The next week Rose convinces Ward to let them get a dog after Sarah brought it up she got it stuck in her mind.
Wheezie was overjoyed about the idea but Rafe spent the day sulking as he was dragged from pet shop to pet shop.
"Hey look, this dealer replied to me, he can take us now." Rose says from the drivers seat.
"Oh great." Rafe says sarcastically from the backseat.
"Shut up you seem to love your dealer." Cleo says.
"What dealer?" Rose says, eyeing them from the mirror.
"My florist." Rafe says, smiling at her.
"Rafe I told you, you need to stop with the drugs." Rose says as she pulls out of the curb.
"I'm not-" Rafe starts
"Don't lie." Cleo interrupts quietly.
"I've tried okay, I can't." He admits.
"Yes you can you just don't want to." Sarah says from the passenger seat.
"Shut up Sarah." Rafe says, staring out of the window.
"Why did you even start, drugs are dumb." Wheezie asks from the middle seat.
"Just stuff." Rafe mumbles.
"Okay... when did you start?" Wheezie asks again.
"Uh..." Rafe thinks for a minute, "I was like a bit older than you." He says.
"That's thirteen!" Wheezie gasps.
"Yeah Rafe, thirteen." Rose says from the front seat.
"Wait... did you start because Kie rejected you?" Cleo asks.
"What? No." Rafe says quickly.
"That was exactly around wheezes age." Cleo says, already laughing, "oh my god I need to tell Kie about this." She says, pulling out her phone.
"Give me that!" Rafe snaps, reaching for her phone. She holds it away from him and opens kies snapchat.
She calls Kie until she answers and says into the phone, "Kie you'll never guess what I just-" she says.
Rafe lunges over Wheezie slapping his hand over cleos mouth.
"Rafe!" Rose scolds form the front.
"Rafe get off!" Wheezie whines, squirming with Rafe leaning over her lap.
"Rafe-" Cleo says, pulling away from Rafes hand.
"Give me that!" Rafe snaps, snatching the phone from her hand. He sits back in his seat and glares at Kie laughing on the end of the line. "Bye bye." He says to her before hanging up.
"Rafe." Cleo whines, taking back her phone. "You got your slimy fingerprints on it." She rubs at the screen with her sleeve.
"Suck it-"
"We're here." Rose says, putting the car in park and unbuckling her seatbelt, "let's go look."

They spend the next half hour wandering around the garden petting the variety of puppies jumpin up on their legs.
The dogs seemed to be attracted to Rafe, much to his dismay, and he shook them all off frowning through the whole time.
"Oh come on rafey she loves you." Cleo says, holding up the husky puppy squirming in her grip trying to Reach Rafe.
"No, and don't call me that." He says, pushing the dogs nose away. "They are disgusting."
"They are adorable." Cleo says, waving the dogs paw at him.
"Oi guys, what do you think about this one?" Rose holds up a squirming St Bernard.
"I love it." Wheezie says from the German Shepard section.
"We getting that one?" Sarah asks.
"Cleo and Rafe what do you think?" Rose asks them.
"Yep." Cleo says right ad Rafe says, "never."
"Shut up Rafe, yeah get that one." Cleo says to Rose. Rose goes to talk to the dealer and Cleo follows closely behind her.
The dealer was a woman named Brooke who gave them the dog half off because it was a runt.

"Go away!" Rafe hisses, pushing the dogs nose away from him, "Wheezie get it away." He whines.
"Oh my god Rafe, it's a dog." Wheezie says, stroking the puppies back.
"Yeah, an annoying one." He says, glaring at it. The puppy wags it's tail and surges forward, licking Rafes nose.
"Oi!" He yelps, the glinting of cleos phone camera catching his eye. "Are you recording me?" He asks slowly, turning towards her.
"Yep." Cleo says, "got the whole thing on video." She boasts.
"Delete that." He hisses.
"Never."
"Delete that now!" Rafe says, reaching for her phone. She pulls it out of his reach.
"Nah ah ah." She says, tutting at him, "I will have this forever." She says.
"Give it!" He snaps.
"Will you two stop fighting please!" Rose says, "we are almost home."
"They could never stop fighting Mum, they're married." Wheezie says.
"Excuse you?" Cleo says.
"Well, you fight like a married couple." Wheezie says, "we all think it." She shrugs.
"I hate this family." Rafe groans.

Did somebody say family? *insert dom toretto voice*
Sorry back to the story

"What are we gonna name him?" Sarah says. They are all sitting in the living room watching the puppy roll around infront of the fire.
"Dunno." Cleo says, smiling at it.
"Looks like a dumb bear." Rafe mutters, glaring at it.
"Rafe don't be-" Ward starts
"Hey we should name him bear!" Wheezie interrupts.
"What?" Rafe says, staring at her.
"Yeah. He's like a cute little bear." Wheezie says, calling him over by the name bear. He reacts immediately, stumbling to his feet and rushing over to her.
"Aw he loves it." Wheezie coos, running her hands through his dark fur.
"It suits." Rose shrugs.
"I'm happy." Sarah says and Cleo nods. Rafe disagrees but they all ignore him, playing with Bear for the rest of the night.
