Leaving the umbrella in the car, I run towards the house the fastest I can. My hair dripping water. I try to clean my shoes at the entrance but no matter what, the floor will get wet because of my cloth, it probably doesn’t bother Fez as he and the girl are also all soaked. 

‘’Sup’’ She says while putting her hands in the pockets of her hoodie. 

‘’Hi, I’m Joy’’ 

‘’Rue’’ 

Looking at the girl, I notice the terrible bags under her eyes, she probably hasn’t slept in a while, and her movements mean she’s desperate for something. 

Fez puts the black bag on the table, next to a money counter. 

‘’Ashtray! Here it is’’ Fez screams. 

‘’Just one, common man, do it for the good old memories’’ 

‘’Yo bro, I told you last time, I’m not giving you shit’’ Rue starts to search the kitchen cabinets, under the sink, and under the couches. 

Still standing next to the doorway, I cross glances with Fez. His expression doesn’t mean he’s ashamed, it shows sadness and irritation. 

The boy with the tattoos appear from one of the rooms of the house, and goes directly to the table. As he sits he opens the bag and starts to take money out of it. 

‘’Come’’ Fez says to me. 

I follow him, as we can clearly hear Rue pass around frenetically. Causing the house to be now all dirty with muddy shoe prints. 

As he’s in front of me, we start walking in the hallway and he closes a door in front of the room that he leads me. 

Entering to what seems like Fez bedroom, he starts searching in his dresser. 

‘’I’m sorry your house is now all dirty’’ 

‘’Don’t worry’’ 

He gives me a COOGI sweater that I know will fit me oversized, some clean sucks and a short.

‘’You don’t need to-’’ 

‘’It’s k, just lock the door’’

He leaves the room, and I lock it as he said. Starting to change I listen some yelling. 

‘’There’s nothin’ in here bro, I already told ya’’  

Heavy foot steps can be heard. 

After changing, I start to look around the room and notice the mess. Since little, I found out that you could know what type of person is someone, by their bedroom. Dirty cloths in the floor, and an unmade bed is what I notice at first. Next to his bed there’s a grinder, an ashtray and some bottles of finished beers. 

‘’Ash, common, man’’ The girl keeps yelling and passing around. 

‘’You punk as still owes me Rue, we don’t have ‘nything’’ the boy now tells her. 

‘’You know what Fez? Fuck you’’ I hear the front door slam. 

I wait some extra minutes to go out, with my dirty cloth and shoes in my hands. The boy is counting the money, and Fez is laying on a couch. There’s an awkward tension in the air, and I don’t really know what to say. If she was his girlfriend, things definitely didn’t seem good at all. Fez begins to prepare a blunt.

‘’Hey, thanks for the clean clothes’’ I say in a low voice, sitting in front of him. 

He offers me the blunt, and I my eyes go directly to the boy that’s counting the money. I smile at him, politely declining with my head. There’s no way I’ll get high, in front of people I barely know.

‘’If you’re busy, I can ask for a cab’’ 

‘’Nah, rain just calmed’’ 

As he stands, I do too. 

‘’Everything k?’’ 

The boy nods and he starts to put the money again in the bag. Fez then goes out and starts walking to his car.

‘’Bye’’ I say to Ashtray, he turns and I just received a look back. 

As he starts to turn the car on, I try to think about something to talk. 

‘’So your girl friend, Rue… is she okey?’’ 

‘’Rue? She’s good, that’s just her normal self’’ 

‘’Hm… seems nice’’

‘’Word’’

Chapter IV

Masterlist    Wattpad 

It's been two weeks since we arrived, and I've been feeling more lonely than ever. School just seems like it's not a reality for me anymore. At nights I drink a tea to calm myself, but the constant fear of being alone is just consuming me. I like to sleep with my bedroom door locked because I fear the people, not ghosts. God, I wish ghosts were the ones that scared me. These, I can't never tell Sarah. Mornings I try to calm myself with gardening, and at nights when Sarah and Jona go, my demons take over.

