my

I told him to stop flirting with me. Stop trying to make this work. He was 20; I was 24.

“Will, I have a job to do, and I can not be caught in this.” I wave my hands around. “Mess with you! This is incredibly irresponsible.” I mumble, stepping back, trying to get myself away from his space. We were inches apart in this small, stuffy office.

All the more reason to remind me why the fuck I am here in this position with him.

This is my work.

“You’re making things so fucking difficult. Over a number that isn’t even that significant,” he groans loudly. Too loudly for my liking.

I swallow my pride and look up at him. “It is significant, and you know it,” I say angrily, now annoyed with his tone.

He rolls his eyes and walks towards the door, tugging his beautiful curly hair. I groan and stomp my foot childishly.

“You’re like a… Like a friend to me.”

He snaps his head towards me with anger in his eyes.

“That’s bullshit, and you know it.”

He sighs and sits down in one of my chairs.

you were real. 

you were everything to quinn hughes. 

you and quinn had met about ten months ago after a devastating loss against his brother’s team, the devils. he was sulking. pouting and whining over this loss. he begged his parents to come to vancouver to watch it knowing they’d say yes. anything for their boys right? 

he felt like a failure. a loser. he knew jack was always number one but he- 

you know what, that is beside the point. 

he saw you dancing with your friends. happy and glowing. he was envious. the jealousy of feeling happy. he wanted to have an ounce of your joy. 

you noticed he was staring but pretended you didn’t see him. in all honesty you wanted to walk over there and ask him what he wanted. 

you knew better. 

that was until he finally approached you and asked you what your name was. 

- 

“you are the most beautiful girl i’ve ever seen,” he slurs lightly tipsy from downing too many shots to count. 

“oh my gosh,” you cant help but belt out a laugh. he was so cute coming over here all flushed and excited to talk to you. you felt heat build in your belly. 

“i’m y/n,” you smile stepping closer to him so you could hear over the loud music. 

“y/n” he whispers giggling to himself. “pretty, im huggy” 

“huggy,” you giggle with raised brows. he smiles and blows you a kiss. 

“ok.. it’s actually quinn,” he smiles leaning on the bar. 

you ask to dance. 

he nods. 

you and quinn dance all night before parting ways. you give him your number and hope he texts or calls. or even remembers you. 

of course he did. 

- 

you watch the trees go by while looking through the windows of quinn’s jeep. he squeezes your thigh getting your attention. you look over and smile at him. 

“penny for your thoughts?” he questions. 

“nothing much,” you smile tapping your fingers against his hand on your thigh. 

he stares foward not saying anything. knowing you are lying. he understands your fears. he wants you to share your frustration with him. 

“quinn, im not like the usual girls you bring home,” you say shakily. feeling the knot in your throat you feared you never had to feel again. 

quinn flinches at the use of his name and not baby or babe. 

“sweetheart, i didn’t bring anyone home. well- let me rephrase that,” you giggle lightly at his nervous antics. 

“look, you are the first girl i’ve brought home. sure other’s have met my brother’s but that’s not important. i want you to meet my parents, cousins, and home town friends. i want them to know you. you are everything to me. i need them to know that,” he answered blushing at his own feelings. 

you feel a tear slide down your cheek. you wipe it before speaking. 

“god you’re so romantic,” you mused bringing his hand to your mouth to kiss it softly. 

“i love you y/n,” he whispers seriously. 

“i love you more huggy,” you beamed. 

- 

okay maybe quinn’s little speech in the car was super cute and made you feel extremely loved. this was not going to be easy. you are a woman of color. this is like white people central. we don’t date nhl players they don’t usually like us! 

you looked down at your hands feeling like you’re floating. quinn helps you out of his lifted jeep and you smile up at him fixing your sundress that road up in the car. 

he kisses your cheek before pulling you in front of him so he could walk behind you and hold you securely. 

“quinn!” a woman’s voice shoutes from across the yard. his smile grows. 

you know that she is his mother. you tense at the sight. she gets closer and you take a deep breath. 

“hey ma,” quinn gushes holding you close to his side while hugging his mom. 

she looks over at you and her eyes soften. 

“you must be miss y/n,” she says looking you in the eyes. “you are stunning dear, my goodness,” she praises looking up at quinn. 

he beams with pride kissing the side of your head before ellen agrees to head inside with you two. 

as the night progressed you had met jim, jack and his posse, luke and luke’s best friend dylan. they were all really nice and were very kind. none of them seemed uncomfortable and treated you like family right away. 

- 

you sat out on the patio staring at the moon as it shines down on the giant lake. you grab your glass of wine and sip it. you hear the patio door open but make no move to see who it is as you assumed it was quinn.

“hey sweetie,” you look up wide eyed at ellen who comes and sits next to you. 

“hi,” you cautioned nervous you’d fuck up. 

“i hope you are feeling welcomed, we were really excited to meet you.” she smiles widely.

“you are all quinn talks about when he calls, no hockey. you first. always.” she laughs and you join her blushing at this new information. 

“he would just gush about how happy you make him and how much he feels loved and secure,” she trembles a little bit. 

“thank you for loving him, he deserves this kind of love,” you nod biting your lip holding back tears. “you know he’s never brought a girl home to michigan,” 

you laugh remembering he said that earlier. 

