"It's time to talk, come on." The curly headed girl called for her boyfriend as she started to walk up the stairs to his room.
"I can't just leave Kelce here alone, let's just talk later." He suggested, afraid of not knowing what she was going to say.
"Nah man, I can go if she needs to talk." Kelce said putting his hands up.
"Pussy." Rafe whispered to his friend. Rhea wasn't a scary girl, but when she got angry it was something the boys feared since they were kids.
"Bye Kelce, we'll see you tonight at Toopers yeah?" Rhea asked, smiling down from the top of the stairs.
"Yeah, of course." he replied walking out of the Cameron household.
"Come on." Rhea's sweet voice was immediately changed back to her stern one as she continued to Rafes' room. She waited for a few seconds at his door until Rafe caught up. "Sit." She requested pointing at his bed which he obeyed "Are you still doing coke?" She ask straight to the point.
"Oh God, are you fucking serious Ray, this is what you're asking me after kicking our friend out?" He deflected the question.
"Rafe answer the fucking question, are you still doing coke?" He was silent. "So you lied to me when you said you quit, huh? Rafe answer me!"
"I've been doing just a little bit, it doesn't fucking matter!" he said looking around avoiding his girlfriend's angry eyes.
"Rafe you and you're dad just got into an argument because you've been acting like a child, your almost 20 and you're ruining your life! Are you serious? Coke? YOU SAID YOU QUIT! I'm worried about you, you've been acting different and more jittery and angry and Sarah told me you were still using, I didn't want to believe her but it's true."
"Well I don't know what you want me to say." Rafe said this every argument. But it didn't matter what she wanted him to say it mattered what he had to say.
"Something! Anything! Tell me you'll get better and that you'll quit because I don't want you to throw your life away." She cried hoping he would answer. This was her biggest problem, she always cried when she was angry.
"God you expect me to just quit, if I didn't have to listen to your constant complaining and bugging every God damn day then maybe I wouldn't need coke!" He screamed into her face standing up.
Those words really hurt her, was that true? Was she the reason he started using? "You don't mean that." She said with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, I do. You say you love me but if you really did, you would love me for all I am, you wouldn't care about this because you would still love me...do you even love me anymore? You don't do you?" He guilted her, made her think it was all her fault. That's was his way of winning every argument the two had.
"That's not true Rafe, I love you so much that I don't want to see you get hurt, that's why I need you to stop." She pleaded with him. After what he said she forgot everything she had planned to say, did he really think she didn't love him?
"No. I don't want to talk to you about this anymore, get out." He pointed to his door.
"No, Rafe I'm sorry I take it back please just talk to me." She cried reaching to him.
"Leilani get the fuck out! I don't want to see you right now." he pushed her to his door as she balled, begging him to let her stay. "I'm not going to ask again. Get out. Before I throw you out." He finally spoke.
"I'm sorry." she muffled as she walked out in dispair.
