You're all I have (tate and violet)

chapter 8

"Is this some kind of joke? I didn't know once you become a ghost you can clone yourself." I was saying to Tate. I can't believe for a second I actually thought someone else was here. He's only doing this so I believe he didn't kiss Maya.

"Violet , this is my brother Brandon this isn't a joke. I don't even know why is he here!" Tate was trying to calm me down, I was going crazy, waling around in a tiny circle waving my hands around like a freak. He gave the guy 'Brandon' a mad look.

"Are you two really gonna act like I'm not here?" Tate's clone asked laughing at us.

"Why the hell are you here? Shouldn't you be living your perfect life?" Tate was really mad but I could see that he was trying to stay as calm as possible for me.He wanted to prove to me that he has changed.

"What perfect life?" Brandon seemed so sad and I swear I saw a tear drop.

"The life that I didn't get to have! The one that me, Addie and Beau could've had! The one with my dad! Mom wasn't happy with Addie and Beau and I made her chance at a perfect life worse so she tried again! After I died you were born and the same dad who left me alone with that bitch is the same dad who came back for you even though he knew you weren't his kid!" Tate started crying. I never really understood his family tree and hearing this is heartbreaking.

"Tate it's okay you have me." I kissed his lips because I knew how comforting that was for him. I totally forgot Brandon was even here until I heard him cry too.

"You really think your dad came back for me? I was sent to a foster home because I couldn't be raised by mom! She killed your father and lied to you this whole time Tate! She is the reason that you are dead and the reason that I am here crying to two dead kids!"

"That bitch lied to me again! I can't believe she killed the only person who understood me! She deserves to die!" I didn't think she deserved to die, no one did. But I wrapped my arms around Tate because I could feel he needed it more than ever. He was broken once again. It's crazy how many time one person can hurt you.

I didn't even know Brandon but I could tell by the sad looks on both their faces that they buried the hatchet between them. I never knew Constance was like this. I always thought she was trying to help Tate but in reality she was trying to help herself.

Tate and Brandon talked through a few things and Brandon admitted to me and Tate that he kissed Maya.We were sitting on the floor in my room. Talking for two hours. I got to know Brandon and I realized he is a lot like Tate. He told me that he is 23 and has been in foster care for 22 years trying to figure out his life. He comes back to the house every 5 years but Tate barely talks to him. We told him all about the house and things that happened the past few years. About the people here, the drama. He knew everything. Except for one very important thing.

"Where is Addie? I brought her some candy." Brandon's face lit up at the thought of his sister.

"Brandon... Addie was hit by a car 4 years ago in front of this house." the moment I said those words my heart broke. I only knew Addie for a little while but she was such a positive person who lived life to the fullest.

"What....what are you...saying...this can't be true...you are just screwing with me..." after two hours of happines and smiles Brandon started to cry.

Mine and Tate's heads dropped. If anyone deserved to be happy it was Addie.

"I promised her that I would be back for her! I promised her!" Brandon wasn't even crying anymore he was screaming.

"Brandon, Addie is in a happier and better place now! she didn't fit in with us here. She is too good." Tate said with tears falling down his face.
