Chapters Three

                                    

                                          
Quick A/N: This story won't have a lot of school scenes because all the ones we got were involved with Leah and I imagine this story to be set in 2015-2016 around then. About 4 or 5 years after Violet died so Leah and all her friends are already graduated and shit so yeah. 
Enjoy 💕
                          
      I plopped on my bed with a big sigh. Just got back from my first day of school and it was ass. I never get good grades in school and I dont get bad grades either. C average. I don't hate school but I don't enjoy it, I don't think there is a person who actually enjoys school I try not to get stuck in it. I don't plan on letting 12 crappy years of my hopefully long life ruin the rest of it. My thoughts were interrupted by my mom calling me downstairs.
                          
      "(Y/n) it's for you!" I got off my bed walking down stairs to see my mom in the kitchen talking to a blonde boy in a green and black stripped sweater. "Tate?" He turned around with a smile "that's my name." I glanced at my mom for a second seeing that smug smile on her face before looking back at Tate "why are you here?" I said awkwardly. "Oh should I leave I don't want to be a bother I was just wondering if we could hang ou-" I stopped him "no no I didn't mean- its fine of course we can hang out." He smiled at me before turning back to my mom holding his hand out"it was nice to meet you, Mrs.(y/l/n)." My mom shook his hand replying with "You too, Tate." He turned back around facing me. I gestured him to go first which he did I then followed behind him up the stairs "I'm sure you remember where my rooms is." I say in a joking manner.
                          
        Once we get to my room he was sitting on my bed flipping through one of my books. I was sitting on my desk drawing on a old chalkboard. "Hey, I saw Violet yesterday. She talked to me. It was weird." His eyes quickly snapped my way "what did she say?" I shrugged putting the piece of chalk down before sitting on the bed on front of him "nothing much she we being really vague. Said I couldn't trust you or whatever. I don't understand why she would think I would trust her either." I studied his face once again realizing how beautiful this boy really is. "Oh, well a lot went down between us." Tate said quietly. I nodded slowly "I hope you don't mind me asking but what happened between you guys?" He shrugged "I don't really wanna talk about it." I nodded "that's fine but if you ever need to then my ears are wide open." I said with a big smile. He looked at me smiling. It was quiet for a little while. "So, what song you wanna listen to?" I said trying to break the silence. "You got any Kurt Cobain?"
                          
        Me and Tate listened to some music and talked for a little while. "What are you scared of?" He asked scooting a little closer to me. I looked into his eyes shrugging "I can't name anything right now but a lot. Not as much anymore. I feel safe here. I don't know why but this place is comforting to me. What are you scared of?" He looked down at his hands playing with his fingers "My old therapist said I was scared of rejection. Isn't that bull shit? My therapist was Violets dad. It's crazy he is dead now." I sighed "That must have been really hard for you. But I don't know he might have been right, I mean everyone is at least a little scared of rejection." He looked back at me his eyes darting back and forth between my right and left eye. "How did you move on? From your ex." "It definitely wasn't easy but neither is love I guess. I always thought if you loved someone you could never hurt that person. I guess they just didn't love me the way I loved them. I then realized I'm waayyy to sexy for them anyway they didn't deserve my love." I joked earning a chuckle from Tate "obviously you are. But that's what I said. You never hurt someone you love." Tate said seriously "well Tate all I'm gonna say is you are more than just her. You are your own person and you shouldn't spend your life sulking over her. It will be terrifying to open your heart up again and you will get hurt again but, you know what they say, love hurts. Once you reopen that door it will be easier to heal. It gets easier with time." He nodded slowly making eye contact with me for a few minutes not saying anything. I felt my heart skip a beat before I looked away "you look good in green." I say trying to make some conversation. I felt the bed shift as Tate does "t-thanks." He said awkwardly. The uncomfortable silence came back. "We have some games on the Playstation if you wanna go play." He looked at me confused "a play what?" I looked at him confused "you don't know what a Playstation is? You don't know how to play minecraft? We have a ps3 my dad might get a ps4 soon." He shrugged "I heard of minecraft never played" I gasped dramatically "Oh brother you are missing out come on I'll teach you how to play." I grab his hand practically dragging him down to what used to be an office that now has a couch and 2 smaller chairs with a coffee table in front of a TV. A book shelf full of board games and cards and ps3 games. Tate sat on the couch as I ran to the book shelf grabbing the disc for minecraft. After putting the game I'm I sat with Tate giving him player 2 controller "I'm player one my guy." I said with a big smile
                          
         After a while Tate finally got the hang of it still needing some help with building recipes and trying to tell the difference between lapis and Diamond ore. Or just what the different ores are.
                          
