Previously on a promise

"Hello. I'm Violet. I'm friend of Gilbert's." said Violet and my eyes widen.

"So, what did I miss?" asked Brian as he walked up to us.

"Well, let's just say, the tea started to boil." said Cole with wide eyes.

I simply stared at her.....

Anne's POV

"Friend?" I asked incredulously.

"Well....." said Violet and I turned around.

"Yeah we are capable of seeing the well, now tell us." said Brian and Cole rolled his eyes.

"What he said." I said as I crossed my arms.

"We did go out for a bit."

"How much is a bit?" asked Cole with furrowed eyebrows.

"Three years..."

"That's a little?" I asked incredulously.

"Minus 2 years and eleven months." finished Violet and Jerry laughed.

"So a month?" asked Jerry.

"When did you show up?" asked Brian with a confused expression on his face.

"A bit less."

"Count it as a favour to you Brian. You have the luck to be in the same place as me." said Jerry as he pointed at himself.

I simply rolled my eyes at him.

"So a week?" asked Cole with a smirk.

"Three days." said Violet.

"So... You remained friends." stated Ruby.

"When did she show up?" I asked Jerry.

"Well... Kind of." said Violet.

"We're a package deal." said Jerry as he pointed at himself and Ruby.

"What do you mean kind of?" asked Ruby.

"We never talked after the break up and I wanted to come and see how he is." said Violet.

"She is evil..." I heard Ruby mumbled.

"What do you mean she is evil?" asked Jerry.

"...Do you know Amanda?" asked Ruby with an eye roll.

"I adore her, she is precious." clapped Violet with a smirk.

"Amanda?" asked Brian with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes... Amanda A... I mean yeah."

"What's her last name?" asked Cole as he saw her struggle to speak.

"I'm not sure."

"It starts with an 'A'." said Jerry thoughtfully.

"Andrews?" I asked confused.

"I would've known." chuckled Brian and I nodded in agreement.

"Any other person that their last name starts with an 'A'?" asked Cole.

"I can't think of one." said Jerry thoughtfully.

"STOP." yelled Violet.

Which made me almost trip in my own two feet.
