Chapter Twenty One

Emily

I had been a little distant from Naomi the last couple of days I knew she was worried about me and kept trying to get me to talk about stuff but I always found some excuse not to. I knew I was pulling away from her and it fucking hurt but I really thought it was for the best. What happened with the police the other night was still weighing heavily on my mind and I couldn't help but let it affect my mood and I was convinced all the stress was finally beginning to bring Naomi down. Katie hadn't given up at college the past couple of days and she was getting at Naomi more and more and she deserved better than to put up with that shit just because she was my girlfriend.

Tonight I was lying on my bed thinking about everything all over again when there was a knock on my door. I knew it would be Naomi and if the last two nights were anything to go by she was probably expecting me to tell her to go away but I didn't, there was something I needed to do and fuck me it was going to rip my heart to shreds but I needed to do what was going to be best for Naomi. My heart broke as she came in and sat on my bed next to me hugging me tightly "Em what's going on, I am worried sick about you."

I pulled away from her and tried to hold my tears back I needed to stay strong for this however hard it was going to be "I'm sorry I didn't mean to worry you I've just been doing a lot of thinking."

She looked concerned "What is it Em?"

I blinked back a tear "We have to break up Naoms…"

She quickly cut me off "No Emily, don't do this please."

I shook my head "I'm doing this for you, I am breaking my own heart here but you deserve so much better I'm not good enough for you Naoms. I am fucking damaged goods and I can't give you what you need I can't even begin to think about when I will be ready to sleep with you. I don't want to put you through that. I also can't bear to see the stress that Katie is putting you through for being with me. You deserve so much better Naomi and as much as this is hurting me I can't put you through any of this anymore."

The tears that had formed in my eyes spilt free I couldn't hold them back any longer, it hurt so much and look of hurt on Naomi's face made it all so much worse. Her own tears were falling "Don't do this Em, you're breaking my heart. I don't care about anything I just want to be with you."

I shook my head "I can't Naoms I have to set you free."

She looked completely broken as she stood to leave my room her tears still falling "This isn't the end Em, I am going to prove to you that we can make this work… that we are meant to be together."

As she closed the door behind her I buried my head in my pillows just letting my tears falling feeling so fucking empty, all I wanted was a black hole to open and swallow me, life wasn't worth it now.

The following morning I woke feeling so fucking empty, I didn't want to move from my bed but I knew I had to face Naomi eventually. I did however leave it to the last minute. I made my way downstairs knowing Naomi wouldn't leave me to walk to college on my own however much she might hate me at the moment. I tried to avoid her gaze as she stood waiting for me, the pain I could see that remained in her eyes breaking my heart even more. We walked to college together in silence and fuck I missed the feel of her hand in mine. I knew I had done this for Naomi but honestly I was seriously, seriously fucking regretting throwing this away. This pain hurt even more than the pain from being attacked. I honestly feel like my heart has completely broken in two.

Once we reached college I made my excuses about needing to go and find Cook just so I could get away from Naomi before I relented and just pulled her into my arms.

Naomi

I walked into college feeling so numb all I wanted was to be with Emily, I don't fucking care about anything else, as numb as I was feeling right now though I was going to fight for my girl. I leant against the lockers trying to figure out what I was going to do when Katie walked over smirking, I felt the numbness slowly turning to anger as she stopped in front of me "So Emily finally saw sense and dumped you then?"

My face fell "How did you…"

She cut me off "I didn't but you just confirmed it, I guessed as you look shit, well even shitter than usual."

My anger completely took hold of my body as I started screaming at Katie not caring about everyone staring "I want Emily so fucking much and I know she wants me too, this is your fucking fault she only did this because of the shit you keep stirring up trying to make her life miserable. Well, well done Katie because it would appear that you have fucking succeeded."

I wanted so much to wipe the smirk off her face as she revelled in both our misery. I lifted my arm to slap her but felt someone grab me from behind. I heard Effy's voice behind me "She's not worth it Naomi. Just forget about her, your focus needs to be getting your girl back."

I turned to her a tear slipping from my eye "Will you help me Eff, I can' be without her."

