Look at me

Chapter 23

The Pogues were now discussing about the diary and what Carlos said, but there was now a new problem. John B' father. JB said that he heard the same bells' sound very similar to the one that his father used to make when he was younger. No one believed him, until they found him. So JB and his father decided to stay together, while the Pogues had to leave.

Meanwhile Rafe and Jane found a way to come back home, even tho she was worried. "This is the house" said Rafe pointing at a huge house in front of the sea. Jane stopped for a second and looked at the place. "Don't worry" said Rafe with a soft voice "They won't see you. Follow me". She looked at the guy and she almost didn't recognize him. He was like the sweetest boy in the world who was doing anything for her.
"Here we are. This is my room" said the kook guy entering in a huge room, with also a bathroom. "God is this just yours?" said Jane shocked. "Yes" replied him laughing. "You are gonna stay here for some days and then we are leaving ok?". Jane didn't answer. She looked out of the window and didn't make a sound. "Is everything ok?" said Rafe worried. "I don't even know why I am here" said Jane turning around.
"After everything that you have done to me and my friends I jumped just for you. This is insane"
"Listen I know I've hurted you but I'm really sorry and I'm trying to fix everything"
"How? How do you wanna fix all the damage that you have caused. You are a murder" In that moment Rafe's eyes were filled of tears. "You tried to kill you're own sister twice. You almost drowned Kie. You tried to kill Pope. You kidnapped me" "It was because I wanted to protect you" "Well guess what, you didn't. You scare me Rafe" "You jumped for me Jane, what are you even talking about?". Now there was rage in those words. "You are right I did it and I don't even know why". They were screaming and both had tears in their eyes. "Listen I'm sorry, but trust me-" "How can I trust you Rafe? You are a murder". Rafe looked at her shocked. That word made him freak out, but was trying to be calm. "You said you trusted Jane" said him with a broken voice and wet cheeks. "I lied" replied the girl in tears.
They both looked at each other waiting for something to happen. Rafe felt guilty for everything that he had caused to her, meanwhile Jane felt guilty for that lie. She was just worried about her friends and didn't know what to do, but the only thing that she knew was that she trusted Rafe. But now she had lied and she wanted to fix everything. "Rafe-" "I'm going downstairs, the dinner is ready." said the boy, interrupting her "Do not move or they will see you. I'm gonna bring some food ok?" he said. He didn't seem angry, he just seemed sad and that was weird to Jane. Maybe he really cared about her. The girl didn't say anything, she just nodded and after that Rafe closed the door behind his back.

Jane waited for Rafe sitting on the chair and looking out of the window. She wanted peace and she was still thinking about the discussion that had with boy. Out of blue the door opened and she thought it was maybe Ward or Rose. Wrong. It was Rafe with a dish in his left hand and some water in the right one. After closing door with a little push he put everything on the desk "Dinner's ready" said "You didn't shower?". He didn't seem angry. Probably he was okay and that was the prove that he didn't care about her at all. "No" said the girl looking down like she had just hurted someone. "Fine. Then I'm gonna take a shower meanwhile you eat". After that the boy entered in the bathroom and the girl started to eat. There were chicken and french fries. She ate everything in one second. After 5 minutes Rafe went out only wearing some short pants and with wet hair. "Was it good?" asked him with a little smirk. "Oh yes. I literally devoured it. I was starving" said the girl with some sauce on the fingers. "Good" replied Rafe laughing "Then go take a shower" "I only have these dirty clothes" "Oh you're right. Wait here" and went out again. Jane waited for some minutes and then the young Cameron came back with some clothes in his arms "Towel and clothes. These are Sarah's clothes but I think they will fit you. If they don't tell me I'm gonna-" "Rafe" interrupted Jane. He looked at her thinking if he did anything wrong. "What?" "Thank you, I really appreciate what you are doing, but I don't wanna be a problem. Don't worry I'm leaving. I'm gonna find a place-" "Are you kidding?" said him. "Go take a shower" "but" "If you do it, then you are gonna taste this" said him catching a bottle of liquor. She looked at him and smiled."Thanks" was the only word that she said and after that she went in the bathroom.
After some minutes she came out with wet hair and sat on the bed, next to the boy. "This is really strong. I don't think you could drink it" said him with a little bit of fun "Excuse me?" replied the girl, making the boy laugh. "I can handle this" "The last time you were drunk" "The last you kidnapped me" said the girl, laughing this time. "Ok then prove me that you are right" said the kook looking at the pogue, while putting some liquor in her glass. They both had full glasses now and the girl started counting down.
"3...2...1...Go"
They both drunk the whole glass immediately. "Told you" said the girl, making a weird face for the liquor too strong "Im faster" "I just wanted you to win" said the boy some seconds after.
