A/N: I'm just going to say thank you to all that people who review/favorite/follow this, and also, a bold, italic, underlined and Fuchsia massive 'thank you' to SpanishLily because she is my beta-reader and I am laughing, like, too much with her comments (and learning so much with her corrections, too).

Here it goes, the lovely chapter 4.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Skins. Also, the places aren't mine, either. Do you imagine myself owning a fucking Arena? LOL

She opened her eyes slowly. The sunlight was illuminating her room and she blinked a few times, yawning. Fucking headache she had. The thumb and middle fingers on her right hand stroked her temples. That shit hurt a lot, she thought as she turned around to stand up.

And that's when she saw him.

"Fuuuuuck." She mumbled, standing up and looking at the bed. She was naked; fucking marvelous... it was true that she liked to sleep naked, for fuck's sake, but she had a guy in her bed and she didn't remember anything about the night before! The worst part was when the guy turned around too, and Effy saw his face. Her hand went directly to her mouth. She was so fucking surprised that all she could think of doing was grabbing her T-shirt and a pair of knickers.

What the fuck she should do? She didn't know. For fuck's sake... her mobile buzzed then and that's when she read the text message.

'Sorry bout ysterday :(, I rlly need 2 talk with u.'

Well, at least Emily wanted to talk with her, she thought... but she couldn't think of anything more than the guy who was sleeping in her bed. Some questions popped into her head: Had Katie seen them? Had she shagged the guy who was sleeping there? She sighed, grabbing a paper and a pen, and she wrote him a note. She was going to meet Emily and that was (obviously) more important, and well, she was freaking out so... yeah, running was the best option.

[...]

They met at the studio in Naomi's old garage. It was behind her mother's house, but it was the only place they could meet without being stalked (besides their houses, obviously, but Emily lived with Naomi and Effy had a naked guy fucking sleeping in her bed at the moment; so it wasn't possible).

The girls greeted Gina, the blonde's mum entering the place, their little haven. The four girls had the keys to the garage and sometimes they met there, or they went alone when they needed to think. Emily, for example, wrote a few songs of their album there in that garage.

Effy put on some music, lighting a fag and Emily just stretched on the couch. "I've lied to her. I've told her that I was going to visit James.

Effy put on the last album of The Strokes on the player and she sat next to her friend. "So?"

"I don't like having to lie." said Emily, shrugging.

Effy looked at her. "So, what do you want to talk about?"

Emily started to feel nervous because it was a big deal for her. It really was. She stood up, grabbing a fag from Effy's pack and lighting it. She started to walk through the garage and the brunette just stared at her.

"Emily." said Effy, stopping her. "It's me. Don't worry ab-"

Emily didn't let her finish.

"I'm gay, Effy…I mean…no, fuck, I didn't mean to say that!" she said sighing and shaking her head. "I like girls, that's all."

"So?" Said Effy, shrugging. "Do you really think I didn't know?"

The redhead raised an eyebrow.

"Come on! Seriously?"

"If you knew about it..." said Emily; taking a drag. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well." Effy replied, lying on that couch. "It wasn't my place to say it, don't you think? Whether you were gay or not, it was your job to discover it."

Yeah, Effy had a point but there was still yet another elephant in the room; the biggest issue of all.

"And how did you realize that y-"

"Naomi."

It was the only thing that Emily could say and Effy looked at her and smiled. She liked that honesty, and if Emily was the first to take that step Effy was sure it would be welcomed.

Emily sat on the couch as the brunette placed her arm on her shoulder. "But you knew that already."

"Of course I did, but I like that you've told me about it." replied Effy, nodding.

"I'm so fucking scared, shit, w-what if... what if I ruin our friendship? She is like…I don't know…I need her in my life Effy." said the redhead staring at the floor as Effy rubbed her back with her hands and smiled.

"Why don't we rehearse for a bit? Too much thinking isn't good for you. You're just torturing yourself. This might clear your mind a bit.

Emily looked at her. "You think so?"

The brunette nodded and smiled. "Come on, Emsy-kin. Let's make some noise."

Emily was glad she'd spoken to Effy about these things. Effy was a really good friend and right now that's just what she needed.

[...]

Katie was applying some extra make-up on her eyes because she hadn't been able to sleep too well the night before and she had to go back to her photo shoot. She was also meeting Hugh Royce, her boyfriend of five months who was a star player with Arsenal FC. Things were going really well that morning.

