Play Pretend

Pure pain

Y/n's POV:

I open my eyes, seeing that Rafe is asleep.

I am determined, I need to find what he is hiding from me,

This sounds silly, and not smart, but I want to know, If I am being honest, I actually hope that I am overreacting,

I hope that I find nothing and so that Rafe could call me silly, tell me ' I said so',

I trust him, but I am too curious...

I saw Daniel's face when Rafe was refusing to answer the question, and I suspect him of knowing something,

He lives with my friend whilst he is visiting, I call her, asking her to bring her brother with her,

She seems worried, but I assure that my sudden call at five am is nothing serious nor worth worrying, just curiosity,

I walk in, they are both sitting at a Cafe that we planned to meet at, Daniel looks at me, his eyes washing over my body,

'Hey, thank you so much for coming, I know that it's sudden, but I need to do it so that Rafe doesn't find out for now.' I say,

'It's okay, and I think I know what you are here for.' Daniel says, putting me in complete confusion, however my friend seems to not be surprised at all,

'Daniel...don't, it will destroy her.' She whispers, making my eyes widen and heartbeat quicken,

'What-what?!' I ask, looking at them,

'She deserves to know...'

Rafe's POV:

I wake up, alone,

My eyes search the whole room, she isn't here,

I get off the bed and pace towards the bathroom, kitchen, any other room,

Her phone isn't here, nor her shoes or coat...

Fuck...fuck, fuck, fuck!

She was too fucking curious wasn't she?

I brush my hands through my hair, exhaling,

'Fuck.' I whisper under my breath, grabbing my coat and running towards the car.

-

I walk in, after being told where she is, I pace through the cafe doors, seeing her and that fucking twat looking at me,

Her eyes filling with tears as she looks at me,

I fucked up...

My heart races and breathing becomes rapid,

'Get the fuck away from her.' I say, my blood rushing like I am running a marathon,

'She deserved to-'

'Shut your mouth before it's your last time that you can speak.'

Y/n's POV:

He lied all along,

He fucking lied to me and made me believe that I was overreacting,

'You-you fucking-'

'No, no Y/n, it's not what you think-' He walks towards me, but I step back, my vision blurring from tears, throat becoming sore and stomach turning into a knot,

'You even know what I am talking about, you-' I begin, breaking down and being unable to control my words and body,

He runs towards me, trying to hold me, but I push-

'A dare? A fucking dare? It was all a lie? To win some fucking stupid dare- and everyone knew except me? I can't believe you-'

'No-no Y/n, I forgot about it, I fell for you and-Y/n-'

'You know, I should've known it all along, should've seen that one coming. Rafe Cameron being with a girl for longer than one day? Not like him, it's embarrassing for you, it's not like you, it's not like Rafe fucking Cameron-'

'Y/n, no, no it's not like this, everything I said was true, everything, I want you, I have always wanted you, I didn't care about the fucking dare, I just wanted to be with you-'

'Yet you lied to me! You hid everything from me, I can't believe you- I-'

I turn my head, tears falling down my cheeks, stinging my eyes,

'Y/n, please, let's go home and let me explain everything-'

'I don't need one of your stupid explanations Rafe! I don't need shit from you, go find another girl to fuck and then lie to her.' I exhale, pushing past him,

He holds my wrist, but I yank,

'Please...please Y/n, I am-'

'Don't touch me Cameron...' I whisper, my voice cracking, tears falling,

His eyes widen and brows furrow,

'Don't Y/n, please don't-'

'Let go, I want to be alone now...'

I can see the emotions that I could never see before, pain, pure pain in his face,

His eyes red, jaw clenches, veins prominent,

'Can we please talk-'

'No Rafe, Let. Go.' I say...

'Y/n, please, don't do this to me, I need you, I need you more than anything on this stupid world.'

'You should've prioritised truth Rafe, not infringe my own knowledge on who you actually are as a person Rafe. You hurt me so bad, it fucking hurts...' I say,

His eyes redder, his whole face in pain, he tightens his grasp, not wanting to let go, before I yank myself and walk away, vision so blurred,

'Y/n, please don't do this-'

I walk off, tears trailing down, I hear him follow me, but I begin running,

'Rafe-leave me alone-please- do one thing for me that won't end up hurting me.' I yell...

He stops, as I hear him yell my name and hit an object in anger...

Fuck...
