Come and get it- Selena Gomez ————————————————————Lilith let out a long, dragged out breath as she looked over the side of the Ferris wheel cart, the view of the entire carnival in sight.

Ash sat beside her, hand holding hers tightly as he also looked over the side of the cart sheepishly, a little less enthusiastically.

"Yo, shawty, you mind like, not rockin the cart?" Ash mumbled, Lilith looking at him before giggling.

"Why? You scared, playboy?" She laughed, rocking the cart more aggressively as ash went pale, shaking his head a bit.

"Nah stop, please stop!" He said, grabbing her shoulders and stopping her from moving as she laughed in his grip.

"Oh get a grip, it's perfectly safe." Lilith threw her head back, laughing before she stood up, walking around the small cart freely as ash tried his best to get her to sit back down.

"No-" ash was cut off when Lilith straddled his lap, trailing her finger down from his lips, down his chin, down the side of her neck, her perfectly manicured nail tugging the collar of his shirt lightly before she pulled her hand away.

"You're fine, ash." She smirked, standing up off his lap and sitting beside him again, leaning back over the side of the cart as the wind swept her perfectly curled hair.

Ash was baffled. Flabbergasted. Discombobulated, he couldn't comprehend these feelings he was feeling in such a small period of time. God he loved the way she made him feel, it was intoxicating.

He leaned over to her and pressed a gentle kiss on her chin, Lilith still leaning back over the cart, before trailing small kisses down her throat, moving to the side of her neck.

He felt her squirm slightly under his touch as he smirked, hands trailing up her thighs, resting on her waist as he sucked and nibbled on her sweet spot gently, a weak moan emitting from Lilith's lips before she sat up straight and stared at him with dark eyes.

"Don't be starting something you won't finish, pretty boy." She whispered, kissing him before pulling away and smirking at the expression that crossed his face.

"What makes you think I won't finish that shi? Right here right now?" He mumbled, lips brushing hers lightly as his fingers played with the waist of her skirt.

Lilith's cheeks were covered with a deep blush as she nudged him slightly, giggling and shaking her head. The thing was, she knew he was 200000% serious.

"Shut up, we'll continue this conversation later." She smirked, standing up as the ride came to a stop and they were at the bottom, Lilith leaving the cart while dragging ash hastily behind him.

—————————

The couple had been back in the pretzel truck for the past hour, and Lilith was beginning to get hungry. She sighed deeply, tracing her manicured nail over her thigh, drawing small shapes in her skin before turning to ash.

"I should go get a new set soon, these ones are growing out." Lilith huffed, making ash smile a bit and nod.

"Yeah das fine ma, whatever you want."

"What- no I don't mean- you're not paying for them ashtray. I just meant like, I should go soon." Lilith giggled, shaking her head a bit at her boyfriend who looked almost offended by her statement.

"Um? Im your boyfriend, if my girl wants new nails I pay for her new nails. It's like, the unspoken rule of the boyfriends." Ash said, striding over to her and tilting her head up to face her by playing a finger under her chin and gently moving it upwards.

Lilith just stared up at him, unable to form a sentence as she admired her boyfriends features. He was so beautiful, the most gorgeous boy she'd ever met and that said a hell of a lot considering she came from New York.

"Fuck, you're so beautiful." Ash whispered, breaking Lilith's trance as she continued to stare up at him, her boyfriend returning the gaze.

"Whatever. She mumbled, turning her head away and blushing. "I'm gonna go get some food, I'm getting kind of hungry. You want anything?" She asked, standing up and smiling a bit at her shocked boyfriend.

"You just ruined our mome- you know what, never mind." Ash sighed, pulling a 20 from his pocket and holding it out to his girlfriend. "Get yourself whatever you want, and I'll just have a cheeseburger. I love you." He said, pressing a soft kiss to his girlfriends cheek as he walked past her towards the front of the truck where people again stood.

"For sure. I'll see you in a bit." Lilith shouted over her shoulder as she grabbed her bag and left, heading straight towards the burger vans.

——————————

Lilith headed back to the truck from the burger vans, she took a different rout and decided to walk the long way round to see the carnival from different sides.

As she passed the huge trailers nearer the far right of the carnival, she stopped dead in her tracks, hearing a man's deep voice and a girls whimper, small chokes being heard too.

Lilith placed her plastic bag with food in it down beside one of the trailers, reaching into her bag and pulling out her knife and holding it tight in a way that was unable to be seen from any angle but behind.

