"Effy" Emily yelled, chasing after Effy as she swept the boy out of the club.
"Effy please wait!"
Effy came to an abrupt halt and swivelled around, facing a shocked Emily.
"I'm done Emily."
The boy drunkenly wrapped his arms around Effy's shoulders and whispered in her ear,
"Come on babe, let's go and feel alright"
Emily looked into Effy's deep brown eyes, pleading her to stay.
"Why do you look at me like that Emily? I'm not yours, so why won't you let me go?" As always, Effys words had hit a weak spot within Emily, and she knew it.
"I-I don't know" a tear slid down Emily's cheek. Why couldn't she let Effy go? She was right, Effy didn't belong to her, so why did it hurt her so much to see another hand gripped around the brunettes pale shoulders?
"Babe, lets leave this ugly dyke and get the fuck out of here already" The boy gripped Effy harder and tried to drag her out of the crowd that had gathered around their argument. After getting Effy out of the door, the boy let her slump against the wall, and then went back inside; he wasn't done with Emily yet.
"Oi, you, fucking, dyke" he spat in her face, making the already angry and upset Emily go into a frenzy. Emily wiped the spit off of her cheek then stepped towards the boy. Her left hand swung back and smacked him in the face, closely followed by her right hand crunching into his jaw.
"You little shit" he yelled and charged towards Emily punching her right in the eye. Emily fell back into the crowd, caught by a kind bystander. When she re-opened her eyes, Effy and her boy had disappeared.
Emily groaned as she leaned forwards, her ribs aching from the fall, and hoisted herself up from the ground. She lent over and took off her shoes, then left the empty club with tears welling up in her eyes. Once she got on the street, she realized that she had nowhere to go. Things had been difficult for her at home, she hated lying to her family about Naomi, especially Katie, but she knew if they found out, she wouldn't have a home to go back to at all. Usually she would crash at Effys on a night like this. Anthea almost treated Emily as her own daughter, tucking her into bed, making sure she was comfortable, never asking questions. Emily would always wake up to a smile, coffee and aspirin, and her bacon sandwiches in the morning were to die for.
Emily walked aimlessly for hours, occasionally stubling on a broken shard of glass or an abandoned beer lid, she didn't even notice when that her feet had subconsciously taken her to the bridge. Their bridge, the one that Emily and Naomi would come to when they were in trouble, and man, was Emily in trouble.
Her feet stung as she made her way through a thick bush to get to the ladder propped up against the demolished side of the bridge. She waved her arms wildly in the dark air until she felt a rung of the ladder, and then blindly climbed up onto the bridge.
It looked different in the dark, without Naomi there to occupy her. It was almost scary. Emily was haunted by memories she had had up here, picnics, star gazing and smoking spliffs with her girlfriend. Once Naomi had even surprised Emily by bringing a scrabble board along with her. Emily sniggered, remembering Naomi's excitement when she had won a triple word score with the word H-E-R-P-E-S. Emily should have been happy with these memories, they were some of the best days of her life. But she wasn't. Memories of her and Effy would always interrupt her thoughts, Emily would never forget the day Effy had rang her crying. Before that Emily had never heard Effy cry before, but there she was, sniffling and sobbing down the phone. It was the weakest she had ever seen her best friend before. Tony, Effys older brother had been hit by a bus. She knew it was a bit sadistic, but Emily was sort of happy that it had happened, if it hadn't it would have been doubtful her and Effy would have ever really bonded.
Emily sat down on the low wall running along the side of the bridge and swung her legs over the side. Naomi hated it when Emily did this, but Emily loved it. She relished in the sudden rush of adrenaline as she would scoot nearer and nearer to the 20ft drop beneath her. She never actually thought of jumping, not really.
Not until now.
How easy would it be just to fall from this ledge? Leave behind all the heartbreak. Emily had waited 3 years to be with Naomi, why did Effy have to ruin it all now?
A sound from Emilys pocket made her jump. She reluctantly swung her legs back onto the bridge and lifted her phone from her pocket, flipping it open and bringing it to her ear.
"I thought you said you were going to ring me?" Emily could almost see the smile on Naomi's face, she loved it when she could tease Emily for forgetting things.
"Sorry Nai, the night lasted a little longer than expected."
There was a sharp intake of breath from Naomi, then a long pause.
"I'm sorry Em."
"Wait... what? Your sorry I-"
"I shouldn't of told her, it was silly of me"
Emily scrunched her nose up in confusion
"Told who what?"
Emily heard a sigh and then "Shit"
"Told-Who-What Naomi?"
Emily whispered almost threateningly into the phone.
"I told Effy… about us"
Emily slammed the phone down and curled her legs up against her chest. She didn't know what to think anymore. Is that why E was being so weird? Was she…jealous?
*beep* a message flashed up onto her phones screen.
-Em, where are you?-
Emily struggled with her cold fingers to text back.
-I'm at the bridge, please come and get me-
-I'll be 5 minutes, don't move anywhere.-