Three days after I went to the nursery the lady called saying she had a small job for me, I've been working with her ever since. It's not the greatest payment, but it's something. I help with costumers and watering the plants, she's nice, I just feel like she just views me like a charity project.

The morning passed by quickly, I had breakfast alone since Sarah and Jona were asleep. I arrived at 9 a.m. to the store, and it was really calm all day because of the rain, only two costumers came by.

''Goodbye Stefan, see you tomorrow'' I say.

Stefan is Miriam's husband, both are the owners. They seem like they could have been incredible grandparents, but in my little time here I learned that they couldn't even have kids. Miriam told me it was something that she always craved since little, but when she met Stefan and she knew he couldn't have kids, time went by and they never even adopted. The nicest thing about them is that I can see them enjoying each other.

''Have a nice day, did you brought an umbrella?'' He asks

''Uh... no'' It's not like I didn't knew it was going to rain, it's just that I didn't own one and didn't want to wake up Jona to ask. Also, I didn't want to bother Stephan.

''Wait a little, I thing I have one in the back''

''Thanks''

I look outside and see that the rain is getting heavier. It's going to be a bitch to walk with my converse.

''Here you go, bought this to my niece a couple years ago, guess it was not that cool enough'' he teases me

A children size umbrella with a big print of Dora The Explorer lays now in my hands.

''Thank you, now I can't get lost''

I mean it's ridicule, but it's definitely not that bad.

As I start to walk I put my phone in my bag, since the umbrella is smaller than me I can feel my hair and bag get wet. Two blocks away, I can hear a car next to me going slower and at my rhythm. With a stop sign in front of me I look both ways trying to cross the street, the rain now starting to get heavier.

The car pulls down the window of the co-driver side, and I just look at the person inside that's not helping with my anxiety. Even from far, I can smell the weed.

''Yoo plant girl, want a ride?''

That voice I do know. Focusing my vision to the boy in the car, I see him leaning for me to notice him. His car is getting wet nonstop. You know what? Fuck it.

''I would actually appreciate it''

He opens the door, grabs a black bag that's in the seat and pass it to the back.

As I get in, I put the umbrella next to my shoes, and grab my phone from my bag to send Sarah my live location.

''I'm so sorry, your seat is now all damp''

I hug myself, since wearing just the polo shirt with the logo of the plant store gives me a little cold.

''Nah, don't worry about it, where ya' heading?''

''North... I don't know the address, it's in front of a motel, you can go straight ahead''

Realizing how stupid I sounded, he looks at me and then looks outside to the street.

''Ya know there's not only one motel in this town, 'right?''

Starting to drive, his phone starts ringing and he answers it. The person in the line starts talking loud and fast, but I can't hear it.

''Yoo, Rue chill, I'm driving, I need to do sometin' first''

The voice starts talking louder, the vision of the car starts to fade more and more, and I look at him worried that he's still on the phone.

''Shit, I'm goin' wait outside'' he says before he hangs off

''If you have something you need to do, you can just drop me a little nearby''

''Are ya in a hurry? look, I just need to drop one thing at my house, it's closer than yours.''

Nodding, I take my phone to send Sarah another message.

Joy: I'm okey

Sarah: K.

''It's okey, I just share with my sister our live location''

The comment was not to be ungrateful, one just never knows. Besides, it's not like Sarah asked me who was giving me a ride, she also don't care if I take more time, she knows I'm careful.

''What 'ya think I want to keep nap ya?'' The car now turns left instead of going straight.

''I do have a taser in my purse, tho'' I smile at him

''Shit... taser and a Dora the Explorer umbrella? Watch out for John Wick''

He parks the car and turns it off.

''Common, won't take long'' He looks out of the window of his car to a girl.

Taking the black bag with him, he's definitely not caring getting wet, as he approaches the house, I see a tall girl with a maroon hoodie and a pair of black Chuck Taylor.

Looking at their interaction, I'm afraid to go out of the car and find out is his girlfriend, as she makes some exaggerated moves with her hands and moves around near him.

Fez opens the door and the girl enters the house quickly, he looks at me from the entrance and makes me a sign for me to go with them.

