Violets POV

I opened my eyes to see my arms around Tate and his arms around me. He was warm and comforting.
"Violet! Violet!" I heard my dad calling for me. I jumped out of bed and scampered down the hall.
"Yeah dad?" He had an angry look on his face.
"Where's Tate?" He asked. He knew that Tate slept with me last night.
"Dad calm your nuts. So what Tate and I slept together. It's not like we can even have children. And I'm not twelve anymore. I'm 17 and I'm going to have sleep with guys it a part of life." I chuckled as I went in to hug my dad. He gently pushed back.
"Not with him. Not with the boy who ruined our family." My dad glared at my room.
"Dad! He didn't ruin our family. If anything he brought it closer. I was drifting away from life and he tried to save me. You weren't there to save your own daughter but Tate was! You weren't even there to save your wife, you were gone kill yourself. We tried to save you. Tate actually brought us closer. We're all dead and together again. So yeah. I am in love with Tate and it will remain that way forever. Because I don't want to be stuck lonely and miserable for eternity." I walk away from my dad with tears in my eyes.
He couldn't stop me from loving Tate. No one could.
"Vi- I'm sorry, I shouldn't do this. I'm just scared of loosing you again." He looked t me with a heavy heart.
I swiftly turned to look at him.
"Bullshit."
"What!" He yelled. "I'm trying to apologize vi!"
"Are you kidding me? You don't give two shits about me! You just don't want to loose mom. Because I know as soon as you let me go it's all falling apart. So just stop!" I yelled back at him.
I walked back to my room and slammed the door. I sunk down to the floor and buried my face in my hands. I sobbed.
"Vi, violet what's wrong." I heard Tate's soothing voice.
"Nothing I'm fine." I wiped the tears off my face.
"I heard you yelling vi." He looked at me with sad eyes.
"Then why'd you ask what was wrong?" I giggled.
"Because I want to make sure you're okay." He sunk down to the floor with me and put his muscular arms around me. He cradled me in his arms as I sobbed.
"It will be okay, I'll protect you." He kissed my head.
I felt like I could do anything with Tate. But right now I wanted nothing but to scream go away to my dad. Maybe then I would be one step happier. Tate already makes me the happiest person alive but my dad being gone would make me even happier.
"Hey, I have an idea." I looked up to see Tate smiling.

"This place is beautiful, but how did we even get out of the house." I asked.
Tate had taken me to the beach mountains that was next to a huge lighthouse.
"Damn. You really are getting lost. It's Halloween." He chuckled as he popped open a bottle of wine and took a drink.
"Wow. You even brought wine." I laughed.
"Well you only live once." He laughed as he looked at me. "That's what all the kids are saying these days."
"Unless you're us. Then you live twice." I looked up at the sunset taking a sip of the wine.
"No, we're dead." Tate laughed. "I miss being alive." He looked down at an old picture.
"What's this?" I grabbed the picture.
It was Tate. He was wearing a Varsity jacket. "Were you on a team?"
"Yeah, I was on the football team." He crumpled the picture and threw it into the ocean.
"I miss being able to feel. I miss being able to grow up. I would have children right now and a wife. Not a rape baby and a dead girlfriend." He looked at me. "The dead girlfriend things is nothing I would change. Except the fact that you should be alive right now. Violet I can't tell you how sorry I was when I couldn't save you."
I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I knew that missing life was the hardest thing. I do miss being alive. Tate was right. He should be married and have children. Not with me. We can't even have children.
"Tate, I'm sorry. I love you though. And I mean, we can try to have kids and we can get married. Even if we can't have kids I'm sure my mom would let us take care of john." I jumped up. I knew I was getting ahead of myself.
"Violet." He stood up with tears streaming down his face. "I love you and I would want nothing more than to spend all of my afterlife with you." He leaned forward and kissed me with his hands on my hips and I put my hands on his shoulders.
I pushed away and ran down the hill we were on.
"You gotta catch me!" I laughed as I was taken down my Tate's muscular body crashing over mine.
"I caught you." He said as he kissed my nose and started to take off his shirt.
He has really toned skin for being dead. I took of my leggings and t-shirt and ran into the water. I saw Tate running towards the water in nothing but his shorts.
I kissed his face and her swung me over his shoulder and ran through the water.
It was late. The Stars shined so bright.
"Hey, it's going to be morning soon. Should we go?" He asked me.
"Just a little longer." I answered as we remained snuggled underneath the over sized towel.
"Are you okay?" He asked me.
"I couldn't be better." I answered him. "The stars make me feel like I'm still alive, and it's like I'm living right here, right now."
"Let's go it's morning is in two hours." He said as he helped me up.
"Thanks Tate. I love you." I said as I hopped up onto his back as he gave me a piggy back ride.
"I love you too." He said with a smile.
