CHARM : sometimes I wonder if you were the one

OUTER BANKS / rafe cameron ( maepops, december '24 )

LILITH TANAKA, exiled kook princess, and OBX's favourite girl, doubted she would ever find herself back in Kildare. After her parents had shipped her off at thirteen she thought she would never see the light of day again.

     Was being caught doing drugs a reasonable excuse to send one's daughter off to boarding school? Lilith thought not, everyone in OBX had smoked a joint at least twice, how come she was the one to be punished? How her mother had found out was what bothered her the most.

     So when she returned almost six years later, it was evident she wasn't going to live with her so-called parents, whether it was on the cut or far from South Carolina. But she had least expected for a friend to let her bunk with him, for however long she needed.

     Lilith hid everything. From her candy stash under her floorboards to her every emotion, nothing was quite what it seemed with Lilith Tanaka and everyone knew. So did Rafe Cameron.

     Rafe Cameron could be described in three words; psychopathic drug addict. Lilith colour elaborate, and call him the world's most horrific curse words. Because every negative aspect of her life was all his fault. Everything.

     The life of freedom she could have had if he had never offered her the joint, and told her that she was a pussy if she didn't. Lilith might have been a happy child, without a great fear of her mother. She could have been living at home not hiding at her best friend's house, afraid someone would one day take her back.

     She doubted her brief history with Rafe would change. She would hate him with every bone in her body. And he would think of her as another girl he slept with when he was drunk and doped up.

Sadly that's only Lilith's side of the story . . .

LILITH : could you ruin my life any more, Cameron?

RAFE : I would steal the fucking moon for you.

AUTHOR'S NOTE / mae's thoughts !

CHARM ! named after the clario album, jesus I've been thinking about this fic for a while, but I never actually did anything with it because I'm very insecure about my writing, since I couldn't speak english properly till I was seven lol, so don't mind the shitting writing and that synopsis.

If you know anything about me I have an unhealthy obsession with seth cohen/adam brody so in every universe there will be a seth cohen variant, and in this universe it's charlie, so I will attempt to portray him in the most coheny ( as summer would say ) possible !!

I kinda wanted to do a JJ fic, but then there's something in me that can't just cut out canon ships especially Jiara ( what was that season four ending... ) so erm psycho rafe fic ???

dedications, first to the ttpd gc, crimsonharts roseyrots & lyra who isn't on wp anymore :( thanks for attempting to understand my crap writing, especially to suki, who literally translated the synopsis and proof read it love you best sister award goes to you <3
