Twisted Euphoria

Relapse Has A New BFF

*Continued narration by Rue*
I don't now if it's because I am ridiculously high and can't exactly feel my feet but she's kinda... cute. Wait WHAT AM I SAYING? Wait.. can she hear me? Of course she can't hear me this is my conscious speaking. Wait can her conscious hear my conscious? That would be kinda co-

Apolla: Are you okay? Your look kinda constipated? 😂(she said laughing)
Rue: Oh ummmmm Yes. Haha. Just a little in my thoughts... Umm I stay a few houses down actually.
Apolla: Cool cool. I'm uh almost done unpacking..
Rue: You maybe wanna.. come over?
Apolla: Only if you promise you're not a serial killer haha. 😂
Rue: I can assure you I'm not a serial killer.

*Just a high schooler who has OCD, bipolar disorder, substance abuse issues, and a whole bunch of other fucked up shit going on, but definitely not a serial killer.

Apolla: Cool I'll just put this last box in my room and tell my mom I'm leaving.

*Apolla is admittedly pretty, long curly black hair, she looks about 5'3, same skin color as me, clear skin, and the softest hazel eyes I've ever seen. There's something about her that makes me think we're not that much different from each other.

Apolla: Okay. Let's go.

****They arrive at Rue's house. Rue grabs a bag of chips and Kool-aid and they go to Rue's room.

Apolla: Nice place you got here. Where's your family?
Rue: My mom and sister are out visiting my dads grave.
Apolla: Oh I'm... I'm sorry... Why didn't you go?
Rue: Well I um-
Apolla: I'm sorry that came out kinda rude. You don't have to answer that.
Rue: No it's fine....My dad was my best friend. He died of cancer a while back and it messed me up....Badly. I only visit his grave by myself. It feels more personal that way... I also hate to see my mom cry so going by myself is like my only option.
Apolla: That's very understandable.

****There's silence while the two look at each other. Smiles creep upon their faces and they eventually start laughing.

Rue: What's so funny? Aha
Apolla: You trying to hide the fact that you're clearly high as a kite.  😂

****The two fall back on the bed laughing.

Rue: That my friend, is very true haha.
Apolla: You uh... Got more?
Rue: More what?
Apolla: Drugs haha.
Rue: Oh...

*Narration by Rue*
Okay.. So we're alike waaaay more than I thought. This could be fun.

****Rue looks Apolla in the eyes and smirks.

Rue: Wanna get high? 😏
**** Apolla smirks back and they both laugh. Rue opens a pill bottle, takes out two white pills with a snowflake on them and crushes them. (Yea the pills you're thinking about, that's them. If you don't know what I'm talking about, stop reading this and watch the first episode of Euphoria.😉)She takes a one dollar bill, rolls it up and snorts one half. Apolla snorts the other half. As the drug kicks in, the two fall back on the bed slowly, stare at the ceiling and watch the LED lights change from red to blue to green.
"Skyline" by Brent Faiyaz plays from Rue's bluetooth.

Song: "Do you know what makes, this world go round?"
Apolla: That is a wonderful question.
Rue: What is?
Apolla: Do you know what makes, this world go round?
Rue: Oh yea, this song is amazing. The words really speak to you. Like what is the answer to that question?
Apolla: Well.. If I had to answer that while sober, It'd probably be something along the lines of a science lesson that we probably learned in middle school. But at the moment, I'm higher than Mount Everest soooo I'd say... A force.
Rue: A force?
Apolla: Yea. A force that's greater than ourselves that we can't really explain, but it's real. That force put us here and created all of these "situations" or "feelings" like love, success, status, etc. so that we can be distracted from the way we'll die... So in a way, we-
Rue: Are what makes this world go round.

****They both look at each other as if they just discovered the answers to the unknown.

*Narration by Rue*
Apolla is literally my other half that I never knew could exist. She's freaking fantastic...Awkwardly, this is all reminding me of the night I met Jules... and when I stayed at her house after the party. I miss her.

Rue: Apolla you're literally my twin. 😂
Apolla: I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

****They end up falling asleep. Around 5 o'clock, Rue receives a text from an unsaved number.

Unsaved number: "Hey, I miss you.🥺"
