episode eleven.

—Okay, hi there. I just started this episode and realized that Ben says Vivien's been in there for weeks. Doesn't give a specific number, but there are like four to six weeks in a month, and as previously stated, could have been a few months. That's what the wikia page on Vivien Harmon said, at least. I don't know, but I've informed you all before that the timeline is screwy, and I just... I'm a lazy shit, alright? I'm sorry if it bothers you, once I noticed this, it bothered me too, and now I just don't know. But I'm lazy. Hope you can overlook this timeline error and still enjoy the story.<3—

Ben was dragging Rosaline and Violet down the staircase, who were both struggling. Mainly because Violet couldn't leave, but Rosaline still could. They were both trying to plead the same case. That they didn't feel well, that Rosaline needed to lay down. Violet was saying it wasn't good for Rosaline to leave in such a state, and Ben wasn't having any of it.

"Dad, I'm not a dog. I told you, I don't feel well. Just leave me here." Rosaline pleaded, tugging at Ben's grip on her arm.

"I don't trust either of you anymore. And I don't trust Tate." Ben said, not stopping as he pulled the two girls down the stairwell.

"Tate? We haven't seen him in weeks!" Violet cried out, trying to tug her arm away.

"No more, girls! Your mom's coming home, and you two are coming with me to get her." Ben said in a strict tone, tugging them out through the front door.

"Dad, please, I don't feel well." Violet begged, looking over at her sister.

Rosaline's eyes were wide and she had tears gathering in them as their father pulled them across the front yard to the car.

"Violet." She started, her voice wavering. "Violet, Violet!" She yelled, both of them knowing what was coming. Violet wasn't going to make it off of the property, and Rosaline hadn't left the house in so long that none of them knew what would happen if she did. She had never gotten the terrible morning sickness or the spotting that Vivien had when she left, but she was still nervous because she knew the child would end up being tied to the house in some form.

"Rose, Rosie, it's going to be okay, I promise. I promise, it'll be okay." Violet said quickly, both of them now crying.

"Both of you can lay down in the car. And when we get home, pack up your things. We're leaving this house for good." Ben stated firmly.

"What?" Both of the girls asked, looking at each other.

"You guys are back together?" Violet asked incredulously.

"I don't know yet. Your mom wants to go to Aunt Jo's so both of you can give birth there, and I'm supporting it." Ben stated, releasing their arms once they were at the car.

"No, you don't wanna do this." Rose pleaded, looking at their father with puffy eyes.

"Girls, your mother's been locked up in a psych ward for weeks. I won't let her stay there for another minute. Now are you two gonna get in the car, or do I have to make you?" Ben asked harshly, to which both of his children crossed their arms over their chest. "My god, what is wrong with you two? Get in the car. Your mother wants to see you!" Ben yelled, grabbing Rose's upper arm and pulling toward the car.

Rosaline screamed and Violet lunged forward, pulling his hand away from her roughly, pushing their father back.

"What is wrong with you!? That's your pregnant daughter, you're forcing into the car, shithead!" Violet yelled, making Ben take a step back and look at Rosaline as she refused to look at him and climbed into the backseat of the car, followed by Violet, who slammed the door shut. Ben then got into the driver's seat and closed the door as Rosaline buckled her seat belt and looked at her sister, grabbing her hand.
