I Defy You Stars

Give Me My Sin Again

Violet walks towards her mom and her step dad in shame, knowing exactly what's about to go down.

"I cannot believe you Violet, you promised me you would do better! That you would shape up!" Joyce shouts.

"I'm sorry mom--"

"No! You do not get to say sorry and expect everything to be forgiven!" Bill cuts her off.

"How dare you put your mother through this, after everything that she's done for you!" He continues.

Violet hates him with every fiber of her being, but what Bill says, sort of makes sense.

Joyce turns away from Violet in disappointment and anger, and begins to cry softly.

"Mom, please! I'm sorry!" I beg.

Violet goes to grab her mom's shoulder when Bill steps in front of her.

"You've done enough Violet, get in the car!" Bill glares at her.

"No! I want to speak to mother, asshole!" I shout.

Violet attempts to go around him, but he blocks her.

"You do not talk to me that way! Now get in the car!" Bill orders.

Again, Violet tries to get around him and pushes him away, Bill grabs Violet's wrist and slaps her across the face, hard.

Joyce turns around and gasps.

Violet steps back in shock, putting her hand to her stinging cheek, hot tears forming in her eyes.

"Violet...I'm sorry...i didn't mean to--" Bill stutters.

Violet runs in the opposite direction, out of the parking lot, down the street, running as fast as she could, tears running down her cheeks, all she wanted was to get far, far away from everyone.

She runs to the junkyard and slows down her pace.

Violet runs behind one of the cars and collapses to the ground, sobbing.

After a few minutes, Violet calms herself and stands back up, thinking of what to do.

She examines the car she was leaning against and opens the back door.

Violet lays down in the backseat of the car, regaining her thoughts.

I can't go back home, there's no way.

Violet slowly shuts her eyes and accidentally falls asleep.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Violet jerks awake, startled by the noise, she sits up and see's Ashley knocking at the window of the car, grinning at her.

Ashley opens the door and leans down to look at Violet.

"Hey..." Ashley says, softly.

"Hey..."

"Can i sit?" She asks.

"Yeah, sure."

Ashley scoots into the backseat of the old car and shuts the door.

"Violet...i'm so so sorry. I feel so guilty, i didn't know that was going to happen. This is all my fault. Jesus i'm such a fucking idiot, i'm so sorry." She says basically on the verge of tears, putting her face in her hands.

"Hey, it's alright Ash, it was my decision to take the blame." Reassuring her, hesitantly putting my hand on her back.

Ashley looks up at me with sad eyes and grabs my hand, squeezing it tightly.

She looks away from me, her face changes like she's thinking hard about something.

"What it is?" I ask her.

"Let's get the hell outta here, Violet." She says boldly.

"What? W-what are you talking about?" I stutter.

"My...parents are the absolute fucking worst, all they care about is making sure they look like the perfect family with their perfect daughter, they don't care about me Violet, they spend their nights screaming at each other and oh yeah, guess what? My dad is cheating on my mom! I know it sounds insane but i saw him, Vi. You are the only person who i know cares about me and who i can truly trust." She says staring directly into my eyes, still squeezing my hand.

I can tell she's in pain.

"Ash, we've only know each other like 2 days...i know what you mean, but are you sure about this?" I ask her.

"Positive." She says, still looking directly into my eyes.

"Look, i saw what happened in the parking lot...i snuck out of class to come talk to you and that's when i saw...Violet, you don't deserve that bullshit. Neither of us deserve this."

"We can try and get one of these cars working! And drive all the way to California! Or the East Coast! We can do whatever we want!" She laughs.

"I know we've only known each other two days, but i don't care, you're my home Violet." She says softly, tucking my hair behind my ear and placing her hand on the red mark Bill had left, cupping my cheek.

She leans in closer to me slowly and looks down at my lips for a moment and then back up at my eyes.

I press my lips against hers.

She starts to lean over me, pushing me down onto my back, our hands exploring each other, she moves her hands to my waist and grips me tightly.

Her touch makes me melt, her lips move to my neck, sucking at my skin, i groan and grab her hips, bringing her in closer to me, it feels like i've been waiting for this my entire life and i couldn't get enough.

Her scent, her taste, her touch. I loved every second of it.
