I felt like I had ruined my relationship with everyone I knew, I didn't even get to properly know Monty and I already screwed that up last year when I slept with Winston, right next to him...which guess he had reason to be mad. Then Winston yesterday when I said all of that shit in front of Rafa and Elio which caused him runaway off into an uber and then last night with Elio. I felt as if everyone who got close to me I caused them to hate me or runaway. Just a few minutes ago, I got into the car and Elio sat in the passenger seat, he didn't even say a word to when he picked me up, instead talked to Rafaela the entire time.

"We're going to your place, right?" Elio jugged a bottle of Snapple looking at Molly.

She shrugged and seemed uncertain, "I'm going to my place, you guys stay here in the car, I'll be in and out I just need to get some things real quick," she corrected emphasizing the "I'm"

"What's wrong? no one cares about a messy home Molly," Elio nudged her.

"Nah, that's not it," She turned onto St. Vincenzo Avenue which really isn't the part of Crestmont you want to be in, "my folks aren't really the type of people you want to be around," the streets were laced with tattooed men and large women with half died hair and stained white tang tops with beautiful children who had the darkest blue eyes and curly brown locks.

"You live here?" I leaned in from my seat.

She nodded, "Since I was 12."

She pulled in to a ratchet, skinny, two-story house it was almost falling apart. Her car came to sudden halt, "Be right back," She turned off the car, got out, and slammed the door behind her running inside through a door next to the garage.

Elio readjusted himself in his seat and opened up his phone.

"I'm sorry," I said in a quiet, low voice.

Elio sat there and didn't move. I didn't think I made him that mad.

"I said-"

"I know what you said," he whispered agitated. He put his phone down on his lap, "I just don't understand where all of that rudeness cam from last night like I was just trying to ask you a question and playing around like why did you get so upset?"

I sighed, "I don't know I was just having a bad day I guess."

He scoffed, "yeah, whatever," He turned himself towards the door and opened it, slamming it behind him. From what I've seen of him, I never thought he could be this aggressive. I slammed my fist on my seat and hesitated before leaving the car and following him in the house. He had already almost opened the door that Molly had entered.

"Wait we're not supposed to go in" I warned him.

He opened the door and creeped inside anyways.

I called out his name, "psstt, Elio."

He stood still right past the door, staring inside. I jogged to the door and could see the clouds if white smoke engulfing Elio. Just the slight dim of the fairy lights hung up on the ceiling were visible. I slowly walked inside and saw Molly standing in front of three people. One black woman leaning against tall white vanity. Her hair was straightened down to right past her large breasts and dyed a bright neon green. She was wearing heavy makeup with sharp eyeliner and dark red lipstick, her cheeks and tip of her nose shined brightly. She had on a tight, black leather dress, tattoos down her right leg and red stilettos to top it off. The other one was a big woman but with a slim waist. She was asian and was holding a blunt in her hand which had long bedazzled acrylics. She was wearing a matching outfit made up of cropped hoodie and matte joggers. On her feet were oversized chunky white sneakers that were neatly tied with precision. The final one was a black man, he was fit and decorated with intricate tattoos. He was wearing a stained Gucci shirt with ripped jeans and black high top shoes. He had cornrows that came down to right above his ears and thick black sunglasses covering his eyes.

Molly jerked around, "What the fuck? I said stay in the car!" she whispered flaunting her arms in the air, "Here, I cut your leash, your free to go bitches," she teased making a cutting motion with two fingers.

"Who dis?" The black woman questioned crossing her arms walking over and gently standing behind Molly.

Molly rolled her eyes, "They're my friends."

The woman stared at us with a grin on her face, before speaking, "I'm Destiny, pleasure," she stuck her hand out to me and Elio, I politely shook it.

"Shawty over there," she said pointing to the asian woman, "that's Naki."

She moved her arm to point to the man, "that's a 'lil hood rat, we call him Ricky-"

"Yo you're the hood rat, Destiny!" he clapped back at her.

She simply stuck her middle finger up at him and continued talking to us, "So what'chu her for...fentanyl, opiates, molly?"

Molly scoffed, "They're not here for drugs, Des, I told you their my friends, they wasn't even supposed to get out the fuckin' car," she eyed us.

I noticed the small baggies filled with crushed up white powder and bottles of all sorts of drugs.

Naki squished the blunt on a flat circular container with grey ashes in it, "Sure they are, come here babe you seem nice...I'll hook you up for free- one time only!" She said grabbing my arm and gently bringing me towards her. Elio stayed silent watching me and Molly.

Molly attached her self to my arm and pulled me away, "He doesn't want any, Nakano," she warned her with a fierce expression.

Destiny giggled to herself, covering her mouth and slowly walking back over to the vanity filled with drugs, "dumbass bitch," she whispered under her breath.

"Shut the fuck up, bitch," Naki yelled at her.

Destiny frowned, "Fuck you Naki,"

Ricky lifted himself from the seat and grabbed a cartridge of Juul from the counter and handed it to Molly, "Here, be home by 6," he demanded.

"Yeah, okay," Molly agreed in a hurry.

Molly proceeded towards the door, Elio behind her. I followed them but was stopped by hand latching on to my forearm. I turned my head quickly, it was Destiny, "take this, I saw you eyeing those bottles over there," she whispered subtly, "It's free first time but after this it'll cost'chu twenty a bottle, a'ight?"

I didnt know what to say so I just nodded and hurried out the door. I'm not sure why I took the bottle anyways, but I did, I guess I was just under a lot of pressure.

"Sorry guys for being so mean in there, I have to act tough around them or they'll think I'm a pussy," Molly sighed sincerely and got into the car.

I opened my car door and tried to not to slam it behind me, "That's your family?" I asked her.

She bit her lips, pulling out of the cracked driveway, "Yeah I told you since I was twelve I've been living with them, I ran away from my foster home when I was eleven and about 6 months later they found me and brought me in-but I won't get into that right now its a very long story."

I smiled, "That's...cool I guess."

"Not really," Elio added.

I chuckled awkwardly to myself looking down at my hands, one grasping on the car door and the other cradling a bottle of oxycodone.
