ɪɴ ᴍʏ ʜᴇᴀᴅ | RAFE CAMERON

02

"SHE WAS BEING SUCH A BITCH LAST NIGHT, BRO." Hayden Wilson's voice echos from the home gym in Tannyhill. Him, Topper and Rafe were spread out amongst the small room, rotating between the pull up bar and the dumbbells.

"Well Tori is always a bitch, so. Maybe you should get a grip on your sister." Rafe pants, finishing his round of pull up's before wiping off his sweat with a towel.

Rolling his eyes behind the blonde's back, Hayden sighs. "I'm not- Rafe, she's my sister. I didn't mean it like that. I love her, you know?"

"Well if she loved you back, maybe she wouldn't throw your hard earned money down the place where you take a shit." The teen scoffs back, before chugging a small bottle of water.

Butting in, Topper rubs his neck, "Hayden, dude, maybe take a break from the coke for a while, just stay clean until school comes around again."

Nodding his head, Hayden picks up his phone, seeing his sister's text that says she is here, waiting for him to finish up so they can go meet their dad at the club. before throwing the device in his backpack. "Yeah, you're right."

Laughing, Rafe fixes his wet hair. "You're joking, right? You are gonna let your sister win this?" He takes a few steps forward to be closer to Hayden, almost like he was gonna tell a secret. "Bro, it's not a big deal, we'll keep it on the down low."

"What? No, Rafe. I am getting clean, I'm making Tori proud." Hayden softly says, smiling to himself as he packs up all his stuff.

"Dude, just don't tell her. You can come to my house and do some lines, she wouldn't even know." Rafe smirks, leaning against the doorway, blocking Hayden's way out.

"Rafe, I gotta go, I'll think about it." The brunette replies, fidgeting with his backpack strap on his shoulder. In response, he gets a teasing look from the Kook with a head tilt.

"Rafe just let him go and think about it." Topper pushes, staying back behind the two boys.

"You guys good?" A soft voice speaks from outside the room, making the three boys head turn to see Sarah, with Tori standing right behind her with her arms crossed. A breath of relief had escaped from Hayden, who was starting to get worried like he always did when Rafe got mad.

Luckily though, with his sister and Sarah around, he knew the blonde wouldn't do anything.

"You ready Hayden? Come on." The brunette speaks, already making her way out of the hallway. Following, the young boy doesn't say anything before walking out the front door.

Rafe Cameron had always had a problem, Hayden saw them as anger issues but it was clear that there was more to it. One could never know what to expect from the Kook, which is why Hayden always preferred to be with both Topper and Rafe.

Hayden became friends with Rafe, officially, when they were eight and eleven. Every since it seemed like all Hayden heard about was Tori and her stupidity, and it was almost as if his sister was the reason to all of the two's problems.

"What was that about?" Tori asks, both of them heading down the street, to get in the car

Shaking his head, the boy's lip quivers, "Nothing, Rafe was just a little stressed is all." He shrugs, and pulls out his shirt to throw on once they sit down.

All the girl did was sigh, and the two drove away in silence.

If Tori loved one thing about her job, other than the fact she could be on her phone whenever she wanted, was that cute, sweaty golfers were coming into the pro shop all the time.
