i couldn't stop thinking about my encounter with Rafe this afternoon. Soon after that he left the house, with that other girl. I wanted him to come back but I didn't even have his number. I text Hazel to tell her i was on my way.

we always hung out at my place usually with my brothers friends cause they also always hung out there. but when we got there today they were gone on some stupid treasure hunt for gold.

"So you kissed Miles last night" i knew she was gonna bring this up. "I was drunk" "and trying to make Rafe jealous?" when the car stopped in the driveway i looked over at her "i was drunk" i repeated. "how you gonna explain that to Miles, you know he's been secretly in love with you since we were like 10." i didn't answer her.
"it's okay to admit you like him Kaia" she said running after me. "I don't like Miles"
"i'm talking about Rafe Kai."
"I don't know how i feel about Rafe. one second i hate his guts the next he's pushing me against a fridge and looking all hot and shit" shit. i just said that out loud.
"he what?" she asked. i couldn't read the expression on her face.

Before I said anything else Oliver, Leo and Miles walked onto the porch. they noticed Hazels expression and look at me. "what's going on" Ollie questioned. "nothing, so what are we doing today" i responded. I could feel Miles' gaze on me but i avoided looking at him.

We took Oliver's dad's boat and took it down the marsh. Smoking joints and enjoying the sun. Miles sat beside me but i still avoided eye contact. "Kai?" i looked at him. "can we talk about last night?" i didn't know what to say to him or how to tell him i had feelings for the guy who left bruises all over his face. "um sure"
" I just want you to know if it meant anything or if you did it because you were drunk or i don't know maybe you feel something for me?" oh god. i feel so bad. "Look Miles.. i love you as a best friend. i just think i drank too much last night and i kind of have feelings for someone else" his face dropped and i could tell he was hurt. "oh okay well thanks for being honest" he got up and went inside the boat.

Hazel was looking at me, i could see her from the corner of my eye. i knew she'd much rather see me with Miles than with Rafe. she hated Rafe. but then again i hated Rafe a week ago too.

Maybe it was time i accepted my feelings for Rafe.
