Safe and Sound (RB)

Rue's View

"This is your sponsor, Y/n. She'll keep you on track." Micheal says.

I nod and Micheal leaves.

"How are you feeling?" Y/n asks.

"I feel like shit." I say.

"You look like shit." Y/n says.

"Why would you say that?" I ask laughing.

"It made you smile." Y/n says.

I could lift you up

"I guess so." I say.

"The quicker you get back on your feet, the quicker you get to go home." Y/n says.

I could show you what you wanna see and take you where you wanna be

"I'll be with you every step of the way." Y/n says.

You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down, I know that we'll be safe and sound

I nod and smile.

We're safe and sound

"Draw 12." I say putting 3 cards down.

"Do you have winning cards?" Y/n asks.

"No." I say lying.

Y/n sighs and draws the cards.

"The color is blue." I say as Y/n fixes her cards.

I put my last cards down and she stares at me.

"You lying bitch." Y/n says as I laugh.

"Oh, man, I needed that." I say wiping my tears.

I could fill your cup

"Fuck you." Y/n says putting her cards down.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to see the look on your face." I say.

"We're cool, right?" I ask.

"I'm stuck with you." She says shuffling the cards.

You know my river won't evaporate this world we still appreciate

"That's good to hear." I say.

You could be my luck

"I was trying to play nice, but now I'm about to school you." She says.

I laugh and she smiles.

Even in a hurricane of frowns, I know that we'll be safe and sound

"Can I tell you something?" I ask.

"Yes." Y/n says.

"I feel safe around you. I feel like I can just be myself, because you're way weirder than me." I say.

(Safe and sound)
We're safe and sound

"That's my goal — for you to feel comfortable." She says.

(Safe and sound)
We're safe and sound

"Hey, bitch." Maddy says walking in.

"How are you?" Maddy asks hugging me.

"I'm good." I say.

"Anything new or are you just sitting in here staring at walls all day?" Maddy asks.

"They gave me a sponsor — a guide — and I really like her. I can just be open with her without being judged." I say.

(Hold your ground)
We're safe and sound
(Safe and sound)

"Hey, Rue." Y/n says walking past.

"Damn, she is fine. Uh, I mean—" Maddy says.

"I think I'm in love." I say.

I could show you love

"Love? You barely know her." Maddy says.

"Yeah but I get the butterflies and no one else makes me feel the way she does." I say.

In a tidal wave of mystery, you'll still be standing next to me
You could be my luck

"And she'll go hard for me, almost like a ride or die." I say.

Even if we're six feet underground, I know that we'll be safe and sound

"That's what she's paid to do! She's paid to distract you from the drugs and keep you happy. If she wasn't getting paid, she probably wouldn't care." Maddy says.

"Her job is to keep you safe and sound!" She says.

We're safe and sound
(Safe and sound)

"I'm sorry but that's more than likely the truth. She'd ditch you in a heartbeat." She says.

So this "connection" is fake.

3 hours later...

"Come play ping pong with me." Y/n says.

"No." I say.

"What? Why not?" Y/n asks.

"You don't really care about me, you're just pretending so you can get paid." I say.

Y/n stares at me and laughs.

"I'm a volunteer. I get paid through free lunch." Y/n says.

"Oh..." I say.

"I really do care about you. And I wanna keep in touch even after you leave this place." Y/n says.

(Safe and sound)

I hug Y/n and she smiles.

(Hold your ground)

"I like you, I really do." Y/n says.

(Safe and sound)

I smile and she kisses me.

I could lift you up

Time Skip

"Just order what you want, it's on me." Y/n says.

I could show you what you wanna see and take you where you wanna be

"I have to admit, this is my first date." I say.

You could be my luck

"Oh, really?" Y/n asks.

I could lift you up

"Yeah." I say.

Even if the sky is falling down, I know that we'll be safe and sound

"I'm honored to be your first. I'll try to make it memorable." Y/n says

I could show you what you wanna see and take you where you wanna be

I smile and nod.

You could be my luck

"Rue?" Someone asks.

Even if the sky is falling down, I know that we'll be safe and sound

I see Lexi and she walks up to the table.

We're safe and sound

"I didn't know you were back." Lexi says as we hug.

"I just got back today." I say.

We're safe and sound

"Uh, this is Y/n, my sponsor. Y/n, this is Lexi." I say.

We're safe and sound

"Oh my god, is this a date? You're on a date?! I'm so sorry. We'll talk later. Have fun!" Lexi says before running away.

We're safe and sound

We laugh and smile.

(Safe and sound)

"She seems nice." Y/n says.

We're safe and sound

"She's my best friend." I say.

(Safe and sound)

"And I'm not?" She asks.

We're safe and sound

"You're my girlfriend." I say.

(Hold your ground)

I widen my eyes and Y/n smiles.

We're safe and sound

"Okay." Y/n says.

(Safe and sound)

Y/n holds my hands and I smile.

We're safe and sound
