Fezco; Euphoria

Chapter 01

I went down the grand stair case to a ring on the door bell. I made sure I got to the door first because Nate said he may stop by. Which I was 100% ready for because I had just got some new lingerie.

I open the double doors.
Rue is on the other side, dressed in a hoodie and sweat short with curls everywhere.
"Hey Hal, I know it's been a while" rue slurs. She's high.
"Um..... yeah. How did you know I live here?" Not that I really cared. What I did care about is the fact that I haven't talked to her in like almost 2 years and she thinks she can come up to my house?

"I saw you get out of your car here yesterday, and I asked my mom." She laughed at the second part.

Too be honest I missed rue and I's relationship. We were so different but yet so similar that's how it worked so well. We had each other's back always and plus she wasn't annoying like Maddy. The only thing was, we fed off each other. If she did something I HAD to out due hers, and she would do the same. I didn't want to do drugs anymore, boarding school wasn't worth it. I never thought I would say it but I missed East highland.

Rue could tell I didn't know what to say. So she spoke again, "So what made you guys move to this big house?"

I opened the door a little bit and started to walk more inside so she knew it was okay to come in. She obviously had no clue what happened.

"My parents divorced." I said, looking up and away instead of making eye contact. I hate talking about it, but I'm glad they finally did the damn thing. Thank god they did because my mom got full custody of me and immediately pulled me from boarding school. Once she did she told me how my father was abusive and do whatever hey says. She felt terrible my life was taken away for almost 2 years. She's been making it up to me, with the divorce she basically became rich. On our way home of picking me up from boarding school she told me we had to stop somewhere because she had a surprise for me to take home. A brand NEW car. I definitely have taken it to my advantage.

All of these luxury's were so nice and I didn't want to fuck it up by doing drugs again.

I knew it hurt my mom, she never addressed it since. But it almost feels unfair to do that to her.

"Oh-" is all Rue says.
"My mom didn't tell me that..." she continues.

"Yeah well my mom has been trying to keep things private.." I pause, "how have you been?"

She has her hands crossed in front of her and she looks down then away, "I kinda just got out of rehab..."

Shit.

Oh, fuck. I wasn't expecting that one.
"So they finally found out? I mean it's about time real-" I was cut off to Rue have tears fall down her cheek.

She looks so pretty when she cries.

"I uh, ODed. Gia found me.." I reach my hands out and she grabs me in an embrace. No matter how distant we've been, we will still be best friends. When I'm with her it feels so natural, and like home.

I can't even imagine what her family thought. They were pretty stupid not to notice her taking drugs though. It upsets me that she went back to her old ways so quickly.

We stood in my doorway for a minute just hugging each other.

I let go and grab her hands and look into her eyes, "I'm always here for you."

She let a weak smile while wiping the tears off her face.

"Anyways show me your new house dumby." She chuckles and a hits my back.

I give her a bitch look and smile while I race her up the stairs.

I open my door which is the 2nd room on the left, my black tile floors laminate the room. I have a white puffy hotel style type of bed. A king size, with a neon red sign up above it, outlining 2 cherries. The end post of bed was black cushioned and it was directly across a dusty silver dresser. Diagonal to my impressions vanity - vanity and light bulb mirror.

Rue took in the rooms every detail. Finding her way to my balcony, where I had a cute little table with 2 chairs and tons of plants.

"This is a dope smoking area." She says as she sits down looking at the view of the LA suburbs.

"You would be thinking about that" I yell at her and we both laugh.

"Hallie!" I hear a scream come from the hallway.

Rue and I both look at each and we both get up but  I put my hands on both her shoulders meaning for her to stay put in my room.

"I'll be right back" I say to her while stepping outside my room closing it quietly.

"What?" I say giving my mother a look who is standing at the end of the stairs.

"Someone's here to see you honey, and he's very handsome." She trails off.

Fuck, it's Nate.
