CHAPTER FOUR you can't always get what you want -
Lainey got home and buried herself in sadness. She cried and screamed into her pillows and binged. She was halfway into her movie when she heard her doorbell ring. She ignored it, thinking it was Rafe and he would just go away. But then then it rang a third time so she walked down the steps.
Approaching the door, she looked out the peephole and saw Sarah. Lainey took a deep breath, unlocking the door and looking Sarah up and down.
"Is this a bad time? I've had the worst night." Sarah said and Lainey shook her head, letting her inside. Despite how she felt about Rafe, she cared about Sarah.
"Make that two of us. I'm actually a bit surprised you're here. I figured Rafe would have the whole Outer Banks picketing my house by now" Lainey said as they walked to her kitchen.
"Why would he do that? You're like the one thing in the world he cares about." Lainey said, clearly Sarah had not gotten the memo yet.
"Not anymore. Rafe and I broke up." Lainey shook her head as she grabbed a sparkling water out of her fridge.
"Wow. I'm so sorry." Sarah shook her head. "I mean I know that you guys had your problems and Rafe was probably the worlds worst boyfriend. But it's just always been Lainey and Rafe."
Lainey nodded her head. "I thought so too. But hey, we're still sisters forever." They both chucked as Lainey tried to remain positive. "So what happened at the party tonight?"
Sarah grabs her own drink out of their fridge and they head towards the living room. "It's more like what didn't happen. I'm such an idiot."
And maybe helping Sarah was what Lainey needed to get her mind off of Rafe for the night. They had a girls night and since Lainey was close to Topper and could win an award for dealing with a douche boyfriend, she gave her advice.
The next morning, they woke up on the couches of her living room which barely ever happened, they just got busy talking for hours.
Sarah had to get back home but she wanted Lainey to go with her to the cut. But Lainey refused to go inside so they agreed to meet about an hour later.
Sarah arrived back from her house and Lainey glanced at her as they walked to her car. "How's Rafe?"
"He wasn't there." Sarah shrugged as she approached the passenger seat. Lainey looked at the steering wheel as she thought of all the possibilities of where he could be.
"So what exactly are we going to do on the cut? I don't think either of our parents are gonna be very happy about this." Lainey says as she drives to the other side of the island.
"I just have to talk to John B. But you can't tell anybody. Especially not Topper." Sarah was aware of how close Topper and Lainey were but she also knew Lainey was trustworthy.
"Yeah, yeah. Okay." Lainey says as they approach John B's home. They both got out of the car and started walking towards him. Sarah throws John B a bag of popcorn and they go back and forth for a little bit about how she didn't get him fired.
"Okay, one more question." John B says and points to Lainey. "Why is Lainey McMillan here?" She had barely ever talked to any of the pogues but clearly they knew who she was.
"Nice to see you too, John B." Lainey smirks and Sarah shakes her head.
"Let's go." Sarah rolls her eyes at the boy and walks back to Lainey's car.
"He seems nice." Lainey shrugs as she gets into the drivers seat.
"He's not." Sarah said and Lainey rolled her eyes.
"I'll drop you back off at home. I gotta run by my parents." Lainey smiles.
And so she dropped Sarah back off at The Cameron's and drove to her family home three doors down from The Cameron's. Lainey had a close relationship with her parents unlike most of her friends.
She knocked on the door and her father answered and let her in. "Lainey May." Her father hugged her. "Nice to see you, babe"
"Hi dad." Lainey smiles, returning the hug and looking around. Usually her mother would have come said hi by now but there was no sight of her. "Where's mom?" She asked, looking around.
"Oh. She's getting drinks with Rose Cameron." Her father responded. Oh fuck. Lainey never told her mother about her break up with Rafe.
Lainey took a deep breath. "I actually have to talk to you about The Cameron's." She said as she walks to the kitchen and he follows her.
"Is everything okay? He didn't propose to you right now, he he? Because I find it quite offensive that he didn't ask the father before he did." Lainey looked back at him with a confused look as she pours herself a cup of coffee.
"No. Rafe didn't propose." Lainey shakes her head and started to talk about what really happened but he cut her off again.
"Oh god, are you pregnant?" Her father asks and her eyes widen.
"What the hell? No I'm not pregnant! Rafe and I broke up." Lainey says and his eyes widen now.
"Oh. Wow." Her father couldn't help but be a little bit excited to cut her ties with Rafe Cameron - he was often a bad influence on her. "Well I guess I don't have to tell you about what happened at the golf course this morning."
Lainey sits down at the dining room table with a worried look as her father sat next to her. "What are you talking about? What happened at the golf course?"
"Well Rafe was with that boy, Topper at the golf course this morning and a pogue came to deliver groceries and they just jumped him. Rafe even almost hit him with a golf club. I had never seen him like this before so I went over there and I told them to back off or I would call the police on them." Her father said.
"Oh god." Lainey put her head in her hands. "I have to go. I'll come back for dinner." Lainey said, quickly heading out the door and over to The Cameron's. Unsure of what she was going to do when she actually got there.
