SONG: HOMETOWN GLORY- ADELE

The rain hit lightly on the window, filling the silence, a golden leaf falling upon the glass every while. Autumn has come quicker than Felicity had realised. All these weeks she spent cooped up in her room, dwelling in her own sadness, sympothising for herself, each day had been rapidly changing. The leaves darkening, air colder and mornings darker. Autumn was her favourite time of the year, and she hadn't even realised it was happening.

"Where the fuck did you get these from Felicity?" Ash muttered, shaking his head, inspecting the empty pill packs.

"I told you, I don't know." She sighed, flicking through her phone.

"Don't fucking lie to me Felicity, where did you get these from?" Ashtrays tone got harsher, his voice getting louder.

"I told you, I don't know!" Felicity also shouted back, still not looking away from her phone.

"Was it Rue, Maddy? Nate?" Ash rambled, snatching her phone out her hands, causing him to get Fee's attention.

"NATE? Why the fuck would I be asking Nate Jacobs to buy me drugs?" She argued, defending herself.

"Then who the fuck was it, because I don't recall giving you this shit?" Ashtray grew less patient with her, standing up of the bed.

"Funny, because I don't recall saying you did. Also would you give me a fucking break, my sister was just killed and your asking me irrelevant questions." Fee followed him, attempting to take her phone out of his hands.

"I care about you Felicity, I want to know where you got all this from because I love you, and I don't ever want anything bad to happen to you." Ash exhaled, his eyes softening into hers.

Felicity's demeanor softened, her puffy red eyes widening from his words. Her breath hitched. "I love you too, but it doesn't matter." The girls voice was completely at ease, her genuine feelings on show.

"It does matter, it matters so much, do you know anyone else who sells this shit round here? No you don't. Just me and Fez, so just tell me Felicity. How the fuck did you get this?"

"Just through people, I don't know." Felicity shrugged in shame, her eyes watering.

"What people Fee? People isn't enough."

"It doesn't matter, I am okay, you are okay, and that's all that matters." Felicity slid in between him, cupping his face in a mature manner. "It was rough for me Ashtray, I didn't do it because I wanted to, or was bored. I needed help, I wanted to prove to myself I didn't need anybody, but clearly I do." Her eyes melted onto his, each word with ease.

Ashtray glanced at the ground, biting his cheek. "I just want you to be okay, I hate to see you like this." He exhaled, allowing her to lay in the crook of his neck. "Don't do it again, no matter the term we are on. I will always care for you, no matter the circumstance."

"I know Ash, I know." She muttered, her voice spilling with regret.

Before she had time to speak anymore, Ash's lips crashed onto hers. Felicity let out a nervous chuckle returning the kiss, his hands tangling in her hair. The space between them filled, it was passionate, not angry, not out of spite, but full of love and lust.

"You make me nervous, I fear." Felicity breathed between kisses.

"You can't be serious Felicity." Maddy laughed between words, whilst applying bottom mascara.

"I'm being serious, how did you not know that."  Fee giggled, sorting the hem of a skirt.
