Bound To You- [R.C]

✧*̥˚Chapter 32*̥˚✧

WE SIT AROUND THE BONFIRE chatting about the royal merchant, me not understanding a lot of what's going on. I pull out my phone and see 16 missed calls from Rafe along with 8 messages which read,
'Eve I'm sorry'
'Please come back'
'Eve please just come back we can talk about this'
'Please don't leave me'
I put my phone down knowing that that last message hit me where it hurts and let the gang know that I'm gonna call it a night.
"But did you not just hear about what I said?"
John B looks puzzled.
"Yes I did. but it's been a long night and I don't really have a clue what you are talking about so goodnight. " I say before hugging them all and making my way back to my house.

As soon as I get home I get changed out of my dress and into one of Rafe's sweaters that I stole from him. I take off my makeup before slipping into bed. As I'm drifting off to sleep I hear banging on the door.
"EVE!" A voice shouts.
I crawl out of bed, turning the light on and stagger downstairs. Not again.
"EVE!" I hear the voice shout again.
"Fucking hell I'm coming." I shout back as I reach the bottom of the stairs.
I open the door wiping my eyes to see Rafe pacing back and forwards.
"Go home Rafe." I say going to close the door, before I can he puts his foot in the way and moves it back open.
"No Eve, I can't do that." He whispers struggling to catch his breath. His voice sounds panicky as he paces up and down his hands shaking.
"Hey, hey." I say grabbing his hands to stop them from shaking. I lead him into the living room and we sit down on the cold leather sofa.
I look into his eyes and see that they're dilated which must mean he's high from coke again. I try to stay calm, the only reason he would've done it is because of me. It would be damn right stupid to get angry at him for something I caused.

I pull him in close letting him rest his head on my chest as he hyperventilates.
I stroke his cheek with my thumb, my heart thumping hard in my chest as I try to think of how I can help.
"Calm down, it's gonna be okay." I whisper into
his ear.

We stay like this for a while before Rafe's breathing goes back to normal. I head to the kitchen to make him a hot chocolate as he sits with his head in his hands.
I walk back through to the living room and hand him his hot chocolate.
"Thank you." He smiles at me.
"This doesn't make what you did okay" I say.
"Eve, I'm sorry but he was trespassing. And he was horrible to you. I wasn't actually going to hurt him. It was just a bit of a laugh." He starts to say.
"Did you see me laughing, Rafe?" I stare at
him.
"No, I know you didn't find it funny but-" He starts saying until I cut him off.
"No Rafe, you were being cruel. I don't see why you have such a hatred towards those guys. They're real people too you know? And I can fight my own battles with JJ, I know he didn't mean it." I shout at him.
"I'm sorry. It won't happen again. I lost my cool" He sighs.
"Sorry for flipping you off" I smile at him, taking a sip of my hot chocolate.
