"Drink this." Amy said, as her and Zoe rushed in with a large bottle of water.
Brooke took a gulp of the water.
"How did you get so drunk?" Audrey asked.
"I gave her a shot and I didn't really-"
"I got myself drunk, thank you." Brooke interrupted Zoe.
"Yeah, it wasn't your fault." Amy smiled at Zoe.

"Brooke!" Her father ran in. "Brooke, honey, what were you thinking?!"
"What I said was the truth, dad." She paused for a moment. "Jake would've like that speech." Brooke sighed.
Quinn put his hands on Brooke's arm. "Honey, come on," He whispered, pulling her into a hug. "I better get you home."

"Wait, you brought alcohol?" Noah asked Zoe, once they'd left and as Emma ran out of the tent.
"It was for mine and Amy's nerves, originally." Zoe sighed.
"You've had nothing to be nervous about, that speech was amazing." Noah told his girlfriend.

"So was yours." Eli said, making the four spin around.
"You saw it?" Amy asked, running towards him and hugging him. "I thought I told you to stay put."
"And miss your speech?" Eli laughed. "No way."
Amy turned back to Audrey, who was glaring at Eli. She rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand. "Since we were so rudely interrupted by Miss, I think we should go back and finish what we started."
Eli smirked and nodded. "I'd love that."
Amy looked over at Audrey, hoping to see her stood there, looking annoyed, but she'd left." She sighed before turning back to Eli. "Let's go."

"I love you so much." Eli whispered as he sat down on the seat at one of the dressing tables. Amy straddled his lap and held his cheeks in her hands and kissing him.
"I love you too." She said, pulling away and smirking.
Eli began to place soft kisses on her neck, occasionally sucking at her skin. Amy threw her head. "Just for the record... we're not doing this here." She said in between whimpers.
"What do you mean this?" Eli asked, pulling away.
Amy grinned and bit her lip. "You know what I mean; I don't want my first time to be in a carnival tent."
Eli laughed. "I know, I know. But-"
They were cut off by the sounds of sirens and policemen yelling. Amy got up off Eli's lap and moved a flap of the carnival tent to see what was going on. She saw lights and a crowd of people and Amy gasped.
"What is it?" Eli asked, coming up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist.
Amy shook herself free. "We need to go and see what's happening. It's obviously something to do with Emma, it always is! We need to see what's going on."
Eli nodded and the two ran to the scene.

***

"Oh my God..." Amy muttered as her and Eli pushed their way through the crowd to the front.
Her eyes widened at the sight of Emma, dropping her gun to the ground, the killer on their knees and the police surrounding them, guns pointing at the killer.
"Put your hands on your head, now!" A policewoman ordered; Emma didn't need to be told twice. She took hold of Emma's hand and held them behind her back.
"Untape him." The sheriff ordered.
A police officer walked over to the masked person and held up his hand, which strangely had a knife taped to it. He forced the killer to straighten up as he took off his hoodie and ripping off the mask.

Emma gasped to see Kieran with tape over his mouth. "Oh my God, Kieran!" She cried.
Amy clasped her free hand over her mouth, since the other was entwined with Eli's.
The police lowered their guns as Emma continued to cry. Amy watched Sheriff Acosta look over to his son, before he yelled at everyone to leave.
"Let's go." Eli said, sternly. "I'll give you a ride home."

***

"What was the thing Kieran got so worked up about earlier?" Amy asked and Eli drove her home.
"He got into a fight with his stepdad one day when he was in a car with his parents. He took his eyes off the road and..." He sighed and Amy looked down at her thumbs.
"He killed them, it was his fault." Eli gulped. "He's probably talking to Emma about it right now. He's turning everyone against me, Amy."
Amy looked up when heard him sniffle. "You're the only one who trusts me."

Eli turned down her road and pulled up at the driveway. "Eli, look at me." Amy said.
He sighed and turned around to face Amy, her heart snapped at the sight of him with tears in his eyes. "You're misunderstood, I know. Kieran's saying crap about you and everyone else is stupid enough to believe it. But I'm not one of them and I never will be. Nothing that Kieran will ever say, will change that, and I'm gonna do my best to convince everyone else that you're a good guy."

Eli smiled softly and wiped a single tear away. "I love you."
"I love you too." Amy said, leaning in to peck his lips. "I'm gonna go inside now, but perhaps tomorrow, we can go 'Goldilocksing'." She cracked a grin.
Eli chuckled and nodded. "Okay, sure. Let's take our minds off all the BS and have some fun."
Amy smirked and nodded as she opened the car door. "See you tomorrow."

She shut the door and watched Eli give her a small wave before driving off.
