Chapter Three

Despite the amazing long talk Naomi and Emily had about their future, Naomi was still worried about her girlfriend. It had been 3 days since the incident with Jenna and neither of them had spoken about it since. Jenna had turned up several times at their home and luckily each time Emily had not been home. Naomi hadn't told Emily about these fleeting visits, not wanting to upset Emily.

Emily, although she put on a happy face and was acting like everything was fine, Naomi knew it was just a front, But for Emily's sake, she went along with it, knowing the red head would once again open up to her when she was ready.

Emily wasn't the only concern that Naomi had in her mind though. Freddie leaving was one thing, but Cook had been missing for almost two weeks, something just wasn't right.

JJ had been over at their house everyday sometimes with Lara and baby Albert, going on and on about how he was worried about Cook and Freddie. Naomi can't help but agree with him.

She could have sworn she saw Cook outside the house once or twice, but it had been dark and the mysterious stranger had been wearing a hoodie, so she had put it down to the simple fact that she was missing him. He had become a close friend and she liked having him around.

Emily walked up behind Naomi and wrapped her arms round her waist as Naomi stood staring out the window

"hey you" Naomi smiled and turned round in her girlfriends arms, moving emily's so that they wrapped round her neck so she could pull the smaller girl closer towards her by the waist.

"hey" she leant in and gently pressed her lips against emily's, it was a soft kiss that only lasted for a few seconds, but it was full of love and adoration.

"whats wrong Naoms?" Emily could tell that something was bothering her girlfriend. Naomi opened her mouth to answer but was stopped in her tracks when her mobile rang. She placed a quick chaste kiss on emily's cheek before pulling it out of her pocket, she looked at the screen and found she did not recognise the number.

"i'm gunna take this outside ok" Emily nodded. Naomi quickly walked out into the backgarden before pressing the answer button

"Hello?"

"Naoms its me"

"Cook! where the hell are you"

"Naomi i need you to listen to me ok i need you to get to the shed, and bring everyone with you, Ems, Katie, Jaykins everyone but Effy!"

"why whats goin..."

"Naoms seriously i can't talk right now, just promise me you'll get everyone there, Karen knows your comin, you need to get everyone there in 20 minutes ok"

Naomi had never heard Cook sound so frantic, she couldn't think what could possibly have made him act like this

"Cook just fucking talk to me what the fuck is happening, why do i need to get everyone there and why not Effy, for christs sakes Cook i need you to tell me whats...."

"FREDDIES DEAD" Every single thought that was in Naomi's head suddenly disappeared and she found herself could hear Cook crying down the phone

"what.." She couldn't believe it...Freddie dead...it couldn't be true

"Freddie's dead...John Foster killed him" WTF Naomi thought

"John Foster..Effy's councellor..but why would he kill Freddie"

"Naomi i will explain everything at the shed, Karen and you are the only people that know, can u just get everyone their Naomikins, can you do that for me?"

Naomi felt tears fall down her face

"yeah i can do it, Shed, 20 minutes"

"right see ya then...bye Naoms" and with that he hung up. Naomi felt sick, she sat down on the deck chairs that were set out in her garden. So many questions going through her mind, why did John Foster kill Freddie?, why had Cook run away?, why hadn't he told them all sooner?, how long had he known?

The sound of the back door opening caused Naomi to look up. Emily ran over to her a look of concern on her face.

"That was Cook...its about Freddie" more tears fell down my cheeks

"well where is he...is he alright?" I shook my head and gulped as i tried to find my words

"he's dead" Emily covered her mouth in shock, tears fell from her eyes as she wrapped her arms around Naomi, sitting on her lap.

Neither of them said a word, just clung to each other, both girls mourning the loss of their friend.


"Cook whats going on?" JJ had a very scared look on his face, he was worried about both of his best friends and he knew by the look on his face that what ever he had to tell them, was not going to be good news.

The door opened and Karen walked in, walking instantly up to Cook and wrapping her arms around his neck, crying into his shoulder. Cook looked into the eyes of all of his friends as he held Karen tight

"Its Freddie...Freddie's dead" all the noise disappeared from the Shed, everyone too shocked to speak

"No" it was JJ that spoke first "No Cook you must be mistaken, Freddie can;t be dead because if Freddie's dead then that means i can never see him or speak to him again and we were supposed to go to the beach for his birthday and i'd planned the whole fucking day and and and...." JJ started banging his head with his fists. Katie ran over to him and tried her best to calm him down.

"Locked on JJ, please you need to calm down yeah, Freddie wouldn't want you getting so upset" Katie pulled JJ into hug as tears fell down her face.

"Is it true?" Panda asked her eyes shining with tears

"of course its fucking true, do you really think we'd make up some story about my brother being dead"

"I can't stay for very long...The police are lookin for me still" Cook reached into a plastic bag that he had been carrying and pulled out the shoes he had found at John Fosters house, along with some photographs of Freddie that he had found buried in the bottom of the box "I found these at that Foster guys house"

"Foster? as in Effy's doctor? what does he have to do with this?" Katie asked through her tears

"he killed him" Karen once again started sobbing and was pulled into a group hug with JJ and Katie

"I'm sorry what?" This time it was Emily who spoke up

"the bastard killed him...look i gotta run, gotta get away from here, Karen you call me the second the police find him alright" Karen nodded. Cook walked up to JJ and hugged him

"I'll be back soon yeah man...I pissing love you Jay, you remember that..its just you and me now pal" Cook pulled back and after saying very quick goodbyes to everybody he was gone.

Everyone sat in silence. Katie and JJ sat by themselves, Katie staring into space. Karen was sat with Panda and thomas, Panda and Karen hugging each other and crying, and finally Naomi and Emily huddled up in the corner holding each other.

They all knew their lives would never be the same. JJ stood up and opened up the little fridge in the corner of the room, tossing each of his friends a beer, he sat back down and opened his can. Holding it up into the air as a stray tear fell from his eyes

"To Freds"

Everyone raised their cans

"Freds"
