lacuna (Scott Reed)

kick your ass

3rd person

Clay now stood in front of Violet along with Sheri and Scott.

"Okay V, this is going to connect to the inside of your shirt so we can hear everything that goes on. And if anything goes wrong all three of us will hear and come for you" Clay told the pretty girl as he began connecting a wire under her shirt and hooking it on so no one would hear.

"Just stay safe okay? If anything and like anything starts feeling weird you need to get away from there or give us some type of signal and i'll be there. They could hurt you, and where going to try and prevent that" Sheri told her best friend with worried eyes as she held her tightly. Once the two let go Violet looked over toward Scott who was giving her a uneasy look.

"I'm not gonna be far. And I really don't like this idea but if you need me, i'll kill them... they can't hurt you under my watch. And if your not carful, i'll kick your ass" Scott joked with her slightly as he brushed a few stray hairs out of her face and gave her a quick hand squeeze.

"Just try talking to them about anything to do with the trial or if anything comes up about to pictures ask as many subtle questions as you can. Maybe bring up about while Bryce was in jail" Clay told her as he latched onto her shoulder giving them a tight squeeze, she nodded and with that walking off toward to Walker house hold.

Bryce opened the door with a grin and confused look on his face.

"Woah, Violet Padilla. What are you doing here?" Bryce said in a monologue voice with a small smile.

Violet put on a bright smile, hoping the uneasy feeling would leave, "Just wanted to see if you wanted to catch up? didn't really get a chance when I got back"

"Yeah sure. Come on it" and with that the blonde boy opened his door wider allowing the small girl to walk it.

"So how you been? I heard you where in North Carolina or some shit like that? You like it?" he asked her as he raised a eyebrow as the two sat down in the living room. One teen in the chair, the other on the couch.

"Yeah definitely. It was crazy beautiful, the sunsets and stuff. But what about you? Stuck in Liberty for all this time or did you travel around?" Violet asked him, trying to see if he'd talk about his time in jail.

"I stayed around here mostly, I was off in a cell for three months though" Bryce sighed and Violet gave him a fake sympathetic look.

"Shit, yeah I heard about that. You okay? I know it was probably hard" Violet said as she now stood up and walked over to pictures that hung on the wall.

"Definitely. What are you looking at?" Bryce quickly changed the subject as he walked over to stand behind her. Violet would have felt uncomfortable if she wasn't in shock at the photos.

"You still have all those pictures of us from when we where little? Even with Justin?" Violet asked as she looked at pictures of herself, Bryce, and Justin when they where younger.

"Well of course I do V. Those where the best years of my life" Bryce grinned at the pictures as they walked over to another wall of freshman year.

"God, Freshman year" Bryce chuckled as the two looked over the wall of pictures from there first year in high school.

"Shit, I remember this one. First baseball game, when we met Monty. When I became caption of the cheer team" Violet laughed, not realizing her eyes where starting to get a bit watery.

"Where you met Jeff too." Bryce stated, causing Violets smile to fall as she looked at the photo of herself and Jeff Atkins; cuddled up on the bleachers as they watch a baseball game go on.  Violet remember the moment instantly.

flashback
Violet Padilla cheered on the field as she watched Montgomery De La Cruz run to second base. But her eyes where now casted on Jeff Atkins who sat in the bleachers. She excused herself from the girls as they continued to goof around and cheer the boys on.

"Why are you over here actin. like Romeo, When you should be on the field acting like Babe Ruth?" Violet asked with a small smirk as she plopped down next to her fello boyfriend.

"Gotta let the others play sometimes. Can't take all the action" He smiled at her before throwing his large letterman jacket around her shoulders, "And what are you doing over here V? Should you be captaining your squad?"

"I total should but I caught a glance at a very attractive baseball player sitting all alone" She grinned at him with a wide smile.

"Ohh, is they so? Well I was actual enjoying watching my beautiful girlfriend cheer on my baseball team" He now wrapped a arm around her as she laughed.

"I love you with ever bone in my body Violet Grace Padilla/Atkins" He now looked over at her with a grin as he realized he was going to marry this girl.

"And I will always love you Jeff Atkins" with that the two's lips connected as sparks flew around.

end of flashback

"Here. You keep this one" Bryce smiled as he handed over the photo to Violet. She glanced at him with tears in her eyes but they didn't fall, not yet.

"Are you sure?" She asked; voice cracking. Bryce nodded as he patted her shoulder.

"I should head home. Dad will beat my ass if i'm not home in time" Violet fake laughed, even though she was incredibly serious.

"Your dad still hit on you V?" Bryce asked seriously as he opened the door for her.

"Like always" She said and then walked out the door with a small wave. Once she finally turned away from the Walker household, her tears feel. They where like a waterfall as she clung to the picture frame, looking down at it ever now and then. She started up her motorcycle and headed home, forgetting that Clay Jenson, Sheri Holland, and Scott Reed heard it all
