'Trying To Get To Heaven Before They Close The Door'

"Lady im not gonna ask again close your Fuckin Legs!"

*-*-*-*-*

A week after winter formal i had found out about Leon's relapse and when i did.....

"Fucking Run!" Leon yells as he throws a bottle to slow down the man chasing them. Rue's eyes widen and she quickly ran. They ran as fast as they could a good distance was split when Leon leaned to catch his breath. "Fuck smokers lungs." He mutters.

"Im gonna fucking kill you." The guy said run full sprint. Leon looks up quickly and breaks to a sprint and runs as fast as he can. He quickly caught up to Rue who was also taking a break while heavy breathing. Leon grabs her hands they continue to run. "You little assholes!"

"Holy shit!" Rue slurs. Tripping.

In my defense I probably shouldn't have gotten drunk.

Leon laughs loudly yanking her again. They continue to run and when they look back they see the man slow down and stop. "If i see you too im gonna fuckin kill you." They hear him faintly.

Rue looks at Leon and began to laugh loudly as she leans on him. Leon cracked a smile before he let out a loud laugh as well. He pulls out his phone and show Rue the photos of the guy with a penis tattooed on him now. They laughed even harder and their stomachs began to hurt.

"Fuck. God....i cant believe you did that Lee...are you insane?" Rue catches her breath and smiles at her shoes.

"Insane no. Drunk as a mother fucker yes." Leon chuckles. He takes out a cigarette and lights it he takes a drag before he takes a few steps and looks at the streets that were dimly lit from the shitty streetlights. "I fucking missed this..." he looks at Rue and smiles. "Doing this shit and not giving a fuck...it feels so amazing."

"I know i missed this too...." Rue mumbles taking the cigarette and taking a drag as well. "Fentanyl?"

"You know it..."

I missed this but whatever came with a decision you know isn't good for you came with a consequence and pretty soon Leon's gonna drift away from me because when he missed something so much he would make sure it came back 10 times strong.

Wherever his happiness was it always led back to his addiction.

*-*-*-*-*

Leon and Rue were in the back of a car high as fuck vibing to Tupac as Rue rapped the lyrics.

"First off, fuck your bitch and the click you claim westside when we ride come equipped with game you claim to be a player but i fucked your wife-"

"Yo its up here on the right." Ash tells Fez making Fez take a right. Ash looks at Leon and then looks at Rue making Leon laugh as light a cigarette putting down the window.

"You know the rules, cut your young ass up, leave you in pieces now be deceased lil kim dont fuck around with real G's, Quick to snatch yo' ugly ass off the streets so fuck peace...let the westside ride tonight." Rue snorts a line and hands the book back to Leon who hold the cigarette in his mouth while making another line. "Aye call the cops when you see Tupac, grab your glocks when you see Tupac....." she mumbles more till Ash looks back at Leon.

"Yo can you tell her to shut the fuck up?" He asks Leon glances at Rue.

"Bro she's high its fine Ash really." Leon shrugs Ashtray sighs before turning to Fez.

"Fez tell her ass to shut up."

"Yeah, Rue you gotta chill out back there for real. Me and Ash gotta handle some serious business right now so." Fez states calmly.

" yeah, for sure, no I can do that. I can just stay back here. It's real comfy." Rue says stretching. "You good?" She ask Leon who throw his cigarette.

"Yeah im fine just wanna get high, its fuckin new years. You know what they say New Year, New me. I gonna look so much more sexier than I already am this year." He jokes Rue laughs as Fez chuckles and Ashtray breaks into a smile still kinda pissed Leon didn't tell Rue to shut up. A gate opens and the four see Custer and a girl.

"Who the fuck is this bitch?" Fez asks confused. Ash clocks a gun as Leon runs his fingers through his hair. Fez gets out of the car along with Leon.

"Yo!" Custer says to Fez and looks at Leon. "Aye wassup pretty boy! Long time-"

"Who the fuck is this, man?" Fez interrupted.

"Hi, im Faye." Faye waves. Leon nods at her as Custer walks towards them.

" what is she doing here?" Fez asks.

"Nah, nah, bro thats my fuckin girl...." Taking Them both aside Leon zones out as Custer talks. Lookin over at Faye. He thought she was pretty maybe not like Maddy but she was pretty.

Leon rarely ever talked about Maddy, we had seen her around but he would just over all make it seem like she wasn't there i knew he missed her though For a short time they were together she was kinda like his first love.

