The Storm~Rafe

A/n:
Inspired by S4 E9 so SPOIL WARNING!!!

~~~

Rafe and me dated for almost two years before the whole situation with him blaming John B for the murder he committed. I was always friends with best Sarah and sorta friends with the pogues and once that happened I couldn't look at him the same.

Killing an innocent cop was bad enough, but blaming it on an innocent guy? That's when I broke up with him and helped tried to help clesr John B's name.

I ended up getting really close with them and they became my best friends.

I haven't really talked much to Rafe since then, except today. Shoupe had us cornered, ready to arrest JJ and take Pope in but Rafe came and basically saved all our asses.

So, fast forward a bit here we are.. the pogues up on the boat, on the way to Morocco, with Rafe tied up at the bottom of the boat.

"Y/n.. I know it's ganna be hard but can you go give this tray to Rafe?" Sarah asked, handing me a tray of food. "Um.. yeah-yeah for sure.." I sighed, taking the tray.

I walked down to the bottom of the boat and nervously took a deep breath as I stood out side of the door, working up the courage to open it.

Finally, I opened the door. He looked up, and I nervously looked down immediately. I set the tray on the floor. "Great" He mumbled.

"Just like I said, no good dear goes unpunished" He said. "Theres some aspirin in there for you, if you need it.." I said. 

"Aspirin? Oh, what? Are you throw it up my mouth like a seal?" He scoffed, referring to how his hands were tied.

I felt terrible seeing him like that, all tied up after he helped us. "No one trusts you, Rafe.. and honestly why would they?" I said.

"I was trying to help!" He said. "We'll let you off when we get there, but til then, no one trusts you." I said.

"You don't trust me? After everything we've been through? After everything I've done for you?!" He yelled, kicking the tray of food, making me flinch.

"After everything that has happened, I don't trust you at all!" I said, leaving the room, and taking a deep breath, looking down, not knowing what to do.

~~~

When it was time to bring him food again, this time was quicker. I opened the door, set the tray down and immediately left. I felt so terrible knowing he couldn't even eat it, tied up. I wanted to just help him at least eat but I couldn't bare to be in the same room as him any longer.

~~~

The storm outside was getting worse and we could hear Rafe yelling for help downstairs.

Sarah looked so stuck, not knowing what to do and I couldn't take it anymore. I got up, and grabbed a knife. "No! Y/n, No!" Said Cleo. "Do not let him out!" Pope added. "He's going to drown!" Kiara stood up for me.

I held on to whatever I could as I made it downstairs. "HEY! ASSHOLES I'M DOWN HERE!" I heard him yell as I continued down.

I opened the door and immediately walked over to him. I don't think I have been this close to him- touched him since before we broke up.

"Cut me loose!" He said, groaning. I immediately began cutting his wrists free, while speaking "Please don't make me regret this!" I said.

Once I got his hands free, I looked up at him. "You okay?" I said. "Yeah" He said, as we immediately began walking out.

As we made it up into a different room than the pogues, Rafe's eyes widened. "Oh fuck, it's bad." He said. I nodded, nervously. "I-I'm so scared Rafe. Ive never been in the water in a storm like this." Just as I said that, the ship made a sharp tilt, making us both stumble backwards.

Rafe grabbed the couch, taking a seat and then pulling me down beside him. I looked up into Rafe's eyes and could tell he was scared too. "Hey it-it's gonna be okay." He said. "How? We are not close to shore and the storm doesn't seem to be going away?" I said with tears forming in my eyes.

"The boat will stay steady, and we will reach shore, okay? Don't be scared, it's okay." He tried to comfort me but his voice was low and you could tell he didn't know what was going to happen.

I nodded, holding onto the table as I stood up. "Come on.. we are no good here, let's go see if we can help with something." I said, walking back over to the pogues with Rafe following behind me.

~~~

I sat with Pope and cleo, as Rafe followed Kiara up to the top deck, as Pope said JJ and Sarah both went up there.

We nervously sat, unable to do anything but wait.

Rafe was first to come back down, tears in his eyes as he walked back into the other room. "Rafe?" I immediately got up, following him. "Hey, what happened?" I asked.

"Sarah fucking went overboard. JJ jumped in after her but uh.. she's gone Y/n. My sister is fucking dead she fell right into the storm! And God JJ to" He said, tears falling down his cheek.

"Oh my God!" Tears filled my eyes as well. I wrapped my arms around his shaking body. The both of us letting out tears.

~~~

It was awhile before we washed up onto some deserted island type of thing.

Everyone let some tears fall, and just prayed that JJ and Sarah would show up.

Everyone was just sitting, helplessly trying to think of something.

Rafe was away from the rest of us, and I couldn't  see him alone anymore. He lost his sister, too.

I walked over to him and sat down beside him. We both just say in silence, letting the presence of each other help calm us down.

I hate to admit this but, deep down he was still my first love and I still loved him. And right now we were all going through the same thing and I need him just as much as he needs me, even if it's just to sit in silence.

~~~

When JJ and Sarah finally showed up to the beach alive the first 10 minutes was filled with non stop hugs and explaining.

Soon it was dark and Cleo had started a fire that everyone. Even though everyone noticed, no one said a word about how I sat beside Rafe, a closer than I should've been.. a part of me hoped that we could be together again.. or at least friends..
