I dedicate this to those that have encouraged my writing and those who read and even hate my writing but at least have the mind to help me get better. .

Violets pov. (Point of view.)
**beep beep! *** I sigh impatiently knowing that’s Sammy outside. She is the most impatient person this world has ever seen. As I grab my book bag and walk outside I see David walk out of his house. “Hey David” he looks over to me and smiles and nods. We get into the car and I sit down trying not to grimace at the color pink and the perfume Sammy has on. “What the hell are you wearing?” I look over to her and see her smile and then it disappears just as quickly. I now grimace as the smell comes completely into my breathing space. “You smell like a damn daffodil.” She looks over to me and now is when she notices that my hair sand banged shifted and she saw the marks on my arms and right side of my face next to the hairline. “ violet what the hell happened last night?” she stopped at a red light and turns to me as I quickly cover my arms and put my hair covering my face. She growls knowing that it was my stepfather. I smile to her slightly, don’t worry imp fine nothing happened that hasten been done.” I hear David’s growl from the back seat.” I wish I can kill him.” I chuckle slightly. “Don’t worry guy’s I’m fine. Really.” That’s when Sammy blows up. “No it’s not okay that dip wad uses u killed chase and your mom doesn’t even see it.” I shrink back when she mentions his name, I feel the slight tears coming up and she sees she hit a tough spot. Her voice softens as she turns back to driving before we get to school she whispers that she was sorry. I nod and hug her lightly knowing that it just hurts her when she sees the pain he put me through. As I walk into school my mom sent me a text message. “I’m sorry honey someone’s getting to get you we need to talk wait in the office.” I reply okay and walk into the office saying goodbye to Sammy and David. I walk in and see mrs.saman behind her desk speaking with a middle aged man.” Ah hello Mrs. Violet.” She smile warmly before walking out of her cubicle and presented me to the man.” This man is here to take you home. “I nod and smile. I follow mr.christopehr toward a black limo outside waiting for me. I stare at him as he opens the door and I hesitantly walk in. As we approach the house I have the felling in the pit of my stomach that something is going on. Last night, bill, he seemed mad, aggravated. He hurt me more than normally. I smile wondering if it was that he finally got caught. Oh joy the day that happens I will totally dies of happiness. I walk up my doorstep and open the door. I walk into our kitchen and across the family room ready to go upstairs when I see them. I walk into the living room slowly, making sure I was I wanet crazy. I sit down when my mom pats the chair next to me. I see a blond’s tall model like women late middle aged. And a handsome older man probably her husband, next to them is a teenager most likely a year older than me. He has black hair that falls into his green eyes and if you look closely those green eyes have specks of hazelnut in them. I look towards my mom as she speaks talking. “Honey violet, dear, how do I say this? You are engaged, you are to be married um, and yeha that’s the best I can do.” I stare at them funny. I then burst out laughing half sobbing. “Oh you’re joking right?” My mom’s eyes wells up as she hugs me. I sit there frozen sober of all humor from my face. I sit there as my mom’s holds me close that that’s why bill hurt me so much. I stand leaving her grasp.” How long.” I look at them and then to my older sister Carmen.” How long did you guys know?” Carmen starts crying lightly and my father sits there I am now noticing that he has his hands cuffed back. My mom looks at me. “We found out when you were born when I married bill. You you were sick my dear we needed to take care of you but I don’t have the money and so they um lent us the money but it’s just we can’t pay it back. With graduation so close Carmen already got accepted to university of California and we sent back your letter of acceptance back to nyu a few days ago. “I gasp. My school my dream. I instantly think back to the essay wrote to the school when I was in middle school.
The light goes on.
Spotlight on you
And only you
You rehearse the song and dance perfectly.
Not good enough… I’m never goanna make it…..
Again.
Performing has always been something that fascinates me. I’ve always loved it. I felt free when I sung. I’m not worried about what people think or if I don’t win the contest I just let the music flow right through me. When I perform in front of an audience, I feel a sense of honor to be able of playing that role or singing that song. Without music in my life it would be like the sun didn’t come up in the morning or the stars at night.
Since I was five, my mom put me in dance lessons and vocals and even acting school. Five year old little me with pink leotard, black tights, pink plain ballet shoes. There was even a hole on the bottom of my shoe cause of how much I used them sometimes just want to get up and start dancing in the middle of class and sometime even stat singing. I always felt good about myself when I performed. My dream one day is to go to Julliard’s performing academy. I’ve trained for it and I have dreamt about it for years. Knowing I am one step closer to my goal of becoming a performer is what wakes me up to go to school in the morning. Whether it’s waking up at 6:30 in the morning to practice or having to quit hanging out with friends because I have so many rehearsals and practices I have to attend, it gives me a sense of pride knowing I’m committed to making my dreams a reality. My mom once asked me if this I truly wanted to do in my life, and without a skipping a heart beat I responded yes.
“Louder! Violet you can do better! Clearer! Hands up! Graceful! Do it again!!!!” I am shy. I speak. I am afraid of speaking too loud or showing off at dance or in vocals. When one performs it almost like you’re not yourself. You get this character and you just transform yourself. You’re so focused on doing the best you can on that role you forget your shyness. I always laugh at myself before a show because I get so anxious my body shakes my face pools with sweat my eyebrows creased with worry of forgetting something. My hands knotting into each other trying very hard not to run home and hide under the comfort of my bed, but once I am out there I forget the stage I forget the people and do it perfectly and when I hear that first set of claps is when I realize I did it. One of my past play instructors would always tell me to do it again and again until I told her why?, I asked her why did I have to do again Why I wasn’t good enough. I kept going I was like a volcano exploding for the first time. She waited till the lava cooled down. The only thing she responded was “you are so good at what you love to do, but I have faith in you enough to know you can go way past the stars and moon and up to the planets.” I was so frustrated with her. I didn’t know what that meant. A few days later I fully understand that she meant that I needed to look past the sheet music or the dance steps and go deep down inside of my heart to find my real melody. If you ask me to tell you what music and performing is for me the word I would use is inspirational. When I am stuck in a situation I don’t know what to do I hum I start dancing and instantly I relax, I see the world differently, I used to think that football players for example were rough and un graceful but after years of dance I see that football players don’t just play the game they dance in the field, those twist, leaps, speed, all part of training of dancers. Even if I don’t get into my Julliard’s performing school, I know that I’d have to incorporate performing in my life because life wouldn’t be life without it. If I didn’t get into my school I wouldn’t be upset because then id now I still haven’t looked deep down inside. Performing to me is like is like water without it I would die. I’m still looking for my melody in life, but that’s okay because that’s just one more step to my dream. “
I stand and walk away from them. “So what you played inminiminymoe when choosing witch daughter got to live her dream witch daughter got to finish her education become someone in this world. You r choosing witch daughter actually gets to fall in love on her own?” I looked at the three of them my mom’s starts to apology. Bu I break down screaming” no I don’t need your apologies; I never needed your apologies I needed your love your support. But I never got that did I? No. you took away everything from me, my life my happiness my freedom, my friends, family” I whisper lightly the last word “love.” I look around me “you ruined my life. And you’ve kept me in the dark. You convinced me you loved me. You made me believe in myself that I can graduate but in the end you knew I was leaving that I was gone. “I look over to my stepfather. “ I’m glad they caught you. You filthy sugerfoot.” I looked over ot my sister, my beloved older sister Carmen, the one I trusted, confined myself to the one I truly loved in this family and disgust shudders inside of me.” You have fun in the world. I hate you. And have a nice life.” I lastly turn to my mother ad look at her the longest. “And you. My mom, my life giver. The one that is so sacred to my heart. I thought I could never hate you, no matter what you did. But I guess the heart changes people?” she shudders. I turn around and walk towards the people. I look at them. They extend their arms I shake the moms first. “I’m Clara, and this is my husband Charles and last this is your fiancé Julian.” I shake their hands and I smile politely. “Imp so sorry you had to hear that I am normally quit not so outburst but I think it was time for them to hear this. I am violet Isabel Brooklyn.” I look towards Julian and look back at the parents. “I shall go upstairs and pack if you do not mind and call a few mates.” I walk upstairs and into my small room. Nothing personal. I grab all 4 suitcases and shove 2 of them all with my wardrobe into them I then take the most important things to me and pack those. I sit in my bare room and call the school excusing Sammy and David from school. A few minutes later our doorbell rings and I hear them running up the stairs. Sammy burst though and saw me crying on my bed. “What happened?” I sit up and declare it as best as possible. “I’m getting married at 18.” With hat Sammy and avid fall on my bed asking for all the details. Half hour later Clara was calling my name declaring that it was time for us to leave. I stand up and Sammy David and I lug my stuff downstairs, mr.christphor puts them in the trunk of the limo. I walk into the living room to find my mom and sister sitting there. I stare at them “goodbye” I look at my mom. “I hate you” I look over to my sister “have a nice life.” I walk back out and outside, I singes I stand infornt of my two best friends. I start crying lightly. “I love you guys I’m going tom miss you so much.” “I promise to visit when I get the chance. I love you both you know that? I have my phone and computer,” I look at Sammy’s tear streaked face and David’s blue eyes filled with tears and new tears start falling all over again. I hug them each and kiss Sammy’s checks and I kiss David full on the lips. “I love you David. Never doubt that. If there was any way I can get out of this I would but I can’t and I need you to know that if never told you because ei was scarred hate knowing I’m taken way and leaving the one I love behind.” He looks openly at me and steps back. “Violet “he says before repeating the words I was hoping I would never hear. “ I love you but I don’t love you in that way I mean as a sister love. I’m in love with Sammy. We were going to tell you at lunch. We’ve been going out for a while. I’m so sorry. I stare at them numbly and shake my head. “Whatever. Goodbye has a nice life.” I walk away before they can respond and I plug in my iPod. The song that automatically turns son is set fire to the rain by Adele.