"...okay?"

"Whatever man lets just do this." Fez says. Leon walks away from them and looks at the apartments it looked familiar but not to where he could easily remember.

"Faye in the car." Custer instructs his girlfriend.

"Ten, 20 minutes tops all right? Yall just please stay in the car. No fuckin funny business. Lets go." Ashtray opens the door and Leon gets inside. Fez looks at him. "You not coming."

"Im just gonna stay with Rue." Leon says.

"Good idea she might need a babysitter." Ash mutters. Leon smiles at him before closing the door.

"Hi im Faye." She introduces herself to a very high Rue.

"Yo, fam, uh, Rue." Rue holds out her fist for Faye who fist bumps making Rue do a blowing up noise.

"Leon. Nice to meet you Faye." Leon gives her a quick smile before Rue talks again.

"Hows your new years going?"

"What?"

"New years."

"Its fucking new years?"

"I believe so."

"What?"

"New Year."

"I swear My boyfriend doesn't tell me anything."

"Don't worry Faye i had an Ex and I didn't tell her i was cheating on her and she got super pissed." Leon says Rue laughs loudly as Faye giggles and smiles widely at the high teen. Rue began to tell them what happened at the train station as Leon took a line of Coke.

"My girlfriend, at the fuckin train station, she left me straight up." Rue explains.

"She left you at a fucking train station?" Faye asks in disbelief.

"Yeah i was like crying-"

"What a fucking cunt." Leon says as Faye nods in a agreement.

"Yeah."

"Holy fucking shit."

"Yeah."

Leon turned to them and was about to say something before he saw Faye pull out a breath mint container containing heroin. Now he would have asked for some but...

2 years ago...

He downed the drink and it burned slightly. Suddenly the room became empty and everything just felt right in place. Leon got up and walked out of the room. He stumbled as he made it to the hallway filled with people smoking. He continued to walk till he found himself in the middle of the people dancing.

"Are you okay?" A random girl answers.

"I feel fuckin...." he couldn't finish his sentence before he fell to the floor. He was starting to choke on his vomit and his eyes rolled in the back of his head, he heard faint screams and shouting before he completely passed out.

In case you haven't figured it out Leon OD on a speedball.

Rue looked taken aback as she shakes her head nervously. "Um..I don't think- I wouldn't do that here." Rue mutters. Leon sits quietly trying his best not to tell Rue to be quite and ask Faye to shoot up together.

"Its just heroin." Faye says.

"No, i , i see that by maybe like I don't. I just feel like it isn't...the best place to do that... i just feel like this is really not the right time to be doing that. Leon help me out." Rue taps him on the shoulder.

"Faye look Rue-" he tries before Faye interrupted him.

"Listen i fucking know who you are. you're just fucking junkie ass bitch and you're probably eating that gingers ass for fucking oxy's or whatever the you're into. Fuckin junkie ass bitch fuckin hoe ass-"

"Look you lip filler porn star bitch, Fez let you in the car i don't give a shit what your broken ass nose boyfriend thinks i will not hesitate to kick you out of the car. So please close your legs and stop making her uncomfortable." Leon snaps glaring at Faye who looks at him surprised.

"I don't know if i should be turned on or offended right now." Faye mumbles looking at Rue. She pulls her leg up.

"What the fuck you just putting it in there? What are you doing? Oh my god... jesus thats your whole fucking crotch. That looks like it hurt ow."

"Lady im not gonna ask again close your Fuckin Legs!" Leon yells before his mouth is covered.

*-*-*-*-*

Getting slammed into the wall next to Rue he groans. Ok now that fuckin hurt. The weird thing was that he began to feel funny and everything around this situation wasn't.

"Who the fuck are you!" A random guys yells at Leon who suppress a smile,

"Mitch dont fuckin hesitate." He slams Custer to the wall. "You come to my motherfuckin house with a fuckin 12 year old, two junkie whores and 2 motherfuckers i don't know. You out of your fuckin mind?" Slamming him one last time Custer grabs his nose in pain.

"Fuck!"

"Im on fuckin probation."

"Me too."

"We are not involved with any illegal activity. We don't associate with anybody involved in illegal activity. And Laurie over there? Laurie don't deserve this shit." The guys says. Leon looked at him closely and felt a sense of seeing him before.

