Finish Uni for Xmas tomorrow. Plan to finish this story next week. Once again, apologises for the lack of updates in recent times.
Enjoy reading!
Emily can't bear to look at the ruins of the pub. Katie bravery (or stupidity) as some would see, seemed to be to no avail. Suddenly, Cook spots a figure coming out of the alleyway, with a blond girl on the shoulder.
"Emily, Emily?" Cook said, pointing at what he had just seen.
"Katie, Naomi, Katie, Naomi!" Emily shouted as she ran down to where Katie and Naomi had appeared. Cook and JJ tried to keep up with her athletic speed.
Katie was coughing, but seemed to have escaped unscathed, but Naomi looked rather motionless.
"Is she breathing?" Emily said to the paramedic on the scene.
"She has a pulse, but it's rather weak." The paramedic replied.
Naomi was lifted into the ambulance and Cook insisted to go with Naomi, reasoning with Emily that it was best for a strong person to be by her side.
Emily fell into Katie's arms, as Katie went in another ambulance; she also needed checking up after a lucky escape.
Incredibly, Naomi's injuries were restricted to cracked ribs, cuts, bruises and minor burns to her back. She came round and over the next few days, and everyone went to see her in hospital, except the twins. Katie was keeping a vigil beside a very critical Thomas, so her excuse was very understandable. However, Emily had turned all cold and not seen Naomi; she deliberately moved her focus and attention onto her move to Barcelona with Alicia. Her behaviour was questioned by Cook to a degree, but massively by Katie.
With Thomas needing treatment on his serious injuries and at his interfering mother's request, was going to continue his rehabilitation in a top-class hospital in Paris, Katie started to turn her attention towards Emily and Naomi's relationship. As the Fitches had a final family meal the night before Emily's departure, Katie was biting her tongue with her feelings. However, when the twins were together, with no-one else around, Katie wasn't going to let Emily make the biggest mistake of her life and would speak her mind . . .
"Why are you doing this?" Katie said, as Emily packed her final belongings for the trip, including perfume and passport.
"What?" Emily replied, pretending not to care.
"Come off it Ems, Naomi. Why didn't you see her at the hospital?" Katie said, her voice still sounding a bit hoarse from the fire.
"I had stuff to do, you know?" Emily said.
"Oh pack it in bitch! Your reaction when you thought Naomi and I didn't make it out of the tavern speaks volumes!" Katie replied.
"Fuck off Katie. I love Alicia, and if Naomi and you can't cope with that, tough!" Emily said, as voices were rising.
"And where exactly is Alicia? I mean, Naomi's no saint, but compared to Alicia, she's a goddess!" Katie said.
"Well if you think, maybe you should fuck her then. I bet you'd both love that!" Emily shouted. She didn't mean it, but it came out really badly.
Katie slapped Emily with such force that it floored Emily briefly.
"You fucking selfish cow!" Katie shouted, before grabbing her jacket and storming out.
Katie had two tickets to Australia in her jacket. She had initially got them for her and Thomas. However, with Thomas not around now, they needed some use. Initially, the plan was for her to give the tickets to Emily, to see if it could change her mind. Now, it was Naomi's turn, but Emily's words started to ring around Katie's head as she drove away towards Naomi.
Their relationship had been full of ups-and-downs. I mean, this was the woman who stabbed her, called her all sorts-of-names. Also, this was the woman who had been the most supporting when she found out she couldn't have any kids, the woman who had been there for her very closely in recent months. Maybe, she wanted to see what it was like.
At Naomi's, she was packing as well. Having made a decent recovery, she was going to Goldsmith's in a couple of day's time, to study Art and American Studies at University. She got a ring on her bell, still hoping in the back of her mind that Emily might change her thoughts and decide to start a future together.
She opened the door to find Katie standing infront of her, the first time she'd seen her in two weeks, since Katie rescued her from near certain death in the pub.
"Katie, what can I do for you?" Naomi said.
Having thought over the conflicting emotions and Emily's words, Katie wanted to find out what it was really like. She dipped her head, leaned in and kissed Naomi. Naomi pulled away quickly; she looked totally surprised by Katie actions.
"What was that for?" Naomi said.
"Everything you've done for me and I'm so lonely. In fact, I think we are both lonely." Katie suggested.
Naomi put her hands on Katie's shoulders and removed Katie's jacket from her. She kissed Katie deeply, allowing her tongue to melt on Katie's soft, smooth lips.
Katie pulled away this time, was she teasing Naomi? It was wrong, it felt so wrong, but would she take it to another level?
