the rafe codedness of drew in the relationships music video but specifically the club scene.

…         chest  rises  and  falls  with  sharp ,   uneven  breaths  as  he  listens  to  her.  does  not  cut  her  off ,   doesn't even  say  a  word ,   though  every  syllable  that  falls  from  her  lips  feels  like  a  knife  twisting  in  his  gut.  mention  of  hollis ,   and  going  back  on  her  word ,   only  stoking  the  fire  that’s  already  consuming  him.  he  doesn’t  know  what  hurts  more   ⸻   her  admitting  she  betrayed  him  or  the  reason  why  she  did  so.   ‘  you  were  upset  ?  ’  voice  is  sharp ,   laced  with  disbelief  and  dripping  with  anger.  has  to  take  a  step  back ,  hand  running  over  his  face  as  bitter  laughter  escapes  him.  ‘  that’s  it ?   i  say  one  thing  —   one  fuckin' stupid  thing  to  shut  those  two  up ,   and  you  decide  to  throw  whatever  we  have  away  …  over  that  ?  ’   gestures  vaguely  with  his  arms ,   frustration  spilling  over  in  to  his  movements.   ‘  you  could  have  come  to  me ,  asked about it ,   yelled at me ,   hit  me for  all  i  care   …   'cause  even  that  would  have  hurt  less  than  findin'  out  what  you  did.  ’ voice  threatens  to  crack  at  the  end ,   jaw  ticking  with  how  hard  he's  clenching  his  teeth  to  compose  himself.  million  thoughts  charging  through  his  brain  and  he  wants  to  throw  them  all  at  her ,   let  her  know  exactly  what  he's  thinking.  instead ,   he  shakes  his  head ,   looking  away  for  a  moment ,   an  attempt  at  trying  to  gather  himself , because as much as she might have hurt him , he doesn't want to hurt her. ‘  you  think  that  makes  it  better  ?     that  you  meant  to  say  no  before  you  didn’t  ?   because  it  doesn’t.  all  it  does  is  make  me  wonder  how  much  i  actually  meant  to  you  if  i  wasn’t  worth  more  than  one  shitty  ass  moment.  and  for  what  …  so you could  hurt  me  back  ?  ’  smile  that  accompanies  the  question  is  ice  cold.  ‘   congrats , baby …   you  did a really good job.  ’  ocean  hues  lock  onto  hers  once  more ,   anger  still  there ,   ever  present     ⸻    but  underneath  it ,   there’s  pain ,   raw  and  unguarded.  ‘  you  were  supposed  to  be  different.   we  were  supposed  to  be  different  …   but  i  guess  you  proved  me  wrong.  ’

[tintedrage]

…         exhales  sharply  through  his  nose  ,  dry  laugh  barely  escaping  his  lips.  ‘  she's  not  some  little  pogue  girl.  ’  casual  bite  in  his  voice  masks  something  deeper  –   something  he’s  not  willing  to  dissect  right  now.  shifting  uncomfortably ,   jaw  tightens  for  the  briefest  moment  before  he  shakes  his  head,  feigning  disinterest.  ‘  and  she  wouldn’t  care ,   not  about  some  washed - up  high  school  loser drama.  she’s  not  like  that.  ’   raising  his  glass  with  measured  ease ,   taking  a  slow  sip  before  continuing,  tone  lazy  but  words  ever  so  deliberate.  ‘  besides ,   you  think  i’m  losing  sleep  over  what  she’d  be  happy  with?  ’  smirk  returns ,   sharp  and  self - assured ,   though  it  doesn’t  quite  reach  his  eyes.  ‘  thanks  for  the  advice  anyway,  buddy.  ’  the  sarcasm  dripping  off  the  last  word ,   light  but  unmistakable.  josh  had  struck  a  nerve ,   one  he  isn't  too  keen  on  having  exploited …  so  conceal ,   conceal ,   conceal ,   it  is !

they rarely had much in common . josh was initially , rafe friend by proxy of having a equally wealthy parent and no desire to play golden boy but despite the forced association it worked out fine . though , he had little interest to continue on with some half - assed beef with some other coked up shit head that rafe so happened to be on the wrong side of . " feel like that little pogue girl you keep runnin' around with wouldn't be too happy if you fucked that guy's girlfriend . " and really , he'd be surprised . he knew so little about the raven haired girl rafe had begun to drag in toe but it seemed , like things often did with the elder cameron sibling , far more serious than led on to be . " but i'm not telling you what to do . "

i sit down to write and suddenly i am the most distracted human alive. the chair is uncomfortable. my coffee is too hot. my playlist isn't quite the vibe. i need to research what victorian houses smelled like in 1872 for exactly 45 minutes even though my story takes place in space. and yet the moment i'm trying to fall asleep? every single sentence i've ever needed just lines up perfectly in my brain like some kind of creative parade i'll never get back.

