Title: Imperfection

Rating: M for later chapters

Pairing: Tate/Violet

Summary: Violet Harmon never wanted the perfect life her parents tried to force on her and when she is sent to live with her uncle Pat and his husband Chad, she meets Tate Langdon; the perfectly imperfect boy of her dreams. AU where there are no ghosts and Tate is alive having not shot up the school yet.

AN: This idea popped in to my mind and since I wanted to do an AU Violate story I figured I would post this and see if anyone liked it. I have no beta reader and because of my illness I usually just post it without checking for mistakes so I apologize if you find a lot of them.

Perfection: A quality, trait, or feature of the highest degree of excellence.

Violet had never met the impossibly high standards her parents set for her and so it came as no surprise when they cornered her during dinner to tell her she would be going to live with her mothers brother Patrick and his husband Chad. The teen girl had been expecting it for a while now ever since she overheard them discussing it after her latest school suspension. Pat was kind of the black sheep of the family nobody really mentioned unless it was to badmouth his life choices or if they wanted something from him. Violet was the only one in the family who actually enjoyed speaking with him and she often wondered if it were due to the fact she was seen as a mistake as well.

Being sent to live with him wasn't really that bad accept for the fact she would have to leave her beloved hometown of Boston and move across the country to L.A. She would never fit in there, not that she really fit in anywhere, but in California she would stick out like a sore thumb and she knew it. All those bikini wearing bitches who only cared about money and who they happened to be wearing. Violet had never been one of those girls nor did she ever want to be. If she had a choice between fitting in and slitting her wrist to watch the pretty designs her blood made on the carpet beneath her feet, slitting her wrists would win every single time. Maybe if she cut to deep her parents would finally get what they wanted; they would know she succeeded at one thing at the very least.

Since she would be leaving anyways, Violet pulled her cigarettes from her pocket as she glared at her parents. They were waiting for her reaction to the news, probably expecting her to beg them to let her stay or feed them bullshit promises about becoming the perfect daughter they always wanted. Fuck that, she would never be their perfect daughter and if they were going to send her away then she would do whatever she could in order to piss them off and that included smoking at the dinner table. Maybe she would get a lucky break and give them lung cancer before she left.

After lighting her smoke, Violet took a few deep puffs before flicking her ash on her half empty plate. "So you're sending me off to uncle Pat huh? It's so funny to me that you hate him because you say he is living in sin and yet both of you are fucking around on each other; mom with the security guy who lives down the street and dad with his student of the week and yet uncle Pat is the sick one because he followed his heart? Tell me Vivian, I mean mom, do you even know who the father of my little brother is? When he's born are you going to call one of those shows to have a paternity test? If you do then let me know so I can watch as you parade each guy you've been fucking around on stage to see if they are going play baby daddy? Oh and Ben, I mean dad, I have been meaning to ask how Hayden is doing since you had her committed and forced her to abort your baby because you didn't want your precious reputation to be tarnished or blemished by your indiscretion."

She paused to take a few more drags off her cigarette and take in the stunned expressions on her parents faces. "I guess I should be thanking you for sending me away before I ended up like either of you."

"We are sending you away to help you Violet!" Ben Harmon had heard enough from his daughter and he would not sit there and listen to her badmouth the decision he and his wife had made. "Do you think this was easy for us? Do you think we wanted to send you to live with your uncle? You gave us no other option!"

Vivian nodded in agreement with what her husband was saying. "Your father is right Violet. You've been getting in to fights at school, when you bother to attend that is and even though you still get straight A's your teachers are concerned with your behavior. Everyone is worried you are depressed and you won;t talk to us. Your father and I feel this is the best option for all concerned-"

Her daughter was quick to cut her off with a scoff and roll of her eyes. "You mean this is best for you guys. You don't care about me; you never have unless I did something to make you look good. If you're making me leave at least have the fucking guts to tell me the truth. I have never been the daughter you wanted me to be. You have never cared about what I want so don;t pretend you care now. I am glad you are going to send me away because if I had to stay here one more day I would probably kill myself. I will say one thing though, I feel bad for my unborn brother and any other kids you may have because if they are anything like me, well they are going to end up with shit parents that;s for sure. Unless you have anymore bullshit to spout, I'm going to my room. I think I;ve had enough family time to make me vomit."

Without waiting to see if her parents had anything to add, Violet stomped up to her bedroom and slammed the door before falling to her bed and letting tears soak her pillow. She really hated her parents sometimes and this was one of those times. Why couldn't they love her just the way she was? Could anyone love her or was she really fucked up to the point that was impossible? The scars on her arms proved she was a little twisted, but little did she know that soon she would come to see that sometimes twisted was its own version of perfection.

AN: This was just the introduction chapter and I plan to try and make each chapter 2000 words at the least. I would love to hear what you all thought and if you have ideas feel free to send them my way.
