AHS Tate & Violet Fanfiction

50 Years

I wake up from my trance, and light seeps through the blinds and onto my bed and carpet. Dead people don't get to sleep, we just fall into a void of nothing, and after 50 years the void of nothing has become full of thoughts, thoughts about Tate, and how he's coping after these 50 years. Every day it's torture, and we're stuck here for eternity. Forced to live this shitty life. I do see Tate once in a while though, i mean this house isn't that big, he watches me sometimes, he thinks i don't know, but i do. I stand in-front of the mirror naked more often to see what his reaction is, but it's always the same, that expressionless face, his eyes coated with tears and his hands clenched into fists.

I don't know either to forgive him or to ignore him for another 50 years. But what i do know is that i love him, i love him with all of my heart, and it aches to the point of tears, and i can't stop it. It's been hard just 'living' in this house, let alone having to ignore Tate for 50 years.

************************

I sit up off of my bed and go to the bathroom, where it all started, where i first talked to Tate. I rummage through my dads razors and find the one i used when i met Tate, it has dried blood stained on the edges. I roll my sleeve up and drag the razor across my wrist, the calm feeling rushes through my body before being greeted by Tate.

"You promised me Violet." He stands at the door, just like he did the first time. I ignore his words and do it again and again and again until Tate runs up to me and wraps me in his arms, tears rolling down both of our faces. I push him away and he slams into the wall.

"Go away Tate." I scream.

"No! You have tortured me for 50 whole years Violet! You're all i want."

"Tate, no! After what you did to my mum. You raped and murdered her! And now she's stuck here just like all of us!"

"I said I'm sorry! I really am sorry Violet. Please, Please forgive me, Violet."

"No. Go away Tate!" He disappears and I'm left alone, just like everyone else here, left alone to think, just think.

When I'm not listening to Nirvana in my room, alone, i think about what would have happened if i never met Tate, if my father never cheated on my mum, if i hadn't have died. I think that i would be living somewhere in Florida with my parents, happy. I might have even found a school where i wasn't bullied, i might have found someone who loved me. But no, he had to take that all away from me!

I run down stairs into the kitchen where my mum, Vivian is making food.

"Why do you make food if we don't need to eat?" I sit down on the stool next to my mum.

"I don't know, it's just a habit i guess." I look out of the window and see Tate in the gazebo, crying, that's all he has been doing for 50 years, is crying.

"He's been doing that all day." She looks up and into the garden where he is sitting."Ugh, i'd love for you to forgive him so he's shut up."

"You know why I'm not forgiving him. Because of what he did to you."

"It has been 50 years Violet, i think he's had enough."

"I guess you're right about that. But how, how do i forgive him for all he's done to us?"

"I don't know, just make sure you talk to your dad about it first."

"Ugh." I let out a big sigh before going back into my room.

After 50 years you would have thought i knew i do entertain myself by now, but i don't, i just lay on my bed and look up at the ceiling and wait for something out of the ordinary to happen, but nothing ever does. I hear a sudden bang at the door and look up, its Haiden, the bitch who ruined my family.

"Why are you here?" I ask

"I'm sick and tired of that kid, why don't you just forgive him already?" She rests her body on the door frame.

"I will forgive him, I just don't know how." I look back up to the ceiling.

"Well, just hurry up and get it done and over with before I lose my mind." He flings her body upright and closes my door. Well at least she has manners.

***************************

I walk downstairs to my dad's office, he's sitting on a leather sofa fiddling with his tape recorder.

"I need to talk to you." I stand in the doorway waiting for a response.

"About what?" He stand up making me alert.

"About me forgiving Tate." I walk toward the sofa where he is standing and sit down. "I'm going to forgive him, no matter what you say."

"Well, I know I can't stop you, but I will warn you about him, it will always happen." He sits down on the chair in front of me.

"What will happen"

"You will always fight, no doubt about that."

"Ok, well. I'm going to go now." I stand up and walk out the door.

*******************************************

I walk down to the dark, dank basement where we always used to go and yell out for Tate.

"Tate? Are you down here Tate?!" I stand at the bottom of the stairs and wait for him to appear.I wait 10 whole seconds until Tate comes out of no where.

"Why are you here, Violet?" He walks towards me.

"I just wanted to talk to you, can we please talk in my room?"

"Sure" I follows me upstairs to my room.

******************************

We both walk into my room and i shut the door behind us.

"So.." He says

"I want to say sorry" I sit on my bed.

"For what? Are you forgiving me?" He looks at me while happiness plastered on his face.

"Yes, and i'm sorry because i made you wait for so long."

"It's ok."

"But it will take a while for me to fully feel comfortable with it."

"How long?"

"I don't really know, Tate. Maybe a few days, i don't know." I bring him in for a hug, Tate trys to kiss me but i stop him by pulling my body away from him and standing up.

"I-I'm sorry Tate."

"It's ok, i waited 50 years, and i can wait a few more days."

"Can i have another hug?" I ask him, with a thick coat of tears around my eyes. He walks up to me and we hug for what felt like 10 minutes but was only 2.

"I love you" He says.

"I love you too." I hesitate with every word. I do love him but it's just been so hard these 50 years.