I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.
[Chorus:]
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing gets better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say,
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.
[Chorus:]
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help me from looking for you.
[Chorus:]
I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew that was the last time, the last time, oh, oh!
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
I sang along silently as I got into the limo waiting for me. As I sit down and close my eyes to sleep he speaks. “Violet” he says my name. I open my eyes and look at him. I take out my ear buds and look at him. Julian. Julian my fiancé. “Yes?” I ask” he looks at me and then mutters “forget it.” I look away and sink back into my seat. Deciding at that moment that I was going to be different, beautiful a girl not some tomboy or some emo I’m going to be someone that I’ve hidden for a while.
About a half hour later we arrive to a huge mansion. I step out of the car and stare at it wondering what we were doing in this address. I look up towards Julian to see him opening the door and following his parents inside. I get my remaining 2 suitcases. When I walk inside the parents are there waiting for me. Clara starts.” Hi violet, to tell you the truth you’re not going to marry our son Julian, we have decided that you marry our other son, parker smith. I belevive that he is somewhere in the house or reading in the library.” She smile brightly and I put my bags down. I look at them “um were should I p lace these?” I say motioning toward my belongings. She smiles and Julian immediately took 2 of them going up the satires. I grab my other two suitcases an start tugging them upstairs when I get to the top I bump into a hard thing, well someone. I stumble back but before I had the chance to fall I was being held upright and my suitcases fall with a thud on the floor. I look up to see a handsome 18 19 year olds face, he has the same black hair and green with hazel specks in the them as is brother but instead this face is complexion perfect and his smile is dazzling. I smile back as he sets me on my feet again and bends down to pick up the suitcases; he straightens up and turns around with my suitcases in tow. I follow and he leads me into this beautiful bedroom. The walls are a perfect white, there is the most beautiful chandelier and the bed was made of perfection, here was a door on the right that I noticed open and that lead to a beautiful bathroom and I was guessing the door next to it leads to the wardrobe, he sets the suitcases down and turns to face me. “So I am parker smith nice meeting you.” He shakes my hand and I answer just as calm “I’m violet Brooklyn, are you Julian’s brother?”I ask, confusion clouding my face. He nods and I reply “I’m engaged to you” his face is now the one that looks confused as the realization comes around he says “can you wait a few seconds?” I nod and he walks out of my room. I hear him as I sit on my bed calling to his parents. I open my first suitcase and open the draw on the right side of the bed that was full of boys clothing. I check all the drawers and closet yet it is all filled. As I sit on the bed perplexed parker walks back in and picks up my suitcases again, “wrong room.” He takes me a few doors down to an even bigger room, same furniture the only difference is this one seems to be fit for two people. I look over to him. “Um am I sharing this room?” he chuckles. “Um yeah with me, the right side of everything is yours. I shrug. He sits down on the bed leaning back he watches me unpack.
Parker’s pov.
I lean down on my bed watching her unpack. I have to admit I’m pretty shocked, I thought my fiancé was coming in a few days but of corse my parents changed their mind. She’s cute, no cute doesn’t even cover it; she’s beautiful hard to admit I just met her but she seems nice. She is wearing some back jeans and black boots, a blood red shirt and her hair, long black hair that falls to her waist was pulled back into a freanchbraid. She walks graceful and her head held down though, almost like she was scared of meet anyone’s eyes. Hmnnn got to fix that, her eyes are breathtaking. There a deep gray. A deep gray that makes me think of a sky before and after a storm. She starts unpacking her clothes but stops when she sees there were cloths’ in the drawers. She laughs and looks at me perplexed, her gentle voice drifting to me “um there are girl clothes in here already. “ I laugh and nod. “Yes those are yours.” She nods and starts folding her own clothing and placing it gently with delicate fingers into the drawer. I don’t know how long I’m sitting there watching her, making conversation with her when I hear my brother call out to me. I walk to my door to find Julian at his door “mom said dinner is in half hour so you and violet must be ready and presentable for the banquet diner. Um by the way violets hair people and wardrobe people are here.” I look at him and walk into the bedroom. I sit back down and tell violet this. Her eyes pop out of her pretty little head her bangs clipped back falls in front of her eyes. “Wardrobe people! Hair stylist!” she shrieked. I smile lightly and wish her good luck as the crew came walking in. I walk out of the room to hear her say lightly” oh no.” I smile and walk towards my brothers room. I walk into his room and I see him getting dressed din his tux. His fiancé is arriving any minute now. I laugh and fix his tie. I then jump into his shower and get dressed. As I get dressed Julian and I talked about the banquet. The banquet was being held for only the most important people in our family. We’re talking about what people were going to do and stuff when Julian brings the subject of some boy named chase. Chase was violets ex boyfriend the one she truly loved when her abusive father found out he killed him and blamed it on a car crash he had. I sit there thinking. When I see its 5 minutes before seven I walk back down to my bedroom and open the door slowly. I walk in and I see her standing in front of the mirror, staring. She looked beautiful; her hair was done in little ringlets cascading down her back reaching lower than her waist. The dress they put her in is a blood red dress with a black lace ribbon under neath her breasts. The black high hells made her legs go on forever and her face her beautiful face was almost clear of makeup, except her eyes. They made her eyes shine and dark like her dress, her lips were a glossy red, so kissable sigh outs loud by mistake and she turns around not noticing me there by the door. I blush and she smile lightly. I have a matching red tie with my black tux. For a moment I was compelled to pull her into my arms. I shake my head. No I can’t think that. This marriage thing is stupid. I’m the head football player. I’m perfect jock and I can get anyone I want. I frown and I see her smile turn down and her head avert towards the ground. I go towards her and put my hand out, but she shrugs and walks ahead looking back at me and frowning deeply. I curse myself. As I walk downstairs I see the group of people and Te chatter of everyone.
