"T-they're just Xanax, I promise!" Emma said, shrinking back again as Le growled at her. She chewed at her lip, thinking back to make sure that it actually was Xanax they had taken and not something else. "W-we don't do it very often, I swear! Especially not Ru, she's really careful and stuff. I-I'm always really careful what I give Ruby, she..she's special. I don't want to ruin anything for her."
Emma frowned as Leland started in on her drug dealing. She knew that it put Ruby at risk, and it made her feel bad anytime she thought about it a little too hard. She hadn't thought being an errand girl for Tatum would really lead to anyone getting hurt. Emma could see why Le was worried now, and she furrowed her brow, wringing her hands. "I'd never let Ruby get hurt...you have to believe me Le. I love her more than anything! I always have, ever since I first saw her. She's my everything, I'd protect her with my life."
"Thanks, I will." She wrapped her arms around herself, shuddering at the thought of Ruby ever getting hurt. "I'm trying really hard not to fuck up Le. I-I'm terrified of fucking up."
