Bound To You- [R.C]

✧*̥˚Chapter 37*̥˚✧

Part 3, during season 2 *̥˚✧

SCRAMBLING OUT OF BED I pull on one of Rafe's t-shirt's and run downstairs to see what all the shouting is about.
"We know what you did!" Kie screams at me as I walk out onto the front porch where Rafe is standing.
"MURDERES!" She screams as Pope tries to pull her away.
I wrap my arms around Rafe's waist resting my head on his back.

"I can't believe they think you had anything to do with this." He says to me.
"You couldn't even hurt a fly." He laughs.
"Oh you really think that?" I challenge him punching his back. He turns around and scoops me up, running across the lawn.
"Put me down!!" I squeal.
"No I don't think I will, princess" He smirks turning me round so I'm facing him. I wrap my legs around his waist staring into his eyes, My head feeling like it's going to explode from the dizziness.

Things still aren't back to normal between the two of us after the Peterkin incident. I'm not disregarding that fact that he has killed somebody. It hurts me to even think about it. But Rafe is all I have right now, I can't lose him along with my mum, dad and the only friendship group I ever had.

I'm walking back into the kitchen with Rafe to make breakfast while Ward talks to police outside about the graffiti from Kie.

Ward killed John B's dad and he hasn't gone to prison for it, it doesn't sit right with me at all but Rafe looks up to that man for whatever reason so I have to keep my mouth shut.
Besides, I wouldn't have anywhere to stay if Ward hadn't kindly offered to allow me into his family after my mum ruined what was left of ours, along with the family home that she stopped paying for.

I jump up sliding onto the kitchen counter as
Rafe pours some cereal for us.
He seems awfully quiet. Although things can be icy between us sometimes, it's usually me being the reserved one.
"What's wrong?" I ask him.
"Nothing." He answers me bluntly.
"You're an awful liar." I smile, grabbing one of his hands.
"Honestly?" He whispers.
I nod my head.
"I'm scared you're gonna leave me" He says wrapping his arms around my waist.
I place my hands onto his face, stroking his cheek as his broken eyes stare into mine.
"Rafe, I'm here forever. Please never feel like that" I say pulling him in for a hug.
"I'm sorry, it's just that you're all I have now and I never ever want to lose you" He whispers into my ear.
"You're all I have too, Rafe." I whisper back lifting his head up so I can kiss him hoping it'll help melt his worries away like it does mine.

We break away, smiling at eachother. He grabs the spoon from the cereal bowl next to me, feeding it to me while trying not to spill any as we both laugh our heads off.

We decide to spend the night in, making our favourite meal and watching our favourite movie.
"Do you ever regret being with me?" Rafe randomly asks me mid way through the movie.
I grab the remote and pause the tv.
"Why an earth would you ask me that?" I say, wondering where this came from.
"Well. I mean, before we got together you had a family and a great group of friends and a place to stay. And now I've ruined all of that." He says, avoiding eye contact with me.
"I have no idea why you would think that any of that is your fault? I love you Rafe, I would pick you over any of those things over and over again." I snap at him.
"Don't you miss your friends? Sarah would still be alive if it wasn't for me." He whispers.
"Of course I miss my friends Rafe." I say, placing my head onto his chest. Talking about JJ always puts me in a bad mood.
"Sarah dying is not your fault, I don't wanna talk about this anymore. Please stop doubting me." I say, pressing play on the remote to let Rafe know I'm done with this conversation.