The night passes slowly. By 8 30 dinner was over and we were in the ball room talking and mingling when Sarah my ex coming up to me. She kissed me on the lips and pulled me into a hug. Violet sees me and walks away. I pull out of Saras grasp and walk towards violet. She’s walked into the library, the most perfect room in this house. I see her sit down and I barge in. “what are you doing in here?” She looks at me and shrugs. I sigh frustrated. I walk up to her and kiss her lightly; I was going to deepen the kiss when I fell her pull away and slap my face. She steps back tear sin her eyes, she looks angry but I get angry, I don’t know why. “Why are you mad?” I huff. The tears pour slightly down and say “I’m getting married to you, the biggest player football captain in the school,” I get even angrier, “what wrong with that?” I’m guessing I hit a hard core because she burst out screaming at me with tears running down her porcelain face. “You know why! Earlier in our room my friends send me texts and upshots of them on their 3 month aniversery.They found there soul mates, they love each other. There happy knowing everyday that they belong to etch other but I don’t get that. I don’t get to fall in love, I’m stuck here. .” she huffs. “That’s why I’m in here.” I look at her and my thoughts go to chase. I blurt his name out before I have a chance. “Chase.” She looks at me hurt and confusion clouding her face. “You loved that boy, chase but he’s gone. Your hurt isn’t you” she starts sobbing again. I blow up when she doesn’t respond. “So what your guilty, it was your fault wisent it! You had to fall in love with him, you new better but you decided not to follow the rules. You know where that got him, loving you cost him his life. It that what goanna cost me, me loving you one day am I goanna find myself stabbed I the back or poisoned?” she falls to her feet clutching for air as she sobs. I knew chase was a touchy subject for her but I couldn’t stop. I wanted her to know I loved her but I was scared so I became a total jerk. “You killed him. You killed him slowly everyday with each kiss you gave him; he could be alive at this second, falling in love with a new girl or graduating this year. But he’s gone. His parents must be devastated! Ha well you caused that” she screams for me to stop but I keep going, thinking of every bad thing I can think of hurting her the most I could until she ran out of the room crying. I stop when I hear her run upstairs and stand there my hands at my sides. Staring at the wall my fist curling up at my sides. My brother and father come barging in confusion on their faces. I push past them walking out the front door instead of driving I start walking. Don’t know were just walking. I end up at peters house my best friend. I walk in and find him watching a movie in the den. I explain OT him how she made me feel and the n the anger and then I told him and he called Chris and max to come over. They let me borrow his jeans and a white shirt, they took me down to local club were all the kids at school always go. I sulk there drinking water while my friends got wasted and danced with all the girls. I tried but my thoughts were focused on violet. When I saw her today I was mad fuming down stairs to yell at my parents for something and I see her and my heart melts completely. I wanted to hold her she was so beautiful it was like seeing the stars at night for the very first time.
Violet pov.
I ran from the room crying and trying hard to breath. He said those things, they hurt I almost believed them. I am so upset my hearts just got broken a second time. I run upstairs ignoring the people who follow. I reassure them I just need some time alone. As I walk into my bedroom I start towards the bed when my head starts drooping. I almost fall but catch myself, the next step I fall and my breathing gets shallow and uneven. I fall into darkness as I close my eyes and leave the world.
Parker’s pov.
A half hour later I gather my friends and drop them at their house. As I walk back home I plug my iPod in and pick the first song that came to mind. I tried texting her I’m sorry.
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
As they take me to my local down the street
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet
They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
But after one too many I know that I'm never
Only they can’t see where this is gonna end
They all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense
[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around
And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing
[Verse 2]
So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
I know if I faced her face, that she'll come to her senses
Every drunk step I take leads me to her door
If she sees how much I'm hurting, she'll take me back for sure
[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around
And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing
She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
Oh, I got nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Ohm, sometimes love's intoxicating
Ohm, you're coming down, your hands are shaking
When you realize there's no one waiting
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around
And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing
She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
I got nothing
I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Ohm I got nothing
I got nothing [x3]
I come to my front door and I enter. The party’s gone down a few people mingle with my parents and Julian. I slip by them and start walk upstairs to my bedroom. I walk in to find all the lights on and violet on the floor her breathing shallow. I run to her and pick her up. Her pulse is slow and she feels cold. I pick her up and I run downstairs careful not to frop her. I call her name on the way down but she won’t respond. I run into the ballroom and Julian and my parent’s immediate y come to my side. My mom grabs her keys and we all hurry out to go to the hospital.
When we get there, they put her in a room and oxygen tube in her nose, her breathing has shallower out but she’s cold and pale. The doctor asked if she had medication and if she took them. I knew she does but I wasn’t sure if she took them then he asked the question I had the answer to, ahs she gotten stressed lately, upset emotional? I blush ashamed, “yes she and I had an argument a few hours ago.” The doctor nods his head. “She might not have taken her meds and then the emotion seemed to build up to things. You’re lucky you got here in time. She was loosing oxygen.” He nods at me “you may take her home when she wakes up.” He shakes my hand and walk out of the room. I sit next to her wailing.
Violets pov.
I woke up in a hospital bed parker asleep next to me, I sit up and a nurse come in. she takes way the oxygen mask and hands me some medication. I gulp it down and get out of the bed. I dress and without waking up parker grab my things and walk out of the room. I make it as far as the waiting room when I see Clara Charles and Julian waiting talking softly to them, Clara hugs me and then looks down the hall to were parker was walking down coming towards us. He stands a few feet away and we start walking out of the hospital we all get to the cars. I get into Clara’s car and sink into the seat, she starts talking. “We were pretty worried about you honey, parker mostly.” I sigh. “ listen hon., parker, he, he gets scared when he experiences something new, he finds ways to manipulate the situation, he may act a certain way or he might say something. He is sweet and caring but sometimes things just don’t turn out the way he want it to be.” I look at her. “He I think loves you, I mean I know my own son and I know he was feeling something because he acted that way for a certain reason. He was scared.” I look at her and smile; I try to be as honest as I can. “Clara, I’m sorry but I don’t love your son, maybe if I get to know him better but I met him today, my whole life was take from me 8 hours ago. I’m still in a state of shockers, I can try I must admit that I fell something for him but you have to give me time. I won’t be happy until I know what I feel inside.” She looks at me and smiles, “its okay hon. one day you’ll get it.” I look at her perplexed but then she turns the car off and walks inside leaving me in a puzzle. I get out of the car walking in behind her. I walk upstairs and I open the door to my room. I notice that none’s in here so I walk in and jump in the shower letting the warm water relax my muscles. I hop out of the shower and run to the closet, I grab a pair of Sophie shorts and a red tank top. As I comb my hair out I tie it back into my signature freanchbraid and I climb into bed letting sleep consume me. I hear the door open and someone creep into the bathroom. He slips into the bed next to me and I sigh mentally. As I hear his breath even out and I feel him fall asleep. I get up lightly and I grab my pillow and the warm black sweater that kept me warm. I slipped my feet into my black sandals. I sneak downstairs and walk into the library. I grabbed Romeo and Juliet from the shelf and snuggled up on one of the couches. I get past half the book when I felt my eyes close and darkness wash over me. I wake up at 6 30ish and sigh. Its Tuesday today I’m guessing I have to go to school. I walk upstairs and walk towards parkers and I room. The school I heard was a public school so I dint have to wear a uniform. I jump in the shower washing my hair and combing through it. I walk into the closet and pick out black skinny jeans a red baby doll shirt. I comb out my hair until the ringlets shine and my bangs cover my face as always. I slip on my black blood red flats and I walk out. I go to my side of the room were my laptop and other stuff is located on my desk. I sit down and stare at myself in the mirror; I pull out my stud diamond earrings and my bracelet. I touch my amulet and I instantly relax. I grab what look like my new bookbag and stuff some binders I found on top of my desk and few supplies. Placing my laptop in my bag I make my way downstairs, I walk into the kitchen and grab a glass of milk with a mini muffin. I sit in the kitchen until I hear Clara and Charles walk in I smile at them and they smile back confusion rippled through them. “You’re ready already?” I nod. Charles nods in approval. As they start getting stuff out for breakfast parker walks down the stairs dressed in dark washed jeans and a dark blue polo that hugs his muscular chest. His converse making him look perfect his hair newly washed was wet and in his eyes. I stare at him and begin to speak “ good-’’ he grabs his keys and walk out of the room the house door slamming after him “ morning” I say cutoff by his haste. I swallow lightly and look down to my nails holding back tears. Clara looks over to me and shakes her head. “Don’t worry hon. he’s just upset.um, oh here are your car keys and your gps is set to take you to the school. You must be at home before 9:00 and if not call or either shoot me and charkes a text message. Your phone has my number programmed into it so don’t worry.” I nod and check the time. 7:15 “better get going. Better not be late on my first day…bye.” I nod and wave goodbye. I walk outside and beep the car horn from the key remote. I walk over to this black jeep. I get in and I put the key to the car ignition. I start driving when a voice starts talking. “Take left then next right,” I almost die of shock. “Holy crap” I drive towards were the car takes me and I find myself elf turning into this beautiful school campus. “Willington high.” I read. I drive up towards a parking spot. I park and grab my backpack getting out of the car. I walk towards the entrance of the school and I walk into a crowded hallway of kids rushing to their first period class. I was in search of the office when the first bell rung. I found the office a few seconds later and I walk in asking the nice lady for my schedule. They hand it to me and as I wait for her to write a note to my first class teacher she looks up and smile “ah mr.rosario, how are you and your step-brothers today?” he smiles at her and responds “good .Mrs. .McKenna.” He laughs a beautiful laugh “Parker is the stupidest idiot and Julian’s quit what can I say, there my family.” “And how was your vacation?” mrs.mckenna continues her head tipped toward the side waiting for his response. She nods “okay just got back last night at 3 in the morning.” I grab my schedule and walk out the door. I am In the midst of finding my 3rd period class, Spanish 3 honors when I hear the third bell. I start running. As I get to the steps I look at my schedule to make sure it’s upstairs or downstairs. As I am deciding which way to go I hear his voice. “No running in school” I jump and look up. He is there lounging against the top step smirking down at me. I look up at him and frown lightly. “I think I have a reason.”
