Chapter 9 (Final Chapter):
Emily couldn't believe it.
She had left her alone again.
She was used to Naomi running when things got too serious and she got scared but she was getting sick of it now. How could she be with someone who ran away as soon as things got complicated?
The thought had been plaguing her the entire walk back out of the forest.
She had ignored Katie's rants and insults and instead grabbed her stuff and took off after Naomi, hoping to catch up with her. The rest of the gang still seemed slightly stunned by the morning's activities but Emily didn't have time to apologise for ruining the camping trip.
She walked as fast as she could but she had a feeling she wouldn't catch up with the blonde.
She walked the entire way back to Naomi's house, knocking on the door loudly and standing back.
It slowly opened and instead of crying like she wanted to Emily just stared back at Naomi with a hard stare. The blonde had slightly red rimmed eyes and Emily wondered internally if the blonde had been crying.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Was all Emily managed to say before shaking her head at Naomi.
"Ems..."Naomi tried to speak but Emily held up her hand and chuckled, a very odd sound in such a tense atmosphere.
"Naomi...I think it's time for me to speak now." Emily said with a wry but weak smile.
"I'm sick of being everyone's doormat. I'm sick of just taking what's given to me so unfairly and not saying anything about it...I've been in love with you since I was thirteen years old..."Emily revealed, laughing a little again but it was hitched by sobs. She was crying and laughing at the same time. She had never been hysterical before but she guessed this was it.
"I've been in love with you since I was thirteen and that's all you have ever done is treat me like crap. The last month had been the best of my life because even though you never said it I could pretend you loved me back...now...not even that's enough." She was full out crying now and Naomi was too stunned to say anything.
"I was just outed to my twin sister and you just ran. Like you always do. I never ask for anything from you Naomi...I never even asked for those three words that I say to you so many times...but I'm asking something of you now." Emily cried, looking at Naomi through a flood of tears.
Naomi gulped back her own tears. "What?" She asked, her voice trembling as she choked it out.
"Stay away from me." Emily replied, her voice was weak but her tone was firm and Naomi's gut twisted when she realised Emily was being serious. This was no joke. The blonde had seriously fucked up.
Before Naomi could reply the red head had turned and walked away from the house, her shoulder's shaking as sobs wracked her entire body. Naomi stood frozen to the spot, watching the hunched figure walk away in complete shock. Surely she hadn't chased away the best damn thing in her life right?

Emily was exhausted. The emotional confrontation with Naomi had beaten the last of her strength out of her so when she got home to see a nasty smirk on her sister's face and serious looks on both her parents she had a feeling her night wasn't going to get better.
"Have fun sis." Katie said with a grin before walking passed her and up the stairs.
Emily just sighed and sat down on the settee opposite her parents, giving them both a tired look.
"Emily...we..."
They were obviously struggling and Emily sighed, looking down at the floor. The last thing she needed tonight was her parent's disappointment.
"You're sister has...told us...that you urm..." Her father trailed off looking very uncomfortable and Emily sighed again only louder, rolling her eyes.
"She said that I'm gay right?" Emily said, getting straight to the point, looking both her parents in the eye rather defiantly. They looked a little taken aback but they'd have to get used to it. Emily wasn't just gunna sit back and be passive anymore. Tonight had made sure of that.
"Well...yes...she said there's this girl...Naomi? That she was...confusing you..." Her mother said quietly, looking at Emily as if searching for something.
"Naomi wasn't confusing me. I'm gay. I like girls. I always have." Emily said bluntly, looking anywhere but at her parents when the room descended into silence.
The quiet was so uncomfortable that the clock sounded very loud in the corner and Emily looked at both her parents to see their reaction. They looked shocked more than anything and Emily just looked away again, waiting for whatever it was they had to say.
"Well...okay...we urm...understand."
Emily's head snapped up at that, staring at her parents with wide eyes. She had heard that wrong right?
"What?" Emily asked in disbelief.
"I said we understand...I mean...you wouldn't sound so sure of yourself if you were just confused. We just wished you would have told us rather than your sister telling us." Her mother said with a sad sort of motherly smile.
Now it was Emily who was stunned.
Weren't parents supposed to go nuts and kick you out when you told them you were gay?
That's what she had always thought anyway.
"So...you don't mind?" Emily asked in surprise.
"No. Of course not we may be old fogies but give us some credit." Her dad chuckled a little bit making Emily smile as well.
"We want to meet this Naomi girl though. Emily says you've been seeing her." Her mother said.
Emily's eyes dropped at that and she shook her head.
"Sorry but no. Me and Naomi aren't...it's complicated." Emily finished rather sadly.
Her parents took the hint and nodded slowly. Sharing a look before standing and giving Emily a hug and kiss, they excused themselves saying they had to make dinner and Emily watched them go with a wistful sort of smile.
At least something had gone right today.

