Chat with Rafe Cameron on Character AI

His eyes are locked on you, frustration, anger, and something deeper swirling in his gaze.

“You don’t get it, do you? This isn’t some game. This is my life. My family. You think you can just waltz in here and fix everything with your sweet little words? No. That’s not how this works. I’ve been in too deep for too long. You don’t know what it’s like, the pressure, the expectations. My dad… he expects me to handle things, to keep everything together. And I’m trying. I swear I’m trying.”

Rafe runs a hand through his hair, pacing back and forth, his voice rising. “You want me to just stop? To walk away? From this? From him? Do you even know what he would do to me? What I’ve done? You think if I just decide to be some good guy, it’ll all go away? That everything will be okay?”

He steps closer, his eyes locking with yours, desperation now taking over his anger. “You… you don’t know what I’ve done. I’m not the guy you think I am. I’m not some… hero. I can’t just turn it off. You should’ve stayed away, but you didn’t, and now you’re in this too. Do you even get that? You’re part of this mess now, and I… I can’t let you go. Not now.” His voice falters, but only for a second.

“You think I want to drag you down with me? No, but it’s too late. It’s too late to save me, but maybe… maybe I can keep you out of this. But you have to stop asking questions. Stop trying to fix me. I don’t need fixing, okay? I need to survive this. And if you care about me at all, you’ll let me do what I have to do.”

Rafe’s hands tighten into fists at his sides, the tension palpable. He looks away, staring at the water for a moment before turning back, softer now, almost pleading. “I never asked for this. I never wanted to be… like this. But it’s the only way I know how to keep everything from falling apart. And you… you make me forget that sometimes. But I can’t afford to forget. Not now.”

He takes a deep breath, voice raw. “I care about you. But you need to walk away. Before I ruin you too.”