Damien’s pov.
I’m walking down the steps when I see her run into the staircase. I smirk. “No running in school” as she looks up at me I smile. She frowns and responds with a voice like the wind on a nice spring day. “I think I have a reason.” I laugh. As I walk down the stairs towards her “and why is that?” The edges of her lips quirk up, “um I’m late?” I laugh and I finish descending the stairs walking in front of her looking at her schedule. I see she has the same class as me. “Come on its way. If mr.fuentes asks why were late just say I was showing you the school.” She nods and we continue our day. I promised her to meet her 6th period so we can walk to lunch together. She nodded and so continued our day. I spent the day thinking about her. In the classes we had together we would talk. She’s great she’s fun, energetic cute. By 6th period I walk towards d235 and I wait there waiting for her to come out with the rest of the class. At last she walks out and greets me. I hug her hello and announce the news I heard in since.” I got bumbled to advances chem. So guess what class I’m switching to? Yours!” she laughs her syrupy sweet laugh as she sees how excited I was and I laugh because ei was happy I made her smile. As we get to the café no one’s there yet so we get our lunch and starts our walk towards the table at one of the window tables and she starts joking around when she sees my binder. She asks a question “Are you parker smith and jillions brothers and Clara and Charles son?” He nods. “Yes why do you know them?” I laugh. “Yes I’m engaged to your brother, but if there was any way I could get out of it I would trust me.” She laughs. “Your brother is a nightmare.” I stop in my tracks while she walks ahead and stops when she notices that I stop. I shake my head and laugh. “Wait your the girl my brother is engaged to?” She nods and looks at her a frown on my face. “Shit” I curse myself. I see her curse herself silently. She looks at me a smile at her lips “why are you cursing yourself?” I frown down at my pizza slice. “I’m falling for my brother’s fiancé.” She looks at me and laughs. She looks at me seriously next though. “Even though I am thourouly attracted to you there are no way we can even go out? First of all I’m engaged to a jerk of your brother and second you brother would kill you and murder me.” She looks at me her grey eyes shining beautifully behind her bangs. She was leaned towards me her elbows on the table when ill leaned down and kissed her.
Violets pov.
I’m falling for my brother’s fiancé.” He says I laugh. I looks at him seriously next though. “Even though I am thourouly attracted to you there are no way we can even go out? First of all I’m engaged to a jerk of your brother and second your brother would kill you and murder me.” I leaded forward making sure no one heare d me whisper the words to him. As I sat re at him waiting for a response, he leans towards me and kisses my lips.
Parker’s pov.
I walk into the cafeteria with max at my side and the group behind me as I walk in I look over the sea of students when I catch violets hair in a table by the window. I look at here and walk into the door, she’s kissing someone. My friends laugh a dask why I walked into the door. I tear my gaze away and laugh along. When I turn to see her again I see his face. It’s Damien. She was kissing my stepbrother. My temper flares momentarily. She probably is making me jealous. I’m not going to be played by her. I go and get mu lunch and I walk out of the cafeteria my thoughts all wound up on violet.
Violets POV
As he leans away from me I stay there my eyes closed my lips pursed. I open my eyes and frown; I see it in his eyes aswel. “You didn’t feel anything. No sparks. Nothing.” He frowns lightly. “I’m sorry but no you are a great kisser but I don’t know I feel like I like you but it’s not reaching the heart.” I smile at that a blow out a sigh of relief. “I am glad. I don’t know I just didn’t find anything. Well it was worth the shot.” He burst out laughing at that and I have to smile back. We finish lunch chatting away and when the bell rings he helps me find my classes. By the day Damien tells me he and his brothers had football practice and that they wouldednt get back until 5ish. I nodded and I find my car and slide in. I fins my way home and when I get inside I notice no one was in at home but Clara. I walk into the kitchen and grab a muffin Clara looks up from her laptop and smile brightly. “How was your first day? How did the stuff with parker go?” I look at her blankly. “Okay and no parker are still mad as hell.” I shrug it off. Depression clouding me at the mention of parker being mad at me. I trudge upstairs and sit grab a pair of sweatpants and a purple spaghetti strap undershirt. I let my hair fall down my back and hit my waist. I wipe off my makeup and I grab my book bag from the floor and throw it towards my desk. Before I threw I remembered my laptop and so I walked over the few feet and gently set it down. I sat down on my laptop and plugged in my I pod and started homework. At around 5 30 I started to finish and I heard the door slam and voices. I walked out of the bedroom my feet in my converse as I walk downstairs no one notices me. I look into the living room were parker is sitting there with a girl. He was kissing her and she was kissing back almost as passionately. Julian and Damien were in the next few couches Julian’s fiancé Lilia was sitting cuddled up next to him and Damien was all alone sitting rooting this football game eon. I didn’t notice that Damien and Julian noticed me because ei just kept staring at parker and this girl. When Julian calls my name I turn my head around to face him he starts talking but I don’t hear anything I can only see his lips move. All I hear is the cracking and pounding of my slowly breaking heart. I keep nodding not listening. My focus has turned around again towards parker and this mysterious girl. I can’t see any more my vision blurred with tears. I run past them and down the hallway. I open the door to find the pool. I go to the changing room and put on a 2 piece. When I finish changing I dive into the pool. I do 25 laps until I couldn’t go anyloger. I made it up to thirty and then I floated there relaxing trying to forget about parker. That’s when I hear the door slam. I sink my head underwater. I come up for air I swim towards the edge wondering who it was. I look up and I see parker standing at the edge of the pool. He has a sheet in his hand. I look up and start speaking “parker what do you want from me?” he sighs. “ I saw you kissing Damien and I got jealous I guess and then Damien explained you felt nothing and then I don’t know I guess I’m just a jerk.” I rolled my eyes. I didn’t need the truth I already knew it. I started to start to swim when he grabbed my forearm. “Wait just listens to what I have to say:

He looks into the pool but notices that I’m not in the pool I’m behind him. He realizes and turns around. I look at him; half of my body screaming out forgives him. Yo love him just hug and kiss and were good. Yet a small part of my body is saying, he hurt you. I listen to the side of me that’s hurt. I speak. “You think that just becausesed you saw me kiss your brother you don’t even come over to see if it was me or him that kissed and my reaction to it?” he hangs his head. “Yeah no I don’t think so. So you know I’m doing homework upstairs when I hear the door slam open and I walk downstairs to actually tell you about the kiss to apologize for being such a bitch lately. You know because I felt bad. I walking down when I see you there making out with some girl. Do you know how I felt in that instant? Pain. Betrayal. Sadness.” He steps towards me “I’m sorry I dint mean that” I laugh without humor. “Don’t you dare lie to me okay?” I start crying “you’re standing here asking forgiveness reading this poem and looking all innocent but you’re not. I’m hurt.” With that I push him into the pool and storm into the changing room. I grab my sweats and t shirt. I grab a towel and run upstairs. I jump into the shower crying my head out. I wash my hair and finish showering. I walk out and pull on some black short shorts and a blue spaghetti strap t-shirt. I decide to stay barefoot. I walk downstairs and let my wet hair fall down my back. I go over to the living room and sit on the sofa. I grab the remote and put on the movie life as we know it. I stretch out on the couch and change whatever the show was on to the movie twilight. Lila wanted to watch it. I shrugged and sat in a corner. As I sit Lilia and Julian cuddled, he holding her protectively, lovingly, possessively. I burst into silent tears. Damien notices and I shake my head ruining upstairs towards my bedroom. I walk into it slowing my pace and lay on my side of the bed. Knowing I’m not happy. I’m not myself anymore. I’m someone they want me to be I’m someone ei think I want to be. As I stare at the wall I know what I have to do.
