"You wanna go get breakfast?" Rafe wraps his arms around me, his chest flush to my back, he leans his head on my shoulder as we look at each other through the mirror.
The only place I can think about going is to see the pogues. I just want to be friends again, I want them to forgive me. I decide to take him up on his offer. "Yeah but can I choose where?"
"Of course babe. Where do you want to go?" He pecks a gentle kiss on my neck.
"The wreck?" I chew my lip and close my eyes expecting him to be mad or tell me no.
All of a sudden I feel a kiss on my cheek before he lets me go, coldness washes over me without him near. He smacks my ass. "Okay babe, get ready and we'll go." He disappears out the room.
I remain stood speechless, confused. Did Rafe just say yes to going to the wreck? I must be dreaming. I nip my arm. Nope, definitely not dreaming.
Pushing the thoughts to the back of my head, I start getting ready before Rafe can change his mind.
Rafe finally comes back in the room. "You ready?"
"Let's go." I tell him entwining my hands with his.
"You're so beautiful." He leans down and pecks my lips before leading me to his car.
We pull up to the wreck and I see the Twinkie in the parking lot. My stomach sinks with anxiety. What the hell am I supposed to say to them. What if they point blank refuse to talk to me.
"Are you sure you want to come in with me?" I turn to Rafe confused why he's so willing.
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Well I know you hate the pogues and they're in there, that's why I chose here for breakfast." I chew on my lip nervously waiting for his response.
He grins. "You believe I thought you picked the wreck for its food? Believe me I know why you picked it, Ness." He grabs my hand kissing the back. "I've seen how miserable you've been this past week without them so I'm prepared to try anything to sort out your relationship with them. I know how much they all mean to you." He tucks a loose strand of my hair behind my ear before stroking my cheek with his thumb.
I melt into his hand craving nothing but his touch, even when he was touching me it wasn't enough. I want to be impossibly closer.
"Rafe, that means so much to me. You mean so much to me. I love you." I gush confidently.
"I love you baby." We both lean in and meet lips, both smiling in the middle. "Now let's try and win your friends back."
He helps me out his car and we walk into the wreck together. I spot JJ and John B and they spot me. Kie is waitressing and she sees me as soon as the door closes behind us. I decide to bite the bullet and go straight over to the boys sliding in on the opposite side to them, Rafe follows.
"Hi." I breathe out nervously.
They both look between each other and back at me and Rafe without saying a word.
"Guys please talk to me. I'm sorry, okay?" I beg.
"We don't care that you fell in love with Rafe, V. We care that you lied to us. We're your best friends and you couldn't be honest with us." John B answers for the both of them, JJ chewing down on his lip angrily staring at Rafe.
"I know, I know! But you have to believe me when I say I felt like I couldn't tell you given the circumstances between you all? If I had been honest with you and told you, you can't tell me JJ and kie wouldn't have reacted the same?" I argue the knot growing in my throat.
We all look at JJ and he nods guiltily. "I can't help being protective, okay? We've been best friends since kindergarten. V, you know stuff about me that no one would ever know. As soon as I saw you with Rafe I just pictured you turning on us all, spilling our secrets, and losing you." He clenches his fist on the table.
My heart breaks at JJ's honesty. The knife twisting at him thinking I would ever turn on them. "JJ, I would never do that to you! I would never do that to any of you! This past week without you all has been the worst week of my life." I admit, tears threatening to prick the back of my eyes.
"Yeah it's been pretty shit without you too." John B smirks.
"Please forgive me? I'm so sorry. I love you all so much." I plead.
They look at each other before turning to me, a smile growing on their faces. "Welcome back V!" We all reach over the table participating in a three way hug.
As easy as it was to get John B and JJ to forgive me, it was going to be a lot harder to persuade Pope and Kie.
Pope suddenly appears at the side of the table.
"What's going on?" He looks between us all confusedly before slipping in beside John b.
"Pope. I just came to say I'm so sorry for lying to you and that I miss you." He nods with a quirky smile.
"Maybe you should be apologising to Kie." Is all he comes out with whilst glancing between me and Rafe. I see John B and JJ look at each other confused. Does Pope know Kie's secret? Why else would he come out with that.
I look up to see Kie walking towards the front door. Chewing the inside of my cheek as I think about how this conversation is gonna go down, I rush out of my seat and chase after Kie.
"Kie, please hear me out."
