Chapter 8

The next morning Violet got up to see that the place was dark. It was not normal for the house to be so dark. She turned on the light to see that Autumn was not in the living room. She went to look in the kitchen. The coffee pot was not even on which makes Violet wondered. She went to Autumn's room and her door was closed. This was not normal behavior for her. Violet decides to leave her alone for now. She might want to sleep longer. Violet knew that Autumn was hurting from the previous night. She did not want to bug her. When she gets like this, it can cause issues and she did not want to be the way in the line of fire. "I wish I knew why he did that to her. Autumn did not need this. I should check on her but if she is in that mood. It could spell trouble at the same time." Violet said to herself"VIOLET!" Autumn saidViolet jumped up and almost drop her book. "Y...Yesss" Violet said shaking"Why did you not come to wake me up?" Autumn asked"I figure you need sleep. I feel like you were still hurting." Violet said"I am hurting, I could make you breakfast or something. That was sweet of you to let me sleep." Autumn said"I am okay. I found something to eat and the coffee should be about ready. I feel like you need time for yourself. That guy hurt and I did not want to hurt you more." Violet explained"I know. Thanks for that. I guess I was hurting and went to sleep." Autumn saidViolet look around and realized that the house is still dark. Autumn turned some of the lights on. Violet was in old PJ which was old grey sweatpants and an old purple t-shirt. It was faded from the years. Autumn thought she needs to get rid of it but Violet will not let it go. Autumn did not know why but it had a connection to something in her past. It uses to have writing and image on it. It was one of the last things that she had of an old friend. Violet decides to go change. Autumn went into the kitchen to see that coffee was made. The kitchen was clean which means Violet must have done it. Violet came in and smile. Autumn looked around and saw that she was cleaning. Violet did not say anything. Violet just grabbed her cup for her coffee. Autumn grabbed hers as she could not believe it. "I thought that it would something nice to do to help out. I figured it would be nice to help you by cleaning some." Violet said"Yes, it does help. I am just surprised that you did. I know you don't like to clean that much." Autumn saidViolet nodded and look around. "Yeah but with what happened recently. I was thinking it could show that I care. I know how it could lead to disaster or painful memories. I was thinking if I clean it would help you." Violet saidThey finished their coffee. Violet's phone goes off, but she waited to answer it. She knew it was William, and she would explain what was going on. Autumn went to her room and closed the door. "Hey, sorry it took so long to reply. I have been cleaning. Autumn is hurting from what happened last night. I figure I would help her out since this happen. I have been busy and we were talking. I think that she was hoping this time would be different. I am hoping she would be over this quickly. I honestly could not believe that he did that to her. Now I am wondering about us. Sorry, it is just my broken past came back." Violet sends him "No worries. I just was hoping you did not change your mind. I am not going anywhere. I think what that guy did to Autumn was not right. I think that he lead her on and then destroy her. I think that why you feel like I could do that to you." William saidWhat they did not know is that William had already talked to the guy about what he did. William wants to know why he did that to her. His coworker came in the office while William was reading over the text. He looked at him and realized that something was going to happen. "We have an unplanned meeting. Something that the clients have requested. How fast can you be ready?" Gary asked him"I can be ready in a couple of moments. So what they need now?" William said"I know it is something that would mean changing. I wonder what is going on. I am wondering if it is a good thing." Gary saidWilliam and Gary go to the meeting room. William stopped when he saw her. She could not believe what just happened. "Well hello Mr. William," Autumn said"Well, Hello Autumn. What you are doing here?" William said"You know her?" Gary said "Yes. This is Victoria's sister. Well, I should say Violet." William said"Oh. Violet. The one that you check your phone all the time to see if she had written you." Gary said"Yes, that one." William said He looked over at the floor because he was embarrassed. "Aww. You and she have something else in common. She always has her phone with her now. She is always checking it." Autumn tell him"What you doing here?" William asked"I have an idea for a business and I thought I would run it by you. I know you are kind of business that works with other companies. I have been thinking about doing work with some business. I know it is a long shot but I thought maybe you could help me." Autumn said"Okay. Do we need to here? What I mean is you want to meet somewhere else? That way we will