THE DAY FELT somewhat melancholy despite the sun shinning high in the sky, lighting up on goers who started the day, the sky clear of clouds that once covered its baby blue structure.
hey lord you know i'm tired of tears
Gia was in her room getting ready for a day out with friends, this was the first time in weeks since summer started that she last saw them and y/n thought it would be good for her to get out the house while the good weather stood still.
Their mother was out at work, working double shifts to be able to provide for the family meaning that they were home alone. Originally Rue was supposed to watch over the three but she decided that y/n would be a better fit. Rue was, mentally unstable to put it in lack of better words so the outcomes of her watching them wouldn't be good.
Something in the air was foul but the trash was taken out, dishes were clean, and the floor was moped, it always was.
y/n waltzed out of their room with a pep in their step. They danced throughout the hall, careful not to tangle their fingers in the new headphones rue bought for them. The song was I'm Tired by Labrinth. Although the song was sad something about it was beautiful and graceful, it was like walking on memory foam.
They go up to Gias' door, swaying their hips as the walk. Before their fist could hit the door it swung open revealing Gia with a bag in her hand, giving them a teasing smile.
She motions for them to turn down the music, "They're outside, I was just about to go."
Y/n nods and moves out of the way so she could pass by, they takes out a earbud noticing Gias outfit, they whistles at her as Gia does a little spin. "Damn, okay! That's nice. Who got that for you again?"
Gia rolls her eyes and flips them off "You did."
Y/n exclaims and walks towards her. "damn right I did!" They adjust the jacket that rested on her shoulders and leaned in, "Okay, you be safe you hear? No drugs, No sex, No drinking, No-"
Gia cuts them off, turning around to head to the door "Yes mom."
"Phone?"
Gia raises her hand, in it was her phone that was cracked on the back.
"Pepper spray?"
She shakes her bag.
"Money-?"
"I gotta goo," She laughs opening the door and walking out, she leaves it open and y/n steps forward and stands in it. Watching as she runs down the walkway giggling as her friends usher her over.
"I love you!" y/n shouts playing with the hem of her tank top, their eyebrows crease with worry. They know she'll be alright but the fear still sets within.
The sound of the cars engine roars to life and the driver puts the car in drive. As they roll away Gia yells back a muffled "Love you too!" the car slowly goes down the road and y/n sits there watching them leave.
Sighing, they lock the door up and closes the blinds. The dust practical in the air float around as the only light now was the one in the hallway leading to rues room.
where is Rue? She hadn't been out of her room all day, not even to use the bathroom or get something to eat.
"that's not healthy," They go to the kitchen and grab a poptart not bothering to warm it up, but, they do put it on a plastic plate. The move their iPod in their left hand.
"Rue?" They call out, closing the cabinet. They don't get a response back and rolls their eyes.
"Rue!" They call out again making their way to the hallway that leads to her room. Once again no response, "dude what the fuck?" Either Rue wasn't actually responding or they just couldn't hear over the volume of the repeating song. They nudge one of the earbuds out of their ear.
They walk closer to the door, muffled gargles come from inside and a loud thump shakes the floor.
"rue?" everything stills as y/n slowly opens the door, their blood runs cold, the sound of the music fades away as the grunting gets louder. "oh dear god."
Please don't say you need me
rue lays on the floor convulsing, vomit soaks her top and trails down the side of her neck and piles up at the corner of her mouth. She was bent backwards letting all her weight onto her legs. Two needles and several bottles are knocked over next to her. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as her arms fall from her body.
Release me, Believe me
Y/n is frozen in fear, the sound of Rues cries get drowned out by their own as they scream out in pain, "RUE!" they run into the room leaving the poptart discarded in the hallway, they bump into the door frame, knocking the ipod out of their hands.
One day you will see me
their body shakes as they sob, tears build up clouding their vision, they lean out hands trying to still rues body but the fear of hurting her lingers and their hands hover over it. "fuck, shit, rue oh my god, what did you do?!"
they quickly pick up the bottles that lay next to her, Fentanyl, it reads. The entire bottle was empty, "fuck."
Believe me, Believe me
They pick up the ipod and stand up, the smell of bile is pungent. "I'm calling for help rue, don't worry baby, I got you."
9-1-1, they dial, it slips out of their shaking hands and almost lands onto the floor.
One day you will see me
It takes a few seconds to get right but sooner or later the dial sound rings out and a monotone voice echoes back from behind the screen.
Believe me, Believe me~
"9-1-1, what is your emergency?"
