So high- doja cat

————————————————————————

Lilith woke up to an unfamiliar bedroom, one arm hanging off her bed feeling another hand clasping it.

Where the fuck am I??! She asked herself in her head, attempting to sit up but her head span, a headache pulsing at the back of her head, making her groan in pain, her free hand rubbing her face in exhaustion and confusion.

She looked beside her, seeing a 'French fries' pillow beside her head, the bright colours hurting her eyes. She then looked down, and saw a white tee and the hem of grey joggers on herself under the duvet covering half her body. She was baffled. She remembered NOTHING from the day, or the night before.

She shuffled lazily to the edge of the bed she was laying on, peering down curiously. Her eyes widened when they were met with the sight of a sleeping boy.

The boy she knew, who's name she did not. The buzz cut, the slit in his eyebrow and the side of his hair, the small tattoos on his face.

Wait he's actually sorta pretty.. in a masculine way? I think. She thought to herself, cocking her head as she looked at his full lips, the way his nose was so perfect for his face, the way his chain rested against his neck as he slept.

Or: so she thought.

His eyes opened and he looked straight up at her, making her eyes widen again.

"You gonna keep staring at me like that ma?" He mumbled sleepily, his deep voice sending shivers SPRINTING down her spine.

It was then she realised her hand was still clasped in his. She tried to pull it away sheepishly, but he just tightened his grip.

"Where you going pretty?" He asked, sitting up and resting himself back on his elbows.

"I don't know?? I don't even know where I am dude, the fuck do u expect me to do?" She said, a small wave of panic setting over her. "Oh fuck, aunt Suze and Cass and Lex are gonna be so mad, I've only been here for a few days!! They're gonna kill m-" she was stopped by the boys hand reaching up and slapping over her mouth.

"Pleaseeeee for the love of god shut the fuck up." He groaned, throwing his head back in dismay. "They already know you're here shawty, they ain't gonna fuckin kill you or whatever shit you're panicking about." He scoffed, standing up and straightening his shirt and joggers out.

He threw the spare pillow and blanket back in his closet before turning to her.

He noticed how her hair was sort of disheveled, last nights makeup slightly smudged, mascara tear stains on her cheeks, and yet, through all that, he still somehow managed to find her pretty.

He cleared his throat, tearing his eyes away from her before ruffling the back of his short hair and walking towards the door.

"You should probably like. Come to the kitchen or some shit, Rue is prolly cookin or some shi for breakfast." He said quietly before leaving the room, Lilith now sat on the bed by herself.

She looked around again before pulling the covers off herself, standing up off the bed and leaving his bedroom, walking around to find the bathroom as she had no idea where it was, not even after the night before's little mishap.

She found the bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror and running her fingers through her hair in attempts to brush it out a bit. She rubbed her fingers under her eyes trying to get rid of the day old smudged makeup, and straightened out the oversized tee on her body.

As she went downstairs to the kitchen, the smell of pancakes filled her senses.

She trudged into the kitchen slowly, eyes setting upon Lexi stood in front of the cooker next to rue, the girls chatting away as Lexi guided rue's hands trying to teach her how to flip the pancakes. Fez was leaning against the counter a few feet away from them, watching in amusement. His head turned to the sound of bare feet pattering against the floor, and his eyes softened as he saw the younger girls state.

"Christ, Lils. What shit you getting yourself into these days, huh?" He sighed, standing up and grabbing a glass, filling it up with water before he went into one of the cabinets, pulling out a couple of paracetamol and handing the items to her.

It was baffling to her. She didn't even have to say she was in pain before he knew what she wanted, and what she needed. Was he psychic? Nah she probably still looked just as shitty as she felt.

Rue and Lexi turned their attention to the younger.

"Oh my god Lils, you look awful, no offence." Lexi said in concern. "What were you taking last night?" She asked her. Lilith instantly knew that rue and fez had told her everything.

"Nothing, it doesn't matter." Lilith muttered, before ash walked in, sensing the situation in front of him. He could feel the tension coming from Lilith, and the concern radiating off of everyone else in the room.

