Blimey it seems like AGES since I updated this fic but unfortunately I've had all kinds of problems with my computer but it is finally fixed properly now.

Seeing as it's been so long I'm going to put both chapter 7 & 8 up today. =]

If you do read then please leave a review or post a quick comment. Mainly because I would really like to know if people are still reading this as its been a while since I last updated so I can understand if people aren't following the fic anymore. I would really appreciate it.

Thank you for being so patient in waiting for the next chapter so here it is.

A gentle breeze blew over Emily's body as she sat watching the sun set on the same patch of grass not long ago both she and Naomi had been sat, relaxed and enjoying each others company. Up until that point it was going well, too well to actually last. Letting out a sigh as she ran a hand through her hair, her mind was spinning round with a muddle of thoughts and feelings. Why did things always have to go so horrendously wrong? If it wasn't Katie fucking things up for her, it was her stupid self at fault. Surely it isn't too much to ask for something to go right for once.
There's no doubt it will take some work to make things up with Naomi after this; who knows if they can even fix this, especially after the harsh words that were exchanged on both parts. It was difficult not to feel a sense of regret because everything she had said was just a front, in an attempt to cover up the hurt she felt on hearing Naomi's outburst. Then if they did manage to patch things up, how long would it take before the same thing happens again? Having some kind of friendship wasn't going to be easy that's for sure and it was ok to blame the drugs for what happened but Naomi just can't seem to see past it.
One minute she acts normally and appears to be comfortable and happy but then the next she's freaking out, apparently worried that the red head is going to jump her when they get a little too close for comfort.

Ever since Pandora's party there have been moments where things have been slightly more awkward between the two, but that's got to be normal all things considered.
Beforehand they'd barely spoken to each other since starting Roundview.
Although that was mainly down to Katie who revelled in putting Naomi down at every opportunity and attempting to isolate her from the little group that had formed. She didn't seem all that bothered at first but it hadn't stopped Emily from trying to include her in the group's activities. But then in typical Emily Fitch fashion she ended up making a complete fool of herself when the group had gathered together to help out their new friend Thomas, by stupidly telling a seemingly uninterested Naomi that she wanted to kiss her, admittedly not one of her finest moves.

Things seemed to change for the better slightly when Pandora had decided to invite the girls over for a pyjama party; Emily had managed to persuade her to invite Naomi who was still lingering on the outside of the group. Surprisingly she turned up for the party but straight away on arrival, firmly stated to a perplexed Emily that she wasn't gay, it clearly wasn't going to be easy for her to put Emily's words to the back of her mind. Still none of that really mattered because drugs or no drugs, it hadn't stopped Naomi from reciprocating the initial kiss they shared later on at the party.

Breaking out of her daze and withdrawing herself from all of these thoughts, Emily knew she had to put her feelings to one side if she wanted them to be friends but there was no way a friendship could work if Naomi was unable to move on from what happened between them. If she's not gay like she keeps insisting and it was just the drugs then surely it couldn't be that difficult to forget.

By the time she'd left the park the sun was beginning to set, its light creating soft glow on her pale skin. Emily was unsure how long she'd been sat there deep in thought, it hadn't even crossed her mind to check the time but she knew it would be too late to return to college now. Going home would no doubt result in another confrontation with Katie, something she was desperately trying to put off but inevitably was going to have to face whether she liked it or not.

Almost half an hour later she arrived on the street she knew only too well, it had taken her twice as long as it usually did on that same route she used everyday.
Her house came into view and she started to take small tentative steps as she walked onto the driveway path and towards the front door whilst rummaging in her bag for a key. Stopping momentarily at the door Emily took a deep breath before inserting her key into the lock trying to open the door as quietly as possible, not wanting to draw unwanted attention to herself. Too late, Katie was already stood by the stairs waiting for her, arms folded with a thoroughly pissed off expression on her face.

"WHERE the fuck have you been?" she snapped, her voice cold.

Unsure of what to say Emily stood in the doorway and looked down at her feet, all she could manage was a barely audible mumble "It doesn't matter."

Katie was seething "YOU had a go at ME remember? Then you ignore me all afternoon and now you won't tell me where you've been. Do you really expect me to just drop it?"

All of her emotions were colliding and before she knew what she was doing Emily slammed the door shut behind her."I don't want to talk about it, ok?"

Avoiding any eye contact she sloped off into the kitchen but it was clear Katie wasn't going to let her get away with it that easily. "Don't walk away from me Emily." Storming into the kitchen she grabbed hold of her sister's shoulders and spun her around, yelling into her face "I know you were with that bloody Naomi Campbell so don't even fucking try to deny it."

Taking a step back Emily gulped as her eyes began to tear up. "So what if I was?"

Katie glared at her "So she's a fucking lezza, if you start hanging around with her then we're going to get tarred with the same brush…I'm not having you or her mess things up for me." Every word she spoke was full of bitterness and pure hatred.

Why was Katie so selfish and full of hate? Her own twin, who was so self absorbed and persistent in trying to rule every aspect of Emily's life, she either didn't realise or just didn't care what she was doing to her. Slowly but surely, Katie was bringing her down and as usual she couldn't fight it.

Glancing for a moment into her sisters icy eyes Emily sighed silently and looked away. "Just leave it Katie…I'm going upstairs." Without giving Katie a chance to respond she turned on her heels and ran from the room feeling totally defeated.

Review me please. =]