“yes, he might have mentioned it,” 

she smirks and grabs your hands. “is this okay?” she questions before officially grabbing your hands. you smile and nod letting her hold them. 

“we are so happy you are here, honest to god,” she beams softly. 

- 

“hey pretty girl,” quinn smiles watching you walk into his room. you plop down on his bed and groan into the blanket.

he chuckles tapping your head. you look up and smile dumbly at him.

“thank you for bringing me here,” you praise crawling up towards him. when you reach him you climb onto his lap straddling him.

he places his large hands on your hips rubbing softly on the exposed skin between your shorts and tank top. he kisses your jaw softly moving closer to your lips. he pulls away slowly looking at you with loving eyes.

“i plan on bringing you home everytime,” he smiles placing a soft yet firm kiss on your lips. you giggle and grab his face deepening the kiss.

you stomach growls. there’s silence untjl you both let out load laughs.

“c’mon baby let’s get you fed,” quinn laughs patting your thighs.

a/n: oh baby p2 will be up this week!! stay tuned

“you fucked up, big time asshole,” hayden says pointing directly at rafe. rafe sighs shaking his head.

“no, you did. i fucking like her,” rafe wipes the blood from his mouth. he shakes his head feeling tears threatening to fall. he never cries, but he’s fucking angry. more than he’s ever been in his life. this was a new form of anger he’s never felt before.

hayden grits his teeth feeling himself getting angrier. “you can’t be serious right now, you have never showed any form of liking towards her, why all of a sudden now? this is complete bullshit cameron and you know it,” hayden was seeing red. “is this some sick joke towards me, is this about julia? if it is that’s really fucked,” 

his own best friend betraying him. macking his sister in front of him. him and rafe both liked the same girl and high school, hayden actually making a move and dating her. he shakes his head furiously. he mumbles curse words also wiping blood from his face. 

“no,” rafe frowns. “fuck you for even bringing up julia. this has nothing to do with her,” rafe shakes his head. “this is about y/n and me, no one else,”

“just know by the way, she didn’t kiss me. i kissed her. she was only trying to protect you,” rafe spits pushing passed hayden towards the exit of the druthers.

he stops in his tracks turning back around. “don’t fuck this up for me, i really like your sister and i will not let you change that,” rafe leaves the boat. hayden swears throwing a pillow across the main cabin of the druthers. he was beyond pissed.

-

y/n makes her way home sobbing uncontrollably. she wasn’t sure how long the run was but she made it home. she stops at the front of her front door wiping the tears from her face quickly. 

“hey, hey whats wrong,” she hears her best friend macey say from behind her. “oh thank god,” she sobs harder falling into macey’s arms. “y/n what the fuck, why are you crying. honey tell me what’s wrong,” y/n continues to sob uncontrollably. macey sighs and pulls her into a tight hug. y/n finally takes a deep breath. 

“i, i kissed rafe and hayden showed up and he punched rafe and they just kept fighting and i couldn't stop them and i- i macey. there was blood- i didn’t know what to do. i’m so mad at hayden because- god what the fuck, i-i” she shakes crying and spilling out her words. macey understood completely and nodded listening to her. 

“breathe y/n, its going to be okay. they are grown, they can figure this out on their own. you need to focus on yourself okay?” she says standing y/n up and walking her inside. y/n nods wiping her tears. “good timing,” y/n laughs softly. macey smiles and kisses her forehead. “my best friend senses were tingling,” she laughs as well. 

rafe stands in his bathroom cleaning his cuts and bruises. “jeez rafe what happened to you,” wheezie says standing in the door way. “dont worry about it wheez,” he mumbles hissing at the sting from the rubbing alcohol. “i saw you on the druthers with y/n,” she says. rafe turns around and looks at her with wide eyes. “did you tell hayden we were on the boat,” he sets the cotton ball down and leans his head down. “well yeah, he was looking for you. why?” she questions confused. 

“get out,” he says firmly. she furrows her brows. “what was i not supposed to do that?” she mumbles. “wheezie leave before i yell at you,” he says turning around scaring her. she blinks rapidly walking out of his room. he screams a loud fuck slamming his fist into the wall breaking it. pieces flying on to the floor. wheezie jumps at the noise running down stairs. 

-

y/n and macey sit by the pool dipping their feet in sitting in silence. “ready to actually talk about what happened?” macey asks looking over at y/n who was playing with the rings on her fingers. 

y/n sighs rubbing her eyes not caring about her messy makeup. “i, i really don’t know what happened,” she whispers biting her lip. “i asked him if he and hayden had a rule of not dating siblings. i felt bold in the moment but maybe i was stupid for asking. he took it as a free for all to kiss me,” y/n leans back on her hands and looks up at the sunset slowly going down.

 “you kissed rafe,” macey says looking at her. “no, he kissed me,” y/n says still not looking up. “what?” macey gasps. “he kissed you? y/n what the fuck! you’ve always wanted this,” she says trying to be excited for her best friend. y/n smiles weakly. “yeah but not like this mace, thinks got way out of hand. i’ve never seen my brother act like this, especially towards rafe,” she says still biting her lip nervously. 

“i cant explain it either, i know it’s an unsaid rule, but wow i didn’t think it was that big of a deal,” she mumbles. 

“there are certain things best friends don’t do, i guess kissing your best friends sister is one of them,” y/n wants to punch her brother. but she knows that doesn’t get her anywhere. 