Author's Note:

Chapter III

Masterlist    Wattpad 

After talking with my adviser about school, Jona gave me the directions to a plant nursery, along with a $100 dollar bill. 

‘’Try not to expend everything’’ he hands me the bill. ‘’This is for whatever you need, until you find a job’’ he adds. 

Being just a 20 minute walk, I took the moment to appreciate the houses and people leaving in this town. 

The nursery has a small fountain in the entrance, plants are everywhere. The inside, is beyond beautiful, and organized. 

‘’Welcome! Please let me know if you’re searching for something in specific’’ an old lady with a yellow apron says. 

‘’Hi, I want lilacs, lavender, mint and two cactus’’ I respond

‘’Follow me, I’ll show you around’’ 

Even if this place isn’t huge, it definitely has variety, most important of all it’s full with life. 

The lady soon leads me to where the plants are. 

- - - - - - - -

Not feeling the time, one hour and a half passes by just helping her transplant to flower pots, choosing the cactus and looking around. 

‘’I love this place’’ I say to her when I’m about to pay her 

‘’Oh dear, you are too nice’’ she says 

I’m not. 

‘’I’m actually looking for a place to work’’ I said hesitant. ‘’So, I’m looking for options, if you need help I leave nearby, I know about plants, and of course I can learn other stuff easily’’ 

‘’Thank you dear, I already have some people who help me’’ 

While I’m about to take everything and leave, I feel her eyes inspecting me, more than before. Suddenly, she takes out a notebook and a pen. 

‘’Write your name and number, I’ll ask my husband if he has any idea in what you can help, but please don’t get any hope, like I said we already have some people’’ 

‘’Thank you so much’’ I start writing my information in the notebook that has printed butterflies

As soon as I put everything in the bag, and arrange it for not to fall, I head outside to be back home. I can see the local convenience store were we arrived yesterday just on the corner of the street. 

Getting closer, ginger boy is sitting at the dirty white chair. Definitely not in the mood, to be here to turn things awkward like yesterday. 

‘’Wotcha need?’’ He greets me, while throwing what’s left of his cigarette to the floor, and turning it off with his shoe. 

‘’Hi, water’’ I give him a small smile and he nods. 

Entering to the small space and searching for water in the refrigerators, I notice there’s a fake one that leads to a room. 

Being next to me, he notice’s my delay and suddenly he opens one of the doors and grabs two different bottles. 

‘’So you like blue tag water, or red tag water’’ he mocks, grabbing the two bottles of different brands

‘’Hmm.. I don’t know, it’s just so hard to choose, there’s so many differences’’  I put my finger on my temple, simulating I’m hard thinking

We both laugh. God, his smile is gorgeous. 

‘’The cheapest one’’ I respond

For a second I’m back to days ago. When my face wasn’t fuckup, and my mind wasn’t focused in improving my sister's and my lifestyle. He smells like weed even 3 feet away. 

See I can even vision myself with this guy in a dark corner, smoking… if he was lucky he could even get a blow job. But that’s just not what I want anymore, and it’s not that I feel disgusted by his presence, just something about going to old habits seems wrong. 

I see him, I really see him. 

‘’Here’’ I take money from my wallet and put it in his hand 

He now goes to the cashier for some exchange. 

‘’So, are you here for a trip?’’ He asks

‘’Uh… no, I just moved, my name’s Joy’’ He smirks again, moving his head like a no. ’’What?’’ Am I not catching the question right? 

‘’Nothin’-’’  He now pass me the exchange. 

‘’I’m actually looking for a job, I just asked the lady of the nursery if I could work with her’’ 

I honestly don’t know if my dignity can go any lower.

‘’How that go?’’ 

‘’Uh… I think she just asked my information for politeness. Do you know anyone who’s hiring?’’ Opening the bottle, I took the opportunity to give it a small sip. 