I can't believe I fucked up so bad.
Why the hell had I left...just ran out on her like that...
I've been staring down at my phone now for ages, staring at Emily's number but doing nothing about it. If I called her what would I say?
I had no idea.
"Naomi?"
I looked up to see my mother standing in the doorway looking at me with a soft smile on her face.
"Did I see Emily at the door earlier?"
I just sighed and rolled my eyes at her.
"Why ask. You know that you saw her." I replied, annoyance lacing my voice as I stared back down at my phone. I expected her to leave after that but she didn't. She just stood there looking at me.
"Just to let you know...she's a great girl. Sometimes it's the last person you expect who makes you happy. Maybe you should just let yourself be happy for once."
By the time I looked up. My mother was gone.

56.
56 missed calls.
That was impressive Emily thought as she stared down blankly at her display screen on her phone. All calls were from Naomi but she wasn't about to reply to them anytime soon.
If the blonde wasn't brave enough to fucking admit what was going on between them was real and not just some experiment then Emily wasn't gunna give her the pleasantry of a returned phone call.
I shoved my phone back into my locker and spun around ready to leave only to come face to face with the very blonde girl I was desperate to avoid.
We just stared at each other.
Blue eyes meeting brown but our moment was shattered when someone wolf whistled nearby.
"Bring on the lesbian action!" A guy cheered from just down the hall.
I just shook my head in annoyance but Naomi went a step further and raised her middle finger to him, not even bothering to turn to look at who it was. All her attentions were focused on the small red head in front of her.
"Guess you were right. You did say we'd get shit once Katie found out. I think she posted it on fucking facebook or something." Emily muttered.
She had had odd looks and catcalls all morning.
"Yeah I guess so." Naomi nodded.
"So what are you doing here? When someone ignores your calls it means they don't want to see you Naomi." Emily said trying to act casual as she tried to step passed her. Naomi just stepped in the way again however and smiled down at her.
"I'm not letting that happen."
Emily frowned at that and looked up at Naomi with a curious look.
"I'm sorry okay." Naomi sighed, looking down nervously before meeting the red heads eyes again.
"I'm sorry for being a fuck up and I'm sorry for being a coward. You have every right to walk away from me but there was one thing you were wrong about and I think I deserve to correct you on it." Naomi said bravely.
Emily just raised an eyebrow and laughed.
"Are you serious? You think I was wrong? Okay how was I wrong?" Emily barked.
"You said I didn't love you."
Those words knocked Emily for six and she could do nothing but blink stupidly at the taller girl.
"I do love you." Naomi continued on, uncaring of the many ears who were listening in.
Effy, Freddie and JJ stood nearby, leaning against some lockers and they were all smiling at the adorable couple.
"About t-t-ttime." JJ smiled.
"Are you taking the piss?" Emily asked quietly. Not believing that she was hearing these words pass from between Naomi's lips. She had never expected this.
"No I'm definitely not. Emily Fitch...I love you...even if you are totally gay." She added as a lame attempt at a joke to lighten the mood.
Emily couldn't help but laugh even as happy tears filled her eyes.
"Do I get to kiss you now?" Naomi asked quietly and with a playful smirk.
Emily just nodded simply.
She guessed sometimes you really did get your happily ever after.
The End
