"Hi, " Violet sat next to her, "I'm Violet. This is Addy."
"Hi. I'm Scarlett. " the girl smiled, wiping tears away.
"Why are you crying?" Violet asked.
"No reason." She smiled.
"Are you sure? Why are you all alone?" Addy asked.
"Oh. Well I came to LA with some friends and they kind of left me here. I can't get any of them to answer their phones." She explained.
"Oh. Well, " Violet said, standing up," were having a "party" if you wanna come hang out until someone comes for you."
"That sounds fun. I don't wanna be a bother." She said.
"Really it's no trouble." Addy said
"Okay. Thank you guys."she wiped her face one last time and stood up.
"Let's go meet the boys." Violet said, leading them back to the party.
"This is Scarlett.", Violet said, "Michael, Luke, Bryan, Johnnie, Ashton, and Michael. " she said.
Calum was trying to start a fire when Violet said his name. He looked up, back down, then up again, doing a double take and burning his finger in the process. A couple of hours and drinks later, Addy had gone and sat with Luke, Violet and Scarlett sat together as did the guys.
"Who did you say that guy over there is? Calum?" Scarlett asked, red faced.
"Yep. That's Cal." Violet took a sip.
"He's cute." She said, before thinking.
"Oh yeah? Like date able cute?" Violet laughed.
"I mean yeah, he's cute. But he wouldnt... it would never happen."
"Oh yeah? Let's see that." Half drunken Violet said, stumbling over to Calum.
"He Calum! I got a question for you!"
"Yeah what's that?" He laughed at her.
"That girl. What do you think of her?"
"Scarlett? She's cute." He said.
"Well, here's an idea. Take this, "she handed him her drink, "go over there, and talk to her."
"Why?" He started to Panic.
"Because. You think she's cute, she thinks you're cute. Go for it!"
"Yeah. Okay!" He said walking over to her. They started talking and laughing and hit it off right away. Not too long after the two drunk teenagers started talking, they started to make out in front of everyone like no one was there. Violet sat alone.
"Why aren't you over there with violet mate?" Ashton asked.
"She isn't quite happen with me right now Ash." He said, chugging his drink.
"What did you do?" He asked, sounding concerned.
"I can't tell you. Shell hate me for it. "
"Tell me so I can help you, you noob." Ash laughed then quickly went back to his serious tone.
"Why does it even matter Ashton." He sounded annoyed, drinking more.
"Because Michael. I see something in you two. You've only just met her a few days ago and you two are almost inseparable. Just talk to me. I want to help. Just tell me what happened" Ash said, taking Michael's drink from him.
"We were walking.", he started, "and we got to the boardwalk and started kissing. Like lots of kissing. I grabbed her arms and was messing with her wrist and I noticed something weird." He paused.
"And?" Ash knew but wanted to hear for sure.
"She has cuts on her arms. Both of them." He looked into the fire re imagining it.
"Oh no. How bad is it?" Ash frowned.
"All the way up her forearm at least. Maybe even more."
"So remind me again why she's mad?" Ash asked.
" I saw them. I tried to ask her about them. She stormed off. Can you... can you talk to her? I don't know why she does it but...dude I can't lose her." He looked as if he was going to cry.
"I'll talk to her, Mikey. But you know as well as anyone how that is. And the long term affects of it."
"Thank you Ash."Mikey hugged him
"You're welcome bro." He laughed walking over to Violet grabbing a peace tea on his way.
"Hey, Violet." Ash said, sitting next to her with a bottle of Vodka in his hand.
"Hi Ash." She said smiling.
"Wanna see a major trick?" He joked.
"Sure."
He pulled out the can of peace tea, opened it, poured half of it out and filled it back up with Vodka.
"Drink this." He handed it to her.
"Yum."she said taking a sip.
"Let's go for a walk." Ash smiled.
"Um...", she looked at Mikey, then back at Ashtons smiling face, " yeah sure."
He helped her stand and they began walking. They walked and walked until they ended up sitting on a big rock sitting criss cross facing each other.
"So what's the deal with you and Michael?" He asked, taking a drink of the Peace Tea concoction.
"The deal is...", she took a drink, "there is no deal."
"I know better than That Violet. There is something there. Whether you want to believe it or not. You guys have something." He said.
"Yeah well... I think I may have ruined it. Earlier I mean...never mind. It isn't important."
"Hey," he said grabbing her hands, "it is important. " he moved her sleeves up just enough to reveal a small amount of scars. He ran his thumbs over them, admiring them. She jerked her arms out of his grip.
"Michael told you. Dammit!" She yelled, standing up.
"Only because he cares about you Violet. He's worried sick about you. He knows wha-"
"He knows what Ashton! ", she started to cry, " He knows what it's like to be like this?" She took off her flannel, exposing her arms, covered in scars new and old. He stood up as well.
"Hey. Don't cry. Calm down. I just want to talk okay." He pulled her in and hugged her. He grabbed her hands and before she knew what he was doing, he put them up his shirt.
She tried to pull away but he stopped her.
"Hey. Feel." He whispered.
She slowly ran her fingers over him skin and noticed it was bumby.
"Ash is that..."
"Yep, " He interrupted wiping the tears from her face, "I understand, Violet." He looked her in the eyes and for a split second, he felt like they were the only two people in the world. He put his thumb on her chin pulling her lips into his. She moved away from him and they looked at eachother.
"I'm sorry."he said.
"For what? " she asked.
"This." He grabbed her back, pulled her in and kissed her again. She thought about what she was doing and she quickly pulled away.
"I'm sorry Ashton I can't do this to Michael."
"I understand. I'm sorry that was my fault I should not have done that."he hugged her.
"Let's go back."
"Okay. Sounds cool." They started walking back. When they got there she went over to Michael and sat next to him.
"I'm sorry for being a bitch, Mikey."
"You weren't a bitch."
"Yes I was. I'm sorry."
"Come here." He put an arm around her and cuddled her, leaving a small kiss on her forehead. He grabbed her wrist and pulled up the sleeve and looked at her arm. He ran his finger over the scars and then kissed them.
"I love you Violet."
"I love you too Michael Clifford. "
She fell asleep in his arms on the beach. The next morning, they all woke up on the beach Violet in Mikeys arms, Addy in Lukes and Scarlett in Calums. They walked back to the hotel and talked in front.
Calum put his beanie on Scarlett and put her in his lap, wrapping his arms around her.
"I had fun you guys. Thanks." Scarlett said.
"I did too" Calum smirked.
"I guess I'm gonna go." She said.
"No don't leave!" He grabbed her hands.
"Stay Scarlett! Well go for breakfast. All of us." Violet said wrapping her arms around Michael.
"Uh...okay. I Don't have any clothes tho."
"It's cool. Come up with us you can wear something of ours." Addy smiled.
"Okay." She smiled.
Michael grabbed Violet as she tried to walk away and kissed her. As she walked away she saw Ashton looking at her and blushed.