Damien and Julian and even Lilia came up to check on me. I told them I was fine I just needed some rest I put on a smile. Knowing inside this is the last time either of them actually saw my smile. As I hear their steps retreat downstairs I know that I need to say something first. I walk downstairs. Checking that parker wasen tin the room I told Julian that I liked him as a brother in law and that I hoped he was happy with his future wife. I told Lilia that I wished her luck with Julian that I was happy someone found their mate in this world. No one notices anything. As I approach Damien’s door I rehearse the speech. “Damien before ei go to bed I just wanted to say sorry for being a bitch lately and I love having you as a brother in law. And I hope you find someone that deserves you because you are one hell of a person.” I smile hiding the tears behind my eyes. I hug him and he nods smiling back responding nicely. I walk upstairs again and walk toward the desk. I write the speech I have been dreading the whole time. Writing out in my sloppy script I start and end it like this:
Dear parker.
I know we met under the weird circumstances of our parents arrangements and that I have to be honest that I have developed feelings for you , yet again here I go with the honesty thing again, I know you are not happy. I see it in your eyes. I feel it in your heart, you think you love me but that’s all part of the game our parents created the day they were bored. As I write this as tears fall from my eyes blurring my vision. I bite my lips trying to word the next phrases. I know that your parents will understand that I loved you yet I can’t go through the pain I feel every day. My heart throbs hard against my chest almost like a bomb in a bird cage. I smile lightly at this metaphor. I know you’ll find someone eventually and somewhere and sometime I will be smiling down at all of you. You will be different with her you’ll be gentle loving caring and protective. You will hold her in your arms and just think about her never second looking at another girl. I know this because ei know the real you. You’re not the mean jerk that I’ve been shown you’re warm and kindhearted but I guess that side comes out only when you honestly love someone right? Another reason why I want to make this decision is because ei wouldn’t stand knowing well get married one day with hate as our bond. Yelling and arguing. Knowing that you hate me. I love you too much to know that you hate me. I just want you to know I never hated you. I have loved you since the first day I’ve seen you and have been denying yet there no way around love. I love you parker ad I need to know you’ll forget me soon and move on. Live your life like a young adult should. Have fun and smile a bit. I never hated you and never will.
Love always, violet.
I put the letter in my binder and I climb into bed. I hear the door squeak open and the bed go down with his pressure of his weight. I pretend to be asleep. As I hear his breath even out I know then he is asleep. I stay awake just staring at the wall not knowing how to sleep. I hear him sigh and turn and tussle. At around 2 in the morning I finally fall asleep. I feel like I was asleep for 2 seconds when I hear Lilia calling my name telling me that I needed to get ready for school, I told her I wasn’t feeling well and when Damien and Julian came in to check I told them it was a girl thing. They believed me. When I hear them leave to go to school and then I hear their parent’s car leave the driveway I climb out of bed. I jump in the shower and put on some jeans and a long sleeved striped black and white shirt. I put on some converse and I walk downstairs. I make myself an omelet and bacon for lunch considering that it was already 1. I eat slowly forming the plan out. When I finish I put the dish in the washer and grab the kitchen cutting knife walking upstairs towards the library. I grab the note and I leave the bedroom staring at everything remembering. As I walk towards the library I look at everything and I stare at everything. I take a big deep breath while I walk into the library and stare at everything. I let a tear slip as I shut the door and walk back out towards me bedroom. I plug my I pod on and listen to my favorite songs. “The joke by life house
When you find me in the morning
Hanging on a warning
Oh... the joke is on you
You said you were pretending
Here's to unhappy endings
Oh... the joke is on you
To make sure yesterday doesn't repeat
I took a shortcut home, a left on the street
I know they won't find me here
I found out how to make mama proud
Be real quiet don't talk too loud
I try, try to disappear
My life is for the taking
Breakdown is awaking me
I'm ending all this pain
When you find me in the morning
Hanging on a warning
Oh... the joke is on you
You said you were pretending
Here's to unhappy endings
Oh... the joke is on you
I walk into the bathroom and I leave the door. Open. Listening to the song go on and on. I stare at myself in the mirror, my face staring back at me. My green eyes staring at me, shining and big. My complexion perfect as ever and my mouth a crooked smile full of sadness.
This is my last day
Should have been my first kiss
Think to myself will I ever be missed
I hope... or maybe I don't care
I wear my team around my neck
I love them so much gonna love them to death
Tonight... see the world through my eyes
My life is for the taking
Breakdown is erasing me
I'm ending all this pain
Before I could change my mind I cut my arm the pain unbearable I let out a small scream but when I do it repeadtly over and over again deeper and deeper, it feels almost nice, letting all the pain go away. I keep cutting until the knife slips from my hands and onto the floor with a clatter and the note on the floor next to me when I fall my green shining eyes closing and my lips smiling happily for the first time and the last.
My great escape
Is my biggest mistake
I think you better turn around
don’t throw it away
today... today...
Parkers POV
As I’m walking toward math I feel a deep pain slash through my arm. I wince and let out a small scream. Julian and Damien stare at me. The slashes keep coming and deeper. I almost fall to the floor but I hold myself against the wall. I croak out the name that pops into my head. Violet. “Violet” I croak out as I breath and start running towards my car. Damien and Julian hot on pursuit. Lilia runs to her car and we all speed home. I park my car and run upstairs the gang behind me. I hear music coming from upstairs ad I sprint up the stairs taking those 2 at a time. I walk into the bedroom and I look around not finding her there but I find the I pod. I UN plug it A note next to it.

Love always, violet.
I turn around slowly towards the bathroom and that’s when I see her, there the knife next to her. She’s on the ground slumped on the wall. A note next to her. I scream to everyone to come no and I walk towards the bathroom. I go and see her arm gashed up and I blink back tears. I have the note crushed in my hand when Damien and Julian walk in Lilia hiding behind them. I look at them “she wanted to kill herself.” I walk toward her and I feel a light pulse. But she lost a whole of blood. I pick her up and she falls limp in my arms. I run downstairs to the basement and lay her on the bed. Julian checks her out and stares grimly at me. “She’s lost a whole lot of blood. It’s either she dies or you change her. I stare at him unwilling to understand. He shakes his head. I yell at him. “She wanted to die.” I stare at her. “Just let her die then” Julian then snaps his heap toward mine. He stalks and pounds the table. “Are you kidding me? “He snatches the letter from Damien hands when he looks at me “this girl this loving caring funny girl rather takes her life then see you miserable. She thinks you have a good side. She thinks the best of everyone but her parents but I mean I even hate them anyway, she left you this note. God damn it read the fukinking note. Did you let me reads this specific part of it. Ok ay. Knowing that you hate me. I love you too much to know that you hate me. .. I know you’ll find someone eventually and somewhere and sometime I will be smiling down at all of you. You will be different with her you’ll be gentle loving caring and protective. You will hold her in your arms and just think about her never second looking at another girl. I know this because I know the real you. You’re not the mean jerk that I’ve been shown you’re warm and kindhearted... “He stops and stares at me venom in his hazel eyes. I let that sink and then nod my head. “Let’s do it.”
