Dark side.

Cornered

Rafe Cameron's POV

Everyone went next door for some bbq.
I stayed in the beach house next door waiting for Grayson and Liv to walk through. More importantly Liv.
As they walked in laughing, I sat there. Waiting for them to notice me.
When they did They soon stopped going along in lala land. That's for sure.
"Everyone's next door" I stand up from the sofa, walking round so I'm directly in front of them both.

"Leave Grayson" I told him plainly, he scoffs at me. I wanted to beat him black and blue so bad-
I stepped forward ready to do so until Liv stepped in front of me, hand on my chest as she pushed me to step back.
"Go- I'll meet you there. I need to wash up" she points to herself and then her dress as she spoke to Grayson.
"Are you sure?" He almost whispers, what the hell? Why was he acting like I'm son crazy asshole who's gunna hurt her.

"She's sure. Now beat it" I click my tongue as I speak and he narrows his eyes at me in annoyance.
"Seriously it's all good Gray" she smiled as he turned around slowly, giving her a small nod as he left.
"Have fun?" My jaw clenched as I spoke, instantly directing my rage back onto her now he left.
"Yes. I did" she turned round holding her hands out almost shrugging.
"I bet." I suck in a breath, my voice filled with jealousy and pettiness.

"What's your problem? You slept with someone else- you didn't see me acting like how you are right now! All I've done is gone out with a friend." Her lips pushed together as she spoke, god I wanted her so bad.
"Friend? He wants to fuck you" I chuckle at the mere suggestion of Grayson only being her 'friend'

"Oh sorry I forgot- your the only one allowed to do that? Right? Is that what you also told Tracy?" As soon as it came out her mouth I wanted to disappear.
"What?"

Liv's POV

"What?" He swallowed slowly, his eyes almost glazed with glass as he looked at me with genuine betrayal.
"Tracy Lampsure. You took her virginity right? Then  bragged about it. You didn't care about her" I pointed my finger into his chest as he stood there like stone.
"That's not what happened. You don't know anything about Tracy" he shook his head so furiously that it might but pop off.
"No- you know nothing about Tracy. You didn't care to know her either. You only cared about one thing. Isn't that right?" my brows scrunched in utter disgust.

That's when he slapped my hand away, that was pointing at his chest. Grabbing it as he pulled me up closer to his face.
"Speak about her again I'll cut Grayson's tongue out" he let go, letting my heels hit the floor again. Grayson's tongue? Not mine? I said it. Why punish Grayson.
"What- don't tell me you loved her? Your not capable" I couldn't help but laugh at him as he walked away.
He soon turned back once he knew I wasn't leaving this conversation anytime soon.

"She told everyone that I took her virginity. That's not what happened" his hand slapped down on the table in frustration.
His fist clenching on the table, knuckles going white as he slows his breathing.
"Then what happened? Were you somehow the hero of this story? How convenient" my voice was a little slower, to much sun and to many cocktails.

"It was at a party- I was drunk and she didn't want to go into her last year of high school a Virgin. So when I was half passed out on some sofa she took it upon herself so take what I refused to give her. I didn't brag about it! She did. She made
up lies! I never-" his face was red with anger, his voice so loud it echoed round The room like a broken record.
"Why do you think that I was so mad at what happened at the party with that asshole? Because you 'belong' to me? You don't belong to me. You never did you never will" my throat ached as he spoke.

I'd never seen Rafe so- truthful.
"I wouldn't of believed my 'friends' ridiculous gossip without asking you If it was true. I wouldn't accuse you!" He started to laugh at me, like he was done. With whatever this was.
"You thought I slept with your brother! You accused me. So don't stand here and say you wouldn't do that" i couldn't help but hold my arms out in frustration.
"I asked you. I didn't accuse you. There's a difference. One you clearly don't understand" he held the bridge of his nose as he leaned back against the counter top.

"Ok I'm sorry. But I won't apologise for going out today or not treating you with the most utter respect when you don't respect me at all!" Huffing I step back, ready to leave this conversation.
"I didn't sleep with Emma" he blurts out, his eyes widen like he wasn't meant to say that out loud.
"What? I saw you with her-" what he just said couldn't be true, I refused to believe him.

