{Red Roses} ~Rafe Cameron~

44. Murderer

He had the face of an angel

But the mind of a killer

He held the gun in those hands.

His hands.

The ones that held onto her. The ones that wrapped around her when She was upset.

Those blue eyes covered with tears.

His blue eyes.

The ones that looked at her with lust and desire. The ones that reminded her of the ocean. The ones that made her feel... safe.

"Ophelia i didn't meant to. I- I was just trying to scare them" Rafe spoke quickly.

"I had to save him"

Murderer.

"She was going to kill him"

Murderer.

"I- I saved him. Not Sarah. Ok? Me. Rafe? I did."

Murderer.

"Ophelia?" He stopped speaking and looked towards the poor girl.
Peterkin's blood all over her hands and shirt. Her pretty face, pale. Her hands, shaking.

"You." She whispered ever so quietly.

"Your." She tried again.

"Your a Murderer." She whispered as if she didn't quite believe it herself. Her voice shaky.

"You. You killed her." Her voice broke. The sound echoing in Rafe's head.

'You killed her'

'You killed her'

'You killed her'

"Ophelia." Rafe went to hold the girls hand but she flinched. She looked up at him with teary eyes and shook her head slowly.

"You-your scared of me. Aren't you?" Rafe looked down.

"I love you."
"I love you, Ophelia Martin"
Tears slipped out of his eyes. Soft tears that had been kept inside all this time.

Ophelia shook her head slowly.

She couldn't bare to see someone else dead in her arms.

She took a few steps back and walked away from the boy.

The boy she once loved.

~~~

She walked along the beach. The soft rain pattering against the ocean water. Her feet squishing against the cold, wet sand. Her mind clouded with thoughts. Her arms wrapped tightly around herself.

The cool breeze hitting hard against her skin. She was cold.

Soft tears spilling out of her eyes.

Suddenly the rain stopped.

Wait.

No it didn't.

It only stopped where Ophelia was standing.

She looked up to see an umbrella over her.

She turned around and was met with.

Dean.

He smiled softly. His hair and clothes drenched.

But he didn't care.

Ophelia looked up at him and smiled.

More tears spilled out of her eyes and she moved closer to him. She wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes shut.

She missed his hugs.

His scent.

His warmth.

Him.

Dean wrapped his arms around the girl. He rested his chin on top of her head. Small prickles of tears fell from his eyes, that mixed with the rain.

"Im sorry" Ophelia whispered. She looked up at him.

"Don't be sorry." He held her tighter and kissed her forehead.

"I love you Ophelia. Please don't ever leave me" he whispered.

"Never." She smiled and hugged him tighter as he twirled her around in the rain.

The rumbling sound of the thunderstorm echoing in the distance. The dark clouds hovering above them. As they spun around in the water.

Ophelia laughed as Dean pulled her against him.

He made her forget about all the horrors haunting her. And the miserable mood she was in. He made her forget about all the negativity.

What would she do without him?.

The two teens laughed as they made their way into the car. They got inside and drove off while blasting music on the radio.

But what they didn't know was that,  he was watching them.

He was watching them laugh.

He was watching them hug

He was watching them smile and dance in the rain.

He.

Rafe.

Rafe was watching.
