It was your chance to start over , somewhere new and far away from that hell hole you had once called home. A new beginning. You had been driving for hours and had no clue of where you were going all you knew was that you found your opportunity to get out and you took it. After driving for what seemed like an eternity you made it to New Orleans. You had an old friend who moved there after high school and said you could stay whenever you decided to visit. You decided to ring her up before just barging in uninvited. "Hey Sam" you said. "Oh hey (y/n) what's up?" "Nothing much...what are you doing right now?" "Nothing why?" "Because I may or may not be outside of your house right now..." "are you serious ? I'll be right there hold up". As you made your way out of your car and up to the front porch you saw the door open and a short, skinny, blonde girl fill the door way. "Oh my god (y/n) it really is you!! I haven't seen you since graduation" she said with excitement. "I know I know it's been awhile" You replied. "What brings you here?" She asked with a concerned look. "I just needed to get away...for awhile" you responded. "Oh well come on in!" She said cheerfully. The two of you sat and caught up for a couple of hours.

" Well I'm sure you're tired after all of that driving here let me show you to your room" she said. You followed your friend down the hall until she stopped at the last door on the left. She opened the door to a simple little room with a dresser and a queen size bed. "Is there anything else I can get you?" She asked. "no no you're fine this will do" you replied. "Okay well let me know if you need anything"

Around 4 am you woke up to the sound of a loud crash in the living room after contemplating on whether you should get up or not you decided to investigate. You slowly exited out of your bedroom and tried to make your way down the hall but it was pitch black. When you had finally made your way to the opposite end of the hall leading into the living room you crashed into someone. "What the fuck" you yelled. "Shhh" you went to turn on the light but Sam had beat you to it. "Oh (y/n) I see you've met one of my roommates friends, Scott. Scott this is (y/n)" she said tiredly. He flashed a smile revealing a set of gold grills. "Uh ...um hi?" You said still wondering who the hell this guy was and why he was in your friends house. "Why are you here anyways I thought you'd be asleep or making music ...somewhere else?" Sam said. "Oh ya I stopped by just to grab some stuff Oddy forgot earlier" He replied. "And you thought 4 am would be an appropriate time to come by?" She responded this time with an attitude you could tell she was growing impatient. "Max said the door was open if I wanted to stop by and pick it up" he said. His voice was deep with a thicker southern accent you could definitely tell he was a native or was from somewhere in the general area. "Okay wait who the hell is Max and Oddy?!" You asked. "Oddy is my cousin Max is our photographer" Scott replied. "Photographer?" You asked still confused. "I'll explain later... you get whatever you need to get and leave please and thank you" Sam said still annoyed.
After Scott had left you went back to bed and woke up later that day to the bottom of your friend Sam's high heels clicking on the bedroom floor. "Hey so I have some errands to run so I won't be back until later okay?" She said. "what time is it?" You asked while yawning. "It's around 1 in the afternoon . If you want you can take a shower. The boys are here but I told them not to bother you. I gotta go bye" she said as she walked out of the room. After laying in bed for a good 20 minutes scrolling through your phone you finally got your bag out and grabbed a t-shirt and some dark jeans and made your way to the bathroom. The shower was okay for the most part after finally figuring out how to fucking work the nozzle to turn on the water. As you got out you grabbed a towel and dried off and started to get dressed. You brushed your hair and teeth and made your way out of the bathroom and made your way into the kitchen. But before you decided to head straight for the fridge and raid that shit. Something stopped you. Out of the corner of your eye you spotted an outline of someone you figured it was Scott but to your surprise it was a different guy. This guy had thick, long, curly, brown hair , and was a bit shorter than Scott. You didn't know whether to turn around or to proceed to enter the kitchen but he had already seen you and it would've been weird if you just turned around and walk out. So you entered the kitchen silently trying to avoid eye contact. "hey you're new" he said. "Oh um hi yeah ...I'm (y/n) who are you?" You asked awkwardly while looking for something to eat. "you won't find anything in there... Meth and I raided it like 20 minutes ago.. if you want we were just about to head out and get something to eat since Scott's hungry" he responded. "Meth?" You asked. "Oh um yeah ...he's a friend we just call him that... I'm Aristos but call me Ruby" he replied. "So you wanna go or??" He asked. "um I mean sure I guess" you replied.
