Mias POV:
I woke up alone again, with a note left by my bed.

Don't follow me, don't even attempt to find me, I will be back later. Listen to me for once, remember what happened last time. Just stay here
I love you
Rafe

I put the note back onto the bed and opened my phone, tracking where he was. The airstrip. I was confused and had no idea why he was there but I was going to have to wait until he got home. I got dressed and told Rose I was going out to see JJ. She was really suspicious of me but she knew I had no clue where Rafe was. When I got to John's house, Kie was crying, and everyone was panicking.
'Ok what's going on?' I asked.
'Rafe shot Peterkin.' Sarah sobbed.  I sat down next to JJ and he passed me a blunt, I took it without another word and began to smoke, as I listened to what everyone had to say.
'Stop lying.' I said, after a moment of trying to collect myself.
'Mia, I'd not lie to you.' John said desperately.
I didn't reply.
'My father was trying to take me away from John and put me on his airplane, and Peterkin came to arrest him, and Rafe shot her.' Sarah blurted.
I finished one blunt and asked JJ to roll me another one.
'Are you sure? It's strong stuff.' He asked.
'Yeah I need it.' I said slowly.
'So where is he now?'
'What makes you think we give a shit about where he is now?' Pope asked. I shot my eyes to him quickly and he looked away. 
'What're you gonna do?' I questioned.
'They think it was me, I need to go.' John said.
'John B please don't.' I begged. His eyes were full of hurt and so were mine.
'Look I know we've not always been on the best of terms, but we've been through it all, and I love you and I'll miss you.' He said, walking towards me.
'Don't say you'll miss me, you're not going anywhere.' I said, raising my voice.
'Look we need to go or you'll miss the boat.' JJ said, signalling towards the car.
He hugged me one last time and got in, without another word.
'I'll be back for you in 10 minutes okay don't do anything stupid.' JJ said, kissing my head softly and driving away, taking Sarah and John with him.
I continued to smoke, and drink, not knowing how else to rid myself of the confusion. When JJ was back, I was a complete mess. I had taken some more weed and put it in my pocket, just in case I needed it.
'I really don't want to say this but the one you need to talk to is Rafe.' He whispered.
'I don't want to go back to him if he's a murderer.' I said through gritted teeth.
'I'll be outside waiting for you, after 20 minutes if I get no text I'll come in and get you okay?' He asked, helping me into the car. I nodded, and held my breath as I walked into Rafe's house.

Downstairs was completely empty but I could hear footsteps upstairs. I swung the door to Rafe's room open and there he was, pacing his room. He looked at me and his face lit up.
'Where did you go I was so worried.' He said, rushing towards me.
'Don't touch me Rafe Cameron.' I warned, holding out my hand.
'Mia, you stink of weed, and alcohol, where have you been?' He asked, panicking.
'Oh just having a nice chat with Sarah.' I said bluntly.
'Look you need to listen to me.' He begged.
'You killed sherif Peterkin!' I shouted.
He sat down on the bed and began to cry, pulling at his hair.
'Cry as much as you want Rafe you're not getting sympathy from me.' I said, throwing the other bags of weed onto my side of the bed. He looked up at me in disgust.
'Okay that's my hint, I'll see you, hm, I don't know if I'll see you actually.' I said, wrapping my hand around the door handle.
'Mia.' He warned. I stood still.
'Do not open the door, or we'll both end up doing something we regret.' Rafe said protectively.
'What're you gonna do? Shoot me?' I shouted.
'Please listen to me.' He begged, stepping closer and wrapping his hand around my neck, but softly.
'I thought you'd changed, I thought you were done with this.' I said, pushing him away. He kept his grip, forcing me to look at him.
'She was going to kill my father.' He whispered.
'No, she was going to arrest him.' I spat.
'I just wanted to do the right thing!' He protested.
'Well guess what, you didn't.' I laughed. I opened the door and took a few steps from him.
'I'm scared of you Rafe Cameron, and I don't know if I can be around you anymore.' I said, taking off my engagement ring and throwing it at his feet.
'You don't mean that, put it back on.' He ordered.
'I'm sorry.' I whispered, running from the house. He chased after me, grabbing me and stopping me from leaving. I screamed and JJ jumped from his van, rushing to come and help me.
'You love me.' He spat.
'I know, I really love you, but I can't be around you when you're like this.' I sobbed, finally, allowing him to hug me. I collapsed into his arms and I felt him breathe calmly, knowing he still somewhat had me.
'Please don't leave me.' He said, in a breathy whisper.
'I don't know If I can do this.' I said, completely torn.
'No one will ever give you what I give you princess.' He begged.
I looked to JJ and he nodded, getting back into his van and rolling up the windows.

'I'm fucking terrified of you Rafe.' I said once more.
'I know, and I'm so sorry, but have I ever laid a finger on you?' He asked.
'Well you did strangle me upstairs but not the point.' I said bitterly.
'I'm trying for you, and I know it doesn't look like much, but I used to be so much worse.' He begged.
'I can't promise you it'll be perfect but I can promise you I'll try.' He said, taking my hands.
'What am I meant to do? My friends want to turn you in, rightfully so, but you're my boyfriend.' I sighed.
'Fiancé.' He said, changing my words.
'We can figure it out, please?' He begged. I walked towards JJ's van and I saw Rafe's heart drop.
'Not tonight Rafe I'm sorry.' I whispered, getting in the passenger side. Tears began to quickly fall from his eyes, and he grabbed my hand through the window.
'Please, don't go.' He begged. JJ started the engine and Looked to me. Rafe let go of me and ran back to the front of his house, sitting down and sobbing into his own arms.  I grabbed JJ's hand and told him to stop the car.
'I can't leave him J I'm sorry.' I whispered.
'Ring me if you have any problems okay?' He begged. I nodded and hugged him, as he kissed me on the head. I got out of the van and walked to Rafe, who was now sat on the doorstep.
'I'm not here for you ok I'm here for Wheezie.' I lied.
He took my hand and pulled me ontop of him, kissing me harshly. And I remembered why I was in love with him.
