The VIOLET-verse series centers on the young adulthood lives of Violet Benton and The Benton Gang as they are entangled in dark plots and small town Arrington drama.
In my darken bedroom, I'm laying in bed, underneath the fluffy lavender bedcover, asleep, wearing my pajamas.

I gently knock is on the door downstairs. I tiredly gets up from bed, gently puts on my light blue-purple robe and walks out of my bedroom.
I gently walks down the stairs, into the living room and up to the door.
I open the door and sees Jonny there. "Jonny?"
"Hey, Vinny." He greeted me and walks inside.
I close the door and looks at him. "What are you doing here? It's 11:15 PM?"
"I know, but I wanted to see you." Jonny said to me.
"Well, I'm fine. Thanks for your concern." I said with a small attitude and folds my arms.
Jonny just looks at me. "How long are you gonna keep this up?"
"What are you talking about?" I asked him.
"This small attitude of yours?" Jonny said. "I get it. You dislike me and Monica being together and pretending to fake dating each other. And yes, we kissed, but that was in front of Eleanor."
"I don't care, J. You can have Monica. It's not like you haven't had that wench before." I told him, referring to his and Monica's intimacy.
Jonny looks at me, shocked, that I would say something like that.
And I realized what I said and immediately regrets it. "I'm sorry, that was mean. You didn't deserve that."
"Maybe, I did." Jonny said.
I walk over to the three seat couch and sits down. "You did, but you don't. Sometimes, when I look at you and Monica, I'm reminded of "Jonica" back at high school at Somerville High."
Jonny walks over to me and sits down next to me on the couch. "You know that Me and Monica have history between us and it won't go away."
"I know, Jonny. I know." I said to him.
"But you and I have history between us too. I never meant for you to feel like you were a second choice for me. I never wanted that for you." Jonny said to me.
"I know." I said.
"But it's bygones now." Jonny and I said in unison. And we exchange small smiles at each other.
"We're still "Jiolet", we're still J and V all the way." Jonny reassured me. "It's just that, Me and Monica, has to keep us the ruse for Eleanor."
"I know and I get it." I said.
"Thanks for understanding." Jonny thanked me with a small smile. "And if it makes you feel any better, I didn't feel that spark when I kissed Monica."
"Jonny? You have to reassure me. I trust you. I will always trust you." I tell him.
Jonny pecks a kiss on my left cheek and gently puts an arm around my shoulder. And I gently leans my head on his left shoulder.
"A sparkless kiss? Sounds a little bit weird." I said.
Jonny and I exchange soft chuckles with each other.

- Third POV -
At Eric's and Monica's shared apartment, the exes are sitting on the three seat couch.
"Jonny and I are really sorry that you and Violet had to see us kiss. But the kiss was a part of a ruse for Eleanor." Monica apologized.
"I will always trust you, M." said Eric.
"And yes, you already know there's history between Jonny and I, but it doesn't overshadow what we have, Eric."
"I know." Eric said.
"And to ease your mind, when me and Jonny kissed, there wasn't a spark. That was just a part of the ruse for Eleanor." Monica assured him.
"Monica? It's fine. I get it." Eric said.
Eric and Monica gently holds each other's hands and she gently leans her head on his right shoulder. And he gently leans his head on hers.
