You're all I have (tate and violet)

chapter 4

I couldn't just stand there watching my dad bash Tate's head against the wall.

"Dad stop it!" I tried to get him off of Tate.

"Violet it's okay I'm dead, remember?" Tate laughed at my dad with blood dripping out of his nose.

"Don't you dare look at my daughter like that, she is nothing to you! you are a psychopath!" my dad said with a mad look on his face, screaming.

Tate was still laughing but it wasn't funny, I found it sad. I was mad, my dad is not the type of person who jokes around with shit like this.
"Yeah whatever, it's a 'free house' I can do whatever I want Ben." he said laughing harder than before wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Violet you have 3 seconds to remove his filthy hands off of you and come here." Tate gave him a look that says 'not gonna happen' but I do think my dad deserves a few answers.

I held Tate's hand tightly "Tate, I'll just talk to him for 10 minutes, we'll meet in the backyard." Tate rolled his eyes but went.

I sat next to my dad who's face was all red from anger "Violet why are you hanging out with Tate again?" he said trying to be calm but I know that he would loose his temper at anything I said right now.

"Dad I'm stuck in this house forever and Tate is the one who actually makes me happy in here. I know he's done some shitty things but he's changed, he loves me." I said in a calm voice that surprised me ,but that's good he needs to understand me.

"Violet look what he did to your mother?" I could feel he was on his last nerve.

"Mom seems perfectly fine to me?" I said trying to add some sarcasm into this conversation. I'm not a 'serious talker'.

My dad officially lost his shit. "Because of him you are dead, your mother is dead and we are stuck in this goddamn house!" he banged his hand on the sink and screamed.

"How am I dead because of Tate? You just make shit up so people don't blame you for your mistakes. We are all stuck on this house because of you! I'm dead because of you, you didn't give two shits when I was bullied, you could've sent me to another school! You cheated on mom with the same girl God knows how many time! Why did mom forgive you? Because she loves you and it's hard to be under the same roof with the person you love yet you can't hold him! You are worse than Tate and if you deserve forgiveness than he does to. He's a teenage boy who is still learning yet you are a grown man with kids and a wife! you disgust me!" I took a deep breath , gave him a terrible look, slammed the door in his face and left. I don't even care what he thinks I just needed to calm down.

Tate was sitting on the little wall in our backyard waiting for me with a cigarette. I sat opposite him and he lit the cigarette and put it in my mouth.

"I figured you needed it." he said trying to make me a bit happier.

"I'm actually glad we talked he deserved to be reminded what kind of a person he is." I said looking up at the sky wishing me and Tate were at a happier place where no one could stop us from being in love.

"We are all sinners and we all deserve to be forgiven, but the worst people are those who don't forgive." Even though Tate made some big mistakes he was right, people change but my dad didn't , if he did he would see that Tate deserves forgiveness just like him.

Tate had to suffer a lot more than my dad and that's why I think he realized all the things he knows.

Tate grabbed me around my waste and pulled me on his body which was leaning against the wall. We sat there for hours him playing with my hair and me talking about pointless shit that interested him.

"It's a beautiful night, I haven't seen this many stars in years." I said looking the stars as if they were a miracle.

"Do you see that little star that is a bit further than the rest of them?" Tate said trying to point where it was.

"Yes, well it looks like any other star." I said in confusion.

"three years ago I was sitting here alone and I saw that star exactly where it s today. I named it Violet because I found it so beautiful, I watched it for a long time, until one day it fell down but I swear I saw the exact same one the next day I knew it was my little Violet." he smiled at me and I gave him a smile back along with a little laugh because of his stupidity.

"You see Violet, stars are like human, one day they are shinning so bright and then one day they just fall thinking they are broken. But they always seem to find a way back up." I looked up at Tate who was looking at his little star Violet with so much love and caring.

"Tate you do know there is another Violet here?" I said sarcastically.

He kissed me trying to make me feel like the most loved girl in the world but little does he know whenever he is next to me I am.

For the rest of the night we played some game where we had to make an animal out of stars and then guess what we made. The game didn't really make sense and I don't think any of us guessed it right but it was still fun and we played it until the stars disappeared into the light blue sky.

We were just laying in the same position the next morning

"Oh look Tate its your mom, I guess she came here to make my parents some company." I said pointing to Constance who was entering the house.

"Since when did you two become so close? She's a terrible person who never regrets anything she's done!" Tate said meaning it.

I rolled my eyes, took Tate by the arm and entered the house. We decided to be invisible for no one see us because I didn't really want to talk to anyone after the talk with my dad.

My mom and Constance are sitting at the table and I didn't really pay attention to their conversation until "Marcy is selling the house today." left Constance's mouth.
