A/N : Takes vaguely post 2x05 but pre 2x07

Jules wasn't sure what to do with herself after Rue had broken up with her.

She couldn't go to Elliot, because he had lied to her and just... She didn't want to talk to him. She wanted to go to her dad about it, but she didn't want him to worry. Lord knows how stressed he'd been since she ran away. She couldn't add to that. She also couldn't go to Rue for obvious reasons, Kat had been ignoring her calls, Cassie was too much of a wreck to hold a conversation with, Lexi was busy with her upcoming play, she didn't know Ethan that well, and it would be a cold day in Hell before she called Nate to vent.

That left her with only one person in town she could really go to... Madeleine Perez.

She arrived at a very upper class home- The place Maddy was staying while she babysat Theo. She almost felt like an intruder as she entered the place, but Maddy had given her the go-ahead, so she wasn't actually doing anything wrong. "Maddy?" she called out as she walked inside, looking around at all the furniture that probably cost more than her entire house.

"Hey" Maddy replied with a friendly smile, sitting on the couch in the living room. It was dark outside, and Theo was nowhere to be seen. "I already sent the kid to bed" the cheerleader explained upon seeing Jules' confused expression. "Now, come here" she instructed, patting the spot on the couch next to her. "I feel like we haven't gotten to really talk since Kat took us bowling"

"Sorry about that" Jules said guiltily as she sat next to the other girl. "It's all good" Maddy replied with a kind smile. A part of her would probably never see the blonde the same as before she saw the sex tape that Cal had secretly recorded, but this was still her friend. Maybe they weren't as close as they could be, but they still cared about each other. "So..." the Latina continued. "Are you and Rue still a thing?"

"No" Jules responded with a sad smile. Maddy nodded. "That doesn't surprise me, honestly" she said with a sigh. "That bitch is a wreck. I mean, I'm glad that she said something about Cassie and Nate, but she was still a fucking mess during that whole intervention or whatever the fuck"

"She was really mad at me" Jules replied. Maddy looked at her inquisitively. "I was the one who told Leslie about her relapse" she explained. "I honestly didn't know what else to do. I was just so freaked out. She was really mad at me for that... Said a bunch of shit- I mean, I know she probably didn't actually mean most of it, but it still kinda hurt"

"What did she say?" Maddy asked. Jules shook her head. "It doesn't matter" she replied. "She's an addict, and addicts say shit they don't mean all the time. I don't want to like... Make her seem like a shitty person because of some hurtful shit she said while she was panicked about a bunch of other shit"

"If her high ass said shit that hurt your feelings, that's still on her" Maddy replied bluntly. "And no one could blame you for being upset"

"She just..." Jules took a deep breath and Maddy reached over to hold her hand in reassurance. The blonde was a little caught off guard by the gesture- Maddy was so bitchy most of the time that one could be forgiven for forgetting that was actually a decent person. "She told me I'm dead to her, and that we're done- Like as a couple" she continued. "Said that I never loved her and that I only love feeling loved. That I'm selfish and that I'm uh... A greedy whore. Just, a bunch of shit... She also said that looking at me made her physically ill. That one hurt"

"Wow" Maddy said, a bit stunned. "What?" Jules asked, almost a bit embarrassed at how confused she was. She felt confused a lot, and had a hard time understanding people's reactions most of the time. Thankfully though, Maddy was always surprisingly patient with her. "I just never realized she was capable of being such a fucking cunt"

"She's not-"

"No, I don't care if she's an addict" Maddy cut her off. "It's a cunty thing to say, especially when you clearly love her so much to the point where it's fucking gross to witness"

"Yeah..." Jules replied with a small, distant smile. "I do love her... And what she said really did hurt"

"For whatever it's worth, you're not a whore" Maddy told her with a smile of her own. "Maybe a bit of a slut, but not a whore. And looking at you doesn't make me sick. You're actually really fucking pretty"

"...Thanks, Maddy"
