Title: Lies need alibis.

Notes: I do not consider myself a writer. I just have a lot of spare time on my hands. Apologies for the spelling/grammar.

There's always a moment in time that you wish you could replace with one slightly less shitty. You could basically pinpoint this one. It wasn't a series of things all built up over time to create one big giant volcanic eruption, it was just one moment of stupidity, utter stupidity. It's not even like she didn't know what she was saying, or that she didn't intentionally say it but Naomi knew that she'd said something she shouldn't have by the look of complete betrayal spread across Emily's face.

'Shit! I'm sorry!' she tried only to see Emily turn her back and walk off with a 'what the fuck Naomi' yelled back in her general direction. Locker doors slammed as kids filled the corridors leaving for their afternoon classes. Naomi didn't bother chasing. Instead she took a deep sigh and turned around to grab her books.

This wasn't an uncommon thing anymore. Emily was always taking things Naomi said to heart. She never quite got her sarcasm. She never quite understood that it was a defence mechanism Naomi had which she used in situations she felt uncomfortable or intimidated in. They seemed to be in a fight more often that not these days. She shut her locker door and walked off to politics figuring she would be forgiven after an Emily free afternoon.

Naomi stood by the bike shed waiting for Emily as she did every day so they could walk home together. She'd been waiting ten minutes before she sent her a text.

'Where are you? Why are you taking ages?'

After another five minutes and no reply she lit up a cigarette and set off towards home on her own. She hadn't got far when she felt someone grab her shoulder.

'You coming out with us tonight then or what Naomikins?

Cook infuriated Naomi at times with his seeming lack of respect to anyone that wasn't himself but he did have a good side.

'Not sure, why who's going?'

'Me… that's all that matters aint it?' His arrogance bothered her too. 'and probably everyone else except you if you don't come'

'I'll think about it.'

'That's a girl! Catch ya later on then yeah?' and he disappeared off.

The house was empty when Naomi got home which was something she still wasn't quite used to, but she appreciated the silence. She checked her phone quickly before making herself something to eat. Who knows where Gina was or when she'd be back. Still no reply from Emily made her worry a little so she called her mobile only to reach her voice mail. Naomi tried to keep clear from Katie. Whilst they'd mostly sorted out their differences things were still a little awkward and they were only really civil to each other to keep Emily happy. Texting her to find out Emily's whereabouts didn't feel like the best idea. She was sure Emily had her reasons; it was just unusual for her not to mention them that was all.

'COOK!' Panda screamed before making her way over.

That's what they always did on nights like this. They waited outside for everyone to get there before they all went in together. They figured arriving in a big group looked less suss and maybe that they were actually of age. Katie always went in first, generally with her tits hanging out all over the place, followed by Effy. JJ and Panda were always last to go in, only really because they were the mostly likely to screw it up. JJ with his inability to lie and Panda… for just being Panda.

So far it was only Cook, Panda and Effy. Panda told them Thomas wasn't coming cos they'd had a fight and weren't talking and surf and turf just messes up everything. It was freezing outside and they were getting increasingly impatient as Freddie and JJ turned up. 'Sorry we're late' JJ apologised 'I couldn't find any clean underwear and mother says I should never leave the house without clean underwear incase I get hit by a bus… which is a terribly unlikely incident to occur but I suppose the one time I am wearing dirty under…' 'JJ!' Cook and Freddie interrupted simultaneously.

'Sorry… again' JJ muttered as Effy got a text.

'Katie's inside already lets go' she said turning her back on the group heading up the stairs.

It wasn't very often Emily got to sit alone in her room… their room. She had to admit to herself that she liked it, the peace and quiet but she did miss Katie. Things hadn't really been the same between them for quite some time now. Emily began to feel a little guilty for her silent treatment on Naomi. She had received a text a few hours earlier that she hadn't replied to.

'Look, Im sorry for being a bitch. Come over. I'll make it up to you ;)'

As awfully tempting as it sounded she chose to ignore it for reasons she couldn't remember so she finally text back.

'It's okay. Just stop being a mole. Did u wanna go out with the others or just want me to come round?'

Naomi's reply was unexpectedly quick.

'Come round'

Naomi sat out on her front step waiting for Emily. She had three jumpers and a coat on sipping her coffee and having a smoke. She was still cold. When Emily finally arrived it had started to rain.

'Nice helmet' Naomi giggled

'Shut up and let me in im bloody freezing!'

Naomi opened the door and grabbed for Emily's had leading her in.

'I brought you something' Emily said placing a piece of paper on the kitchen table. 'Don't laugh though.' Naomi turned the page to see a cartoon drawing of her and her girlfriend, of Emily planting a kiss on Naomi's forehead.

'I love it' Naomi giggled. 'It's going straight on my wall' and she skipped off towards her bedroom. That's what she did. Anything of importance got put on her wall. Emily followed throwing her bag down on the floor. Emily felt her pocket vibrate and got out her phone to check. 'I love you.' Is all it said. 'I love you to Katie. Look after yourself.'

'Come lay with me' Naomi asked demanding Emily's attention. Emily climbed on the bed leaning in and giving Naomi a kiss on the lips. 'I love you, you know that?'

There were many things about Emily that sent her crazy. Her smell, her eyes, the way she moved her mouth when she spoke. Just looking at her. It was the simplest of things. She was perfect. Naomi thought she was perfect. So she grabbed Emily by the collar of her shirt and pulled her on top of her. 'Naomi, I'm sorry about before its just..' 'Shut up and kiss me' and with that she pulled Emily in by her collar and kissed her, felt her, tasted her. Their hands moved all over each other like they couldn't get enough. Each touch needed to be followed by another, and another. Naomi ran her hand under Emily shirt unhooking her bra, still kissing her each breath getting deeper and deeper. 'I need you' Emily breathed into Naomi's ear. 'I need you too.' They couldn't get close enough to each other, they were so close but it just didn't feel close enough.

Their moment was interrupted by Emily's phone ringing. "leave it' Naomi insisted pulling her in to kiss her more. 'What if it's important?' 'It's not.' And she ran her hand across Emily's inner thigh and it didn't feel so important anymore.

'I could lay here forever' Emily said running her fingers through Naomi's hair.

'So could I if your phone would stop bloody ringing Christ that's the fourth fucking time answer it would you?' Emily climbed out of bed and rummaged through the pile of clothes on the floor trying to find her cardigan. Naomi wasn't wrong she had four missed calls two from Effy and two from Cook.

'Their probably just drunk or high or lost of all of the above' Emily laughed to herself typing a text out to Effy. 'Oi whats up, way to ruin my sex life!'

It didn't take long for Effy to reply and when she did the colour completely dropped from Emily's face, her eyes filling with tears.

'Drunk, high and lost?' Naomi asked.

Emily's eyes began to fill with tears. 'No… it's Katie.'