“it was an amazing kiss mace, he kissed me like he actually felt something. i don’t know call me crazy but i think maybe he has always felt this way towards me and we both were walking on egg shells avoiding it,” macey nods. “i think you need to talk to him and sort this out, without telling your brother of course,” she says tapping y/n’s thigh. 

“that’s the thing, i didn’t tell hayden i was even going to tannyhill. i was going there to see sarah anyways not rafe,” she furrows her brows. 

“huh,” macey says rubbing her chin. “well that doesn’t matter, like i said. they are big boys and can handle their own problems. this is about you and rafe and you and hayden. you need to talk to both of them and explain to them how you feel,” y/n nods slowly finally looking her best friend in the eyes. “got it?” macey says sturnly. “got it,” y/n replies with a slow nod.

“well i better get ready for family dinner,” y/n says getting up out of the pool. she grabs macey’s hands helping her up. “you know the monroe house. always putting on a fucking show,” y/n sighs cracking her knuckles.

“i originally came over to borrow a dress because its me and kelce’s 2 year anniversary tomorrow,” she looks down shyly. “holy shit, i completely forgot im so sorry mace. of course come with me,” y/n and macey spend at least 45 minutes trying on dresses before they find the perfect one for macey.

- 

saturday dinner at the monroe’s was a must and very important thing her parents made up to keep the family close. y/n wanted to puke, she did not want to interact with her brother at all. she was beyond mad at him. there was no excuse to use violence no matter how mad he was at rafe. she also wanted to vomit because the pierce family was joining them after begging her parents to not invite them. she stares at herself in the mirror messing with her hair. she felt disgusting. she showered for an hour and still couldn’t manage to wipe away the feeling she was having about the whole hayden and rafe situation. 

she reaches for her phone and decides to text rafe. 

y/n: can we meet up later?

rafe: sure, meet me at the end of your block.

y/n: ok, see you then

rafe: fuck it i’m coming over now, i can’t wait

y/n: … i have family dinner with the pierce family

rafe: even more of a reason for me to come

y/n: rafe are you out of your mind?

rafe: just for you ;)

she puts her phone down groaning at rafe’s stubbornness. now how the hell is she going to explain his cuts and bruises as well as her brothers. oh no they’re going to be in the same room at the same time. no no no rafe can not come. she grabs her phone calling him. his phone rings but he didn’t pick up. 

“shit rafe,” she fumbled with her phone in her hand getting annoyed. “pick up,” she groans again even louder than last time. 

she throws her phone at her bed and kicks some throw pillows from her bed that she recently threw on the floor. she hears a knock at the door. she quickly runs out of her bedroom to get the door before anyone else does. 

“got it,” she shouts moving fast past the living room. thankfully everyone was outside waiting for the cooks to finish dinner. 

she opens it to reveal rafe standing there in a blue polo and black shorts. she grabs his arm and pulls him in slamming the door and pushing him towards the stairs. when they finally reach her bedroom she locks her door.

“are you fucking stupid?” she hisses pushing his chest. “first you kiss me, get in a fight with my brother and then you show up to my house on our weekly dinner night with guest. my brother looks like he was attacked by a dog and you do to,” she says feeling her blood pressure rise.

“y/n listen to me please, i want you to know that i’m serious about this,” he points between them. “i dont care what your brother or ex have to say. it’s not about them. it’s about us,” he steps closer to her removing any space that was left between them. he places both hands on her hips, reaching up to tilt her head up to look at him. she closes her eyes feeling relaxed in his touch. “we can’t,” she whispers grabbing his wrist. 

“go on a date with me,” he says inching his face closer to hers. “rafe,” she inhales. he places gentle kisses down her jaw and on the corner of her mouth. “let me show you exactly how to be treated,” he finally places a soft peck on her lips.

“okay, fine. but please promise you’ll fix things with hayden first,” she whispers placing her hands on his cheeks. she traces her fingers over the bruises on his cheek and jawline. she kisses him this time earning a moan rafe. she pulls away laughing. rafe stares at her in pure adoration. 

“deal,” he smiles. “i cant believe it took my step mom and sister calling me out to make me realize what i’ve been looking for,” he chuckles rubbing circles on her hips. 

“i’ve liked you for a long time,” she admits quietly, rubbing her hands up and down his chest. “yeah?” he smiles looking into her eyes. “yes, could you not tell,” she lightly slaps his chest.

“hmm i really am oblivious,” he says placing a long passionate kiss on her lips. “okay, i’m glad we got our tension taken care of. i really want to apologize for my behavior towards your brother. it was uncalled for. i really didn’t want to hurt him or you,” he says stepping back still holding her hands. 

“it’s not my place to tell you if it hurt hayden, but i know it did. i will fix things with him,” rafe was sure about it. he was going to talk to hayden wether hayden wanted to or not. rafe knew that hayden would be mad for awhile, but he just wants him to understand that this isn’t some hard thing to get back at him for. he genuinely wants to do things right with y/n.

“so, the dinner,” he smiles awkwardly. “do i not come or…?”y/n stares at him blankly. she shakes her head drawing her bottom lip between her teeth.

“you know that’s a terrible idea,” she mumbles. “exactly why i think i should come downstairs with you,” he smirks finally letting her free from his arms. she scoffs and walks back over to her bathroom to finish up her makeup adding last touches.

