Unbeknownst to their parents, Violet and Cole had a clandestine 9-month relationship before parting ways following Cole's injury, courtesy of Paige. Despite the messy breakup, Violet managed to maintain a positive connection with the Walters, except...

Cole's room exuded an ethereal glow as Violet stepped inside, her heart dancing with anticipation. "We made it back, didn't we?" Cole's voice, warm and familiar, echoed in the air.
A soft rustle of curtains seemed to whisper secrets, revealing the silhouette of Cole and Paige entwined in an intimate moment. Violet's eyes widened, the air thickening as echoes of a pained heartbeat filled the room.
"Not again," Violet gasped, her voice an urgent plea that mingled with the gentle cadence of the wind. She turned and fled, footsteps resonating like distant drums. Through fields of dreams, she sprinted, the world a watercolor blur around her.
The moonlit meadow unfolded endlessly as Violet ran, a silent symphony of emotions orchestrating her escape. "Cole!" she cried, the word carried away on the breeze.
In the dream's labyrinth, her breath became the rhythm of the night. The landscape morphed, surreal and untamed, mirroring the depths of her heart. Shadows whispered untold tales, and the dream danced on the precipice of reality.
Suddenly, Violet jolted awake, gasping for breath as if the dream's tendrils lingered.
"Are you okay?" Daisy's voice drips with disgust. "W-What?"
"Well, one, you're all sweaty, and two, you literally yelled out Cole's name?" she says. Violet shifts, moving her legs off the bed and taking a deep breath. "Just had a nightmare."
"Okay," Daisy says, walking away.
Tomorrow, Jackie was coming. Violet wasn't nervous about her arrival, but rather about how Jackie would react to living with that many boys and the school environment.
Isaac had bombarded her with 30 texts since last night. Talk about a clingy best friend.
An incoming FaceTime call interrupts her thoughts.
'ANNOYING ASS BITCH'
"Hello, Isaac," Violet answers the phone. Isaac frowns, "Did you JUST wake up? It's 10 am!"
"And? I could sleep in until 3 pm, but I had a disgusting dream."
"Sure, I'm on my way to your place. How about we meet halfway? Jackie—ew—is coming tomorrow, so it's my last day of freedom!" Isaac shares as Violet slips on her shoes and steps outside, still on the call.
"She's not interrupting your freedom in any way, Isaac," Violet remarks. Isaac huffs, "She is interrupting my lifestyle. This could change my whole trajectory," he says dramatically.
"Big words for such a small fella," Violet teases. Isaac hangs up and approaches her, giving her a playful push.
The following day, Jackie did indeed appear. Violet, initially concerned she might have seen the town and ran away, was chasing Lee on his skateboard when he nearly collided with Jackie. Violet halted, apologizing frantically, "I'm so sorry about him! And me, oh my god, I'm a mess! He stole my favorite pen! Isaac had a message written in it from when we were like 11, and he won't give it back—oh god, I'm rambling! I'm Violet... Violet um Fields. You're Jackie Howard, it's so nice to meet you, wow, you're gorgeous."
Jackie, perplexed, responded, "Nice to meet you." Violet beamed, "I'll be in the pool if you need me!" she exclaimed, rushing around the porch, yelling for Lee.
Violet sprinted toward the pool, tackled Lee off his skateboard, and stood up triumphantly, "Success! Never take my favorite pen again, bitch!" she yelled, then covered her mouth as Benny and Parker stared at her in disbelief. "COLE! Vee said a bad word!" Benny exclaimed, and Cole smirked while Violet shook her head, still covering her mouth.
Lee stood up, claiming, "In the end, I win," before walking away. Violet approached Benny and Parker, urging secrecy, "Guys, I didn't say anything, okay? Shhhhhh, no one heard anything. We're just gonna keep this between us three."
Parker pointed out, "Well, Cole knows now." Violet glanced at Cole, "Yes, and Cole is also going to keep it a secret, just the four of us, okay?" She smiled at Benny, who grinned, "Like old times?!"
Violet was momentarily taken aback. Cole observed her faltering expression, "Yep, buddy. Now, I think Jordan wants to film you guys playing, so why don't you go find him?" Cole suggested, leaning on his knees. Benny and Parker eagerly turned to locate Jordan.
Cole observed her intently, "You going in?" he asked as she undressed. She pursed her lips, "I'm feeling it," she replied, walking toward the edge. Cole smirked, thinking he had the perfect idea, hoping it would break the ice.
Violet shrieked suddenly as she was pushed in, emerging from the water with a glare. "COLE!" she exclaimed, while he laughed. "You set it up perfectly!" he claimed, and she sighed, holding out her hand. "Let me out."
"You're just gonna pull me in," he said, smirking. She shook her head innocently, "No, I won't. Please, I'm freezing." She gave him puppy dog eyes, and he reluctantly held out his arm. As expected, she pulled him in. Emerging, he smiled at her. "See, I knew that was coming."
"No, you didn't," she countered, and he playfully dunked her underwater. As she came up, she grabbed his shoulders and pushed him under. Quickly, he pulled her into him. They both stopped, staring into each other's eyes, feeling a shift in the air. Violet's cheeks warmed.
"Cole!" Will's voice interrupted them. Violet pulled away, hastily wrapping herself in a towel and grabbing her clothes. "Bye, guys!" she exclaimed, running past Will and Jackie.
Cole took a deep breath, getting out of the pool without saying anything to Jackie, his focus entirely on Violet.
Isaac's voice echoed, "Violet! Hey! Violet!" She quickened her pace, attempting to conceal the tears streaming down her face. 'I'm going home! I'll see you later on!' she declared, still avoiding him. He pursued her, grabbing her arm. "Hey, what's wrong?" he demanded. She shook her head, managing a smile. "No, nothing."
"Violet, you're crying. What's wrong?" he persisted. She took a deep breath. "Just was in the pool with Cole, and it felt like old times. Then I realized it's not, and nothing is ever going to be the same because I can't get it—them!—out of my mind. It replays in my head over and over again like some sort of joke. I can't look at him without seeing them. So right now, I need to go home and get myself together," she ranted. Isaac suddenly pulled her into a tight hug.
Unbeknownst to them, Cole watched from his bedroom window as they stood between the two fields of the Walters and Fields household. Jealousy bubbled in his stomach, annoyed that Isaac could hold her and not him.
