Hellllloooo again! First of all, thank you to MissMaraBored for your kind words and for being not only the first to review, but to favourite and follow as well! Also, to the few people who have started to follow my story, thank you so much! I want to start off with a little explanation on my character September. I'm doing my best to introduce you to her, I'm honestly finding it difficult since I don't have the ability to make you fall in love with her throughout 2 seasons of awesome Skins episodes. I've decided I'm not going to properly describe her, because as we all know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I will however drop subtle ideas so you can imagine her however you want.

Alright, on with the story! Hope you enjoy!

Oh, and Naomi will be dropping by soon enough, so stay tuned!

Emily POV

The day I met September, was one of the most bizarre days of my life.

It was far from a bad day, but it was just... bizarre. I don't know how else to describe it. Here I am, peeking my head into a room with '313' written on it and I see a girl who is staring off into space like she's smoked too much spliff, but seems to be aware enough to be trying to blend herself into the wallpaper. It was strange. So me, being the humongous dork that I am, I knock and ask her if this is room 313, even though the way I'm leaning in the doorway, my hand is resting on the room number sign. So it comes as no surprise that I just encroached on her alone... spaced out... whatever time, because she just looks at me. But it's in the way she does it, almost like someone would look at you if they haven't seen you in years. It was strange. She reminded me of the people I once knew, her eyes reminded me of Effy's, but in a warmer way. They were a sparkling grey, but when she'd turn her head just right so that a little sunlight hit them, you could see the dark blue ring around them. For the second time in my life I found myself drowning in breathtakingly beautiful eyes. Her body language was more relaxed than... hers... but you could tell she had walls too. But she was different about it. She didn't embrace them, she actually hated them. You see, when someone doesn't want to be seen, liiiike... some bottle blonde I could mention, you see the walls first and trust me when I say, they're made of bloody concrete. But Sept's, her walls were more like a draw bridge. I don't even think she knew she was doing it. It was as if she was testing me first before drawing the bridge up. It was always half way up so I couldn't get in, but it was enough to be welcoming. She also reminded me of Freddie as well. He was always so caring and took on every bad thing in the world as if it was his fault, or his job to fix it. Or at least that's how he was with Effy. I think if he stopped smoking so much spliff he could have been Effy's roomate in the Nuthouse. Then I saw her face. She had a huge black bruise on her right cheek. I couldn't stop looking at it.

What the fuck Emily? Stop staring you twat!

I think she noticed me looking, but she didn't say anything. Oh no, leave it to dad to poke that huge elephant in the room with a pin needle. Her answer was far different than I had thought, of course the story of a half bruised face on a girl so... captivating... isn't going to be a good one, but I had expected... something else. The darkness of that bruise would suggest even the toughest of men would've at least been dazed, but a girl? Of her size? It should've knocked her out; or put her in the hospital. I cringed at the thought of the story behind her strength, but just as my mind was about to wander I hear her chuckle. And not in a derogatory way, in an amused way, like she was surprised that people even had the decency to ask her a question about it. Her smile was genuine, like she had to reassureus!

Like I said, fucking bizarre.

When my sister made her grand entrance, September didn't seem fazed at all. Not like she had seen it before and didn't care, but as if it didn't matter to her what kind of show Katie put on for her. I saw it then, that flash behind the eyes. Like she's just read Katie's auto biography and decided on her fate or something. Just like fucking Effy, I thought. But as soon as it happened, it was done. And from here, it looked like September actually, liked her. Now don't get me wrong, I love my sister, but for people with actual... substance... Katie doesn't usually win their heart. But in this case, September was a fan, of Katie, not the other stuff Katie acts out.

Bi-fucking-zarre.

So dad and Katie started helping me unpack a little, and September left for some reason during this. Katie said it was to get out of turning us down if we asked her to help, god Katie, you are so bloody lazy, but I think it was to give us some time alone as a family. Little did I know we were both wrong.

"Hey guys, I know you're not from around here so I thought I'd bring a little New York love to you". She said, as she held up two big brown bags while walking back into the room.

"Here, we have all the fixings from Spinelli's Bakery, including bagel breakfast sandwiches, hash browns, scrambled eggs with green peppers, and some black cherry cheesecake for a morning treat"

Well fuck me sideways, I think I'm in love.

"Bloody hell! I can't eat any of that, I'm watching my weight!"

…KATIE!

I go to open my mouth to verbally bitch slap my sister when September bursts out laughing.

What the fuck?

"I'm sorry, I'm not laughing AT you, but that was hilarious"

Katie huffs at this "Oh yeah, not laughing at me? Well what's so bloody funny then?!"

She calms herself down a little so she can speak "I'm sorry. I just knew you'd be like that... health conscious I mean! That's why I got you this"

She pulls out a smaller brown bag from the bigger one and gives it to Katie. Katie opens it up cautiously and sniffs the bag wow Katie, just open it! She finally decides to open it and looks inside, then practically breaks the glass window of our dorm with a squeal that can only be described as more horrifying than if a hungry bear walked in with rabies.

"Oh my fuck, you did NOT!"

What is she on about?

Then, it happens. It was like slow motion, I was watching it happen and I don't know if it was the shock or the utter disbelief that something like that could actually come from Katie. Katie walks over to September and fucking hugs her. September has just tamed my sister, and now I think Katie's the one in love. I look over at dad and he's got this grin on his face like the Cheshire cat, and when he looks over to me and he smiles wider, I know that I have the exact same smile on my face. So he simply reaches over, wraps his arm around my shoulders and kisses the top of my head as I move myself more comfortably into his embrace. From that moment on, the me I thought I'd lost long ago started fade back into me. I miss that Emily.

"It's good to see you happy again my darling girl"

"Yeah, me too dad"

Okie Dokie, that's Chapter 2 down! I hope you're all still enjoying this so far, I thought some insight on Emily's POV would help you understand a little more about September. Do let me know what you guys think!
