Elliots eyes were focused on the sun that was now barely peeking through the clouds, the sky fun of pinks, yellows and oranges, brightening up rafes face everytime she glanced at him

He looked content, just watching the sunset too. The pair was on the top of the boat, sitting shoulder to shoulder, watching the sunset with music softly playing in the background.

This definitly something rafe would have never thought he would be doing on a Thursday evening, especially with a girl he was falling for. But here he was

"rafe" elliott whispered, his head instantly turned to her, ears perked as he listened to her voice, soft and quiet. Music to his ears

"mhm" he questioned, leaning back on his elbows, elliott brought her knees to her chest, wrapping her arms around them in attempt to get warmer

"have you ever thought of just packing up all your belongings and just running away? change your name, everything, just start fresh?"

rafe furrowed his eyebrows, running a hand through his hair before he sat up, grabbing his sweatshirt and placing it over her shoulders

"sometimes, but then i realized people need me here, especially my dad and i can't just get up and leave" he told her

"have you ever thought about just you? stop caring about your dad for once and think for you, what would you do?"

"simple" he let a breath out, "i would leave, ive had enough of this small island"

the two made eye contact before rafe spoke up again, "what would you do?"

"i know i can't leave because of JJ, but if i were to leave I would go to the Bahamas, dream place of mine" elliott smiled, rafe couldn't help but smile a small one back, her small was addicting, like a drug but it was a drug he actually wanted to take

"bahamas? intresting, i would think you would want to go to like New York or some shit" he stiffed out a awkward laugh

"i wouldn't mind New York, i really wanna see snow, it's on my bucket list" rafe was a bit closer now, elliott slightly in front of him

"number 1 on my bucket list is to stop doing coke for this special someone, all the others will come to me as time goes on" Rafe spoke, elliott froze

special someone? he liked someone else? this whole trip was all for nothing, he doesn't actually like me?

"you ok maybank? you just froze" he placed a hand on her shoulder, elliott flinched at the touch making him instantly move his hand, which he put back a couple seconds later

"i'm fine i'm fine" she responded quietly, looking down, the sun was practically gone now, stars littered the sky

"but once i'm done with number 1, number 2 will be easy to determine" Rafe stopped talking, looking at the blonde in front of him, whose face he couldn't see

"maybank" he asked, no response

"maybank" he asked again, still no answer

"maybank" he breathed out, reaching out and grabbing her chin, forcing her to look at him

his expression softened once he saw how sad she looked

elliott didn't dare look in his eyes, knowing there was someone else and he wasn't falling for her, instead someone else

Rafe was confused, had he said something wrong? what could have possibly made her sad? did she not like him? his brain started collecting all these thoughts

"princess" he whispered, a firm grip still on her chin, "princess please look at me" he breathed out

elliott looked up, meeting his blue eyes, he had a concerned look on his face, making it look like he actually cared

"what's wrong?" he didn't want to raise his voice, he didn't want to scare her

still no answer came out of her

"god damnit elliott" he huffed out, letting go of her chin

"there's someone else?" she whispered, almsot not audible but rafe caught it, his eyes looked up at her

"what? no no no, there's no one else" he panicked

why did she think that?

"you said you were going to try and stop doing drugs for a special someone" elliott looked in her eyes, still no tears had came to her and she was glad, she would be one big pussy to cry in front of him

"that special someone is right in front of me princess" he smiled, elliotts expression lightened up

"don't know if you've realized princess but the only special someone in my life is you right now, no one else's matters as much as you"

elliott had to take in his words for a second

rafe cameron, the cold hearted cameron who didn't give a shit about anyone, the cold hearted cameron who used girls and did drugs, was the same cameron who was telling her she was the only person in the world who mattered in his life

elliott looked into his eyes, and that's when she couldn't hold it any longer

she reached forward, connecting lips with the blonde boy, who instantly relaxed at her touch, holding her cheek in comfort, deepening the kiss the minute their lips touched

nothing else mattered in that moment. It was just them, two broken teens who hadn't felt real love, sitting on top of a boat under the stars that brightened the minute they connected lips.

It was perfect but little did both teens know that the bond they had for each other was going to be broken or interrupted in the next week.
