She was already in another relationship when they met. But once they crossed paths, she found herself unable to leave Fez alone. He became a safe space for her in the midst of her chaotic life. The missing piece to her puzzle. She had been trapped w...
"The whole world's gonna be talkin about how McKay threw the grimiest fuckin banger of the summer" Nate said from the driver's seat, pulling out of the corner store driveway where Rue had been standing talking to some guy before she took off on her bike. I thought she was in rehab.
I rolled my eyes in the backseat, directing my attention back to my phone as they began driving toward the liquor store.
Rue (2 new messages, 3m ago)
Rue: hey I just came home from rehab
Rue: wanted to talk to you but I saw you with Nate and nobody wants to talk to him! lol some things never change. see you at the party
CASHAPP - Devin sent $200 note: for nails & alc <3
I quickly turned on my recording app in my phone before turning the screen back off. This gives Maddy a chance to tune in on what her shitty ex boyfriend talks about when she's not around.
"I don't know bro, you know my mom is real OCD. She notices the smallest shit, a little scratch on the wall, dishes out of order" McKay responded to Nate.
"Ok fine, we take a picture of everything and then put it back the way we found it" I looked up at Nate, wondering if he knew how stupid he sounded every time he spoke words.
"Fuck is this, mission impossible?" McKay asked him, confirming my thoughts about Nate being stupid. At least I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Nate chuckled. "You need to stop worrying about your mom and start worryin about all the fuckin pussy we're gonna smash tonight bro."
I scoffed and shook my head, looking up at the asshole himself. "Excuse me, I am LITERALLY right here. Do not be disrespecting my sister like that!" I snapped at him. Someone needs to keep him in check.
"No, no, no, no. Isn't Maddy coming tonight?" McKay cut off Nate before he got the chance to respond to what I said.
Nate was quiet for a moment. "I don't know, I don't give a fuck. She broke up with me, fuck her."
"Naw, fuck YOU. She wouldn't break up with your ass every 5 seconds if it wasn't for the way you treat her." I stuck up for Maddy. Seriously, who does he think he is after all this time?
"First of all Sofi, I treated your sister like fucking gold and you of all people should know that. You better shut your mouth back there, the only reason I'm still giving you rides is because Devin is busy right now otherwise he'd be listening to your little whiny ass instead."
Busy, I thought. Busy doing what? He told me that he was watching a movie. I pushed my thoughts aside and continue arguing with Nate.
"Actually, the real reason you give me rides is because your obsessed with my sister and will use any excuse in the book to keep tabs on her! You think I didn't see you peeping through her window while she was getting changed? Yeah, suck on THAT bitch."
"I suggest you pipe down before I take my ID and shove it so far up your ass that you'll have a way of getting your little drinky drink ever again until your old enough to take your ass down to the liquor store and make a purchase yourself." he mocked me from the front seat.
"Ya'll can save this shit for later, focus back to what I'm saying. Maddy is CRAZY. I don't want her to come and try to burn my house down." McKay intervened.
"As she should" I mumbled. I caught Nate rolling his eyes at my comment, then he shook his head and looked back at McKay. "You two just need to shut the fuck up" Nate mumbled then there was a short silence.
"Yo this is exactly what I'm talking about" Nate continued, driving closer to a blonde girl riding her bike on the side of the road. I caught a glimpse of her bleach blonde hair, cascading over her shoulders and childish backpack she wore on her back. Her hair blew threw the wind, making it hard for me to see her face at first.
Nate caught up to her finally, McKay mumbling stuff like "Nah man, don't do this today" or "Cmon, pull off before you say some dumb shit"
"Ayo, what up B" he shouted from the window, performing the most embarrassing cat call I've ever seen in my life. Wait till Maddy hears about this bullshit. "Yo how about you come ride on this dick" he shouted at the girl once again, clearly joking at this point with a goofy grin spread across his face. This is what boys do for fun?
"Ah, come on man" McKay said, a look of disappointment on his face as he sped past the girl who was now stumbling off the bike and falling into the grass.
"What?" Nate asked. McKay just looked back at me, both of us shaking our heads at his idiocy.

"All the fuckin pussy we're gonna smash tonight? Are you fucking kidding me" Maddy mocks him in disgust with her arms crossed as she listened to the recording of me in Nate's truck. "I think you should dump his ass" I said, taking another swig of my E&J bottle. Thank god Nate took me to the nail salon today, I really needed it. Toes and everything.
"Already did that." Maddy reminded me, applying her sparkly eyeliner in her vanity mirror. I got out of her bed, walking toward her closet so I could find something nice to wear.
"I forgot. You guys break up so much at this point. The on & off thing doesn't look good on you Mads, you deserve a stable relationship." I tell her, looking through her clothes.
"I know what I deserve. But what I want and what I deserve are 2 different things." she says mindlessly, applying her mascara. "So you want a guy who mentally fucks with you and treats you like shit? Good taste in men you got there." I half joke with her. Apart of me is really telling the truth and speaking some sense into her.
"I want a Chanel bag. And you know who's gonna give me one when he realizes he fucked up?" Maddy said confidently. She wasn't lying. "Material things can't replace the therapy your gonna need when everything is finally over with between you guys." I said to my sister. "Pfft. Yeah Sofi, you're one to talk." she rolled her eyes as she walked into the bathroom to grab the rest of her stuff for the party.
I didn't respond because she was right. I am one to talk. But the difference between my relationship and hers is that she actually has a choice.
Devin and Nate are best friends. It makes sense though. Not only did Devin and Nate grow up together, but they acted the same. Both of them are abusive asshole pricks. So why do I date him? I have my reasons. The same way Maddy is stuck with Nate, I'm stuck with Devin.
But I'm not stuck emotionally, no. I am STUCK in my relationship. Literally.
My parents love Devin, and they would rather see me drown in cement before they'd ever let me end things with Devin. That's a story for another time.
"Ow!" I yell, Maddy looking back at me. "Oh no, get down! Shoo!" she says, motioning for Vallie to go away. 2 things this dog cannot resist: biting my ankles, and Maddy's bed. the one place where she wasn't allowed in this house.
We finish getting ready for the party, and by the time we're headed out the door, this is how I ended up looking after raiding my sister's closet:

Maddy had a lot of good quality jeans but she rarely wore them. She was a fur and leather type of girl. I shot Rue a text that we were on our way to McKay's party. And so we were.
