Hey! I'm back, miss me? I'm so sorry for posting this so late :S I have only two words : Writers block. I can't update Another Girl, Another Planet as I started writing that on my laptop, but unfortunately the charger broke and the battery died, so I had to send it off to Acer. When I got it back, the screen wouldn't work so I wasn't able to complete it. The reason I am able to write this is because I am using the family computer, so I'm able to update this story and the switch at this moment in time.

Many thanks to those who reviewed my last chapter. Thank you to:

Chapter 12

Naomi POV

I crumble to the floor as Emily steps onto the train, sobs escape my mouth as I watch the train pull away from the station. She's really gone, she left me. I feel arms wrap around me, ugging me tightly to their chest. I grab onto their shirt, screaming out, not caring for all the stares we may be getting.

"Shh, it's all right Naomi, it's all right" Cook whispers softly to me, stroking my hair. I don't say anything, I can't say anything. I cling to him more, bury my face away, trying to bury myself away from this pain I can feel in my chest. It's like Emily just dug her hand into my chest and ripped my heart out, throwing it into her burning fire.

Soon after I stop crying, Cook picks me up, holding on to me tightly as he practically drags me to his car. I remain hollow, I don't move as he straps me in. I don't speak whilst we are in the car, I keep staring blankly as Cook unbuckles my seat belt then takes me into my home. I don't fuss as he undresses me and place me in the bath. I don't complain as he washes my body and hair gently.

I remain motionless as he dresses me in my pyjamas and places me in bed. I continue to stare forward as he gets into bed with me. I turn onto my side and feel his arm wrap around my waist, holding me tightly to him. It's only then I start to cry again. Cook just holds onto me tightly, lightly kissing my shoulder as I cry myself to sleep.


I wake up to an empty bed beside me, immediately I spring out of bed, hoping Cook hadn't ditched me like Emily. I open the door to see Cook there, a tray with bacon, eggs and sausages in one hand and the other about to open the door. I look at the tray, he put a flower in the middle. I start to cry and sit down on the bed. Cook quickly rushes in and places the tray down on the bedside table before sitting next to me and hold me.

"I'm sorry Naomi, if I had known that would make you upset I wouldn't have made it for you"

I shake my head "It's lovely Cook, really. It's just, the last time I shared a 'bed' with anyone, she ended fucking off" Cook smiles sympathetically and rubs my arms. A rumble in my tummy sounds the room.

"Sounds like you're hungry" Cook says laughing, I nod a small laugh escaping my lips.

We eat the breakfast in silence, once we're finished Cook stands up. "Well, I'm going to have a shower, care to join me Naomikins?" He asks waggling his eyebrows.

I laugh "Piss off Cook" Cook shrugs before heading into the bathroom. I flick through the channels, absentmindedly concentrating on what's on.

Soon my mind starts to turn to her. Why me? Why did she have to pick me to bet on? I'm not exactly that great, I'm a bitch, an Ice Queen and I know it. There was something about Emily though, the way she looked at me when Effy introduced us. It was as if she knew exactly who I was without me even knowing who I was yet. Her stare was like Effy's, but to me, much more powerful. Effy's stares are more like she can see what we are thinking, like she's a fortune teller, knowing what we are going to do before we do them. But Emily, hers look deep inside of you, looking for the real you behind the outer shell we have. She knows who we are, she knows our real personality, and she becomes determined to bring it out of us. I remember a conversation I had with Panda, she told me about the old Emily, how caring she was, how considerate she was before Ben. I was lucky enough to see that Emily in our private moments, when it was just me and her in the room and no one else. That was when Emily came out of her shell.

That's the thing about Emily. She can bring you out of your shell, but she can't bring herself out of hers. I had to do that for her. I like to think I was breaking down the walls she had built around her self. I was making progress, but then with just four little words, all my hard work is forgotten and the walls are back up.

I sigh sadly just as Cook comes out of the shower, he notices my expression then claps his hands together "Right, get dressed Naomikins, we're going on a date"

"A date?" I ask confused

"It's time I showed you a good time" I raise my eyebrows at him "Not in that way! I'm not that much of a dick Blondie. I've got an idea that will put that beautiful smile of yours back on your face" He smiles at me before chucking a towel at my head, pulling me up then pushing me into the bathroom.

"Hurry up though! We need to get there early!" I hear him shout from the door.


"Can I take my blindfold of yet?" I ask as I sit in the car, my arms crossed.

"Not yet" The engine cuts, I move my head to the sound of Cooks footsteps against the gravel. The door opens and he unbuckles my seat belt, helping me out of the car.

"Cook I'm not fucking handicapped, I can walk by myself" I say when I don't feel his grip on my hip loosen. He just laughs and grabs my hand. A rush of heat flows through me and I smile, rubbing my thumb over his knuckles. Cook starts walking, his hand left hand lightly touching my back. I hear tracks moving and screams sound around me.

"Just a little further Naomikins...Now you can take it off" Cook says, letting go of my hand. I rip the blindfold and drop it to my side. I stare in front of me and scowl.

"Cook, this is the fucking car park" I growl.