3 hours later.
I sit in the living room waiting for the hours pass. Just a few more. Usually it only takes 8 hours. Julian stills mad at me but Damien is okay. He was watching some football team when we hear the door open. I see my mom walk in. she looks at me and then sits down. “So you really turned her. She is now part of our world.” The only response I could actually respond was a nod.
Violets POV
I see bright lights when I open my eyes. I wondered if this was heaven but I felt pain. In my neck in my wrist. Is this part of haven pain? I feel cold and I can’t see anything anymore its all black.
5 hours later.
I open my eyes and I find myself in a blue room on a bed. I sit up and rub my eyes. “Is this heaven?” I ask myself stopping in shock when I hear my voice. Velvet. As I get out I touch the floor and straighten myself up. I hear a some coughs behind me and I turn abruptly. There is standing parker Damien and Lilia. I back up, suddenly afraid. I see parker approach me. “Am I dead? What am I doing here? “I ask still getting used to my new voice. Parker doesn’t say anything. I turn around and look at myself in the mirror. There staring back at me is a model looking perfect body, her black hair falling down her waist shiny and beautiful, her eyes sparkle green and her lips are full and in a shocked shaped. As she lifts her hands the movement looks graceful and beautiful like a ballet dancer. I stare and in a small scared voice I ask “what am I?”
“A vampire.” I whirl around and stare at parker. “A what?” I see the others retreat and close the door behind them He takes a deep breath and says it all. “You were dying, I needed OT do something, I love you. I was scared I was jerks I don’t want to e kind and loving and compassionate with someone else. I want to be all that to you. I love you and I’m so sorry u thought I hated you. Never doubt that I love you. Please understand, I wouldednt be happy without you.” He looks at me” I want this to work.” He strides over ot me and grabs my hands. He looks into my eyes from a few seconds before leaning down and kissing me. When he kisses me I felt the sparks the love. I held him closer and tangle my hands in his hair jumping and wrapping my legs around his waist. He kisses me deeper and I break away for air. His eyes look abounded and crazy. I unwrap myself from him and take his hand. I lead him towards Te couches. And we sit. He explains to me everything. “I’ve been a vampire since forever, everyone is one we hid it because ewe didn’t wan to tell you just yet. Yove only been here so long we didn’t want to overwhelm you. But I felt your pain, I don’t know and then we had to change you because you were on the verge of death, I couldnent know you were going to live miserable so I wanted to let you die but then Julian convinced me otherwise and I have to go thank him I don’t know how I would of survived.” He looks at me and I smile. “I love you” I whisper. He kisses me then “I love you to, I love you too.” He smiles and stands I stand with him my body still not used OT the gracefulness. I walk with him outside. We walk out to the living room where we find parkers parents on the couch and Damien Julian and Lilia in the kitchen. As we walk out Damien and Julian pull me into a hug and then I saw chocolate and ran to the counter eating a piece. I sigh content. I hear his chuckle and I laugh along. I could live with this life. I’m finally happy.
4 years later.
“Alright class! Next week were going to listen more to the beat than the words okay!” I stare at the6 year old little girl, “and Samantha don’t forget your ballet shoes next time” she nods while running off with her friends. I pack my things up and I walk to my jeep. As I start the engine I hear my phone vibrate and I pull it I see parkers smiling face in the mirror, I drive towards woodland community, and smile as I slow my car to a creep coming up to security at the gate. This community is all made up of abnormal creatures. Dragons, faes, angels, vampires, werewolves, anything you can think of it here. I wave at Dan in the gate house as he buzzes me in and I drive up my huge driveway towards parkers and I house. Mansion I should say. Clara let’s just say doesn’t like small houses. I get out of the car and towards the house front entrance when I see parkers Lexus cruise up behind my jeep.” Hey” I say as I open the door.” Hey how was work?” he replies walking in behind me and kissing my neck wrapping his arms around me from behind. I laugh and reply “good, good.” Parker and I both teach at the same school, parker as a social studies teacher me as a English teacher. While after school I run a dance studio for classes and parker has a musical ability I found out about a few years ago. Give him an instrument and he’ll play beautifully and his voice was like velvet soft and smooth. I smile and get out of his arms walking towards the kitchen, “what shall we have for dinner?” He shrugs. “Well it has to be something good because ei have some news you might want to hear!” his head whips towards mine” ohm what is it?” he says. I laugh “you’ll have to wait a few hours.” I shiver as I feel the cold from outside come in god I hate November its always chilly. I look at parker to find a mysterious glint in his eyes. “Are you cold?” he whispers in my ear?” I nod. I look at him “ I have to grade papers for Monday.” He smiles slyly “well we have the weekend don’t we I had some better plans.” He turns me around and kisses me I kiss him back as he picks me up and takes me towards the bedroom.
At around 6 we wake up and I see parker asleep his chest visible from underneath the blankets. I smile and I grab a robe and walk into the bathroom and shower. I grab some black sweats and a purple long sleeved shirt as I slip my feet onto uGu slippers. I walk downstairs and order pizza. Half pepperoni and half cheese. I’m sitting in the living room picking something up when I feel his presence in the room. I straighten up and I smile at him. He smiles back and I see he’s showered and is wearing some sweats and a t-shirt. “I ordered pizza” I say throwing a cushion that fell from the couch onto the couch. “Cool I love pizza” he shrugs. “What was the news you wanted to tell me?” Right then I hears the doorbell ring and I run to answer it paying the kid I walk towards the den and pop in some movie. Parkers sitting there eat a slice of pizza when I drop the bomb on him. “How do you like kids?” He shrugs “they’re cute, and I love them when they’re nice and not jerks like tom form my class. I swear his mommas gonna have to like do something.” I nod. “Would you ever actually like kids?” he nods, “yeah I’d love to have some half vampire half angel kids running around this house.” He looks at me” why do you ask?” I swallow a piece of pizza and take a deep breath “because I’m pregnant.” I wait for the shock but that never comes a huge smile forms on his face. He stands up and runs towards me hugging me to the ground laugh. “So I take it your happy?” he laughs and nods. “are yo kidding me id love to have my own son or daughter, I mean Julian and Lilia have a one year old already and Damien and shara have one on the way in 2 months I’m so happy, I’m gonna be a daddy” I smile relieved. “Well yeah I’m like 12 weeks in already um I think 4 month in a week.” He smiles and calls his parents. He tells everyone’s going to have diner here that he and I had some news. He then calls his brothers ad we all agree to 7 pm tomorrow night. We sit down and he asks if I know what gender it is. I laugh and tell him loving the face he pulls when I say feternal twins, one a boy one a girl. He gets even more excited. We decide we were going to use the 2 rooms next to each other next to ours. I fall asleep cuddled against parkers arm.
In the morning parker heads towards home depot. He comes home at around 11 in the mooring with pain supplies and green and blue pain and green and a purple magenta color. He paints the girls room first making it a light magenta. He then paints half of the boys room a deep blue like the sky, at around 5 he finishes both room and goes in to shower. In the kitchen making diner I haven’t been able to see the rooms but I trust him. I hear him walk downstairs in some jeans and a nice blue colored shirt barefoot and I walk upstairs, telling him not to eat anything, to shower. He nods and I get into the shower and I wash my hair. I comb it out and I leave it to dry as I wear my nice light purple dress with the leggings underneath I add some diamond studs and this amulet parker gave me at our honeymoon in Paris. I stay barefoot and I walk downstairs finding parker stuffing a cookie in his mouth. I laugh and playfully smack his arm “what did I say!” he swallows and kisses me “I love you” he whispers and I laugh back “I know.” I’m setting the table as the door rings. I hear parker open the door and then I hear Lilia and Damien’s voice. Shara walks in her huge belly covered in a maternal floral shirt. “Hey” I remark as she sits down and grabs a cookie, she laughs “hey pregnant women get an advantage here.” Soon afterword’s Julian and Lilia get here leaving Tammy sleeping in her car seat in front of the chimney so she wouldn’t get cold. When parkers parents get here we all sit down to eat he lasagna and the vegetable casserole Lilia loves so much. We keep the conversation going avoiding out news until we go inot the living room for cookies and hot Chocó or a beer for the men, I’m sitting in the loveseat when Clara finally asks “ what the hell is the news I’m about to pee my pants with anxiety. We all laugh and parker grabs my hand I smile reassuringly. Parker the one that speaks. ““Violet is pregnant 12 weeks already, there feternal twins a boy and a girl.” Clara gasps and smiles. Lilia and shara congratulate me and we continue this whole conversation. By the time 9 o clock comes around everyone starts heading home. I smile.
