Its now 2 month later since Ward Cameron died— Rafes old man.
Rafe change…
He is colder and the cocky smirk has been replaced by an unreadable facial expression.
He doesnt talk about it, or when you try to talk about it and ask him how he feels he just brushs you of or even screams at you to Shut you up.
You don’t take it to heart, becouse you know he is in grief and you know how Rafe looked up to his father— Even after all the manipulations and the man up shit, you understand that Rafe just wanted love from his father that he never got.
Even In sleep Rafe doesnt find his peace…
He stirres every night and just cant hold still. You hear him whimer, always some words, but you cant understand what he is saying. The nightmares are growing badder and harder from each night to night.
Today again
You wake up from a restless Rafe. Again he whimers softly but his facial expression is killing you— He looks so vulnerable and fearful. Again he starts to mumbel some words— This time you understand it
‘Man up‘
Even after his death, this bastard doesn’t let’s him go…
You gently whisper „Baby wake up, its just a nightmare“ You stroke his cheek. Rafes eyes shot open and he breaths heavy like he is in panic. Without hesitation you pull him in your arms. Rafe melts in your arms, you can feel in the crock of your neck the tears that fall from his eyes.
Your poor baby…
You rub his back „I‘m here baby. I love you so much“ Rafe doesnt respond he just clings more on you.
