*cursing*
tom's pov
i slowly opened the bedroom door, shocked by what was in front of me. jonah has violet pinned up against the wall and they were kissing each other, violet not resisting at all.
"what the fu-" i yelled but i was cut off by daniel who ran upstairs and came straight to the room. daniel and i both stood there in shock, jonah and violet being completely oblivious of the situation.
i felt butterflies in my stomach, i felt nauseous and like i was about to throw up. violet finally pushed jonah off of her. "what the hell jonah?!" she yelled, slapping his face. he sat on the bed smirking at her.
"what the fuck just happened?" daniel questioned jonah as he made his way over to him. i couldn't believe my eyes. violet walked over to me and grabbed my arm, dragging me out of the room.
"let's go" she mumbled under her breath. we looked annoyed, confused, and kind of scared at the same time.
we got in the car and i started driving. i opened my mouth and was about to say something but violet didn't even let me speak. "i don't wanna talk about it" she said as she turned her head the other way to look out the window. i nodded and left her alone for the rest of the car ride.
i pulled up in front of the house and watched her get out of the car. "thanks for the ride. i'll umm... call you tomorrow" she said and she made her way into her house.
~saturday~
violet's povall i could remember from last night was that i was drunk. jonah was also drunk. and then we made out... apparently. it was totally unintentional and i am not the type of person to just hook up with random guys at parties. especially not jonah. although that's exactly what i told myself before me and corbyn accidentally made out at school, but that's not the point.
i looked over at my nightstand and grabbed my phone. nobody texted me. thank god. i honestly didn't feel like talking to anyone right now but i promised tom i would fall him today, and at some point i would have to explain this whole situation anyway.
i went over to my contacts and decided to call tom. "hey..." i said awkwardly. i didn't know whether i should tell him over the phone or in person. "can you come over?" i asked. he said he'd be here in five minutes so i decided to quickly go brush my hair and put on a normal shirt.
i heard the doorbell ring. "i'll get it!" zach's yell echoed through the house. i heard footsteps coming up the stairs, making their way over to my room. my bedroom door slowly opened, creaking a little bit. tom pokes his head in my room, and came over to my bed where i was sitting. there was a moment of silence between us.
"i'm sorry" i said as i fidgeted with my fingers. i couldn't look him in the eyes.
"sorry for?" he asked back. we both knew what i was talking about. he sat next to me on my bed.
"for what happened last night. i should've never let him..." i managed to get the words out, a tear trickled down my cheek. i grabbed my blanket and pulled it around my body, wrapping myself in it. tom scooted a little closer to me and put his arms around my shoulders, pulling me into a hug.
"it's- it's not your fault. you guys were both wasted." he tried to comfort me but i knew it was all my fault. i could've done something about it but i didn't.
"yeah, but there was still enough brain in my head to know what's going and to stop me from doing it" i sobbed into his chest, tears were now streaming down my face. we sat on my bed with me in his arms, him leaning against the wall. you could hear the occasional sob that i would let out. i really screwed this up.
"listen, why don't we just go somewhere? instead of sitting in your room and crying all day, let's do something to get your mind off of things." he told me as he sat up. i slightly nodded my head and grabbed some clean clothes, then walked into my bathroom. i hurried and got dressed, not wanting to keep tom waiting for too long.
i walked out of the bathroom and grabbed my shoes and my phone. we both walked down the stairs, surprised to see the person standing at the bottom. it was my cousin jack.
i quickly ran over to him and gave him a tight hug. tom was standing awkwardly, close behind me. "oh, i don't think you guys have met before. jack, this is tom. tom, this is my cousin, jack." i introduced them to each other. we chatted for a few minutes and then tom and i finally left. i was honestly relieved that jack was back again. usually when his family came to visit, they stayed at our place in the guest bedrooms.

we walked down the empty sidewalk, the breeze making my hair go all over the place. i thought about all the things that happened in the last few days. the bonds that i've made, people that i've lost. it's crazy. "i-i'm sorry if t-this messed our friendship up or something" i stumbled on my words. i really didn't want to just throw away the only friendship i actually had. i finally felt like i was worth something for once and then it all went to waste.
tom stopped walking, pulling me right in front of him. i looked him straight in the eyes. his beautiful dark brown eyes. "listen violet, i don't know what happened at that party, but you clearly didn't want it to happen. and i would never let something like that ruin our friendship" he replied. he stared at me for a moment, and quickly looked away. i think i have feelings for tom.
