It's been two months, and Rafe and Liv are still not together. She's getting over him slowly, and he's done with therapy now.

Right now, she's at a party, talking to her new boyfriend. And that's when Rafe steps into the party.

"No" he mutters, and his eyes fill with tears as he sees Liv with another guy.

He decides to go and talk to her. Maybe they're just talking, he thinks, walking up to her.

"Hey" he breathes out.

"Rafe? Hi" Liv says, furrowing her eyebrows.

"Can we talk?" He asks.

"Sorry, About what?" Her boyfriend who's a bit shorter than Rafe, stands up and asks.

"None of your fucking business" Rafe says, his eyes look into the guy's ones.

"It is my fucking business man, that's my girlfriend" he smirks.

Rafe's heart shatters when he hears the word 'girlfriend'. He can't imagine Liv, his Liv Smith, with some other dude. And the thought makes him almost cry, but he holds his tears back.

"Girlfriend?" His voice shakes as he looks at Liv.

Liv looks at him with a slight open mouth. She takes his hand and runs to some corner of the house with him as her boyfriend shouts her name.

"What do you want, Rafe?" She asks softly.

"I-I wanted to tell you that I'm ready now. I'm done with therapy, and now I can treat you right, and I won't leave you again" he says, still processing the fact that she has a new boyfriend.

"Rafe..." she looks at him sadly.

"Look, break up with him. I love you so fucking nuch, please. I love you Liv" he rambles.

"Rafe, stop" she says.

"Please....I love you"

"Stop!" She implies, making him stop. "I can't"

"Why?" He smiles sadly.

"Because it's too late. I've been waiting for you, and it was hard. I cried every day and thought you'd come home and hug me, but it never happened. I know you're ready now, and that's great, but I'm not. I'm scared to feel this pain again" she starts to cry.

"But Liv, don't you love me?" He asks as a tear rolls down his cheek.

"I need to stop...loving you" she says.

"No you don't, please, I promise I won't leave you again and you'll never have to feel this pain again" he begs.

"No Rafe, I told you I can't" she says, not looking into his eyes.

"Look me in the eyes and tell me that you don't love me" he whispers.

She looks into his eyes before saying, "I love you so much, Rafe. And I always will"

He wraps his arms around her waist slowly as hers wrap around his neck. She looks into his eyes as he does the same.

"What the hell?" Her boyfriend implies, making Liv pull away.

"What is going on here?" He steps closer to Liv, making Rafe push him away.

"Come closer to her and I kill you" Rafe says.

"Get out of my way right now" her boyfriend says, which makes Rafe push him away more.

"I told you to back the fuck off" Rafe says in his cold voice.

"Rafe, please calm down" Liv holds onto his bicep.

"You are a fucking cunt, a slut!" The guy points at Liv, making Rafe's hands ball into fists.

"Rafe, don't. Don't listen to him, he wants to make you aggressive, don't let him get under your skin" she says nervously.

"Yeah but it's too late, baby" he says, punching him into the face.

"Rafe!" She yells as Rafe punches him to the ground.

"That's what you get, son of a bitch!" He shouts, punching him into the face as the guy grunts, trying to fight back.

"Stop! Rafe, stop!" Liv says, seeing a few people around them.

"Don't fucking mess with me" he mutters, spitting on him before standing up.

"Rafe" Liv's voice shakes.

"It's okay tiny" he says, holding her hand and walking out of the house.

He leans in slowly, and puts his hand on her cheek. He looks into her eyes to check if she wants that. When she nods, he connects his lips with hers and kisses her softly.