"She came over and when it actually came down to doing it I couldn't" he bites the inside of his cheek, sighing a little as he stalks towards me slowly.
So slowly like if he went any slower I wouldn't be able to see him moving.
"Why? You acted like you had? So why-" I couldn't understand, why couldn't he sleep with her and why did he act like he did if he didn't.

"Because all I could think about when she leaned in to kiss me was you. That's why!" He was close to me, I could feel his body heat.
His voice raised like he was angry at me.
"Then why do you treat me so foul!" My eyes scrunch up in frustration, I didn't know what he wanted from me.
"Because you listen to everyone else except for me. You go to the party with Grayson because he said it would be fun, you listen to him spill lies about me and believe them. I don't know why I can't fuck other women trust me- it would be a lot easier if I could." His breath fans my face as it flushed.

"I'd rather fuck other women. But hear I am with you yet again" his words stung slightly but I didn't let it show I stood there and took it.
"That isn't my problem. You were the one who told Gray to leave- not me" my brows as I recalled his words a few moments ago.
"Do you like him?" His head tilts as he questions me, his voice lowering, as if he was trying to disguise his True Tone.
"No" it was sad to admit, Grayson was a good choice. He was always kind to me, never treated me poorly and respected me.
But I didn't like him how I should.

"Why'd you lie- I accused you of fucking Emma and you didn't deny it. You only made me believe you did. I want to know why" that's when he grabbed the side of my face, stucking a strand of my hair behind me ear.
"Because I like when your all jealous" his voice was a whisper and I finally lost it.
Pushing him away from me "why- why all of a sudden have you showed interest. Before you barely paid attention to me and if you did it would be to insult me. Your acting strange" I didn't like what was happening between us at all.

It made me feel out of control.
He stumbles back from me, his face flushed with anger.
"You think I like this?! Like that I can't even get hard for other women huh? I've never fucking liked you. To be honest I've always thought you were to up yourself. But here I am. Killing people for you. I must have lost my mind" he almost laughed at himself for what he was saying.
"I never asked you to do that! Stop saying it was for me! I don't want any part of this!" I start pushing his chest repeatedly.

He grabs my wrists Turing me round so my back is to his chest.
I try squirm and kick out of his grip but it was no use.
"Calm down" he spoke with a hushed voice. Tears stream down my cheeks, I want him to take this away. Take away what's been happening between us for the last few weeks.
"No- stop" I cry out as he turns me back round, letting go as he steps back from me.

"I fucking like you. I like that you care about things and that I don't. I want what your hiding from me. Whatever it is- I want all of you. It's selfish and I don't know why I feel this way. Trust me I'd rather not" he snarls at me as he sits on the back of the sofa, hands running down his face.
"I'm not hiding anything!" I lie obviously, there was more then my job that I was hiding.

"Yes you are. You think I'm stupid?" His gaze at me and i only just realised that his eyes have a small bit of green in them.
"You really want me to answer that?" My shoulders shrug as my arms cross over my chest.
"Funny. Really funny" he scoffs looking away from me.
"What do you want Rafe- I can't keep doing this. You acting like this? Acting out when I look in another man's direction. I can't." My Throat burned as I swallow down the last of dignity I had left.

"I want you. I want all your firsts all to myself. I want you to be kind with me- how your with Greyson and Elijah. I want you to give me the same Liv that you give to your friends" my mouth hung open a little, he didn't know my friends. I had very few. But that wasn't what I was hooked on.
He wanted me to be with him-
"I can't do that. You need to leave me alone. I don't want what you've done to people come back and affect me or Top" my chest felt like it was caving, almost as if I was wedge underneath a rock.

"You want everything between us to just-" Rafe stood up and I finish the sentence off for him.
So he knew where I stood "be gone. Yes. Non-existent even" I blink a little and he nods, he bites the inside of his cheek like he's trying to control himself.
Without a word he walks past me and out of the house.
I couldn't have what he's done affect me or Topper. I had a job and other things that are important to me .
I can't have Rafe screw that up just for a fuck.
