โYouโve always been against me!โ
Rafe had Sarah cornered at the dock, making it impossible for her to escape. You were at the docks late at night, picking up a package that was left at the front shipment of your dadโs fishing business. Once you grabbed the package, you heard a man yelling from the distance.
โDo you understand!โ The strong voice boomed throughout the docking area, echoing towards where you stood.
โWhere are you going, Sarah?โ Rafe says, chasing after his little sister.ย
โSarahโ was the only thing you were able to understand. โSarah!โ You drop your package and immediately ran towards the commotion. You quickly reached the main part of the dock, but there was no one there. It was suddenly silent, until you heard water splashing and a gasp for air.
You quickly turn around to find the nearest noise. After jumping over the rope, there you saw Rafe Cameron standing tall as he was drowning Sarah in a container of water. Your adrenaline acted fast, picking up a metal bar you found next to the ropes. Running up to him, you swing the metal bar to his back, causing him to collapse and releasing his grip on Sarah.ย
โOh my god, Sarah!โ You quickly pulled her out of the water.
Her lips were turning blue by the second she wasn't responding.
Finally, she gasps for air. Choking on the water she had accidentally swallowed.
โHey, hey! Are you okay?!โ you were painted with concern. She hunches over, while you hit her back to release more of the water.
โYeah, yeah. Iโm fin- y/n!โ she yells in warning. Rafe was suddenly behind you, grabbing you harshly.
โWhat are you doing here, y/n.โ His voice ran a chill down your spine.ย
โLet go of me!โ You struggle to escape from his brutal grasp, but that only made him hold on tighter.
โYouโre not supposed to be here.โ
He then drags you away from Sarah, and moved towards the exit.ย
โNo! Let go of her!โ Sarah attempts to run after him, but he turns around and pushes her down, causing her to hit her head on the ground.ย
You scream at her unconscious body lying there.
โYou think you could just save the day, huh? Everyone wants to save Miss. Sarah Cameron!โ
He shoves you into his truck, clicking the child safe locks, as he gets into the drivers seat.ย
โRafe! Let me out! Help!โ Your attempt to punch him and bang at the window was no use. Your resistance only made him angrier. Without any warning, Rafe reaches from under his seat and a black rectangular object appears in his hands.
โStop! Stop!โ he yells, you silently cry as his aim was now pointed at your forehead. Salty tears ran down your face, your vision so blurry from all the tears, yet the gun was so clear to see.ย
โHereโs whatโs gonna happen. Youโre gonna come with me, okay? No more screaming, and no more fighting, or else I will pull the trigger, alright?โย
You were crying so hard that your words were muffled, making it difficult for him to understand you.
โI said, alright!โ He shouted, repeating himself. You flinched, immediately clearing your throat. โYes! Alright!โ Your words were laced with fear. Rafe removed the gun away from your head, tucking it back under his seat. He turns on his car and quickly pulls out of the driveway towards the main road.ย
Quiet sobs escaped you while Rafe drove you to god knows where. The roads were too dark to make it out, all you heard was ocean waves crashing into the night. You glance at him slightly in hopes of creating some conversation. But he didnโt even flinch, his eyes were fixated on the dark road for about 10 minutes now. You opened your mouth, but you were quick to close it.ย
โWhat is it, y/n?โ Rafe says, his eyes still focused on the road. His tone was tense, but it was a bit more calmer than how it was earlier.
You gulped, not sure if anything you ask will get you killed.
ย โWhat are you going to do to me?โ You choked out, your voice comes out so little, so weak in comparison to Rafeโs.
He finally looks at you, his bloodshot eyes stares directly at your swollen ones. You werenโt the type to cause any drama. That was JJโs job. But since everyone on the goddamn island knew how much Rafe Cameron loves to stir shit up, you just never cared to interact with him. Simple as that. Plus, you donโt remember the last time you two had a proper conversation. Rafe was either too coked out or drunk to keep one with you. JJ once made an absurd joke saying how Rafe had given you the โPogue pass.โ
โPogue pass? you just made that shit up, JJโ you exclaimed.ย
โI did not!โ he stomped his foot on the ground.
You shoot him a โare you seriousโ look that he knew all too well.ย
โOkay, maybe I did. But listen, Iโm right. And you wanna know why Iโm right? Because out of all the times that Rafe had tormented usโฆโ JJโs index finger whirls into a circle and then points directly at you.ย
โHe made sure that you werenโt there.โย
That made you stop to think for a minute.ย
JJ threw another crushed up beer can on the grass as he watches you come to this realization.ย
โGive me an exampleโ you said, not fully convinced.
โThat time at the movies, you couldnโt go because some Kook family placed a large amount of fish orders that night.โย
โJJ thatโs nothing out of the ordinary-โ
โThen bam! Rafe and his little Kook minions attacks me, Kiara, and Pope.โ
โAh! ah! ah! And there was that other time when our bikes โmagically disappearedโ on the beach, but the only one left was yours. You had to leave early because you were late for dinner, and what does Rafe do? He picks a fight with John B.โ
You placed your hands on your hips.