“rafe, i think you know what the best thing to do here is,” she says applying some chapstick to her dry lips. “yes to join you,” he says smiling like a little kid.

-

“uh um rafe! it’s so nice to see you. hayden didn’t mention you were joining us for dinner,” y/n’s mother speaks looking over at hayden with confused eyes. “didn’t invite him, looks like he decided to be here himself,” hayden grumbles annoyed.

“mrs monroe, it’s a pleasure to be here,” rafe smiles lightly rubbing y/n’s thigh under the table. “actually y/n invited me,” y/n coughs and swallows hard noticing davis staring holes into the side of her head. “alright then let’s eat,” she says sitting down next to her husband.

the dinner goes well for the adults, meanwhile on the other hand hayden is making angry eyes at rafe scowling and rolling his eyes every time rafe says anything. y/n is sweating buckets, she is so nervous. she’s surprised her parents haven’t mentioned rafe or hayden’s busted faces. she looks around the table quickly noticing davis’s younger sister speaking up about her last day of middle school. oh what it’s like to be innocent and naive.

“so rafe why are you exactly here?” davis speaks out breaking the silence between the teens. “like i said y/n invited me,” he shrugs not giving davis anymore explanation. “hmm why would she do that?” davis laughs lowly looking rafe up and down.

“don’t know buddy, but it could be because i’m all in for this one. unlike some people,” rafe smirks taking a bite of his food. “well at least i don’t have to fight hayden to prove anything, pathetic of you there cameron. but not suprised since you are you anyways,”

rafe clenches his jaw and grabs y/n’s hand. she turns over to notice his face getting red with anger. she rubs his thigh soothingly assuring him that everything is okay. davis continues to push planning on not backing down anytime soon. 

“shut the fuck of davis, you are a low life who goes around making everyone else miserable. fuck you,” with that y/n stands up and excuses herself from the table. her mother and father look at her in shock. rafe follows after her mumbling a bunch of sorry’s towards the parents. 

hayden rubs his face looking at his parents and the pierce parents. “you really dont know when enough is enough,” he sighs looking davis up and down. “i think it’s best if you guys leave,” y/n’s father says standing up and removing himself from the dinning table. 

“we are so sorry for our son he is jus-,” he cuts off davis’s father with a cough. “it’s for the best,” y/n’s mother smiles weakly cleaning off the table. davis scoffs and shakes his head. 

“whatever we dont need them anyways,” davis says walking out of the home in anger. “your daughter is nothing but a loser who didn’t deserve me anyways. with that hayden walks towards him quickly earning a scream from davis. his parents quickly following him never turning back. 

-

“you know i dont care what davis has to say about me,” rafe says sitting on the edge of y/n’s bed. y/n shakes her head looking at the ground. “this is why, you should’ve waited until after dinner to come here,” she says walking towards him. “this whole thing is stupid,” she mumbles rubbing her arm. “rafe this is so fucking stupid,” she says staring into his blue eyes. “i think you need to figure things out with hayden before we start anything, please for me. ” 

he looks at her with sad eyes. he knows hayden, and he wont change how he feels due to his stubbornness. “y/n,” he says pulling her in by her waist. “i will do anything for you, because i know how important your brother is to you,” he whispers. 

“thank you,” she smiles planting a kiss on his forehead. he smiles back at her suddenly pulling her down on top of him. she squeals planting her hands on either side of his head. he doesn’t miss the opportunity to plant a kiss on her lips. she giggles against his lips kissing him back leaning further down. 

rafe wraps his arms around her torso pulling her closer as they make-out. she pulls away looking at him with flushed cheeks and swollen lips. “go home cameron before things go somewhere it doesn’t need to,” she whispers kissing him one more time before standing up. 

“you’re right because once i start, i always finish,” he winks getting up and walking towards her door. “i can promise you that baby,” he smirks opening the door to walk out. y/n looks at him biting her lip. once he leaves she falls back against her bed and sighs. 

“holy shit,” she whispers. 

                                  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

laura knocks on y/n’s door softly. “can i come in?” y/n stands up to unlock the door and open it. “hey, i saw davis,” she says with a sad face stepping inside. “yeah fucking fantastic,” y/n chuckles opening her book back up. she lays back against her head board and sighs deeply. “are you okay?” laura asks sitting down on the bottom of y/n’s bed. “never better,” y/n says sarcastically. laura frowns and grabs her sister’s book from her. “don’t act all distant with me bubba, look im sorry about spilling things about rafe to hayden, but i can not deal with heart broken y/n again,” y/n looks at her with wide eyes.

“i- i, laura i cant believe mom and dad would even let his family into our home, especially after what happened between us,” y/n looks down tears threatening to fall down her cheeks. “i’ve finally pushed him away and here is he is in my fucking backyard! can you belive that,” she throws her arms up in disgust.

laura grabs her hands and holds them tightly. “listen, i will talk to mom and dad okay,” y/n nods and blinks away the tears. “you don’t worry about davis. i won’t let him get anywhere near you,” she stands up and walks to the other side of the bed to lay next to her baby sister. she cuddles next to her and y/n finally lets out her tears.

