And so the tears came...

Bedsit: Can't Take The Pain
Day 17, 04:36
Sunday 13 June

Seeing Marco in a highly emotional state tonight hit Emma hard. And when he headed to the treatment room for a quiet think, the floodgates opened in the Big Brother Bedsit, Bigtime...

Though the law student had perked up after a pep talk and a hug from his remaining bosom buddy Nadia, he crept away from the group in the early hours to snuggle under a duvet.

There, the droopy-mouthed one lay lost in his ponderings.

"It's like he's got a broken heart," cried an emotional Michelle at this forlorn scene. But Emma couldn't take it, and started trying to communicate with him through the plasma screen as though she truly believed he could somehow hear her cries.

"Stop thinking..." she demanded with tears in her eyes. "Stop it, Marco. Stop worrying what people think."

"He needs to get out!" she shouted in Michelle's direction, "Look at his face!"

Emma tries telepathy to cheer up Marco


Fat tears started to roll down her face as she watched her unhappy chum. "I can't do nuffing! I can't give you no advice!" she sniffed.

As Marco sat up and wiped his nose on a hankie, Emma planted a kiss on his head, and let the waterworks go.

"Come on, gimme a smile," she wailed.

"He's just sorting it out in his head," insisted Michelle. "You deal with things differently Emma. He needs to do this."

But the Oldham lass was not to be consoled.

"Get out there and start enjoying yourself!" she shouted at the screen.

Wondering why he was being left alone, she telepathically urged Nadia to go and offer her already tear-stained shoulder. "Go and have a chat with him, NOW!" she stammered through loud sniffs.

"She will," said an increasingly exasperated Michelle, "But she understands what I'm telling you, he needs to do this."

"He's not here to Worry! You don't see me sitting here worrying," the red-face one responded.

"It's like my mum says...oh..."

But she never finished her sentence, instead sparking up a comforting cigarette and turning away from the screen.

Are we ever to discover what Emma's mum thinks?
