Desire

You were right, i guess

Rafe Cameron's PoV
That night:
I lay awake.
I couldn't sleep and all I could think about is how Kat was right.
Right about my Dad, the fire and me.

I wanted to tell her, tell her that she was right and I was wrong.
I decided to text her.

Kitty Kat:
'You awake?'

It doesn't go through.
That's strange?
I then realise that she had obviously blocked me.
I had no clue why?
I'll find her tomorrow.

The next day:
12 am.
Sarah was out and I decided to call her, ask where she was and subtly ask who she was with.
She said she was with the pouges .
Jake, JJ, John B, Pope , Kie and Sage.
But not Kat?
Perfect.
She must be at home.
Sarah was at the beach with her friends so it was the perfect time.

Everyone was at the beach, everyone except me that is.
My mother was at work and I noticed that the house needed cleaning.
I told Jake and Sage to go ahead, that I'll meet them later.
They offered to help but honestly I'd rather tidy by myself, it's easier plus I know where everything needs to go.

I start with up stairs, hoovering the floor and stripping the beds.
Putting the dirty sheets in the wash.
That's when I hear the front door slam shut.
It must be Sage or Jake, they'd probably forgotten something.
"Sage? Jake?"  I shout from upstairs as I do up a trash bag filled with cups.
No response.

I open my bedroom door, jumping when I see Rafe.
"What the fuck! This is called breaking and entering" I push past him as I walk downstairs with the bag in my hand.
"What are you doing?" He follows me but I totally ignore him.
"Look I just came here to tell you that you were right, I guess" he chuckled slightly and I shrug , my back facing him.

"What was I right about, may I ask?" I didn't have the time to talk to him and honestly even if I did I didn't want to spend it with him.
"About my Dad, he was behind the fire" he coughs awkwardly.

My back straightens as I stop wiping the sides down.
"Yes I know that Rafe, I literally told
you that-"
I'm guessing he didn't like my sharp responses considering he scoffed as I said it.

"Yes I know that Rafe, I literally told you that"
She was blunt and almost mean.
I let out a huff , why was she being like this?
I know we argued at the golf course yesterday but -
I dunno I just thought she'd be nicer.
last year she talked to me like we had all the time in the world but now it different.

"Did he tell you why he got Topper to set the fire?"
She asks , curiosity dripping from her tongue.
Topper didn't know about me and Kat.
He just thought he was getting paid to set a fire to make the pouges look bad.
More pacifically Kat, for it to make Kat look bad.

"He doesn't want me to ruin the family name by hanging out with a pouge" I grumble, I felt bad even repeating what he said.
She turns facing me with a defeated smile, the smile looked almost sad.

"Hanging out?" She laughs to cover her facial expressions , she had clearly noticed that mine had mirrored hers.
"He told me that I was the reason you were doing coke again, that you needed to focus on work, he didn't say anything about the family name" she coughs as she turns again.

"When you left I started doing coke again, it was the worst relapse I've ever had but Alice helped me, I know you think she's a terrible person but she has her moments and that was one of them I guess"

The second he said that my heart stopped, he really just said that.

"Your Dad was wrong- you are responsible for your own actions, me leaving had nothing to do with your addiction" I state as I walk past him going to the kitchen.
I wasn't going to take the blame for everything.
"Why are you even telling me this?" I speak again , taking a sip of water.
