Euphoria

Open the fucking door

Since the incident with Nate I stayed off school for the rest of the week as Nathan had went away due to work again. But it's Friday today so I have something to be looking forwards to, the carnival is tomorrow and Maddy has been texting me about it non stop.
Rue came by last night to check on me because we hadn't really spoke. She spoke about Jules and how close they're getting, it seemed like she kept Rue really happy to the point where she didn't want to take drugs. I told her about Fez and I and she seemed genuinely excited for me.

I had spent almost all day in bed doing nothing so I went to the liquor store. "Hey Fezzy" I giggled at the name knowing he hated it as I walked up to the store. He was sat outside on his chair as usual smoking a blunt.

"Y/n man I've already told you bout calling me that" he rolled his eyes making me giggle even more. Since having sex a couple days ago we'd done it again, and again but never really spoke about where this left our friendship. All I knew is that we weren't official. I went to walk past him into the store but he gently grabbed my arm. "Why aren't you at school?"

"Nathan is away and I needed a break" I shrugged. Technically I wasn't lying I did need a break from school, Nate terrified me that night. I've felt gross since he touched me it's like no matter how many times I shower he's still on me. He let go of my arm and just hummed in response as he exhaled the smoke.
We sat outside passing the blunt back and forth for a while talking about anything.

"So what's the real reason you ain't at school because I know exactly when your fine ass is lying to me y/n" Fez said out of nowhere. I've never been great at lying, not even when I was a child.

"Just stuff" I shrugged throwing the end of the finished blunt of the floor. "I don't want to talk about it"

"Well I ain't gonna grill ya man but... you know" Fez wasn't one for handing out heartfelt compliments and he really isn't a 'I'm here to talk' type of guy but he does try.

"I know Fezzy" I smirked giving his a quick kiss which we often do now.

After sitting at the store a couple hours I decided I'd head up and watch a movie because sitting down there was getting boring. "Imma head up to watch a movie, you coming?" I asked Fez as I stood up from the chair beside him.

"Ash watch the shop!" He took my hand and lead me up to the door. I immediately ran to the couch and laid down kicking my shoes off getting comfortable whilst he went to check on his gran in the other room. When he'd came back to me I already had a movie ready to start, candy man. It was an old classic horror movie, my favourite types.

"I missed you" I mumbled as I put my head into his shoulder and snuggling into the side of him and pressed play on the movie.

"Me too" he whispered to himself putting his arm around my shoulder.

We were about half way through the movie when there was a knock at the front door. I looked up as Fez got off the couch to answer it. "Who is it?" He asked waiting for an answer but there was none. He opened the door seeing Rue standing there. I thought she'd stopped all this shit. "Not today Rue, sorry" he sighed watching the girl standing at the door as I watched from the couch.

"Come on man don't be a dick" she scoffed whilst laughing thinking it was a joke. Fez and I spoke about Rue days ago, he didn't want to sell her anything anymore. He cared about her too much.

"I'm serious Rue you can't come in" he shook his head glancing over to me for a brief moment.

"Look man all I need is a few OC'S" she tried to plead with him but he just shook his head. Seeing her like this, desperate for drugs made him sick.

"I can't help you sorry" he mumbled hoping she'd walk away. She was better than this.

"Fez, Fez listen I've had a really really fucked up day alright. It's been a really really fucked up day so I need you to open the door ok. Can you open the door?" She tried to calm her breathing down but I could tell she was getting annoyed at the fact he wouldn't let her in.

"I'm not going to help you kill yourself Rue. You can't be coming over here no more" he sighed shaking his head as she looked over his shoulder to me.

"Y/n please. Please let me in" she begged at me across the room. I've never seen her this desperate for drugs before. Something must have happened between her a Jules or something. I didn't say anything to her, I couldn't I was too upset. A tear fell from my eye and I turned away from the door.

"Just go home" Fez mumbled as he closed the door and locking it behind him. He stood there for a while as she shouted through the door at him.

"FEZ! FUCK!" She slammed her hands against the door making me jump. "Fez open the door please, I'm begging you to open the door" her breathing became more erratic as she screamed. Fez turned around standing with his back against the door as he looked at me sat on the couch.
I shrugged my shoulders not knowing what else to do or say. I seen his face and it broke my heart. I've never seen him sad before and this was killing him inside. He didn't want his friend being dependant on drugs that's why he's refusing her them, for her own good.
"You're full of shit man" she tried to say calmly. "You know you make your living off of selling drugs to teenagers! Now all of a sudden you want yourself to have a moral fucking night ground! Is this for her? Are you doing this for y/n? She doesn't love you!" She screamed through the door. I didn't know what to do, I really do love Fez and seeing him like this upset me. I wanted her to leave I wanted to take her home but there was no way she would calm down if I went out there.
"You're just a drop out drug dealer you know that? A drop out drug dealer with 7 functioning brain cells" I stood up from my spot on the sofa and walked up to him wrapping my arms around his torso and laying my head oh his chest. He put his arms around my shoulder giving my head a small kiss.

"I love you" I mumbled in his chest thinking that he wouldn't hear it over the noise or Rue slamming her hands on the door.

"Open the door Fez! Fuck you! Fuck your Fez." She stopped hitting the door and I could hear her calming heralded down with breaths. "Are you doing this because you care about me?" Her voice cracked as she was about to cry. "If you cared about me you wouldn't have sold me the drugs in the fucking first place. But you did" she sobbed. I looked up at Fez who quickly wiped a tear from his eye and look down at me. He looked defeated I could tell what she was saying was getting under his skin. I just hugged him tighter. "You fucking did! So the least you could do is open the fucking door" she screamed again making me jump. Fez took my hand.

"I can't do that I'm sorry" he spoke through the door "go wait in my room" he whispered in my ear, reluctantly I left his side and sat on his bed still listening to Rue screaming through the door.

"Open the door! Open the door!" I should hear her kicking shit out the door from the other side of the house. "You did this to me! You fucking did this to me Fez. You ruined my fucking life" she cried through the door. "If you don't open this door Fez I swear to god I will hate you for the rest of my life until I die"

"I'm sorry" he whispered before walking away. He came into his room with watery eye. I immediately got up and gave him a kiss.

"She didn't mean any of that" I tried to convince myself as well as him.
