Love is Insane (AHS Fanfic)

Clarity

Clem's POV

All the shit that's going on doesn't feel real. It all feels like a dream. No not a dream, a freaking nightmare that I can't wake up from. I can't escape because this all reality. I can't escape from Tate because he's always there, I can't escape from the fact that my dad killed himself, and I can't escape from those girls that bully me at school. They found my phone number and my email somewhere, and they won't stop harassing me. So they can still bully me even though I'm not going to school. They call me a whore and say that I'm fat and I'm ugly. I never told my mom because she wouldn't do anything about it and neither would the school. The only person I told was Tate, but he's dead and I don't think that I can trust him anymore. He lied to me and what if he did kill all of those people? What if all of that is true? What if the things that Hayden is telling me is true? 

I have been sleeping a lot during the day and I can't sleep at night. I'm scared of almost everything and I never leave my room. I'm scared to leave my room because I'm afraid of Tate now. Even though I know Tate isn't right next to me or even in the room with me, I can still sense his presence. He never leaves. I'm starting to worry about my mom because she never came to check up on me. For the first time in five days I left my room to see my mom. I hope she's okay because she's really all I have left anymore. I unlocked my door and slowly cracked it open. Tate was sitting on the floor beside my door.

"Clem, I'm sor-," Tate said.

"Stay away from me!" I snapped at him and I pushed him away.

I ran down the hall to my mom's bedroom. I lightly knocked on the door. No one answered. I gently twisted the door knob and saw something that I probably wasn't supposed to see. Some stranger was screwing my mom.

"Who the hell is this?" I asked infuriated

"Honey, I can exp-," my mom said.

"There's nothing to explain."

"I'm so sorry."

"No you're not. You're not that good an actress!"

I stormed out of the room and slammed the door shut. I was so mad at her. I don't know if she was cheating on daddy or if she got a boyfriend and didn't tell me.

"Tate, where's that suicide note?!" I screamed with anger.

"I don't know," he replied.

"Well you're no help at all!"

I stomped into my room and searched for that note. To my surprise, it was just lying on the floor. I snatched it off the floor. I plopped onto my bed and read the note. Everything became so clear and I hated my mom even more. Tears poured out of my eyes because my mom cheated on him. Why would she do that? That's just so wrong. My dad also knew. He knew that she was a piece of shit. Why didn't he do anything about that? He said in the note he stayed in his room with the door locked and only talked at dinner because of her.

"I'm sorry dad. I'm so sorry," I said to him as if he could hear me.

Tate walked in the room and he looked upset too.

"Seeing you sad makes me sad, but if you want me to go away just tell me," Tate said as his eyes began to water.

"I just don't know if I can trust you anymore. You're dead and you didn't even tell me. Why?" I asked.

"'Cause I didn't want you to find out. When Violet found out that I was dead, she didn't take it to well." 

"How did she react?"

"I'm gonna tell you something that you can't tell anybody, okay. Just listen to me."

"Okay, come here."

 Tate climbed onto my bed with me and sat right beside me. He held my hands as he spoke.

"All the people that you've been seeing, they aren't real," Tate said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked as a I began to cry even harder.

"Violet, Hayden, Moira, me, we're all ghosts."

"What?"

"Violet, Hayden, Moira, me, and anyone else that you see in the house is dead."

"Is my mom and I dead?" 

"No you're alive and I'll protect from anyone in the house that tries to hurt you. I'm not gonna let you die."

"You promise?"

"I swear. I wouldn't let anybody or anything hurt you."

"Okay. Can you stay here for the night?"

"I'll be here forever."

He laid down right next to me and wrapped his arms around me. We both went to sleep, but I wish we went to sleep forever.

(Thank you so much for reading I really hope that you liked it. I will try my hardest to update this as much as possible, but for the next 2 weeks I might not update at all because I have prep week for nationals and nationals for dance. After that I will be able to update this regularly. As a little Easter egg  I added a quote from Coven, season 3 of AHS. Can you find it? Comment the answer and vote please!)
