The next morning, Rafe woke up and made breakfast for Liv. He made the best he can do, pancakes. He puts them on a plate and walks upstairs to give Liv the food.

"Morning angel" he says as he puts the plate on the nightstand.

"Hi Rafey" she sits up, he kisses her cheek.

"Do you feel alright?" He asks, caressing her cheek.

"I'm okay silly" she laughs.

"Look, I made you pancakes" he puts the plate on her lap.

"Aww, You didn't have to do that, Rafe" she smiles.

"You deserve all the love after what I've done to you" he says, looking down.

"I'm okay, I promise. You don't have to blame yourself anymore" she says.

"I love you" he says before kissing her forehead.

"I love you" she says.

"And I need to talk to you about something" she says, putting the plate on the nightstand again.

"What is it sweetheart?" He asks.

"I think it would be a good idea if you get yourself the help you need" she looks into his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Rafe looks at her confused.

"Maybe you could go to therapy" she says, scared for his reaction.

"A fucking therapy?" He furrows his brows.

"Yeah...because of the way you get mad so fast or the drugs, and maybe it helps to talk to a stranger about your feelings" she says.

"No, you know you're the only one I tell about my feelings, and I'm done with drugs, Olivia" he says.

"But sometimes your anger gets to hurt and you let it out on me!" She looks at him sadly.

"You told me I shouldn't blame myself anymore" he grits his teeth together.

"Because I don't want you to feel bad" Liv whines.

"Do you think I don't feel bad? Do you think I fall asleep with you in my arms without knowing I'm bad for you? Do you think that I don't know you deserve way better?" He rambles.

"Don't say that, Rafe you know how much I love you. You're the one for me" she says, cupping his face in her hands.

"I see the fear in your eyes when we talk" Rafe looks down as she lets go of him.

"Rafe"

"You're scared of me, and you have every right for that. I was a terrible boyfriend to you" he cries.

"No, please don't say that. You apologized for everything so often, and you made me feel better with the nice stuff you made. I love you so much" she says as he runs a hand through his hair.

"How could a heart like yours love a heart like mine?" He looks at her with teary eyes.

"Stop being so hard to yourself Rafe. To the person I love more than anything else. It breaks my heart, which loves yours with every inch of it" Liv says as she hugs him.

"I don't want to hurt you anymore" Rafe cries into her shoulder. "I always hurt you"

"Stop Rafe. Stop saying that" she says as she hears him sobbing.

"But it's true tiny, I hurt you" he cries.

"I know you didn't mean to do that baby, but a therapist could really help you" she says, pulling away from him.

"Okay" he mumbles.

"I don't want to see you struggling with your feelings my love" Liv caresses his cheek.

"I love you" Rafe says.

"I love you" Liv kisses his lips.

Rafe's phone beeps, making him look at the screen to see Wheezie, his sister texted him.

Wheezie
Hi Rafe
When are you coming back home?
I miss you

Rafe shows the messages to Liv, making her look at him sadly. Wheezie is the only one of his family who Rafe loves. They always have each other's back and now that Rafe isn't coming back home, it's hard to tell her.

"What should I say?" Rafe asks.

"Tell her the truth" Liv nods.

Rafe
Hey wheez
I'm not coming back but don't be sad okay?

Wheezie
Why not?
No one is telling me what's going on
I hate it here
Please come back

Rafe
I'm sorry
I can't Ward doesn't want me to

Wheezie
Why not?
What did you do?

Rafe
Bc I'm with Liv even though Sarah hates her
And Sarah is his fave

Wheezie
That doesn't mean we gotta do what Sarah likes
She's not the queen

Rafe
Ik but he thinks otherwise

Wheezie
When can I see you again
Everyone here are assholes

Rafe
You could sneak out

Wheezie
100% I will
See ya

"She misses me" Rafe grins.

"You're a good brother" Liv says.

"I love you" Rafe kisses her lips.

"I love you too" she smiles before hugging him.
