When your parents announced the Cameron’s would be coming over for dinner you knew the universe hated you. Three nights ago you saw Rafe your biggest bully since the Academy, and the last person to make you forget your own last two nights ago. Sofia caught you in his bed, but instead of being mad at himself he took all his anger out on you, causing you to yell so much your voice hurt after. You were thinking about leaving. About spoiling the meat. About anything to make Rafe not walk up and into your house. But there he was. Sitting across from you in that cream shirt that said he was trying to hard, avoiding your gaze even though you weren’t even looking

Dinner was over. Ward, Rafe, and Rose sitting on the couch talking to your parents while you took it upon yourself to catch air in the backyard. After what seemed like not enough time you heard the door shut behind you. Rafe walked up to stand beside you

“So about the other day.” He started, even though you knew he wasn’t gonna finish either
