A/N: I'm glad Katie riled some of you up a bit… I think her anger is just misdirected… anyway all will be figured out with time… ;)
I'll do the lengthy thank yous at the bottom, but for now Just notice this chapter is in more than one PoV.
( I woke up at fucking 7:30 am, can't sleep, so decided to write… cheers to that…)
Chapter 8 (Emily's PoV)
It must've been really late when I finally fell asleep. I finally gave in to my head, and got out of bed. What time is it… Fuck! SHIT! 10:40 AM. WHAT THE FUCK! I can't believe Effy didn't wake me up. I started rushing around the room and I was about to grab my uniform when I noticed there was a yellow sticky note plastered to my forehead.
"You looked like shit even when you were sleeping, so I managed to get you the day off. –E"
Thanks. Wait… I look like shit? I walked over to her bathroom and tried to push the door open.
"What the fuck…" The door wouldn't move.
Naomi's PoV
"Shit. Shit. Shit." The door rattled some more. I could hear Emily clearly getting riled up. I don't know where all her patience went, but if I didn't open the fucking door soon she was definitely going to rip it off. I leaned on the counter and tried to prepare myself for whatever the fuck was going to happen. I just knew I couldn't control myself around Emily.
"Come on Naomi. It's ok." I laughed at myself. Who the fuck stands in front of their mirror and gives themselves pep-talks because they are afraid of a fucking girl… I corrected myself… What girl stands in front of a fucking mirror giving herself pep-talks because she's afraid to talk to some other fucking girl… Just you Naomi…
The door slammed open, breaking the hinges and I just barely managed to hop into the shower and get out of the way. Emily was sprawled out on top of the door resting on the floor, not saying anything.
"Oh my god Emily, are you okay?"
She looked up. Thank fuck she's alright. Kind of… she looked like shit…
"You know, you could've just knocked…" I smiled. Clearly she needed some cheering up. I was highly rewarded when she started laughing like I'd told the funniest joke in the world. I mean, I knew it was really corny, so I was surprised she laughed at all. I couldn't help myself but join in on her lovely laughter as I slipped down the shower into a heap.
I'm not sure how long we were sitting there, me at the bottom of the shower, and Emily on top of the door… Emily's laugh suddenly turned into all out crying. I almost panicked. I wanted to run away. Maybe if I didn't see her crying she wasn't really sad. I internally yelled at myself. It's not fucking fair Naomi for you to see happy Emily and then run away from Emily's pain as if it's not there. She deserves someone to help her. Still nervous, I climbed out of the shower and tried to pull her off of the door and get her back on her bed. I held her, I tried to stop her violent shaking, I brushed the hair out of her tears, I wiped those tears away.
When it seemed like she was all out of tears she just laid her head on my lap and took deep breathes. I was on the verge of crying as well, it hurt so much to see Emily so hurt, so broken. I felt her voice vibrating on my legs when she finally decided to try and talk.
"What is his name, Naomi?"
What the fuck was she talking about…
"Your boyfriend, Naomi, what is it name?" I felt a tear drip onto my leg.
I wanted to run. To disappear. Vanish. But I was trapped under the beautiful creature laying on me. I was trapped by our connection. I couldn't run forever, I was tired.
"I—" I took a deep breathe. "I don't have one Emily."
I felt my eyes burning as the hot water started to pour out of them.
Emily's PoV-
I should be mad. I should be so mad. I fucking cried for hours because of her fucking boyfriend. But all I felt was happiness. I had my answer, Effy answered me last night. Naomi is just scared, she'll come around.
All too quickly, I was aware of my face touching her legs. I wanted to kiss them, tell them I forgive her for lying to me. Kiss her and tell her I'm scared too. Kiss her and tell her everything is okay. Kiss her and tell her I was going to be okay.
I sat up and looked into the blue eyes next to me, gazing right back at me deep into my soul. I shuddered, and made no attempt to hide it. She was breathing heavily from her crying, I probably was too. I wanted it all to go away. I leaned in so close to her, I could feel her hot breath tingling on my lips.
"You bring me to life Naomi."
She was eyeing my lips, and her breath hitched. Naomi is confident. I know ultimately, she'll follow her heart. I was looking for an answer in her eyes, but she hid them from me behind her eyelids and leaned in the rest of the way. I found the answer in her kiss, not in her eyes. It was only seconds, but it told me more than enough.
"I need you Emily." She whispered when she pulled away.
"I need you too." I whispered back and went back to laying on her, leaning in to her touch every time she swept my hair behind my ear.
I felt her relax against the wall behind the bed, but we were both still crying. It was okay though, to cry together. A light kiss was all I needed. It was a promise. A promise to give each other a chance. No escaping, no running.
Shewritesforher- THANKS! Appreciate your feedback as always, the reassurance was helpful.
HappyAsIAm- THANKS! I kind of wanted people to hate her. You know one until I do a 180 and people start to see things Katie's way. Don't worry misunderstanding will be cleared up soon enough… Won't have to hate too long.
MuffMuncher-THANKS! Happy to see you reviewing again ;) And fuck yeah. So be it. (lol)
Alrighty then… Sorry that chapter was a bit short… I just want to keep it in parts of the same err substance I guess. Don't want to throw more than one big event in a chapter, that way I have something to look forward to in the next one… I'll possibly have another update up later today, who knows… (could it really be 3 chapters in 2 days :o….? )
Thanks to the people who favorited/alerted… you know xD