‘’I mean… shit… you go all… beaten up to an old lady, wearing baggy cloths, pink hair, and expect her to be hiring ya’’ he says inspecting me 

‘’For your information, I fell’’ 

‘’That right? On top of Freddy Krueger?’’ He points me up and down

‘’Oh my god, you’re so judgmental’’ I give a step back from him

‘’I’m fucking with ya-‘’

‘’I know’’

Truth is, his comments did not offended me. There’s no harm in a little teasing. Wetting his dry lips with his tongue, he then pulls a blunt from his pants pocket.

‘’Ya smoke?’’ He offers me the blunt. 

‘’Nah, I’m trying to find a proper job, I also like taking care of my brain cells’’ 

The blunt looks good, I picture him on top of me in my bed. Passing me some smoke and kissing. I really can’t. The feeling of getting high is one I like, the depression that comes after it… I don’t. 

‘’Oh my god, you’re so judgmental’’ he imitates me and put his left hand on top of his heart, acting like he’s affected by the comment. Starting to turn on his blunt with a lighter. 

‘’Kidding’’ Sipping my water and having my pinkie finger upward, like I’m drinking tea. 

‘’I know some people ‘round, I can ask. What you good for?’’ 

‘’I will appreciate that, nameless’’ 

‘’Fez’’ He then proceeds to reach for something in the same pocket he took out the blunt. 

‘’Here ya go’’ He gives me his phone for me to add my phone. 

Okey. I’m looking for a job, he seems nice. No harm at all. I grab it and quickly save my phone. 

‘’I used to work at a restaurant, also used to help my family with the finance, so I’m good with numbers’’ 

Giving him the phone, he doesn’t even look at it again and puts it again in his pocket. 

‘’I saved my name as Joy, by the way’’ 

He nods, and suddenly a car with two brunettes and one blonde park in front of us. The brunette one that’s dressed like a dominatrix is the one who gets out of the car and smiles at us. 

‘’Is Ashtray here?’’ She asks fez. 

‘’Nah, what’cha need, Kat?’’ He stands up with his blunt still in his mouth and starts walking towards the refrigerators. When he’s about to open the door he looks at me… 

‘’Same as always’’ I hear the girl saying.

‘’Thanks Fez’’ I say to him in a low voice.

‘’It’s nothin’, see ya later, plant girl’’

I look at my bag with noticeable plants coming out of it. 

For a couple hours, the thoughts of my reality where not overwhelming. I put my earphones and some music, to calm my anxiety. 

Once I enter the house, Sarah’s job will be a slap of reality. My loneliness at night will also be there.

Chapter II - Why I Waited

Masterlist    Wattpad  

Our new house is not that small, but also not that big. It certainly is not that awful, it’s clean and it has some rustic and old details to it, but over all it’s a simple one story house, with tree bedrooms, two bathrooms, a small kitchen, and a sad small couch with a tv on the floor in the living room. 

‘’Jona, the house smells amazing’’ is the first thing Sarah says when we drop some moving boxes into the house. 

Jonathan is who gave us the opportunity to move into this town, he’s the manager of ‘The Handler - Strip club’, or as he likes to call it ‘’exclusive men restaurant’’, same one Sarah will be starting working tomorrow. 

‘’It really does’’ I laugh. 

‘’My Yankee Candle dropped, it’s a bitch to take the wax off the carpet’’. 

‘’Well, that apple-cinnamon smell is to die for’’. Sarah adds. 

‘’Here Joy, let me show you your new room, it has a window to the garden, Sarah told me you needed to have that view, please do whatever you like with the space… by the way, it does need a little time and patience’’. 

‘’Thanks Jona’’ I say. 

This bedroom is probably the biggest thing I have ever had for myself, Sarah and I always shared a bedroom since kids. 

I look out the window and see a big wood doll house, getting eaten by termite. 

I don’t know much about Jona’s private life, just that he’s a protective friend to Sarah, and that her daughter was taken away by her ex girlfriend. 

I can really make this garden look better, the first thing that needs to go is that nasty doll house. 

Gardening has always been easy for me, while my parents were not present in most part of my childhood, my grandma was. She used to teach me all about it, something about taking care of a living being made me feel important, that’s why I never want kids, because plants and animals can give me that happiness, one that has no expectations, you just need to be there, give them love and a little time, and they will not complain or ask for more. 

