AHS Murder House Fanfic

Chp.7-Thanks Again

POV:Violet (Finally ik)
It was the day after those psychopaths broke into our house and tried to recreate a famous L.A. murder on my mom and I. The whole situation just shocked me. I wasn't scared. The way I saw it I shouldn't reminisce on things of past , I should only worry about the future.
I was sitting in the kitchen while my parents were talking to the detectives about what happened last night. When I saw the detectives stand up to leave I walked into the dining room where they were sitting. My dad and brother were gone when this all happened , so they didn't know what all had happened here. My dad was in Boston seeing an "old patient" , but I could see right through him and I could tell he went to bang his god damn student. And my brother went to a community college here so he was never home much.
Anyway when I walked into the room my dad stood up and walked over to me then said to me,"Violet, your mom told me that you told her that Tate helped you escape. Is that true?"
"Yeah, thanks again for not dragging him into all of that,"I told them.
He looked back at my mom then to me and asked,"What was he doing in the house?"
I shrugged,"How should I know?"
"Violet,"he said with a stern voice.
"What you think I let him in? I don't know why Tate was here , but I'm glad he was ; you weren't,"I told him then walked to the other side of the dining room. Before I left the room I looked over at my mom and said,"You were really brave mom." She looked up and gave me an assuring smile then I left.

Later that day I went outside to smoke and work on some homework. I was only out there about fifteen minutes when I heard footsteps behind me. "Shit" I thought then quickly put out the cigarette on the bricks in front of me.
My brother emerged from the corner and said,"Relax I'm not here to bust you."
"Why not?" I asked him. He was always looking for a way to rat me out.
"What you guys went through last night..."
I started before he could finish,"Seriously dude I'm fine.It'll make a great college essay one day."
He grinned then told me,"Look if you ever want someone to talk to I'm always here for you."
I just rolled my eyes then told him,"Ok fine , now get lost."

He laughed then left. Then when he left Tate came out from where he was hiding behind the brick wall. Then I pulled another cigarette out from my bag and he pulled out a lighter and lit it for me.
"Tate can I ask you something?"
He looked up and smiled,"Of course."
"Why were you in the house last night?"I had to ask him I was wandering all day.
"Look the truth is...I missed you Vi. I missed hanging out and talking to you. I like you,"he explained to me while his cheeks turned bright red.
I blushed too then all the flaws I saw in Tate all melted away in that moment. I finally had someone I cared about and who cared about me more than I cared about myself. I kissed him then said,"I like you too Tate."