-

as rafe makes his way up to his room he is stopped by his sister. “why didn’t you take olivia home?” sarah asks with a raised brow. “i don’t know where she lives,” rafe says walking past her. “liar, you could’ve gotten her address easy, she was here for hours after you left. i couldn’t get her to leave,” she groans following him up the stairs. “not my problem sarah,” he says waving his hands in the air. “you like y/n. you always find a way to take her away from me.” she says crossing her arms over her chest. why the fuck does everyone keep saying this. he sighs and looks at sarah. “i don’t. i have an obligation to be nice to her because she’s hayden’s sister. i’m not always a dick you know,” he grumples annoyed.

“no, that’s bullshit because hayden doesn’t give a fuck about me or wheez,” she shakes her head in disbelief. “what are you smoking sarah?” he taps his temple with his fingers. “hayden has done numerous things for you and wheez, stop trying to push your imagination on me, i’m fucking tired and sick of your bullshit,” he snaps leaving sarah speechless. “whatever rafe,” she hisses storming away from him. he shakes his head and shuts his door.

y/n walks along the road listening to her headphones and kicking rocks. she needed to be alone. also as far away from the monroe residents as she could be. she couldn’t take a second more in that household. not when davis pierce was there. her parents know he cheated, they know he even video taped the whole thing like a sick mother fucker.

she shivers at the sudden coldness that blew through figure 8. she stops and sits on a bench outside of someone’s house. she looks at her phone to read the time. 6:44pm, she knew she would be late for dinner and she couldn’t give any fucks to be completely honest. she didn’t want to see any of the pierce family’s faces. they were all dead to her. sick and twisted people. her parents aren’t any better, allowing them back into their home after their son caused permanent damage to her. she pulls her legs to her chest as a tear rolled down her cheek. “pull yourself together y/n,” she says pinching her thighs. “stop acting like a fucking baby,”

y/n doesn’t want to go home. she doesn’t want to face reality and see davis. she stands up and pulls herself together. she knew the perfect place to blow off some steam and relax. the island club.

she finally reaches the island club and steps inside. to her suprise she sees sarah there with topper. he didn’t look very happy. she didn’t want to be nosy, but she needed drama that wasn’t hers for awhile. she sits down at the bar and listens carefully to what they are talking about.

“look top, i understand that. i just don’t see us working out,” she says lip wobbling. she didn’t actually feel bad. she’s a good fucking actress. “there’s someone else isn’t there,” he says sitting back. “what? no topper, you don’t love me. you love the idea of me,” she goes on voice becoming more stubborn.

“hey monroe what can i get started for you,” she looks up to see jj a pogue working behind the bar. “hey jj, i’ll take a sprite,” she smiles. “no wiskey?” he winks filling her cup up. she laughs softly and thanks him for the drink. “no, ho wiskey today maybank. i have kook shit to do with my family,” she takes a sip before tuning back in to topper and sarah. “it’s over topper, except it,” she says before standing up. “put it on cameron,” she says to jj before storming out of the building.

when y/n finally gets home she sees her siblings and parents all sitting on the outside furniture. she sighs relieved that davis was gone and she could finally enjoy some peace. “hey baby, where did you go? you missed dinner,” her mother asks. “just went for a walk,” she says sitting down next to hayden. he looks at her with a frown knowing that she was gone because of the pierce’s. she lays her head on hayden shoulder relaxing. “well, we saw davis and his family,” her mom says sitting up. y/n’s heart sank and that statement. “yeah, good you for,” she says with little energy. “yes, he has changed very much. more mature,” she adds looking at y/n. “cool,” y/n says not looking at her mom, fearing if she did she might cry.

“mom, stop. you know that they’re assholes and only want to befriend you and sad to get business,” hayden says looking at their mom dead in the eyes. “you of all people should not be letting that disgusting family into our home,”

their mom looks at hayden in shock. “i understand he made a mistake, but people change,” she says furrowing her eyebrows. “people like that, don’t change,” he says getting up and walking away.

y/n watches him walk away pinching her thighs once again. “cut them off, or we will do it for you,” laura says grabbing y/n’s hand and walking them into the house. y/n follows her sister into the house and smiles at her. “thank you,” she whispers hugging her sister from behind. “of course bubs, i won’t let them belittle your feelings for money, not again,” she says holding y/n’s hands.

-

the next couple weeks y/n avoided her parents like the plague. they didn’t cut the pierce’s off so she took matters into her own hands by giving them the silent treatment. she walks up to tannyhill. maybe sarah won’t be busy and she can waste time to avoid family dinner once again.

before she could even knock, the door opens revealing rafe about to leave. “hey y/n, what are you doing here?” he questions sliding outside. “oh uh, i was here to see if sarah was home,” this wasn’t a complete lie. y/n actually wanted to see sarah, but seeing rafe gave her heart a kick start. she wanted to feel some kind of happiness since all she’s been feeling lately was pain from her parents and ex boyfriend.

he looks her up and down checking her out. she had on a tight pink crop top and jean shorts. her body was out of this world. he swallows hard before shaking the thought and answers her. “she’s actually gone, she’s been out all night. i don’t actually know where she is,” he says rubbing the back of his neck. y/n nods and backs up letting him step onto the patio. “so i assume you don’t know when she’ll be back,” she says looking at rafe’s green jacket. “yeah i’m sorry,” he offers her a seat on the swing telling her maybe sarah will be back in the next 45 minutes.

y/n sits on the swing and swings watching rafe answer phone call after phone call. he was serious about being an officer for his frat. rafe ends the call and turns around looking right at her.

