disease- Rafe Cameron

what happened, rafe? - chap 9

'Hey!' Y/N hugged Sarah as she met her outside of her house.

'I'm supposed to meet John B and his friends now because of the treasure hunt. We found a map to it.' That's what she was doing with John B this whole time.

'What?' She asked, narrowing her eyes, lifting an eyebrow.

'I can't go alone.' She admitted.

'Sarah, no.' She groaned, making refusing gestures with her palms. 'I don't wanna get in the middle of it.'

'Please.' She caught Y/N's wrists, begging her with a that voice of hers she did when she wanted something. She hated when Sarah did that but she couldn't refuse her.

'We've been waiting for you.' Jj approached them, wrapping arms about Y/N's shoulders.

'Hey.' Everybody was hanging by the little house in the marsh including Kiara who seemed to be displeased by seeing Sarah. John B pecked Sarah on the lips and stood next to her.

'Didn't expect to see you.' Pope grinned at Y/N, nervously rubbing his hands together.

'Sarah asked me to come, so..' she shrugged her arms, giving him an awkward smile.

'So what now, John B? Are we gonna be pals again?' Kiara asked, irritated.

'Before you say anything, we wouldn't have the map without her.' John B tried to calm her down, unsuccessfully.
'Kie, you'll always be my best friend but Sarah's my girlfriend now.' He answered, gazing at Sarah. They were actually cute, Y/N thought.

'That's new.' Pope mumbled to Jj.

'Your girlfriend, now? Weren't you just using her for information?' She scoffed.

'You said that?' Y/N's eyes widened.

'No.'

'Yes, you did.' Pope confirmed it, shaking his head. Sarah sat back in the sofa, opening her mouth in shock.

'That's it. It's me or her.' Kiara wrapped arms around her chest, lifting both of her eyebrows.

'Both.' John B argued, making Kiara ironically laugh.

'I'm out of here.' She said, turning around. Pope jumped up right after her.

'Sarah, I think we should leave.' Y/N sighed, glancing at her her friend.

'I was thinking the same.' She chewed on her mouth, standing up.

'Come on, don't.' John B insisted.

'Good talk.' She said, ironically. 'Call me when you're ready to be honest.'

'It was nice to see you, guys.' Y/N said, directly to Jj. They were walking on the road, she was annoyed because of how it turned out.

'I can't believe this.' Sarah complained, covering face with her hands. 'I was so stupid.'

'You're not stupid.' Y/N clasped her shoulder, pulling her closer.

'I gave him the map.' She shut her eyes, squinting them in frustration.

'He's not a bad guy, Sarah. I'm sure yall will figure it out.' She winked at her. 'He didn't mean to lie to you, He was just scared of Kiara's reaction.'

'Yeah, I guess.' Sarah said as she looked down. 'Topper made a scene this morning. My dad almost killed him.'

'You're joking!' She choked, pausing for a second. Ward loved Topper as if he was his own family so he must have been a terrible scene.

'Yeah, it got ugly.' Sarah bursted into laughing. 'Hey, um?' She fixed her eyes at Y/N.

'Huh?'

'Topper said something about you and Rafe.' Y/N panicked, her face going white as she swallowed.
'Is there something going on between you and my brother?'

'Sarah, I-' She stuttered, having no response.

'Oh my god, he wasn't lying?!' Sarah raised her voice,
'Why does everyone keep lying to me?'

'I wanted to tell you, I really did.' This was exactly how she didn't want her to find out. 'I'm sorry.'

'Yeah, I don't believe you, Y/N.' She shook her head as she gritted her teeth. 'I think you should go, Y/N.'

'Sarah, wait.' Sarah ignored her.

Y/N returned home, exhausted. She wasn't going to work the next so she watched movies with Genevieve as there dad prepared dinner.

'I'm going to sleep, girls.' Her dad walked upstairs as Y/N checked the time. Genevieve fell asleep next to her and Y/N decided not to wake her.

She layed on the couch, texting on her phone as she heard a voice behind the door. She frowned, jumping on her feet, making quiet steps towards the door.
She opened them, finding Rafe standing there, his eyes red from crying.

'What happened, Rafe?' She asked, grabbing his arm as she stared at the wound that looked as if it's been burned.

'I uh- I got into a fight with my dad and I can't come home now and-' Y/N cut him off by pulling him into a hug, caressing his head.

'It's okay, baby.' She pecked him on the cheek, softly. Y/N took him into her room, unsure of what excuse she'll make up if her dad finds out.

'I'll go to Topper's next morning, okay?' He breathed shakily as they sat on the bed. Y/N has never seen him this stressed, she wasn't sure how to act.
They jumped in her bed, his eyes still watery.

'It's fine.' She said as Rafe pulled her into his arms, burrying Y/N's head into his chest. Rafe's grip made her feel secure as she started falling asleep, smelling his scent with her nose pressed against him.
