RAFE RIDING his bike straight to Barry’s house after he had an argument with his father about the back up generator that Ward trusted him to buy it but he ended up using the money to buy himself a bike.

The man still didn’t know about it, but that just a matter of the times before he will. Nothing ever happened around Ward that he doesn’t know, he’s the man of the house after all

After the back and forth of quarrels between him and Ward, following by couple of insults that the man always gives to him and threat that he can lives at the Cut if he keeps being irresponsible with himself, he found his way to the old wrecked trailer in order to calm himself down and shutting down his thought

Rafe parked his bike at the yard, pulling out his helmet before he made his way into the trailer to find Barry. He even stumbles into the old Luke Maybank looking high and drunk as always, telling Rafe to pop his collar and some shit. He mostly ignores the man and continues his walks

“Hey, Barry” Rafe greets the man as soon as he spots the long-haired man sitting on his porch with couple of men

“Hey, country club!” Barry getting up from his chair and walks towards him to greet him back

“What’s up, bro?” Rafe asked

“What’s good with you, man?”

“Not much, man” Rafe answered and they did their handshake, this totally isn’t their first time meeting each other

“Should’ve worn a wife beater” Rafe continues, referring to the choice of clothes Barry chose

The man chuckles “You couldn’t beat nobody, Rafe. Come on” Barry states and then he parted away from him, getting into his trailer. That actually leaving Rafe to stun a little, thinking about the words. But then, he brushed it away and trailing right behind Barry knowing he has his shit

There are more people scatters inside the trailer, Rafe just casually greets them couldn’t care less about what they were doing. He just wants something for himself, then he’s gonna bolt from here

“Aight, aight, aight. Let’s see what we got here” Barry said before he makes a turn into his room, Rafe still following him like a little lost puppy without saying anything. Barry went into his closet and brings out a duffel bag that contains something that Rafe wanted

“And voila. This what we’re looking for?” When Barry finally found it, he holds up a plastic that contain with a white powder, knowing it exactly what Rafe been looking and wants.

“Yeah, yeah” Rafe nods, his face brightened a little at the sight of the drug in front of him

“Just, um---” he trails, got a little problems with his financial

“You got that cabbage?” Barry asked for the payment

“So, I was hoping for a little credit” Rafe finally spits it out and Barry starts to sigh and cussing, throwing the drug back into the bag totally not going to tolerate with the boy. He has enough with people owed him, he’s not gonna put another to the list

“Listen, man—”

“You’re hoping in the wrong place” Barry cuts him off, zipping the bag and puts it into the closet back “You do know how fast I’ll that, right?” Rafe reminds him, trying to get his sympathy

“Who has my access? Bro, I’ll be back here in....” he wanders a little, thinking of the possible times so he can pay the man back “shoot. Two days, tops” he assured, giving Barry a look of confirmation

“Mm—hm” Barry hummed, not really believing the boy. This isn’t the first time he heard the sweet lies like this

“You want my bike as collateral?” Rafe asked, jutted up his shoulder a little “I’ll give you the bike as collateral” Rafe confirmed it, pawning his bike that he just bought. Not thinking about the consequences waiting for him

Barry lets out a small laugh, shaking his head “You’re stupid” he said, grabbing the bag again from the closet. Deciding to give Rafe a chance, having his bike as a collateral actually intrigue enough for Barry. That can be a useful for another event if Rafe broke his own words and fails to pay the payment

“Let me tell you something, man. You screw me, it’s not just me that you’re screwing” Barry gives him a warn

“Heard, man. Loud and clear” Rafe holds up his hands, showing that he’s acknowledge the statements from him

“You got balls, kid. I’ll give you that. Two days” Barry states again, pulling out the drug back from the bag and hands it to Rafe.

But when Rafe is about to take the bag from him, he notices something lingering around his wrist. A hair tie, it looks familiar to him

It’s not like he cares if Barry has a hair tie or something, because he has a long hair. But that really caught his attention because he swears he saw it somewhere

“Where did you get that?” Rafe suddenly asked, pointing at the hair tie. It got a little ribbon with a navy blue colour, that’s so feminine for Barry to have it.

Though it could be his girlfriend or even anyone, but Rafe mind still trying to work its gear to remember where he saw it before

“What? This?” Barry hold up his hand, showing the hair tie to Rafe and the boy nods “Why? You want to buy one like this?” Barry jokingly asked, raising his brows

“No, no. I’m serious, where did you get that?” Rafe drops his hand to his side once he takes the drug from Barry, his eyes never left his wrist.

That causing Barry to furrow his brows, he starts to get a little suspicious. He knows the hair tie is Hope’s, she left it yesterday and forgot to take it home. He thinks it would be a little cute accessories for him to put up

Rafe can’t possibly know Hope, right? Though they both come from the same side of the island, but Hope never once mentioned about the boy

“This is my girl’s. What are you up, country club? You know someone who has the same shit like this?” Barry peered, he also as curious as Rafe now.

Rafe swallows his saliva at the confession. His girl, that’s means his girlfriend, right? He can’t possibly know anyone that Barry’s know, can he? He doesn’t associate with Pogues

But that very person can be a Kook like him. Maybe one of his one night stands? But Rafe pretty sure it belongs to someone that close to him, he knows her but he can’t remember who

“That looks familiar” Rafe awkwardly said, faking his chuckle “Am I possibly knows your girl, bro? You know, just to make sure” he continues, trying to dig something

But Barry isn’t stupid, he knows that Rafe up to something. But he’s not going to blow Hope off, he knows she doesn’t want anyone knows that they’re knew each other and Barry respect that

“I don’t think so, boy. My girl is a sweetheart, she doesn’t go with a douche like you” Barry said, still with a teasing tone but Rafe doesn’t find it funny at all.

But he’s still keep his face as friendly as he can, not wanting to cause anything here especially when this is the only place he can get his shit

“A sweetheart, huh?” Rafe questioned “But she’s still hangs with you?”

“What you can say, I have charms” Barry winks, licking his lower lip. He also can’t believe that Hope actually willing to hang with him though at first he thought maybe she did it because she owed him something. But then, Hope is just generally kind and an actual sweetheart

“I can see that” Rafe lets out a small chuckle, though he’s still curious and still got no answer about the mysterious person that Barry keep talking. Rafe knows he knows the person, but he’s still can’t get his mind to capture it

“Thank you, Barry. You can count on me, bro. I’ll see you in 2 days” Rafe said, excusing himself though he’s still eager to know more until he’s got the answer.

He can ask Barry later, maybe he can finally remember somewhere about it. Or maybe he’s just being paranoid because of the lack of the drug in his system

“Yeah, sure, buddy” Barry said and Rafe walks out from the room with the same thought lingering on his mind
