I apologize for how long it took to update this one, but I have just spent the last week, packing/moving back into halls at Uni, for my last year!
If anyone wants to know the song I think suits Naomi's final hour, it was Laura Pausini - It's not goodbye ...I can't stop listening to it!
You Guys... *Blushes*...Seriously; Thank You. Honestly as most writers know, sometimes even one comment can make you worried your story is not good enough, so the fact that you all told me is good; just makes me smile and feel a lot better! I had some awesome long in depth reviews for the last chapter, which was really good, because it really helped me see that you understand this...Yay! Lol!
Enjoy x
Set after Series 4. Naomi Campbell should have known being with Emily wouldn't be easy, but this time its something a lot bigger then just an affair that's threatening to tear them apart, this time it's a life threatening accident.
Naomi's erratic breathing had eased, her chest was no longer heaving, that had stopped once her tear ducts had run dry; her sobs subsiding. She was still sprawled across her girlfriend, her head laying upon her chest, breathing in her sweet scent; she wished she could bottle it and take it with her. Her hand was on Em's arm, her fingers running little patterns across the soft skin, even to this day her fingertips tingled every time they touched the redhead. She wasn't sure how long she had been lying there, it felt like hours, when it had probably only been half an hour. She dreaded the door opening, because then it would mean her time was up, she would have to leave; and she wasn't quite sure how she was going to do that.
Naomi closed her eyes, moving her hand down Emily's arm, until she found her hand; where she let her fingers entwine with her girlfriends. If she shut out the noise of the hospital, the noise of the machines, and just blocked it all out; she could pretend they were elsewhere. Maybe if she pretended for long enough, hard enough, then maybe when she opened her eyes; this would all be some stupid dream, they would still be in Goa. Naomi would give anything to wake up beside Em in their hotel room, the red head curled into her side, as she did most mornings; because Naomi liked taking up most of the bed, whilst Em liked being as close to her as she could get. That was one of the things she missed, waking up in the arms of her girlfriend, or waking up to find Emily had been awake for over an hour; just sitting up and watching her sleep.
Naomi let out a shaky sigh, her thoughts momentarily disrupted by the beeping machines, she found herself back in the hospital room. She glanced over to the door, making eye contact with Effy, who had turned to look through the window; to watch Naomi with Emily. The brunette blinked back at her, she had a sort of longing in her eyes, that told Naomi she was thinking about how much she wished she could have had a final hour with Freddie. Naomi stared back at her, until eventually Effy smiled weakly, turning away from the window; giving the blonde her privacy back. She bit her bottom lip, closing her eyes again, she pressed herself as close as she could to her girlfriend; surely her one hour was nearly up.
Sure enough, the door to the hospital room flung open, the sound of people entering filling her ears. Naomi clung to Emily, keeping her eyes closed, praying for a few more moments together. "Naomi" called a small voice, "Have you fallen asleep, babes". Naomi slowly opened her eyes, finding Katie standing beside the bed, her back bent slightly; so she could peer into the blondes face. "I can't do it" Naomi mumbled, fresh tears welling in her eyes; how could she have ever thought this would be possible. She knew it was for the best, it was the only way to save her girlfriend, but she couldn't do it; she couldn't imagine living without Emily by her side. She felt her heart shudder, her breathing was slowly becoming erratic again, as she started to panic; she couldn't even breath without Emily by her side. "You don't have to babes" Katie replied, a small smile spreading across her face. Naomi pushed herself up, until she was sitting, her hand still entwined with Em's.
She frowned at the older twin, who had now straightened out, "What?" Naomi stuttered. "She's gone Nai" Effy piped up, from over by the door; where she stood with Cook and Rob. "Gone?" Naomi cried, her eyebrows rising, because surely they couldn't mean Jenna. Jenna the woman, who an hour ago had stood here in this very room, saying her mind was made up; telling her to leave Emily forever. Katie nodded, her grin bigger then ever as she replied, "Yeah, she's gone; she's not going through with it". Naomi felt her heart shudder, the weight that had been slowly increasing upon her lifted, she felt the butterflies awaken in her stomach; as they danced merrily at the information. Her eyes darted down to the red head beside her, her heart felt like it was forcing its way up her throat, trying to burst from within.
