Arguments and Apologies~ Rafe

You and Rafe had been dating for 2 years, and have been inseparable ever since your first date. Everything in your relationship seemed so perfect until one day it didn't.

He stopped planning dates, responded to texts hours later, worked late hours, and seemed like he didn't want to spend any time with you.

You tried talking to him about it but every time you brought it up, he told you not to worry about it or either got really defensive and mad.

You tried to not worry, you really did but you couldn't help but fear the worst. Was he tired of you? Were you being too clingy? Did he want to breakup? Was he cheating on you?

Today, you were sat on your bed at home. You hadn't seen Rafe for a week and decided to call him.

It rung a few times before he picked up, "Hey?" He said. "Hi, Rafe. How are you?" You asked. "M'good. What's up?" He asked. "Nothing.. where are you?" You asked. "At the office. M'working."

"Oh.. never mind I was going to ask to hangout.. it's okay, then. Talk later?" You said. "Yeah, okay. Bye." He said and immediately hung up.

You knew you should trust him but a part of you was doubting him. Was he really at work. A few months ago he went into the office once every week and suddenly he was there every single time you called.

A few more days have passed and the only time you saw Rafe was for an hour yesterday where he came over to your house "after work" before leaving.

You tried to question him and all he said was stuff like "I'm too tired to talk." or "Can we talk about this later?" or "I told you to quit worrying about me." or some shit like "I'd never lie to you."

And you were beyond frustrated. He wouldn't even talk to you. You really didn't know what to think. You wanted to believe he was really working but you just couldn't. The Rafe you knew hated the office and would never work if he didn't have to.

So one day you called very early morning, knowing he would still be at home. "Hello?" He said. "Hi.." You said. "Good morning.. it's early, baby. What's up?" He said. "Can I come over.. wanna see you before you head to work." You said. "Hm? Oh yeah, I mean sure. I'd love to see you." He said. "Okay, be there soon."

You hung up the phone and got into your car, driving over to Rafe's. Once you got there you tried unlocking the door with your spare key, but was shocked when the key didn't work.

You tried again, but again your key didn't work. This is when you knew something was really wrong and you needed to put something into action now before this shit get's too far.

You rang the doorbell and after a few moments a sleepy, Rafe opened the door. He was shirtless and his sweats hung low on his hips, his hair was all messy. His dark eye bags made you immediately assume he hadn't slept last night which lead your mind to worse assumptions.

"Hey baby." He leaned down and pecked your lips. "Hi.. did you change the locks? My key didn't work." You said. "Oh, yeah I did. I lost my key and had to get a whole new thing. Forgot to mention it." He said, before pulling you in for a hug.

You hesitantly hugged him back before pulling away. "I need to talk to you, and please don't say not right now." You said. "Uhh okay?? About what?" He asked.

"Can we sit?" You said. He nodded, taking your hand and leading you to his bedroom. He sat down on the bed and you say beside him.

"What's up?" He asked. "Please don't lie when I ask this.. are you cheating on me?" You said. His eyes widened as he looked at you with shock. "Cheating on y- fuck no! I love you, baby. I'd never cheat on you!" He said.
