Hello everyone! I love you all and I'm sooo happy you enjoy my story! Having some kind of a really painful writer's block so fuuuuuck, but well, I'll try to satisfy you (not quite sure with sth funny though, really not in the mood atm). Um, though, I guess it's kinda a filler chapter. Next one will be better, I promise! ;D

Anyway, you can follow me on twitter now – let_you_shine (lol, no idea why I did that, I don't think anyone would like to follow me. ;o but well, I created my twitter account mainly to follow, not to be followed. Anyway, if you want to know when the next chapter will appear or when I'm making a coffee, or anything like that, then follow me. xD).

And, plus, does anybody know why Naomily-Fan doesn't continue her wonderful story "I'd Come For You"? I read it like few days ago and God, I wish she updated soon!

"Effy," Naomi stood in front of Effy and Cook in the kitchen. Brunette looked at her, surprised, and blinked.

"What?"

"Where is Emily?"

"Well, you are not the one I'll let to know it, sorry," Effy said and raised her eyebrow impatiently, showing Naomi that she was not welcome there.

"Fuck, you don't get it, Effy, just tell me where she is."

"Bored with Jason? Need Emily to have fun now?"

Naomi blinked and opened her mouth; she looked as if Effy punched her in the stomach really hard.

"Effy, just—" She tried once again but was cut off when Cook cleared his throat and they both looked at him.

"I will leave you two here," he said and left the kitchen. Naomi looked at Effy imploringly.

"You have to listen to me, Effy. I beg you."

Effy took a deep breath and nodded.

"Effy, wherever Emily went, you have to send your friends to go after her and find her. It's really important. You have to do it, please," Naomi was doing her best to stay calm, but in fact she was so nervous that it was nearly impossible to stand.

"Naomi, do you really think that I'll do anything for you after how much you hurt my best friend?" Effy snorted angrily.

Naomi sighed with irritation, she was terrified that in a minute it could be too late. "I'm not telling you to do that for me. Do that for Emily. Really, she may not survive that night if you don't do that."

Effy looked at her, surprised, and smirked sneeringly.

"You are aware that life isn't a movie, right?"

"You have no idea how much I would like to make my life normal. And right now, please, do as I say, I'm not kidding. I will explain it to you, just send them after her."

Effy raised her eyebrow, but finally just nodded and left the kitchen.

"Now, Effy, I told you everything. Do you believe me?" They were still sitting in the kitchen.

"Guess I don't have a choice. Fuck, they have to find her, they have to!" Effy was terrified, she had no idea that a story like that could happen in their easy Bristol lives. Naomi bit her lip.

"If anything happens to her, I'm the only one responsible. I put us both in danger letting myself fall for her. I should have known."

"Fuck, you can't help who you fall for, it just happens… God, I feel bad just sitting here and—" The phone rang and they both jumped. "Cook," Effy said and answered it. "Is she alright? Is she alright?" Naomi could hear Cook said something, but didn't know what, the party was too loud. After few seconds Effy hung up. "They found her. She's alive. And safe. Guess you all should go home now, they'll bring her here, I don't think she would like anyone to see her like that."

Naomi stood up. "Sure. Thank you, Effy, you're the first person I told that story."

Effy smiled weakly. "Try to come here later, maybe you'll be able to speak to her."

"Well, I hope so, have to let her know everything now. Bye, Effy," Naomi said and left. Effy followed her, turned off the music (causing complete discontent among the crowd) and stood on the table, so that everyone could see her.

"Hey people, there's a problem and I have to end up that party," she said and heard some whats and fucks. "Yeah, really, it's important, I'm sorry I can't tell you what it is about. So, bye everyone, I promise there'll be a next party to compensate it to you!" she said and came back to the floor. People immediately started going out and she was grateful that most of them were her friends so they didn't cause any problems with leaving.

"Emily," said Effy quietly, sitting next to her best friend and grasping her hand. "Let her speak to you."

Emily snorted. "Are you like what, best friends now? Great, seems like she's going to take everything from me," she spitted out and snatched her hand from Effy's embrace.

Effy sighed. "Don't be childish, Em, you know it's not like that. I would never make you do something you don't want to if it wouldn't be important."

Emily didn't answer, but let Effy wrap her arm around her.

"Now, Em, will you promise you'll speak to her in the morning? After we go and see the doctor?"

"What? I'm not going to a doctor, no way."

Effy raised her eyebrow. "Really? And what are we going to say to your parents, huh? You have to see them too, and you have to explain."

Emily sighed. "Yeah, I know. I'll go back home after we go to the doctor. Fine. And Naomi can come to mine and eat lunch with me if it's that important, whatever she wants to tell me."

Effy was silent for few seconds, considering if it was safe for both of them to eat lunch at Emily's and finally decided that with Rob around, there was no way for anyone to hurt them.

"Great, you want to text her or should I?"

"You text her. For now I'm going to sleep, sorry, I'm really tired."

Effy leaped to her feet. "Yeah, sure, sorry, completely forgot about… um, it."

Emily somehow managed to smile; Effy was really impressed with Emily's ability to pretend to be fine even in the worst moments of her life.

"Good night, Em," she said though she was sure there was no way Emily had a good night after all that happened.

"Yeah," Emily's voice was weak. "Sweet dreams."

Effy smiled and kissed her best friend of the cheek (the left one to avoid causing her pain by touching her bruises).

"Hello, Campbell," said Katie when she finally opened the door.

"Hey. I came to, umm, see Emily."

Katie nodded. "Fine. But you know she isn't in the best state, right?"

"I do."

"Yeah well, come in. Upstairs and the second door on the right. You'll probably have to wait for her, she's having a shower."

"Thanks," said Naomi and smiled. She directed her steps towards Emily and Katie's bedroom and sat down on Emily's bed. Katie was right – Emily wasn't there, so Naomi just waited, looking around the room. It was really girlish – walls were covered with a flowery wallpaper, there were also some plush toys and colorful bedclothes. Naomi was still smiling to herself when the door opened and she saw Emily Fitch. With wet hair and nothing but her underwear on.

"Oh, fuck," Naomi mumbled as her jaw dropped to the floor. Emily noticed her and jumped.

"Fuck, didn't know you're already here, sorry!" she said and ran out of the room. She came back after a minute, dressed in a huge t-shirt and shorts. "Um, hi," she said and tried to smile.

"Hi," Naomi answered, blinking and forcing herself not to look at Emily's legs.

"Soo, I'll bring our lunch here, wait a while," with that Emily was gone and appeared back few minutes later, with a tray loaded with pancakes, strawberries and blueberry cocktail.

They sat down on the sofa with their plates on their knees and the awkward silence fell. Finally Naomi plucked up the courage to clear her throat and speak.

"So… Will you listen to me, Ems?"

Emily shrugged indifferently. "Well, I'll let you know it's not my decision, 'cause Effy made me do that. But yeah, I'll listen to you, whatever you want to tell me."

Naomi took a deep breath. "Fine. I'll start from the beginning."

I'm really sorry that this chapter sucks, I wanted to add Naomi's story in that one too, but it'd be definitely too long, so yeah well… though I really adore your reviews, I bet that chapter doesn't deserve any.
