This is for Angel, because I felt like writing her a oneshot. I'm sorry if the ending isn't too delightful, no matter how hard I tried, it came out the same...lol. I hope you enjoy it anyways:) Please read and review and Angel (Edgeismyhero1217) owns Violet. I own nothing.

Never really said too much
Afraid it wouldn't be enough
Just try to keep my spirits up
When there's no point in grieving
Violet's long-held gasp passed her lips as she looked into the deep, chocolate brown eyes she immediately identified as Shane's. He held her pressed against the car, lips barely hovering over her ear as he quietly begged her to stay. She hadn't said much about her departure, she didn't want to cause a scene, but lately it seemed that causing a scene was what she did best. The young woman had tried to remain as calm and collected as possible to keep her spirits up so no one would become suspicious.
Doesn't matter anyway
Words can never make me stay
Words will never take my place
When you know I'm leaving
Another reason she didn't tell anybody was because she didn't want them to go out of their way to try and make her stay. She didn't want them to try and make the impossible actually possible. It would hurt them, and she couldn't stand her family disintegrating any longer. After all, the only way to solve a problem was to eliminate the problem and by leaving, that is what she believed she'd be doing.
So she stayed silent as Shane pleaded and begged her not to leave. After he was done she just slowly shook her head as the tears she had tried so hard to delay had finally ran down her cheeks. At that moment, she knew he knew. Nothing he could say would change her mind. Nothing he could do would change her mind. For the first time, she was leaving and wouldn't contact anybody.
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night, a naked light
A fire to keep me warm
Violet just hoped that they'd never forget about her. She prayed that they'd never let the last glow of hope diminish. If it was the one thing she hoped for the most, it was that she hoped they'd keep that light of hope burning. It would become her guiding light home and she knew she'd be able to feel it's intensity. Their hope was her fire, the one thing that could keep her warm.
You know we've been down that road
What seems a thousand times before
My back to a closing door
And my eyes to the seasons
That roll out underneath my heels
And you don't know how bad it feels
To leave the only one
That I have ever believed in
She had been this way many times, way too many for her own personal liking. Once again, she had her back turned to a closed door; the door to her future with Shane. Since she had left, time moved by so slowly, yet so quickly all at once. Seasons passed and unbeknownst to her, people moved on. Yet, they didn't know, he didn't know that she was leaving the only one she had ever believed in. The one that helped her when she fell and had been her steady shoulder for many years. Shane.
Sometimes it feels like we've run out of luck
When the signal keeps on breaking up
When the wires cross in my brain
You'll stab my heart again when I come along, yeah
After three months of dialing his number just to hang up seconds later, after three months of being without her true love, after three months of wondering why every relationship she had eventually faded, she came home. Deep in her heart, she sensed change. It seemed the mental connection she believed she hsared with Shane had disconnected itself. This troubled her a little, seeing as how she came back for him, among other things.
So, she began searching the entire arena and as she was beginning to think about giving up her search, she found him. He was standing there, smiling at the person in front of him. Her mind began to race, thinking about who the person could possibly be. She made out the feminine features and the fact that he was not talking to a Diva…no. Shane was leaning down and brushing a lock of hair behind the woman's ear. He was leaning in and softly connecting his lips to the blonds. That's when she knew it was Jamie.
A soft, but audible gasp caught the couple's attention and she shook her head as tears rolled down her cheeks. Shane looked guilty while Jamie had the smuggest grin carved into her face. He seemed like he was going to say something, but just stayed quiet. He had stabbed her heart, just like all the others
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it's late at night you can look inside
You won't feel so alone
That had been the final straw. It was over now, the fire had died out. Now late at night, you could look inside Violet Pierce and see her lonely and cold heart. Even though she was alone, she couldn't help but be glad that Shane wasn't. Shane had found somebody because she wasn't there. She couldn't blame him. He kept the light on, she just turned it off.
