third person;

"She went to prison?" Violet questioned, her mind confused. She couldn't believe what Ethan had just told her. From the night of the party, all up until how Ethan had rushed to the airport for her.

Ethan had also gone to the police as he felt as if he was violated. He had showed them the recording from the party as well and well, from the countless trials, she had finally been sentenced to three years in prison.

Violet felt bad about leaving him too, but she couldn't of known. If she did, she would've stayed to help him through it. They would still be together.

"Yeah. She admitted that she drugged me and sexually assaulted me." Ethan says, looking down. Violet puts her hand into Ethan's, giving it a gentle squeeze as they locked eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she asks, gently.

"I caused you so much pain Violet. I didn't want to give you more grief." Ethan says. He knew how completely devastated Violet was when he had told her that he had cheated. He didn't know how she'd react if he had told her that he had been used like that.

"Ethan...she did this to you. It hurts me that she used you like that." Violet says, her voice gentle. She puts her head on Ethan's shoulder, his warmth making her feel less cold.

"I know." Ethan says, leaning his head on Violet's head as they sat on the balcony outside, the moonlight shining on the sea as they stared into the darkness.

"You don't deserve this at all." Violet whispers, as she holds onto his hand even tighter. Ethan clutched onto her hand too, his heart feeling full after a long time.

"I've missed this." Ethan says, looking down at both his and Violet's hands, which were intertwined together.

"Me too." Violet admits. Ethan couldn't help but wonder what would've happened if he had reached the airport in time to tell her.

Would they still be together right now?

Would they be in the same position as Joey and Shawn? Or would they have broken up and moved on with their lives?

They both sit there for a while, talking and catching each other up on their lives, before being beckoned back inside the hall by Alex. The both of them stand up before looking inside to see that everyone had started dancing together, properly, with more upbeat music.

Violet sees Shawn and Joey talking to some work friends. Will was dancing with some girl that he had just met and Alex was telling both Ethan and Violet to come and dance too.

They see Grayson and Harley together. Ethan looks at Violet as they go into the small crowd of people dancing along to the music.

Violet puts her arms around Ethan's shoulders as Ethan puts his arms around Violet's waist, closing the space between them. Violet looks up to see Ethan's smile. The precious smile she could never grow tired of. Ethan did the same, peering down at Violet's smile as they both danced together to the music.

Grayson saw the two of them dancing together before his eyes returned to Harley.

"It finally happened." Grayson mutters, smiling to his girlfriend.

"They're so cute." Harley says, looking at her boyfriend.

"So are you baby," Grayson smiles, pulling Harley closer to him.

"I love you." Harley smiles, looking at Grayson.

"I love you too baby girl," Grayson smiles.

He knew that his brother had finally told Violet about everything with Alicia. His brother looked genuinely happy again after four years and it made him happy too.

Grayson was standing with the girl of his dreams and so was his brother. He makes eye contact with Ethan before raising his eyebrows at him.

Ethan shakes his head at him before returning his eyes down to Violet.