have more time to talk about it." William asked her"Actually. We could meet at my house." Autumn said"Is my girl I mean Violet going to be there?" William saidAutumn smile and nodded. "Yes, she will be there." Autumn said"Okay. I will see you in a little bit" William saidAutumn got up and walked out. William knew she was going to tell Violet. Gary went to leave as William sat down in a chair. He knew he would need help to keep messing this up. "These days are times I need my sister. I miss her." William saidWilliam's sister was killed in a car wreck when he was in college. Rose was the one he would turn to when he needs female advice. She was known by another name but everyone knew her as Rose. She had Red, white, and Yellow rose tattoo on her arm. When William and her parents passed, she went to get a black rose to add to it. The rose was bent a little. They made this to show that they were gone. William needs her right now to help him. Rose always knew what to say. "Only if Rose was still here. She could help with this." William saidWilliam went to his office and got supplies that he thinks he would need. It was already time for him to go before he realized it. He had to stop at the store to get something for Violet. A couple of hours later he was at their house. He knocked on the door. Autumn answers the door and ushers him in. Violet was at the table doing artwork so she did not notice he was there. William was looking around the place. Violet looked up and saw William. She lights up and almost flips her chair back. She ran to him, "What are you doing here?" Violet said"I ask him to help me with my project. I did not want you to know so you will be surprised. I let you and him have time together. I promise now can I get to work?" Autumn said"Yes sister. I am going to work on my artwork." Violet saidThey got to work while Violet went back to her artwork. William would look over at Violet every once in a while. She had been the focus so she did not even notice. Violet started to hum as she does when she is working on the artwork. "Violet, Really girl?" William saidShe realized that she was humming. She got quiet. Autumn rolled her eyes because Violet got quiet. They had an outline plan for what Autumn wanted. "I will run these plans by my co-workers to see if it will work. I am only one member of a bigger team." William said"Thanks," Autumn saidViolet had left while they were working on the outline. Autumn got up to see that Violet was not there. She looked down the hall and saw her door was closed. "Oh fudge cookies," Autumn saidShe was trying not to cuss in front of William. William looks at her like she was crazy. "Violet went to her room with the door closed. She must be having issues and don't want you to see them. I will be back. Hopefully, she will be with me." Autumn saidWilliam stood up and walked around. He was cleaning up the papers and work they had. Autumn went to check on Violet. Violet would do this if something is wrong. She would hide if something comes over here. It was her self-defense. Autumn had to get her to open up. She was hoping that William will not leave until she can get Violet. William was walking around the living room. He did not want to bother the rest of the house. He decides to sit on the couch. As he looked down at the floor, he heard footsteps from the hallway. He was going to pretend he did not hear them. It was Autumn coming up the hall. William looked over to see it was that it was just Autumn. "She will be here in couple of moments. She was changing clothes. She got paint on one of her old shirts. She was actually crying because she was scared you would leave." Autumn told him"I am still here. Just thinking about my sister." William said"Oh, you have a sister?" Autumn asked William look at the floor and Autumn knew it was something wrong. Violet had come to see that William was still there. She laughed a little nervously because she did not know what was going on. Violet came in and William looked at her. "Oh someone called Heaven. They are missing an angel right now." William saidAutumn shook her head but it got Violet to smile. She felt calm all of a sudden. Violet walked over to him. She got next to William which made Autumn move over. "Yes, I had a sister. We lost her a couple of years ago. She was killed in a car wreck. We lost her after losing our parents." William said They both were about to cry. "What was her name?" Autumn asked"Her friends called her Rose." William saidAutumn looked at Violet and they both looked at him. "Did she have green eyes, She had a red, white, and yellow rose tattoo on her left arm. She was killed during a rainstorm at night." Autumn said"Yes, How did you know?" William asked He was confused but shocked at the same time. He was wondering how they knew about his sister. William looked at Autumn and Violet. "Well, I knew her. We were friends until she went. Sometimes I still think about her. I always thought she had the prettiest green eyes i have seen. I thought it was interesting when she added the black rose. This is so strange because who would have thought that we will meet like this." Autumn said
