Summary: Prequel to Home Can Be Anywhere When I Am Holding You.
A/N: I decided to write the prequel to Home Can Be Anywhere because I thought it would be interesting to have the whole back story in there.
I woke up that next morning with Katie still lying on the couch next to me, hugging me and holding me in my sleep. I could see where she had cried because of the eyeliner that had run down her face. There was a bottle of vodka in between us and one on the floor. I knew that the vodka would've saved and helped everything and everyone. Last night, I actually saw Katie as I used to, as a person who had feelings and not just a robot who wanted sex with everyone, it was weird seeing that and it was weird to know that the girl that I thought was an angel had managed to break my sister. I guess that people aren't always the people that you think they are and I guess that you only realise that when they do something to someone that you truly care about.
"Morning Katie" I said to her as she woke up. She groaned and got up, lazily dragging herself over to the kitchen to make a coffee for herself, yes just herself, not me. I'm nice to her all last night and I get nothing in return, I guess it must've been the drink and her state of her mind making and letting her be nice to me. I've learnt by now not to really expect anything from Katie. I followed her and started to sort out my own coffee. I made it and then sat back down on the couch drinking it slowly, mulling over my thoughts at the same time. My thoughts were mainly on Naomi and Katie though, I mean what exactly would happen if Naomi turned up at the house, would Katie just fall back in her arms and pretend that nothing happened and that nothing was wrong and that she thought everything was okay or would Katie actually kick off and start a fight or an argument. As much as I'd love them to break up, I don't think I'd be able to cope with Katie being upset about it constantly, it'd make me just want to go and hit Naomi, it really would because isn't a sister's love more important than someone that you're actually in love with?
I looked over at Katie and she seemed to be staring at the phone in her hand that was blasting out some stupid song that made it obvious that Naomi was calling, as it was the tone that was set to go off only when Naomi rang. She stared at the phone with a disgusted look and slammed both the coffee mug and the phone on to the table and walked upstairs to our room, with every one of her steps getting louder as she started to storm up the stairs instead. The phone stopped for a minute then started again so I picked it up.
"Not a good time. Leave her alone" I said in the harshest tone that I could muster, hoping that it would make Naomi not ring Katie again for a while and she didn't, I didn't hear that phone ring again but even if it did , I didn't know what I would have said or done.
"Ems?" I heard her say before I ended the call. It seemed as though she said my name with a glimmer of hope and joy in her voice or maybe that was just my thoughts and my own wishes getting to me. I left the phone downstairs and went upstairs so that I could actually get ready to go to college. Me and Katie were both finally ready so we set off and walked all the way, we like to walk when we have things to talk about. We don't talk to each other; everything just stays silent apart from the sounds of birds singing and cars rushing pasts with the occasional horn beeping in frustration at another car. I had a bad feeling about today and that feeling was made definite when we finally got to college and there was a tall blonde girl stood there looking directly at us.
"Great that's just what I need." Katie said in an angry tone and walked over to her, stopping to tell her just "fuck off" and then carried on walking by. Well, that's their relationship maybe going down the drain. I walked on after her until Naomi grabbed my hand.
"What's her problem Ems? What did I do wrong?" she asked me. What a stupid question, and there was me thinking that Naomi was actually clever, how wrong I was in the end.
"What did you do wrong? Are you thick? You never see her unless she tells you to, you don't stick around after you've had a good screw, you never text her back and for some reason you only ever call at the bad times which are your fault because you make them bad for her, she doesn't even think that you love her anymore, or that you do but just not as much as you used to, so for god's sake sort yourself out, or just leave her because I'm sick of it" I ranted at her. She looked at me with tears in her eyes and it's not making me feel bad at all, I couldn't care less at the moment, I care more for my sister right now.
"Why are you so bothered?" She asked me.
"Because I'm the one who has to help her, save her, sort her out and talk to her about all of her problems that only seem to revolve around you, I'm the one who has to keep her safe from the world and doing stupid things when you and her aren't so good… but in a way I'm glad that's it's her and not me" I said angrily but opened my eyes wide in shock and terror when I realised what I had added in at the end, I hope she doesn't catch on that I want her.
"W-wh-what?" She stammered.
….FUCK!