"Brucy." Laurie signals the guy who walks towards him. The moments of silence make Leon feel the need to make a joke but looking at everyone else he knew it was best not to share. Brucy walks back and turns on some music as he begins to dance.

"All right check this out. All yall lets get naked right fuckin now. Come on man lets go. Get naked right fuckin now." Brucy demands looking at them. Leon stands still loking down not gonna make an attempt of taking off his clothes. "Lets go come on."

"You heard what the fuck he said come on." The other guy says.

"Come on lets go, everybody lets go. Undress." He looks at Ashtray. "Except for you. You keep your shit on man. Nobody wants to see you naked, B.J take his ass down put 'em in a fuckin closet." He says B.J practically drags ash and Leon began to Zone out.

Till he saw Custer get his head rammed into the wall again. "Everyone lets get naked. Come on man lets go. Come on man hurry!" He dances for a second before getting closer to Leon.

"Get naked now!"

Leon eyes came to the realization when he saw the penis tattoo on the man. It took him everything not to laugh. 'Dont Do this Leon you might die' he looks down and feels a stare he looks up at Rue practically looked terrified. He breathes softly making Rue do the same. The reason the dude didn't recognize either of the teens was because he was heavy intoxicated and he didn't see them in the face.

"Did you hear me you scrawny pretty boy get. Naked. Now." The man was in his face making Leon bite his lip hard.

"Can i be Honest?"

"What!"

"Its kinda hard to take you seriously when you have a dick on your face." Leon says.

"Leon shut the fuck up!" Fez yells as him with a harsh glare.

Leon looks at the man and sees that he might have triggered him. The man yanks Leon by his forearm making his needle marks hurt so he slightly winches. The stranger still yanks him and brings him to the bathroom. "Get naked."

"Im not gonna get-"

"You better fucking get naked or im gonna put a bullet through your skull!" He interrupted Leon raising the gun to Leon. The teen sighs calmly before he lifts up his shirt not taking it off revealing nothing. He puts his shirt down and puts down his pants halfway showing he doesn't have a wire there either.

"You wanna see the rest your gonna have to take me out first." Leon says.
The stranger in return yanks him by the arm and leads him back to the others he puts him nears Rue roughly. "If your not gay just say that." He mumbles but everyone heard him.

"Leon im not playing shut the fuck up." Fez warns. Rue nods still in worry as Leon stands straight.

To be honest I don't know whether I should have laughed or hit him. I mean Leon was really fuckin high so I couldn't really blame him i mean if i was drunk i would have cracked a joke or two.

But Bruce saw that neither did Rue get naked so he also dragged her to the bathroom. "Aye dont do that shit!" Leon yells.

"Im sorry who the fuck you think your talking to son!" Bruce yells letting go of Rue for a second.

"You Brucy! she's a fuckin kid don't tell her to get naked." Leon states calmly. Bruce death glared at him and when Laurie shook her head he grabbed Rue and pushed her roughly at Leon who easily caught her. Patting her down in a way she didn't get uncomfortable. "See no wire dumbass." He mumbles.

I was just happy I didn't have to get naked.

"So now what?" Laurie speaks looking at Leon for a bit. Seeing how caring he was for Rue.

"Hey Laurie it's really good to see you again um... i wanted to introduce you some super dope friends of mine my boys, Fez and Leon, They're like, They're fire." Custer says standing buttass naked not covering at all. Along with Faye good thing Fez had some fucking manners as Rue and Leon stood fully clothed arms linked.

"Where's mouse?" Laurie asked.

"Um..-"

"You think i could put my drawers on and talk to you in the other room for a sec with Fez?" Leon speaks up.

"Okay." Laurie shrugs.

"Mouse ain't gonna be comin around no more." Fez says.

"Whys that?"

"Cause we didn't like the way he did business." Leon answers looking at Rue.

"Says the guys who brings a kid to a drug deal."

"Thats not a kid. Thats my business partner."

"Says the guy who brings a high school girl to a drug deal."

"Thats my family." Leon responds this time firmly.

"She an addict?"

"She might fuck around but nah." Leon shakes his head.

"So you both trust her?" Laurie looks between both guys.

"With our lives." Fez answers for both of them. Both stand up and Leon returns to Rue's side.

"Sorry about all the hubbub guys. Just being careful. So you all ready to do some business?" Laurie asks.