…   fists  tighten  at  his  sides   as  blue  eyes  narrow  at  his  ex  -  fiancé's  words.  the  anger  he  feels  burning  through  him,  mixing  with  the  ache  he's  been  carrying  in  his  chest.   ‘  you  never  meant  to  hurt  me ??  ’  scoffs  comes  with  the  shake  of  his  head,  voice  thick  with  disbelief.  he  steps  closer,  each  word  coming  out  sharper,  more  edged  with  hurt.    ‘  i  let  you  in ,  trusted  you more  than  anyone ,  and  you  ...  you  betrayed  me.  what  is  there  to  explain ??  ’    his  big  mouth  is  doing  the  talking  but  his  heart  wants  her  to  spill  the  truth,  explain  why  she  would  do  something  like  that.  he  wants  it  to  be  right,  wants  her  back.  but  his  inability  to  trust  has  taken  over  his  body,  his  brain.  humorless  laughs  flows  bitterly  from  his  lips,  chest  tightening  with  frustration  before  he  speaks  up  again.    ‘  i  don’t  even  know  who  you  are.  ’

“    ⸻    i    never    meant    to    hurt    you,    rafe.    ”    words    don’t    sound    the    same    as    rehearsed    prior,    her    demeanour    falling    the    moment    she    finds    the    courage    to    speak.    “    it    wasn’t    my    intention,    at    all,    i    just    …    can    you    at    least    let    me    explain?    ”            @tintedrage.

my favorite trope is when someone believes they’re hard to love and someone who loves them like it’s breathing.

[tintedrage]

…      ‘  shit ,   that  took  you  long  enough.  ’   answer  comes  as  soon  as  she  asks  wether  or  not  he's  coming ,  having  spent  the  better  half  of  the  party  trying  to  find  a  way  to  get  the  hell  out  of  there.  gets up , swiftly  downing  his  drink  the  moment  she  informs  him  of  her  plans.  ‘  i'll  meet  you  out  there ⸻ and don't bring any of the cheap stuff.  ’  rafe warns playfully , grin spreading on his lips as he heads out towards the back of the house. / @8ballgirl

" i'm stealing a bottle of tequila and heading out back . you coming or what ? "

[tintedrage]

…      ‘  yeah , i'm sure you think that .  ’   eyes  nearly  roll  into  the  back  of  his  head  at  the  stupidity  coming  out  of  the  other's  mouth.  ‘  who  the  fuck  are  you  ??  ’   look  of  incredulity  taking  over  his  face  as  brows  knit  together. personally ? he doesn't see the resemblance at all .

@tintedrage because it has to be a thing

❛ i'm kind of lost. ❜

❛ i guess i don't really care if it's dangerous or not. i'm going either way. ❜

❛ what happened to this town? ❜

❛ whatever it is, it's not human. ❜

❛ i didn't do anything! he was like that when i got here. ❜

❛ you wanna come with? maybe together we can find a way out of this town. ❜

❛ sorry, but i can't leave. not yet. ❜

❛ are you afraid? ❜

❛ did you find the person that you were looking for? ❜

❛ don't worry, i'm not crazy. least, i don't think so. ❜

❛ should i go with you? this town really is dangerous. ❜

❛ what's a big dumb-dumb like you doing here anyway? ❜

❛ hey, that's not very nice. didn't your parents teach you any manners? ❜

❛ do i look like your girlfriend? ❜

❛ i can't believe it. your face, your voice... you could be— ❜

❛ i don't look like a ghost, do i? see? warm. ❜

❛ i can show you if you want. unless you have somewhere else to be? something else to do? ❜

❛ hey, easy there. i'm just messing with you. ❜

❛ you're coming with me? can't you just tell me where it is? ❜

❛ what, you were just gonna leave me here? alone? with all these monsters around? ❜

❛ is it because i remind you of... her? ❜

❛ this place we're going to, what is it, exactly? ❜

❛ you ever stay in a place like this? the walls are so thin you can hear everything. love, hate, jealousy... ❜

❛ i think you just saved my life back there. ❜

❛ hey. you think i'd look good in this one? ❜

❛ this room... there's something wrong with it. i think we should leave. ❜

❛ oh, loosen up. it sure beats running around with those monsters out there. ❜

❛ what will you tell her if... when you find her? ❜

❛ oh, c'mon. don't give me that look. i was just kidding. ❜

❛ can we stay? just for a little while? ❜

❛ this place, this whole thing, it's like a nightmare. i just wanted to get away from it, even for a second. ❜

