A/N - Hey guys…. I know im starting to sound like a parrot with this… but I am so sorry for the lack of updates. Been so busy at work. I am really sorry. As always thanks to everyone who reviewed. And everyone who's been adding me to there favourites, story alert, new chapter alert thingy etc. Its honestly what keeps me writing this. Been having a lack of inspiration lately. But fuelled by E4's video clips of Emily's episode next week… here's chapter 7. Hope It doesn't disappoint.

Next eventful 24 hours

CHAPTER 7

As we walked up to the door my heart started to beat faster, I wasn't sure how exactly Katie was planning on playing this but what ever her plan was I new bitchiest Fitch number 1 wasn't going to be easy to convince. I felt Emily squeeze my hand a little tighter and looked over to her. She had a smile on her face and was occasionally laughing and joking with Katie and the way here, but now looking at her I could see the fear in her eyes. I gave her a sincere smile and mouthed don't worry everything's going to be okay. Her smile turned from a fake 1 to a real one and most of the fear drained from her eyes. Although I could still see a hint of it there.

Katie rummaged in her handbag for the front doors keys, letting out an aggravated sigh every now and then when it seemed they didn't want to be found. She started pulling crap from her handbag to make the search easier handing things to Emily to hold in the process. Half a bottle of vodka, a make up bag which im sure had enough stuff in for her to open her own beauty salon, a bottle of shampoo I mean seriously who carries shampoo with them for fuck sake, a couple of joints. By now Emily was struggling to juggle all these things in her free hand. Em's looked a Katie and gave her a 'why do you have all this shit in there look' just as Katie pulled a thong from her handbag. Emily's expression changed and it seemed that was breaking point.

"Christ Katie… I'm fucked if I'm holding that. Hurry up would you?" Emily said now extremely frustrated.

I pulled my bottom lip in between my teeth and bit down slightly trying to cover up a giggle at Emily's reaction. Katie paused her quest for the keys momentarily to shoot Emily a glare before finally pulling what I hoped was the right set of keys from her handbag. She retrieved her shit from Emily shoving it back into the Aladdin's cave hanging from her shoulder confirming to me that they were indeed the right set of keys. I took a deep breath realisation of the situation suddenly hitting me.

Katie walked to the door, turned and gave Emily a 'you can do this look' before unlocking the door and walking in. I suddenly became frozen in place, all the different ways this could go consecutively playing in my mind making my head spin. Emily noticed my hesitation

"You don't have to do this you know, go home if you want I'll handle it. I know it's not your problem."

Her words knocked me back to reality with a bang. I told my mum last night and found it a lot easier to have Emily there while I told her, so the least I could do was be there when the situation was reversed. Plus I felt like it was slightly my problem I wanted to support Emily and be there for her like she always has been for me.

"I know you can handle it, but I don't want to go home. It is my problem Emily, you're my girlfriend your problem is my problem. So were going to do this together. Plus I think Katie will kill me if I fuck off now" I gave a roll of the eyes just to make my last words seem more dramatic. Emily chuckled slightly.

"Will you two get in here for fuck sake. Em's mums not here." Katie's voice suddenly rang out. I let out a massive sigh a relief which didn't go unnoticed by Emily. Em's walked in the front door pulling me with her. She walked into sitting room still dragging me behind her.

Katie was slouched out on the sofa looking extremely pissed off. Em's gave my hand a squeeze, nodding towards the otha sofa in the room motioning for me to sit down. I gave her the best smile I could muster before dropping her hand and sitting down on the other sofa. She walked over and stood in front of Katie.

"Kay she's not even here, she couldn't off been that pissed off if she's gone out." Emily half states half asks her twin.

"Em's trust me you should off seen her…. Pissed off really doesn't cover it." Great one Katiekins way to build up Em's confidence.

"Well she's not here, so me and Naomi can go yer? Call me when she comes back and I'll see if I can get back here to talk to her alright?" Emily turns to me and opens her mouth to say something but Katie interrupts.

