Your body creaked roughly under your weight as you shifted for the tenth time in the last twenty minutes; no matter how much you tried, sleep wouldn’t overtake your exhaustion. Your mind constantly worrying and replaying things that had happened through the hellish day. Work sucked; your boss always nagged for the dumbest things. The customers treated you like shit, and you barely made anything you needed to survive in the tyrant-like world.

Rafe Cameron was someone no one could explain in simple terms; he did what he wanted and took what he pleased. He has always been your best friend, the one person you shouldn’t ignore, but you did. You knew it was wrong, but he had just pushed the wrong buttons last week, shoving your patience to the last of its whim, and you had snapped. You lost your cool on the blonde boy, and now you were ignoring him—scared of the consequences—punishments he would rule out.

Your heart dropped the moment the pellets came from your window, your body slowly strumming to life with nerves and excitement as you climbed from your bed and pattered to the window, your eyes landing on Rafe chucking rocks at your window. You gasped and quickly fumbled to open your window.

“Rafe!” you hissed as you dodged a rock, which went flying into your bedroom and landed on the floor with a plop.

Rafe’s smirk only grew as he dropped the rest of the pebbles on the ground. “Hi, baby! You can’t keep ignoring me.” His smile was almost as innocent as a honeybee as he slowly started to scale the side of your house, his fingers and feet fighting for grip on the storm drain that was attached to the brick of your home.