Suddenly she heard a noise in the kitchen and she thought that Effy was there. Katie smiled hoping Effy had fixed them some breakfast. That's why Katie loved living with Effy, she made things so comfortable. She had to admit that sometimes she was useless without her.

She grabbed her little purse and staring at the mirror for a last time, she smiled. She looked so fucking good.

"Eff, please, tell me that you've made som-" Her mouth fell to the floor when she saw that guy, without a T-shirt, eating some cereal. "What the fuck are you doing here!?"

"Reeeelax, babes." He said, grinning. "Nice to see you, too."

Katie furrowed her brow. "Don't piss me off and answer my fucking question, like, now."

The boy smiled. "What is about you, girls...always yelling for everything?"

"My God, CAN YOU JUST-"

"OK, OK! Listen..." The boy sighed. "Yesterday, your lovely friend called me up, right? So we drank a lil' and we ended up here, havin' some fun. End of."

"Well." She said, grabbing his cereal and throwing it in the sink and sighing. "Grab your fucking things, we're leaving."

He looked at her. "Fuck's sake, I-I was just havin' some fucking breakf-"

She stopped, closed her eyes and breathed deeply. He was making her nervous. "Really?... do you think I give a shit about what you're doing? Come on!"

Five minutes later, Katie was inside her car. The guy knocked on the car's window, and Katie just opened it and let out an annoyed sigh. "What?"

"Can you drive me somewhere baby...?" He said, shrugging.

Katie rolled her eyes. "Look, BABY, you've got a Tube station right in that corner, so... fuck off, yeah?" She switched on the engine of the car, waved at him with a sarcastic smile and started to drive.

He sighed as he saw her car driving away; so he put his hands on his coat pockets and he started to walk away.

What a fucking great way to start the morning.

[...]

27th February. First Direct Arena, Leeds.

"LEEDS, I WANT TO SEE YOU CLAP YOUR HANDS!"

Effy smiled, but that time Katie didn't return the smile. It was weird, because they always did that, but that night something seemed broken between them and the brunette didn't like it a fucking bit.

[...]

"Can you do me a favor?" Naomi raised her head when she saw Effy at the door. She looked nervous, and the blonde just shrugged. "Is that a yes?"

Naomi sighed as she looked for something in her small suitcase. "You can ask me for anything, you know that."

Effy closed the door behind them, rested her body on that hotel's door and stared at her friend. "I need to room with Katie tonight." The blonde raised an eyebrow. "Don't look at me like that, Campbell, I swear this has nothing to do with you and Emily."

"So why do you need to room with Katie then?" Naomi asked. The brunette sighed, closing her eyes. She lit a fag to try and relax but it was so fucking pointless.

"While I'd love to sit here and watch you smoke a fag, I don't have all night" the blonde spewed sarcastically.

"She's pissed with me." Effy recognized.

Naomi looked at her. "Why?" Effy shrugged trying to avoid that question. "For fuck's sake Eff..."

"I've shagged Cook."

The blonde opened her eyes, surprised. "W-wow... I definitely wasn't expecting that."

Effy sighed. "Can't you just do me this favor, without questioning it...OK?"

"Whatever." She replied, shrugging and then Effy hugged her with a smile on her face.

"Soppy twat." Naomi said, laughing.

"Awww, you love me, Campbell."

Of course she did.

[...]

Katie was lying on her bed, on her phone reading her Twitter feed; trying to distract herself. She heard the door, sighed and then turned around.

"Emsy, please, switch off the-" She stopped talking when she saw Effy, with a bottle of champagne in her hands resting on her door. "What are you doing here?" She said, coldly.

Effy didn't like the pause. She didn't like uncertainty. She always went straight to the point.

"Why are you angry with me?"

And Katie usually liked that about Effy, but this one of the nights when she hated it with passion.

Why was she so angry at Effy? Did she even have a real reason to be? She asked herself. Well, she had brought a guy to their home. Katie had never done it before, she hadn't even brought Hugh. That's what was bothering her.

Also, that Cook... she didn't like him for Effy. She was too special, and he was... rude? Gross. Effy deserved better.

Katie just shrugged. She could argue with anyone but Effy... that girl just amazed her. "Come on, Katie, I really want to talk about th-"

"Well, I don't." She said.