"Like fuck are you two going anywhere, I'm not dealing with her when she comes back." Emily turns back to Katie "Your going to wait for her… She has to hear it from you Em's like I did. Because I'm telling you now this ain't going to go well - don't look at me like that I'm not trying be a bitch - Em's seriously don't look at me like that I'm just being honest- well it ain't going to go well…. Didn't last time and this time won't be any different…. She's going to go up the fucking wall like last time….." Katie really is shit at confidence building.

Katie goes to carry on talking, but Emily has already walked out of the room before she can get the next words out. And I suddenly feel very awkward. I felt awkward before sitting here, in this house, watching Katie and Emily but now I feel extremely uncomfortable. I'm torn - I want to go after Emily and make sure she ok, but I don't want Katie to go on a fucking rant saying she upset Em so it's her job. When I look at Katie she's glaring at me. What the fuck did I do now?

"Well don't just fucking sit there Campbell…. Get. The. Fuck. Up. And make sure she's alright. God… can't believe I'm having to tell you what to do it should be obvious. Thought you were smart or some shit like that." Oh so it's what I didn't do.

"I was going to…. I just didn't want you to think-" Katie cuts me short.

"You still in here?" she asks looking through Heat magazine which she seems to have produced from nowhere.

Normally I would argue about being interrupted. But now I know it won't cause a bitch fit from Katie if I go after Em, shes my number one priority. I stand up quickly and walk out of the room, walking towards the only other one in the house I know. I walk in and see Emily stood at the other side leaning over a counter with her head lowered. I walk towards her, walking past the breakfast table. 'I want you to disappear now Naomi' rings in my ears as I remember it was just yesterday morning I was sat there. I shake my head slightly and carry on walking over to Emily. I walk up behind her and slide my arms round her waist, pulling her to me. She lifts her head resting it back against me, she has her eyes closed and lifts her hands to rub her temples. I move one of my hands from her waist, lifting it and gently grabbing her hand moving it away so I can place light kisses against her temple.

I've dropped about 5 kisses on Emily's temple when suddenly she turns in my arms, throwing her arms around my neck and burring her head in my shoulder. I'm quick to respond, placing my arms around her holding her tight and shifting slightly to place my chin on the top of her head, cuddling her into me. I like my height advantage I think to myself but the thought is quickly lost as I feel a wetness against my neck. I realise my girls crying.

"Em's baby please don't cry… it's going to be alright. You've got me I'm not going anywhere, I have a feeling Katie isn't either we'll get through this. Hey come on…. Shh… shhh" I'm constantly stumbling over my words while I'm trying to comfort her. And I'm doing a shit job. Yer I'm about as good at comforting as Katie is at confidence building so decide for a second option.

I pull back and wait for Emily to look up at me. After a second blurry tear filled eyes meet mine. I reach out capturing the silent tears that are falling down her cheeks with the pad of my thumbs. It breaks my heart to see her like this and I hope to god she's never looked like this because of me.

After a couple of minutes of wiping away tears that fall down Em's cheeks, the tears subside and a now - red eyed from crying - Emily is looking at me. I can tell by her expression shes trying to work out what I'm thinking. So I give her a smile and simply say

"I love you"

Something in Em's eyes changes and the sparkle they usual have is back despite the red puffiness underneath them. I know in that moment she understands everything I'm trying to tell her, all the stuff I can't seem to put into words. She gets it. She smiles back before cupping the sides of my face and pulling me into a kiss. It's slow and gentle and says so much. Both of us trying to express to the other how we feel at that moment. After a couple of minutes of kissing we pull away from each other breathless and I tilt my head forward leaning our foreheads together.

"I love you to" Emily answers me in between gasps for air.

"YOU DO NOT LOVE THIS…. THIS… THIS GIRL EMILY FITCH!" A voice booms from behind us causing me and Emily to freeze on the spot.
