Everyone assumed that Rafe and you getting together was just you using him to get ahold of free drugs because it wasn't a hidden fact amongst the people - specifically the teenage kooks - that you (like most them) were messing with drugs. Rafe usually had them.

You usually paid more then necessary for reasons that Rafe couldn't understand and he never asked questions.

Everyone assumed the worse. except it wasn't.

you still paid for your drugs. you just didnt have to do it in public settings anymore because you were his girlfriend. he was crazy... but he was calmer when he was with you.

you found comfort in each other, no matter how hard that is to believe. you both spent a lot of time together and he had been there for you.

when you needed your coke. when you needed to forget. when you didn't have money for food. when your boyfriend broke up with you. when you just wanted to fuck.

he was just there... and he didn't do it with anyone else. Just you. he cared deeply for you and refused to let anyone treat you badly which is why you usually stayed close to his side.

one day, his sister and him got into a fight with each other and you, trying to be sensible, wanted them to calm down and take a minute.

"I bet you're using my brother for free drugs." Sarah said with a shake of her head and laughter.

You stood there shocked, not expecting that.

but before you could respond, Sarah stormed off angrily while you looked back at Rafe. "T-they all really believe that?"... you asked.