Effy lay on Katie's bed and the twin sighed. It was quite uncomfortable. "Sorry." whispered the brunette, smiling. "I shouldn't have brought Cook home but I was so, so drunk. That morning I freaked out thinking that maybe you'd seen him and..."

"He was eating my fucking Golden Grahams; in his boxers." Katie said annoyed. Effy couldn't help but laugh. It was so hilarious.

"Fuck. Off!" Effy couldn't stop laughing, and Katie turned around. "You're a fucking child."

"I promise..." said Effy, wiping a small tear she had acquired from laughing so hard. "…that I will buy you a cart full of Golden Grahams the next time."

Katie smiled. "Promise?" She said, raising her pinky so she could promise.

"Hey!" Effy laughed at her again.

"And then I'm the fucking child, here. Yeah, sure..." Katie rolled her eyes, and they sighed, at the same time, but they were more relaxed. "I could never stay mad at you."

"Me neither." Admitted the shorter girl and she really meant it.

Internet interview with fans.

Skins Official Page (skinsrockingit dot com).

28th February.

- What's your guilty pleasure? I'm a big fan of your album, good job! David, 23, Swansea (UK).

Emily: Without trying to sound too boring, but George Orwell.

Naomi: ABBA (Quite old fashioned but I love them).

Effy: Wine.

Katie: Geordie Shore, ha-ha.

- Hello! I am a huge fan of you from France. You girls are awesome! What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you? Maxime, 18, Toulouse (France).

Emily: I don't know if it is the funniest thing that happened in my life, but I remember a night, I was dying my hair in the bathroom and well, you can see it's red, so the sink was a real mess, with all the dye spread around. Naomi went in to get something and freaked out when she saw the sink because she thought that it was blood and I had hurt myself. It was so fucking funny, haha :P

Naomi: Effy knows how to hum all the guitar bases of the most popular rock songs. It's pretty geeky, but the first time I found out she was humming 'Highway to hell', just the guitar part, and it was so amusing.

Katie: The first night of our tour, Naomi fell asleep so quickly and we started to draw on her face with an eye-liner. She didn't notice until the next morning, haha.

Effy: When we recorded our first video, 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun'. Yeah, definitely.

- First of all, I want to say that I've founded a community of Skinners here, in Venezuela, so hello! This was the most rated question in our community, so, here it goes: if you could have a date with someone (a famous, a history character...) who would you choose? Diego, 26, Maracaibo (Venezuela).

Emily: John Lennon.

Naomi: Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Effy: Audrey Hepburn.

Katie: Brad Pitt counts? Hahaha. I am kidding, well... huh, I don't know, I guess that with someone like Mick Jagger or Kurt Cobain.

[...]

"Seriously?" Asked Emily, staring at the screen. "Roosevelt?"

Naomi shrugged, sitting by her side and putting her head on Emily's shoulder. "He was interesting. He did incredible things, in his time..."

"He could be your grandpa!" argued Emily, and Naomi laughed. "What?"

"Emily, it was a figurative question, also, sometimes it's good to have some quality time, just TALKING, you know"

Emily sighed. "So what you're saying is I wouldn't be able to have an interesting conversation with John Lennon?"

"I didn't say that…I meant if you're on a date with him it may lead to something more than just talking…see I could never have that kind of meeting with Roosevelt. Unless you don't understand the concept of Lesbianism."

"Piss off!" She said, laughing and Naomi placed her arms around her waist and hugged her.

They smiled, reading the interview, and Naomi raised an eyebrow. "It wasn't funny."

"What?"

Naomi looked at her. "The day I found the red dye on the sink. I mean, I really thought that you had hurt yourself."

Emily smiled and caressed Naomi's cheek with a thumb as she continued reading the interview.

The blonde thought that it was impossible to love her any more. Her heart belonged to that little redhead and this was consuming her slowly.

28th February.

- Three things that you will bring with yourself to a desert island. Kim, 21, Seoul (South Korea).

Effy: All the cigarettes I possibly can (and something to light them), music and chocolate.

Katie: An airplane and a pilot, so I would fuck off :D I don't like "desert islands"

Naomi: Loads of music, a knife or something to cut and some good company :)

Emily: Huh, I have never thought 'bout this, haha. I don't know, I guess that I would bring with me something useful. And Naomi; yeah, Naomi would definitely come with me.

What do you think about it? :)

See you soon, I promise!