She nodded before leading me away from Katie."

By lunchtime I was feeling a lot better within myself. I was going to get my girl back I was determined and I know my friends would all rip the shit out of me as cold hearted Naomi Campbell was about to lay her heart on the line in front of whoever was there and not caring about what they thought. With Effy's help I had a banner hanging from the lockers, I had done my best but art never was my strong point, the main thing is it said exactly what I wanted Emily to know 'You are my world Emily Fitch.' I stood nervously as I waited; Effy had gone off to find Emily promising me she would bring her to me. My heart skipped a beat when I saw my gorgeous redhead a few metres away from me. I panicked a little when she tried to walk away again but Effy shot me a look which told me to fight. I took a step towards Emily "Just hear me out Em, please."

My heart was hammering in my chest as I waited to see what she was going to do, thankfully she nodded her head and I knew I had my chance to get my happiness back. I took a deep breath knowing I couldn't mess this up "I want you Em, when I realised all those weeks ago how I felt about you it scared the shit out of me but I knew I couldn't fight these feelings and that is the same now. You say you are damaged and not good enough for me but if anything I am not good enough for you, all I see when I look at you is a beautiful, gorgeous, kind, sexy, cute girl. I could go on but most of all what I want you to know Em is that I love you, I know we haven't been together for long but I know exactly how I feel and as I've said before I will take this as slow as you need. I don't care about anything but being with you. I will say it again, I love you Emily Fitch and I will stand here telling you as many times as I need to."

Emily

I stood in front of Naomi my heart beating so fast as she really lay her heart on the line. I could tell she was worried as time ticked by and I hadn't said anything. I honestly didn't know what to say. I wanted Naomi so much and I know I had my reasons for breaking things off but after that heartfelt speech not caring what anyone around her thought I couldn't resist her, there was something inside me telling me that we could overcome anything as long as we were together. I was kidding myself to think I could stay away from her. I stepped closer to her and pulled her into my arms pushing her back against the lockers our lips crashing together as it felt like we were the only two around. I know it had only been one day, well three really as I'd spent a couple of days avoiding her but fuck me I had missed the feel of her lips against mine. I pulled away from her gasping for air as I looked straight into Naomi's eyes smiling "I love you too Naoms." I paused "Are you sure you want to take me on?"

She kissed me softly before pulling back smiling "I've never been so sure about anything in my life."

I honestly felt like I was floating on cloud nine as Naomi wrapped me in her arms. It was only when Katie marched over that some tension crept back in, she tugged on my arm trying to pull me away from Naomi "You can't be with her Emily, it's not right you need to find yourself a hot lad. She also tried to smack me earlier; she tried to hurt your sister."

I stood my ground and completely ignored her comment about my lifestyle. I just smiled slightly trying not to laugh "Yeah I heard, it's a shame Eff stopped her."

I couldn't help but laugh at the look on Katie's face as I grabbed Naomi's hand and pulled her down the corridor. I took her round to the back of the college where it was quiet. I smiled slightly "We need to talk Naoms."

Her face dropped slightly "You're not going to end it again are you?"

I kissed her softly "No."

She smiled "Good, I never want to feel like that again."

We sat down and cuddled together "I'm sorry I hurt you Naoms, I honestly thought I was doing the right thing especially after that stunt my mum pulled. I could see the stress it caused and I didn't want you caught up any more than you already were in my mess."

She hugged me tighter "I can see what you were trying to do but honestly Em I want to be with you and if that means taking shit from your family then bring it on. I also truly mean it when I say we will take this as slow as you want. I don't care if we don't ever sleep together."

I laughed a little "I do, there is nothing I want more I'm just not ready yet, I will be though."

She kissed me softly "Well I'm not going anywhere."

I kissed her again "I guess we better get back inside."

She leant her forehead against mine "How about we skip college this afternoon and just spend some time together."

I smiled "Does this time involve being cuddled close to you kissing?"

She smirked "Definitely yes."

I kissed her once again "What are we waiting for then?"

She laughed as she stood up pulling me up with her as we made a break for it just wanting to spend as much time together as possible.
