Little Dove - Rafe Cameron story

Valerie

Me and Sarah went shopping she wanted us matching so we are both wearing white dresses. Leno is happy I started hanging out with Sarah again. I miss our friendship but I need to see what Rafe is hiding from everyone.

I'm sitting in Sarah's bedroom. She's downstairs talking to her dad. I stare at the bathroom door. She made me eat toast and I can't have that. I walk to the bathroom and sit on the floor fixing the dress so it's not in my way and throw up. The one piece of toast comes out and I get rid of the water I've been drinking and everything in my system. The dress feels tighter and that means I have weight.

I lay my head on the toilet seat and breathe catching my breath. I look up and Sarah's staring at me. I lift my head up. "Val?" I shake my head. "I'm just feeling alittle sick that's it Sar." She stares at me. "You made yourself throw up tho..." I shake my head.

"I'm really feeling sick..." She looks back and then at me. "If you don't wanna go it's fine.." I stand up to fast for my body and I get dizzy again. I hold onto the counter. "I'm fine...really I can go.." She looks at me and nods her head. "Well brush your teeth cause we are leaving in five minutes Val." I nod my head and she walks away.

We walk in together. Sarah ended up taking Topper as her date so I'm on the side again. I'm scared she's gonna find out that I'm not eating and ruin my plans to be pretty. I can't deal with that.

I'm staring at the floor not really wanting to socialize. I have my hair in a side ponytail cause that's what Sarah wanted so I stop hiding in between my hair. "Val." I turn around and look up. Rafe. He walks up to me and I smile lightly at him. "Hey Rafe..." He looks at me. "You look pretty." I shake my head. "T-thanks but no..." He shrugs.

He has on a suit and tie. I grab his hand and he moves in front of me. "You look g-good." He smiles at me. "That's the first nice thing you've said to me." I roll my eyes. "In a g-giving m—mood." He nods his head. I look down at our hands. There's little blood spots on the white part of his shirt. I look up quickly so he doesn't notice. He moves his hand to my cheek.

I stare into his eyes. This is a lot. "You are pretty Valerie....you look like a little dove right now." I squish my face into disgust and laugh lightly. "Ew n-no." He smiles brightly. "Yes your a little dove." I shake my head. "N-no" He nods his head. His hands go down to my waist. "Say yes or I'm doing something you will regret." I stare at his face. He takes that as an answer.

He starts tickling me on my sides. I bite my lip to keep me from laughing but it gets to much and I wrap my arms around his neck and he keeps tickling me making me almost fall over every time. He's laughing with me.

"Come on Val! Say yes you are!" I shake my head. "I'm n—n-not!" He keeps laughing and going till there's a cough. We pull away and look over seeing my brother. "Val I think it's time to go." I look at Rafe and he's looking down scratching his arm. I look back at my brother. "I'm fine. I was go-gonna go home -with s-Sarah." He grabs my arm. "Now." I try and pull away but he has a grip on my arm.

I look back at Rafe and he looks sad. He turns around and walks away. I was actually having fun and Leno had to ruin it like he always does. He throws me into the car and I try to get out but he put child lock on. "I remember when you jumped out at 13." I roll my eyes and sit back. "Sarah told me about you in the bathroom she's worried." I sigh of course she did.

I look at my brother. "I was feeling alittle sick that's all!" He shakes his head. "You felt fine just now flirting with my best friend." I roll my eyes. "And you shouldn't care about my life." He looks at me in the mirror. "When it effects my life then I do care." I stare at him in shock. "So your embarrassed of me!" He shake his head. "I didn't mean it like that Val." I roll my eyes. "Fuck you Leno." He sighs and pulls into the house.

"Don't bother telling mom and dad. I was feeling sick and took medicine from Sarah and felt better that's why I was supposedly flirting with your best friend." He rolls his eyes and nods his head.

I walk to my room. After a few hours Leno leaves and my dad walks into my room. "Where's your brother?" I shrug. "H-he left.." My dad pulls my hair making me fall off my bed and he kicks me over and over till blood is coming out my mouth. He walks away and i go into my bathroom spiting in the toilet.

I end up throwing up. All it was, was blood. I lay down on the bathroom floor holding my stomach. I had one moment of happiness. And that was with Rafe crazy enough that he could be a nice guy. But I know tomorrow he's gonna be the same mean Rafe he is. So i can't hold my breath.

But I do enjoy the Rafe I saw today. It made me feel wanted and cared about and actually showed that someone likes being around me. Hopefully I can grow more of a relationship with Rafe...