‘’Hey, do you like it?’’ Sarah enters the room

‘’Yup, pretty cool, can’t wait to remove that doll house and plant some lilacs’’ I say pointing out of the window. ‘’Also I’m pretty excited to not hear you snore, I don’t even know how it is to sleep without a bear sound’’

‘’Ha, ha, smart ass. Hey? We should totally wreck it or something, ask Jona if he has a baseball bat, or something’’ 

‘’Will do’’

- - - - - - - - 

It only has been a few hours since we arrived, unpacking boxes was not that hard since we only had a few ones. My new room used to be of Jona’s daughter, so the walls are painted in baby pink. Completely empty, there’s two doors that lead to the wardroom. 

My belongings are not that hard to place, most of it is clothing, two bags of makeup, and a photo of Sarah, grandma and me. 

Jona placed a sleeping bag and a quilt on the floor for me to sleep. It’s not that bad, the room is quiet, and I know that if I open the window, I will hear the crickets, which sometimes the sound of nature gives me serenity.  

I lay down in my new ‘bed’, and while battling my thoughts, that I know if it wasn’t for my actions we could still be in our apartment in New York City, back to a comfort zone that took us years to built after our parents went finally away. As my grandma used to say, I should ‘’only focus on the next day’’, so tomorrow I will: A. Find a new job B. Try to get back to school and C. Buy pink hair dye. 

- - - - - - - - 

‘’Good morning’’ I say entering the kitchen

‘’Hey! Can you grab the orange juice and ketchup? They’re in the fridge’’ Jona answers

‘’Sure, want some help? What are you cooking?’’ Taking the juice, I take advantage to also place tree cups on the table. 

‘’Eggs with ham, I suppose you are hungry, Sarah told me you really didn’t ate yesterday’’ 

Avoiding to answer, I start to wonder the kitchen, learning the place of every single one of the dishes and at the same time helping with the table. I’ll definitely find some time today to accommodate in here. 

‘’Oh, oh, I already see your eyes, girl, chill a little, if something bothers you… you’re free to change it, just remember to calm’’ 

‘’Thanks Jona’’ 

‘’So, what’s the plan for today, I already know you’re all scheduled’’ Sarah says entering the kitchen ‘’I start work at 10 p.m. and we will probably be back at 6’’ she adds. 

‘’Try to find a new job, search for the nearest public school and buy hair dye’’ 

‘’First thing we need to go grocery shopping’’ 

‘’And that too…’’ 

‘’Hey have you tried this? Jona put ketchup on the eggs, this shit revolutionary’’ 

‘’Ew, there’s no way that’s entering my body’’ she says disgusted 

‘’Oh common, when have I failed you? Close your eyes’’ he goes near Sarah and puts the fork near her mouth. Sarah closes her eyes and gives a bite, while processing she opens her eyes fast. 

‘’Okey I need more’’ she states

‘’Told ya’’ 

- - - - - - - -

In the grocery shop, while Sarah’s taking the essential food and toilettree products, I use my phone to search the local public school. 

‘’Do you really think I can go back to school?’’

‘’I mean, of course, it’s January, you are good with grades, your advisor said she was going to send what was needed for you not to loose what you did for the year’’

I know it’s Sarah’s dream for me to go to college, but that’s just not going to happen. I know that because we don’t have extra money. A week ago, I had it all figured out, even the money, now… nada for college. 

‘’I really want to work, I can do school and a part time job, I know Jona even offered you for me to work in the kitchen of the club - ’’

‘’Which you’re not’’ she cuts me off 

‘’I’ll search for the hair dye, you want something?’’ 

‘’Water, chips, milk and Lucky Charms’’ 

I write everything on my phone, and start to venture the store searching for it. 

When I gather the food, I take it all with my two hands, as I walk to the beauty aisle I’m intercepted by someone, provoking me to fall and drop the stuff. 

‘’Oh shit, sorry, here let me help you’’ the male voice says 

I collect the cereal and chips, and he quickly pass me the water and milk. 