❛ here. something to take the edge off. ❜

❛ we should probably get going. ❜

❛ we could come back later, if you want. you know, in case we need a break. ❜

❛ i wanted to ask you... what if you can't find [ name ]? what will you do? ❜

❛ thanks for checking up on me. it's very sweet of you. ❜

❛ how do you know my name? ❜

❛ i'm sorry, but i can't let you just run around this place. you might get hurt. ❜

❛ please open the door. there's something in here. ❜

❛ i was almost killed back there! i've never been so scared in my whole life! ❜

❛ all you care about is that dead wife of yours. ❜

❛ you couldn't care less about me, could you? ❜

❛ stay with me. don't leave me alone again. you're supposed to take care of me. ❜

❛ i don't know, for some reason i feel like it's up to me to protect her. ❜

❛ well, whaddaya know... a stroll in the rain. how romantic. ❜

❛ i'm trying to keep things light. just humor me, okay? ❜

❛ you think you could give me a hand? ❜

❛ you're supposed to be the big man around here. how's a little girl like me supposed to help? ❜

❛ what's wrong? i thought you wanted to get out of here. ❜

❛ this place is different from what i remember. i guess... things never really stay the same, do they? ❜

❛ you... still don't want me to go with you? if we stick together, we just might make it out of here. ❜

❛ ain't no big deal. just put the gun to their head and... pow! ❜

❛ you can't just kill someone 'cause of the way they looked at you. ❜

❛ please. i'll be good. i promise. ❜

❛ it's always the same with you. you're only after one thing. ❜

❛ i don't know who you think i am, but i don't want to hurt you. ❜

❛ i thought that thing killed you...! are you hurt? ❜

❛ but that thing... it stabbed you. there was blood everywhere. ❜

❛ stabbed me? what do you mean? ❜

❛ honey... did something happen to you? ❜

❛ are you confusing me with someone else? ❜

❛ you said you took everything. but you forgot the videotape we made. ❜

❛ it doesn't matter who i am. i'm here for you. ❜

❛ see? i'm real. ❜

❛ don't you want to touch me? ❜

❛ i'll come back, i promise. ❜

❛ how many times do i have to kill you? ❜

❛ it doesn't matter if you're smart, dumb, ugly, pretty... it's all the same once you're dead! ❜

❛ you wanna talk down to me some more? tell me to relax? ❜

❛ you know i'll find you! ❜

❛ guess i deserved it, huh? the fartface that i am. ❜

❛ you got any other things planned? i think i saw a dark room back there you could lock me up in. ❜

❛ where are you? i'm waiting for you. please, come to me. ❜

❛ i think you were right. what we're looking for... it's not here. ❜

❛ thank you for helping me earlier... but i wish you hadn't. ❜

❛ i know what you are. i know why i needed you. but it's all over now. i don't need you anymore. ❜

❛ it'd be easier if they just killed me. ❜

❛ why are you still here? i told you to go. ❜

❛ wait! please don't go. don't leave me alone. i didn't mean what i said. ❜

❛ please... tell me i'll be okay. ❜

❛ i'm here for you. so what if i'm not her? ❜

❛ i can give you what she never could. i can be better than her. ❜

❛ what else do you want me to be? ❜

❛ i won't let you do this to me. i won't let you go. ❜

❛ the truth is, i hated you. ❜

❛ i wanted my life back. ❜

❛ i tried. i really did. but... i just... can't go on without you. ❜

❛ i can't forgive myself for what i've done. ❜

❛ i want you to go on. i want you to live. for yourself and for others. ❜

❛ you made me happy. ❜

Y’all. I need an ‘I’ve got no where to live, so I went to a fancy hotel pretending I’m rich & fancy AF, and pretended to be your girlfriend in order to get the key to your room. But please don’t yell and kick me out when you see me laying in your bed with your robe on while watching pay per view on the TV and eating the mini bar snacks. But wait, this works out in your favor? Now I have to actually pretend to be your girlfriend so your crazy mother will get off your back about relationships? As long as I get to keep all the clothes you buy me’ plot.

