chapter eight

                                    

                                          
as I made my way through the front door, I was welcomed by the cameron's.
                          
my eyes scanned for rafe but I couldn't seem to find him, maybe he wasn't coming until later. rose walked me into the main room, as I sat down she passed me a drink from the table.
                          
rose and I sat talking about how summer was going and if I decided on a college yet, I had always wanted to move to charleston and study there but my parents wanted me to stay here and look after the house.
                          
after a little bit of laughing and discussing colleges it was time for dinner. "I'll be there in a second I'm just grabbing a drink" I yelled as I walked into the kitchen.
                          
when I began walking out of the kitchen I felt a hand grab me by the wrist, they pulled me into the hallway. "bailey" rafe said as looking down to me in despair, "oh rafe I need to talk to you about something" I exclaimed.
                          
"yeah me too bails"
                          
"can I go first, its really important and i dont know what to say or how to sa-" 
                          
"bailey this is my girlfriend becca"
                          
rafe pulled this beautiful brunette around from the corner, she resembled me a little bit. brunette, green eyes, slim body, tattoos and the perfect smile.
                          
"oh, I'm bailey nice to meet you becca" I put out my hand waiting for to shake it, but she just stared at it and walked into the kitchen.
                          
I scoffed and walked into the dining room joining the rest of the family, as I sat down I wiped my eye free of tears. 
                          
"what's wrong?" sarah asked as she placed her hand on my shoulder, I darted my eyes towards rafe in the kitchen and pointed towards the empty seats in front of us "just wait" I said picking up my wine glass.
                          
rafe and becca soon joined us in the dining room, I shoved sarah with my elbow slightly to get her attention to the dirty blonde.
                          
"hey guys there is someone I want you to meet" rafe said gathering everyones attention, everyone looked over to rafe and the brunette. "this is becca, my girlfriend" he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him.
                          
everyone grew quiet until ward and rose stood up and greeted the girl, she was far more pleasant with them then me. 
                          
the whole dinner I was silent, not speaking a word to a soul apart from sarah.
                          
as I was eating my food I felt a foot kick me in the shin, I looked up to rafe and rolled my eyes. 
                          
he did it again trying to get my attention, I slammed my fork and knife on the table, everyones eyes went to me almost immediately.
                          
'sorry' I mouthed to the table before I looked back to rafe who was looking at me with a sad look on his face.
                          
'what's wrong?'  he mouthed
                          
I raised my eyebrows 'nothing' I mouthed back, getting back to eating my food.
                          
I avoided making eye contact with him all night, I could feel him looking over to me every and then but I ignored him. I couldn't face him right now, my heart just broke into a million piece again.
                          
becca was acting like a bitch the whole dinner, everyone time someone spoke she rolled her eyes. how could she be so rude? especially to her boyfriends family.
                          
once it was time for me to leave, I said my goodbyes and made my way to my car. I pressed unlock on my keys and started to open the door before I felt a hand on my wrist.
                          
I turned around to see rafe looking down to me concerned. 
                          
"what do you want" I asked avoiding eye contact still, he towered over me and pinned me against my car. 
                          
"tell me what is wrong?" he asked me, I looked up as a tear fell from my cheek.
                          
"go back to your girlfriend rafe" I yelled in his face.
                          
he looked down to me surprised "this is because of becca? you don't like her?".
                          
I grew silent and looked back down to the floor.
                          
he scoffed and took a step back rubbing his hands through his hands. 
                          
"of of course" he stuttered.
                          
"why is it because she's pretty, is it because my family might like her more then you or is just because she's dating me" he screamed.
                          
"I-i-i" I stutered, I couldn't seem to get the words out of my mouth.
                          
he took a step closer to me again "of course, your jealous. YOU DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT SOMEONE LOVES ME, JUST REMEMBER BAILEY YOU LEFT ME OKAY. YOU LEFT ME FOR TWO MONTHS AND DIDN'T BOTHER TO TELL ME" 
                          
"RAFE YOU HURT ME, YOUR THE ONE WHO PLACED A BET ON FALLING IN LOVE WITH ME" I screamed back at him.
                          
"PFFT YOU KNOW WHAT BAILEY, YOUR SELFISH, YOUR SO SELF ABSORBED THAT IT HURTS YOU TO SEE SOMEONE HAPPIER THEN YOU. YOU HAVE NO ONE, NOT ME, NOT MY FAMILY I MEAN HELL MY FAMILY ONLY TOOK YOU IN BECAUSE THEY FELT PITY FOR YOU. EVEN YOUR PARENTS HATE YOU BAILEY, NEWS FLASH EVERYONE HATES YOU"
                          
I looked down trying to hide my tears from falling down my face, but failed.
                          
I looked back up him and turned around to opened my car door. 
                          
before I jumped in I looked back to him as the tears fell from my face.
                          
"and to think I was going to tell you I still loved you but now I think just feel sorry for you" I mumbled as I walked into my car and sped out of their driveway.
