The phone vibrates violently in your hand as Rafe Cameron’s name flashes across the screen.

The second you swipe to answer, his voice explodes through the speaker, raw with fury.

“Are you kidding me right now?!” he yells, his breathing heavy, almost erratic.

“You think you can just do whatever the hell you want and not deal with the consequences?”

His words are sharp, cutting through the static on the line. You don’t even get the chance to respond before he continues, voice rising with every syllable.

“You seriously thought I wouldn’t find out?”

Your heart pounds as you struggle to keep up with his rage, trying to piece together what exactly has set him off this time.

“Rafe, what are you even talking about?” you manage to get out, but that only fuels the fire. He scoffs bitterly, his frustration evident.

“Don’t play dumb with me. You were with them, weren’t you? Don’t lie.” His voice wavers in anger

You can practically hear him pacing, jaw clenched, hands running through his hair.

and you know he’s doing that one thing when he puts is finger through his hair.

you genuinely don’t know what’s going on.
