"JJ stop!" I put my hands on his shoulders trying to calm him down.

He throws my hands off him. Stepping back and pointing at me. "Don't fucking touch me Vanessa. You're a liar and a fucking idiot..."

Rafe shoves him but he manages to keep his balance. "Don't fucking talk to her like that." He hovers over JJ warningly.

JJ shakes his head, clenching his jaw before walking over to his bike. "I hope you're very happy together." He spits on the floor before swinging his leg over his bike and speeding off.

"What are you doing here Sarah!" Topper ignores everyone here and focuses on his ex who was watching JJ ride off.

"I'm with my friends." She showcases us all with her hand as if it should be obvious.

"Since when was you friends with pogues." He scoffs looking at my friends in disgust.

"Since they treat me better than my cheating ex boyfriend did!" She bites back stepping towards him.

"Get over yourself it's not like you loved me anyways, you always had wandering eyes." He glances at John B and then back at Sarah making it obvious who he's referring to.

"Are you for fucking real Topper, I swear to fucking god..." Sarah starts shouting and stomps towards Topper but I manage to grab her in time and hold her back.

Topper starts laughing cynically. "You might aswell have whore written on your forehead." He taunts. I'm about to go up and punch my own brother but John B storms ahead of me.

John B shoves him. "Don't call her that Topper!"

My brother looks almost ecstatic John B made the first move as he swings his fist and lands it straight on his cheek. John B holds his face before rugby tackling Topper and they both go crashing to the floor. Rolling around taking it in turns to have the upper hand.

"Aaand we're back to square one. Rafe, do you mind?" I look over at my supposed boyfriend who seems to be enjoying the pogue v kook fight.

He holds his hands up in surrender. "Not my problem."

I furrow my brows in frustration. "You know he just called your sister a whore?"

He looks between me and Sarah and shrugs. "She's a big girl, she can fight her own battles."

"Whatever." I shake my head and snap my head back to the two boys still rolling around on the ground.

I can feel Rafe's eyes on me. I bring my hand up to my neck, lightly pressing the bruises and pretending to wince at my touch.

I watch as Rafe paces forward grabbing Topper off of John B and bringing him to his feet throwing him back towards Kelce where Kelce holds on to him.

John B hurries to his feet and stands by Pope and Kiara struggling to meet my eyes as I look at them desperate for them to talk to me.

"Guys, please just talk to me." I beg, the painful lump in my throat growing big enough to prevent me from swallowing.

Kie looks up between me and Rafe. I can see the hurt in her eyes. "You two deserve each other." She hisses before heading for the twinkie.

"Pope?" I say hopeful he would accept me, Rafe and all. He doesn't reply or even look at me he shakes his head following in the direction of Kie.

"John B? You know you can't help who you fall in love with." He of all people should understand. He fell for Sarah even when she was with Topper.

"I know V, but they need me right now." He looks behind him to see Kie and Pope already in the Twinkie. "I need to find JJ."

"What about me?" I choke back my tears.

He glances behind me and then back to me. "You've got Rafe." Is the last thing he says before getting in the Twinkie.

I look to Sarah who has a sympathetic look on her face. "I'm sorry, I'll see you later V. I can't stay here with him." She jerks her head towards Topper before giving me a hug and following John B to the Twinkie. I watch them drive away.

"I can't believe you're fucking my best friend." Topper doesn't waste no time storming over to me.

"But it was okay when you was fucking mine?"

"I don't even know what Rafe is thinking, you must have some sort of blackmail over him." He looks me up and down in disgust. "You're nothing but a slut!"

All of a sudden my brother is on the floor holding his face after Rafe side blinded him. Kelce rushes to his side helping him up. "Fuck you both!" Topper holds up his middle finger as Kelce escorts him away.

Then there were two.

The silence is deafening as I stand looking at the ground feeling completely numb.

I feel a hand on my shoulder. "Are you okay?"

I step away from him. "Don't touch me Rafe."
He doesn't listen. He comes to stand in front of me lifting my chin to look at him.

He strokes his thumb on my neck. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." I bite.

"Are you mad at me?" He leans down planting a soft kiss on my cheek.

"Well I'm not over the moon with you." I chew on my lip, trying my best to stop myself from kissing him back.

"What did I do?" He slides his hand around my waist pulling me close to him. I don't fight it.

"For starters you ditched me after I'd just had a shit time with my dad, when it was meant to be our date day. Then I find you pinning down my best friend when I get here. Then you side blind my brother... the list goes on." I tell him barely taking a breath.

"Number 1, I didn't want you watching me beat up your brother. Number 2, he went for me first he's lucky I didn't lay him out. And number 3, he called you a slut and I wasn't having it." His tone calm as he argues his point.

"You're crazy, Rafe Cameron." I shake my head giving into the urges. I wrap my arms around his neck pulling his face down and pressing my lips against his.
