VIOLETS POV

I sunk into Tate and Nora's arms, sobbing.
I can't believe my own father told me to go away.
I mean my moms forgiven Tate, I didn't understand why my dad couldn't.
"Violet, what happened my dear?" Nora asked. She was so kind and proper.
"We were just arguing, and he just screamed go away." I sobbed into Tate and Nora.
"This is my fault, and I have to fix it." Tate said as he pulled away.
"No Tate please!" I pleaded grabbing Tate's green and black sweater.
"Violet. No. It's not fair. I didn't have a relationship with my father and look how fucked up I am!" He yelled as he put my hand in his. He raced up the stairs.
"It will be okay darling." Nora hugged me. "You know why you could see Tate after you told him to go away?" I looked up at Nora.
"It was because you wanted to see him, and he wanted to see you."
"But at that moment I knew it was going to be bad." I said wiping the tears that flooded my cheeks.
"That's what your head was saying." Nora said pulling me back into a hug. It was obvious she wanted a child. She would've been a great mother.
Tate told me about when Thaddeus about near chomped off his hand when Nora saved him. She was like a mother to Tate. The mother Constance never was.
My mother was probably too worried about my dad to even notice me.
Tate came back down gritting his teeth and clenching his fists.
"I want to kill him so bad, but he's already fucking dead." He paced back and forth.
"Tate what happened?" I said as I left Nora's hug.
"He called me a bunch of shit. I don't care. He started to bash you." he continued to pace.
"I can take it. It's fine Tate." I tried to calm him down.
"No it's not." He jolted to a stop. "Violet, he hurt you. What did I say I would do?" He asked me.
"Protect me." I said as I grabbed onto him. "But there's nothing to protect me from."
He hugged me back. "I love you Violet. Your father doesn't get it, its my fault." Tate began to cry into me.
"Tate, what are you saying?" I let go. I looked at him. I felt my eyes well up with tears.
"Violet, I'm saying go away." he cried.
"Please, Tate!" I screamed.
"It'll be okay. It's the only way to fix you and your dad's relationship!" He yelled as he kissed my forehead.
"GO AWAY VIOLET!" He screamed. My eyes overflowed with tears.
"TATE YOURE ALL I HAVE!" I screamed.
"GO AWAY!" He screamed as I vanished into the living room.
Wow. My dad and my boyfriend told me to go away in the same day.
I ran to the basement to see Tate sobbing into Nora's shoulder.
Like Tate said.
I could see him. I could feel him. But he wouldn't see, or hear, or feel a thing.
I actually felt something with Tate. Now I knew how it felt.
Tate was right.
It wasn't happiness. It wasn't sadness. It full emptiness. How could I have done this to Tate?

At least he had a reason for me to go away.

Nora could see me. Nora could hear me.

"Nora!" I ran over and hugged her.
Tate looked at her crazy as she hugged me.
"What the hell are you hugging?" He asked Nora.
"Violet." Nora said. I turned to see Tate.
"Violet. I don't know if you can hear me, but I did this for us. With me telling you to go away you can fix this with your dad. I knew you wouldn't tell me to go away. I had to. I know it will all be okay." He didn't know exactly where I was yet he still hugged me. Thank god I could feel it.

TATES POV

I hated it. It had been so long. I know Violet and her dad fixed things. Damn. It's already 2015 Violet and I talked on December thirtieth. It's now February. I'm glad that she's doing okay. I can see her now. She's still fucking gorgeous. I miss her.

I turned to see her go into the bathroom. Not again. I ran to the bathroom. I slid through the door before she shut it.

I seen her grab her razors. They were duct taped under the sink.

She slid the first one across her soft, cold skin.
I winced at the sight of her hurting herself.
She did it again and again and again.
She probably wanted to feel pain again. Wasn't us being apart enough?
As she went to make another slit in her arm I grabbed the razor with one hand and grabbed her arm with another. I kissed the scars, and got up most of the blood.
"Tate." She said as she cried.
I hugged her. "things with my dad are okay! Please. Please Tate. I miss you!" She begged me as I kissed her.
"Violet. There is not a day I go without loving you." I smiled as she kissed me with so much power she was able to wrap her legs around my waist. I put my arms under her thighs to support her. She kissed me as I went into the bedroom and locked the door.
I laid her down in the bed. The fluffy blankets and pillows of carries bed surrounded us.

