overtime- ashtray

46

"Ashhhhh, don't be boring." Felicity whined, waving her hands in air.

"Ima be borin'" The boy huffed, guiding her towards the front door. 

The party was going well for both Felicity and Ashtray, she was having a good time with her friends and Ashtray was making money. Until Felicity decided she was going to drink like there was no tomorrow. 

The music was too loud, lights too bright and rooms too crowded. Every stumble Felicity took caused her skirt to rise, Ashtray was quick to use himself as her cover.

"Yo Ash, you got sum stuff on you?" Troy shouted over heads.

"Nah man, I'm going." Ash responded shaking his head. "Come on Fee man." He ushered, trying to get her out the door,

"Man? I am not a man." She warbled, letting her body control go.

"Sorry ma." He sighed, allowing her weight to fall against him. "C'mere." Ashtray picked up her nearly unconscious body, throwing her over his shoulder. 

Felicity always seemed to exit a party by being carried out, it was anything people would second thought now. To be fair, it didn't take her a lot to be unable to walk in a straight line, but she most certainly does not need how much she drinks. 

Ashtray has managed to snake his way around the others with the weight of Felicity on him. "That hurtss." Fee groaned, pushing on his chest.

"What hurts?" Ashtray questioned her, looking around confused. 

"That." She said, pushing on his thigh . 

Ashtray released one hand of Felicity, patting around his upper thigh to see what was causing her so much bother. It was his gun. He never attended a party without protection, anybody could be there at any time. "Were at the car now anyway." He spoke, disregarding her. 

--

Her back laid gently across the seats, her hair effortlessly looking perfect. "Oh Ash, where are you taking mee." She giggled, swaying her head from left to right.

"Where do you want me to take you?" He looked at her through the rearview mirror.

"Your house, I want to go to your house." She hummed, swaying from side to side. 

----

Yet again, Felicity, found herself a mess in Ashtrays bed. Every single time she drank too much to the point she has no recollection of the previous night, she wakes up there. Adjusting to the light, she rubbed her eyes, propping herself up against his headboard. Next to her on his nightstand, her phone sat on charge, 100 percent, he must of put it on charge the night before she thought. Ashtray's room always had the familiar mess, clothes not put away but scattered around, undusted surfaces and the stench of weed. 

"Ashtrayyy." She called, receiving nothing back but the own echo of her voice. "Ashtrayy." She called again, silence.

With a sigh, she brought herself out of bed catching a glimspe of her reflection in the mirror, a note stuck to it. It was a creased rolling paper that wrote, 

Fee,

Ima be home at around 4:30,  sorry I weren't with you this morning ma. If your feeling well enough I wanna take you to dinner at 7. Help yourself to anything at the store, we ain't got much in. Key is in my draw, I don't have my phone on me so I won't pick up. Don't go anywhere please, stay here or at the store, if anything happens call mackay or maddy or something. I want to take you for food at 8, or we can just order food to yours? Make your mind up for when I get back. 

Ashtray. 

Fee shook her head, placing the note on the dresser. With that, she began to get ready to sit and do nothing. 

RUES POV

"Fuck, just listen." Rue raced, pacing back and forth around the small room. 

"Were listening Rue, it's just a stupid fucking idea. The type of people Ash and Fez fuck with are lowkey bad. Your gonna get yourself in major shit!" Jules jumped to response, trying to reason with her.

"I am telling you to hear me out, I already asked fucking Fez if I could have some drugs to like resell and he just thinks I'm tryna OD again, so he won't. But you know that lady, that Fez took me to one night, yeah well if I manage to get to her and like tell her that I'm gonna make her some money for her but I'm gonna make money too so we all just have just fucking unlimited drugs!" Rue blabbered, talking excessively with her hands. 

"Rue you sound fucking crazy, it's a bad idea. End of discussion." Elliot stood up, making an exit, Jules following behind, trying to give rue a look saying 'im sorry, but hes right.'

"Fuck of then, you can't tell me what to do." Rue slammed the door, storming past them to the front door. 

She was still struggling to stay sober, when would it end? When Rue would lash out at her friends, she had no intent to hurt them, or make them doubt her. She was just never in control of her own mind. 

Rue rid contently down the street in direction of Lauries, nothing was far in this small town. Everyone knew everywhere and everybody, which was a good thing for most people because you recognised where and where not to associate. 

The air was no longer warm, orange and yellow leaves filled each crack in the ground and puddles fit every dip. Each home was overly decorated in Halloween decorations. Oh to be a kid again, she thought. 

Shortly the familiar building came into sight, getting there wasn't the issue, it was getting in. Rue propped her bike up against the back wall, creeping around each corner. Each step made the floor below her crunch, a mix of water and mud, being compressed by her weight. A recognisable car parked out the front, she couldn't put her finger on whose it was. 

Commotion sounded through the gates, two figures shaking another mans hand before turning and walking towards the car. Rue quickly pushed herself against the wall in hope no one would see her, but then it all came to apparent to her. The two men getting in the car were Fezco and Ash. They were carrying a big suitcase, looking left then right before placing it in the boot. Then, the gate opened, the car driving out. This was rues chance, she ran through.

I am so sorry, I hate school. I mean stay in school, but it's incredibly time consuming. But I am so sorry.
