Effys story (a skins fanfic)

Reunions (12)

JJ was sat in the chair staring at me in shock.

"Effy? No but that can't be right, because Freddie is dead and you should have left, you did leave, and now your back, in Freddie's shed, Infront of me, and it's been 2 years and that means.."

"I did leave jj, and now I'm back" I replied interrupting him before he got locked on.

"Right" he replied.

The room went silent for a while neither of us knowing what to say.

"I did miss you jj" I spoke finally relieving the tension.

"I missed you too effy" he smiled at me and I smiled back.

"I er.. Have a trick for you, do you want to see it?" He blushed.

"Sure" I replied.

He pulled a stick out of his pocket and snapped it in half. He put both halves in his other hand and waved it up and down. He slowly opened his hand to reveal a red rose where the sticks were. He passed me the rose and I took it carefully and placed it beside me.

"Thanks jj, that was really cool"

"Yes..er..thanks effy, I've been working on it" he blushed.

"So why are you still here? Didn't you want to do something with your life after college?" I asked.
I mean, he got a get out of jail free card when college ended, yet he still stayed here.

"Well after you and cook left and Freddie died, I was left here and I didn't choose a university in time so I've been hanging out in here when I'm alone"

"What about Lara?" I asked remembering his girlfriend.

"She works a lot but when she come home, it's just great, perfectly great and I think... I think I love her" he smiled as a blush crept onto his face.

"I'm glad your happy jj"

"And are you happy effy?"

"I think I probably am jj" I smiled as I found some leftover spliff under Freddie's chair. I rolled it up, placed it in my mouth and lit the end as I took a drag.

Suddenly the door burst open to reveal cook with a bag of food in his hand.

"Eff sorry I took a while, I was just getting us some proper.." He stopped as he noticed jj.

"Oh god, JJ man? I've missed you" Cook uttered as he walked over to jj and hugged him hard.

"Yes hello cook, I have missed you a lot too" jj replied as he hugged cook back.

"How are ya doing J-man" Cook asked jj.

"Okay cook, I'm doing alright on my own for once but tell me, when Freddie died, why did you leave me here?"

"Listen jj we couldn't take you with us we needed to leave and some things we faced, you wouldn't have been able to cope with" Cook answered in a serious tone.

"But we are back now jj, and we are staying" I added to try and make jj feel better.

"Okay but please don't leave again cook, when U left me it..it.was like losing both of my bestfriends"

"I won't jj we're here to stay" Cook replied.

"So everyone else has scattered out of this place I'm guessing" I asked.

"Well, kinda, Emily and Naomi moved to Spain together, panda went to France to find Thomas and I haven't seen Katy in 6 months"

"Right well there's something we need to tell you jj"

"Okay what about?"

"Freddie"

Jj swallowed as the shed door swung open and Freddie burst in clutching a bag of who knows what.

Jj glanced at the figure in the door and stared in shock.
He then started to whack his head over and over as if trying to get the image out of his head.

"It's not real it's not real it's not real it's not real" he kept repeating to himself,

Freddie walked over to jj and grabbed his hand to stop his self abuse.

"Jj your going to give yourself a headache" Freddie smiled with tears glinting in his eyes, I knew how much he had always cared for jj.

"Am I dreaming, I must be dreaming or hallucinating, this can't be real, Freddie died Freddie is dead, gone and now..."

"Jj listen to me, I'm here, I promise I didn't die, I survived and now I'm here with you"

"But..Freddie" jj looked so confused.

"Jj trust me" Freddie said.

Jj threw his arms around Freddie and Freddie did the same to him.

"Oh Freddie are you sure this is real"

"Yes jj and I missed you"

"I missed you so much Freddie, I thought you had left me forever" jj replied finally letting go of Freddie.

"No Jj, I just had to get away for a bit" Freddie replied glancing at me and cook.

"Have you been alright jj?"

"Yes, in fact better than alright, I was just telling effy how me and Lara couldn't be happier together"

"That's great jj" Freddie smiled and I'm sure he meant it.

"Well now we're all back together, there's only one thing to do"

"What's that?"

"Time to go out partying"

"And to get totally wasted" I added as I smiled at everyone raising my eyebrows.

Everyone else nodded in agreement and we started to get up to leave the shed and go our separate ways. Just before I left the shed I felt someone tap my shoulder.

It was jj.

"I'm glad you and Freddie are back here together effy, I hope you realise how strongly you feel about each other before it's too late"

"Thank you jj, i know how time can destroy things"

Jj nodded and began to walk on but I stopped him.
"I'm sorry we left you here jj"

"It's okay effy, I'm just glad your all back"

"Yes, I guess, me too" I mumbled to my self as I left my shed in the rain and stumbled home with my hood up.
