The only choice || Outer Banks/Rafe Cameron

Messed up stuff |chapter 13- Cassie

Morning follows as I open my eyes and turn to the left to see Rafe sleeping next to me. He looks so adorable in his sleep. I suddenly realise that I stayed at Rafe's house for the whole night. 

"Shit!" I say as I raise my head and look around. I'm so dead. My dad is going to kill me. That's for sure. I rub my eyes as I feel a hand dragging me back to bed. I lay back down looking at Rafe.

"Good morning sunshine.." he says in a morning voice as he leans for a kiss.

"How did I end up in your bed?" I ask him confusingly.

"You don't remember anything?" he smirks. "It's probably because of the drugs.."

"I do remember things Rafe.." I say as I look at him. "I just don't remember coming into your room.

"Well you fell asleep on my shoulder and it was getting pretty cold, so I took you to my room and put you to bed. End of story." he smirks as he rubs his eye.

"Thanks Rafe." I smile. My dad is gonna kill me anyways so nothing will happen if I spare a few minutes. We then snuggle for a bit and I get up.

"I should get going, my dad will be so mad at me." I say as I put on my shoes.

"Shit, I forgot about your dad... Should I come with you?"

"It will only make things worse, but thank you. I'll tell him I was at Kiara's."

"Call me if you need anything, okay?"

"Will do." I say as I quietly leave his room and get to my car. I turn on the car and rush back home. He usually leaves early so he's probably not home, right? Ugh this is too much stress for me. Shit. I pull over my house and get out of the car. I get my keys to unlock the door, but notice that its unlocked. Dang it, he's home. I enter home and immediately hear a noise from the kitchen. I walk towards the kitchen and see my dad cutting an apple. Here goes nothing...

"Hey dad." I say while scared shitless. He glances at me and his face turns bold. He doesn't look happy.

"Where were you last night?" he says in a bold voice, as he continues to cut the apple.

"I was a-at-"

"Don't stutter you little shit!" he says as he hits the table and I flinch back.

"I stayed over at Kiera's house dad." I say in a nervous voice.

"I don't remember letting you do that." he says in a pissed and a mad voice.

"Do you even care dad? Because I don't think you do. In fact I don't think you ever did." I raise my voice. "I don't even see you around. You're so busy with your fucking job that you forget that you have a daughter." I burst out as I tear up.

"Don't talk to me like that! Your life is miserable Cassie. You have to thank me. I'm the one who provides you with a house and with food. You're nothing without me." he shouts as he comes closer to me.

"My life is miserable dad? You're the one who injects different shit in him, not me!" I shout at him.

"OOH, you're so dead Cassie!" he says as he grabs me. I try to get his knife to protect myself but he turns my hand the other way and pushes it which ends with the knife cutting my hand really deep. I let out a scream and try to push him away but he is stronger.

"You deserve to die Cassie. You're the reason she left us!" he shouts as he pushes my head to the marble wall in the kitchen. I could hear the sound of my head slamming against the wall. I closed my eyes and felt this sudden tremble on my head. 

"Dad..." I say as I slowly touch the back of my head. It's bleeding. The back of my head is bleeding and the blood from my hand is dripping down the floor.

"Fuck..I'm so sorr-" he says as he realises what he had done. He looks at me shocked trying to get closer, but I just push him and run to my room. I quickly lock the door as I hear him come up the stairs. I feel so nauseous, what is happening to me.. I sit down, putting my hands on my ears and sobbing because I'm fucking scared.

"Open the door Cassie! I wanna help..I'm sorry it was just an accident." he says as he's trying to unlock the door. "I'll break the door if you don't open it, you hear me?" 

I panic as I see my hand bleeding really bad. It's a fucking deep cut. I try to apply the force of my hand to stop the bleeding, but it just burns so bad. I have no other choice but to jump out from my window. I'm so fucking scared right now. I grab a scarf and wrap it around the wounded part of my arm. I try opening the window but then realise that dad has it locked. I smash it with my chair and jump out of it. I fall on grass but it still hurts. Shit. I think I fucking sprinkled my leg. After quickly getting up I start walking lame, towards the street and away from home. I want to take my car but then I remember that I forgot to get my keys. As I slowly get away from home, I hear a loud noise from my room. My dad must've broke the door and entered my room. Too late dad, too late. I finally sit on the side of the road, not being able to move anymore, due to the amount of blood I lost from both my hand and my head. I sob as I get my phone out of my pocket and call Rafe.

"Hey, how did things go with your dad?"

"Rafe please come get me right now. I'm bleeding really bad and I can barely walk." I say while crying.

"What the fuck! Where are you?" he gets mad.

"I'm at the side road near our house. Please be quick."

"I'm in my car already. What happened?" he says nervously as I hear him start his car.

"My h- head." I stutter. "The back of my head is b- bleeding and I, I wanna sleep..." I say in a tired voice while feeling my eyes close. I'm in shock.

"Fuck!" I hear Rafe shout from his car and hit something. "Whatever you do Cassie, just don't fall asleep okay? I'm almost there."

I don't say anything as I lie down on the cold floor feeling all of my energy squeezed out from me. 

"Talk to me Cassie! Don't fall asleep damn it!" I hear his panicked voice.

"I- uh, oh shit." I drop my phone as I throw up. "Fuck..." I can't feel anything but my eyelids slowly closing and darkness filling up my eyes. I start to think to myself... am I dying...
