TW FOR VIOLENCE AND MENTIONS OF RAPE AND EATING DISORDERS!!

rue was sitting on the counter in the kitchen, eating her cereal when y/n came home. rue felt blessed that her late night hunger woke her up at this time, or else this talk would probably never had happened

y/n's face was cleared of the makeup she wore at the halloween party (which was almost a week ago) and had a grey duffel bag on her shoulder

"hey y/n" rue said placing her cereal bowl down. y/n flinched and saw rue looking at her through the kitchen opening

"hey, y/n" valerie, a pretty girl in her chemistry class said

 "hi rue."

"you staying for the night?" 

y/n only nodded and went into the hallway to dispose of her dirty clothes into the washer. rue followed her into her room, "do you need any help?"

y/n let out a tiny 'yes' and rue went to her closet to help pack to go to wherever she's been staying at for the past four months

"hey, i saw some of my stash was gone."

"sorry." the younger girl muttered, "you don't smoke it as much as you smoke cigarettes, so i thought you wouldn't notice."

"well just ask me next time, m'kay?" she said placing two outfits into the now empty duffel bag. y/n nodded again, "do we have any more cereal?"

"yeah, there should be some cheerios and fruit loops."

rue finished packing (deliberately adding her old favorite sweater) and zipped it closed. she looked around her little sister's room, the walls devoid of any personality. 

it hurt rue to see that y/n was always too scared to stay for extended periods of time in fear that rue and mom would have another huge blowout.

y/n was sitting on the other end of the counter, no cereal in sight. she was looking at her phone and texting someone rapidly.

"hey y/n/n?"

the girl looked up and turned her phone off, giving her undivided attention to her, "how was the halloween party? i never got to ask you."

"oh, i didn't go." the girl said

the whole party smelled of crack and alcohol. she immediately wanted to leave, but didn't want to leave without maddy. she didn't want anything to happen again

rue nodded, emptying the soggy cereal down the drain, "so, it wasn't you i saw in the basic instinct costume?"

"you know i don't wear that skimpy shit." she said in a matter-of-fact tone. 

rue had to admit, y/n was a very good actor. but, it was true, it wasn't like her to wear that, but it was her that night, talking with cassie. and it scared rue

y/n kept eye contact with cassie (who looked stunning in her alabama worley outfit) throughout the entirety of the conversation for two reasons.

one-rue was here with jules. if she blended in well enough, she didn't have to worry

two-val was here. so, that really scared her

"when'll you be back?" 

"in about two weeks. i'll stay longer though."

"and you'll eat, right?"

the girl gave rue an almost perfect quizzical look, "that's a weird thing to ask."

"but, you will right?"
