WILD RIDE (Rafe Cameron x OC) *COMPLETE*

Chapter Fourteen (Alana)

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Alana

I rushed up the stairs in the Tannyhill estate. The spiral staircase burning my calves with each step I took that finally brought me up to the guest room. My room as I've claimed for a few days now and hopefully the Cameron family doesn't mind too much.

Sarah pops her head from her bedroom with her makeup done but hair up in rollers as she holds a lipstick in her hand. "Hey! Dress is hanging behind your door, do you need help with your hair?"

My hair that's down to my freaking hip and currently hasn't been brushed since yesterday because of the fucking phone call I got this morning? Yeah, I might need some help. "How long do you need to leave your hair up in those rollers?"

"Until the key turns in the car." Sarah smirks. "Do your makeup while I do your hair?"

I nod. "Perfect. Give me like two minutes to set my stuff up."

Less than two minutes later I'm sitting at the vanity in the guest room with everything out that I'll need. My flat iron already heating up when I look through the open doorway and into Rafe's room where he's dabbing on some of his cologne. The smell of it slowly flooding into my room and sending a sensation to my stomach and even lower.

Sarah comes in wearing a robe and fluffy slippers that I'm pretty sure are literally pink fluffy pigs. I don't even question it as I hand her the hairbrush and let her go to town taming this mop on my head.

While doing my base for my makeup and Sarah sections off my hair to flat iron it she looks at the mirror to talk to me. "So... How did it go with JJ?"

I shake my head. "He's so fucking stupid."

"What even happened?"

"Someone dumped Topper's boat which I know you know about but after the fight at the movies the other night that was just the final straw. Topper texted me and apologized and said he didn't want to press charges but his mom insisted. I told him I don't really care what happens to JJ at this point, but if I didn't go and check on him then you know it would have been way worse."

Sarah nods. "Yeah... I know. So, what did JJ say when you went there?"

"He was fucking pissed. And he had the audacity to tell me that I have it easy and yeah maybe I do have it easier than him but that's because I've worked my ass off to have it easy. I go to school and even when Dad went missing I only missed two days while somehow still managing to keep my grades above a B+ without sinking any further than that. I babysit on weekends and after school work for Kie's parents at the restaurant. JJ tried to work at Heyward's for one day and guess what happened? He fell asleep on the job because he was too stoned to do anything else."

Sarah shook her head while finishing the bottom most section, pulling down another and running the brush through it before clicking the plates of the flat iron together. "I've never seen someone so young work as hard as you do. John B too-"

"John B was sitting right there when JJ said all that to me."

"And?" Sarah's jaw dropped as she held the flat iron toward my scalp. I jumped. "Sorry!"

"Bitch. You burned my freaking head!"

I adjusted myself in the chair and worked on my eyeshadow. I wanted to do something natural but just a little darker than usual on my outer crease. A little shimmer on the lid and maybe just smoke the rest out but not too dark just dark enough to notice it's different.
