Sofia's POV

We rode our bikes to where Fez apparently lives, and just our luck, it started pouring down rain. "Thats fuckin great" Rue says to me, pedaling faster. I did the same thing and we were outside his house in less than 5 minutes.

Rue stuck her middle finger at the camera, which I'm assuming Fez could see, and I heard something click before the door opened for us to come inside.

"Who is it mane?" I heard Fez's voice. "Rue and her friend" a kid responded. "Nah bro, tell em come back later or something" Fez responded as Rue paraded through his main door, followed by me behind her.

"Too late bitch" she said sarcastically. I know why she wanted to make a run to stop here by the way she's acting, and if we're being honest, I wanted to try out one of those mixed drinks Fez was telling me about through text too.

"Hold on, hold on you guys cant be in here right now." he said, a serious tone to his voice. Rue ignored him, walking over to the other room and I followed her, assuming its not that serious "I just need some ozzies and some socks" she told him, expecting him to hand her the drug immediately. "And what about those drinks?" I say with a smile, turning to him and then turning back to follow Rue.

"I can't help you right now, you gotta go." Fez tried to tell her, and I slowly stopped in my tracks realizing that he was serious and Rue plopped down on his couch like she owned the place. She ignored him, searching around. "Yo Rue I ain't fuckin playin with you, come on. Get yourself together and get her the hell out of here. I'm being dead serious you two gotta go." he said, looking over at me with a concerned look on his face.

"You cant be in here" he continues, looking back over to Rue. "Look- Fez. I'm fucking drenched. Okay? and uh, I'm out of drugs. so.... don't be a dick." she says honestly.

"Thats not my fuckin problem" he snapped at her, "you gotta get up out my house right now before these mufuckas come through. For real." he finished. "Rue, maybe we should just go" I try to convince her.

"All I need is a couple of Cs and some xannies thats all I need and I'll be gone." she says, changing into a pair of his clean socks. "Yo I'm tryna tell you I don't got shit right now" he tells her sternly, but she wont listen. I stand close to him, looking at Rue and hoping that she gets the message. We need to leave.

"Like, come back in a few hours I got you whatever you need but right now, you gotta get the fuck up out my house." he warns her. "I know you have something Fez" she says to him. "I just told you I don't got shit for you bruh come on. I need you out the house right now, my guys about to come through and I dont want you here when he gets here, you understand? Especially not her, Rue. This shit is serious." he says and I feel the hair on my arms stand up.

She sighs and lays down on his couch "Give me drugs" she says without a care in the world. "Rue" I start, but Fez cuts me off. "Yo Rue-" then he was cut off by the sound of his phone buzzing. The room falls silent and he gives her a deadly look. He looks at me and then back at Rue, letting the phone ring.

"I could fuckin kill you right now" he says to her, not breaking eye contact. Uh oh.

He puts out his black & mild, grabs a stack of cash off the table with 1 hand and uses the other to grab a walky talky. "Yo Ash, they here" he says. Ash must be the kid he was talking to when he let us in. Maybe Ash let us in to begin with... we really shouldn't be here.

He walks over to the couch where Rue lays, grabs his gun from between the cushion, loads it, and puts it back. "Look I'm serious Rue, just stay right there. Keep your mouth shut and be cool. These dudes ain't fuckin around" he says, looking over at me. Now I'm a little worried.

"Sofia... Do not say a word. I'm serious. Please." he tells me. I swallow a lump in my throat.

"So this ya little bitch?" the man asks, looking down at Rue and checking her out. "Nah... thats like my little sister." he says honestly, the man walking to the other side of the couch where I was sitting. "And her?" he motions toward me, making me upset. I keep my mouth shut like he told me to. "Nah...." he says, ending the sentence there and looking at me for a while.

"Well hello there lil sis" he says, kneeling down to kiss Rue's hand, making me shiver. Gross. He looks horrific. I can tell that Rue was not enjoying it at all. "My name is Mouse. It's a pleasure to meet you." he says. Yuck. He looks like a mouse.

"And, you? Whats your name, sweetheart?" he asks me. "Carmella" I lie. I didn't trust this guy at all. "Carmellaaa" he repeats, making me realize what a mistake I've made. Really? Carmella? I could have picked any other name in the world but the first thing that comes to mind is a stripper name. "Thats a beautiful name" he says, kissing my hand as well.

Fezco's eyes burned into the back of his skull and he looked down when he realized I was looking at him. I pull my arm back a little, making Mouse give an upset face for a moment before he pulls away and gets up, facing another guy who came. "Yo Custer, toss me that bag" he said.

"Alright check it. I got 100 OP-OC 80s, 500 xanny bars, 50 20s of addy, I'm low on vikes, so if you wanna cop some vikes you better cop em today cause I got like 50 left. I got a guap of that Cali medicinal, and an ounce of molly." he said like it was nothing. "Custer what's the math on that?"

"Uh, 25, 50 and 1,100, 35, 77 and 25... 7,750." Custer responded. I saw Ash standing in the doorway. The kid had a tattoo on his face and dressed much older than most kids his age.

"Here" Fez tossed him the stacks of cash wrapped in a plastic bag, Mouse caught it with ease. "You sure you don't want no fentanyl?"

"Nah man, I'm cool off that shit. Too many ODs, and I don't want the heat." Fez says. "How about you little sis? You ever try fentanyl?" he asks Rue. "No" she responds. "She's good bruh" Fez adds.

"Gonna let big brother talk for you?" Mouse asks, sitting close next to Rue and pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "I don't know" she says, not wanting him to speak to her. He turns to me next. "You ever try fentanyl, baby?" he asks, making me wanna throw up. I can visibly see Fez's jaw clenching at this point and he was slowly reaching for his gun. "Don't look at him, look at me" he tells me. I wanna punch him in the face.

"You ever try it?" he asks me again, making Fez speak up once more. "Yo for real bruh, I don't want her fucking with that shit" but Mouse continues talking, turning back over to Rue. "You know that feeling when you cum so hard you cant feel or hear shit? You like that feeling?" he asks her. "Yea" she mumbles. "Well, you're gonna love this shit." he says, taking something from his bag and putting it at the tip of his knife. He slowly raised the knife to Rue's face, expecting her to put it in her mouth.

"I'm good actually" she mumbles. "What you dont trust me?" Mouse asks, his mood changing suddenly. "Yo, for real man she's good." Fez says once more but is met with a threatening response. "Shut the fuck up bitch, ain't nobody talkin to you." Mouse says rudely, making me want to smack the tattoos off his face.

"Tell your big brother I'm not talkin to him right now. Tell him shut the fuck up" he says to Rue. There is something mentally wrong with this guy. "Come on don't be scared, it's not gonna bite you. Come on, try it." he says.

And she does.
