Violet's P.O.V.

The shade provided by the large birch tree was sufficient in keeping the summer's heat to a bearable temperature. I sat there everyday, thinking about Him. But, who is Him? The Quagmire boy who has my heart. Ever since I found the engraved writing in that giant red herring. "DQ+VB".  At the time, I denied seeing it, but we had a lot going on. He runs through my head every quaking hour of my existence. Duncan. 


Quigley's P.O.V.

I looked at my sister. The intense stare she was holding with Klaus showed a strong, mutual love for one another. It's been two months since our life settled down, and throughout that time they had become very close. And I knew that I felt about someone the same feeling that they shared, love. I love her. Violet.


Duncan's

"This is awkward." I whispered to sunny.

Sunny shook her tiny head in agreement of my statement. At that time, Klaus and Isadora stood and walked out of the dining room together. I turned my gaze towards my brother, who is identical to me. He was almost literally drooling. And it was extremely obvious why.

"Quigley, fix your jaw and stop daydreaming about Violet." I said a little louder than intended. Violet blushed and Quigley glared at me. Sunny giggled next to me. Quigley left and headed for our house next door. Sunny exited into the kitchen to clean up her mess from cooking breakfast. Violet slowly turned to look at me, her eyes sparkling.

"So, I guess it's just you and me now." She observed.

"Yup" I murmured. I knew that she loved Quigley, and it broke me. Ever since school, I have had a crush on her.

Back to Violet

I looked at him longingly, wishing desperately that he loved me as I loved him. 

"Hey, will you help me upstairs? My window won't seem to close and it is getting chilly." I asked him.

"Yeah, sure." Duncan replied. I walked to my room with him following close behind. I sat on my bed as he tried to fix the window. After giving it a large shove, he was able to close it. He walked over and sat next to me on my bed, a shutter making its way down my spine. 

"Hey, sorry for what I said to Quigley. It wasn't cool of me to make fun of you for liking each other." He said.

"What? I don't like Quigley, my heart lies in another place." I stated. He looked at me.

"You like someone else? Who?" He inquired. I had no idea how I was going to tell him. I couldn't put how I felt into words, so I didn't. I broke the gap between us and gently kissed him. Suddenly I pulled away. He looked at me confused.

"I'm sorry, that wasn't right of me to force myself on you like that." I turned to stand when his arm reached out and pulled me back onto my bed.

"I feel the same way about you, Violet." My heart skipped a beat. He pulled me close and kissed me passionately. I kissed him back while running my hands through his hair. He continued to kiss me as he pushed me up against a wall. He started to make his way down my neck when there was a knock on the door. I pushed him into my closet, and opened my door to see Izzy standing there. She walked in and started talking. 

"So how is it going with Duncan?" She smirked. 

"You know, he is the most handsome man I have ever seen." I could feel Duncan laughing in my soul. Izzy eventually left. I opened my closet doors and pulled him out of the closet. I kissed him intensely.

Duncan

I looked into her eyes as she kissed me. I picked her up and laid her on her bed. Later, we walked downstairs and found everyone conversing in the living room. I could feel Violet's eyes on me as we talked. She looked so beautiful, and she is mine. Suddenly, I saw Quigley place his hand on her leg as he talked. After he had finished speaking, his hand remained. Violet looked at me as if she did not know what to do.

"Quigley, why is your hand on Violet's thigh?" I asked. He looked at me with a smirk that made me want to pummel him. It was his "I'm going to have her" look. I stood and walked over to them. I lifted my arm.