‘’Thanks’’ 

He looks me to the face and his expression is just the same as the ginger guy from the store. 

Uncertainty… Doubt… Incertitude… Dubiety… but not judgmental. 

‘’Hey? It’s everything okey?’’ He dares to ask

The question completely surprises me, I know people see it, I didn’t even made an effort to hide it , putting and removing makeup in the bruises will just hurt me more and just seem like a lot of work. 

‘’Yeah, thanks for asking’’ 

‘’Okey, I mean if you’re in trouble or something, I can get you some help, it does look painful’’ 

How the fuck does this guy reads people so well? 

‘’Thanks I just, you know… was cooking and the knife accidentally got to my face, I then fall’’ 

I smile a little just to make the comment more bearable, not for him, but for me. 

‘’Yeah, sure… Hey look this is my phone if you ever need something’’ he shows me his contact number on his phone waiting for me to take mine and save it. 

Struggling with the groceries I put the stuff on the floor and grab my phone from my jeans pocket. This guy has a friendly and welcoming aura that I like. 

‘’Are you in private school? I have never seen you before’’ 

‘’Is this town really that small? Am I suppose to expect just to see the same faces?’’ 

He laughs, damn he really is a town cliché. 

‘’Something like that, my name’s Ethan by the way, I go to public, are you a rich kid that likes buying at this cheap store?’’ 

‘’I mean I just save you as the guy who didn’t saw where he was walking and hit me’’. 

He gives a small nod and smiles back. 

‘’No, actually I just came to live here, my life isn’t that wild’’ I add

‘’Hey did you found everything?’’ Sarah yells from the distance 

‘’That’s my cue to go, thanks for asking Ethan’’ I say grabbing the stuff from the floor, and going without waiting for a reply.

Chapter I - Why I Waited

Masterlist    Wattpad 

Joy

Since I was little my sister told me I should never complain, never complain if there wasn’t food on the table, never complain when there was no electricity in the house, and even worst, never complain if my shoes had a hole and I couldn’t even walk without feeling the pavement in my big toe.

It was only natural I couldn’t complain to her to turn the fucking air conditioning of her old 2000 Audi TT.

I put both my legs up on the dashboard, and look at my old white Chuck Taylors, damn, I do need to get a new pair… and a new job.

“What are you thinking?” Sarah yells over the generic song playing on the radio, and then lowers the volume.

“Honestly?” I look at her with sad eyes.

“Hey! it’s going to be okay” she takes my hand and squeeze it. “You’re going to make new friends, we are going to be far away, you can even pretend to be a new person, Joy, paint your hair black’’

’‘New person? What you want me to dress all HYPEBEAST? Do you even realize what you’re saying?” I take my hand off of hers laughing.

“Okey, no HYPE, I get it’’

’'Are we close? I really need to pee’’

’'We’re getting closer, but I can stop at the next gas station’’

’'AMEN, I also need some Ruffles”

While being in a new place gave me hope for a new story, aspects of our past would definitely hunt us until the day that we die.

Sarah’s money is dirty, and the fact that we’re moving to a new town with a “close” friend of hers didn’t made it a “new beginning”, it just made it the next chapter of our awful horror story.

Ten minutes later, there’s no gas station, but an old small grocery store with a big 'MILK East Highland Certified Dairy’ sign .

“This will do” Sarah says.

“Pee and Ruffles” I talk out loud.

“Get some Takis Fuego, and two bottles of Gatorade, here take it” She says while trying to find her wallet in her jeans.

“No worries, chica, I got you” I open the door and close it on my way to the store.

Pee, Ruffles, Takis Fuego and two bottles of Gatorate, Pee, Ruffles, Takis Fuego and two bottles of Gatorate, I go on and on, repeating it in my head.

There are two tall girls choosing between a cherry or normal rolling paper, a rolling paper. I focus on their hands and everything goes silent, I see how they move it around comparing them, they’re smiling and laughing.

