When I woke up the next morning, Ruby was gone. That kind of hurt that he was gone, but it's fine.

I sat up rubbing my eyes, I reached for my phone to check what time it was.

It was almost 12:30, I sighed there was text from Ruby

Ruby🍒'Hey me and Scrim headed out, text me If you need sum ma'

I sighed, getting out of bed and walking to my bathroom. I turned on the shower and got in the shower, it felt amazing.

I stayed there for about 30 minutes, before turning the shower off and grabbing my towel and wrapping It around my body.

I stepped out the bathroom, "Damn shorty" I heard and I turnt my head.

"The fuck are you doing in New Orleans?" I said, "I came to see the boys, but decided to stop by here.." Pouya said.

"We saw you like.. not even 48 hours ago" i said, "Yeah i know, go get dressed i got you a gift" He said and I walked to my bedroom, getting dressed.

I put on the essentials first, and a black graphic tee with grey ripped shorts and grey dunks. Nikes, if you don't know..

I let my hair down, I sighed walked out my bedroom. My eyes were met with someone who looked younger then Pouya, he had split died hair.

"uh, Angel this is Gus, Gus this is Angel.. or well Redrum this is Lil peep.." Pouya said.

Gus' face lit up with a smile, and so did mine.

I shook his hand, "Nice to meet you" he said, "Same as you" I said, he nodded. "So, I'll let you guys talk and work on sum, imma go catch up with the boys" Pouya said, "Alright.. Peace Kev" Gus said.

"So, you wanna work on some music orr? I mean we can just hang" I said, "I mean it's up to you" Gus said slightly shyly, "No need to be shy around me, I know it's prob awkward to meet new people but I promise ion bite" I said making me and Gus chuckle.

"lowkey, you wanna go grab some food?" I asked Gus, "Hell yeah, I'm hungry not gonna lie..." Gus said, I nodded grabbing my keys.

Soon, we walked out to my car getting in. "how old are you?" He asked me, "I'm 25 kid" I said, "No way, you don't look old..er" Gus said, "Yeah I get that alot, how old are you?" I asked

"20" he told me, "Damn, now it feels like I just took somebody kid.." I said and he chuckled,

We talked for awhile, until we stopped and got some food.

I handed him his food, "Can we go see the lake?" He asked, I nodded. "Yeah of course" I said and he smiled.

We drove to the lake while we ate our food, Soon we pulled up to the lake. Surprisingly The boys and Pouya were there with someone else..

"go head kid" I told Gus when we got there, "You coming?" He asked and I nodded. Gus got out the car and I reached in my glove compartment, grabbing the nine tucking it in the back of my pants.

I got out the car,locking the doors behind me. I walked beside Gus, "Hey Angel" Scrim said, "Hey Scotty" I said, "Who's this?" I added, "This is Eric, or Ghoste" Pouya said, I nodded.

"you always carry that?" Eric asked, "How you know?" I asked, "Watched you tuck in your pants" Eric told me, I nodded "Yeah, it'd new Orleans baby.. you not carrying you crying." I told him.

"So that means y'all strapped?" Pouya asked Ruby and Scrim, They looked at eachother.

"Naw, she's just paranoid" Scrim said, "Oh okay let's go look thru your car" I said and he got quiet, "So we all just gonna stand here and touch tips or.." I asked.

"Naw, they got music videos to shoot.." Ghoste said, "For south side?" I asked and they nodded, "So why ain't Slim here?" I asked.

"School" Scrim said, everyone looked at him..

"Nigga it's fucking summer.." I said and he made a O face.

"Then drugs fucking up more then ur frontal lobe.." I said, "How long y'all in town for?" I asked, "She don't know?" Pouya asked. "Nah, we going back w Kev for tour, And if you and Gus are gonna work on music.. yk?" Ruby said and I nodded.

"Unless you wanna rock with us kid?" Ruby said, and I looked at Gus. "I mean yeah, I like too travel but I gotta get home to my ma" he said, "That's cute" I said almost teasingly.

We all chuckled, "Well we can get started on some stuff today? And finish by the time these numbnuts get back" I said Gus smiled.

"I'll take that as a yes.." I said, "How old are you?" I asked Eric "Were the same age.." he told me,

I nodded, we hung out at the lake with everyone for awhile. I sat on the barrier with Peep,

Click

I turned and looked, Pouya had took a picture of me and Peep together.. "I'm gonna throw you in" I told Pouya, "Wouldn't I die?" He asked, "Nah the water pretty calm, let's test it" I said, mugging him

"Don't listen to her, you Gon die if you fall in there" Ruby said sitting down next to me, I looked at Ruby, and he was looking at me.

I looked away, laying my head on him.

"They'd be such a cute couple" Pouya said and Peep nodded, I took my head off of Ruby and took the gun out my pocket handing it to Ruby.

"She gone get you" Scrim said, I pulled myself up off the barrier. Pouya took off, I chuckled chasing him.

"Maybe you should've told him about track.." Ruby said, "She did track?" Eric asked. "Yeah.. all of middle and highschool" Scrim said chuckling watching me chase Pouya.

I grabbed him by the hem of his shirts pushing him back towards everyone.

"I'm sorryyyy" Pouya shouted, "Too bad"I said letting go, everybody was chuckling.

"I hate you all" Pouya said.
