Wasn't expecting that

Fussy

In the morning Raf is awake first and has decided to confront Cara about her wrists. Cara wakens around half an hour later.

He makes her some breakfast and she comes downstairs."Morning" Raf smiles.

"Morning" she mutters.

"I made pancakes" Raf smiles.

"Well eat up then" he says.

She sits starring at the pancakes unsure whether to eat them or not, "Go on" Raf says.

She picks at it a little before knocking a raspberry around with her fork on the plate.

"Come on Caz" Raf sighs.

She eats a little more before getting up "where you going?" He asks.

"To get Jack..." she says as she suddenly realises what she's doing and sits back down, she brings her hand to her mouth and lets out a sob.

"Come here" Raf sighs.

She continues to cry into Raf's chest. "It's alright" he says.

She gets up and pulls away from him "I need a shower" she mutters.
Raf stands there not knowing what to say to her, "See you in a bit" she says as she heads upstairs.

"Yep" Raf says.

Cara heads upstairs; grabs her towel, clean underwear and goes into the bathroom.

Raf goes upstairs after her, "Caz can I come in? I need the toilet" he says.

"No, go pee downstairs" she says.

"Caz I've come all the way up here please let me" he replies.

"No" she huffs.

Cara stands with her back against the door and sighs, "Cara I'm giving you to the count of ten and I'm coming in" he says.

"Shut up Raf, I need a shower now piss of" she shouts.

"I'm coming in" he says.

Cara rolls her eyes and lets him in, She goes and gets in the shower and doesn't really say much. Raf stands watching her, "thought you needed a piss!" she huffs.

He goes to the toilet and the washes his hands. Cara gets out of the shower and quickly grabs a towel.

"I need the toilet... move" she says.

"Cara stop it!" he says as he grabs her wrists.

"Get yours hands off me" she says.

"Your self harming" Raf blurts out.

"No I'm not" she says as she pulls her wrist free.

"Cara I saw it last night, I'm not stupid!" he says.

"It's not what you think" she panics.

"What is it then?" he says.

"Just leave me alone" she snaps.

"No I won't Cara this is serious!" Raf says. She leaves the bathroom and gets herself changed, "Cara please!" Raf says.

"I'm fine, leave me" she says as she gets dressed.

"So explain what's on your arms?" he says.

"I was in the garden..." she says.

"Please Cara, you weren't, I'm not stupid...you've cut yourself with a blade or something!" he sighs.

"I haven't leave me be!" She says.

"Fine, I'm off to get grocceries, anything you'd like? And Lucy is come round later!" he sighs.

"I'm not in the mood for visitors" she says.

"Okay, I'll give her a ring" he says,

"I might just go back to bed for another hour" Cara sighs.

"Why don't you come shopping? We could get something nice for dinner" he smiles trying to lighten up the mood.

"I'm fine" she says.

"Come on, it'll be fun" Raf sighs.

"Doctors orders that I get rest after my op" Cara whispers.

"Yes but you need fresh air to clear your head" he replies.

"I guess" she sighs.

Raf leaves her to get changed and heads downstairs. "Coming or not?" he asks as she appears downstairs.

"I'm not sure" she says as she plays with her sleeve.

"Why not?" he asks.

"Just tired" she says.

"You can sleep in the car" Raf says.

"How old do you think I am?" Cara snaps as she sits on the sofa and grabs a fleece blanket.

"How old do you think I am?" Cara snaps as she sits on the sofa and grabs a fleece blanket.

Raf rolls his eyes, "right okay!" he says, She sits there silently unsure of what to say.

"You might want to stick the heat on it's a bit chilly" Raf says as he gets his coat on.

She says nothing and Raf leaves the house, She grabs a blanket and lies down on the sofa.

Cara sleeps for around half an hour before waking up feeling really hungry. She gets up and goes to the kitchen to see Raf unpacking the things he had bought.

He gives her a friendly smile as she starts to look through the cupboards for something to eat.

"Too soon for dinner or are you hungry?" he asks.

"I'm actually hungry" she says as she puts a biscuit in her mouth.

"What would you like for dinner?" Raf asks.

"Just something nice" she says.

"Like what?" he asks as he looks in the cupboard and before looking round at Cara he can hear her crying again.

"Oh Cara what's up hunny" he says as he goes over to her and hugs her.

"I want Jack back and I ache" she cries.

Raf hugs Cara unsure of what to say because he knows Jack isn't coming back. Raf goes into the living room with her and just cuddles her.

"I want to hold him, I want him right here" Cara says as she holds her chest.

"I know I know" he sighs.

Cara lies against him and cries, Raf just rocks her a little and sits in silence.
