Tate and Violet- Forever Yours

Chapter 42- Violet

Violet 

I look around at the sitting room and I'm surrounded by people who I care about, my dad, my half brother, his sweet boyfriend and  the  love of my life. 

It wouldn't be fair  to say I was  shocked when Michael told me he  was gay. I was so happy for him because  he had found someone to care about.   Michael and I had grown to become great friends after I had found out he was my brother I couldn't really ignore him. 

Tate often asks me how I took the news about Michael being his son so well and I guess it was because it wasn't  Michael's fault he was  born. He  was just a victim too the situation  and  he is the way he is now  due to the way he was brought up by Constance.  

It must have been hard for him as a kid knowing he had this whole other family that never cared for him . I'm glad he has found  happiness now though and  finally  he can be  loved by his family. 

Tate is amazing though organising this whole  party just to cheer me up. I felt  his warm hand wrapped around mine as I gently squeezed it. 

"Are you alright Vi"

He looked  down at  me  caringly his  curly dirty  blond hair falling over his  eyes. 

"Just thinking about what an amazing boyfriend I have"

He  wraps his arm around my waist and an old Morrissey song starts playing . 

"Care  to dance Violet? "  

Before I have a chance to respond Tate grabs my  hand and drags me to the  centre of the room  which has  been turned into a makeshift dance floor. We swaying to the beat of the music leaning  my head on his shoulder I see Travis and Micheal  talking in the corner  of the room.  Travis is laughing and  Michael has turned bright red .  I smile as we turn and I see dad smiling at me  and Tate.  He gives me a small wave and I smile back at him as Tate and I continue to dance. 

The hours  melt away but we continue dancing.  The world  could end right now  and  still ,I would be oblivious  as  long as it will  always be me and  Tate then I will be  happy.  

He put  so  much effort into organising this event today and I love  him even more for it. Mum may not approve  of my  decisions but I'm surrounded by people who  care about me and that's all I have ever really needed.  

I may  look the same as I always have, the same face that is immortal to  the wrath of ageing, the face of youth and innocence but I have aged. My  soul has  warped and aged as the years have passed I have come to realise that now.No longer am I the scared little girl that I used to be I have grown into something more than that.

 I may still look like the old me but I have matured, now inside of living in the past  I have learnt to face my demons and move on.  I  am not  a little kid  anymore  I am an adult and now  I am finally acting like one. People had  always treated me like  a  child even though I was in fact  37 years old and I realise that it wasn't  because I looked  like a child.  I acted like one and because of that I was treated and spoken to like a child. 

I have grown so much these  past few  months .  I am not perfect though I  am anything but fucking perfect but we are humans and we all have our faults. The main thing is I can live or put up with them in my afterlife.  I have found someone who loves  me faults and all. I can genuinely say I love Tate he is my soul mate yes we have faced obstacles but that has only made us stronger.  

"Violet you have been awfully quiet"

I look up at Tate's face, a face that I could remember like the back of my hand. 

"I really fucking love you"

He smiled his  cute dimples  showing. 

"I really fucking love you too"

He was  leaning this face  closer to mine  and I couldn't help looking at his lips as my head leant toward his. 

Someone coughed reminding me that sadly it was not just Tate and I in the room. We pulled  away from each other.  

"Sis please keep it PG in front of me"

I looked at Michael  who looked as if  he was about to break down with laughter.  

That's it I thought as I started running towards him. 

He ran around the room with me hot on his heels as everyone else seemed to be having the time of their lives. 

The rest of the evening was continued in a similar way. We  were all laughing, telling jokes and dancing, It was honestly one of the best parties I had ever been to.  This wasn't just any old party though as this was a party with my family that was organised by my soul  mate.  

Shit, when did I turn into such a soppy bitch. 

"I know you're upset about earlier but we will have plenty of time to be alone later."

He whispered into my ear before grabbing my  hand  again and diving back into  a conversation with Travis  about something or another. 

And in this moment I am truly happy.
