A/N- Thanks for the reviews people, you have no idea how difficult it was to wright Effy's part last chapter. Let me just say that I'm sorry if it upset anyone, that wasn't my intent, also I know how Effy would have felt. For that part of the chapter I drew on my own experiences.

Abnab- well now, of course it's always great when Effy and Katie are together, they're brilliant as a couple. Here's hoping that Katie does realise eh? Would be interesting to see her reaction :P *hands out a cookie*

reddawg82- Now now dear, I know you like Naomi/Katie interactions ;) *hands out a cookie*

Katie got changed quickly, still furious with herself for letting so much out and to Naomi fucking Campbell no less. Tugging her tight top back on quickly she stormed out of the changing rooms of the water park and hurried off. She didn't know where she was going to go, she certainly couldn't go back home, not with Emily still there. There was no way in hell she was going to Naomi's either, or Effy's.

"Fuck!"

She muttered to herself as she started to wander around the streets of Bristol, caught up in her own little world. She came to a stop in a little park and sat herself down on a bench reaching inside her jacket for a cigarette, lighting it up quickly. She took in a large drag and held her other hand up, the hand holding her lighter. She chewed at the inside of her mouth as she looked at the single K that was burned into the silver metal.


Katie sighed as she looked across the water, thinking about how shit her life was becoming. She raised her hand to her head, to where the scars from Effy's attack resided. It was the day after the Love Ball, the day after her fight with Emily. She knew she still had a black eye and her lips were swollen.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

A soft voice spoke from behind, Katie looked over her shoulder and growled in anger.

"Fuck off!"

Effy sighed and sat down next to the red head.

"I thought I told you fuck off bitch!"

"Katie...I am sorry. You know that right?"

"Well that makes everything so much fucking better doesn't it!"

Katie shot out, feeling anger and rage coursing through her body.

"You ruined everything for me! You took my boyfriend! I bet you even fucking helped Naomi to steal Emily from me!"

"Katie...Freddie was...a mistake. You can have him if you want him?"

"What!"

Katie looked shocked and outraged.

"You put me through all that shit to get Freddie for yourself and now you just drop him."

"Katie, Goblers End wasn't just my fault."

Katie opened her mouth to shoot back a retort, then saw the look in Effy's eyes and closed her mouth.

"...Yeah, guess your right."

"And as for Naomi, she would have realised it eventually. I just opened her eyes to the fact that they loved each other sooner. You know they're meant to be together Katie, you know they love each other."

"Yeah I know."

Katie whispered, almost to herself her head bowed before she turned it to face the brunette.

"Why are you being nice to me?"

"Life's too short."

"You're such a fucking cliché."

Effy let out a little chuckle before shrugging her shoulders and taking out a little cigerette case and lighter. She extracted a fag and offered it to Katie.

"No thanks, don't smoke."

"Why not?"

Katie snorted.

"Errm cancer."

Once again Effy shrugged and started to put the cigarette into her mouth before Katie snapped.

"Oh fuck it, give it here!"

Effy let a little smirk creep onto her face as she passed the cigarette over to the girl. Katie slipped it between her lips and Effy lent forward with lighter flicked open and a flame emitting from it. Katie allowed Effy to help the light the fag and took a deep intake of it. Feeling the nicotine already beginning to course through, then she started to cough as the smoke caught in her lungs. Effy let out a chuckle and shook her head.

"No, like this, two breaths in then release."

The brunette placed her hand on Katie chest and the red head felt a thrill of something shoot through her.

"Now breath."

Effy ordered and Katie quickly complied.

"And then again."

Once again Katie obeyed the brunette.

"And then out."

Katie breathed out, only coughing once, watching a stream of smoke shoot out of her mouth. Effy smiled a little and nodded.

"Better."

Katie smiled back, a warmer one than before before she realised that she was sitting with Effy fucking Stonem. She snorted and glared at her.

"Well if you do it then I've definitely gotta be able to."

Effy was silent for a moment, examining Katie with those piercing blue eyes of hers, and Katie was sure she could see sadness in her blue orbs. Just as quickly as Katie had seen it it was gone, replaced with no identifiable emotion. The brunette stood up and made to move off, but stopped for a moment and passed the lighter over to her.

"Here, everyone needs a zippo."

Katie accepted it suspiciously.

"Thanks."

"See ya around Katie."

Effy said simply before heading off, Katie watched her back for a moment before turning her attention to the lighter and the single letter that had been burned into it; a K.


"Shit!" Katie exclaimed as she felt the first drops of rain land on her head. She stood up and looked around wildly, she hurried out of the park and took stock of her surroundings. "Buggeration and fuckery!" Katie swore again as she realised that Effy's was the closest place she could go to for shelter. Swearing to herself again Katie hurried off towards the brunette's house. By the time she reached it she was soaked to the bone, hurriedly she knocked on the door and watched as a shadow approached the door, opening it.

"Oh!...Hey Katie."

Effy muttered, Katie forgot completely about the rain falling on her as she took the brunette in, dressed in a baggy old t-shirt. The red head lowered her eyes to her legs and ran her gaze up them as they disappeared up into the t-shirt.

"I take it you want to come in?"

Effy asked, pulling Katie back out of her mind. She quickly nodded and hurried in when the other girl moved aside for for her. Effy quickly shut the door and glanced at her in interest.

"I'll just nip upstairs and see if I've got anything you can change into, head on into the kitchen."

Effy stated simply before moving to the stairs and starting up them, leaving Katie alone in the hallway.

"Fucking useless hostess bitch."

Katie muttered to herself as she headed into the kitchen. She stopped short as she saw a taller, older, and similarly scantly clad blonde haired girl sat at the table, nursing a cup of something. The blonde turned her head and broke into a wide grin.

"Oh wow! Your, like, all...wet."

The way the girl said it sent a shiver down the red head's spine and into her cunt.

I definitely need a shag, Katie thought to herself.

"Well that's because it's fucking pissing it down."

"Wow! Cool, I love the rain, it's like someone's crying on us."

Katie just stared at the girl just as Effy re-entered the room, clothes in her arms. Katie turned to Effy, relief evident on her face, Effy grinned as she saw her face and nodded.

"I know, she could give Panda a run for her money. or rather Panda could give her a run for her money."

Katie let out a small chuckle.

"Yeah."

"Anyway, this is Cassie, Cassie this is Katie. Cassie's staying here for a bit, my dear brother doesn't think I can look after myself."

Katie picked up on the sarcastic tone as Effy mentioned her brother and found herself curious to know more.

"Although there are some benefits to me being here."

Cassie said, winking slightly, Effy smirked a little before passing the clothes over to the Fitch sister.

"Here's some clothes, you can use the bathroom if you want." Katie nodded and headed out of the kitchen, upstairs and into the bathroom. It was only when she was partway of pulling on a t-shirt that Cassie's words, along with the wink and the way they were both dressed, made sense; they'd slept together. The first feeling Katie experienced was one of nausea before a larger feeling surged through her; jealousy.

A/N- Oh Cassie and you sexual innuendo, we never get tired of it...well I don't anyway. Hope you all enjoyed this and it may have taken Katie some time to realise bout Effy and Cassie but she got there eventually.
