I was feeling incredibly lazy tonight and couldn't be bothered to put my laptop on but gave in pretty quickly to some bribery on twitter lol, this one is for you marsupial1974 although by the end of this I will be in hiding. All I can say is sometimes things need to happen...
Thank you for the reviews and for adding this to your alerts and favourites, I am enjoying writing this and have lots of ideas for the rest of the story.
Anyway here goes...
Chapter Two
Two Days Later
Emily
I have been hiding under the covers in my room all weekend feeling absolutely miserable, the look on Naomi's face when Katie dragged me away haunting me, she looked so angry. The kiss had been amazing; the shocks that had run through my body made me feel so alive. I had finally felt myself for once in my life and I finally had the girl I had wanted for so long in my arms just to have her ripped away again. Katie has certainly made her displeasure known over the weekend, she spent a lot of her free time shouting through my bedroom door because I refused to let her in, anyway apparently I have completely embarrassed her and she is going to have to explain everything to her friends on Monday to save face. Why can't I just find the strength to stand up to her and tell her exactly how I really feel and who I really am.
Dad has been pretty worried about me, I told him I must just have some virus or something and that I would be ok in a few days after some rest. He swallowed it, well appeared to, I'm not entirely sure he really believed me. He had just brought me up a bowl of soup joking that I could eat it because it was from a tin and not made by mum. He still looked so concerned and had commented about me maybe needing to see a doctor as I didn't look much better. Thankfully he hadn't pushed me when I had been reluctant and once he had left me alone again I felt guilty about lying to him and thoughts of Naomi once again crept into my mind and the feel of her soft lips caressing mine sent shivers down my spine all over again. I pushed the soup aside the thought of eating it making me feel sick, I knew I should try to put dads mind at rest after all it isn't his fault he has a screwed up daughter, but instead I buried myself under the covers wanting to block everything out.
The next thing I knew it was Monday morning and Katie was banging on my bedroom door "open this door bitch or I will break it down, you have been hiding for long enough."
I opened my eyes and blinked a few times letting my eyes adjust to the light streaming through my curtains. Katie was still hammering on the door and I knew she would follow through with her words and break the door down if I didn't let her in. I slid the lock on the door before jumping back into my bed. Katie marched straight into my room her hands on her hips as she towered over me "why aren't you ready for college?"
"Because I'm not going" I spat back
She continued to glare at me "Yes you are I am not going to let her ruin your life. She will not get anywhere near you again, I will be by your side all day and I will make sure of it plus I am not having any more embarrassment."
"That's not what I want…" I tried to explain.
I was cut off by Katie as usual not listening to anything I had to say "you have got to show everyone at college that you are above all of this, who knows what that lezzer Campbell has been saying about you. You have got to show everyone that it is all lies."
"It's not lies" I whispered quietly to myself knowing Katie wouldn't hear me over her ranting.
She pulled the covers away from me "now get up and get yourself ready. We have a united approach to put up."
"Fine" I sighed knowing it was easier to just give in and as usual give her exactly what she wanted.
I kept my head down as I walked down the corridor towards my locker with Katie by my side. I glanced across at Naomi who was talking to Effy beside their lockers and her eyes fixed on mine. I could instantly see they were still full of anger directed at me. Katie glared at the gorgeous blonde "stay away from my sister lezzer or I won't be responsible for my actions."
"Oh fuck off Katie" Naomi spat back showing her fiery side and obviously trying to show Katie she wasn't going to pay any attention to her.
I grabbed Katie's arm and pulled her away not wanting Katie to insult Naomi anymore "leave it Katie."
She glared at me as I opened my locker "I will not leave it, she threw herself at you and I am not letting her get away with that. I won't stop until the whole college knows what she is."
"Katie…" I tried "Look it was…"
She cut me off "Don't try and defend her Emily. Now come on let's go." She grabbed my arm and started to pull me away, I took one last glance at Naomi before she disappeared from my view. I know she saw me looking but didn't acknowledge me at all. I knew she was still angry and would be for a while.
I felt miserable for the whole day, every time I saw Naomi my heart ached, I remembered what it felt like to have her lips pressed against mine and wanted to be able to feel like that all over again. I knew it would never happen again though, Katie had made sure of that and was continuing to make sure of it with her lezzer jibes every time she saw Naomi.
