You had been in Rue's life for a very long time. But then again, of course you'd be. You were her sister. Half sister Rue loved to remind you. But half or not you'd been with Rue for years watching her hit every milestone from afar and celebrating with Leslie and Gia. At the beginning of the summer, you thought the next one would be her first day of junior year, but no. It was her leaving rehab.
You, Leslie, and Gia stood outside the same somber building the three of you dropped Rue off earlier that summer. The same optimistic yet ultimately scared feeling filled all of you. A minute or so later, she came walking out with the same red sweater she went in with. A harsh reminder to all of you of the now missing piece in the family. But at least it brought her some comfort.
Gia waste no time when she saw her.
"Rue!" She yells, laughing as she runs and hugs Rue.
You and Leslie stay behind at the car. Offering her small smiles and waves instead. If that wasn't an accurate representation of Rue's relationship with the three of you, you weren't sure what was. The ride home was silent for the first few minutes. No music or conversation, staring, just quiet looks out the window.
"I'm very happy for you, Rue. You're about to start a brand-new chapter."
Your mother's words of encouragement should have been inspirational, but a heavy shadow of desperation hung over them. Rue gives her a quick smile, probably the best reaction in the moment. And just like that the silence returns and everyone was back to looking outside the window. Now staring at the biker not too far ahead of the car. Watching their mix of blonde and light pink hair flow in the wind with their plaid skirt.
It was the end of summer, the week before school started. I had no intention of staying clean, and Jules had just moved to town.
The rest of your eyes drifted back to the road when the car passed the girl. All except Rue, who turned to watch her.
...
A toxic cloud courtesy of Kat and BB's vape pens filled Maddy's small car. The lyrics of Cocky Af by Megan Thee Stallion boomed in the car. It was McKay's end of summer party and everyone was gonna be there. Even so-called recovering drug addicts who didn't tell you they were going and would rather walk than get a ride from you and your friends. Luckily, though, you'd shared her location to your phone. Was it an obvious invasion of her privacy ? Yes. Did you also do it with Leslie and Gia's phones? Yes. Did any of them know? Of course not. But in times like this, it was a good thing.
"Is that...?" Maddy spoke.
"Oh, shit, slow, down. Dude that's Rue. Oh, my god." Kat said skeptical.
"Wait. Didn't Rue, like, die?" Maddy says confused.
"Girl, I told y'all she came home." You say, confused by their reactions.
"Oh, my, god, I hate ghost." BB adds.
Kat rolls down the window and calls to your sister.
"Yo, Casper ! You want a ride ?"
The car comes to a full stop and Rue quickly approaches.
"Why, thank you." is all she says before getting in the car next to you.
And then, the night got weird.
You lost track of Rue as soon as you got to McKay's house. Then you lost track of Maddy then Kat, which left you with BB. And ultimately left you by yourself.
It was ironic because you knew this exact thing would happen. Maddy wasn't really one to ditch you at parties, especially when she knew you needed to have a good time. Because her logic was after a breakup that was exactly what you needed. And that was what she would have given you if only her and Nate didn't break up for probably the third time that summer. And when her and Nate broke up, she didn't need a good time, she needed a new guy.
Nate was fucking on one. And in turn, Maddy was fucking on one.
So she found one and was currently fucking him in McKay's pool in front of everyone.
"Come on Maddy." You sigh in disappointment and disgust, watching from inside the house.
Shrugging it off, you decided you could just have a good time by yourself. The kitchen was an absolute mess. Red solo cups, alcohol and half empty drinks everywhere. After scavenging for a clean cup, you rinsed it in the sink just in case before pouring yourself a shot. Lifting the cup and throwing your head back, you quickly swallowed before pouring another one and repeating the action. You shake off the burn and made yourself a more casual drink, mixing soda with the alcohol.
"You sure that's enough?" A familiar yet distant voice asked behind you.
You froze. You knew exactly who it was, there was no question about it.
"Uh-h." You stammer.
"Here."
He sets his drink down, steps closer behind you, and takes the large glass from you. "Have some more, it's a party, right."
You watch the clear liquid pour into your cup, unable to move.
"You like to drink a lot now, dont you." His tone is cold and condescending. "That and fuck other guys, right?"
He doesn't stop even when your cup is overflowed and spilling over onto the counter. Not wanting to get wet, you tried to step back, but he pushed his body against yours, forcing your hips against the counter. You had no time to react because before you realized it, he wasn't standing by you. Pushed aside by an angry Nate, who takes the bottle from him and carelessly pours himself a shot before drinking it. Nate must have seen Maddy in the pool and was pissed, he started pushing things off the counter and yelling at everyone in the kitchen.
"Get the fuck out of here!" He yelled, killing the mood instantly.
With everyone distracted, you took the opportunity to slip away from the now forming crowd. You found a bathroom and quickly tried to clean yourself. Grabbing one of the hand towels, you wet it before rubbing the fabric of your skirt. Semi panicking at how strong the smell was on you, you threw the towel aside and decided you were ready to go. Now you just had to find Rue. It was normally easier said than done, but to your surprise, Rue was outside. Riding on the back of some random girl's bike.
"That's fucked up." Fezco comments, and you jump, startled by his presence, but quickly calm down once you see it's him. "How you gettin' home?"
There's a hint of concern in his words, but you ignore it.
"I don't know Maddy's my ride, but she's a little occupied. So imma just wait for her, I guess."
He nods slowly.
"Yea, I seen her in the pool."
There's a beat of silence, but Fezco fills it before it gets awkward.
"Want me to-" He pauses, unsure of himself. "Wait with you." He says with a shrug, pretending to be casual.
You opened your mouth but had nothing to say. You knew you could just say no and Fezco would leave, but you weren't fully sure if you wanted to be alone right now. What if your ex came back and saw you waiting for Maddy. A cold shiver ran down your spine just thinking about it. But on the other hand, what if he saw you with Fezco. Would we leave you alone or would he cause a scene? What would a scene between the two of them even look like and how would it end. You knew Fezco and you knew he wasn't an angry person at heart, but you knew more than anything he'd protect anyway he needed to.
"Yea, we can just wait in your car."
As always, you choose Fezco.
