Feel free to leave a review!
She had only just watched the red head leave through her bedroom door and she could feel herself beginning to panic. Having no idea what was going on or what had happened was causing the blond to start having a mild panic attack. Her hands moved to her chest and her breathing became irregular and strained.
After watching Emily leave quickly from her house, Gina walked carefully to her daughter's room only to see the stress and emotion racing across her little girl's face. "Naomi, what's happened? Did you and Emily have a fight?" It was really the only thing she could think of after seeing the look on the red head's face and now a similar one gracing Naomi's features.
Crystal blue eyes looked up to her mum and she shook her head back and forth.
"Well come on then… out with it!"
"I don't know." She could feel herself breaking, could see her vision starting to blur with tears, and could feel her heart tearing right down the centre.
"How do you not know, Naomi?" Mrs. Campbell's voice was soft as she took a seat next to her only child and she put a comforting arm around her shoulders. When there was no reply she leaned over to place a kiss on her daughter's temple while she lifted her other hand to wipe the tears that began their trek down Naomi's cheeks. "It'll be okay, honey."
The blond girl let herself fall into her mum's embrace, but even feeling safe in her arms was doing nothing for the feelings inside her. Tears continued to drip from her ice blue orbs and she hated how vulnerable she felt. She was a bad ass, and she hated how emotional she was feeling. No matter how hard she tried, she felt weak and useless.
It wasn't long before the blond pulled away from Gina and took a deep breath. "I'm fine, thanks," she said in a shaky voice to her mum. Mrs. Campbell got the hint and stood up to leave her daughter in her room. If she was needed, she was only a yell away.
Naomi pulled out her phone and flipped it open. Emily should be home by now and she began typing a text to her. After finishing it, she read over what she had typed in and then pressed 'clear'. She thought that maybe she was being a little obsessive and closed her phone. The red head had left about thirty minutes before… surely she wouldn't need a text to distract her from whatever was going on. Or maybe she did. The blond opened up her phone and typed in the message again before pressing 'send'.
The sleeves at her wrists were soaking with salty tears as she drove back to her house. The red head's mind kept repeating the words of the text, like a bad record skipping through the same part over and over again. She reached forward to turn up the stereo, but even the music couldn't drown out the text that was now dictating itself in her twin's voice. Her hand reached up to swipe at her eyes as more tears threatened to fall from her red rimmed brown eyes.
When Emily got home, she sat in the driveway with her head in her hands, trying to compose herself enough to go inside. It wouldn't be pretty, of that she knew. The emotions were running high; she could feel that within her very heart and soul. She contemplated driving off, driving back to Naomi's, back to the safe haven there.
Her being there wouldn't change anything that had happened. She took in a deep breath and pulled the keys from the ignition. Her hand went to the door handle of the car door when her phone beeped. The red head hesitated before pulling the device from her pocket. After reading the name the tips of her lips raised slightly and she opened the text. 'I miss you already. I hope everything is okay. Let me know if there's anything I can do. Xoxo N.'
Emily wasn't going to reply, but she wanted to let the blond know how much she appreciated the gesture. After hitting reply she started to type, 'I miss you too. With Love, E.' The red head hit the send button and closed her phone as she opened the door of the car and tried to ready herself for what lay ahead through the door of her home.
Naomi received the text back, but it did little to help ease the raging emotions. She let herself lay down on her bed and ended up curling herself into a ball. Her room seemed so lonely without the red head there with her.
The time alone gave the blond a chance to think about what was really going on between her and the cute red head. They had both avoided putting a name to the feelings they felt or the relationship that was obviously staring them right in the face. Naomi couldn't help wondering if Emily was gay. Then the question would be… is she also gay then? Their snog sessions and the touches between them… just thinking about it was making Naomi feel a bit warm. At first the touches were innocent, starting when Emily would run her hands over her unfeeling legs, but they had changed somewhere along the line. The contact wasn't simply reserved to her legs, not anymore. The equestrian rider's hands would move up her sides, over her stomach, down her arms, across her collar bone, and over her shoulders… which all had nothing to do with getting her legs to begin working and feeling again!
The blond let loose another breath and she turned herself over to face the wall. Blue pools closed, which only caused her other senses to make up for it. She could still smell the sweet scent of the red head. It was possible that it was all in her head, but it was the only thing comforting her right now. She didn't fight it, she embraced it. If she let her mind clear for long enough, she could almost hear Emily's whispers and feel her feather-light touch running along her form.
Don't forget to leave a review. Let me know what you think, and what you'd like to see in the future!
You didn't think I'd give up what was going on in Emily's life that easy... did you!? At least you get to see the inner thoughts of Naomi with regard to Emily! ;)
