Blame It On Pride

C h a p t e r F i f t y - N i n e

Y/n's POV:

On my stupidity, I decided to conduct a little-research on that Jenna,

It is wrong, I know that, and I also know that if Rafe would ever find out that I am worried about her, he would be furious, so I'll keep it quiet, at least for now,

I rummage through Instagram, as eventually, I found her, besides me being unaware of her last name, it was easy to find her peaking-bright bikini on her profile Picture...

I didn't find anything, there is a possibility that she has another-private account, but once she sees my account, she won't let me in...

I need to do it quickly, because Rafe might wake up soon, so I quickly make a new account, messaging her and claiming that I am her old friend from her school, it rather works...

'Hey, it's been so long, how have you been?' I text her, after a while, she answers,

'Hey, who are you?' Nice start...

After a while, I managed to persuade her that we know each other, so she approves my request and then, what I saw, I had to clasp my mouth to avoid that gasp escaping my lips...

Her highlights, of Rafe and her, she is embracing him and laughing, her perfectly structured veneers...are mine good enough?

Those photographs look like they have been taken years ago, but, I cannot help-but feel the lump in my throat and the ache in my heart,

She is always around him, always hugging him, was he happier with her?

Is that why he's so good at pleasing me? Knowing all the damn spots?

Did he take her to the same island?

Did they do it in the same bed as us?

I didn't notice the way my phone fell out of my arms, I shift in my place, attempting to get out of bed, however Rafe holds my hand, pulling me in,

'Where are you going?' He mumbles,

'Erm, to the bathroom...' I respond,

'Take me with you,' He mutters, gripping on my arm,

'I'll be back in a minute, alright?'

'Do you promise?' He asks, I feel a tear trickling down my cheek, it's nothing serious, they are in the past, it I need some time to process this,

I entirely understand that he'd have ex's, but to think that she still has him on her private page, highlighted and labelled 'Me and my Boo!' Is quite daunting,

'Yes, I promise.' I respond, getting out of bed, I hear him mumbling my name as I make my way out through the door, I will return, I just need some time, I need some air...

—-

Whilst walking down the pavement, breeze flutes in my hair, I inhale deeply and then exhale, I keep reassuring myself that it's in the past, but the way her eyes linger down his body, the way everything links and the way I could be his next-ex,

We did so much together, and surely it meant something to him...right?

I didn't notice the way I wandered all the way down the road, my mobile began to tumultuously ring, It's Rafe, he spammed me with calls and texts, as I Was about to answers-right before I heard a voice in front of me,

'And what are you doing here?'

I glance up and see her.

Now that's odd, what the hell is she doing here? Not entirely far from Rafe's house?

'I could as you the same thing, it's creepy you know.' I say, she smiles with her annoying smile, trying to appear 'tough',

'My boyfriend lives here,' She says as my eyes widen in disbelief,

'You mean your ex?' I ask, tilting my head, she bursts into laughter,

'Oh please honey, do you really think that you two will last, let me tell you something, when you both were so determined to kill each other, I was in his bed, and he was fucking me and not you, and he might act that he's over me, but he's not, maybe you really are his replacement.' She says, my lips are slackened apart, 'or maybe you're his little-toy until he finally gathers the courage to come back to me, at least I know how to please him...' She continues,

She flips her hair and paces past me, clanking her heels down the pavement, why is she here?

Maybe she's right...?

'Y/n!' I hear him call as I turn around and see him, his hair unruly, his breathing heavy as he paces towards me, furious, as I thought...

'You scared the shit out of me-this is not really the bathroom is it? What the hell are you doing here-'

'I met Jenna.' I interrupt him as he looks at me, dumbfounded...
