Toeing the Line

I make my way to the dock and I see dad pacing back in forth by the yacht. "Yo" I shout. He glares at me and I swear I feel it burn my skin.

"There you are, what have you been doing?" He stares me down in disgust as I approach and come to a stop a few steps away.

"Sleeping." 

He scoffs. His eyes tell me all I need to know. I'm in trouble for something. I just don't know what it is, though I am sure that I will find out soon. "I saw her leave this morning, what are you doing with her?"

"She is my friend dad, she got drunk last night and stayed over, but I didn't do anything with her I swear." Clearly this was not enough to make him believe me because he slowly steps toward me. I don't back up, so now he is in my face.

"You know son, You are approaching that line that I told you not to cross. I let you have this party for her, I let you take her and our friends in the boat, If I catch you being more than friends with that girl, you can kiss that allowance of yours goodbye." His face inches closer to mine so I wench and shut my eyes. "You better tread lightly boy."

"Hey dad can I get the keys to the Jeep so that we can drive down to the beach?" Its Sarah. As she gets closer dad steps back and I adjust my shirt and wipe my face. She skips down the dock followed by Wheezy, Kiara, and Y/N. Y/N is carrying a bag and a book which I know she won't read, but she says its for 'the aesthetic'.

"Yes honey of course you can." He hands her the keys. His voice is so much different than when he talks to me. I can tell who is the favorite for sure. I look over at Y/N and she shoots a quick smile my way, but something is off. I don't have the capacity to deal with that so I just smile back. The girls begin to walk away but she doesn't move. Her lingering stare tells me that she knows I'm not okay either. I can almost see the calculation on her face as she pieces together the situation. She makes a motion to say something but before she can-

"You coming?" Wheezy asks from down the dock. She gives a slow nod and takes a couple steps backward before turning around to walk away.

"Yes of course" she says as she begins jogging down the dock to catch up with them. They exchange a laugh and Kiara says something inaudible. Turning back, Y/N shares one last glance at me and leaves.

The girls seemed to diffuse the situation and to my surprise, Dad dismisses me. As I walk back to the house, Y/n shoots me a text.

Hey Rafe, wanna hit the beach with us?

I'll catch up with you later, I promised Topper, we could golf at 2pm.

Something was off with Y/N and I am not sure what, but I refrain from saying anything else and get ready to meet Topper at the course.

...

When I pull up to the club, I notice that there is a huge crowd. I guess everyone has a tee time before Midsummers. I walk towards the bar and see Topper standing there with Kelsie. I sigh and approach them. I know I am going to hear something about the fight I got into last night, so I brace myself. To my surprise they don't say anything, instead they smile and continue their conversation. 

"No way you actually got with her Top." Kelsie says in disbelief.

"Got with who?" I ask, curious of his answer. 

"Yo-" Topper cuts Kelsie off before her can finish the statement.

"Just some random girl from the party." Topper replies. Kelsie shoots him a glance and takes a sip of his drink. Topper is clearly hiding something, but I don't even care to be honest. I couldn't care less who he spends his drunken evenings with.