Naomi
In a way I feel sorry for Emily, she comes across as being a nice girl but she is always being told what to do by her sister and she never stands up to her, it's like she is completely overshadowed by her. That is why we are in the mess we are in now. Anyway as much as I feel sorry for Emily I am also so angry with her for everything at the moment. I can't walk down the corridor without being yelled at by Katie, don't get me wrong I am not bothered by what Katie is actually yelling at me, I know who I am and my friends know who I am.
However angry I may be feeling though I can't help but keep thinking back to the kiss we shared a few days ago, it felt good, in fact strangely good, her lips were so soft against mine and she certainly knew what she was doing with those said lips but I am not gay. On top of all that I really enjoyed chatting to Emily, I'd never chatted to her before but I got a glimpse of the girl she was away from her sister, she is kind and funny and she is interesting, not completely shallow like that bitch of a sister of hers.
But thinking back to the situation at the moment with Katie and Emily, I really need to talk to Emily but I also knew I needed to do it away from Katie. I don't even want to think about what Katie would do if she found me with Emily again. I knew I just needed to strike at the right moment.
That moment came at the end of the college day. Katie was standing by the lockers with her tongue down some guys throat and Emily was obviously hanging around waiting for her so they could go home. I indicated to her to come and talk to me and to say she looked surprised was an understatement. She glanced at Katie before back at me looking rather unsure. Suddenly she blurted out "I'm going to the toilet Katie, I'll be back in a minute."
I don't think Katie even acknowledged that her sister had spoken but at least I was getting my chance to make a few things clear with Emily. It was a little awkward between us to begin with but thankfully the bathroom was empty. It was Emily that spoke first "this will have to be quick, if Katie comes looking for me… well you know."
She was definitely nervous "this won't take long Emily I just need you to know that Friday night was a mistake and you also need to know that I am not gay."
She looked a little surprised and I was about to walk away, I had said everything I needed to but she obviously had other ideas as she showed a burst of confidence "that's not the impression you gave." She stepped closer to me "the kiss was good you can't deny that."
My breath hitched as she took another step forward "it was ok" I lied.
I'm sure she could tell I was lying, for fucks sake I hadn't even convinced myself with that statement. My eyes flicked to her hips and back to her eyes and subconsciously licked my own lips. Suddenly Emily took her chance and I found myself pushed up against the wall as her lips crashed against mine. I responded to the kiss I couldn't help myself it felt so good. Eventually I pushed her off as my brain kicked in "Emily we can't do this. I am not gay and this will never happen again."
Her face fell and I could see the hurt in her eyes. She walked away and opened the door before turning back to me "we will see Naomi, we will see."
Her words registered with my brain as she disappeared from my view. "Shit" I whispered to myself and it suddenly dawned on me that I had to do something drastic to make Emily see that I am being serious when I say I'm not gay.
Friday night soon came round again and Effy, Cook, Freddie and I were all going out tonight. I don't go out often but it was all part of my plan. I had spent all week flirting my way round college, snogging random guys, basically I was behaving exactly like Katie Fitch all to try and get the message through to Emily. During the week she had been doing her best to show anything I did wasn't bothering her. Katie was being her usual self and insulting me, she just couldn't decide whether I was a 'lezzer' or a 'slut'. Anyway Effy and I had overheard Katie dictating to Emily and as usual not listening to anything her sister had to say in return. The long and short of it though was that Katie was also dragging Emily out tonight as well to find her a 'nice boyfriend'. Katie obviously just wanted to put a stop to the rumours circulating around the college and making 'her' look bad. Effy had decided that we had to go out as well and find me a hot guy to really get the message across to Emily.
Emily
Katie was plastering my face with make-up ready to go out tonight, she had already done my hair and forced me into a dress I didn't want to wear, quite frankly it made me look like a right slut. I don't even want to go out tonight but I have long realised that when Katie has an idea in her head there is no point arguing. Naomi has basically spent her week whoring herself around college trying to get her point across to me. I have done my best to ignore what she is doing and attempt to show her that I am not bothered but really it is tearing me up inside and I feel like my heart is being ripped into shreds.