“want to do something?” he asks sitting down next to her. “like us? you and me?” she points to both of them. “yeah silly, who else,” he chuckles flipping his phone in his hands. “sure,” she smiles looking over at him. “perfect,” he says helping her off the swing. her heart pangs in her chest staring at her hands in rafe’s. she swallows as he lets go and she follows.

y/n takes in the druthers. she has never actually been on the boat, she has seen it from afar but never stepped foot on the infamous boat. she looks around and drags her fingers against the nice furniture that accompanied the interior. "nice yeah?" rafe asks sitting down on the couch. y/n looks at him as he sits back spreading his legs wider. "this is crazy nice," she smiles avoiding eye contact with rafe. “i knew you camerons were rich, but it shocks me every time,” she laughs leaning against the railing of the patio.

the sun shines brightly on y/n's face. rafe has never noticed how pretty she looked sunkissed and smiling. now that he thought about it, she always looked lost around him. almost like she was afraid of him. he smiled to himself thinking about seeing this side of y/n made him feel things he has never felt before. he shakes the feeling and stands up walking towards her.

"why did you bring me here rafe," she says lowly not looking at him. "what do you mean?" he questions standing next to her. she turns towards him. "you brought me out to your dad's boat, is this some trick you use on all girls," she says placing a piece of her hair behind her ear.

"no, no what. i brought you out here because you've never seen the druthers and i thought- i thought that maybe we could be friends," he says looking out at the water once again.

now he was the one avoiding eye contact. y/n nods and bites her lip. she plays with her necklace. she slowly slides closer to rafe who was leaning against the railing. he looks over at her and his stomach drops. she was now touching his arm with her own.

"do you and hayden have some sort of rule against dating each other's siblings?" she asks curiously. rafe's eyes widen and he looks at her mouth agape. "what do you mean?" he looks her up and down noticing her lip between her teeth. "i don't know, i-" she gets cut off by rafe pulling her in for a abrupt but gentle kiss.

y/n gasps into his mouth giving him access to slide his tongue in her mouth. her heart rate is at least 180bmp right now. rafe grabs her hips and pushes her against the railing. y/n wraps her arms around his neck standing on her tip toes to reach his tall frame. this wasn't happening right now. she was not kissing rafe cameron on his multi-million dollar boat. they pull apart breathing heavy smiling at each other. “there was no spoken rule but i’m sure there-“ rafe gets cut off by your brothers loud voice on the other side of the boat.

"what the fuck is this cameron," she hears her brother's voice from the otherside of the boat. y/n's eyes widen and she feels her chest cave in. rafe doesn't let go of her. he leans his head against her shoulder and groans. “he’s going to murder me,” he whispers before turning around and letting her go.

hayden walks quickly towards them and punches rafe dead in the jaw. rafe stumbles back letting go of y/n causing her to gasp at her brother's actions. "you fucking scum, i told you not to mack on my sister," rafe straightens up and holds his jaw. "you broke bro code asshole," he takes another blow to rafe's face and rafe stumbles once again taking it.

“you never once fucking said that,” rafe says standing up holding his jaw. “i didnt think i had to,” hayden says completely red in the face. rafe swears under his breath before punching hayden back. “you kissed my sister, my baby sister. the one thing off limits man,” hayden says sending a punch at rafe’s face once again. rafe pushes hayden by the shoulders sending him back and stumbling on his ass.

“you don’t get to do this hayden, not now,” rafe walks towards him anger seething through him. “you don’t get to choose who i like, especially if it’s your sister. we’re both capable of making decisions,” hayden quickly stands up and punches rafe repeatively. he was pissed.

“hayden, rafe, please stop," she says in pure terror tears forming in the corner of her eyes. rafe throws a punch at hayden hitting him right in the nose. rafe was taller and a little stronger than hayden which scared y/n. she has never seen her brother or rafe use violence.

"i kissed him," she shouts over them punching each other. hayden stops and looks at her in shock. "what," he whispers. "you kissed him?" he says letting his grip go on rafe's shirt. "yes now will you two fucking stop," she quickly walks away grabbing her purse and running far from tannyhill forgetting about her car and first kiss with rafe.

friday 7:12am 

making her way down the stairs to head to school y/n hears her older brother talking to rafe. fuck. god what the fuck. why is he here? it’s 7am! she fixes her backpack strap and slowly walk towards the door. “y/n.” she hears her father say from his office. suddenly rafe and hayden look over at her. “damn it,” she squeezes her fists together and turning towards her dad. “hey dad, good morning.” he stands up from his desk chair and makes his way towards her slowly. “why are you leaving the house so early?” it was her last day of high school and she wanted to catch up with her friends. 

“just wanted to see my friends,” she smiles lightly before turning back towards the door. “y/n you need to eat,” she hears her brother say. she groans quietly. she soon makes her way towards the kitchen to see hayden and rafe standing on the other side of the island. their large figure 8 home gives her at least 6 feet of distance from rafe. she bites the inside of her cheek before making eye contact with rafe. that alone made her heart stop. she was extremely nervous all of a sudden. she knew why she just didn’t want to be in this situation in the first place. hayden sets a plate in front of her placing a blueberry muffin on it that he heated up in the oven. 

