Fez knew.

He knows everything that goes on with Jade.

"Where'd you even buy these?" Jade was looking over the cameras he'd brought over, Fez shrugging.

"Internet."

"What if someone else is watching? You can't trust cameras." She was inspecting them, turning them over and even opening some of them up. "We don't even need cameras."

"Yeah, and your mom said you guys need proof of Jason them coming over here and harassing you." That wasn't the reason. "Here you go."

"But why so many? You're not putting one in my bathroom or anything, right?"

"....why the fuck would I want to put a camera in your- shut the fuck up."

"Bitch I'll kick that ladder from under you."

Fez was downright insane when it came to Jade.

"I'm not getting in the car with you." Jade was speaking to someone from her window when Fez pulled in, the two of them not noticing him. "You think I'm stupid? You never ride alone, Ryland. How many negros you got in there?"

"It's just me. I just wanna go for a joyride." He was lying, Fez spotted the other guys on his way up the driveway. "You don't wanna ride with me no more?"

"You and who else? Dumb is not my name, stop playing with me."

"J." Fez spooked Ryland when he spoke up, Jade looking at him and rolling her eyes.

"You ridin with O'Neil now? Since when?"

"Never. Don't be stupid." Fez's face scrunched. "Open the door for me."

"What happened to your key?" He had it.

"Can't find it. Open the door, J." Jade disappeared from her window, the locks clicking moments later before the door swung open.

It took Ryland ten minutes to even get her to answer him. Another five to get her to the window. And they'd been going back and forth for nearly twenty minutes after that.

Fez got her to open the door in two.

"You hungry?" Fez was able to brush her hair back without Jade immediately snapping at him.

"You came over here to cook? Who am I? Your owner?" Jade moved back so he could walk through, Fez blankly looking over his shoulder before the door closed behind him.

"Shut the fuck up."

"I want dumplings, slave."

It was little things. Showing up when someone was bothering her, "coincidentally" coming over when she was making plans with someone.

It happened randomly. She was sitting down, watching TV as usual while doing schoolwork.

Then, Jade was having trouble breathing. She was shaking, crying, and spiraling.

The house was empty, which wasn't usual.

She had more time to think, also not usual.

"-ade. Jade. Jade."

Then he was there every time she randomly had an anxiety attack.

"Why are you here?" Jade wasn't feeling well. Tiarra had left for work. It was only supposed to be her in the house. "How are you here?"

"Came over to bother you." It was a lie, one she wouldn't register as she tried calming down more. "What happened?"

"....I don't know."
