bound ~ ashtray

chapter 1

robyn atkinson was never a big fan of love. the reason was because she was never really loved by anyone except her brother, their parents were both alcoholics and they had learnt to fend for themselves.

with robyn's brother, august, 7 years older than her, he would always have to look out and take care of her, when robyn was 8 and august was 15, he started selling drugs, it wasn't easy providing for himself and a child, so this was best for both of their lives.

after a few years of selling, august got into some trouble. they couldn't stay in colorado so they decided to move to california because august made a deal with another drug dealer there to be partners.

that takes us to the present, where august and robyn just arrived in california.

"well that was a pleasant drive" i say while stumbling out of the car, stretching my arms above my head.

"c'mon, help me with the boxes will you, i can't do all the heavy lifting princess" august compains.

i grab some boxes and follow august up the stairs, he rings the bell and a man with ginger hair and a beard, around my brothers age answers the door.

his face lights up when he sees august "yo! what up man?" the man says while dabbing august up.

"fez! my bro how you doing?" august said with a smile on his face.

"oh you must be robyn," fez said noticing me, "i'm fezco, but you can just call me fez, that's my brother ash," he said pointing to a boy sitting on the couch, he was facing away from me though so i couldn't see his face "he's around your age so hopefully y'all can be friends, your room is at the end of the hall so make yourself at home" fez says with a smile, he seems sweet. i smile back at him and start taking my boxes to my room.

when i placed all of my belongings into my new room i take a look around, there was a double bed in the corner of the room with plain white sheets, a wardrobe and dresser and a desk with a white swivel chair under it.

"i can work with this." i thought and started unpacking and decorating.

when i finished i took a look around my room once again and smiled to myself, much better. as if on cue i heard fez shout my name so i made my way to the living room.

i walked in to see my brother, fez and the boy from earlier gathered on the couches, when i sat down i took a good look at the boy and realised he was pretty attractive, i studied his features for a few seconds before he looked at me and rolled his eyes what a bitch.

"okay robyn, because me and august are now partners, thing are going to be a little different, we have a shop and you're going to be working there a couple nights a week with one of us, we also have buyers there so there'll always be one person at the cash register and one selling, sound good to you?" i nodded with a smile.

"we also go to alot of parties so if your selling that night please don't drink, we'll need you sober in case something happens. also we have some rules, you can go out but please make sure you tell us where you are, you can drink and do drugs, just know your limits."

"oh and no boys" august added.

"so i can do drugs but i can't have a boyfriend?" i ask.

"yep" august replied with a smirk.

"what am i doing about school?" i say.

"i mean it's up to you i guess" august says.

"maybe i can do online school so i'll have more time for selling and working?" i ask

"good idea rob" august says while ruffling my hair.

maybe this won't be so bad after all.
