Love's Labyrinth (Book 2) || A Rafe Cameron Fanfiction

Chapter 11

The second Raven had touched down on the private runway on figure at a pit opened in her gut. She let took a shaky breath then got out of the plane, her duffle bag draped over her shoulder.

"I'm home," She whispered to herself, walking off the runway into the grass.

She knew that The Chateau wasn't far from the runway, she had only known that because when her and John B were kids they'd jump the fence to see if they could race the Kooks planes. Her body felt heavy as she walked, the air was thick, storm clouds wete rumbling in.

"RAVEN?" She heard a familiar voice, then noticed a familiar dirt bike, "Holy fucking shit Rave, why are you here?"

"Have you seen Sarah?"

"She's at the Chateau with everyone else- Raven what the fuck happened you can be here Ward is gonna-"

"Ward is in Mexico, he knew we were there, JJ I need to talk to Sarah," Raven's eyes wheld with tears and he nodded.

"Get on," He motioned towards the bike and she nodded, getting on the back.

He sped to the Chateau, skidding into the driveway, the turning off the bike quickly.

"Raven?" John B stood up quickly, then she just broke down, "Holy fuck what is going on?"

"Wards in Mexico, he knew where Rafe and Raven were, he was gonna go after her, after them, but she had called me sayong she needed to come back."

"He broke up with me," Raven dropped her duffle bag in the yard, Sarah running to her.

"Raven I'm so sorry," Sarah hugged the crying girl tightly, Raven just crying into her neck.

"Raven-" John B quickly hugged his sister, his hand rubbed her back as she cried.

"WHY DID HE BREAK UP WITH YOU!? I'M GOING TO KILL HIM," Sarah yelled and Raven just looked at her.

"because I told him he was running from the problem when he told me to come back to OBX," Raven sniffed, wiping her nose.

"Well you're not fucking wrong," Sarah hugged her tight again, holding her close.

"He had anger in his eyes, the same anger I would see whenever I even looked his way a year ago," Ravens heart broke again just thinking about him.

How could someone she love more than anyone in the world, hate her again in a matter of seconds. Rafe was pacing around the house trying to hide everything that could remind him of Raven but he couldn't. Everything reminded him of her, from the books in the library to the curtains in the kitchen, every single thing was haunted by her. He didn't really want her to leave he could live with himself that she had left, he needed her to keep breathing, she was his life, and he pushed her away.

"Do you need to stay here? I want you to be as safe as possible, would it be too obvious that you're here? How about if you stayed with Pope or Kie?"

"He never knew we made up, if I stay here it would be the last place he'd look," Raven looked at her brother with hurt in her eyes.

All she wanted to do was to run back to Rafe he was all she had known for the past ten months, from the second that he touched her, she knew she would crave him for eternity. She let more tears fall as thunder rumbled in the distance.

"Let's get you inside, then we'll talk more about what's going on, alright?" John B led her inside, Sarah attached to her hip, not wanting to leave her side.

"Did he say anything to you? Other than telling you to leave?"

"He told me he was trying to keep me safe and then I told him I wasn't leaving and that's when he told me I had to because he was breaking up with me," Raven sniffed, placing her bag down in her bedroom.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Sarah sighed, giving Raven a sympathetic smile.

She just shook her head no, then crawled to the center on her bed, her legs up to her chest.

"You call for me if you need anything, alright?" Sarah sighed and Raven just nodded in return.

She felt herself withering away, but she also caught herself filling with anger. She was pissed that it was just so easy to leave her, like everything he had said to her was a lie. Nothing Rafe had said to her was a lie, at this moment he was sitting on the back porch of the house, a blunt burning away between his finger tips, he was trying to numb himself, trying to not think about Raven even though she was all he cared about. He had thought he was doing the right thing but the way she talked to him, it made him fill with anger. He put the blunt out on his hand and winced from the pain of it, then set it down walking back inside. He had always promised Raven that he would stop putting out blunts and cigarettes on his hand or arm because it was a form of self harm, but she was gone now, so it didn't matter. He had walked into the living room, then took down the photos of him and Raven, he wasn't getting rid of them though, they were in a closet, just in case maybe they would find each other again. His phone was sitting on the side table next to the couch, like it was taunting him. He wanted to call her and tell her that he fucked up, that he was stupid, that she needed to come back so he could protect her, tell her that she was right.

"Raven, it's been a few hours and I know you haven't eaten anything," John B quietly spoke to her, like she was a.scared animal.

"I'm not hungry," She was still in the same position from when she first entered the room.

Her knees to her chest while her head rested on them, her face was streaked with tears, she couldn't even cry anymore.

"I'll leave this for you then," He had left a take out box from The Wreck on her dresser and she just nodded.

She couldn't move any other than just a nod, she wished he would call, she wanted to call him. She wished he would tell her to come back because she would that second, she wished he'd tell her how much he needed her like she needs him, how she needs him to even get through the day, how she'd rather be fucking dead than in his arms. She wanted to be dead right now, that's the only thing that could take away the hurt that she's feeling.
