Murder House 2

Chapter 4

Only about a minute after I hopped into my bed Tate appeared in the doorway. Water was still

dripping from his curly blond hair and something about seeing made my heartbreak. I had

planned on Tate reliving all of his murders, but not my mothers rape, ew. But seeing him being

tortured made me weak and made me not want to hurt him, because I love him. "Violet, what's

wrong?" he asked me. By now tears were running down my face and I didn't want to see him.

"Come on Vi, what happened down there, what are you thinking about?" he continued to question

me. "You." I replied dryly. "Well, I'm flattered but something tells me it's not good." he says. "No

Tate, it's not good. I love you and want to be with you." Tate walked over and sat next to me on my

bed. "Then let's just be together Vi." "It's not that simple Tate, I do love you, but I hate you at the

same time for what you did. And I guess I thought seeing you pay for what you did would make me

feel better but I couldn't stand seeing you in pain. I'm just so confused." We sat in silence for a

moment thinking, most likely about each other. Tate finally broke the silence, "Violet, look at me."

I looked up into his eyes and immediately felt comfort. With the million things running through

my head I could only think of Tate. "I know you hate me for what I did and I will never stop

apologizing or being sorry, but we have to move past it somehow. I can't stand being apart from

you anymore. I'd do anything to make it up to you for what I did in the past, which is why I'm

confused right now. Why did you tell Chad to stop?" he asked. Listening to Tate made me forget

what had just happened downstairs, and now suddenly remembering what I did made my stomach

drop. "I don't know why I made him do that to you in the first place." Now thinking about what I

did, it all seems so stupid. I love Tate, which means I have to love everything about him, good or

bad. I mean yes I'll never forget he raped my mom, but he's right, we can't be apart from each

other forever. "Ya you did bad things, but all couples have to move past hard times, right?" I

answered. Oh, so now we're a couple again?" Tate asked with a grin. "No Tate, to be a couple again

I have to trust you again. So Let's just start with being friends."