…               telltale  resolve  crumbles  as  charlotte  stands  frozen  before  him ,  hands  trembling  just  enough  for  him  to  notice.  blood  marring  gentle  hands  a  testament  to  everything  wrong  about  tonight ,   staining  not  just  the  floor  but  the  fragile  sense  of  control  he  knows  she's  pretending  to  cling  to.  there’s  something  in  her  eyes  that  wrecks  him   —   quiet  mix  of  defiance  &   despair ,   like  she’s  holding  herself  together  with  sheer  force  of  will.  it  shouldn’t  be  like  this.  not  for  her  …   not  because  of  him.  when  ocean  hues  meet  hers ,   glossy  and  rimmed  with  unshed  tears ,  something  twists  deep  in his chest ,  guilt  flooding  his  veins.  she  looks  so  small  like  this ,  raw  and  exposed  in  a  way  he  rarely  gets  to  see  her.  nand  for  all  his  anger ,   all  the  fire  burning  in  him  over  what’s  just  happened ,  he  feels  it  ebbing ,   shrinking  away  into  nothingness  in  the  face  of  her.   leans  in  just  slightly ,   forehead  brushing  hers ,   voice  dropping  low  as  he  speaks  his  mind.    ‘  you  don't  have  to  do  anythin'  you  don't  want  to    –    i'm  not  going  to  force  you.  we  can  …  i  can  find  someone  else  to  take  care  of  it.   but  if  this  was  him ,   char  …   ’  sigh  slips  past  his  lips ,   eye  closing  as  he  thinks  of  what  could  have  happened  if  she  hadn't  been  with  him  tonight. other  hand  moves  to  her  waist ,   gently  drawing  her  closer ,   as  if  proximity  itself  might  offer  some  kind  of  protection  from  the  weight  of  the  night.   it’s  in  that  delicate  surrender ,   the  softness  of  her  trust  and  her  words ,   that  he  finds  himself  undone.  before  his  mind  can  catch  up  with  his  actions ,   lips  are  on  hers ,   not  with  the  usual  rush ,   but  with  a  tenderness  that  feels  foreign  and  necessary  all  at  once.  filled  with  something  beyond  the  usual  passion ,   an  unspoken  promise  of  safety ,   quiet  declaration  that  no  matter  what ,   he  won’t  let  her  face  this  alone.   ‘  i  can't  let  him  hurt  you , red.   ’

"  you  know  what  i  mean.  "  any  carefully  constructed  comebacks  are  withheld,  mind  too  preoccupied  on  the  issue  at  hand.  isn't  like  rafe.  he  can  handle  the  stress,  the  chaos  of  it  all.  charlotte  only  ever  wanted  to  be  the  mysterious  district  attorney's  daughter  with  a  lot  to  hide.  it  was  never  supposed  to  become  dangerous.  deadly.  "  it's  not  you,  not  barry.  "  the  alternative  isn't  easy  to  come  to  terms  with.  projects  this  cold  exterior,  stoic  and  uninterested  and  self  -  invested.  always  thought  that  there  was  the  smallest  of  cracks  there,  only  accessible  to  her  family  and  those  she  genuinely  cares  for.  had  she  made  a  mistake  by  letting  her  brother  come  too  close  ? feels  blood  rushing  up  the  back  of  her  neck,  ears,  before  settling  on  her  cheeks.  wants  to  match  rafe's  tenacity  for  violence,  but  she's  stricken  with  this  sense  of  melancholy  instead.  feels  a  pit  in  her  chest,  tight  and  rigid  and  capable  of  bursting  through  her  bones  and  right  out  past  her  skin.  barely  has  the  bandwidth  to  make  out  his  next  words.  the  weight  of  them,  the  sheer  determination  laced  with  every  syllable.  "  you  gonna  kill  him  too  ?  "  would  he  have  her  do  it  instead  ?  arm  her  with  a  gun  and  end  her  brother's  life.  with  it,  she'd  be  killing  away  whatever  humanity  still  remains  within  her.  "  no.  "  shakes  her  head  dismissively,  even  managing  a  bitter  chuckle.  "  i'm  not  gonna  let  you  do  that.  and  it's  not  because  i  care  about  him.  "  says  all  she  needs  to  with  those  words.  charlotte  cares  about  rafe. look  at  me.  she  does,  eyes  blinking  up  in  his  direction.  doesn't  realize  that  they've  glistened  over  with  tears  until  she  tries  to  make  note  of  his  features.  blurred,  like  a  hand  swiped  over  the  beauty  of  an  oil  painting.  holds  his  hands,  wordlessly  following  his  lead  and  rising  to  her  feet.  "  yeah,  "  sniffles,  turning  her  head  the  moment  a  single  tear  spills  over  onto  her  cheek.  "  you're  right.  it's  .  .  .  it's  us.  "  brows  furrow  at  that  notion,  not  unable  to  ignore  how  strange  those  words  feel  on  her  tongue.  "  you  and  me.  we're  gonna  figure  this  shit  out,  right  ?  and  .  .  .  and  we're  gonna  get  rid  of  this  asshole  and  anyone  who  comes  after  him.  "  and  they're  going  to  kill  her  brother.
