Rues Narration:
Emma and Fezco have been dating for a month and a half now. After the fourth week of Fezco avoiding to talk to Emma because Nate Fucking Jacobs decide to snitch on him to the cops, which resulted in his house getting raided, everything has been smooth sailing since. Their relationship was back to normal.
I have never really seen Fezco happy like this for a long time, well when I first knew him. Sure he would have his good moments. But seeing him with my best friend Emma, he was loving every bit of life at that moment.
Fezco treated Emma well, occasionally he would buy her stuff such as jewellery or new books, much to Emma's dismay. She really didn't care about his money, but she was grateful and showed her appreciation.
Emma also treated Fezco right, she finally found an opportunity to spoil someone through her cooking. breakfast, lunch and dinner she would make all these amazing meals for Fezco and Ash. Ashtrays favourite meal was French Toast, while Fez favourite meal would be steak. Emma would usually get to his house before he comes back from his station to start on cooking. She knew he would be tense and drained from having to run a conscience store and running a drug business.
Fezco loved stepping into his house where the aroma of food filters through the air, the whole house would be scented by what was being cooked. For Fezco and Ashtray, they loved it. After their grandma died, they only had to look after themselves. But having Emma around, for once in their life they felt like a normal family.
Although it has been good, there has been only a few down moments. Emma was concerned about the business, they would often disagree or lightly argue. Fezco would often have to make her sit down to talk and explain, she knew that just the station on its own could barely cover the grocery shopping itself, their current profession was really their only affordable income. However since the house was raided, thousands worth of drugs were to be flushed away. Fezco was pissed, he threw everything he could find at the nearest wall. He owed Mouse money and he needed to find a way to come up with it before he comes back.
Fezco loved having Emma by his side to support him through hardships. Whether it was helping him with the store or dealing with Ashtray being in a mood, it was much easier with Emma by his side. He just wished that he could live a better lifestyle for Emma and Ashtray. One where they didn't need to be involved in drugs and Ashtray could live his life being a kid.
But mostly, he wants to change for Emma. To prove to everyone that he isn't dumb or he isn't just a drop out drug dealer. Fezco knows he can do better, and he knew that Emma could help him change.

"So the bitch of a doctor said I couldn't have Roxicet all because of my drug substance abuse. I mean like, it's not drug abuse if it is warranted." Rue stated.
"I think that might be a good thing Rue."
"Anyways, how are you and Fez going? Are you guys good after that.. you know." Rue asked.
"We are good now, we have had a few talks here and there. He is just worried about me getting mixed up with the business."
It was the truth. A few conversations had to be in placed, It was the truth. A few conversations had to be in placed.
"Look if this was any other girl he really wouldn't give a fuck about dropping them. Fezco has met a lot of dim- witted girls. With you, that won't happen. Trust me, I know Fezco isn't going to break up with you. I think him not being with you might hurt him more." Rue said as she takes another spoonful of jelly.
"I hope so." Emma sighed.
"How are you feeling anyway?"
"A bit of pain, but the Tylenol is kicking in just nicely." Rue reassured. Emma decided to join Rue on the hospital bed.
"You didn't do this because Jules went away right?" Emma asked worriedly.
"No, this has nothing to do with Jules." Rue tried to assure Emma however she knew that Rue was not telling the truth.
"Do you think she went away because of the situation with Nate?" Emma asked curiously.
"You know what I think about that too." Rue answered as she points the spoon at her.
"Do you think Nate is in love with Jules?" Emma questioned. Rue didn't answer, it was obvious that the questioned pondered on Rues mind aswell. Upon the three friends, there was somewhat to a truth. It was unclear what label they could put on between Jules and Nate, however the reason behind Nate's intentions with Jules was also unclear.
"Uh Fezco is here, he's picking me up. I'll see you when you come out." Emma says as she hugged her friend goodbye.
"I don't want to have to keep coming to a hospital to see you in here." Emma stated.
"I love hospitals, hospitals love me. It's inevitable."

Emma and Fezco sat in comfortable silence until he spoke up about the concerns he was feeling, setting Emma into a worried state.
"Look I know you want a normal relationship, trust me I do aswell. But you getting mixed up with this, I don't want to see you getting hurt." Fez said, they sat on the couch watching a documentary that Emma recommended to watch.
"And I won't, I know when I can't be around here or when you need to be off the phone. I'm fine with that." Emma reassured him.
"Emma-" Fez started to speak but he was cut off again.
"My mom loves you, she knows how you make me happy, my friends aswell. Yes a few weeks ago I admit I got emotional but that's because I didn't know what was happening. We have been dating for a little while now so now we have structure of what I need to do when you gotta do business again." Emma said. His long pause and silence was starting to worry Emma, she could tell that something was off with him.
"But don't you think you can do better?" Fez asked quietly. He hated to say it, he cannot imagine Emma being with someone else, the feeling made him hurt and angry inside.
"Honestly I don't think I can. All the guys at school are just assholes, they don't even take their relationship seriously. They're not like you." Emma said as she sat up on the couch.
"I'm sure they are not all bad." Fez sighed.
"Uh if you paid attention at parties, you will see guys eyeing off other girls while they are taken. You could walk into a room and find your man with a topless girl on top of him. Boys don't care what they do to their girlfriend. Frankly they don't have the same maturity level as you."
"I afraid to see you get hurt." Fez said quickly.
"And you won't." Emma says while she lays back against His chest.

"You not coming tonight?" Emma asked as she was slipping into her dress.
"I don't go to that school, so no." Fezco laughed as he placed the cigarette between his lips.
"A lot of guys that don't go to that school are going though, it's not going to make a difference." Emma reassured him.
"It will be when a high school drop out drug dealer shows up to a formal." He said, as he watched her. he noticed Emma struggling to get the zipper up at the back of the dress.
"Come here." He flicked her hand away and adjusted the zipper as it glides up towards the top of her dress.
"Dam girl, you be looking like a queen." He praised her as he spun her around.
"Only for you." She said winking at him.
"I'm sorry I can't come. I got stuff I need to do tonight, but I'll make it up to you baby." Fez lightly kissed her forehead, wrapping his arms around the petite girl.
"And I don't want people bringing you down because you're with me." He said quietly.
"Let them talk. I'm happy, you're happy. They don't need to know our business." Emma shrugged as she put her hands behind his neck. Her smile was hypnotising to him, he could watch her for hours, the look she gives him is enough to make him melt in her arms.
"When are you thinking of going to Rues?" He asked curiously.
"In a little while, why's that?"
"Suppose we have some time before you gotta leave." He smirked while zipping her dress off.

"Get in Bitch." Maddy shouted from the car. Emma climbed into the car sitting next to her, Cassie was driving while Lexi was in the passenger.
"Who's ready to get fucked up?" Maddy asked sarcastically.
"Are you actually drinking tonight, on formal night?" Emma asked shocked.
"Of course, Prom, party or wedding. I need a drink in my hand." Maddy stated, she gave Emma a small bottle of Gatorade. Emma opened it up and smelt the liquid.
"What else is in here?" She questioned curiously.
"Ever clear." Maddy grinned.
"Fuck it." Emma says she drank it then passing it on too Lexi. She attempts to contain her gags from the taste, which left a horrible after taste.
Emma continued to look on her phone to see if Fezco messaged her. By the time she left his house, he was dressed like he was about to run a marathon. However Fez did not mention any plans tonight or where he was going.
'Perhaps business related' Emma thought. She sighed as she placed her phone back into her purse.
Emma hoped that he would be okay tonight.