โWell, maybe he didnโt want some hot pink bike from when I was nine.โ
โDoesnโt matter, you still had your bike.โ JJ shrugs. โOh and guess what? You still werenโt there!"
You playfully roll your eyes at JJ's crazy theory. There's no way that Rafe would create a plan to keep you from being involved in his violent activities.
"Iโm telling you y/n, Pogue pass, soft spot, pretty privilege, whatever the hell it is! Rafe doesnโt hate you as much as he hates us.โ
Now, if only you could tell JJ that Rafe has held you at gunpoint, kidnapped you, and is now going to finish you offโฆ
You would have placed a bet on it.
Rafe ignores your question and just mumbles, โWeโll be there soon.โ
Your heart starts to race even faster, you thought of so many possibilities all at once.
Is he going to take you somewhere to finish you off?
Drown you like what he did to Sarah?
Actually pulling the trigger this time?
Panic starts to flood your body and you had to think quick. Nowโs the time to act before you reach your final destination.
Running off on adrenaline, you suddenly shot your hand out to grab the steering wheel, causing the car to swerve left and right.
โHey! What the fuck are you doing!โ Rafe shouts, trying to get a hold of the wheel. But you didnโt let go. You didnโt care if you crashed, as long as he wasnโt going to be the cause of your death. The truck screeched in circles, and the smell of tires burns through your nose. However, Rafeโs grip was stronger. He swats your hand away and now has full control of the wheel. Rafe took a hard break, but the sudden turn made his truck hit a small tree off the side of the highway. The impact wasnโt hard enough for the airbags to inflate, but the front bumper had been damaged.ย
โShit!โ Rafe yelled, slamming his hand on the wheel. Now was your chance to escape. You busted the passenger door open, headache pounding as you run side to side of the opposite way of the truck. Dizziness and blurred stars start to form in your vision. You started to visualize your friends waiting for you at the end of the street. Sarah waving and encouraging you to make it towards her. As you run faster to them, you feel your body betray you at the worst moment. Your muscles felt like jelly, making it harder for you to keep up. And before you knew it, you dropped down to the pavement floor. Just like that, the environment around you faded like a black screen. Heavy steps and the sound of loafers rang through your ears. All there was left was the light sensation of your body weight being lifted off the ground from a pair of strong arms.ย

You passed out without even knowing it. A bump in the road causing you to shoot up from your unconscious body, hoping that all of this was just one big nightmare. A light grey jacket was draped over your shoulders. The jacket's scent consisted of soap and smoke fills your senses, making you realize that it was Rafe who had placed it there while you were out. You curse yourself for being so reckless, who knows what Rafe couldโve done to you while you were out? But as your eyes adjusted to the bright gate lights, there you saw a medium sized blue house, enough to fit a family of 5. It was not as extravagant as Tannyhill, but definitely in better condition than your house back on The Cut. This was probably one of the many beach houses that the Cameronโs own.
Rafe exits the drivers seat, opening your door and pulling you out from your seat. His grey jacket now on the floor. You wince at his cruel way of manhandling you, glaring at him at every chance you could get. He then pulls out a black bandana and tightly wraps it around your eyes. While also grabbing your two hands, and placing them behind your back. Rafe noticed how you stiffened when he tightened the zip ties around your wrists.
โThatโs what happens when you make stupid decisionsโ, He spits out.
You stumble up the patio steps, tripping over your own feet. Rafe opens the front door, pushing you to go in first. He leads you through the house, while your legs were trembling on every step of the staircase.
Before opening the first room that he could find, Rafe stops in the middle of the hallway. He digs for something in his pocket and takes a deep breath. You didn't need your eyes to know what he was doing in that moment.
Guilt starts to creep up on you while you wondered if Sarah was even alive. Yes, you saved her, but at the cost of putting her in danger again. Seeing her body go limp at the docks made you want to cry all over again. You were really hoping someone had found her. Snapping you out of your thoughts, Rafe pulls you the opposite way of where you two were standing at and opens a door. He forces your body onto the firm mattress, making you groan.
โPl-please, Rafe. Iโm so sorry, donโt do this to me. Just let me go, please.โ you beg so desperately, not knowing which direction heโs standing in.
His body weight dips onto the mattress when he stalks closer to you. His rough calloused hands shoots out to squeeze your cheeks together, making you form a squishy face. Your body starts to shake, preparing for the worst to come.
"You're lucky I got somewhere to be right now, or else I would've fucked the desperation outta you", he whispers into your ear like it's a secret.
The mattress then felt lighter below you when the sound of the door locking fills the room. Leaving you all alone, and tied up with no indication of when heโs coming back.
