Violet POV

Clementine.

She has to remember at some point right?

I know it's Clem. I just... do.

It's probably insane but I would never give up on her. The memories of going up to her treehouse and just spending time together, finding out about our crushes for each other from our friends, and finally asking each other out. Hell, we even got married after we graduated college. I can't and won't let that go to waste.

First, we started off as friends, but that ended quickly. Then, the next time, we dated but she just didn't "feel" it. At one point, I'd say, we were about to get engaged. The most recent time is when I saw her at a coffee shop and I got her number.

Let's try not screwing it up this time.

It's currently 2019 and I really just want to let Clementine know what's going on, but.... I can't. She'll probably think I'm crazy for doing this just because of something I did so long ago, but my love for her is what keeps me going.

We go to the same high school so it shouldn't be difficult to get close to her.

Time went by fast, this time. Once summer break hit, our days consisted of road trips, going to the mall, watching her brother's baseball games (even though I hate baseball with a passion), and sometimes even sleepovers. I took pictures of all of it, as usual. I thought maybe I could pull this off without her knowing until I wanted her to, but that was until she saw it.

The goddamn photos.

Clementine POV

My time with Violet had been so perfect.

Every time I hangout with her I get this feeling in my stomach that I don't get with anyone else. It's like I'm always nervous around her for some reason, even though she's just a friend.

A friend. Just a friend.

Maybe... more?

Aside from my weird feelings about Violet, I get this other weird gutty feeling. This feeling like... I know her from somewhere? I mean obviously she was in a bunch of my classes, but I can't really put my finger on-
"Hellooo?" Violet waved her hand in front of my face. I shook my head, "Sorry just lost in thought again." I looked around her bedroom, avoiding her eyes. Violet looked worried. "You've been lost in thought for a long time these days, why?" I blushed, remembering how I thought of her as more than a friend. "Uh-wha-uhm, it's nothing!" I stuttered with a smile, hopefully it was convincing. "Are you sure you don't need to tell me something? I'm here for you, you know." I gave a genuine smile this time knowing how she cares for me. "Yeah, it's fine don't worry about it."

Violet excused herself to go to the bathroom, while I just sat there in thought. Is she really more than a friend? Or am I just mistaking things? Does she like me more than a friend? If I told her would it ruin everything we have?"

Is this a...crush?

God this is so annoying.

I look around her room and spot a photo album on one shelf. Hopefully she doesn't mind me just looking at some of her cute little baby pictures. I criss-cross on her bed, then I flip open to the first page and see a blonde girl and a brunette playing with some baby toys. "Dawww, she's the cutest little bean." I flip to a couple pages over and see her in middle school dressed in all black, with the same brunette by her side. "Same" is all I could say. A couple other middle school pictures with the two girls pass by. Finally, I flip over to her high school pictures.

What the hell? She graduated?

And the brunette girl is still there? Who is she?

I keep flipping and see more photos of her and a brunette, all ranging from childhood to high school years all over again. On one page, I even spotted her hand with an engagement ring, intertwined with a hand of a slightly tanner color. I stop at a random photo of her hugging the girl. I glance up for a second to see a full body mirror on her closet door and I see myself, then look back at the photo.

Wait-

Violet came back in and gave me just two seconds before she would turn around and see that I knew the truth. I didn't succeed. She saw the photo album in my lap, thankfully closed. "What are you doing with that?" Violet asked worriedly. Was I going to lie and say that I was about to look through it, or just tell her I know the truth?

I have to tell her.

"Violet...." I walked up to her and cupped her cheek," You did all of this for me?" Violet started to tear up, I hugged her so tightly I made my own ribs hurt. We fell onto the floor. She sobbed into my shoulder, and I proceeded to rub circles onto her back to comfort her.

"You finally remembered."

"Yes, Yes I did."

She pulled away from me and I got lost in her beautiful, emerald eyes. Before we realized it, we were leaning in. After a moment, our lips met. I melted into the kiss, and everything in that moment felt so right. The way her lips moved against mine feels like we've kissed millions of times.

Besides, we've probably kissed way too many times over centuries.

Violet was the first to pull away saying, " I owe you an explana-" I interrupted her," You don't owe me anything, in fact, maybe I owe u a bunch of kisses." I tried to pull her back into a kiss, but she stopped me and led me back to the bed. "No, I really need to tell you what happened. It started off in the 1400s when we were friends as kids, we eventually got crushes on each other in high school, then Louis and Brody got us to become... yaknow... like..." Violet scratched the nape of her neck and looked down. I chuckle a bit,"You know it's not a bad thing to say girlfriends, right?" She looks back up," I mean, I know that, but people weren't really happy with girlfriends back then. Anyways, the photos you saw are, well, you, but different reincarnations. We always died at the same time of old age, maybe sometimes freak accidents not too far apart, so I was never far behind in being able to be your friend, or girlfriend." She blushed at the last part. Wait... holy shit.

I just made a realization. "That's so cool! So you were like an intelligent baby, like boss baby?" Violet snorted, then I asked,"What's so funny?" She answered while still laughing,"Of course not, could you imagine how scary it would be if I was an adult in a 1 year old baby?" I chuckled a bit at the thought of that. The laughter faded then she continued,"I usually knew about my past lives once I'm around a pre-teen, but if I'm lucky our parents would be friends. Anyways, I'm glad that I found you and you didn't freak out," she paused," I don't know what I would do without you," Violet blushed as she admitted her already-known feelings once again.

Violet started again," I love you."

"That's gay."

"Only for you."

I pulled her into a more passionate, slow kiss.

This feels so.... right.

I hope this lasts forever.

"I love you too."

AN: I still suck lol but I put that last part in there because I'm listening to I love you by Billie Eyelash rn and it inspired me to finish this after like a week of this sitting in my drafts.
