Axl laid awake in bed when he heard screaming from Violet's house. He quickly ran out of the house and ran to Violet's house. 

He ran to the window knowing good and well it wasn't locked. She never locked it ever since she was with Axl so he could come in whenever he wanted. 

Axl looked in the window and saw a sobbing Violet on the ground and Leo yelling at her and occasionally hitting her. Axl could hear him calling her fat and ugly and worthless. Rage hit Axl like a truck. 

So he was the one who broke us up. He threatened her. Axl thought. He crawled through the window. "Hey! Leave. Her. Alone," Axl said. Violet sniffled and looked at Axl and Leo turned madly to Axl. But before he had a chance to say anything Axl attacked him. 

He punched Leo's stomach and knocked him to the ground. He kicked him repeatedly. Then Axl jerked him up. "Now get out of here. If I ever see you near her again. I'll kill you, ya hear?" Axl said madly. Leo threw his hands up and nodded.

Once Leo left Axl ran to Violet. He sat on his knees and brought her to his chest. "Sh, baby, it's alright," Axl said raking his hand through Violet's brunette hair. "Axl... I missed you. I love you. I love you. I love you," Violet cried. "I know," Axl murmured. "I love you too." 

They laid in Violet's bed. Violet drew circles on Axl's chest as he softly sang to her. "You have a beautiful voice. You're going to make it big," Violet said. Axl smiled warmly. "I hope so, Izzy decided he wanted to be my rhythm guitarist," Axl said raking his hand through Violet's hair. "That's good," Violet said wrapping an arm around Axl's torso. 

"I love you," she said. "I love you too," Axl said. 

Violet crawled in his lap and kissed his lips. "You're beautiful, you know that, right?" Axl asked when Violet broke away from the kiss. Violet frowned. "No," she said hanging her head. Axl put his index finger and thumb under Violet's chin and lifted her head. "Well, you are. You're the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on," Axl said. Violet smiled. "I love you, Axl," Violet said wrapped her arms around his neck. She buried her face in his neck. Axl chuckled and wrapped his arms around her. "I love you too, baby," he said.

. . . . . . . . . . . . 

Violet woke up. Her body was sore and it ached. Axl was asleep by her side so she took the time to go to the bathroom and undress and look at her bruises and cuts. 

She stared in the mirror at her naked body. Why do I have to be so fat? she thought. And why would Axl wanna be with me? What do I have to offer him? 

Violet wasn't fat. But she wasn't skinny. She was just an average brunette with freckles that went across her nose and on her cheeks. She didn't look like any of the girls at her school who were gorgeous with beautiful body features.

Violet didn't even realize she was sobbing until she heard knocks on the door. "Violet are you alright?" Axl asked. "Y-yeah, I... I'm alright," Violet said before she sniffled. "I'm coming in," Axl said. He walked in and his eyes widened. He looked Violet up and down. 

"I know, I'm ugly," she said. "What?" Axl asked. "No, no, no, baby. You aren't, you're beautiful. Very. very, beautiful," Axl said. 

He scooped Violet up in his arms and carried her bridle style to the bedroom. He kissed her lips before setting her down. He grabbed his jacket and let her put it on because he could see she was uncomfortable. Axl placed his hands on Violet's hips and stared into her eyes. "Listen, baby, you're beautiful. You're perfect. You're everything I ever wanted and I love you," Axl said. "I love you too, Axl," Violet said. Axl kissed her lips before heading out the room so Violet could get dressed. 

She got dressed in sweatpants and a sweatshirt and told Axl he could come back in. Axl walked in and sat beside Violet pulling her into his lap. 

"You're beautiful. You're worth it. And I love you." 

Did anyone see the Star Wars reference in there. You've never heard of Star Wars. No, I know you either heard of Star Wars, watched Star Wars, or rode on at least one ride at Disney World or Disney Land. Never been to Disney World or Land? I feel sorry for you then. -Caitlyn.