“i was going to eat it, but i figured you needed it more than me,” he says shutting the oven off and pushing the plate towards her. “thanks,” she mumbles taking a bite. rafe looks back at her brother. “so, you think i could be an officer for the fraternity,” rafe says leaning against the counter. “oh yeah, definitely. especially with the name cameron you are already a shoe in,” hayden laughs. her family has always been close to the cameron’s. it was always the monroe’s and cameron’s, the richest people on the island of killdare and honorable alum of chapel hill. 

“thanks for the muffin hayden, i’m gonna head out,” y/n says climbing down from her stool. hayden nodes and goes back to talking to rafe. 

- 

“he looked so good mace, he was doing doing absolutely nothing, like he’s walking sex” y/n groans while laying her head against her locker. “who?” she hears a voice ask from behind her. it was no one other than sarah cameron. the sophomore stares up at y/n with wide eyes. “oh uh hey sarah,” she laughs awkwardly because she almost got caught drooling over the blonde’s older brother. “i came over here to invite you to my annual last day of school party. parents are out of town,” she smiles ear to ear. “also rafe is back so he’ll be able to get booze from someone,” 

macey laughs and thanks sarah for the invite. sarah walks away quickly catching up with topper and his other friends to invite them as well. “you know, hayden doesn’t want you anywhere near rafe,” macey sighs. “yeah i know, he’s a cock block,” she slams her locker shut. “i understand the whole bro code thing, but if i wanted it first it shouldn’t be breaking bro code,” y/n mumbles biting her lip. “rafe doesn’t see you like that babe, im sure hayden has warned him a million times,” she says patting y/n’s back looking at her sadly. “i know, god why won’t he see me as more than just his best friends little sister?” y/n frowns closing her eyes. 

after the last bell rang everyone floods the hallways and outside the school to finally enjoy freedom. y/n grabs the last of her things from her locker. she looks at it one last time before she shuts it and walks towards the exit. “hey y/n! wait up!” she hears sarah shout from behind her. sarah catches up to her and wraps her arm around y/n. “you’re coming tonight right?” sarah asks all giddy. “of course, how could i miss a cameron party,” y/n laughs. “good, i have to tell you something big, but you have to promise you won’t tell anyone,” she says biting her lip nervously. “yeah of course hop in,” y/n says unlocking her car. 

“i may have kissed john b,” she spills quickly. y/n looks over at her with wide eyes. “what,” she gasps. “what about topper?” y/n asks breathlessly. “we uh we’re still together, but i want to end things with him. he just isn’t the one for me,” she sighs laying back against the seat. “you’re 16 you have lots of time to find out about who you want sarah.” y/n is still processing what sarah just said. “but... you know how much your brother and his friends aka your boyfriend hate the pogues,” she rubs her face and frowns again. “i know i just, he’s so sweet and he treats me better than topper,” 

y/n sits back and looks at sarah with sympathy. “look maybe you need to talk to topper and tell him how you’re feeling before you decide anything,” y/n says starting her car. “also am i picking up wheezie?” she asks to lighten the mood. “oh yeah she was going to walk, but i told her i would find a ride,” sarah laughs softly. “alright lets go,” 

- 

friday night 10:23pm

y/n looks through her clothes and finally picks out an outfit for the party and makes her way down stairs. she finds her older sister standing in the living room talking to her brother about something involving the family business. she looks at them waiting for them to stop. “y/n, you look so cute where are you going?” laura asks walking towards her to touch her hair. “the cameron’s,”  hayden cuts her off before she could answer laura. “ohh you finally going on a date with ra-” y/n quickly covers laura’s mouth. “no what,” she says face flushing red. “what?” hayden says a little angry. “rafe?” he furrows his eyebrows. “you like rafe?” he says walking closer. laura whispers a sorry. 

“i uh, no she was kidding,” y/n laughs nervously. “why are you blushing?” he asks getting even closer. “i’m not its just hot in here,” she looks away from her brother and backs away. “stop hayden,” laura says pushing him away. “there is nothing wrong with a little crush,” she rolls her eyes. “yeah but there is a problem if my best friend is macking on my baby sister,” he says with gritted teeth. “no look, you guys have it all wrong. sarah is throwing a party and i am going for her. plus i dont know what laura is talking about, i dont like rafe,” y/n lies shaking her head. “y/n its okay,” laura smiles. y/n looks away from them and walks towards the door. she couldn’t believe her sister would say that. she told her that in full confidence. she sighs before starting her car. she feels her phone vibrate in between her legs. 

monhoe siblings grp chat 

monroe #2: laura you better be joking, or i’ll kill cameron. 

monroe #1: i was jeez chill out hay. i like to tease y/n bc rafe is cute 

monroe #3: hayden please i’m trying to have a good night. obviously rafe doesn’t like me like that nor do i. she likes to rile you up.

monroe #3: you know its true laur. rafe is his lover

monroe #2: stfu y/n/n. >:(  just have fun and be safe, call if you need a ride

monroe #1: yeah have fun babygirl your graduation is on sunday!