"Katie did a good job talking her round love" Rob spoke up, nodding towards his eldest daughter. Naomi looked to Katie, who nodded in agreement that she had been the one to change everything, the blonde felt her heart start to beat fast again. She slipped of the bed, throwing both her arms around the older twin, her guard finally slipping; as she sobbed loudly into her shoulder. Katie gasped; shocked by the blonde's reaction, but eventually she wrapped her own arms around her sister's girlfriend. "Thank you" Naomi cried, "Thank you so much". Katie nodded, as the blondes head curled into her neck, until she could feel the wet tears leaving Naomi's eyes like a burst dam.
Behind them, Effy had her own silent tears running down her cheeks, Cook had wrapped his arm around her; letting the brunette lean into his body. Rob sniffed a few times, rubbing his hand against his eyes, which had slowly filled with tears yet to fall. "Our Katie's a proper Fitch; she knows how to stand up for another Fitch, even if it is against her mother" Rob said, "You did good love". Katie smiled over Naomi's shoulder at her dad, "I only did what Emsy would have done for me, I told her she would no longer be my mum if she carried this out, if she got rid of you babes". Naomi pulled back from the embrace, staring at the twin, gobsmacked by how much Katie had matured since she had first found out about herself and Em dating; when she used to make their life hell.
"Thank you Katie, thank you so much, I fucking owe you so much" Naomi cried as smiled at the older twin, "I will even go as far as telling you, I fucking love you Katiekins". Katie laughed, rolling her eyes in a mock way, "I think you got the wrong twin, you big lezzer". Naomi laughed, her body was now heaving for a whole new reason, this time it was for a good reason. "I would never love you in that way Katie, but lets just say, I love you in a strange sisterly way" Naomi laughed, winking at her. They both giggled, pretending to be sick at the idea, but then Katie pulled the blonde back into the embrace.
"Erm guys" Cook shouted, catching their attention. He nodded towards the bed, causing both girls to swivel round, letting go of each other in the process. "Emsy" Katie gasped, as her eyes settled upon her twin, whose eyes were open. They both rushed to the bed, closely followed by Rob, who ran around the other side. "Emily" Naomi cried, grabbing the redhead's hand, but her girlfriend's eyes were vacant; just as they had been when Naomi had seen her lying on the concrete below their balcony. They were open, but none responsive, her eyes instead just staring up at the ceiling; a glazed over look to them. "Em can you hear me!" Naomi shouted, shaking her arm slightly; not wanting to hurt her.
Suddenly a strange noise came from the redhead; it came from her throat, a sort of gargling noise; as if she was trying to breathe. "Emily, can you hear us?" Rob asked, leaning over his daughter; but her eyes just stared right through him. The noise got louder; it turned into a sort of gagging noise, as if she was choking on something. "Shit" Katie cried, "Do something"; she shouted at no one in particular. Naomi felt new tears roll down her cheeks, as she watched her girlfriend struggling to breathe on her own, or so it seemed. "Em, please stay with me, please wake up" she sobbed, clutching at her arm. Cook swung the door open, "Help", he shouted loudly; stepping outside. "Some one help, something's wrong, someone help us".
WELL! I hope it's been worth the wait, however she may have opened her eyes/tried to breathe on her own, but as you can tell it does not mean she's out of danger just yet! So I really hope you liked the chapter and continue to read!
Whyyesitscar, I wish everyone's neighbour did the same as yours, because I tend to write my chapters listening to certain music to get my self in the moment, and I can tell you it was definitely a sad song moment!
Coolbeans17, I agree for any Naomily fan this is a hard read, because I'm a Naomily fan 100% and I end up welling with tears myself when I proof read each chapter before updating; even though I'm the one writing it! Ha... I'm a saddo right!
ROCKtheMEDIA, you deserve the shout outs, your reviews are so long and detailed; plus you seem to be understanding everything I want you all to get from this story, so your awesome =P