"Turn around"

I do as I'm told and turn. I read the sign in front of me and look at the construction behind the gates. I gasp, my and covering my mouth. I scream then jump into Cooks arms, hugging him tightly

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" I scream happily. Cook laughs, picks me up then spins me around before placing me back down.

"How did you know I've wanted to come to Thorpe Park?"

Cook shrugs "A little birdy told me" he says, a toothy grin on his face. Fucking Effy.

"I am going to kill her when we get back, but then thank her" I say. I grab onto Cooks hand and run towards the entrance. I jump up and down excitedly as Cook shows the Lady our tickets.

"Have a nice day" The lady smiles, we both say our thanks and walks through. As we walks into the main building that leads to the theme park, a tangoed blonde in a mini skirt walks past. Cook watches her walk by and turns around, admiring her ass.

I hit his arm "Stop it" I hiss

"Jealous already Naomikins?" Cook asks. I stick my tongue at him, he laughs then walks up to the desk.

"Can I get two lots of the Ultimate Fast track tickets please?" Cooks asks. The guy nods then taps at his keyboard.

"That'll be £132 please" Cook nods and hands him the money. I do a quick calculation in my head then start to rummage through my bag as we walk into the park.

"What you doing?" Cook asks as I take my purse out.

"Paying you back of course" I start to take the money out, but Cook's hand stops me.

"It's my treat"

"Cook let me-"

"Let me spoil you Naomi, I can tell you need to be spoilt more" Cook says with a cheeky grin. I sigh but place my purse back in my hand.

"So which ride first?"

"Stealth!" I shout. Cook laughs and takes my hand.

"Stealth it is then"


Cook and I walk along, laughing, munching away at the cotton candy he had brought for us.

"You should've seen him Naomi! It was so fucking funny; he strode towards the stall shouting 'Give me some cotton candy!'" Cook imitated the man he saw whilst he got the cotton candy for us, putting on a really deep voice and walking with his arms out stretched behind him like a fat man.

I laugh harder at his impression. I stop though when I see a flash of red in my eye. I spin round, desperately trying to find it again. I spot the red hair walking towards burger king. Please turn around, please. I see her starting to turn and suck in a deep breath. Is Emily here? I deflate when I see it's just another girl with red hair. Cook notices my expression and takes my hand, I look at him and smile weakly.

"Was it her?" He asks, I shake my head and he sighs "Come on, we have SAW to go on, then we've officially been on almost every ride here, well the good ones" He throws our sticks in the bin and starts dragging me towards the SAW line. Thankfully, the line isn't too long for fast track and Cook weaves his way through, showing the tickets to the woman. She shows us through and we race up the stairs. The gun shots fire and I scream, making Cook laugh.

I jump up and down in the line excitedly "I haven't been on SAW before"

Cook turns round, his mouth hanging open "You're not fucking serious"

I nod, still smiling. Cook grabs my hand again and looks for a worker. He walks up to one "Excuse me mate, can we have a front row seat please? This is her first time one it" He says, pointing back at me. The guy looks at me then Cook before ushering us onto the ride. The cart moves and I giggle in anticipation, I see the puppet talking to the carriage in front of us, it moves away and the carriage in front disappears. We sit waiting for a while before our carriage moves.

I giggle as we dip down, big axes swinging above us. Cook's screaming and I can't help but giggle harder. We go through a corkscrew, I scream in delight and put my hands up still laughing whilst Cook keeps and iron grip on his seat. We come out side and slowly move round, coming to stop before the vertical drop. I turn to Cook and laugh as I see him with his eyes shut closed.

"I'm going to die...I'm going to die..." he mutters as we start to move up, I smile brightly, looking forward. As we get to the top Cook bellows "I'M GOING TO FUCKING D-" His sentence is cut off by his scream as we drop down the go round the rest of the track. I let go of the seat and let my arms hang up in the air, laughing at Cook whos screaming like a girl.

We come to a stop, tears roll down my cheeks as I laugh. I look at Cook who looks scared shitless "That was some fucking scary shit man"

"Aww, was Cookie scared?"

"Nah, I was just making you feel better weren't I?" The seat lifts up and we step out, grabbing our things and going down the stairs into the gift shop.

"Your screams beg to differ" I sniff the air and pretend to smell something revolting "Urgh, did you shit your self"

Cook grabs his arse, looks behind him then back at me "No! Cookie doesn't shit himself"

I laugh as we walk up to the photo booth and see the picture of us. I'm laughing, my hands up in the air, where as Cook as his eyes shut closed, gripping onto the bars on the seat and his mouth open from when he screamed.

"Cook please can we get it? Pretty please?" I give him my best puppy dog eyes, Cook rolls his eyes before taking out his wallet.

"All right, but only because I can't resist that face" He asks the guy for a photo and pays him. I jump up and down happily and hug him. He hugs me back, giggling into my hair.

"It's good to see you smiling again Naomikins" Cook says whilst taking the photo from the guy.

I look at the photo and beam at it "It feels good to smile"


I'm sorry to leave it at that, but I couldn't think of any other way to end this chapter. I hope you guys enjoyed it, and for those who don't know, Thorpe Park is a real theme park in England, it is amazing! If any of you American and Aussie or any others not living in England ever come over to England, I recommend going there :D

Rate and Review, criticism is welcomed!
