"I really don't want a new family to move in." I said to Tate while we were sitting on the floor in my room.

"Violet, it's not big deal. Sure 98% of the families that move here are annoying as fuck, but there is nothing we can do about that." Tate said rubbing my check with his thumb which made me a bit happier.

"It's not that Tate. I don't want more people to die like this. Who knows I could've been president one day? This house is full of miserable people who don't deserve to be here." I said also thinking about how someone will takeover my room, but I didn't really wanna say that to sound selfish.

"Everything will be okay Vi. It's you and me together forever, remember?" Tate gave me a cute smile and kissed my nose.

"I'm gonna go talk to my mom about everything that's going on, she's probably worried about me since we haven't talked in 3 days." I said getting up even thought I really wanted to stay with Tate.

"Okay, I'll go play with Beau for a while. Meet me in the attick later on?" Tate said and kissed me again.

...

"Hey mom." I pulled out the chair next to my mom who was sipping her lemon tea.

"Hey sunshine." my mom gave me a sarcastic smile.

"Mom, don't forget that my name is Violet, Sunshine was your second option. Plus, Sunshine Harmon doesn't really go good together." we both laughed.

"What about Sunshine Langdon?" my mom said dead serious. I think my heart stopped when I heard the last name 'Langdon'. My heart was beating so fast I didn't know what to say.

"Violet, I know you and Tate are seeing eachother again." my mom said pouring me a glass of water seeing that I am in a very uncomfortable situation.

"Do you think that Tate deserves my forgiveness?" it came out almost as a whisper, I just wanted to know what my mom thought about it.

"Tate has done some very bad things." my body froze because I knew where she was going with this.

"... but we all do bad things. You know what they say, if you love someone you should let him go and if they mean anything they will come back. I was incredibly proud when you let him go but you weren't happy. And if he can make you happy in this murder house then I say keep him." my mom kissed my forehead and I hugged her so tight. I never expected her to say what she just did.

"I love you mom." I think that's the first time I told her that since we moved here.

"I love you more sweetie." we both had big smiles on our faces.

"Dad was very mad about this, he hurt Tate." I said closing my eyes at the thought.

"Your dad is mad at Tate for lying to all of us. And it's gonna take him a long time to find a way to look at him not wanting to hurt him." my mom said in a sad but comforting way.

"He doesn't realize how lucky he is that you are even looking at him, let alone for forgiving him." I didn't wanna bring up the thing that Tate raped her because she was so sad back when she first found that out.

"Most men are like that and most women just have to deal with that sadly." i nodded and we both laughed.

"Ladies I hate to wreck the mood but you must go to 'invisible mode' the owners are here." Moira warned us. She was wearing her everyday maid outfit. I could see the sadness in her eyes. If anyone hates being invisible it's definitely Moira. She has always been such a good person to us and always cleaned all 'the messes' yet she never complained.

"I'm gonna go feed Victor, if you see any ghosts on the way remind them that the owners are getting their things from the car." my mom was referring to my brother who is one of the main reasons that her and my dad are in a good relationship again.

I nodded and left the room.

...
"Why don't we play some tricks on the new owners? It will be fun to see them suffer" Tate asked me laughing while he was passing around the ball with me and Beau.

"No way! I'm sticking to the basic plan." I said getting up annoyed from staying in this dark attick.

"Where are you going?" Tate got up too.

"I'm gonna see who got my room." I found it really rude that Tate wanted to hurt them. I know he doesnt mean to do anything really bad but still.

...

"Who are you?" a tall boy with brown pulled up hair greeted me.

"Who are you?" I said challenging him.

"well I kinda live here." I thought he would be pissed but he had a smirk on his face.

"I didn't realize that anyone lived here. I come here and just hang out when I'm bored. I live a few blocks away." I smiled back.

"well you aren't bothering me." I could see he was a bit nervous even though I was sure he was a 'fuck boy'.

"so what's your name?" I asked.

"It's Josh, what's yours?" he asked smiling once again.

"Violet." we were both smiling until he looked at my arm.

"Violet why do you hurt yourself? You are a beautiful girl and you should be happy." he had a worried face holding my arm.

"Oh ,these are old scars, I don't hurt myself anymore." it was a bit awkward but I could see he cared.

"If you ever need anyone to talk to. remember that I am here." He said in a caring way.

"So who did you move in here with?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"Just me and a few friends, we heard this house was haunted so we thought it'd be fun to live here alone." he seemed super excited.

"Really? That's so cool! But how old are you then?" he looked about 18 and it's imposible to sell a house to a bunch on 17 year olds.

"I'm 18 but I come from a rich family so I just told my dad to buy the house on his name." he winked at me and sat even closer. He was playing with the cross necklace around his neck smiling at me.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing? Get away from her before I slit your neck, and don't think I won't !" Tate grabbed his neck and I could see he was ready to kill him.

"Get out of my house or I'll beat the shit out of you and call the cops!" Josh pushed him off.

"I will fucking kill you!" Tate had a knife in his hand. I was speechless I didn't know what to do, so I screamed. They both stopped and looked at me.

"Tate are you sick? You aren't gonna kill anyone! Remember what you said?" I was so mad and sad. Tate said he would never hurt let alone kill someone.

"Violet... I ..." Tate tried to say something. He promised me and he know he did. If he thinks that me talking to a boy is worth killing I don't have anything to say and I'm not in the mood to listen to his bullshit 'I love you's'

"Go away." I cut him off. His smile faded.
