Sparks | Rafe Cameron

25.

———

It had been a few hours since they had witnessed Wards suicide. Violet stuck around TannyHill to comfort Sarah.. being the only person to do it minus Topper. Heading down the stairs to refill Sarah's cup of ice water she bumped into topper "how is she?" He asked.

Violet looked up at him, her eyebrows furrowed "not good. She just watched her dad die." She fills up Sarah's cup, disbelief that topper just asked her that.

"Rafe is getting let out.." topper continues to make small talk, causing Violet to stop in her tracks. She had been thinking about Rafe a lot the past couple of hours, she knew he wouldn't take the death of his father well. "I know you're not together anymore but.. It would mean the most if you were the one to pick him up."

Violet spins around to face Topper "does he know?" She asks, sadness laced in her tone

Topped bites his cheek, nodding slowly "he knows." He sighs before holding out his keys "you can even take my car.. I'll watch Sarah for a bit while you're gone."

Staring at the keys in toppers hand she hesitates "okay.." she exchanges the ice water for his keys "but you better not try anything." She warns, she didn't like the idea of topper being around Sarah.. not while she was vulnerable.

"You have my word." Topper salutes as he turns and walks towards Sarah's bedroom with the water. Taking a deep breath, Violet made her way to the prison, unsure on what she'd even say to rafe when she got there.

Sitting in the waiting room, her leg was bouncing nervously. Glancing down the hallway at every little noise, waiting to see rafe be brought out.

The doors buzz open as Rafe comes walking out, officers at either side of him. He was wearing a pretty run down, grey prison uniform as he made his way towards her.. a small smile playing on his lips as they locked eyes. She had come for him. She still loved him.

The officers began to explain to Rafe the process for leaving but he couldn't hear any of it. His soul focus was on Violet.. his spark was here. Quickly signing all of the paperwork he made his way over to Violet, standing in front of her with a small smile "vi"

"You look like you're from the cut." Violet awkwardly blurted out through her nerves, pulling him down into a tight hug. "I tried to warn you." She mumbled, refusing to pull away from the hug.

Gripping onto her tightly, he felt at peace.. even if it was on the middle of a prison. He felt at peace because he had her. "I know."

"I'm sorry." Violet squeezed him a little tighter, before finally forcing herself to pull away. She knew if she didn't she would never be able to bring herself to.

Rafe softly smiled, placing his hand on her cheek. "I've missed you Vi." He admitted "come on.. let's go home." He reaches down, taking violets hand as he walked outside noticing toppers car. "Did topper drive you here?" He clenched his jaw, jealousy filling his body.

Violet noticed but decided to keep quiet, he had been through a lot that day "he let me borrow his car. Unless you wanted to walk home from prison this was my only transport." She tosses him the keys, getting into the car.

The car ride was silent, neither of the pair knowing what to say to each other. Rafe was pushing down his feelings about his father's death while battling his hurt with the breakup, meanwhile Violet wasn't sure how to talk to Rafe anymore.. she didn't know what mind he was in.

Walking up into TannyHill a small argument can be heard as they enter the building. "You looked glad." Sarah states, full of hurt

"He killed my dad." John B shot back, not understanding why Sarah was so angry at him.
