Skeleton Boy

Chapter Five: This Prayer For You

-VIOLET'S POV-

A month or two later I was released from the hospital. My mom took me to get my hair dyed red and black, cut with layers and bangs, she also took me to get my lip pierced (snake bites) and my nose pierced. After that she had to go back to work. She did this to try and make me happy but it doesn't help..

Why couldn't I have just died. My mom left the mail on the table, as usual. I sift through it and I see an envelope on it with my name. There's no name for from whom it was sent but there is an address from L.A. on it. I know no one in L.A., I'm tempted to just throw this away, but I'm also curious.. I put it in my room and decide that maybe I'll read it later.

I go into the bathroom and decide I should probably shower. In 30 minutes I get out of the shower, do my hair, and get dressed. My outfit is a white tank top, black short shorts, my lace up combat boots, a black beanie, and sunglasses. After that I do my makeup. I decided it was time to go get outside instead of locking myself up in my room.

But just as I'm about to leave, I remember the letter. Maybe I should just read it when I get back.. Or maybe not. I walk back into my room and open it. There was a silver chain with a ring on it and a letter, I set it aside and read the letter.

My Dear Violet Monica Winters,
I'm so sorry for all the pain I've caused you. It's been so long, but I haven't been with anyone else. I miss you so much, I'm sorry I didn't get around to writing this sooner. I'd keep putting it off, figuring you hate me, thinking that you probably don't even care anymore. I know that's not really an excuse. I'm hoping you'll wait for me, I'll wait for you. You haven't left my mind since I left. I was so stupid for leaving you like that, I just couldn't bring myself to say goodbye. I know your mom won't let you leave until your at least 17 or 18, because you're only 16 right now, and that's even if you want to come here to be with me. But if you do, I won't be with any other girl (I won't, even if you don't..) and I'll wait for you until we can be together again. If you must know why I left, it was to start my music career, I know it's stupid but I'm sorry, I want to help people. I've written multiple songs for you. I'm the singer in a band I made that's called Black Veil Brides. I've made multiple songs for you, and if you look us up I'm sure you can just guess which ones are for you.. You mean so much to me. I've left my number on the back of the paper in case you want to talk or if you decide you want to be with me.
    Love,
          Andrew Dennis Biersack

(P.s.
There's a ring that I wanted to give you on a chain in the envelope)

I sigh and let a tear or two escape. I'll deal with this later. I don't even know if I want to be with him, he hurt me so much. I slip the necklace around my neck to remember him. I go outside. I walk to the mall, taking the long way. Some tall guy walks over to me. He had brown eyes and dark brown long hair.

"hey babe, you're looking good. you think I could get your number?" He said.

"Hm, it depends. How many girls have you used that same lame ass line on?" I say laughing.

"Actually none, you're the only cute girl I've seen in this town. My names Ashley, but you can call me Ash." He replies.

"Fine. My name is Violet. You can call me Vi." I say. He hands me his phone and I put in my number, making a contact.

"Thanks, babe." He says cutely. I ignore the fact that he called me babe. Only one person can call me that... I wasn't even half way to the mall yet and I decided I didn't want to be surrounded by people.

"I'm going to go home though, so, uh.. I'll talk to you later I guess.." I say awkwardly.

"Oh okay, can I come over..?" He asks with puppy dog eyes.

"I guess.. " I say.

"Okay." He says.

We walk back to my house and sit in the kitchen drinking water for a little while at first.

"You have a really nice house." He says.

"Thanks." I reply. We go and sit in my room after we're done with our water. He sits on the couch I have in my room and I just sit on my bed. The TV is on MTV, music is playing quietly. He was absorbed in whatever old live performance was on. I pull out my laptop and look up Andy's band. I click on a song and put in my earbuds. The two songs I realized that were for me are called Skeleton Boy/I Was Wrong and the other was called This Prayer For You. I found myself on the verge of tears. I wanted to cry so bad but not in front of ash, I couldn't. I put the letter and the computer down.

"I'll be right back." I say to Ash. I'm sure he heard the tone in my voice and realized something was wrong. I went into the bathroom and cried.

-ASHLEY'S POV-

I could tell Violet was upset over something. She had sounded as if she was about to cry. Her laptop was open and there was a letter on the bed. I decided I was going to snoop. If she was crying it might be a little while. I look at her computer and listen to a song she had up, It was called Skeleton Boy/I Was Wrong, however I didn't pay attention to the name of the artist and the video was quite grainy, he seemed to be pretty good looking. The sound quality wasn't the best but you could hear most of what he was saying.

I pick up the letter and read it. So, this guy, he likes her, and wrote this song, but he left her, she probably doesn't even like him anymore but she's obviously not over him. It's a shame I'll be leaving to L.A. tonight.

-VIOLETS POV-

I got out of the bathroom and sat back on my bed. I sigh and look at Ash.

"So you like me?" I ask.

"Yes, but I'm moving out to a big city soon so I can become a guitarist." He says. "We could have a long distance relationship.. I know we just met, but I really like you.." He says.

"Okay.. When are you leaving?" I ask.

"Tonight.." He says.

"Oh okay.." I say. He kisses me.

"I should probably get going though so I can pack. Bye, I love you." He says getting up and hugging me.

"Love you too." I say hesitantly. I didn't feel the same.

And with that he left. We talked over the Internet and texted. A year passed. Ash told me about how he always talked about me to the singer of the band he joined, how he bragged about me.

-2009-

The singer said that he had a beauty that he was waiting for to come to L.A. as well. Ash always told me how that when I moved down there me and the singers girlfriend would be great friends. I told my mom that I had been dating ash and that he had left and went to L.A., she supported me and took a liking to him even though she's never talked to him in real life.
