Dark Clouds || Rafe Cameron || OBX

𝟟. Cheated

It has been a week since Wards death, everything seemed, peaceful? Of course there was a sense of sadness in Valerie, since she has known Ward half of her life.

Today was her birthday party, she turned 19. Kelce had told her that she shouldn't organise anything and that him, topper and Rafe were planning a surprise.

She was just on her way to Toppers house. Her ginger hair was curled, light makeup was splattered on her face. A thin coat of silver glitter covered her eyelids, and her red plump lips were the most visible thing on her. They matched her outfit. She was wearing a red top that almost looked like a bra, and a matching red skirt that revealed her thighs going along with a pair of black heals.

She pulled up to Toppers house, and even in her car she could already hear the loud music and the screaming kooks.

Once she got inside, she was greeted with multiple people wishing her a happy birthday. She smiled happily and thanked them before walking further into the house, trying to find her boyfriend.

Once she spotted him, she realised he was sat at a table with a bunch of half naked girls and some guys, including Rafe. Were they doing coke?
She walked up to them and sat on Kelce's lap. It didn't take her long to notice the large pupils he had.

"Hey Babe-" He spoke before gazing at her outfit. "Go change." He placed a stone cold expression on his face.

She leaned into his ear so he could hear her through the loud music. "What the hell has gotten into you? I can barely even recognise you anymore these days." She wasn't going to let him push her around like he wanted. This was her birthday, no body was going to stop her from doing what she wanted. "Stop being so insecure."

She watched his jaw clench and the anger form in his eyes. He gently pushed her off him, making sure she wouldn't fall, and then stormed off somewhere into the crowd.

Valerie scoffed before making her way to some of her friends that were dancing and moving to the music.

Rafe's eyes trailed Valerie's position, watching every inch of her movement. For the whole week he couldn't seem to get her out of his head. He watched as Valerie's hips glided to the music, laughing with her friends.

Her hair glistening under the colourful lights. He wished he could dance with her, hold her in his arms and feel her hips move against his, but he couldn't, he couldn't betray his best friend.

In the corner of his eye, he could see Kelce walk into one of the guest bedrooms with a short brunet. His throat began to burn at the thought of what he could be doing with the girl that followed him. He looked back at Valerie, however, she was gone.

"Shit." He cussed under his nose before leaving the table and getting up to go find her.

Valerie glanced at her phone, looking at the multiple messages from the pogues wishing her a happy birthday, she decided to ignore them for now, taking another sip from her alcohol. She wanted to find Kelce and spend some time with him but had the urge to use the bathroom first.

She hasn't been to Toppers house before so she didn't know where she was going. She opened the first door that was in her sight, locked. She moved on to the next door, but just as she was about to open it, Rafe jumped infront of her. "Hey, Val. Wanna go get a drink?." Rafe offered. "It'll be the best you ever had."
