Rafe POV:

"Yoo, country club!" Barry greets me but Nessa doesn't even look in my direction, instead she walks away. I've fucked it big time. My girlfriend won't even look at me because of a mistake that happened over a year ago that has come back and bit me on the ass. "There goes your little girlfriend. What's wrong? Lovers tiff?" He taunts.

"Nah man, not my girlfriend." Thing is I don't have a clue what we are right now. Not after she walked out on me this morning. I want nothing more than to scream to the world that she's mine, all mine, but I can't.

"Damn, she's so fine. I think I might..."

"Don't you fucking dare." I growl warningly pointing at him. He laughs knowing he's successfully pushed my buttons shoving my hand out of his face.

"Chill, Rafe bro. I know she's yours, I aren't about to steal her from you." He assures me. As if he could. "Anyways, I'm off for a smoke. I'll see you later, right?" Knowing exactly what he's talking about, I nod before he stalks off leaving me stood alone.

I aren't alone for longer than 30 seconds when I'm joined by... Kie.

"Rafe, hey." She greets me subtly.

I up nod. "Kie, what's up?" Confused why she's even come up to talk to me.

"I just wanted to know if you got my text this morning." She twirls her hair round her finger, smiling at me sheepishly. The mention of her text which has ruined everything between me and nessa makes me clench my jaw.

"Yeah I got it and about that..."

"I just can't stop thinking about us. I like you so much Rafe." She interrupts me, making me almost speechless.

I chuckle nervously, confused how she came to this conclusion. "What? Why?"

She laughs making herself snort as she nudges my arm. "What do you mean why, are you kidding? Do you not remember sleeping together?" She grins like the one time it happened should be burned into my memory as if it was the best sex of my life. Truth is, it was just a quick shag for me. Nothing more. It was over in minutes. I was high, drunk and horny. Kie just happened to be there and willing. I imagined Nessa the entire time, every single girl I've ever been with I've always imagined her. I've regretted it ever since knowing Kie is best friends with my Nessa. Praying Ness would never find out because it might change her mind on wanting to be with me.

"Yeah listen Kie, about that..."

"I think we should do it again." She blurts out interrupting me again. Shit, now I am speechless. I am about to shut her down when shouting and chanting sounds from across the beach.

Vanessa's POV:

"Hey, you okay?" He seems pleased to see me when I perch on the trunk beside him.

"Yeah, I'm doing alright. You?" I try not to sound too concerned, but JJ being quiet isn't normal.

"Lost my buzz." He admits what I already know.

"Yeah me too. Where is everyone?" I wonder why he's sat alone. Wherever JJ is, the pogues aren't far to follow.

"Well Pope has found a girl who is actually interested in listening to his history lessons. John B has scored with a girl somewhere round here. And Kie is surprisingly stood near the bonfire with Rafe."

My heart sinks to my feet and I feel the colour drain from my face, my head snaps in the direction of the bonfire. "What?" My eyes fall on Rafe and Kie stood face to face with their drinks in hand both laughing and smiling with each other. She puts her hand on him pretending to shove him away playfully. Why does he look so happy talking to her? Yeah right, Rafe; doesn't look like nothing to me.

"V, what's up?" JJ must've noticed my face drop because I can feel him eyeing me suspiciously from my reaction.

"Nothing." I croak, my throat ridiculously dry. "Have you seen Sarah?" I try to distract myself and JJ.

"Yeah, she's over there with Topper." He points past me and I follow the direction, our eyes falling on my best friend. Sarah and Topper seem to be arguing, bad. Another girl is stood with them.

Sarah looks ready to fight. "Shit! JJ, quick!" He follows me as I get up and race over to the already unfolding drama.

"-are you fucking kidding me Topper! I fucking hate you!" Sarah has tear stained cheeks as she screams at my brother. She whacks his chest, her face burning red with anger.

"Don't you hit him!" The kook girl I'm unfamiliar with scolds my best friend. Oh noo she did not.

"Woah, what's happened?" I put my hand on Sarah's shoulder in comfort. I know she's not the one in the wrong here, I just know.

"Why don't you ask your dirty cheat of a brother! He fucking cheated on me, V!" She sobs into my chest.

"Seriously! Topper what the fuck?" I look to my brother in disbelief, holding Sarah tightly.

"It's no-none of you-your fucking business Vanessa." He slurs. He's drunk.

"You're disgusting!" I yell at him. The crowd around us increasing by the second.

"Don't talk to him like that!" The girl I've never met in my life hisses at me.

"Who the fuck are you!" I bite back. "Don't worry Sarah, the fucking idiot just downgraded." I look the tall red headed girl up and down in disgust.

"You want to say that to my face!" She squares up to me, the girl having atleast a foot on me. Sarah pulls away.

"Well I wasn't talking to your big ugly man hands, was I?" She scoffs before shoving me backwards. I lose my footing and just as I'm about to hit the floor JJ catches me. The girl is looking at Topper for some praise.

I don't even hesitate before side blinding her and she crashes to the sand. I straddle her on the ground holding her arms down with my knees, punching her again and again. Blood spurts down her face. I go to hit her again when I am dragged from her limp body and thrown over a shoulder. I don't even need to look to know who's shoulder it is.
