Y/n woke up in a good mood for the first time in a long time. Maddy on her mind, but no turmoil in her thoughts. Things were clear. She was finally in control.

Y/n filled Lexi in on what happened over text. The girl was happy for Y/n, though she advised her to be careful.

Y/n took her words to heart. She was already slightly weary of Maddy. Not of her intentions, but of her actions. Maddy was a reactive person and that was something Y/n had to look out for.

Lexi used Maddy as a segue to ask Y/n to come back to the Howard household tonight for Rue's intervention. Y/n didn't know Rue too well, but Lexi was asking because she needed support. Y/n agreed to go, not knowing the mess that would unfold at the intervention.

When Y/n arrived, Maddy and Kat were also there. As someone who had recovered from slight addiction Y/n didn't like the way this was set up. It felt like an ambush and she was sure Rue would think the same.

The group waited for Rue to come down the stairs. Y/n stood in the back with Lexi. There was the classic denial from Rue.

When Cassie spoke, Y/n wanted to roll her eyes. It was such a generic statement about one day at a time. It wasn't original everyone had heard it before.

Rue must've thought the same thing. Even in her clearly intoxicated state she set her eyes on Cassie. They narrowed in on the girl and in an innocent tone Rue spoke," Hey Cass?"

" Yeah?"

" I have a quick question for you," her tone was definitely a trigger in Y/n's head.

" What?"

The words slowly exit Rue's mouth," How long have you been fucking Nate Jacobs?"

The air feels like it has been sucked out of the room. Cassie's nervous laughter is the only thing filling the room.

" Wh-what, what, what are you talking about?"

Lexi's hand slaps over her mouth. Maddy looks back at Kat. In case no one heard her the first time Rue says it again.

" How long have you been fucking Nate?"

Everyone is quick to see through Cassie's crocodile tears.

" I'm not," she laughs again," What? I'm not."

Maddy's attitude did not surprise Y/n at all. The girl can sense the feeling of betrayal in the Latina's body language.

" What are you talking about?"

Rue takes the opportunity to deflect even more attention," Oh, I just-I, I saw her get his truck, and then, kiss him and drive off. That was, like, what, like, uh... like a month ago?"

Cassie tries to come up with a lie. It fails. Things start to make sense in Y/n's head. The way that Cassie was acting, yesterday. It was so obvious now that Rue said it outloud.

" Are you kidding me?" Maddy faces her best friend in disbelief.

" Cass that's like really bad."

Y/n keeps her eyes on Maddy, not knowing how the girl would react to this. For at least a month her best friend had been fucking her ex-boyfriend.

Maddy raises her voice," You're fucking Nate? Are you kidding me?"

Cassie finally tries to defend herself," No, I... I don't even know why she would say that."

It wasn't believable. The panic on her face and the tremble in her voice gave it all away. She was lying.

" You're lying!"
