Rafe walks up to Sofia at a party with a drink in hand. "Hey Sofia, you finally decided to grace us with your presence. It's about time."She look at him annoyed "Oh fuck off" She says as she walk away and start dancing with a guy. his hands go to my thighs and he starts kissing her neck.

Rafe watches from afar, his jaw clenching in anger as he sees Sofia with someone else. He downs his drink and calmly walks over to her, pulling her away from the guy. "Don't let him touch you like that. He's not worth it. Come with me." He leads her to a more private area, his grip firm but gentle on her arm. " What are you doing? you can't just let some random guy all over you like that." Rafe looks at Sofia with concern. "Why do you care,  it's not like your my boyfriend or some shit"

She says pulling her arm out of his grip. "Because I care, Sofia, you may not realize it, but I do, and it doesn't take a label to care about someone's well being." He holds her gaze sincerity and concern in his eyes. "Now, answer my question. why are you letting some guy touch you like that?" She looks at him angrily. "Because i can" She walks away from rafe.

Rafe clenches his fists as he watches Sofia walk away, feeling frustrated and hurt by her rejection." You can do whatever you want, Sofia, but you don't have to settle for some random guy feeling you up." He takes a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. " I'm here if you ever want someone who actually cares about you"

He turns and walks away, feeling a mixture of anger and disappointment. After a few too many drinks. Sofia decides to walk home very drunk. Rafe, who had been keeping an eye on Sofia the whole night, sees her drunkenly stumbling home. He follows her, making sure she gets home safely. As Sofia fumbles with her keys, Rafe approaches her. "Need some help?"

He takes the keys from her and unlocks the door, guiding her inside. "I can't believe you got this drunk at a party surrounded by people you barely know."

He notices a tear rolling down your cheek. "What's wrong?" He gently wipes the tear away. "You know you can talk to me, right? even though we may not always see eye to eye."

"Nothing i'm fine." She slurs her words together as she stumbles up the stairs to her  room. Rafe helps Sofia to her room, a worried expression on his face. "you're not fine, Sofia. you're drunk and upset." He sits her down on her bed. " Let me get you some water and then we can talk, okay?" He brings a glass of water and sits next to her. "Now tell me what's going on. I'm here for you, always."

"Nothings going on, I'm fine, rafe." She takes a drink of the water.

Rafe looks at Sofia, not believing her words. "You can't lie to me, Sofia. I know there's something bothering you." he grabs her hand gently. "Please, talk to me. I want to help."

She hears her dad come out of his room and start walking towards her room. "Shit."  She gets up and pushes Rafe into her closet."Don't come out till i say. " She closes the door as Her dad walks in. "Where the hell have you been?" He says yelling.  "I was at a friend's house and I lost track of time." Her dad grabs her hair and slaps Sofia in the face. "Don't fucking lie to me." He yells. "i'm not i promise." He throws Sofia up against the closet doors before slamming her bedroom door shut as he leaves. Rafe hears the commotion and gets worried, quickly sneaking out of the closet and going to Sofia's side. "Are you okay?" He sees her crying and gently embraces her. "i can't stand seeing you like this"

He kisses her forehead. "Let me take you away from all of this, Sofia. I  can't bear to see you suffer like this."

"No." Sofia shakes her head as she gets up and goes into her bathroom. She starts to clean up the cut on her face from her dads ring when he slapped her.

Rafe walks into the bathroom after her, his heart breaking at the sight of her injured face. He  gently touches her face, inspecting the cut. "I can't believe your dad would do this to you. you deserve so much better."  He takes a deep breath and looks at her in the eyes. "Please, come with me. We can leave together and start a new life away from all of this. Away from your father's abuse."

He holds out his hand. "Just say the word and I'll take you away from here, Sofia. I promise to always protect you." Rafe takes the first aid kit from her gently and starts cleaning her wound with utmost care. "You deserve so much better than this, Sofia please, let me take you away from here. I can't stand seeing you suffer any longer. Just say the word and I'll take you away from this toxic place."

"Rafe i can't leave." Sofia says as Rafe cleans her cut. " Sofia, please listen to me. you don't deserve to be treated like this. you deserve someone who loves and cherishes you, not someone who brings you pain. Please consider coming with me, I promise I'll take care of you and protect you." She shakes her head no. "I know it's scary, but please trust me. Let me help you. I can't bear to see you hurt like this. you're not alone anymore Sofia, i'm here for you."

He gently wipes away a tear from her cheek. "Will you give me a chance to show you what it feels like to be loved?" He pleads with her. "I can't leave Rafe the last time I did. I ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks and he packed up my life and moved us here." Sofia says as she walks back into my bedroom

"I know it's been hard, but I promise I won't let anything happen to you. We can take things slow and plan it out carefully. Your safety and well being are my highest priority, Sofia. Let me be there to support you through this." She shakes her head no as she gets into bed.

"Okay, I understand that you are not ready to leave yet. Just know that I am here for you whenever you are ready, Sofia. goodnight and sweet dreams." He sneaks out of Sofia's room and out of the house as she cries herself to sleep.
