Priscilla sat quietly in the world's most uncomfortable chair, her head leaning on the back of the palm as she watched as Rue slept. Her eyes slowly went towards the machine that was hooked up to her friend. She followed the wires all the way down, making her way to the IV that was placed in Rue's arm.


Priscilla continued to stare at nothing for a while until the movements of Rue waking up snapped her out of it. Priscilla grinned, moving the chair closer to the bed as Rue opened her eyes. "Hey," she greeted softly.


Rue simply smiled, blinking, "Oh, thank god. I thought you were that fucking nurse."


Priscilla chuckled, "You get to leave tomorrow, are you excited?"


Rue just shrugged, "Eh, I kind of like hospitals. Aren't you supposed to be at work right now?"


"Yeah, but I wanted to see my friend and her infected kidneys," she joked, poking Rue in her side.


Rue rolled her eyes, "Whatever. Hey, are you alright? You never told me what happened after the cops showed up."


"She's still asleep," Ash peaked his head in the bedroom before slowly closing the door. He came back in the living room as Priscilla rose from the couch.


She went into the kitchen, her shaky hands grabbing a glass from the cabinet. She tried to calm herself down as she turned the faucet on before taking small sips of water but her hands didn't stop shaking.


Fez was sat at the couch still, his head in his hands as he thought to himself. A couple of seconds of silence passed before he started the screaming.


"Fuck!" He yelled, rising from the couch, pacing throughout the room.


He thought about the thousands of dollars him and his brother had just literally flushed down the toilet, how fucked up the apartment now was from the raid.


"Fuck! Fuck!" He continued to yell, angrily punching the air. He grabbed a glass vase that had been resting on the coffee table, chucking it to the wall as hard as he could. Glass and water went almost everywhere as the flowers inside limply fell to the floor. Priscilla slightly jumped at the sound of the shattering, her shaking increasing even more as her anxiety thickened.


She decided to put the glass down before she accidentally dropped it, backing up against the kitchen counter to catch her breath. Fez continued to curse and scream as Ash took charge of calming him down.


"What the fuck are we going to tell Mouse?" He asked, pushing Ash back when he tried to console him, making his brother trip over himself. "Nah, bro, how the fuck did the cops even know about our shit?"


"How the fuck am I supposed to know?!" Ash yelled back at him, his arms out by his sides. The boy shook his head, heading down the hallway back into his bedroom before slamming the door shut.


Priscilla came back into the living a few moments later when she finally had calmed down. She sniffled, rubbing her nose which was now red.


"It was Nate," she dryly chuckled, taking a seat at the couch.


Fez turned around, looking at her, "What?"


"It was fucking Nate Jacobs," she shook her head, leaning back into the chair, "he called the police, his family has those types of connections."


"Why would he do that shit?" Fezco joined the girl.


"You threatened him. He doesn't like that."


Priscilla coughed, scratching the back of her neck, "Yeah, about that, Fez is handling it."


"So, it was Nate," Rue tilted her head forward, looking at Priscilla.


The blonde nodded, talking lowly as people passed by Rue's room, "He just said he was going to handle it."


"How?" Rue scoffed.


Priscilla shrugged her shoulders, "He told me not to ask questions, so, I didn't."


"Uh, okay," Rue shook her head, changing the subject, "have you spoken to Jules?"


Priscilla gave the girl a look, before chuckling, "Why would I? Why? She hasn't come to visit you?"


Rue didn't respond.


Priscilla sighed, "She'll come, Rue."


As the two continued talking, catching up on the school gossip and what was happening on Love Island, a man dressed in white walked into the room. Priscilla got a glimpse of the clipboard in his hands and the uncomfortable smile on his face and knew that it was time for her to leave.


She stood up, brushing Rue's messy hair back, "I'll see you later, okay?"
