'DON'T YOU DIE ON ME, VIOLET!' The thought rushed out of Tates head faster than it came in. Instantly he was in tears. Memories of that horrible night in a haunting bathroom came flooding. Trying to save the life of the one person who kept him feeling alive even though he was dead, and failing, was something not even Tate could live with. As he cried he could only say her name over and over. "V-v-violet..." It came out as a soft whisper between sobs. Even though they could be together on this side, he wanted her to be happy. He wanted to live her life and marry the man of her dreams, and have a proper family. All of the things Tate couldn't have, he had wished upon her. She was the only reason he could feel alive. And now she was gone. She wouldn't be able to feel anymore, and Tate had wanted anything but that pain, or lack thereof, for her. Would she still love him over here? Or would she resent him for not keeping her alive? Tate had no clue. All he could do was sob himself into an emotional stupor. "I love you, Violet." He whispered into her pillow. As his sobs slowly died down, Tate sat up on violets bed and stared around the room. The sobs were no longer audible, yet the tears would not stop pouring from his eyes. Tate glanced over the blackboard on her wall. The word "TAINT" was still scrawled across it, now a permanent reminder of how pure the life of Violet was, and how he had failed to save her from the taint of death. From the corner of his eye, he saw movement. As he turned his head, he saw her. Standing, in the doorway, was Violet. A shy Addie peeked her head out from behind her. "Hi, Tate." She said as she slid from view again. Violet extended her hand, and Tate took it. As she pulled him close to her, she cupped his face in both hands and used her thumbs to clear his eyes. She pulled him close and their lips met. It was euphoric. Tears streamed down both of their faces, this time, they were filled with relief. She pulled away and kept one hand on his cheek while the other rested on his chest. "I love you, Tate. Don't forget that." She smiled. "I love you too, Violet. More than anything." With a final sniff, Tate had finished crying. Violet laced her fingers through his and Addie reappeared to grasp ahold of his free hand. The only two people he ever truly loved were with him, now. This time, it was forever.
