My eyes fluttered open and I feel like I'm coughing up a lung. I'm awake? I'm awake. I blink my eyes open but my vision is blurry. I hear voices and see figures in front of me but I'm not sure who it is yet. Then a hear 2 voices. 2 voices that are all to fimiliar. Tate and Cooper. I finally see everything clearly and this isnt my house. I've never been in this house. It's old like mine, victorian looking. I try hard to find the words to speak but I couldnt. All I could muster out was a hoarse whisper, "Tate... Water." I see him quickly rush to my side. "Shhh, Vi." and he hands me a cup of water. With that I sit up and am feeling much better and a little more alert. I look around the bedroom I'm in and there's Tate, Cooper, and someone else that I do not recognize. "What is going on?" I said curiously but am a little frightened to know the answer. speaks first. "Violet, we have to discuss some things and it would be best for you to just absorb it all in without freaking out." She said approaching me, waiting for an answer. I just nod my head in agreement as Tate sits next to me and grabs my hand. "Now, Violet do you remember what happened earlier this morning?" I shook my head no but I did. Visions of yesterday kept flashing in front of my eyes and I didnt want to discuss it. "Uhm, no. Not to much" I said staring down at my water as she continued. "Very well then. We should recap them, shoudlnt we? Well let's not sugar coat this. You and Cooper slept together the night prior, you then woke up and killed Cooper, stabbing him multiple times in the chest. After that you walked into your bathroom and slit your throat in the bathtub." I could tell she was looking for a reaction but all I could was wince at her words. "Wait? That isnt possible. Cooper is standing over there and I am sitting right here. Stop bullshitting me." I said trying to make sense of what is going on right now. "Violet, your're a smart girl and I know you've noticed some strange going on's. This is a ghost town and not a ghost town in which the town is vacant. We are ghost's Violet and so are you. Now not everyone in this town is a ghost such as your parents so it is perferred that you dont say a word to anyone you know is not a ghost." I tried to speak but she shook her head and continued. Honestly I wasnt sure what I was going to say. "Now you are very much like Cooper and Tate. You need something that stabalizes you. A sport or an activity. I always pick the activity, so that being said I think you would do great and benefit musically. I already had my handsome Tate here pick you up a guitar. That is something else we have to discuss. You and Cooper need to stop seeing each other as anything more than friends. The combination is to toxic and I will not have that kind of negativity in this town. However you and Tate's attraction is to strong to ignore but I feel as if you should work on your friendship a little more. With that being said Tate has some things he needs to tell you." I try to speak once more but nothing came out. I was stunned. That was the only emotion I could feel so I just nodded and smiled. Everyone started to walk out besides Tate but turned around right before she left. "Oh and where are my manners. Violet, this is my husband Charles. He is the local doctor." She said as I smiled and waved them goodbye on there way out.
Tate comes on the bed a little more and lays down. I lay down next to him waiting for him to speak because I was on mute. "I'm sorry, Vi. I wanted to tell you everything sooner but I needed you to trust me first. Constance is my birth mother but she's never been a good mother. So when I was around 6 after my father left us, I met Nora. Now I call Nora mom. She took care of me. She was there for me. She loved me but it wasnt the love I craved. So when I turned 15 I met Cooper and we instantly understood each other. We were best friends and when we turned 17 we met up at my house in the morning did some coke and went to our lovely Westfield High School and shot up the place. After we finished shooting up the place we went back to my house with only one thing on our minds. Dying. It was a real shit storm when I knew we were just going to be spit back in to the same old bullshit. Nora forbid us to see each other anymore and she put me in track to help with the visions but it's you Violet. It's you who makes the visions go away. Please dont be mad at me, Vi. I'm sorry. I love you." He choked out the last words trying his best not to cry and I still laid there stunned trying to speak but he broke the silence before I ever could. "Violet. Please say something." I turned to him. "I-I-I Love you too, Tate but Nora said we should work on our friendship." I said with one single tear falling from my cheek. I wrapped me up in his embrace, "Shh, Vi. Dont cry. Let me take you home" He breathed in to my hair and kissed the top of my head. I snuggled in to him and nodded my head. We walked out to his car and he drove me home. When we got to my house he walked me up to my room and then started walking for the door. "Tate.. Will you stay with me tonight?" Normally I would never do something like that but to be honest I just needed him. He smiled at me and undressed down to his boxers. He came to lay next to me in bed and we were both so dead-cold but in his arms I felt so warm. It didnt take me long to fall asleep with him next to me.