She started to undress me and I to her.

Eventually we were under the sheets.

We laid there gazing at the ceiling the whole night. I had forgot how one of the new families put stick in glow-in-the dark stars up there.
The next day Violet and I spent the whole day in the room. Talking. Kissing. Crying. Laying. Laughing. Anything was worth it. As long as I was with her, and she was with me.
"I've never felt this way." She looked at me. "Especially after being dead."
"Well." I smirked. "I'm good."
"Oh god." Her eyes widened as she kissed me. She laid on my chest and wrapped her legs around me. Her arms were strung behind my neck and over my chest.
I could feel her soft blonde hair and her soft skin in my palms.
"The last two months have been shit for me. What about you?" I asked her as I covered us in the fluffy white blanket.
"Well the only good thing was getting re-aquatinted with my dad. But he still hates me, but I hate him so it's okay." She said as she played with my ring on my thumb.
"Who gave this to you?" She asked holding up my hand.
"My hand?" I laughed.
"No! Your ring." She laughed smacking my chest.
"Ohh, my dad gave it to me." I took of the ring to look at it.
"He didn't really leave me. My crazy ass mother killed him when he tried to get with Moira. He was always drunk, but he was the best dad when he would hang out with me. I was only six when my mom shot him. You never really know what you have, or had until you loose it."
Violet turned and slipped the ring back into my thumb.
"Of course it didn't fit me when I was like five but as soon as it did, I never took it off. But then I met Nora and didn't really need anyone. She was that parent I never had. She protected me and took care of me. Lord knows Constance did a shitty job." I laughed.
"Tate, I wish that you could've had a beautiful life." Violet said as she traced along my chest.
"Well, I'll have a beautiful afterlife. I'll make goddamn sure you do." I kissed violets forehead.

She jumped up and dug through the closet until she found her old iPod.
"Got any Kurt Cobain on that thing?" I laughed as I Remembered the day that I hung out with Violet. Fear of rejection. Bullshit. Everyone has the fear of rejection.
She played a Nirvanna song. Smelled like a teen spirit. I loved this song. Violet started to sing along.
"SMELLED LIKE A TATE SPIRIT!" She yelled.
"Oh lord." I said as I covered my face.

Seeing Violet dance and sing made me feel something that I hadn't felt in almost three years. Happiness.

HAYDENS POV

I was in the bedroom where Tate and Violet were. They were so happy. Dancing. Singing. Laughing. Ben and I could've been like that. With our baby. That dumbass Larry killed me.

"SMELLED LIKE A TATE SPIRIT!" Violet would sing. I wasn't sure if it was singing or screeching.

I didn't really care. Watching them, have the lovely relationship I never had and never will have is all I wanted to do.

I wanted friends. I wanted a family. I had all of those things. Almost.

I opened the door and left. Those two little love birds didn't come up for air long enough to notice.

I traced my finger along the wooden staircase railing as I walked down to the kitchen to see Ben sitting there drinking a beer and smoking.

"You know, that won't make you feel any less." I said grabbing myself a beer.
"Hayden." He said looking at me. "No."
Everyone always thought that all I wanted was sex. No. I wanted a friend and a family. A baby. But I'm dead and dead people don't have babies.

"Don't worry Ben. I don't want your dick." I laughed as I took a gulp of the beer.
"I just wanted to talk. And relax."

"Well, talk. Relax. I am a shrink." He said chuckling.
"I have a question." I said scooting closer to him.
"Shoot." He said looking down at me.
"Did you ever love me?" I asked.
"Oh here we go." He said standing up. "Hayden I did at one time. Then you turned into a crazy-sex-deprived-bitch." I placed his beer on the counter and left.

Wow. Jerk.
I walked back to the bedroom. I could hear Violet giggle as Tate tried to sing modern day music.

I swung open the door.
"Will you mother fuckers shut the hell up already? No one wants to hear a goddamn dead boy sing and a girl giggle her perky little ass off!" I yelled. They couldn't hear me. They told me to go away.