First Fez did business and when he finished Laurie asked for some time with Leon so the rest sat in the living room. "So your a dealer?"

"Yeah started a while ago but have enough experience i guess i sell bottle and stuff." Leon says taking out some money.

"So that high schooler your girlfriend?" Laurie asks.

"No but if someone fucks around with her i just wont watch, she more then my friend and i love her just not romantically."

"I saw you wouldn't let Brucy touch her."

"She was scared gun point or not im making sure she doesn't get hurt."

*-*-*-*-*-*

" that was hon- honestly that was the craziest shit I've ever experienced. What was- the fucking dude with the long hair and the fuckin gun? What was his deal?  That was a fuckin look, wasn't it? Geez oh my god, and when, when he took fucking yanked Leon to the back after that dick joke i was pissing myself i was like he might die." Rue mumbles. Leon barley listened as he was making fuck me eyes at the drugs Laurie supplied him with. "Ah fuck, and that lady, let me just say she's a fucking gangster. She's a fucking gangster. They all work for her."

"Why you acting like that shit was fun Rue? For real you pissin me off. Acting dumb ass fuck right now! Goddamn all smilin and laughin and shit. You know half of that shit was your fault too. Fucking around actin stupid." Fez yells he glances through the window to Leon. "And you Leon you stupid or something these guys aren't people you play with it wasn't difficult to get naked. Yet here yo dumbass cracking jokes acting like its a comedy show of whatever the fuck it is! Bro deadass why didn't you shut the fuck up?"

"What did i do?" Leon calmly asks not really giving a fuck. "I get now im 18 but damn im not into men and he dead ass probably wanted to suck me o-"

"Shut the fuck up Leon!" Fez yells. Rue and Leon burst out laughing.

"Im sorry, im j- im just saying serious question. How many female drug dealers do you know?" Rue asks.

"Good ones?" Fez asks.

"Yes."

"One."

"Case in point. I know what the fuck im saying shits gotta change."

*-*-*-*-*

"Where is the bathroom?" Leon eyes widen as he hears her voice near by. Quickly grabbing a bottle and seeing Jules.

"Hey Le-"

He ignores her and walks quickly and sees Rue hiding as well. Taking a sip he looks around and sighs before he sits on the couch.

"Leo why aint you fuckin bitches?" Fez asks grabbing the bottle from Leon and setting it on the table near by.

"Im not in the mood." Leon replies ignoring the question he didn't even hear.

Rue quickly pulls Leon on his feet and drags him leaving Fez alone.

"I need to get away from her lets go to the car." Rue says yanking him outside. They walk past the people and get in the car.

"Fuck" Leon mumbles under his breath. He looked at the floor and say the Mint box Faye had left. He picks it up it had been almost an hour since he snorted a line.

"What are looking at?" Rue puts own her phone. She sees him holding the Herion. "You sure?"

"Its fine im not 15 anymore." Leon pulls up his sleeve to his elbow joint.

"What do you..." the realization hit Rue and realize now she knew part of what made him overdose. "Could i..."

"No needle though."

"Thats fine."  Rue snorts a bit of the herion and watches Leon shoot up. With worrying eyes. Please dont OD she thinks over and over. When he finished they got out of the car and walked back inside. Leon looks around till he makes eye contact with Nate fucking Jacobs.

Flipping him off with a smirk he walks in front of Rue so they could block the party out. They walk downstairs into this hall and see if they could open the doors till Rue opens the one in the back. The high teens come face to a another person snorting something.

"Oh shit sorry." Rue closes the door. Leon looks at her and opens the door again.
"What were you snorting?"

" I wasn't. I wasn't snorting anything"

" yeah, you were

"No... Fixing this washing machine, actually. I work for uh..whirlpool. Yeah. You see it? Its all messed up im just-" he stops talking and looks at them.

Leon looks at the guy and looks at Rue. "If you tell us what drugs your doing we'll tell what drugs we're doing?" He offers as Rue puts a thumbs up.

"Yeah okay, deal." The stranger agrees.

"Tight." Rue says Leon closes the door and pulls out some drugs not bought from Laurie .

"I have 2 blunts and some Oxy's."

"Give me a couple Oxy's." Elliot says. Leon and Rue snort a line as Elliot takes the Oxy's.
"Im Elliot."

"Leon."

"Rue."

Rue snorts another line and takes a deep breath and stumbles falling on the floor.

