-------------------------------------------------

The night was a short one, and soon both Naomi and Emily had fallen into a deep slumber. Emily had opted to stay the night in her lover's room instead of the one that Mrs. Campbell had given her. The red head needed the support of the blond more than she ever thought possible, and even though they were both in their own dreams, her hand subconsciously found the one belonging to her love. Tomorrow would be a big day, full of choices and decisions that neither one wanted to make, but they would do it… together.

---------------------------------------------------------

The sun hadn't even started to rise over the horizon but the younger twin's eyes were wide open and looking up at the ceiling. She had thought about waking up Naomi, but after watching her for a while in the dark, she opted not to. Emily slipped from the bed, making sure the heavy blankets were covering the nearly naked body of her lover. Her steps were silent and she was able to find her bag in the dark and sifted through its contents. She felt the two things she was looking for and pulled them out before moving from Naomi's room and into her own.

Fingertips flipped the light switch on, now that she was alone, and she opened up her notebook to the very last page. Chocolate orbs looked down at the empty page and she clicked the purple pen open and brought it down to the clean white paper. Her hands were shaking so much that she had to take a few breaths to calm herself. Emily scribbled a few words in vertical lines down one side of the page, followed by another set of words on the opposite side. She had never really done a pro vs. con list before, so she was struggling with it, but she knew it needed to be done.

The weight of the situation she was in was weighing heavily on the twin as she scribbled page after page of pros and cons. One list contained the goods and bads of living with Naomi and her mother, the other the pros and cons if they were to get their own place. Both ended up being fairly even, which didn't help the red head out one bit. A bit of a sigh slipped through her lips as she sat in silence. Her legs were crossed underneath her and her back leaned against the cold wall that the bed was pushed up against.

She wasn't ready for this. Wasn't ready to be out on her own, and wasn't ready to be living full time with Naomi and her mother. Maybe she just needed to get a place for herself, that way both her and Naomi could have their own space away from each other if it was needed. Emily completed a third pros/cons list, and this one had many more positive aspects than it had negative ones. With a nod of her head she ripped out a piece of paper and wrote a note to Naomi before slipping into some clothes. She moved back into the bedroom of her love and set the note on the bedside table before walking out of the bedroom, and out of the house.

---------------------------------------------------------

She was groggy and tired. Even with almost 10 hours of sleep, the blond still felt like she needed to close her eyes and go back to dreaming. She had been up for a mere 20 seconds when she realized that her lovely red headed girlfriend wasn't still in bed with her. Her body was forced into sitting up and crystal blue eyes searched the room, then the connected bathroom before she noticed the note on the table. Nervously, Naomi picked up the carefully folded paper, in the shape of a heart no less, and opened it.

Naomi,

I've gone out to look at some of the flats around town. I'm sure that my dad can get me a good price on one of them since the owner goes to his gym. We can talk about it later when I come back. I'm going to stop by the gym to see my dad as well. I love you.

Emily

By the time she had finished reading it, she was shaking. There was no good reason why, but she was. Was this Emily's way of telling her that she didn't want to live with her… or was she finding a flat for the both of them to live in? Her hand reached over and grabbed her phone before punching in Emily's phone number. After a good minute and a half of ringing, it went to voicemail. Naomi closed her phone and stared at it. Emily always picked up for her. Why wasn't she picking it up now?

Naomi shook her head to herself. Why was she all worked up about this? She took in a deep breath and let it out slowly before dragging herself out of bed to take a shower and get dressed. She needed to find her Emily, she just had to.
