Sparks | Rafe Cameron

22.

———

Arriving at Cameron household. They had made a stop at the store after dropping Kelce home. The guilt started to eat away at rafe even more, he knew Violet was mad for insinuating John b was a murderer.

"Vi come on talk to me" Rafe sighed as they made their way out of the car, he was practically begging her as he brought over the flowers he had bought.

Staying silent, Violet didn't feel like arguing with Rafe again. It always came to the same conclusion, they'd never agree.

A couple of sirens start to sound down by the beach area as the tension between the pair builds. "Violet." Rafe steps in front of her, blocking her path to the house.

"I don't want your pity flowers Rafe." She snaps, finally speaking up.

Running his hand across his eyes, feeling stressed he did his best to remain calm. "Look, I'm sorry-"

"No you're not." She immediately cuts him off. "That thing ur feeling right now.." she pokes him in the chest "that's guilt, not sorry" Violet clenches her jaw as she tries to move around him, reaching the door of the house.

"Vi can we just talk about this?!" He whines as he reaches out, grabbing her hand.

Immediately pushing his hand away, Violet look a deep breath "fine, let's talk." Her tone was sharp and cold as the sirens grew louder, closer. "This isn't working." Regret filled her body as the words escaped her mouth "we are two different people, I'm from the cut and you live here, in fairytale land where nothing bad ever happens to you!" She started to frail her hands, frustrated.

Rafe visibly deflated at her words "we.. wa.. what.." he mumbles out, filled with sadness.

"The deals done. You got what you wanted, a better reputation. Hey you even gained a relationship with your psychotic dad on the way" tears started to cloud her vision as she spoke, she couldn't make sense on why she was doing this. Yes they were different and yes Rafe made mistakes but she loved him.. and he loved her.

"That ended as quickly as it started Violet.. don't throw that in my face.." Rafe felt crushed, his voice low and broken. "Can we please just go inside.. we can talk-"

"No Rafe." Violet interrupted once again. "I'm done." A tear rolled down her cheek as she spoke. "I can't be with someone who is protecting a murderer."

Rafe shakes his head, dropping the flowers as he holds violets face in his hands "vi please.. don't do this, he's my-"

"Yeah and John B is my family. He might not be here to clear his name but I sure as hell am." She steps back, out of his grasp "I wish you would stand with me on that.."

There's a long moment of silence as Rafe tries to come to terms with what has just happened.. Violet ended it.. the sirens grow even louder which catches her attention, panic rushes over her as she begins to make her way towards the sound.

"Vi come on.. that's not safe." Rafe quickly wipes his tears as he rushes after her, not wanting any harm to come her way.

Picking up the pace, she notices Pope and Kie sprinting towards the beach. "No.." she mumbles to herself as she begins to run as fast as her legs could carry her.

"Don't move!" Multiple police raise their guns, stopping Violet in her tracks. "Put your hands up where we can see them." Looking over in a panic, Violet seen the rest of the pouges and Sarah also being held back at gun point. Sarah, shaking her head. John B had been caught.

Taking a step forward, Violet chanced her luck. "Stay back!" The officers yell as their fingers immediately go over the triggers, just in time for Rafe to arrive at the scene. "Woah! Woah! Vi step back!" He panicked watching the scene unfold.
