snogging the face off this random girl, turned out she plays for the other team."

I didn't really know how to react and my face must have shown that as I looked to Emily and then back to Cook, he had a slight look of panic in his eyes "Don't tell her I told you, she doesn't tell her patients really, I think she is worried they will change their attitude towards her."

I looked surprised "Why would they do that?"

He shook his head "I don't know Blondie; I guess there are some fucking homophobic people out there."

I shook my head "Well I can assure you I am not one of them."

He smiled "Good."

We quickly changed the conversation as Emily walked back over to us "What you two plotting behind my back."

I laughed "Oh Cook was just trying to chat me up again."

Emily rolled her eyes "That sounds about right." She turned to him "Come on you do what you are paid for and help me get Naomi back into this chair and back to her bed she must be tired."

15 minutes later I was back on my bed, Emily made sure I was comfortable and I tried to keep her talking for as long as possible, there was something about her that made me just want her around but eventually she had to leave. I couldn't help but smile when she popped her head back around the door "I will see you tomorrow."

She smiled when I nodded "I will be ready and waiting."

I threw my head back against the pillow with thoughts of Emily at the front of my mind and couldn't help but think 'what the fuck is up with me, why do I feel like this, I am straight.'
