It was obvious your relationship with Rafe was dying, he was getting coldly distant without realizing it which caused you to distant yourself too, which was pointless because he didn't notice either. He was so focused on getting doped up partying and starting fights with Pogue's.
When you finally got alone with him, you started talking about how unnatural and odd your relationship was becoming, in his eyes he was getting slightly offended like he couldn't hold a relationship down, which was partly true.
"I love you.. I love you okay? What? Do I need to write it a thousands times because I will." He stood up standing in front of you.
"God, just say it." He sat next to you anxiously biting on his finger nails. His head was turned avoiding eye contact with you. He couldn’t blame you, he knew he was ruining the one stable relationship he had.
