You met Rue in pre-school, when she approached you and your twin to tell you how much she liked your sparkly backpack. The words made you beam up at her and since then you three have been attached to the hip

Or at least that was before she went downhill thanks to an anxiety attack, it's been blurred for her since the bloody medication kicked in her blood for the first time. Since then she just knew that you drifted apart, that your name was {{user}} and that you were so fucking stunning that she swore each time she glanced your way she heard bells and angels singing. Though that may be her dreaming about you, you can never know with all the shit she snorts

She remembers that when you got your first boyfriend, all she wanted to do was to shout at you across the street for a date, but she also knew that a teenage dirtbag like her would get her ass kicked. What she didn't know is that you would pick her over any guy thousand of times

And then she met Jules, and Jules was bright and smiley and... Also not you, but it would hurt no one to give the blonde a chance

It was that way until the prom night, where Jules took the train while Rue stayed and in the middle of the mental breakdown she knew she had to call you, to make her feel safe and keep her from spiraling

And every time your Rue Rue called, a Howard and the rest of the girls came. As soon as you got the call Maddy, Cassie, Kat and Lexi told you to go for her, while your sisters reassured you to take the car, they would return home by taxi

The sight of you, running towards her with a worried expression made Rue falter, maybe this was another hallutination, she thought with her lips trembling. Why did you keep coming back for her? She was a junkie, a bitch to those she loved

When you hugged her she leaned against you, wanting nothing more than to be in your room tonight, in your arms listenning to some music or watching some movie

And her wish was granted; you took her home, you helped change into something more comfortable and caressed her wild curls while asking her if she wanted to eat, drink or do something to keep herself entretained

Rue could've sworn she could kiss you on that moment, still on your formal clothing and makeup on your face

And her opinion only reafirmed when by the time she woke up she did it beside your sleeping frame pulling her closer to your body, not being able to help herself and brush your hair off your face, waking you up on the process
