jealousy -r.c.

chapter three

Everly

I looked around my side of room for my shoes and my phone only they were no where in sight. I didn't want to interact with Rafe I just wanted to leave.

I heard the shower turn off.

"Shit." I muttered to myself. Then I saw my shoes, under the bed. I quickly kneeled down and reached for them.

I didn't hear him walk over or even open his bathroom door but when I finally grabbed them both I looked up and he was hovering over me.

He had a towel rapped around his lower waist. His hair was wet and there were a few water drops still on his chest. And to make it even more of a situation I was still on my knees and he was still looking down at me.

"Just looking for my shoes." I said quickly.

Rafe reached down a bit to place his index finger under my chin. He lifted my face up all the way to look up at him. "If you're trying to book it that quickly, then I left your phone charging on the desk."

He walked away towards his dresser. "We'll obviously I should be booking it." I sat on the bed to put my shoes on.

"Why?" I heard him question.

"If Sarah sees me coming out of your room or starts asking around." I went on to explain. "Oh relax it's not like we slept together." He scoffed.

I got up off the bed, he was now facing me. "Well I mean we slept in the same bed but we didn't have sex." He shrugged. "Clearly." I muttered.

I grabbed my phone off the desk and walked towards the door. I turned around one last time, "Seriously Rafe, not a word of whatever this is." I pointed between us. He raised his hands at me as a response.

And with that I walked out of his room.

****

When I got home Vince was sitting on the front porch.

"God what the hell Vince." I threw my head back in annoyance.

"Got in a fight with my mom again." He said softly. Vince was a sweetheart when we were together but he always made bad choices. I strongly disliked him right now but I know what went down with him and his mom.

He stood up, "Couldn't go home so I just waited." Vince shrugged while placing his hands in his pockets.

"You waited out here all night?" I raised my brows. He nodded.

"You can come in for a couple hours Vince but that's it. You need to call your dad and ask if you can go stay with him." I walked past him to unlock the front door.

I heard the door shut behind me as I hung my keys up.

I didn't know it then but Rafe walked over to my house because I left my sweater. Only he saw Vince and I walking in my house together so he turned around and went home with the intention to not speak to me.

"I already called my dad, he doesn't want me around over there. C'mon Eve you know this stuff." Vince made his way to the couch.

"Look I'm sorry you had a fight with your mom but I don't know what you expect me to do. We aren't together and we aren't friends." I crossed my arms.

He looked over at me.

"You cheated Vince and it was with-" He cut me off. "I don't need the reminder alright I fucked up." He waved his hands.

I rolled my eyes.

A knock came from the door.

"Sarah?" I opened the door. She smiled and walked in. "You disappeared last night, there was a fight and then me and Topper kind of got into one as well." I shut the door quickly when she made her way towards the living room.

"Wait." I tried to keep her from going in there. Me disappearing last night and Vince being in here didn't look good.

"Oh." Sarah said. Vince stood up with a small smile on his face. Sarah turned around, "So this is why you disappeared." She covered the side of her mouth so Vince couldn't see what she was mouthing, "Sex".

"No no nothing happened here or between us." I explained but Sarah was already walking away back towards the door.

"Sarah I mean it don't start saying stuff." I chased after her.

"No promises." She cooed as she made her way out.

Fuck.

Rafe

I don't get it why everyone swooned over that music asshole. His songs weren't even that good.

I slammed the front door as I got home.

I was annoyed and honestly pissed off. How is she gonna kiss me and sleep in my bed and then get right back with him the next day.

I slapped a red solo cup off the counter in frustration.

Coke. I needed some coke. I made my way towards the kitchen. I opened the drawer where I stored the rest last night. Poured a small line out, I was running short.

I tilted my head back in satisfaction.

"Rafe." I could hear Wheezie down the hall. I placed the small bag in my pocket.

"Yeah?" I shouted. She walked in and made her way towards me. "When we're you gonna tell me you were dating Everly Foster?" She exaggerated her name.

I made a confused look, "What? Dating her? C'mon wheez I don't date." I shook my head at her. "Well I saw her leave your room this morning." She said.

I stood up straight, "You saw? What were you even doing here I thought you were staying at Linda's." I questioned. She shrugged, "Came home early.

"So what's going on between you two?" Wheezie asked again.

"Going on between who?" Sarah walked in. Wheezie glanced over at me. I slightly shook my head.

"Nothing. No one." Wheezie attempted to play it off.

Sarah gave a confused look to the both of us.

"Anyways I gotta go. Meeting up with a friend." I walked away from them both. I looked back at Wheezie and she gave a small smile followed by a nod.

We didn't always get along but we did have our moments.

I was about to walk towards the front door when I heard Sarah mentioning Everly. I stood off to the side in the hallway by the kitchen entrance.

"So remember how I told you about Everly and Vince breaking up." I heard Sarah say.

"Yeah?" Wheezie questioned.

"I went over to her house just now and guess who was there? Vince. Which I mean okay I get it everyone always goes back to the ex but what he did was fucked up." Sarah said. "Wait how do you know she's back with him?" Wheezie asked.

There was a small pause. "Well she said."

I shook my head and walked away. I didn't wanna hear anymore.

Fuck her.
