RAFE CAMERON & JJ MAYBANK IMAGINES

Help • Rafe Cameron

CONENT WARNING
Mentions of murder and suicide

Rafe paced back in forth in the main room of Tannyhill.

You walked into the room, but paused when you saw him pacing. He was rubbing his eyes and panting.

"Rafe? Are you okay?" You spoke up.

"No." He answered.

You went over to him and grabbed him.

"What's wrong, baby? Talk to me."

He put his hands down to reveal his red, puffy eyes. He had been crying.

"I'm not okay. I'm...I'm not okay. I keep having these...these thoughts about hurting people and...and sometimes about...killing myself. I don't know how much more I can take, Y/N. I don't know."

"Did you tell your dad? Rose? Sarah? Anyone?" You asked.

"I told my dad, but he just told me to man up and get my shit together." Rafe sniffed.

You nodded. "I think...I think it's time to go to the hospital and get you some psychiatric help."

"What?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Rafe, I've known you needed help for a long time, but I needed you to realize you're not okay and that you need help. I can't get you help you unless you want to help yourself." You responded.

"I-I can't go to the hospital. What about all the business we have to take care of here? What about my dad? What—What about you? I can't protect you and be there for you if I'm in the hospital." Rafe replied.

"Oh, Rafe. I know you love your dad and you love me and want to take care of me, but it's time to take care of yourself. You need to take care of yourself before you can take care of me. Come on, baby, let's go."

He let out a shaky breathe and nodded.

"Okay."

"Okay. Let's go pack some stuff."

The two of you packed some of Rafe's things and made your way to the hospital. After being evaluated, it was decided that Rafe would be sent to a mental hospital for about two weeks, but if he needed longer, they'd keep him.

You and Rafe were now in the the hospital room waiting for him to be transported.

"Okay. We're going to transport you now, Mr. Cameron." The nurse said as she came into the room.

Rafe looked over at you and tears came to his eyes.

"It's okay, baby, it's okay. I'm going to visit you everyday. Everyday. I promise." You promise.

He nodded.

"Are you ready, Mr. Cameron?" The nurse asked.

"Just one moment." He said and turned to you. "Come here."

You walked over and he wrapped his arms around you. The two of you stood like that for a minute or so before you pulled away and gave him a kiss.

"Bye, Rafe. I love you."

"I love you too."

The nurse then wheeled him out of the room and he stared at you until he was gone.

That's when you stared to cry. You wanted to be strong for Rafe, but it was still heartbreaking to see him this way.

Although you wanted him to stay with you, you knew this is what he needs and you're glad he's getting help.

This is what should've happened in the show after he told Ward that he wasn't okay and I stand by that.
