Tulips, they grow

VIVIANNE

I snuck out that night to go see fireworks for the 4th of July on the beach. They were pretty, very pretty. I've always wondered how they actually work, I'm just too lazy to search it up.

I know that if Juliette was here with me, she would be rambling all about how they work, and I would actually listen. Just because it was her.

It's nice to sit outside without having any electronics next to you. It was me and the sand, and maybe some other people, but they were too far away for me to actually acknowledge them.

I like pretending that it's just me and nature. It brings me comfort, and yet I always feel less alone by myself than with other people.

I've noticed not long ago how easily people are willing to sabotage you. It doesn't matter if they were dating you, or if they were your best friend. People always want more, and they'll do anything to get it.

What I've learned is that you will never get all of it. Sure, you'll get more, but after you get more, you want all of it, and that's just not possible.

I drew pictures in the sand, finding comfort in the noise of the fireworks.

I do wonder, however, how life would've been if we never moved.

In Oklahoma, I was just there. I was breathing and I was moving, but I wasn't truly living. Juliette lived for me. She would be the one who would start talking to random people, she would be the one begging our parents to let us go to parties. Although they were middle school parties, they were big for us. She would always have friends over and she was the life of the party. And I can't help but remember how much my parents liked Juliette back then. She was the heir of the Wilson family.

And then we moved to Kansas. Juliette changed into everything I was, and I changed into everything she was. I was the one who begged for Juliette to go to parties with me. And she obliged after hours of begging, and it wasn't because she enjoyed them, she just wanted me to be safe.

I remember how she sat in the corner, waiting for me to come back to her; drunk and almost passed out and she would walk me back home.

I don't remember a single time in Kansas when my parents were happy with Juliette. And soon I became the heir.

"Mind if I join you?"

AUTHORS NOTE!!!

So this is short again, so I'm really sorry! Once again you're learning more about the family so tell me what you think.

I hope you're starting to like Vivianne more!
