And Naomilyftw, yes it was indeed the Florence + The Machine version I used for inspiration : ) As you know reviews are really, really appreciated, love to know what you guys like or don't like about it.

Chapter 11 – A Meeting and a Mistaking
Emily's POV – The Fitch Front Garden
"Right Miss, I'm going to have to take your name and address, please" The police officer stated, as the eight of us stood there.
Naomi cleared her throat "Naomi Campbell" She replied.
He stared up with narrowed eyes from his notepad. He thought she was using a fake name.
"Oh, fancy yourself a bit of a comedienne do you?" He retorted.
She sighed heavily "No, that's my real name" She protested, the annoyance obvious in her voice.
"Right, right, and I suppose this is your mate Kate Moss, is it?" He sneered, pointing at me.
She just sighed heavily again and stared at him, not amused at his shit joke.
"Right, we'll start again. Name please?" He stated again.
"She just told you her name" Effy declared. "Stupid wanker" She muttered under her breath.
"Her name really is Naomi Campbell, show him your provisional Nai" I reasoned, before she reached for her ID out of her purse.
"Happy now?" She asked, as she shoved it in his face.
"Right, right well at least we're getting somewhere" He replied sheepishly, taking the address down off the card.
"Officer, this is stupid. You don't have to do this, the kids have done no harm" Dad protested.
"I'm sorry sir, but an official complaint has been made, so I'll have to take the names and addresses of all of those here" The officer replied, as he wrote something down. "Right. You. Name" He demanded looking at Pandora.
"Oh erm, Pandora Moon, sir" She replied nervously.
He stared up with narrowed eyes again from his notepad. Funny how I'd never realised how much Panda's name sounded like a fake one till now.
"What?!" Panda asked innocently, as everyone started laughing.

The Next Day – The LGBT Centre
I sat there trying to desperately repress the laughter from escaping my lips as I sat their gazing at Naomi who was staring absent-mindedly out of the window obviously think about something far off. She was playing lazily with her necklace. She bored as hell.
"So….what did you think?" I asked with a hint of amusement in my voice, after the speaker had finished.
"Oh, yeah, yeah, it was…erm, interesting...informative, yeah, very informative" She replied uneasily.
"You were bored as hell" I stated teasingly, with a grin.
"What? No I wasn't...I wasn't" She replied the pitch in her voice rising.
"Naomi, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I know you. And I know when you're bored" I stated casually.
"Oh yeah?" She smirked.
"Yeah. You play with your necklace when you're bored" I replied.
"No I don't" She protested weakly, rubbing the back of her neck.
"Yes, you do. And you rub the back of your neck when you're lying" I stated, as her hand fell from the back of her neck.
"Yeah, well…whatever" She replied rolling her eyes in mock annoyance.
"Hey, you two, over here" Jamie called, as we spun around to see him and Katie taking to Grace and Aslan.
"Alright, JD" Naomi inquired grinning, using 'JD' to wind Katie up.
"Hey, JD!" I beamed as Katie gave me and Naomi her death stare.
"Hey, you alright girls. You remember Grace and Aslan, right?" Jamie asked, nodding to them as Grace smiled at me and Naomi and Aslan nodded back.
"Yeah, yeah of course" Emily replied.
"So…no Effy today?" Grace asked casually.
"Oi, you" Jamie teased.
"What? I'm only asking" Grace protested, grinning.
"Urgh, you don't fancy Effy do you?" Katie retorted.
"Why not, she's cute" Grace replied.
"Cute?! Urgh, you must be joking" Katie snorted.
"She's alright" Naomi pondered aloud, as my snapped towards her. "What?" She added when she saw me staring at her.
"I can not believe you've just said that" I stated laughing.
"Oh, really? I've seen the way you look at her sometimes" She teased.
"What?! No I don't!" I protested, my voice sounding strange.
"Ah, but Emily, I know you just as well as you know me, because I know when you're lying, because you blush like a loon and your voice goes all high" She declared triumphantly grinning.
"Oh…Shut up" I retorted laughing shoving her, as I felt my cheeks burning.
"So, Katie, when Jamie said he'd met someone from the centre I was very curious to see who it was" Aslan stated. "He's very lucky to have found someone as pretty as you" He added smiling.
"Oh, don't. You'll make me blush" Katie beamed, as me and Naomi just glanced at each other rolling our eyes.
"No, really I mean it. You can't even notice where your Adam's apple was. That's usually a dead give away" He replied grinning sheepishly, oblivious to the huge mistake he had just made.
"What?" Katie exclaimed, as me, Naomi, Grace and Jamie just exchanged knowing looks, all desperately trying to hold in the laughter.
"Nothing, nothing, it was a joke. Right, Aslan?" Jamie lied, trying to make his voice sound casual, as he stared at Aslan with raised eyebrows.
"Oh, yeah, yeah. Just a joke, that's me, always 'aving a laugh" Aslan relied, before turning to Grace with a look of confusion on his face.
"Hmm, right, well I think we better get going hun, if we want to catch that film at six" Katie declared, glancing at Aslan.
"Yeah, yeah, of course. Right well then guys, I'll see you two at next practice" Jamie said nodding at Grace and Aslan. "And I'll see you two at Panda's next Saturday for her and Thomas's one year and a quarter anniversary party" Jamie added.
"Yeah, see you's there" Katie added, before they made their way out of the centre waving back to us.
"One year and a quarter?" Grace asked confused.
"Yeah, it's our friend Panda. Don't ask" I replied laughing.

That Night – Naomi's Bedroom
I never realised how much you could miss something. We lay in Naomi's bed, my head resting on Naomi's shoulder as we talked lazily about the events of today and yesterday.
"I think I'm still trying to get over the shock of you singing in the front garden" I announced.
"Why? I wasn't that bad" She replied. "I think Jamie might even ask me to join the band"She added casually.
I just looked at her.
"What? I would be a valued member of The Assassins" She replied innocently.
"You mean The Last Assassins?" I corrected her grinning.
"Yeah, well, you know what I mean" She relied lazily. "So yesterday…" She added nervously.
"Yeah…" I replied quietly, my heart starting beating faster who some reason.
"Well, it's just…did Katie" She sighed, I looked up at her scared of what she was about to say. "Did Katie talk to you? Did she tell you that we met up" She added in a rush.
I knew what she meant; all I could manage was a weak nod in response.
"Oh…good. So she did tell you what I told her…about" She cleared her throat. "About Cook?"
"Naomi…"I started.
"Because I want you to know that is the truth. Nothing happened, nothing ever could…with anyone. I love you" She stated staring into my eyes.
"I know. I just, I was scared of losing you…again. I over reacted, I'm sorry. I love you too" I replied soberly.
I leaned my head up, finding her lips with mine.
"I still can't believe your mum rang the police" Naomi laughed.
"Really? I wouldn't have put it past her. I think Aslan mistaking Katie for a transsexual was more shocking" I replied giggling.
"Oh, I don't know her voice does go quite deep when she's got a cob on…" She added lazily, grinning.
"Oi you! Be nice" I said slapping her arm playfully.
"Alright, alright…that's technically abuse you know" She retorted with a stupid grin on her face.
"Yeah? Well you better behave yourself or you'll get worse" I teased.
"Ooh, is it that a promise?" She chimed.
