Chapter Seven- Lies be Told

Chapter Seven- Lies be Told

“You. said. Jake.” Bronte repeated firmly.

Violet struggled immensely with trying to conjure up an explanation.

“No................no.. I....Didn’t?”

Brilliant. Good one Violet. That wasn’t suspicious at ALL!

“Yes you did! I heard you!”

Good an opportunity to redeem myself.

“Noo... No i’m pretty sure i didn’t!”

For Christ’s sake! 

Violet desperately tried to think of a way to fill the hole she was digging for herself.

“Violet? Who were you talking to?”

“No-one!”

At the rate she was going Violet was royally screwed.

“VIOLET! Who. were. you. talking to!?”

“My-er.. my”    friend! Say FRIEND!      “... Friend” she finished

“Where is he then?”

“I’m not sure.....” Violet trailed off, sure she could hear something splashing..

“What is he wearing in case i see him?” 

Is my sister being nice or is she already on to me?

“He’s wearing a.. red... eerr..” dress “shirt”

Violet waited nervously for her sister’s response.

“Alright then.” Came her final answer.

“Thank-god!”

“What was that?”

Crap did i say that out loud?

* * * *

“Jake! JAKE!!” Violet made sure her sister was well out of earshot, down the hallway, before shouting almost at the top of her lungs.

“JAAAAAAAKE!”

In a flash, a blonde head shot up out of the water, scaring Violet half to death and causing her to almost fall in to the pool.

“Shut up or you’ll get us busted!” Jake spat.

“Wha-What.. Where you down their the whole time? she bellowed half out of breath.

“Don’t be stupid!” Jake then added... “I can’t hold my breath that long!” -just to clarify why he called her stupid. 

Da!

“Well? Where were you?”

Jake took a breath. 

“I was in the pool..” he sounded dizzy and full of water. “I just popped my head up a teensy bit every now and then to breathe.”

“Oh....” Violet supposed that was plausible. 

“How’d you get under so fast when you saw my sister?”

Jake looked a little embarrassed. 

“Well... Well i was already in the pool..”

Jake blushed when he admitted to having quickly jumped in to the pool while Violet was checking if the coast was clear. He just really wanted an excuse to take off that hideous dress. 

Violet slapped a hand to her forehead. 

“Get out.”

* * * *

“Can i see you again?” Jake looked genuinely hopeful.... but he had to be joking. Right?

“Are you kidding? Your’e lucky we weren’t killed!” Violet said, aggravated.

“Your’e saying that like it was my fault!”

“It was your ff-” Violet stopped mid sentence when she remembered it was sort of.. possibly.. just a little bit all her fault.

Sighing she pushed his shoulders back. 

“Go.”

Jake was irritated. This ‘physco’ had.. had kidnapped him and tied him up in her cellar so she could kiss him and now that he had finally admitted to himself that he kinda sorta..l-liked....her, she wanted him to go and never come back!

Violet looked up in to Jake’s powder blue eyes. They were warm and friendly. she stroked his hair. She had to stand on her toes just to reach his platinum blonde mane. It was still dripping wet and smelt like chlorine. His chest was bare after removing the red dress. if it could even be called  a dress. His torso was fit and tanned with smooth sculpted abs. The 17 year old “Red” fought back tears. It was just so unfair. She wanted to keep him.

Violet made herself pull her hand away.

“I’m sorry it can’t end differently” she whispered so quietly it could have been inside her head. But Violet knew he had heard her. Because tears pricked his eyes as well.