monroe #3: yeah yeah :/

y/n finally pulls up to tannyhill and shakes off the conversation with her older siblings. she was ready to get absolutely wasted. she gets inside to see there were a lot of people. way more than last year. she makes her way to the kitchen to get a drink. she runs into a hard chest and gasps almost falling on her ass. she feels someone grab her arms and pull her up. “woah there monroe dont fall want you on your ass,” she hears rafe’s laugh. she looks up at him and quickly gets out of his grip. “thanks,” she mumbles fixing her dress. “you okay you seem stressed?” he asks with a soft voice looking into her eyes with his deep blue ones. “yeah, yeah i’m fine,” she says dismissive not looking him in the eyes. rafe looks her up and down before nodding and walking away. she watches him walk away. 

she gets a drink and chugs it not caring at all who’s watching. rafe looked deep in her soul. jesus what the fuck. why was he concerned. he has never cared about how she’s been. she’s known him since she was 3 and he was 5 and he has never ever cared. she takes another glass and chugs that as well. “fuck yeah y/n!” macey laughs wrapping her arms around y/n’s waist. “you look so sexy and smell so good,” she giggles nuzzling into y/n’s neck. she was way past gone already. “thank you mace, how many drinks have you had?” y/n laughs taking her best friend into her arms. “too many, kelcey left me for rafe and topper,” she frowns. her and kelce were attached at the hip so y/n assumed macey walked away because she was drunk. “okay well, lets go find him yeah?” 

once they find kelce he thanks y/n and takes macey into his arms. she finally enjoys herself and starts dancing. she dances with sarah and a few of her other friends in he senior class. she has had a lot of drinks and is starting to feel warm and fuzzy inside. she wraps her arms around some guy who was dancing next her and lays her head back in euphoria. she was gonna let go tonight. no more thinking about rafe. he is off to chapel hill once again and she’ll be at duke. 

- 

the next morning y/n wakes up on sarah’s bed next to sarah and some girl named olivia that wants to be sarah’s best friend so bad. y/n moans and rolls off the bed. she fixes her dress and looks at herself in the mirror. “fuck,” she mumbles looking at the giant cut on her top lip. she hissed and the feeling when she touched it. “you look like you fought someone,” she snaps her head to see rafe standing in the door way laughing at her. “honestly, i might have,” she laughs looking at it again. “wonder what the other person looks like?” she jokes grabbing her shoes to leave. “hayden came by and picked up your car so your parents wouldn’t be mad,” he says showing her the text from hayden. “well what the hell how am i supposed to get home,” she groans. “i can take you,” rafe says shrugging. she looks up at him with wide eyes. “no thats not necessary,” she laughs nervously. “no its all good i need to go that way anyways to meet my dad at his office, they decided to come home early this morning to work,” 

y/n nods and follows rafe out of the room. “rafe!” they both turn to see olivia rushing towards them. “can you give me a ride too,” she bats her eyes. y/n rolls her eyes and looks away. “uh, no sorry i dont know where you live,” he says looking at her annoyed. why was he annoyed? i mean it would make things less awkward if she came, right? y/n looks back at olivia and smiles at her apologetically. “oh uh okay,” she says glaring at y/n. “thanks anyways,” y/n frowns and looks down at her feet. 

the car ride wasn’t as bad as y/n anticipated. the low music in the background made things seem so much better. y/n was shaking her leg really hard biting the tip of her finger. she was so fucking nervous. she looks over at him to see him concentrated on the road with one hand on the wheel the other on the gear. she stares at his large ring filled hands. she swallows looking away. it was suddenly getting extremely hot in there. she rubs the top of her thighs and coughs. “so uh, did you enjoy the party?” she asks softly. rafe looks over at her and nods. “yeah i always enjoy the parties i throw,” he says turning down her street. “me too,” she says reaching for all her stuff. “tell hayden i’ll see him later, yeah?” he says parking in front of your house. “yeah, course,” she says stepping out of his pick up. “thanks for the ride,” she says before shutting the door. 

when she steps inside its quiet. almost too quiet. confused she walks deeper into the house starting to hear some voices outside in the back. her eyes widen when she sees her ex davis standing there with his father talking to her mother. she shakes her head quickly and walks quickly away from the back door. “no no no no no no,” she says looking down walking towards the stairs. davis was her first and only boyfriend. he turned out to be the worst human being on the planet. why the hell was he here with her mother. she makes her way up the stairs. she finally reaches her bedroom locking her door. could this day get any worse. 

-

rafe makes his way into his dad’s office. he sees his father talking to a few clients. “oh rafe perfect you’re here,” he sees rose walk towards him with papers. he looks at the stack of papers and she hands them to him. “what are these?” he asks following her down the hallway. “houses that my clients will be interested in,” she says opening the door to her office for him. “also you’re late, what took you so long to get here?” she asks motioning where to set the stack of papers. “had to take one of sarah’s friends home,” she looks at him with a confused look. “why? you never cared about sarah’s friends, let alone doing her a favor by taking her friends home,” he rolls his eyes and sits down. “i felt like being nice,” he shrugs playing the rings on his fingers.

“it was y/n wasn’t it,” rose smirks. rafe looks up with wide eyes. “what? why would you think that?” he asks defensively. “you like her,” she says nonchalantly signing some papers on her desk. “don’t act like i don’t see the way you look at her,” rafe shakes his head in disbelief. rose seemed so confident in her response. rafe didn’t think much about y/n. he didn’t like her. well at least he didn’t think he did that is.