"Actually yeah, that's a shout, what were you taking last night lilith?" Ash quizzed. The use of her full name instantly pissed her off, as he always used pet names on her and this was way out of her comfort zone.

"I said it doesn't fucking matter, can you just fuckin drop it??" She spat, glaring at him which just pissed him off in return.

"Nah what the fuck man, u don't get to fuckin snap at me when I just let u sleep in my damn bed!" His voice raised a little bit, and suddenly it was like the rest of them weren't in the room anymore as Lilith's eyes darkened slightly.

She hated interrogation. She hated people quizzing her. She was uncomfortable, physically and emotionally exhausted, and she really did not need this right now.

"Shut the fuck up! Just shut the fuck up please!! I am in so much fucking pain and I really don't need you shoved up my ass half pint, so please jus leave me the fuck alone. I don't need you guys to fucking parent me, I can fucking look after myself!" She yelled, everyone's eyes widening at her words. They didn't know what to do, all just standing there as she slammed her glass down on the counter in front of her, walked to the door, pulled her shoes on, and left without going to get her stuff or anything.

"Clearly fucking not." Ash grumbled, before looking at fez. He couldn't tell how fez felt. Was he angry? Disappointed? Upset? For the first time in 15 years, ash couldn't read his big brother.

"Fuck sake ash. Shoulda jus fuckin left it alone, she clearly ain't ready for this shi right now." Fez sighed, grabbing his keys off the kitchen table and walking to the door to pull his shoes on and go after.

Ash stopped him, holding his hands out to fez. "No, I'll go. I caused this, I should like. Probably sort it I dunno." Ash said quietly, slightly embarrassed that he had to admit that this was on him.

He put his own shoes on before leaving the house, slamming the door behind him and running down to the car, attempting to find the angry girl.

———————— Lilith trudged down the road arms wrapped around her torso as her stomach grumbled in hunger and goosebumps rose on her arms. It was cold out. Very cold. For late June, this was not the weather she expected to be walking in.

She scuffed her air Jordan 1's against the small pebbles on the pavement, before she stopped in the middle of the path, looking around. It was in that moment, she realised that she actually had no idea where she was going. She was lost.

She just walked to the edge of the pavement, sitting on the edge of it and resting her head against her arms as she took a deep breath, trying to figure out what she was meant to do. She left her phone, her clothes, everything back at Fezco's, but she was way too stubborn to give in and go back there, even if it was urgent.

She was sat there for a solid ten minutes, maybe 15, before a car started rolling up near her slowly, suddenly coming to a halt. She didn't bother looking up at the car, or even moving at all. She just stayed sat there, head in her arms, waves of anger and hunger and exhaustion washing over her, her eyes filling with tears of frustration.

She sensed the presence of someone sitting next to her, but she just chose to not look at them, staying in the exact same position as beforehand.

The sensation of a warm hand resting on her arm startled her, making her jump and look up, eyes narrowing as she caught eye contact with the boy from earlier.

"Look shawty..." he mumbled, sensing a change in aura after he called her the nickname. "I'm sorry yeah? Sorry for sayin all that shit and actin like I'm ur parent, and I'm sorry for not stoppin when u were clearly uncomfortable." He said, hand still on her arm as his eyes studied her face, her body, her hair, everywhere.

He noticed the tears in her eyes, not knowing why she was tearing up but also not waiting to find out. She didn't say anything as he pulled her into his side gently, rubbing his hand up and down her arm as he side hugged her.

He noticed how freezing she was, pulling off his zip up and draping it over her shoulders.

"I'm sorry for being a bitch." She whispered, not even looking up at the boy.

He moved so that his face was in front of hers, before smiling and pecking her forehead in an attempt to calm her down.

Without a word, they both stood up and walked to his car, Lils getting in the passenger seat as he got in the drivers side. She already knew they were going back to his again, so she didn't need to ask.

"Wait!" She said, snapping him out of his own little moment as he started the car.

"What, shawty?" He asked, looking at her curiously.

"I never got your name yanno?" She said, making him stifle a small laugh.

"Ashtray. The names ashtray." He muttered, before he turned back to the wheel and they started driving back to his house.