"Ahh fuck." She mumbles.

"You alright?" Elliot asks.

"You good Rue?" Leon asks semi worried.

"Lee i need a big favor. I think imma need you to cheek my pulse." Rue mutters.

"Are you...are You for real?" Elliot asks.

Pulling out his phone Leon puts the stop watch and looks at Elliot. "Start it 3. 2. 1." Putting two of his finger on Rue's neck and feeling her almost faint pulse. "Damn im way to high for this shit."

"Oh, I think I might be going into cardiac arrest." Rue says

"are you fucking serious, do you want me to call an ambulance?" Elliot asked worried.

"No, no i just- uh, just , adderall. Just crush up the adderall. Here." Leon hands Elliot the Adderall he had in his pocket.

"Didn't we take the same amount of drugs?" Elliot asks. Crushing up the pills.

"Nope." Rue and Leon say. Putting up the phone to Rue's nose she snorts the drug and sighs leaning her head on the wall. She smiles faintly. "There it is, oh theres my heart. Hello heart...thought i lost ya." She chuckles. Leon smiles and looks at Elliot who sighs.

"Im not sure its a good thing we met." Elliot says looking between the two teens.

"What are you talking about, we're practically besties." Rue jokes hold her hand as a high five. Elliot laughs as leon snorts.

"Ah shit, oh thought i was gonna die there for a second there." She laughs. " could you imagine just me dying? Oh man!" They high five. "Thanks Lee i owe you."

"Wanna smoke a blunt?" Leon asks.

"Fuck yeah." Elliot says. They help Rue up and make their way outside.

*-*-*-*-*

"Leon"

"Leon."

Leon finally looks up to see Maddy. He had a blunt in his mouth Rue and Elliot looked at him as he hits a ghost almost ignoring her presence.

"Can we talk?" She asks rubbing her shoulders. Leon hands the blunt to Elliot and gets up.

"I'll be back." He says to Them.

"Okay I'll be here." Rue responds.

He walks further into the yard he finds two free seats. He pulls out another blunt Maddy slightly looked worried but tried to not say much. He sits down and looks at Rue and Elliot. "So? You gonna talk?"

Maddy looks at him before looking down. "How've been?"

"Great I guess."

"Thats good what have you been up to?"

"Hanging around."

Maddy sees him taking another hit and bites her lip.

"So um when did you relapse?" She asks avoiding his direction.

"Its just weed Maddy." Leon replies.

"Im serious Le- Leon when did you relapse?" She looks at him with sympathetic eyes making him a little angry.

"2 weeks ago." Leon says getting up and walking away from Maddy. She sits up quickly and walks after him.

"Leon im sorry for everything, for being a cunt, for cheating, for taking molly and drinking im sorry for pushing you away...I really love you and if you give me a chance I'll prove that I wanna be with you." Maddy confesses. Leon stops in his tracks and turns to Maddy he walks up to her and smiles at her softly he kisses her head and walks away.

Elliot gets up when Jules wants to talk with Rue. He sees Leon and walks up to him. "Rue's kinda busy. Wanna get drunk?"

"Fuck yeah." Leon smirks Elliot chuckles before they make their way to the kitchen.

*-*-*-*-*

"Ah! Fuck! Time out!" Elliot yells as he stops chugging the liquor bottle. Leon sticks out his middle finger and continues to drink the Alcohol. Almost finishing the bottle. To prevent him from overdosing he puts the bottle down as people cheer him on. Elliot pats his back handing him 50 dollars. "Good game man."

"Thanks. You'll get it next time buddy." Leon taunts making Elliot roll him eyes. They began to feel completely wasted. "Shit you feeling it?" Elliot asks laughing.

"Yeah fuck I haven't been drunk in a minute." Leon laughs.

"When was the last time you drank?"

"Like 3 days ago." Elliot laughs loudly patting Leon's shoulder. Before he could say anything.

"Everyone, Everyone! One minute till fuckin New Years!" They both cheer along with the another teenagers. They did one more shot.

"Fuck if i do one more i might black out!" Elliot yells.

"Same but-" before he could finish they were interrupted by a alcohol glass shattering. They turn and see Fez beating the shit out of Nate. Leon Laughs. "Happy New Years MotherFuckers!"

"Leon Not a Good time!" Maddy yells trying not to smile. Leon looks at Rue.

"Damn." They say at the same time.
