hasta la muerte..

part 3

it was Monday morning at school and i was in gym. i noticed that Rue started being friends with a girl who was knew to town. i noticed Rue leaving the party with her and them this morning; maybe she did drugs too? i mean that's probably why me and Rue weren't very close anymore cause i don't do drugs, but she did just get outta rehab so i don't know. she's definitely not clean though.

i remember getting a call from Gia, Rues little sister and she sounded so scared. she sounded like it was the end of the world.

*2 months ago*

(bold is Yasmeen)

hey Gia what's up?

*Gia sobbing*

Gia? is everything okay?

it's Rue, she overdosed and the
ambulance came and took her and i couldn't go

oh my god Gia im on my way okay? everything's okay she's gonna be fine i promise.

now i didn't know if that was completely true. i didn't know if everything was gonna be okay but i also didn't know what else to say. i couldn't imagine walking in on your older sister overdosed. for Gia to be the one who found her made everything worse.

on the way to Rues house i called Leslie to make sure she knew and to tell her i was taking Gia to the hospital, because i know all she wanted was to be with rue.

hey ms. Bennet did Gia call you?

hey sweetie yeah she called me, did she call you?

yeah she sounded really scared so i'm on my way over there. is it okay if i take her to the hospital?

yeah sweetie thank you so much i'll meet you guys there

it's no problem see you there.

Leslie sounded stressed and like she had been crying. when i had got to their house and walked inside Gia hugged me so tightly. i look at the paramedics while hugging her back "is it alright if i take her to the hospital? her moms gonna meet us there" i ask the paramedics. "yes that's fine go ahead" she replies.

as soon as we had gotten to the hospital we went running to find Leslie, "how is she" Gia asks her. "she still hasn't woken up, Yasmeen you might wanna go home it could be awhile" Leslie says than looks at me. "no i'm not going anywhere i wanna be here for Rue if that's okay" i reply trying to not sound disrespectful even though it was. "okay honey that's fine" Leslie replies and i give her a smile.

looking at Rue like that broke my heart. i knew i should've done something about it and told someone. i feel horrible having to act like i didn't know she was doing drugs around Leslie and Gia. i should've told them but i was afraid of losing Rue and she's my best friend.

*now*

i was walking with BB, Maddy and Cassie. we had passed Rue and that new girl. "oh shit thats the girl who tried to commit suicide at McKays" BB said and we all look at her "wait what" we all three said. "oh yeah i forgot. you two were fuckin' and you were screamin at Nate." BB says to us as we give her a shocked look.

"ugh why does everybody think we fucked" Maddy says as she stops walking. we all stopped walking to wait for her. now see Maddy had told me that she lied to Nate that she blacked out and that that's what she was gonna be telling everyone else and i couldn't tell anyone.

"alcohol is not good for me" Maddy says then BB speaks up after her "so you did fuck him" i looked at Maddy and she looks back at the girls "honestly i think i blacked out" she says. i had to act like i didn't know so i looked at her as well as BB and Cassie and we all three say "for real?" at the same time. "Maddy" Cassie says before Kat joins us.
