~Keira's Pov~
It was getting late and I didn't know where to go. I sat down at the dock as I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen and looked down at my stomach, I peeled of the bandage and grabbed a new one out my pocket and changed it over. I sat in silence for a few more minutes before I heard a noise. A small creaking sound of the wood beneath.
R: hey you okay?
I turn around and see Rafe behind me, I immediately stand up but stumble from the pain and he grabs my arm.
K: don't touch me!
I push him off and step back.
R: what happened?
I look at him confused, he did this to me.
K: excuse me
R: your bleeding are you okay?
K: stay the hell away from me!
R: look I've messaged topper.
K: you did this!
He looks up from his phone and stares me in the eyes.
K: you shot me.
R: w-what w-when?
He looks at the ground trying to figure it out.
K: you came looking for him and you pointed the gun up and fired. The bullet hit me.
R: keira. I-
He stepped closer.
K: don't come near me! You shot me Rafe!
R: that's it that's-it's always my fault, like uh I'm always the bad guy. Like I'm Wrong to protect what's mine. Huh!
He starts raising his voice.
R: listen to me, the cops wanna talk to Sarah and you know where she is, I need to make sure the stories straight. So your gonna testify to.
He lowers his voice.
K: I'm not doing that.
R: yeah you-
K: you killed peterkin.
He looks down staring right into my soul.
K: Sarah's stories straight, so is mine.
He rolled his eyes.
K: Rafe this could go so much better for you-
R: who are you trying to protect here? Huh
K: I'm doing the right thing.
R: me or Sarah?
K: I've protected you before and it got me know where. I can't do this again. With all your gaslighting. Sarah's hurt, you hurt her.
R: are you really trying to do the right thing?
You doing the right thing-
K: stop
R: no listen. You doing the right thing is the reason you got shot, is the reason Sarah got shot is the reason your all stuck in this. Your following John B.
K: John b might get the death penalty because of you!
R: that!
He shouts.
R: that right there! That's exactly what I'm talking about keira, you know. You've always chose them, it's not fair.
I shake my head.
