Violet Foras

chapter 22

(If you don't feel like reading a chapter of just violet and rose just hanging out then go ahead and skip to 23 😁)

"Violet get up we are on the news." Rose shook me awake. The sun was hardly shining through the curtains. I looked over at my right and looked at my alarm clock.

It read 6:00am "to early go back to bed." She ignores me and grabs the remote from my nightstand and turns on my small tv on top of my brown dresser. I groan and sat up.

"Wow look at this Tom, what an amazing clip." Said the female reporter.

"Indeed Louise, but how can a person exist in such a world like this?"

"Lets play that one more time for our new viewers." Tom said as he sipped from his coffee.

They showed everything as I remember it. It even had the audio of me yelling at the people. The small clip ends. "Tom can I say something that many people can agree on?" She smiles.

"What is that?" He turns to face her.

"I think we have a towns hero in our hands."

Rose turns the tv off and smiles at me. "Isn't that great they will accept you for who you are now." She hands me my remote. I remain silent for a moment to think then looked at my remote

"I don't want this." I sighed and climbed out of bed and walked to my kitchen to make coffee.

"Why not?" Rose asked me and sat at my round small table.

"To many reasons that you'll never come to understand." I began to make us breakfast.

"What do you mean? Didn't you want this?"

I slam my spatula on the counter next to me. I cracked the counter top. "No Rose I didn't, I rather be unknown like it was hundreds of years ago." I stood there with my head down regret yelling at rose.

"Look I'm sorry Rose." I finally said after I cooled off.

"No its fine, I get it." She smiled at me. "Now how about breakfast?" She asked me while messing with her hair. "Want to just go out to eat or still in the mood to cook?"

'I love how she can blow off the negative.' I thought with a smile. "Yeah lets just pick something up." I put everything away and turned off the coffee pot. I gave her some clothes to wear, we both changed and head out the door.

We went to a coffee shop. We talked about work and whispered about last night. A couple of people noticed me from the news.

"We need to go Rose." I grabbed our food and her hand, we walked out.

"What happen Violet?" I didn't answer I only kept walking. "V?" She calls out again. We went downtown to an empty park and sat on a bench.

I felt myself shake slightly, "I didn't want this." I placed my food between us.

"I'm sorry Violet." She places her hand on my shoulder as she bites from her sandwich. "I wish I could help." She said with a small amount of food in her mouth. I look up at her and laugh.

"Its hard to take you serious like that." We both laughed and enjoyed our peaceful morning together. 'Even with a face stuffed with food she remains gorgeous.' I found myself staring at her so I quickly pick up my muffin. "Let's go to the beach today." Rose looked at me after saying that.

"Why would we do that?" She shrugged at me.

An hour or so has past as we enjoyed the sunlight and the noise of children laughter. Animals making their music, watching people rush to work. Cars driving past us on the small one way. The day was perfect, she was perfect. We finished eating and taking in the warm air. We grabbed our things and went for my apartment. We changed into swimsuits (I gave her my purple two piece.) I wore my black one piece. 'I don't need you seeing my scar.' I thought to myself as we grabbed a few towels and our shoes. We threw on some shorts and t-shirt. Then we went for the beach, when we arrive it was very crowded. We had a great time there, the sound of laughter and enjoyment filled our ears. The sun was high with not a single cloud spotted in the bright blue sky.
