Sawyer sat at her dining room table with her head rested in her hand, as she blankly store down at her calculator in pure fustration. She had pretty decent grades so far, but Algebra 2 was her worst.

She store down at her note book reading the notes that she had carelessly jotted down in class, now becoming irritated at herself for not writing them in a way she could understand.

Sawyer glanced back up to her computer screen and just typed in an answer, before slamming it shut. Her phone started buzzing and she picked it up.

Sawyer ran as fast as she could to Fezco's.
Once she arrived she was greeted by Fezco at the door, she made her way inside and saw Rue laying down on the couch.

Sawyer crouched down beside her older sister, "What happened?" she shot Ashtray a hard glare as he sat on the couch across from them.

"She had some fentanyl." He nonchalantly stated, slightly shrugging his shoulders.

"What?!" Sawyer lightly raised her voice, staring hard at the boy as she began to fill with anger.

"I gave her some Narcan she's gonna be good." Fezco assured. he stood behind the couch looking down at them, "And her friend Jules is on the way."

Sawyer slowly nodded her head as she shifted her attention back to Rue, "I'm so happy Saw." she muttered.

"I know.." Sawyer sighed, as she placed a curl behind Rues ear, moving it out of her face."Help me get her up." Sawyer stood up.

Ashtray nodded his head and the two of them lifted Rue's limp body off of the couch and they each had one of Rue's arms, around their shoulders.

They made their way to Fezco's car and they laid Rue, in the back seat.

A few minutes later Jules came on her bike and quickly sat it in the front of the house and made her way to everyone. Fezco came outside and explained the whole situation to Jules and the two of them agreed on taking Rue back to Jules's place.

Sawyer stood in the drive way along side Ashtray as the two watched Fezco drive away.

"Are you uh good.." Ashtray lowly spoke.

"Uhm.. yeah, no I'm fine." Sawyer nodded her head, wiping her eyes.

"You don't look or sound fine, Lee." Ashtray lifted her face up with his finger on her chin.

"I am." Sawyer sniffled, "she just.. scares me."

"I know... Wanna talk about it?" Ashtray looked down into Sawyers eyes.

She made eye contact, and shook her head no.

"Wanna go for a drive and smoke?"

"Yes."

      They were in the car for 15 minutes already, in pure silence. Ashtray usually listened to music but he wasn't sure how to make Sawyer feel better and he didn't wanna trigger any emotions.

"She worries me so much." Sawyer finally broke the silence.

Her knees were in her chest as her body was slouched in the seat. 

"That's not your job to worry for her. When she's doing drugs she not worrying about you. Or anyone." Ashtray kept his eyes on the rode.

"yea.. but like that's my sister and I love her, I don't want her to die." Sawyers eyes began to water at the thought.

"Again that's not your job Lee, you can only be there and try to support her but if she wants to kill herself thats really on her." Ashtray bluntly spoke.

Sawyer widen her eyes at his brutal honesty.

Ashtray quickly felt bad and glanced down at her, "sorry.. I didn't mean it like that."

"No you're right, if she wants to keep doing drugs then she will I can't force her to quit." Sawyer felt defeated.

"Who knows though right? Maybe she will get better." Ashtray tried to ease the tension.

Sawyer just gave a fake smiled nodding.

Ashtray pulled into a empty parking lot.

The two got out of the car and sat on the curb.

Sawyer rested her head on her knees as she watched Ashtray roll the wood.

Ashtray raised the blunt toward Sawyer, and she nodded her head attempting to take it.

"No." Ashtray looked at her.

Sawyer frowned, "What?"

"Open."

Sawyer was a bit weirded out but let Ashtray place the blunt in between her lips, and a she took a deep inhale.

Ashtray brought the blunt back to his mouth and took a few drags himself.

Sawyer just sat pondering in thoughts.
