so you get kicked out. NOW WHAT?

rue learns you can wear out your welcome all too easily. that there's a thin line between pity and rage and that like, she was like fucking herself over if for the only fact that she was still ACTIVELY using. which tends to be sort of a piss off when everyone around you sort of expected you to be saving up to move off of the couch and out of their living rooms which... tended to always slip her mind. which then started this like, really shitty cycle where rue learned just how quickly you could burn through every bridge you thought you had...

until yeah. fuck. you're left standing in a place you NEVER THOUGHT before, and like, rue's never like... stolen anything before. but she always was aware of the fact that she'd used whatever money she had left to buy pills the other day and now she's like, low key starving and pick pocketing feels so awkward but like whatever. she stuffs her pockets and makes her exit. for the first time, she wasn't the one left watching, passive from the back seat of a car ( she still thought about that night, how it'd felt like everything changed then, but really, it'd only been the start, hadn't it? ).

she doesn't remember when she met toni. but she did have her number in her phone, and, like that's one bridge to go. but maybe it's because she remembered her cracking a joke about letting her know when she was like, actually feeling desperate. and like, rue didn't get the same vibes from toni that she got from LAURIE, so like, that's a good thing, and.. she doesn't think she's gonna do anything weird, right? "can you meet me at like, conway and gerrard? i'm... yeah. i guess i don't really know where else to go."