Once Katie had finished making me look acceptable, her words not mine, I went downstairs whilst she finished getting ready. Thankfully mum and dad were out so I grabbed the bottle of vodka I had hidden in the cupboard earlier and poured myself a glass, if I had to go through this I was going to do it drunk. I slumped down onto one of the dining room chairs really feeling completely fed up as I poured one vodka after another. When Katie did eventually come downstairs she rolled her eyes before taking the bottle from me and dragging me out the front door. As we walked towards the club Katie was chewing my ear off as usual, I can't say I was really listening but I did catch "I don't want you fucking embarrassing me tonight."
I chose to ignore her, I didn't care if I did embarrass her, I didn't care about much at the moment except getting completely drunk and forgetting all about Naomi Fucking Campbell.
I was happily propping up the end of the bar with one shot of vodka after another not caring that the room was beginning to spin. Everything suddenly came into focus though when I spotted the blonde I was trying to forget a little further around the bar. I suddenly felt very sober as her eyes fixed on me, she was obviously as surprised to see me as I was her, little did I know it was all planned to make me even more miserable that I already was. As Naomi ordered a couple of drinks from the bar a tall guy with dark hair walked up behind her and circled his arms around her waist, she turned in his arms and may as well have sucked his face off the way she was kissing him. I ordered another five shots from the barman and drank them one after the other not caring how I would feel later. I watched as Naomi dragged whoever he was onto the dance floor and was practically grinding against him. I ordered another five shots and again they were gone within 30 seconds. I'm not normally one for drinking vodka neat but it was definitely numbing the pain a little tonight. I looked over to Naomi again; I was obviously determined to torture myself as I watched her continue to grind against whoever he was as she thrust her tongue down his throat. It made me feel physically sick. The night was going to get worse though as Katie walked towards me with some guy in toe. As she approached she must have got a fair idea of how much more I had, had to drink "for fucks sake Emily why can't you just be normal for once."
I rolled my eyes "fuck off Katie I'm not in the mood."
She pushed this poor guy in front of me "I have brought Joshua here over to meet you so why don't you be nice, you need a nice guy in your life and one to give you a good seeing to."
I felt the anger bubbling up inside me most probably fuelled on by the alcohol "No Katie, I don't need a nice guy and even if I fucking did I am capable of finding my own."
A flash of anger crossed Katie's face and Joshua tried to walk away but she stopped him "well you obviously can't, look at you Emily you're a mess, now why don't you give him a chance."
"No" I shook my head "No, I've had enough Katie; there is only one person I want." I glanced across at Naomi and I saw what I was trying to say register on Katie's face.
She turned to me "don't be stupid Emily."
I tried to walk away but she grabbed my arm "Emily I'm warning you."
"Fuck off Katie" I spat back at her everything finally getting on top of me, the room was spinning and all I could focus on was Naomi with the guy she had picked up. I pulled my arm from her grip and ran towards the exit. I literally flew through the door just needing to escape as the tears rolled down my cheeks. I could hear Katie shouting behind me and I knew I couldn't stop, I couldn't listen to any more of the shit that was coming out of her mouth, I needed to find some strength and finally stand up to her.
Naomi
I could see the hurt all over Emily's face as she downed shot after shot at the bar but I couldn't stop now, Effy had put this plan in place and I needed to make sure Emily knew nothing could ever happen between us. I had seen her arguing with Katie at the bar even though I had tried not to pay any attention, however as soon as I saw her run out something inside made me need to know that she was going to be ok. I noticed Katie going after her shouting abuse at her as usual but Emily just kept on running as Katie and I followed her.
I heard the scream from my own throat as headlights came speeding down the road, the road Emily was currently running over. I screwed my eyes shut not able to watch what was about to happen. I heard Katie scream "noooooo" and I forced my eyes open to see Emily's body bounce off the car bonnet and fall to the floor with a crash. My body was frozen to the spot and everything seemed to happen in slow motion as Katie rushed over to her sister crying.
I never thought I would see Katie Fitch crying but then I never thought I would see Emily Fitch's body lying limp in the middle of the road.