5 months later.
I walk into the house late April and I feel a immense sharp pain in my stomach. I gasp and I start breathing and counting. I call parker and tell him OT comes home now. He had to be dissmed the class before getting home. It was April 24 at 12 in the morning he was probably in a class. 15 minutes later he comes speeding home and I yell at him to get me my bags and to go to the car. I waddle over towards Te car and enter the front seat breathing deeply. We drive towards the hospital and there we get taken to the labor unit were I am declared one month premature and in labor.
A few hours later at 2:45 and at 3:10 in the afternoon on April 25 C.J Samuel brokler and scarlet Isabel brokler were born. Parker was holding Adam and I was holding scarlet. I’m exhausted and tired so after a few hours of learning the basics I sleep. A few days later parker drives me home. As I walk upstairs with the two in my arms parker bringing their baby bags in his arms the rest of the family following close behind. I enter scarlet’s room and smile. Her name painted in light white on one wall. I place her in the crib and then walk into C.J room and smile aswel his name on the opposite wall aswel. I place him in his crib and I walk inot the room next to it our room. I change into some pjs marveling at how thin I stayed. I shrug and pad towards the bed falling asleep immediately.
A few months later I declared they were good enough for me to go out with them. They were quit they didn’t cry unless they want something. I pack the baby bags and put the two kid stroller in the trunk. I strap them into the babysits and drive to the mall. At the mall I’m sitting at the food court when parker arrives for lunch. He grabs scarlet and starts playing with her. I laugh and throw a French fry at him. She giggles. As I stand up to get a napkin I sit down and wipe some saliva off scarlet’s mouth when I hear his voice. “Violet?” I look back and I see David there with Sammy behind him holding hands. I pick up C.J and give him to parker taking scarlet and placing her in my lap. I look up then and look them. “Hello David, Sammy.” They look at me then at parker and I entwined hands and the kids in our arms. David smirks “are those your kids?” I smile lightly and nod. “Yeah this is scarlet and that’s C.J I put violet in her stroller seeing that she asleep. I stand and hug Sammy even though I feel the shock she puts her arms around me. They sit down and I figure out Sammy and David is engaged. Sammy working as a therapist and David a tech person. I answer when they ask “um both parker and I are teachers and after school I teach dance and performing arts school and parker teach music and is coach for the school’s football team. I am on maternity leave right now but was good. How bout you Sammy David were you guys living?” they look at me and smile “we just moved into woodland community.” I tense up. “Wait that must mean...” they nod and smile slight fangs glistening in their mouths. I laugh and I feel parker put his arm around me. A few minutes later, parker has to go back to school to go coach. “Bye parker, dinner at your parents tonight at 5 so doesn’t get home late.” He smiles and nods. He kisses me and grabs his sweatshirt, “love you will see you later okay.” I nod “Kay oh by the way you need to buy more baby formula, thanks hon. love you.” I laugh. He smiles and kisses my head before saying goodbye to Sammy and David and kissing the kids forehead before exiting the mall. I turn towards Sammy finding them smiling. “So I guess you found your true love.” I nod “yeah, parkers great it’s going great he already wants more kids,” I laugh. Violet wakes up crying and I notice I’ve been out more than a few hours. I grab my shopping bags and give Sammy and David my number and address telling them to come over that night for dinner before heading towards the car strapping the kids in and driving home. I arrive around 2.30 I put Scarlett in bed and C.J in his crib. I walk downstairs making sure I don’t make any noise and clean up the living room and the kitchen. I put in chicken in the oven and I put potatoes in wrapped tin foil, placing them next to the stove I walk upstairs to shower my babies and get them dressed. I peek inot C.Js room to find him asleep and Scarlett was crying in her crib. I rush over and pick her up. Grabbing the baby monitor for C.Js room and scarlet’s towel, I walk inot there adjourning bathrooms. I shower scarlet smiling when she starts splashing and giggling. A few minutes later I tuck her inot her towel and I check on the still sleeping C.J, walking back to scarlet’s room I change her inot a cute purple shirt and small leggings to go over the diaper. I smile and put a little purple head band in her slowly growing black hair. Her eyes my eyes color green with a hint of grey, it’s beautiful. I hear C.J wake up through the baby monitor and I put Scarlett in her play pen by the bathroom door and shower C.J. C.J has his father’s green eyes. A light green blue with hazel specks in them I smile as I hear the door open downstairs. I hear parker drop his bag at the kitchen table and hear him open the riffregieraator. He walks up the steps and I hear him walk into scarlet’s room and snuggle with her. He then walk over to the bathroom and kisses me on the neck, tickling C.J. I look up at him I motion for him to go on his knees and when he’s there I place C.J in his hands and tell him to finish. He laughs and rinses his son off. Grabbing the towel he follow s me into C.J s room. I dress him in baby jeans with nice dark blue shirt. I check on Scarlett and pick her up. We walk down stairs and I place scarlet and C.J in there play pen watching the giggles. I walk into the kitchen checking on the food and preparing the salad. As I finish diner parker showered and came down with some dark wash jeans and a nice white button down cutoff shirt. I nod aprovement. “Okay you’re going to stay with the kids while I shower. Got that. “I smile. He smiles. “Yeah yeha. Do you want me to cook aswel?” I laugh and throw the dish towel at him. He hugs me and I kiss his check. I walk upstairs and shower. I walk into the bedroom and put on a black pencil shirt with a green long sleeved shirt with some black stilettos. I add some faint green eyeshadow some blush and let my hair dry naturally. I apply some lipstick and walk downstairs. I walk into the living room and sit besides parker who was holding c.j in his hands; I smile and tickle c.j under the chin. “So how do I look?” parker looks up and I see it in his eyes. He responds “As beautiful as ever.” I smile and kiss him. I go and set the table. As I finish setting the center piece I hear the doorbell ring. I open it and find David and Sammy. I soon realize Sammy has a baby in her arms and I invite them in. “oh who is this? “ I look up at Sammy. She smiles brightly. As we walk into the living room parker and David handshake and immediate talks about football and some other man stuff. “Violet this is my 5 month daughter, renesme.” I laugh and hold her. The baby girl smiles and I see she’s beautiful. I hand her back her kid and look at Sammy “so did you find the place okay? “ Sammy laughs. “We live a block away” I look at her and smile. We put the kids in their baby seat laughing and joking. Eating the dinner with great ease. I smile at myself as I see parker making friends with David and I see the happiness of it all.
After going through some examinations at the woodland hospital that Scarlett is actually a angel/vampire from my side of the family. And C.J was a vampire because e parker’s father’s gene was to be a vampire but it changed at birth and parker was supposed OT become a vampire but when he was born it all changed. I sat there staring. “Part angel/vampire? From where?” the doctor laughs. “Violet you never knew this I guess but you are an angel, your past father and mothers were angels and vampire from your father’s gene.” I look at him and nod. In the car ride home parker looks at me and frowns “are you okay?” I smile and nod. “Yes, surprisingly yes, I’m an angel legit angel my daughter is an anger and my son is a vampire.” I smile and place my hand on his. He smiles and kisses my palm keeping his eyes on the road.
Sammy and David ad our family started spending more time together. The kids were growing up together and parker and David were best friends because of football and his teaching.
16 years later.
C.J scarlet and renesme are now 16 year of age. Their parents turning 41/42.
