Darkest Secrets // Tate and Violet

[5]

Tate's POV
I'm in love with her laugh. Its so adorable. I know, i haven't even known her for more than 2 days, but with the time that i had, which was practically none, i still managed to fall for her laugh. (not her in general, just her laugh)

Once she played 'Come As You Are' by Nirvana she came and sat next to me.

After about 10 minutes of playing 21 questions, which violet got the hang of very quickly,i learned some things i didn't know before, obviously.

I learned that her favorite color was a really dark shade of purple, her favorite food was pancakes, she loved the same kind of music i did, introducing me to some other band that iv'e never heard of. I learned that violet had a love for drawing, which she had offered to show me some of her sketches, which were amazing.

"what are we on now?" violet asked me while she closed her sketch book, putting it back under her bed where she had it before she had taken it out.
" i think this next one will be nine." i told her after i went over the things we talked about before this in my head.

"Okay you're turn to be asked." she told me grinning.
"hmm...Oh i got one" she said pointing at me after a lightbulb popped above her head. (not literally)
"okay hit me." I said rubbing my hands together jokingly.

"why'd you move here?" she asked. my smile dropped. Seriously, of all questions this one. Why did she have to fucking ask me how i moved here. Couldn't it be if i had a dog or some shit. Fuck. I didn't want to tell her right now, i don't know her well enough to tell her, and i didn't want her to judge me, or go off and tell everyone of the school. I doubt she would tell the school, being the person she is, but you never know, i did what i did, being the person i was.

"Tate?" she asked me, again waving her hand in front of my face, grabbing my attention.
"oh sorry." i said, faking a laugh to not seem to suspicious.

"I space out a lot." i lied, well partially. I space out sometimes.

"oh, its alright." she told me sincerely. Few, she didn't catch me.

"so..... are you going to answer?" she asked impatiently. I quickly thought of something, the first thing that came to my head.

"We had a dog, his name was S-snuggles, and he got h-hit by a uh... truck." i blurted. She started laughing, and i was confused as to why she would be laughing at the story. It obviously would be a sad tragical story, why would someone think that is funny.

"What?" I questioned looking at Violet with wide eyes, my hands trembling.

"You seriously think that i willl believe that shit? You stuttered..twice. And why would you guys move, just because you're 'dog died'?" she used hand quotations while she said 'dog died'.

"he was very important to the family.." i say, trying to convince her. She just laughed louder.
"stop with the bullshit and tell me the real reason you guys moved here." i couldn't tell her, not now , not ever.

"My brother.. His name was Bou. He had this face that was deformed, which was pretty scary, but i didn't mind, because he was like my best friend.People say he died in his sleep.....But thats a lie." i said the last part to myself, but i'm pretty sure she heard.

this wasn't the actual reason we moved.This is one of the things that lead up to the cause of us moving, but not the whole story.

"Wow.." was all she said. I could tell she felt bad about it by the look on her face.
"okay." i clapped my hands together, trying to change the subject and lighten the mood. "You're turn to be asked."

Third person POV'

That when on for about another 15 minutes till they got tired of it, and believed they had learned enough about each other. Violet couldn't get the fact about Tate's brother and how Tate had said it was a lie how Bou had died in his sleep. She was a little nervous, but eager, to find out.

Violet isn't one to rush so she won't force him, but she hopes he will tell her at one point.
Tate on the other hand, was nervous about her finding out about Bou. He didn't want her to ask more questions and have it lead up to the REAL reason he had moved.

The both of them had been on their way down the stairs, staying silent while they though everything through.

"Goodnight Violet, see you at school" Tate waved at Violet.

"Bye-bye Tate." She said smirking while she closed the door.

Once the door closed, she laid her back against it. She let out all the butterflies she never new she had out of her stomach by sighing. She closed her eyes, smiled,

And walked back up the stairs.
Little did she know, Tate had just done the same thing.
