Bella Kennedy and Rafe Cameron were inseparable - best friends since childhood, bound by summer skies, saltwater secrets, and a connection that always felt like more than friendship. But everything changed when Rafe started dating Courtney Jen. Overnight, he ghosted Bella, leaving her messages unanswered and her heart confused. No explanation. No goodbye. Just silence.
Brokenhearted and tired of being treated like a backup, Bella found comfort in an unlikely place - the Pogues. As she grew closer to them, especially JJ and Kiara, she discovered a side of herself that Rafe had never really seen. But her new alliances didn't go unnoticed. Tension simmered between her and Rafe every time their paths crossed. He couldn't stand the thought of Bella with them, but he had no right to feel that way anymore, or did he?
When the past and present collide, buried feelings resurface. But with trust broken and new loyalties formed, is there still a future for Bella and Rafe, or are they just ghosts of who they used to be?

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ For as long as Eleanor Hawthorne lived, she hated Rafe Cameron. Even just the thought of him would set her off. She was raised to believe that all Camerons weren't truthful and Rafe proved just that.

For years the two tormented each other, constant bickering, leaving a pile of burning tensions after walking away in an argument, but what happens Rafe is the only one that's able to dig Eleanor out of the mess her dad made?

"In the OBX, you either pick a side... or get crushed between them." Lola Russo sits in the gray zone of the Outer Banks-too Pogue to roll with the Kooks, too tied to her brother Barry's bullshit to ever feel fully in the clear. She talks shit, stands her ground, and still ends up being the one cleaning up everyone else's mess. And when the Pogues kick off their big "gold missions," they act like she suddenly doesn't exist. Meanwhile, Barry's sliding deeper into sketchy business, and Rafe Cameron keeps their hookup locked in the shadows-calling it "casual" while acting jealous enough to prove otherwise. When the hunt for the gold blows up and things get dangerous for real, Lola has to figure out who actually has her back... and where she fits in this whole OBX disaster.

Rafe Cameron x Victoria Versai #4 in #RafeCameron Victoria has had a life of trouble and tribulation. Her dad passed away, leaving her mom and her to relocate across the country to Washington State from Figure 8. But suddenly, her mom goes missing on a hike and she is shipped back to the Outer Banks after being away for 5 years. She moves into a guest house of her cousins, Kiara Carrera, and rekindles friendships and life before she left. Including the guy who used to scare her, now intrigues her. Vic doesn't know who she is, where she belongs, until she's left with helping him or herself.

Good music included :) Slow Burn for sure ** I Do not own OBX Characters, story line, plots except those of my own creation ** Drugs, Violence, NSFW (Not reallllllyyy), possibly abuse ***Rafe will follow similar plot lines to the show OBX, but the story will not focus around that.Complete
