Blame It On Pride

Y/n's POV:

'Oh yeah, I thought I have lost it, thank you, I'll make sure to pick it up...' Her response states,

My hands tremble as I shrunk down, hunkering in, she didn't even specify the place, she purposely left her lipstick there,

Sarah grasps me and holds me close as Kiara hugs me from the other side,

Tears begin to hysterically pool within me as I see JJ panicking, I can still hear Rafe, he's now yelling,

'Why's she crying-answer my Goddamn question-why is Y/n crying-what did you do-'

'You are the reason she's crying, you are.' JJ responds,

'What-'

He hangs up and steps closer,

I begin to choke on my tears, I begin to breathe frantically, inhaling heavily, trying to catch my breath,

Pope steps in front of me, grasping my hands,

'Breathe Y/n, with me...inhale,' He says as I do as I am told, 'exhale...good...now repeat.'

As the process is repeated,

I manage to catch my breath,

Phone beeps ringing frantically as we hear tumultuous thumping on the door,

I stand up and walk towards the door,

'Y/n, you don't have to, we can tell him-'

'It's alright, I want to hear him say it.' I respond, pacing down the corridor, as I open the door,

Rafe is there...

His hair disheveled and unruly, shirt barely buttoned, he's breathing heavily as his face is stained,

'There you are-you scared the absolute shit out of me, let's go home-'

'Don't even pretend, just admit it.' I say, he narrows hi eyebrows,

'Admit-admit what? I thought you left me, I heard you cry-I swear to God, I'll kill them-' As Rafe attempts to walk in-but I shake my head, stopping him,

'Did you cheat on me?' I straight up inquire, I can't keep doing this, I need an answer...

'What-are you insane-what did these sleaze balls scatter in you, I would never-'

'Don't lie.'

'I am not-we've talked about this before-listen to me.' Rafe says, clutching onto my hands, 'I would never, ever do that, how can I?' He asks, we step outside on to the port, I remove my hands,

'I will pack my clothes tomorrow.' I say, as I am about to turn away, but he grasps me, tightly,

'What the fuck is going on? You left in the middle of the night, didn't answer my calls nor texts, scared the shit out of me, and now, I've finally got a hold of you, and you keep claiming that I what-cheated on you? Hours ago, I suggested for us to move, why on Earth would I even look at anyone besides you?' He asks, his eyes widened, either he's playing dumb or...Jenna did it on purpose?

'Then, explain this.' I demand, handing him the lipstick,

'What is this? I know it's not yours.' He says,

'Don't even, I found this in your bag.'

'My bag? What bag?'

'The brown one, the one that was on your night-table.'

'I don't have a brown bag love, and certainly not on my night-table, I always leave them downstairs.' He says,

'Can you stop lying?' I recite,

'I would never lie to you-why can't you just trust me?' He yells,

'Because you've been with so many people, how can I be certain that I am not going to be your next ex?' I ask,

'Because I've never been with them, I can't even remember their names, and I could not care less, they were nothing, but you are the first person I've ever fucking loved Y/n!' He responds, 'I've no clue who's lipstick is that, but I am certain that, it did not come from my bag.' He continues,

'Where did you get it?' He asks,

'It's Jenna's.' I mutter, he visibly tense n's clenches his jaw, shaking his head, he sighs in frustration,

'I will kill her.' He says, 'you will never have to deal with her again.'

'You don't have to-'

'No Y/n, I am serious, I will make sure that you never hear, nor see from her ever again, she did this, and she will now regret the day she was born, I promise.' He states, his face cold and filled with fury, he seems terrifying that way, I am slightly sorry for her, and so am I for Rafe, I didn't believe him...

'I'm sorry...' I mumble as he grasps me and pushes me closer, embracing me tightly,

'It's my fault, I let this happen, I will make sure that-she's non-existent as soon as possible, and I promise, I won't let this happen again...I was terrified Y/n, searched the whole town...thank God you're here...'

Turns out, the highlights were in fact old, and they were taken without even Rafe knowing, as she photoshopped herself next to him, since they never even hugged...

Finding out that she did that-resulted in Rafe being even more furious and even more determined to wipe her off the surface, forever,

The account was deleted and I haven't heard from her since then at all, Rafe took care of that,

'I hate you all, and I do hope that one day-all of you will trip and die, but, when it comes to Y/n, I have to say 'thank you' for taking care of her, I was forced to thank you, so don't even think that I hate you less now.' Rafe says to JJ, Sarah, John B, Kiara and Pope as I squeeze his hand,

Yes, I force him into saying that, but, I did have to offer something in return...

-

'My good-little slut-yes, just like that.' He groans in my ear-whilst I am entirely tied to the bed,

We break this one as well...
