vii. UNPLANNED MEETING
or lulu and rue putting themselves in danger

Lulu opened her bedroom window, lighting a cigarette as Kat jumped on her mattress. Lulu tossed her phone on the bed as it was still ringing.

"It's Rue," Kat said as she checked the screen, "Don't wanna pick up?"

"No, I'm hanging out with you right now."

Kat smiled, placing her juul in between her lips. Lulu was quick to lay down next to her, watching her friend with some curiosity painted on her face.

"So, you texted me saying you needed me for something," Lulu started, "What's going on?"

Kat suddenly tensed, sitting straight up, "Don't make fun of me, okay?"

"Girl, why would I ever make fun of you?"

"It's just... I need some advice."

Lulu simply nodded, waiting for her friend to explain what was going on. An awkward silence settled in, "Come on, just tell me, I won't judge."

Kat sighed and pulled out her phone, showing her the screen. Lulu recognized Kat in her underwear, covering a part of her face with a dark mask, "I... Just tell me if you think I look ridiculous or not."

Kat played the video as Lulu discovered a part of Kat she wasn't sure existed before the video of a girl from East Highland being fucked from behind was leaked just a few days ago. Lulu never asked her if she was the one in the video —and didn't want to assume it was her, but she couldn't deny how odd it was to see such an abrupt change in Kat after this supposedly fake rumor was spread around.

Kat was sensually dancing to Tempo by Lizzo and Missy Elliott as Lulu was trying her best not to look jealous of how confident her friend looked on the screen.

Lulu was speechless at the end, causing Kat to panic on the inside, feeling like a total idiot.

"Just... say something? Anything."

Lulu slowly turned her head to make eye contact, "That was freaking hot, I'm jealous."

Kat felt her cheeks burning up, "Really?"

"Uh... yes?!" Lulu said, standing up as she put some music and started dancing around, "You gotta teach me now!"

"Bitch, I've seen you dance, you don't need me," Kat scoffed, "Why'd you think I came to ask for your opinion, uh?"

And the two girls spent the rest of the afternoon chilling at Lulu's house, always finding the way to forget about their problems when they were together.

... ... ...

Lulu walked out of her house for less than two minutes to take the trash out that she was already soaking wet.

She was about to run back inside when she noticed Rue running towards Fez's house. Now, the two girls hadn't talked for two weeks but Lulu wasn't about to let her coerce Fez into selling her some drugs so she ran in her direction right when Rue started banging loudly on the door.

"Hey, open the door!"

"Rue, don't you fucking dare go inside," Lulu shouted.

Rue swiftly turned her head, "Oh, so you're alive!"

"Shut the fuck up," Lulu snapped.

"What do you want?" Ashtray asked.

"Open the fucking door!" Rue shouted.

Ashtray opened the door, letting the two girls inside.

"No, bro, tell her to come back later," Fez said from another room.

"Too late bitch," Rue said, going into Fezco's room.

"Rue, fucking hell, get the fuck out of here," Lulu spat before looking over at Fezco, "I'm sorry, really."

"Hold on, hold on. You can't be in here right now," Fezco said, "Yo!"

"I see you, cash money."

"Nah, nah!"

"I need some OC's and some socks," Rue said.

Lulu rolled her eyes, feeling like she could smash the glass that was sitting on the kitchen counter onto the ground. She made eye contact with Ashtray, who was already looking at her intensely.

"I can't help you right now. You gotta go. Yo, for real, Rue. I ain't fuckin' playing with you. Come on. You can't be in here."

"Look, Fez, I'm fucking drenched. Okay? And, uh... I'm out of drugs. So... Don't be a dick."

"You're being a dick, Rue!" Lulu spat in anger, "I'll fucking throw you away myself."

"Stop pretending like you care, fucking bitch!" Rue replied loudly.

"Oh, my God. That's not my fucking problem. You gotta get up out of my house right now before these motherfuckers come through," Fezco growled, becoming more anxious each second.

"All I need is a couple OCs, and some Xannies. That's all I need, and I can be gone."

"Yo, I'm trying to tell you, I don't got shit right now. Like... Come back in a few hours, I got you, whatever you need. But right now, you gotta get the fuck up outta my house."

"I know you have something, Fez."

"I'm just telling you, I don't got shit for you, Rue, come on. I need you out the house right now. My guy's about to come through here. I don't want you here when he gets there, you understand?"

Rue bursted out of his room, jumping on the couch, "Give me drugs."

"This is dead serious. Yo, Rue," Fezco urged before facing Lulu, "Please, don't stay, he's fucking trouble."

"I can't leave her, like... look at her. She's a fucking mess," Lulu said, "I can manage."

Fezco's phone started ringing and the three friends stared at the device, feeling like this was a turning point.

"I could fucking kill you right now. Yo, Ash, they're here. Look, I'm serious, Rue," Fezco said before pulling out a gun from the cushion, "Just stay right there, keep your mouth shut, and be cool. These dudes ain't fucking around."

He placed the gun on the other couch, probably where he'd be sitting later on and Lulu felt her entire body turn cold. She had been at Fezco's place a million times, she had seen him handle tough situations but it was the very first time she saw him with a gun in hand.

Fezco approached her, "You can still lock yo'self in my room, really. I-I don't want somethin' happening to you 'cause you trying to protect Rue."

Lulu didn't think twice, "I'm good here."

He sighed and walked towards the front door as Rue and Lulu exchanged a scared glance.

Now, I'm not gonna lie. That's when I started to get a little scared. I mean, I'm all good with drugs until guns start coming out.
And that's when I realized I just put Lulu in a very very dangerous situation. Because she fucking cared about me. Even when I was being a bitch.
