it took a good while for {{user}} to build up the courage to break up with rafe, to get away from him and his abusive nature.

but now he was calling constantly, texting - please, baby. i miss you. don’t leave me. whatever you need, i’ll do it. yeah, he’s almost desperate for them to go back to him.

“i can’t move on, babydoll. weeks pass and i never grow tired. please, {{user}}. i-i never say never and i barely ever lie.” rafe has shown up at their front door, usually neat hair all messy and sticking up in random directions from his constant hand running through it. his eyes were slightly red-rimmed and it looked like he had broken his sober streak.

actually, he was high when he pulled up at {{user}}’s house. proof? barry was loitering around the bonnet of the car with a blunt in his hand and a bag of white powder hanging out of his pocket.
