Chapter 1: You're The Darkness, Tate

(POV: Tate)

"GO AWAY, TATE!"

"No! Violet what are you saying?"

"I used to think you were like me. You were attracted to the darkness. But, Tate you are the darkness."

"No! That's what I used to be, until you came."

"GO AWAY!"

"Please, Violet."

"GET OUT!"

"YOU'RE ALL I WANT! YOU'RE ALL I HAVE!"

"I love you Tate, but I can't forgive you."

"Violet…"

I really fucked things up. I mean, I'm used to being a fuck-up. But, this is the blackest depths of rock bottom. I can't believe the things I've done. I can't blame her, I would hate me too if I were in her shoes. I killed people, innocent people. I set my fucking stepdad on fire and raped Violet's mother. I'm a monster, a cold-blooded monster. Why did I do such terrible things? I don't know why I did these things; I just don't get it at all. I know that there is no excuse for my past behaviors and I wish I could undo what has been done. But, I can't. I fucking hate myself, I hate everything about myself. I don't know what to do anymore, I just don't. All I know is that I am completely in love with Violet and that she was the only good thing in this never-ending hellhole. But, she's long gone and I don't think she's coming back to me. I fucked things up so bad and there are no ways to make amends. I deserve this; I don't deserve to be happy. But, Violet deserves so much more. Violet deserves to have love and happiness, she shouldn't be alone. But, I did this to her, I ruined everything for her. I can't have that, not for her. I just want her to be happy, that's all. That's all I want, nothing more. She means everything to me and I can't let her suffer forever like all the other spirits. She needs someone who can give her everything that I couldn't.

In fact, I can make sure that it happens.

I'll do whatever it takes.

Besides, desperate times call for desperate measures.
