I'll come clean, I wanted my story to be in this format, I thought it would be more interesting, but as one of the reviews pointed out, it needs stage direction, and actually the 'episodes' are fun to write, so hey, all's well that ends well, right?
Katie and Emily have a little heart to heart takes place just after All Downhill from Here.
"...No we're going to stay with Gina, it's just easier, you know? Do you need me to do anything else?"
"No, I think it's all organised, Anthea's sorting out a few last details, but mostly it's there."
"Are you OK?"
"I dunno, to be honest, numb mostly, weirdly a few months ago, I woke up every morning fearing this, but now it's actually happened, I dunno, it hasn't quite sunk in"
"Katie, can I ask you a question about Effy?"
"Sure, it's OK"
"Was Cook not turning up the reason she killed herself?"
"Wooh, big question. Honestly? I don't know Ems, she was, you know...Messed up, it could 've been anything, Cook, Freddie, her parents, lots of things"
"But it might have been Cook, right?"
"Ems you're asking questions I can't answer, why are you obsessed about Cook all of a sudden?"
"Something I did, something I said to him a while back...Katie, I think I might be to blame for Effy killing herself"
"Emily, what are saying? You're not to blame for Effy. What did you say to Cook, is this about seeing him in Prison?"
"I told him to fuck off, more or less, I knew he wouldn't show up when we were waiting for him a while ago, but...but I didn't want this to happen, I've fucked everything up Katie, promise me you won't tell Naomi, please don't tell her, she won't understand..."
"You told him to fuck off? What d'you mean?"
"I told him none of us wanted to see him when he came out"
"Emily, that wasn't your decision to make"
"I know, I was fucked off you know, Naomi and me were going downhill, you were struggling with Eff, that Journalist, I blamed Cook.., now Effy's killed herself, if I hadn't been to see him, she might not have, Did she kill herself because of that?"
"Emily, what have you done?"
