Rafe Cameron

As I watch Corrine drift off to sleep, I sit on the edge of my bed.

It was late, but my manic mind wasn't going to let me rest tonight. I knew that the second I watched Corrine kill someone. I also knew I wasn't going to get proper sleep for the next couple of days. My mind is it's own person when this happens. It doesn't shut the fuck up.

"Rafe?" A voice shouts. I quickly stand, glancing back to make sure that Corrine stays asleep. "Rafe?"

I walk out the door, "Would you shut up? Corrine is trying to sleep." When I close the door behind me I finally face Rose. "What do you want?"

"What is Sarah doing in the wine closet?" She asks, her voice still loud enough to echo off the walls.

"Rose," I snap at her. I watch her flinch at my tone. "Lower your fucking voice." I didn't need Corrine to hear this conversation.

She doesn't need to know about any of the shit I did.

"What is Sarah doing in the wine closet?" She asks again, in a much lower tone. "What did you do to her?"

"She's fine," I roll my eyes. "Everything's always about Sarah."

"Rafe—"

"Sarah this, Sarah that, fuck. She's fine Rose." I stare down at her. She had this freaked out look on her face like she thought I was crazy or something. "She was trying to leave. And you said you wanted everyone here, right?"

"Well, yes, but that isn't the way—"

"It kept her here, did it not? Now you don't have to search the whole fucking island for her and waste your time. You're welcome." I roll my eyes at her stupidity. "I'm doing your work for you, and you look at me like I'm fucking crazy." I let out a scoff.

"You're just unpredictable Rafe," She says. "First you threaten me with a knife a couple of weeks ago. Then you come home with a dead body and give me no details about it. Then you lock Sarah in a closet—"

"Rose, shut up."  She tries to move past me to get into the room and I keep my hand on the door handle. "Leave her be." What does she possibly think she's going to do?

"Why do you keep Corrine trapped?" What the hell is she talking about?

"Staying in a relationship with someone isn't trapping them." She also doesn't know shit about our relationship.

"You're going to hurt her," Rose whispers, her voice shaking. She's so fucking dramatic. "Her dad has been calling, asking where she's been."

"Her dad?" I repeat. Did Corrine not tell her dad where she was going?

"He doesn't want you two seeing each other," She says, "He told me. And I agree honestly. You're not good for her. You're going to hurt her just like you hurt Sarah and I."

I feel my eyes darken. I glare down at her as she stops speaking. All I could feel was the anger taking over. Everything else didn't matter. My jaw clenches tight.