She took a few steady, quiet steps, making sure she didn't stand on anything crispy like leaves or wrappers, placing her feet strategically as she peeked her head around the side of one of the trailers carefully, her eyes widening at the sight in front of her.

Her heart dropped into her stomach, her jaw clenching as she resisted the urge to throw up at the sight.

Nate stood, tall and brooding, hand wrapped tight around Maddy's throat as the smaller girls eyes widened, tear and terror filled as she choked and quietly sputtered for desperate breaths.

Lilith very carefully pulled her phone from her bag and took many many photos of them, without the flash obviously, from many angles before shoving it back in her bag and looking back over to the couple, Maddy still being choked hard against the trailer.

She bit her lip hard before taking a deep breath and nodding to herself, stepping out from behind the trailer and cocking her head, a certain darkness in her eyes as Maddy and Nate's heads snapped towards her.

Maddy looked relieved to see her former best friend stood there before them, thankful that she'd just most likely saved her. Nate, on the other hand, was not so glad to see her.

"Lilith Bevan." Nate spat through clenched teeth, making Lilith chuckle a little and shake her head.

"Wow Nate, I knew you were abusive, but holy fuck this takes the damn cake!" Lilith laughed, clearly amused but not in the sense that she found it funny. She was amused because oh boy was she fucking angry at what she'd just stumbled across.

Nate kissed his teeth and released his hand from Maddy's neck, the smaller girl falling down a bit and choking a few sharp breaths, holding her neck as a few tears rolled down her cheeks.

Lilith almost softened at the sight, but regained all strong composure when she remembered that this situation was absolutely nowhere near over with for many reasons.

"What the fuck are you doing here Lilith?" Nate asked, almost too calmly for Lilith's liking as she shook her head again.

"You don't need to know that. In fact, this is where I come in and say that it's actually going to be me talking and you listening. Got it?" The younger girl asked, making Nate frown in amusement and confusion as she took a few steps forward.

"Right. Well, since you seem to always forget, Maddy is my best friend. And, as Maddy's best friend, I'm not going to allow anyone, especially the boy who's meant to love her, put their hands on her. And that is in ANY way. So, here's the deal Nate. You're going to leave Maddy the fuck alone from now on, because I have dirt on you AND your family that you were probably completely unaware I had. You get that?" Lilith said, tightening the grip on her knife a bit as Nate took a few steps towards her.

"Oh yeah, and what would that be, half pint? What the fuck do you think you can do that will be so damn life changing? What, you think I'm scared of you?" Nate laughed sadistically, making Lilith giggle along with him.

"Go fuck yourself." She whispered, before cocking an eyebrow and smirking. "I mean, I'm not sure you'd even have to fuck yourself actually. I'm sure your gay pedophile dad will happily do that for you."

Nate snapped at that, swinging a clenched fist and delivering a harsh right hook to Lilith's face.

Surprisingly, she barely even stumbled back, but she did stand holding her face in shock for a few seconds before stepping towards him and slipping her knife in front of herself, holding it to his neck and pressing ever so slightly, not enough to wound him but enough to very lightly draw blood.

She heard his breath hitch at the action, and Maddy gasp before beginning to beg Lilith to stop. Maddy had been begging them to stop beforehand, especially when Nate had hit Lilith, but now it was much more frantic.

"Watch yourself, Jacobs. I can fuck you up within seconds, and I won't fucking hesitate if you keep pushing me." Lilith whispered to him, their faces inches apart as he panted in utter fury and fear.

Lilith pulled away from him, continuing to hold the knife out towards him as she cautiously walked over to Maddy, grabbing her former best friend by the hand and keeping the knife out in front of them with the other.

"Get the fuck out of here. NOW." She screamed, making Nate walk off hurriedly before she turned to Maddy, tears filling her eyes at the sight of the older girl.

"I'm s-so sorry lilith- I'm so f-fucking stupid I fell for h-his shit again and a-almost lost you because of it." Maddy sobbed, bottom lip wobbling slightly as she choked on her tears, clearly still fucked off her face from the molly and now extremely scared and jittery after the encounter with her abusive (hopefully now ex again) boyfriend.

"Fucking hell. I love you mads, we'll talk about this tomorrow though. Let's get you back to ashtrays truck, yeah?" The younger asked, making Maddy nod slightly and choke on another sob as Lilith interlocked their fingers, grabbing hers and ashtrays food and walking with Maddy to the pretzel truck.
