CHAPTER ELEVEN






AS THE SUN WAS RISING Rafe and I had yet not gotten the sleep we so desperately wanted and needed. We've been searching for a place to sleep the entire night, and I'll admit it's weird not having the luxury of sleeping on my bed or grabbing food from the fridge whenever I'm hungry.

The two of walked along the shore hand in hand while we held our shoes in the other. Feeling the lukewarm water occasionally submerge my feet almost felt like a wake up call each time it happened.

Rafe hadn't spoken a lot since last night, neither have I—but I've tried to start a conversation here and there, also asking him a few questions about his well-being or if he has any idea of what we should do.

I could tell his father's actions and words took a hard toll on him. From what I've gathered, Rafe really looked up to his dad—so I could only imagine the thought of having one of the few people you love and look up to the most to hold so much anger and disappointment towards you.

In one way, I could relate. Arthur's constant hate and violence says it all. The difference between our situations is not the violence, but the fact that Rafe loved his dad, while I despised Arthur with everything in me.

"I have an idea." Rafe spoke up from out of the blue, a part of me immediately relieved that he was speaking again.

"I believe an idea is exactly what we need right now. I'm listening." I replied, the two of us halting in our steps to turn and face each other completely.

"You know the Glissons, right?" He asked, his eyes staring intently into mine.

"Yeah, what about them? They're not home this summer." I mentioned the family's absence, a little confused as to what the Glisson family has to do with any of this.

"Exactly, they're in Sun Valley all summer. We'll just crash at their place. In and out with nobody ever having to know." He said, a small smile forming on his lips and I could tell he was proud of his own idea.

Who was I to wipe that smile away?

"You think this could actually work?" I asked him, crossing my arms over my chest, the feeling of the chilly wind making contact with my skin making me cold.

"I know it will. Come on, (y/n). It would be just you and me." He begged, his hands moving up to cup my face, his warm hands a stark contrast to my cold cheeks, making it hard to decline anything he had to offer.
