Rafe Cameron Imagines

Broken Promise

Sort of a part 2 to Promise <3

We had always promised each other that were were going to last forever. And well so far we have kept that promise even though we are only 18 and 19, our relationship has worked out pretty well. It lasted perfectly until the last party we went to that was held at Topper's house. I'll tell the story.

Backstory

We had met at 15, we were in the same science class. I was new to school and knew nobody at all, I was assigned a seat next to Rafe Cameron in the back corner near the window. I had perfect view of the beach from the top floor, it was great to be able to zone out and see the ocean. I was never much good at science, neither was Rafe. We were assigned to go to a tutor once a week with each other, and were told to work together on assignments. If we both failed to hand it in, the teacher knew we hadn't listened during that week at school. Tutor lessons began to help and we got our grades up just enough to pass.

After science classes, we began hanging out after school. I met his friends and I made my own. I became friends with his sister Sarah and her boyfriend and Rafe's best friend Topper. I went to parties, and began petting way too hard.

We grew up together from then on. About a year and a half of knowing each other, we caught feelings. I told myself I wouldn't do this again, but my stupid heart did. Just something about him made me feel wanted and I loved it. We began dating and from then on at 16 years of age, and our relationship is still going strong two years later. Well, sort of.

We had gone to Topper's weekly party, I thought it was going to be like the usual drinking, dancing, drugs and games. But it wasn't. It all started as soon as we walked in the house. I had a nice dress in for once and Rafe didn't like it. We argued a little on the way, and it made a huge difference on how we acted at the party. He normally didn't leave my side but that night, he lost any care that he had. He left me to go do drugs upstairs with his 'friends'. I hung out with Sarah and enjoyed what I could of my night.

Dancing, drinking over and over again. We were pretty drunk, but that didn't bother me. My parents weren't home and my older brother wasn't going to care. I made my way upstairs to go find Rafe. Stumbling into doors, disrupting the deals happening in the stairs. I walked to the bedroom at the back of the house, knowing that's where he deals his drugs from Barry. I stormed in and was taken back by Rafe sat with some other girl. A black haired girl, shoulder length with bangs. Nose piercings and tattoos all down her arm. She was all over him. Rafe kissing her, his hands holding her face. I slammed the door init the wall making a lot of noise. They stopped and turned to look at the door. Rafe saw me and got up putting his shoes on. I rush out the door running downstairs, him chasing after me.

"Y/n! Y/n! Wait! Please! You saw it all wrong!"
I turn around making him nearly fall into me. Everyone now turning to look at us. The girl stood in the doorway watching, smirking. Nasty bitch.

"Saw what wrong! You kissing some other girl? No I saw that correctly! Don't even lie to me Rafe Cameron!"

"Y/n! Please! Let me explain!"

"Can't explain a cheater!" I storm off through the kitchen, everyone still watching.

He runs after me until I get to the front door. He grabs my wrist, making me stop. "Y/n. Please."

"Get off me! Get off!" I say yanking his hand off my wrist. Him digging his nails into me.
"Rafe your hurting me! Rafe!"

He lets go and stares at me.
"Here take this back! It clearly meant nothing to you!" I take the promise ring off my finger, throwing it onto the ground, it hits the ground clattering. The little R now on the floor, where it now belongs. I struggle to take the necklace off, twisting it one way then the other. I unclasp it and throw it at him.
"Take your stupid promise ring back! I don't want it. It was all a lie! Everything you ever said! Everything you did for me, was all a lie!" I scream running out the door and slamming it behind me.

That's what happened. A year ago actually. He moved on straight away, found some other girl not long after. The girl ended up apologising, which I didn't care about and didn't accept. She was Outer Banks' main hoe, Mandy. Everyone knew her so I wasn't surprised to see her with my now ex-boyfriend.

The ring he gave me? Yeah, he gave that to the new girl as well as the necklace. His dad had liked him out not longer after, said he was a waste of space and didn't want a disappointment of a son like that in his house. I couldn't have agreed more.

I had moved on. For good. I was focusing on getting through school. I can't say I didn't miss our great times together, and my science partner but it was for the better. I needed to move on.

And I did. Oh I definitely did alright. It was definitely a while after. I needed time to heal my heart. But I found someone who does treat me well. Although, it's not exactly official as I didn't want to rush things, I wanted ti take this relationship slow. Mine and Rafe's had lasted two years, I was 15 and wasn't ready for the commitment. Having such a huge responsibility at such s young age, wasn't good for me. My heart was definitely broken, for sure, but it was healed. I cried a lot in the two months after. I didn't go to school, and my grades dropped. But I got back on track, after a new kid came to school. It was the same situation I had met Rafe. Science class. Why was it always science class?

We were partners. Me and this boy Carl. Carl Gallagher (Iykyk 😉). He wasn't the best at school, bless him. We had a tutor session a few times a week, for science and I helped him with the other lessons I was good at. His grades got better and so did mine. Although, he wasn't great at helping with the assignments and projects, we got through it. We were close to graduating and prom/homecoming was coming up. I needed to be asked. I tried everything until he did.

____________________________________

We graduated somehow and life got better. I bought my first apartment and a car. Made new friends and got a job. A job I loved. Rafe and I became friends again, it was never going to be anything serious or anything again but it was good to be friendly.

I finally had my life turned around. And so did Rafe. He was dating Mandy again and they got engaged not long after leaving school. I was far from engaged. I had a boyfriend and that's as far as I got. Our friend group expanded, adding Sarah and her new friends from school and Topper and his new friends, since they hadn't graduated yet being a year younger than us. Their friends became ours, the Pogues became our friends and life was really great.
