"Don't go soft on me Bennett."

:

Leon got out of his car and made his way towards Fez who was chilling outside of his corner store.

"Hey Fez." Leon stood beside him offering him a fist bump.

"Hey Leo wassup?" Fez looks at him with a nod.

"Nothin much just you know doing what I gotta do." He shrugs taking a blunt out and lighting it up, he takes a long hit before giving it to Fez.

"Word. How's business doing?"

"Good But now that most people know I sell I've been getting random numbers text me." He pulls out his phone and shows Fez the random numbers and Texts. "But it's making me good money."

"Yeah that's great man you need anything just come and talk I'll help you." Fez offers. Leon smiles and nods at Fez thankfully.

"Thank Fez That means a lot..." he takes a hit from the blunt and inhales the weed. "I was actually thinking about selling you know."

"Like drugs and stuff?" Fez asks with his eyebrows raised.

"Yeah weed obviously maybe acid and shrooms. Something small you know?" Leon explains.

"I feel you, ash is in the back if you wanna see what he can give you." Fez says. Leon pulls out his wallet before Fez interrupted him. "Nah put that away I'll spot you this time if things go right then you'll pay up when you need more Okay?"

"Fezco doesn't spot anyone." Leon jokes. Fez chuckles before flipping him off. "Thanks Fez have the blunt."

"I wasn't on planning on giving it back." They both laugh. Leon walks in the corner store and opens the door that leads to the back.

"Sup Ash." He fist pumps him.

"Hey Leon what you need?" Ash asks.

"What do you have? I'm selling now." Leon informs.

"K what you need?"

"Maybe a a couple tabs of acid, what ever new shit you have."

"I'll see what we have."

For the next 15 minutes Ashtray fills a mid size bags with drugs and tells Leon what specific kinda drugs they are and how much they usually go for.

"Fez said he'd spot me but I'm not gonna leave without giving him a little something." He puts the wad of cash in front of Ashtray and fist bumps him. "Thanks little man!"

"You know I fuckin hate it when you call me that!" He hears Ashtray yell. Leon laughs to himself as he gets in his car.

When he stops the car and gets out, he looks up at the building and starts to grow a bit nervous. He walks towards the yard and makes it towards the entrance.

"Hi how can I help you sir?" A kind lady asks.

" I'm here to see Rue Bennett." Leon says wiping his hands on his pants and putting them in his jacket.

"Follow me." The kind lady takes him into the same visiting room. He sits on the same leather couch near a window and waits till his best friend comes out.

"Hey Lee." Rue walks in the room and smiles.

Leon and I have been I guess you could call us best friends for about a year now. Since I overdosed  he always came to visit, which is nice of him. I just wish we could be in a room with drugs than here in rehab.

"Hey Rue." Leon gets up and hugs Rue as they calm each other's nerves. They pull away and sit down.

"So how's your journey with Father Christ Rue?" Leon asks with a small smile. Rue pushes his face slightly with and laugh but goes quickly goes along.

"I mean ever since I gave my life to my lord and Savior everything has been really good." Rue shrugs before pointing a finger up in the sky. Leon smiles wider and shakes his head

"No but for real how's everything Rue. I bet it feels like shit getting clean." Leon scoffs running his hands through his curls.

"Tell me about it Lee it fuckin sucks but I'm one week from getting out and we'll be able to do delivery runs and take so much fuckin drugs. It's gonna be awesome." Rue smiles leaning on Leon's shoulder.

"Yeah I miss that shit." Leon smiles looking at a picture on the wall.

"Don't go soft on me Lee." Rue jokes making both let out a chuckle

"Never." Leon whispers jokingly

"So how's Chris?" Rue asks she could practically sense Leon's eyeroll.

"She fuckin exhausting all she ever does is wanna have sex, and if im not in the mood, she says I'm cheating on her." Leon rants annoyed.

Leon met his Girlfriend Chris at a party, both were drunk and ended up having sex. They went out after that but Lee came to Realize it was possibly a big mistake. You see, Chris was like a sexaholic all she ever wanted was to fuck him, and when Leon didn't want to she would ignore him or accuse him for cheating. Which would cause them to argue, a lot.

I never really liked her, she was so super clingy and a brat. She would cheat on Leo and in return he would cheat on her which was always funny because he loved it when she would cry for forgiveness Leo and I would hold in our laughs because she looked constipated and the amount of weed we smoked.

"So when are you gonna break up with that bitch she's literally exhausting and I'm not even her boyfriend." Rue exclaimed.

"I don't know I feel like if she wasn't the way she acted maybe we could have something other than sex." Leon sighs.

"Cut the shit Lee break up with her and when I get out we are gonna get shit faced." Rue offers looking up at him.

"Deal." Leon says. For the next hour Both teens talked about random stuff till Leon had to make a delivery. "Okay Rue just one more week don't go all Christian on me Okay."

"No promises." Rue jokes. They share a final hug before Rue whispers. "Thanks for visiting man it means a lot lee."

"Don't go soft on me Bennett." Leon jokes.

"Never." Rue chuckles.

"But for real Rue I can't leave you, your my best Friend"

"Thanks Lee." She says. "If you didn't visit Im positive i would've gone crazy."

"Anytime."

Leon walked out of the building and got in his car putting in the location of one of his regulars. Once he got to the familiar house he goes to his Truck and pulls out 2 packs of beers and 3 bottles of liquor. He shoot the client a text to let him know he's outside.

"Wassup man." His client daps him up.

"Hey, pretty small order you havin a kick back or something?"

"Yeah just a few people, wanna beer or something?"

"Nah I'm good, I gotta head home. But you want some new shit I'm selling?"

"What do you have?"

"I got weed, acid, coke probably more."

"I'll take 6 tabs of acid."

"Okay. Here you go, Anything else."

"No thanks man. Here keep the change." His client hands him 500 dollars and puts the alcohol in the house. Leon liked his regulars they paid more than they had to he didn't complain.

*-*-*-*-*-*

Leon sat in his chair by his desk as music blared from his speakers as he snorts a line of coke. He loved getting high alone because if people saw the amount of drugs he can tolerate people would judge and when people judge for no fucking reason it kills your high.

He raps along before rolling up a blunt and lights it. Leon looked forward to doing this every day, it was always fun and Chill, he hated when people wanted to kick it with him. He knew damn well they only looked forward to hanging out with them so Leon could smoke them out. Not Rue though he had a soft spot for her, like Fez, he didn't care weather or not Rue was rich or poor, that was his best friend and if he had the weed or the drugs he would let her get high however much he wanted, except for what he took the night he overdosed.

He pulls out his phone and puts the blunt in his mouth, he quickly scrolls to find a names and when he sees it he took a deep breath.

"Hello?" Christinas voices say through the phone.

"Hey Chris, I think we should break up." Leon says nonchalantly.

Chris scoffs. "What do You mean I think? Leon is there some bitch you're fucking-" Leon hangs up the Phone and Groans before cracking a smile.

Why didn't he break up with her sooner?
