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

Chapter 12

People had kept checking on her, it was like they were in rotation, it was almost like clockwork until Pope would come in a couple minutes later than the others, they would all ask her the same thing, was she okay? Did she need anything? She knew they were just trying to help her get through her coming back, but it was hopeless. Raven hadn't slept, she just sat and stared at the blank wall in front of her.

"Okay, you need to eat something, you haven't touched that food," John B looked came in and she didn't answer, "Raven-"

"FINE, JOHN, FINE," She yelled in response, then realized she had yelled at him, "John B I'm s-"

"Fucking starve," He slammed the door shut and she flopped back on the bed, sighing.

There was a knock and the door right after John B had left and it cracked open, revealing Sarah.

"Can I come in?"

Raven just nodded in response, Sarah coming in with the food that was on her dresser, on a plate, steam streaming off of it.

"Eat," She handed Raven the plate and she nodded, slowly taking the plate, "You want to finally really talk about how your feeling?"

"I don't have any feelings right now," Raven spoke blankly, "I stopped having feelings the second I walked out that fucking door," She took a small bite out of a french fry, wanting to throw up instantly.

"He called me," Sarah sighed, and Raven quickly lifted her head.

"What did he- What did he want?"

"He's losing it," Sarah sighed, Raven's heart dropped.

"Good," She moved the plate to the bedside table, then laid back.

"You can't just eat half a french fry."

"Watch me," Raven replied blankly, causing Sarah to sigh.

She had left the room without saying anything, leaving Raven by herself again. She had opened her phone, but there was nothing but the photo of her and Rafe staring back at her. She threw her phone across the room as tears running down her face. Rafe was sitting on the front steps of the house in Mexico, but he didn't know why. There was a part of him that was waiting for Raven to come back, he could hold her in his arms again, tell her that he missed her, that he hasn't breathed sine he left. He took his phone out of his pocket, then stared at his phone screen. He wanted to call her and tell her to come home but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"SHIT," His voice could probably be heard half way down the beach, he let a couple years fall before taking a deep breath.

He had opened his phone log and clicked on Sarah's contact, this was the seventh time he had called her today, hoping he could hear Raven in the background in some way. Sarah had picked up the phone almost instantly, a sigh of relief had escaping Rafe.

"What Rafe," Sarah asked and he shrugged like she could see.

"Is she okay?"

"No Rafe she's not okay," Sarah sighed and he could hear footsteps, "Hold on."

"Is that him?" Raven's voice sounded through the phone, causing his heart to sink.

"I'm surprised you're out of your bed," Sarah's voice was different with Raven, rightfully so.

"Is that him," Raven just repeated herself, Rafe's heart was going to fly out of its chest because of how hard it was beating.

"Yes, but-"

"Let me talk to him, please," Raven's voice had cracked and I heard the phone getting passed off, Rafe wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.

"Raven.." His voice was soft and he felt a tear falling down his face.

"After almost a year of doing nothing but love you, you throw me out like I'm some broken ass toy, like there is something wrong with me, like you don't love me," Her words hit him hard and he felt more tears fall.

"I fucked up Raven please-" He was cut off by her again.

"YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THAT AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FIXED RAFE, IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK THIS TIME," Raven yelled and the line disconnected.

Rafe threw his phone across the yard and rubbed his head. Raven handed Sarah's phone back to her as tears streamed down her face, causing Sarah to wrap her arms tightly around her. Raven cried into Sarah's arms, just letting it all out. She wished it was Rafe, but he was gone, and it fucking killed her inside. 

"Raven, come on," John B motioned for her to come inside and she just nodded.

She had walked back into her room, slamming the door behind her, then laid back in bed. It felt like ever since she left Mexico, time at stopped, she had stopped. She had stopped living, because she lived for him, she lived along side him, because she loved him. Rafe had grabbed his phone out of the patch of grass, then stormed into the house. He had walked to their room, then grabbed a suit case, to just start throwing stuff into it. He needed to get her back and that was what he was going to do. His face was tear stained but he didn't even care, all he cared about was getting back to OBX because he wasn't going to leave there without Raven. He practically ran out of the house to his car, not even bothering to buckle his seat belt as he sped out of the driveway. He had hit a contact on his phone as he drove, who almost picked up emmidately.

"YO COUNTRY CLUB, WHERE YOU BEEN?"

"I need a place to crash for a while," Rafe didn't even hesitate, causing Barry to laugh.

"You just gonna go ghost for months then expect me to let you stay at my house?"

"I'll pay you."

"How long you plan on staying?"

"Until I get Raven back."

"Yo the fuck happened to your girl?"

"None of your fucking business, let me stay at your place."

"Okay, fine, just like- don't steal my shit."

Rafe hung up right after Barry had said that because he had sped into the private airport, then parked his car. The plane was already waiting for him when he got there, so he got on trying not to waste any time.
