Drug of choice - ashtray

XI

Rue was manic. She was adamant about some theory that Nate jacobs was blackmailing jules. Despite my dislike for jules, I hated Nate jacobs more. So I was down for whatever rue had planned.
"Yo fez so you know how in every 90's thriller right Morgan Friedman plays the semi-psychic black cop?" Rue said
"Yea" fez said
Ash raised his eyebrow at me and I got up and walked over to rue
"In every movie he's always calmly putting the pieces together, while everyone else around him is fucking freaking out, saying you don't know what the fuck your talking about Morgan , you should fucking retire. But no, Morgan is fucking hyper focused, because he can see beyond the details, he's looking for the bigger picture, because all of this shit it's connected fez, and it is way bigger than any of us can even see" "the point is that's me, right now that is fucking me, I can see everything so clearly. I know what happened, I know why it happened, and I know what the fuck I'm gonna do about it" rue finished
"Word" fez said
"I'm sorry rue what the fuck are you talking about"I asked
"She can't hear me right" rue said
"Can't see you either" fez said
"Good because this is some top secret shit" rue said
"Trust me rue, she not gon gossip" fez said
"Rue!" "What the fuck are you talking about!" I asked
"Do you still have that gun" rue asked
"What gun" fez asked
"The one from the couch" rue answered
"I mean, I got a lot of guns" fez said
"Why do you have so many guns" I asked
"My grandma" he said simply
Rue looked confused but let it go
"What you worried about my guns for" fez asked
"I was thinking that maybe you could use one to scare Nate jacobs" rue said
"Are you serious" fez asked
"Ok I'm down" I said
"I mean I'm not, not serious" rue said
"Rue that must be the dumbest shit you said all fucking day" fez said
"I mean you don't have to fucking point it at him you could just-" then she motioned her lifting up her top to show off her invisible gun
"You could flash it" rue said
"You really have lost your fucking mind" fez said
"Fuck I know it's a bad idea I mean he fucked with me he fucked with jules he fucked with abbi and I want fucking revenge" rue said
"Fuck, mouse is here" fez said
"You two stay in here be quite-"
"Fez I can't stay in here I can't-"
"Yes the fuck you can shhhh"
" listen I'm serious right now you just sit your manic ass down and be quite for 5 fucking minutes rue I'm not fucking playing with you. Sit down and shut the fuck up" fez shouted at rue
"I can't stay here" rue said looking at fez's grandmas meds
"Well you fucking have to mouse is out there"i said
She left the room before I could stop her
"Fuck" I whispered
I sat for what felt like hours.
"Yo he's gone"fez shouted
"Why the fuck did you let her out" fez shouted
"I'd didn't she just fucking left. Is it just me or is that a lot more drugs than usual"I asked
Ashtray walked it
"We can't move all that" ash said looking down at the drugs on the table
"Yea no shit" I said
"Shut the fuck up" ash said
"Fez it's fine, there's alot of fucked up people round here who needs drugs" I said
"Yea"he said unconvinced

