Y/n pov
I texted Sarah I was going to the mainland to see my dad, that was a week ago. She told me Rafes been asking me non stop and crying profusely every night. I stilled loves him and I know I shouldn't, but we've been together for a year and we always took things slow, like our first kiss? Ya that didn't happen till like month 2 or 3 into our relationship. I think it was mostly because I was so shy and held myself back, but he loved me through that and had patience. I guess just this time that patience was long gone.
"You headed back to your moms?" My dad asked me. I didn't tell him what really happened. For all he knew I just got in a fight with my boyfriend.
"Ya. It's been a week and mom can't really do life on her own." I told her. My dad chuckled at that. That's why they got divorced. My mom and I may have been kooks, but she held a secret. She loved her alcohol. Every night she'd go into our wine cellar and drink what she could. In the day time though she was a whole different person. I'm just hoping she held herself together this long.
"I'll miss you, and I love you. You come back soon." My dad as I climbed in my car. I smiled at him.
"I love you too. I'll come back and visit ya soon." I said giving him one last kiss on the cheek.
As I drove farther from my dad I realized just how much I will miss him and the mainland. I didn't see my dad often due to him living hours away.
There it was. Welcome to outer banks, paradise on earth. Fuck that. No it wasn't.
I pulled up to my house and parked the car outside. My mom wasn't home, probably at work like the usual Wednesday. I brought my bags upstairs and made sure the house was still intact. She seemed to do fine without me, no broken glass, things were clean like normal. I let Sarah know I was back today, and wanted to come see me. I had hid the bruises around my neck from my dad from foundation and sweatshirts but I didn't try to hind them anymore. My mom wouldn't be home to see them and Sarah knew about it.
"Y/n!" I heard a yell from the front door. I stood in the kitchen. Sarah was here. "Your ok!" She yelled and pulled me into a tight hug.
"I've miss you too." I joked with her. She laughed. "How's Uh now is he?" I asked her.
"Cries most nights, he kept trying to ask me where you went but I just ignored him. He hasn't left the house once." She said. I felt bad for leaving him in the dark like that but after what he did, I needed space. Of course I still love him, and maybe I'll try with him again but I was still so confused.
"I uh want to see him." I told her. She sighed.
"Come on. I ran here so we'll take your car." She said and there we went. Out to my car and back to Sarah's house.
"He's in his room." Rose said as Sarah and I looked up at the staircase for a good 5 minutes.
"Thank you." I told her with a small smile.
"I'll be in my room so if you need me yell out to me or make a noise I'll hear you." She said. I nodded and walked up the stairs first with her following.
I stood there, right in front of his door. My heart beat getting faster with every second. I knocked on his door. No answer. All I heard was a grumble. I sighed. I knew him to well, he wasn't gonna answer the door. I opened it and walked in.
"What dad!? I'm not getting up!" He yelled.
"It's a good thing I'm not your dad." I said standing in the middle of his room, with my arms crossed. I had shit the door so no one would eaves drop on us. He sprang up from his bed. He was wearing nothing but boxers, not a unusual sight for me to see, but his hair was a mess and he looked tired. His bed was a mess and clearly hadn't been properly made in days.
"Y/n." He said in a hush tone. "Baby...babygirl your here!" He said and engulfed me in a tight hug. I felt him cry in my shoulder.
"Rafe. I'm sorry Uh for leaving you in the dark. I just-." I said but he cut me off.
"No no! Don't apologize, you did nothing wrong. I fucked up. I almost could've killed you all because I was being selfish. And I'm so sorry. I'm sorry! I know I could say it forever but it won't make up for what I did, but I fucking love you and want you with me all the time and-." He was going on and on, but by now I forgave him. I kissed his lips to shut him up. There's saying, forgive but not forget. I wasn't a person to hold grudges or think of things forever, I knew I needed to forgive him or I'd be angry for the rest of my life.
I pulled away from the kiss to see him kind of shocked.
"I forgive you. I-I don't think I'll ever forget what you did, but I love you too. And love doesn't just go away so fast. I think we can try again, but I can't say we can start off just like how we were. I need time." I said and tried not to make eye contact with him. I was nervous for his reaction.
"I will wait. I'll wait years for you. However long you need but I can I ask one thing?" He said with a pleading look. I nodded my head yes.
"Are you still mine? Because I can't stand when other guys even look at you. Not even the cashier at the grocery store." He said with a small smile forming on his lips at the end.
"I'm still yours." I said with a toothy smile and kissed his lips.
"Thank god. I missed you." He mumbled into the kiss and wrapped me up in his arms.
"I'm gonna give you the perfect date! We'll do whatever you want!" He exclaimed. He was really trying here.
"Anything?" I asked with a smirked. He gulped and his shoulders slumped.
"Yes anything. As long I won't break a bone." He said. I couldn't let the smirk off my face.
"Go tell JJ Maybank that his dirt bike is better then yours." I said with a sly smile. The one things both those boys praised was their bikes. I knew this was gonna be a tough one. Karmas a bitch.