“Mhm, are you buying something?” a young boy with tattoos in his face says, and my attention goes directly to him. SHIT. Am I hallucinating, again? I can’t. I really can’t. I don’t want to.

“So…” he adds.

“Oh, yeah, sorry” I analyze him, and go near him, they’re real. “Can I use your toilette? I also want Ruffles… mhm… Ruffles, Takis and two bottles of Gatorate” I add.

The young kid eyes me curiously, probably thinking I’m a psycho.

“Sure… it will be $10.95, go to the back, here are the keys, when you finish take the stuff yourself, please don’t OD in there, we don’t really let people enter’’

’'There’s a big sign, don’t forget to return me the key” He adds annoyed, then points with a hand to the direction.

“Thanks” The fuck… do I really look that bad? OD? Now I’m annoyed

I start walking and neon lights blind my vision.

“Thanks Ashtray!” I hear. Turning around, I see two rolling paper girls go in their bicycles.

I can feel the chlorine smell in my throat. I look at the small and kind of dirty mirror, sparkles of glitter are all over my face, my pink hair is washing out, and I can see a big bruise over my left eye, accompanied by a knife cut in my right cheek. I fix my hair into a ponytail, my bangs are almost getting in my way to see, one more centimeter and it will bother my eyes.

Finishing my business, I lock the door with the key and head to the fridges, Sarah is most likely entertained watching Instagram Stories, or texting her friends.

Ruffles, Takis Fuego and Gatorade.

I open de fridge door and take two Lemon Gatorades.

Looking around the store I head towards the chips stands, and found the Takis Fuego and Ruffles.

Great, it wasn’t that hard.

The boy is now sitting in a white plastic chair that looks grey because of the dirt.

‘’Hey, thanks for letting me use the restroom’’ I put the key in his hand, and hug the merchandise to my chest.

‘’No prob’’ Looking at me, he gives me a forced smile, then focus his attention counting some money.

The way the money is accommodated in his hand gives me anxiety, some benjis are facing him and others are face down.

“Yes?” He snaps at me.

“Uh…you can face the benjis upward, so counting would be easier, also it helps notice if it’s fake”.

And that’s true, but what’s really talking to me is my OCD.

“Did I asked for your help?”

I look at the money again. 1, 2, 3, 4 5, it’s getting worst every time, I just need to focus on something else…

A door next to us opens and the sound takes my attention. A ginger guy about my high looks at us curiously.

‘’Yo, is everything okay?’’ Tired blue eyes look at me as he comes closer.

‘’Nope, I’m going, thanks’’ I speed up to the Audi opening the door not looking back, that was… cringy and uncomfortable.

Sarah’s still on her phone.

‘’Hey, Sarah? Do you have an acetaminophen?’’

‘’Yes, they’re in the trunk, blue bag’’

I head towards the trunk and open it, I just need to calm down and focus on my breathing, if I stress, Sarah will do too, also with all the talking I’m starting to feel the pain again in my cheek and eye.

Finding the blue bag I take the box of pills and make sure to close the bag and trunk correctly. I now see ginger guy smoking a cigarette and looking at our car. Climbing now to the passenger seat, I make sure not to exchange glances, if I see someone looking at my beaten face again, I’ll probably start crying.

’’Good to go?’’ Sarah gives me her phone to check the house address in Google Maps.

‘’Yes’’

Fez - Euphoria

Hi! I’ve been really bored in this pandemic season, honestly I would say I don’t remember how to party or be social anymore, but that would be a lie.

My day to day consist on laying in the floor and staring at the ceiling, thinking about all those parties and failed relationships I experimented with.

So I’ve been so obsessed with this show named Euphoria, you probably heard of it, and I’ve been really intrigued with Fezco. I haven’t read a story that really shows how complicated it is to date a drug addict, or be involved in that kind of business, so I really want to represent it.

Anyway, thanks for giving my story a chance, hope you enjoy this fan-fiction.

Please comment something nice, I would love to know if you’re getting interested. Also you don’t need to watch the show to understand, I’ll try to make it a stand alone (but I mean… You should watch it, it’s worth the hype)
