Waiting On You [18+]

Wiping the tears falling freely from her eyes as she stared at the same spot in her room - she hadn't even noticed the girls come into her room.

"Naomi" Tiana sighed, sitting on her bed - reaching out to grab ahold of her hand

Flinching at the feeling of another person touching her, Naomi clutched the covers tighter to her body, burying her face in her pillow as she silently cried

"Naomi talk to us, we hate seeing you like this" Liv frowned as she tried to move the covers out of Naomi's face - to finally see her for the first time in about a week

Yes, a week, maybe a bit more. Time had been a bit fuzzy for Naomi. But regardless, Theo had dropped her back to the girls house - where Naomi had fallen silent in the car, refusing to talk out of embarrassment, fear and just mental recuperation. So the moment they got to the house, Theo looked over and found her fast asleep, exhausted from the day she'd just had, and instead of waking her - he carried her to her bedroom and left her alone.

Tiana came home shortly after, checking on Naomi and then decided to leave her alone and had made Liv and Eliza aware that they should all check on Naomi whenever possible

Aimee had practically began to live at the house as well, coming over at all times of the day, after lectures or after seeing Ollie just to check in and make sure she was there when Naomi was ready to talk.

Climbing onto her bed and laying down, wrapping her arms around Naomi's duvet covered body, Aimee cuddled her as she said, "We miss you Naomi"

Realising, she hadn't rejected her touch, whether that was because there was a thick duvet between them or Naomi simply appreciated the cuddle, Aimee whispered, "Do you wanna tell us what happened at the BBQ?"

Immediately after, Naomi shook her head no, as the girls once hopeful of Naomi's hard exterior breaking, sighed at her going straight back to refusing to talk.

Kneeling down to the same height as Naomi's face laying on her pillow, Eliza wiped the tear falling down Naomi's cheek as she said, "You're clearly upset Naomi, at least tell us what you want - what do you need?"

In a choked sob, Naomi whispered, "Theo" as all the girls looked at each other only now wondering where the hell was Theo during all of this.

Had they broken up?

Was Theo giving her space?

Were they on another break?

"That's it, just Theo. That's all you need right now?" Liv clarified as she got her phone out to call him

Nodding her head, under the covers, Naomi hadn't even noticed Aimee had somehow managed to unconcoon her little fortress and slip under the covers and cuddle Naomi's actual body

"We love you Naomi, you know that right" Aimee smiled as Naomi's eyes widened at Aimee's ability to be so stealth and get next to her, but within a moment Naomi relaxed - letting Aimee spoon her as she accepted the embrace

"Call him" Eliza nodded, needing Theo to get there asap, because no way was he practically on his knees for this girl and now she was upset, so lonely, so broken and he was no where to be found

Liv, found Theo's contact on her phone and called him, putting it on speaker for the entire room to hear

The girls all practically held their breath as they heard each ring after the other, not knowing whether Theo would pick up or not.

What would be worse?

Him not picking up and gone AWOL

Or...
