Sapphires P.O.V

"SAPH I'M HOME″ My eyes shot open and Rafael's hand froze. My dad's voice echoed through the house as he called me, I could hear him taking off his shoes. I started to panic and shove Rafael off me.

"Get off, my dad is gonna kill us" He laughed as he moved even closer.

"I think I prefer staying like this" He held me even tighter and I felt myself go lightheaded from the panic.

"Get off me, I'm serious, he's gonna flip if he sees you" My voice was laced with desperation as I wiggled under him.

He laughed as he got up. I could hear my dad coming up the stairs.

"Saph are you awake" I looked at Rafael trying to think of where to hide him.

"You need to hide!" I yelled quietly and he looked as if this was a normal thing for him.

"Get in my wardrobe!" I grabbed his hand and opened the door.

"I am not going to fit in that" He was acting as if my dad wouldn't rip his head off.

"I couldn't care less" I started to shove him as my dad's footsteps became louder. I pushed him in as quick as I could in a panic and he fell flat on his face. I grabbed his legs and threw them on the side and threw all my clothes on him.

His eyes were wide and his mouth was slightly open, making him look traumatised.

"I can't breathe"

"Tough" Rafael's horrified face was the last thing I saw before throwing a bunch of tops on his face and slamming the door shut.

"Morning sweetheart" I turned around feeling breathless as my dad opened the door.

"Morning dad" I tried to keep my voice normal but it was hard to do as my heart was beating out of my chest.

"Why do you look so flustered?" He looked at me with his eyebrow raised.

"Did you have a boy in here?" I felt my heart drop and pretty sure I peed a little out of fear.

"I-uh"

He burst out laughing and I joined in nervously.

"You and a boy, what was I thinking making such a lame joke"

"Ha ha ha, oh you, cracking these funny jokes" My tongue felt dry as I spoke to him.

"Oh my little antisocial rat" I looked at my dad feeling offended at his remark but then again he treated me more like a friend than a child.

"Anyways I'm gonna have a shower you get yourself sorted and I'll drop you to school"

"Uh, I'm gonna go walking with Aiden" Aiden was not going to walk with me, I needed a moment alone to gather my thoughts after this morning's chaotic events.

"Ok, make sure you eat something before you go"

"Will do"

"Love you" He kissed my head before heading out

"Love you too dad" I quickly shut the door and locked it.

I went to my wardrobe and opened the door. I looked to see Rafael laying uncomfortably WITH MY UNDERWEAR ON HIS HEAD.

His legs were at a weird angle in my wardrobe, they were up against the other side of the wardrobe. He looked absolutely horrified as if just went through something traumatic.