Later that day me and ash where in the back of the shop, as always. And fez wait by the door when Nate jacobs pulled up.
"What up fez" Nate said
I slowly walked out into the main shop leaning against the wall and staring at Nate. Waiting for something to go down.
"Sup man" fez said
"Yo can I get uhh two of the rolling papers too bro" Nate said
"Yo Man, I don't know what been going on with you rue and jules and shit and I heard about all the shit with abbi, so you should know, I really do care about them"fez said
I walked up to fez and stood next to him
"Aren't you like rues drug dealer, and I don't know what freaky shit you got going on with abbi but a 15 year old running away to live with a 20 year old, doesn't look good for you" Nate said
"Nah bruh that's like my family" fez said
It made my heart swell.
"So it's platonic" Nate said
"Look man. All I'm saying is leave abbi rue and their friends alone" fez waid
"Is that a threat" nate asked
It made me furious.
"Nah I'm just telling you"fez said
"Or what"nate said
"We not gon be having this conversation" fez said. Nate walked right up to fezco before I stepped in front of him making Nate scoff and take a few steps back
"Fezco let's get this straight, your like half a retard, you dropped out of school at 20, and nowww your a gangster. What are you like tony Montana what's the plan? Gonna be living in a mansion fucking pet tigers and shit" Nate smiled widely
"Go fuck yourse-"
smack. I jumped up and punched Nate right in the mouth, he leaned forward holding his face so I grabbed his shoulders and kneed him his balls he fell to the floor so I straddled him and started choking him before fezco pulled me off.
He picked Nate up and went right up to his ear
"Keep fucking with rue abbi or their friends
and imma kill you.Gonna be $5.75 playboy" fez said calmly
He threw the money at fez then stormed out spitting blood on the floor.
Ash ran out.
"Yo what the fuck happened"ash asked looking down at my bleeding knuckles
"Yo abbi you can't be doing that shit" fez said
"Did you hear what he said about you" I told fez incredulously
"I don't need you defending me, Nate coulda fucking killed you"fez said
"I'm not scared of Nate jacobs" I said plainly
"Your lucky you didn't get hurt" ash said impressed, finding what had just happened funny at most
"Hes lucky fezco pulled me of him" I said
"No abbi, he's not, he's twice your size, older than you, a man, And a very fucking angry one at that. I don't care how tough or crazy you are. You are a little girl in a little girls body, you need to start Being more careful bruh"fez said
"Oh please if you thought I was some fragile little girl you wouldn't let me do half the shit I do. Ash is my age, barely taller than me, would you be angry if he just beat the shit outta Nate jacobs?" I asked
Fez went quiet. I won
"I think abbi is doing exactly what we need to be doing, all this stuff going on with mouse, no more shit for real. We need to be ready to kill, for family" ash said
"Fez you let people walk all over you. People need to respect you. If they don't respect you, they need to be scared of you"I said
"I don't wanna fuck with all that violent shit" fez said
"Nate jacobs came in here, disrespected you and left still relatively unharmed. He took about none of what you said seriously. If anyone is worth using as an example, use Nate, he's a shitty fucking person anyway" I said
"I'll think about it, for real, take care of your hand" he said
"Oh shit" there was a small pool of blood by my feet where my hand had been dripping blood.
Ash put his arm around me and we walked away slowly leaving fez staring at his own feet, deep in thought about what had just happened.
"Sit down" ash said, which I did mindlessly
He went out and came back with whiskey, he wet a rag and held it on my knuckles, I had to say it was one of the most old fashioned tactics I had ever seen.
"Not many people would do that for fez. Not many people would do that at all. I don't think you realise how fucking crazy you are. Attacking Nate jacobs like that was insane"ash said softy, he grabbed my other hand and pulled me to stand up.
"You think I'm insane?" I said in the same tone
"No" he said quieter than ever. Running his finger over my jawline and looking at every part of my face other than my eyes.
"A while ago you said You where scared of me. Is that true?" He asked
"Not really" I said
"good" he said getting closer.
"Because I love you"he said I was starting to get deja vu. Now our faces where nearly touching.
"I love you t-"before I could finish ashtray kissed me. It wasn't how I'd expect. It was very gently and slow,like he was trying to portray an emotion through the way he was kissing me, and when he pulled away we barely moved. Still standing less than an inch away from each other, ash reached up and grabbed my face holding it sternly and looked into my eyes, Scanning my face, waiting for me to say something.
But yet again
"Oh shit" fez said standing at the door to the back room. Ashtray looked at fez and scoffed, clearly annoyed.He let go of my face and turned to fez.
"Bro seriously" he said
"I'm sorry man I didn't know. Do yall want some like privacy or something" he asked
We both just looked at him. Silently answering him with our facial expressions.
He turned to walk away. But still only sat opposite the glass door non discreetly peeking every few seconds.
"Ashtray, I don't know how I feel about you. I'm sorry if you wanted this to be the perfect moment and we would both confess our feelings for each other, but I just don't know yet" I said
"This isn't a decision type thing abs. I'm just gonna do what I need to do to figure my own feelings out and I'll never rush you to figure out your own . I can tell you what I know so far. I find you attractive, your one of the people I love most in the whole world, I worry about you all the time and your so fucking crazy but i respect you for it and I just wanna be around you, all the fucking time"he said
"Pretty much said it all"I said softly chuckling
We looked over to see fez eyeing us and we laughed when he looked away as soon as he was caught. We both walked out and towards him
"Sup"he said avoiding eye contact
"Ask away fez" I said bracing myself
"Nah it's not my place" he said looking down at his feet
"Fez , come on" I said
He looked up excitedly
"Ok, I mean like.."

I hate this with a burning passion. I tried so hard to make it work because I felt like I was robbing you of this moment. But I turned out really bad. I can edit the kiss out and remake it another time if you all hate it. Let me know!!
