IT'S OKAY

Warning : MENTIONS of rape (just mentions)

Callie got out of the van and approached the huge Cameron's mansion. She opened the front door with the keys Rafe had given her and went upstairs to find him, tears rolling down her cheeks.

She didn't meet anyone, maybe because of how late it was, and the fact they were all already sleeping.

She knocked on Rafe's door and slowly opened it, before seeing him sitting on his bed, phone in the hand.

He looked up at her and jumped off the bed, walking towards her as if he was mad. "Where were you? I called you at least f-"

"Rafe please," her voice cracked as she said it and sobs she had tried to keep inside of her came out.

His look changed and he softened as she started crying. He wrapped his arms around her and she cried for a little while. "It's okay"

He slowly pulled away and grabbed her hand, walking towards the bed where she took a sit. She tried to calm her breathing and Rafe got more comfortable on the bed, patting on his lap.

She laid down, rested her head on his lap, looking towards him. "Wanna tell me about it?" he asked, running his hand through her hair softly.

She told him the whole story, not skipping any detail and sometimes when her voice was cracking, he was leaning down and kissing her head to give her support.

"-and now we gotta wait until Sarah gives us news," she concluded.

"I can't believe Topper did this. I'm gonna kill him," Rafe spoke and Callie sat up on the bed, to face him.

"Are you taking John B's side on that one?"

"No," he laughed and cupped her cheeks with both of his hands. "I'm taking my girlfriends side, because it's the way I should've acted since the very beginning and I'm sorry I didn't"

Her eyes filled up with tears again, because maybe he was right, but she wasn't mad at all.

Last year, after Topper had raped her at his party, Rafe had been very helpful and had been one of the only ones she had told exactly what had happened to.

Tears started to blurry her vision, then rolled down her face. If only he knew she loved him more than anything and he didn't have to feel guilty. "Rafe please, don't feel that way"

"But I do, I really do feel that way. I was so dumb treating you the way I did. You're the most precious thing in my life, and I don't wanna have you suffering anymore"

She nodded as he wiped away her the tears on her cheeks and she wrapped her arms around his neck, to hug him.

"Rafe I promise I don't always choose them over you," she whispered in his ear and he nodded. "I'm sorry if you feel like you're not the very first person I think of when I wake up, because you are Rafe"

He kept her in his arms and they hugged silently for a while, before Rafe laughed, breaking the silence.

"What is it?"

"I didn't really expect an emotional type of night if you know what I mean," he said as he pulled away. She laughed awkwardly and took his hands into hers, playing with his fingers.

"Yeah I kinda know what you mean"

He took her hands off his and played with the low cut neckline of her dress between his fingers. "You look so pretty Sanders, tonight you drove me insane"