C.J s point of
“Scarlet if you’re not down here in 3 min I am leaving with renesme without you. “ I yell upstairs. “C.J stops yelling at your sister. She’s going to take longer on purpose, I was the same way.” I hear mom shout through the kitchen. I laugh and walk into the kitchen to find my dad kissing my mom’s neck and she giggling. Is that even possible? I smile and grab the money from the counter grabbing scarlet’s pack back and shoving the 20 inot a pocket. I say goodbye to my parents and walk into the living room to say good bye to my little twin sisters, mia and faie. They turn 6 next week. I kiss their foreheads and stare at their angelic beauty. Of corse they come out as angel vampires just like there sister and angel just like their mother. They giggle and I tickle them even more. “By I’ve got football practice I’ll be home late!” I shout just as Scarlett walks down the steps. “Finally I say” and I hear renesme giggle. “Girl you’re an angel you don’t need so much time to get pampered.” Renesme then stands up almost falling. “Whoa” I steady her “you okay?” she nods her smile forced and stands up. I smile and we all exit the car. It’s the first day of twelfth grade and we have to get there early. Renesme and scarlet have cheerleading practice and I have to drive them. As we get to woodland high school home to the panther, our school colors red and black, I park and renesme and scarlet jump out of the car eager to get there. I take my keys out of the ignition and step out of the car. I walk up to the front of the car and join renesme and Scarlett. As we walk inot he school I can faintly smell renesme perfume. Her hair smells like strawberries and she smells wonderful. I shake my head free of the thought. No I talk to myself. She’s my bestfreind. I tune back in as I hear scarlet screaming to me. “Renesme, what’s wrong with her?” I look at her and back to renesme who is now next to her locker on the floor her eyes closed and her breathing faint. I gasp at the sight of her and run.
Renesme pov.
I knew it was coming for me. I had the nausea and the dizziness this morning. I was going to be changed. I have to choose today either vampire or werewolf. I cannot be both. The power is weakening. The werewolf blood is overwhelming and it’s mixing. If I don’t choose I’m going to die because ei ll turn and my blood will mix. As I walk into the school I look around and I decide to become a vampire, my parents are vampires, and C.J a vampire. I don’t like being a dog. I sigh and open my door. The thought running through my head. Before thinking I mumble. “I chose to be a vampire.” I feel a cold rush hit me and knock the breath out of me. My veins started to hurt and I fell to the ground unconciess. As I hear the world around me I see blackness, I fell my body slowly lifting me from the ground and floating. I then close my eyes and levee the world.
C.j pov
We run her to the nurse and I set her on the cot. Scarlett and I stay for a few minutes. We then have to go to first period. As I walk out I look back and see her, she looks peaceful.
One hour later.
I walk toward the nurse to check on renesme. I see her sit up as I walk inot the room shaking her head. “Renesme!” I call out striding to her side. She looks at me and squints trough her glasses. She takes them off and stuffs them in her pocket. She smiles and that’s when I see them. The fangs extracting from her red kissable mouth. Fangs glistening. New fangs. I look at her and I cock my head to the side. “What?” she smiles and small dimples come up next to her beautiful mouth. Her hair long o her waist just like Scarlett’s hangs in loose black ringlets. Her silver eyes glistening with new hope. “I chose to be a vampire” her voice soft and beautiful. Smooth and addictive. I look at her glowing beauty. As I walk up to her I smile at her as she tries to find her book bag which is in my hand. “Oh “she says when she looks at my hand. She walks over none clumsily and takes the bag; I shake the erge to kiss her pink lips. She smiles and I nod. “So what about your glasses?” she laughs. “I guess I don’t need them anymore. “She looks through her bag and pulls out a small bag. She then extracts the dark red heart amulet that she has since she was 5. She ties it around her neck, the black rope holding the heart in place choking her neck. He amulet glows momentarily and she smiles lightly with her eyes close. She then opens her eyes and slips her bag on her shoulder. Holding out her hand I take it as normally and we walk out of the nurse office. As we walk down the hallway she marveling at how perfect things feel, she can see perfectly and she loves the feeling of being so powerful, when Scarlett comes running down the hallway and stops in front of renesme shocked at her new appearance. Renesme was pretty, cute, hot when she was “human” she is now what I called beautiful, breathtaking, and marvelous. I feel renames hand being ripped from mine as Scarlett runs her towards their cheerleading buddies. I stare after them. “Dude you are in love” I feel Sam clasp my shoulder. I laugh. “What no… I don’t think love exist. I’ve repeated this.” I hear him laugh and I can almost hear him rolling his eyes. We start walking to 8th period I noticing that he kept staring at Scarlett. I laugh and hit his sholer. “Looks who talking. Someone’s in love with my sister.” she laughs and blushes a deep red. Who knew Scarlett was able to tame the biggest player in our school. I frown. “no.” he frowns at that. “Dude why not, I could ask her to the dance in December. Ill respect. I’m seriously not looking for another toy. Don’t know she brings the good in me. I don’t know, please dude if hurt her I give u permission to hurt and beat me up.” He looks at me pleading. I look at him then back at my sister laughing in the sunlight. I grin slightly. “Fine, but I will beat your ass if she comes home one day crying because of you.” He smiles and pats my back” no problem. Now to the library” I laugh as we walk along the hallway.
In the first week of November, renesme came through the door yelling hello to everybody and running upstairs towards Scarlett room. I’m in my bedroom practicing guitar when she passes by. I hear her open the door and thrown her stuff in the closet she then slams the door and comes inot my room by the adjoining bathroom. She jumps on my bed as she waits for Scarlett to come home from softball team. She lies on her back and plays with the hair at the nape of my neck as I strum my guitar. We sit in silence for a few minutes when I lay down my left arm crossed being my head my right holding her by the waist. She starts playing with my hand when she asks “Sam asked Scarlett out today. I’m worried, should I be worried” I smile at her worried expression her face turned up to my face, her silver eyes big and worried. “Nah, he asked me first and he actually relay likes her, I’m shocked, she tamed the biggest player. He did though give me permission to beat him up if she comes home crying so were good there.” She smiles. She cuddles next to my side. Her head still on my chest my arm still around her. As she has her eyes closed I inhale her scent her strawbeeys scent. I hear the door slam downstairs and I see Scarlett whiz past us a few minutes alter I hear the shower press on and the curtain close. I get up softly and walk to the center of my room. I have a huge wall made of mirrors and I turned my lights off, Scarlett watching cursorily. I sit and I stare at the moon, my eyes big and in awe. I hear her gentle steps towards me and she sits on my lap, and I automatically lock my arms around her and place my chin on her shoulder. Her face turns towards me and as the moon lights us sitting there on my floor I lean down and kissed my bestfreind. We didn’t get very far considering Scarlett came inot my room wearing her sweats and pick tank top like renesme, her hairs wet and she has a shocked face. “Holy crap!” she starts squealing ad renesme and I separate, I end up sitting across the room a renesme pulling the squealing Scarlett out of the room/ “shut up!” I hear her say. I sit there dumbfounded. I look towards Scarlett room her door closed. I run to my closet and tug my vans on and jacket running out the door to my car I sped towards Sam’s house. I greet his parents and run upstairs were I find shim drawing at his desk “I just kissed renesme” I blurt out as I entered the room. Her gets up and looks at me. “Well congrats dude.” I huff out I frustration. “That’s all. I admit I love her then kiss her and all you can do is congrats. Well congragts on my sister. “ He laughs. “Calm down your just nervous because let me guess Scarlett walked in she started screaming squealing whatever the hell it is they do and then u ran here?” I shake my head, “how the hell in mercy did you know that?” He laughs and I shake my head once again. I wait until I know Scarlett and renesme have left to go to dance class to head back home. As I walk into the house I find mia and faie watching the little mermaid. As I bend down to say hello faie looks at me with questionly eyes. “Why can’t we have mermaid power?”” I laugh,” you guys are way prettier than any, mermaid. She smiles pleased with my answer. I start up the steps until I hear my mother call my name.
I’ll be adding more! Sorry it took forever to add
