Rafe x Reader-One Thing Right

This is based off of the song One Thing Right by Kane Brown and Marshmellow! I do not own this song!

I am walking down the Cameron's driveway at a fast pace. I am finally done with Rafe. I should've just listened to the Pouges. They told me he is bad news. They said he isn't trustworthy and I just ignored them. I feel so stupid that I thought he could love someone but I fell for him so hard. I grab my bike by the front gate and start to pedal away.

"Y/n! Wait! Please!" Rafe calls from behind me.

I don't turn my head but I can tell he is running to stop me. Rafe gets in my way so I can't leave.

"Rafe, get out of my way! I told you I can't do this anymore!" I yell at him.

"No, please, Y/n, I need you to listen to me! Please, just listen!"

"I have listened to you so many times and all you have done is lie!"

I get off of the bike and push him away from me. He backs up a little more.

"Y/n, please, I need you to listen to me." Rafe pleads.

"Why should I listen?" I huff out as I cross my arms over my chest.

"Because..... because I need you to."

I look into his eyes and I can see the genuine there.

"Okay, you have 5 minutes."

"Thank you." He whispers.

I give him a look that says 'go on'.

"I-I've cheated and I've lied. I've broke down and I've cried. I've got nothing to hide no more. I've loved and I've hurt. Broken people down with words. You've given me more grace than I deserve, for sure. I've known to be crazy. I've known to be wild. Mama had herself a little devilish child. I ain't no stranger to troubles at my door. I've been at the wrong place at the wrong time. Chasing all the wrong things most of my life. Been every kinda lost that you can't find but I got one thing right. Been the kind of guy girls mama's don't like. Running with the wrong crowd on the wrong nights. Cause I've been wrong about a million times but I got one thing right....... you..."

I just look at him as he rants out of genuine.

"Please, don't go. I can change." I whispers with his eyes glistening with tears.

I walk up to him and put my hands on his face.

"I'm not going anywhere."

A smile spreads on his face as one spreads on mine. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me into a hug.

"I love you." He whispers.

"I love you more and leaving you would've been a ****ing pain."

Rafe chuckles.

"Yeah, it would of."

**5 Years Later**

**Rafe POV**

"Hey, Rafe?" Sarah asks as she sits down on the couch across from the chair I am sitting in.

"Yeah."

I put my phone down on my chest and put my hands behind my head.

"I love Y/n so much but I was wondering...... how did you end up staying with her? You have dated so many girls before her and yet you stayed with the one you should have never been with. Why her?" Sarah isn't hating on Y/n, I can tell, she is just curious.

"Well, it took me a while to figure out why I have loved her too but I figured it out."

"Well, why?"

"She saw right through all my pain. She kept patient while I changed. It never even crossed her mind to walk away again. When I was getting crazy, reckless, and wild and acting like my mama's little devilish chid, it took a heart like hers to find my place. I've been at the wrong place at the wrong time. I've been chasing all the wrong things most of my life. I've been the every kinda lost that you can't find but I go one thing right. I've been the kind of guy girls mama's don't like and running with the wrong crowd on the wrong nights. Cause I've been wrong about a million times but I got one thing right. Her."

A smile spreads on Sarah's face as she watches me explain Y/n. She knew I liked her before I even realized it. Sarah was the one that got us together and I can't thank her enough for it.

"You are perfect for each other." Sarah says.

"She is my perfect." I whisper as I look over to Y/n talking with the other Pouges.

Y/n looks over at me as if she feels my eyes on her. She gives me her beautiful smile that I fell for. I smile back at her.

I love this woman.......
