I wake up and feel a banging in my head. Topper really must've elbowed me hard.

I go into the bathroom and see a pretty big bruise on my head and i sigh "Great" I say quietly.

Once im all dressed and ready I was down stairs and see Adam yelling at Topper.

I assume because of last night, I stand a little to the left of the doorway so they don't see me.

"You could've really Blakely!" Adam yells "more importantly you could've drowned her best friend!" Adam yells. 

"Be better Topper or everything is cut off and ill be looking at military school.

Adam says storming off and accidentally runs into me, "Im sorry about last night" he apologizes for something that wasn't his fault.

"It's ok its not as bad as it looks" I say giving him a smile. He nods and walks off upstairs.

I see Topper slam the coffee table with his fists.

I flinch at how loud it was and Topper Storms off and sees me and stops for a second then continues to go upstairs.

My mom walks in with a ton of grocery bags in her hands, "Blake!, Get ready sweetie we are going to have dinner at the Camerons" She says setting down the grocery bags and starting to put them away.

I walk upstairs and try to find something nice to wear, I find this emerald green short silky dress Adam bought me as a welcoming gift.

I go take a shower and do my hair and mascara until I think I look acceptable. I slip on my white high-top converse and walk downstairs.

My mom is in one of her fanciest dresses and her only good pair of heels. Adam and Topper basically dressed the same just really fancy.

"Ready?" Adam asks me and I nod, We all walk out to Adam's Range Rover and get in.

All this fancy stuff is unusual to me and I swear to god if the pouges could see me now they would roast the shit out of me.

Once we get to the Cameron's house we all start to walk in, I notice Rafe on the roof with a drink in his hand and then I put my head down and walk through their front door.

Ward and Rose are there greeting us and giving hugs, I think Ward is a shitty father but I was still going to be nice to him for now.

I give him a hug and Rose tells me I look beautiful and I smile and tell her the same.

"Sarah is out by the pool if you wanna go out there, Blakely" Ward says. "Ok ya" I say and start heading out there.

I see Sarah with a bottle of Vodka in her hand drinking it on one of the lounge chairs.

"Hey" she says with a smile, "Hey" I say sitting next to her. 

"Are we chill?" She asks me "Not until you apologize" I say looking straight at the pool. 

"For what!?" She scoffs. "

"For treating me and Kie like trash!" I say looking at her giving her a 'really' look.

"When people get close to me I push them away" she says softly.

"So you just invited everyone on the island but Kie and I to your party" I say

"So you guys called the cops!" she says laughing.

I start laughing and she walks over to me and gives me a hug, "so we are good" she says pulling away and I nod my head.

We walk inside and see dinner is done and take our seats. I sat across from Rafe and Sarah was right next to me.

The parents are talking and Sarah and I are just talking about literally anything as we eat.

I notice Rafe snag a few looks at me every once and a while. 

I make eye contact with him for a second but Sarah says something that caught my attention, "So B' are you single" She asks with a smile and nudging me.

I see Rafe get very interested in this conversation, "Uh ya I have been for awhile" I say taking a bite of the salad.

"By choice orrr?" she questions. "Ya by choice, boys really suck," I say laughing.

"Amen" She says and I laugh, I see Rafe smile a little then go back to talking to Topper.

After dinner I was up in Sarahs room with her and she asks me "Do you wanna stay over?" 

"Ya for sure!" I say, "Let me ask mom real quick" I sayand go downstairs.

I only see Rafe in the kitchen but I dont know where the Parents are, "Your mom and Adam went to the country club with Ward and Rose" Rafe says drinking his water. 

He was shirtless and in grey sweatpants and he did look really good with his hair all messy.

"Top went over to Kelaces so if you wanted to stay over you could," Rafe says looking me up and down.

"Um, where are the cups?" I ask him, He walks over to a cabinet right by me and stands over me pushing into me a little, and puts his other hand on my waist and grabs a glass.

"Thank you" I say as he pushes off of me and hands me the cup.

He gives me a little kiss on the cheek and goes back to his room. I could tell he was drunk but I was really hoping he knew what he was doing.

I fill up the glass then walk back to Sarah's room and see she is picking out a movie "Hey, I grabbed snacks" she says and I notice the candy and pop corn on her bed and I smile.

We were watching the movie and she turns to me and says "Is there something going on between you and Rafe" 

"I don't even know to be honest," I say in complete honesty. "I had a really deep conversation with him last night but then before it he was calling me all these names and shit. Sometimes he is really nice but sometimes he makes me feel like complete shit" I say being honest with her.

"Thats Rafe, he is so bipolar" Sarah says eating some of the snacks. 

"I don't have a crush on him but sometimes he just makes me feel nice sometimes but never all the time," I say.

Rafe Cameron is the most complicated person I have ever met.