         "Tate that's still lapis." I said as I looked at his side of the screen to see a dark blue ore after he claimed to find diamonds again. "Oh" He said quietly with a small smirk. "(Y/n) I am almost done can you come set up the table?" I heard my mom call from the other room. "Yeah mom one sec." I replied logging off. "I guess I should go now." Tate said standing up." Slightly towering over me (sorry if you are like 6'10 imagine Tate is 6'13 jrkdkkf) "well if your mom wouldn't mind I'm sure my parents would let you stay for dinner." I said walking to the kitchen Tate following me. "You sure?" He asked I nodded yes in response. "Hey, mom can Tate stay for dinner?" I asked as we got to the kitchen. "As long as it's okay with his parents." I walked over to the cabinets grabbing a few plates. "It's fine I'm pretty sure she forgets I exist half the time." Tate said standing behind me reaching to grab some cups as me and my mom exchange a 'oh shit' glance. Me and Tate then finished setting the table my mom putting the food on the table at the perfect time as my dad gets back from work. "Hello, my girls." My dad says kissing my moms forehead then ruffling my hair. His eyes then setting on Tate "now you aren't one of my girls." Tate laughed "I'm Tate (Y/n)'s friend." Tate reached his hand out before my dad grabs it quite firmly shaking it "Jonathan. You're joining us for dinner?" Tate nods slipping his hand from my dads shaking it kinda which I for some reason found adorable and had a big smile on my face. Bro (Y/n) quit fawning over some heart broken boy you just met. 
                          
       Dinner was fine. We all talked for a while then after we helped clean up then Tate left. Now I'm on my bed reading a book before going to bed. I then get a feeling someone is watching me. I look around slightly. I'm scared to get out of bed from the thought that something might grab my ankle as I do so. Just grow a pair you'll be fine. I slowly get out of bed locking my window then closing the curtains. I tip toe to my door closing it as well before I do I see a glimpse of a black and green sweater. Sticking my head out looking up and down the hall before quietly muttering "Tate?" After a second of nothing happening I close my door locking it shaking it off. Maybe I'm just thinking about him to much. Before I can finish turning around I hear "BOO." Tate jumps at me slightly "HOLY FUCK." I scream jumping backwards my back colliding with the door. Tate laughs as I grab my heart that is now beating ferociously. "What the hell is wrong with you. You almost gave me a heart attack." I whisper yell at him. I then hear the handle of my door wiggle then there is a knock "(Y/n)? Are you okay? What happened?" I look at Tate motioning for him to hide. Openings the door I see my mom and dad woth worried looks "i-im fine I just dropped a book on my door. It hurt like a bitch." My mom them sighed out of relief "you scared the shit out of me. Also you know I don't like cursing." Me and my dad look at her confused as she glances between us before leaving. "Be careful next time. And uh watch your language I think." My dad says before following my mom. I close the door locking it glaring at Tate who is giggling in the corner. I sit on my bed as he does (I almost put dies instead of does and im just imagining all that then he just straight up dies... again) the same. "Why are you here?" I ask him. He shrugs looking at my book shelf "I don't know I just didn't want to go home I guess." I nodded "well that doesn't explain why you decided to scare the living shit out of me." Tate chuckled "that was just for fun." Tates smile then dropped slightly "Can I stay here for the night? I can sleep on the floor." I looked at the door then back at him. His expression was hard to read. Kinda sad, angry, lost. I felt bad. "Sure you just have to sneak out the window if you can in the morning." He nodded "deal." I smiled "but uh could you close your eyes or turn around so I can get dressed?"
