Alright so this is my first Violate fanfic, but I feel it's going to turn out pretty good. I've put a lot of thought into it and tried to make the characters stay in character. So I hope you all enjoy it.

Violet laid there still and quiet. Her whole room was quiet. No music played, no drawings being made, and she wasn't talking to herself like she usually does.

This was the 8th day she had barely left her room. She only left to go play with Beau for an hour every couple of days. She didn't know why he continued to stay up in that attic. He was dead. He could go anywhere. She thought it was probably because he felt safe up there. Away from the other ghosts who would look at him weird.

Violet loved Beau. He was so sweet and gentle. Yeah he looked different, but he would never hurt someone on purpose. All he wanted to do with his eternity was roll around that little red ball. And it amazed Violet how easily he could be entertained or cheered up. He had a simple 'life', and she was happy he did what he loved and nothing more.

Now a days Violet wished she could be easily pleased with what she had. She no longer had responsibilities, or worries, or troubles, but damn was she bored. She missed school, people, and even just being able to walk across the street! She had nothing to do, no one to hang out with, and it was torture to be laying there.

"Violet?" her mother, Vivien, called as she gently knocked on the door.

"Yeah." Violet answered back, and her mom came into her room.

"Are you alright honey?" Vivien asked, sitting at the edge of the bed.

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Well, you don't seem fine. You haven't come to see me, or your father, or Jeffery. You don't eat or anything."

"I'm a ghost I don't need to eat."

"But you love the muffins Constance makes."

"Yeah, but I just haven't felt like eating."

"Sweetie, just tell me what's wrong."

Violet sighed, "I'm just bored, Mom."

"Oh honey, why don't you find something to do? It's a big house there had to be more to explore."

"After eight years, not really."

"Well, then go hang out with the others."

"Three of them tried to kill us, the two gays always fight, the original owners hide all the time, the maids are so depressing, and that ashy family is kind of creepy to look at. Travis would be cool, but you can't have an intellectual conversation with him. Hayden is hates me. And yeah almost everyone else in this house is boring."

"Almost." Her mother said, giving her a look.

"Just say whatever it is." Violet groaned.

"I seem to recall you never got bored with Tate." Vivien raised her eyebrows.

"Really, Mom? Really? You are eve suggesting that? You? Of all people."

"I have long stopped holding a grudge against Tate. Yes it was his baby that killed me, but he was only trying to help Nora. And in the end I did get my baby." Vivien smiled.

"Well, I won't forgive him like that. He doesn't deserve it. I don't want to be with him again." Violet crossed her arms and pouted.

"Who said anything about being with him?" Vivien sighed. "Forgiving him doesn't mean he is automatically your boyfriend, not even a friend! He doesn't have to be anything to you."

"Well, he'll want to."

"It's not up to him. He is lucky that you even talked to him. He shouldn't expect you to want to pick up where you two left off."

"I guess, but I don't think I can yet."

"Well, that's fine. Besides you don't have to forgive him to hang out with him."

Violet frowned, "What do you mean?"

"You can just explain to him that you are only spending time with him because you are that bored. You can completely use him, and trust me, he'll let you. He's so serious about just being able to stand in your presence that he'll beg for you to use him."

"So, I just say 'Hey I hate you still, but I'm so bored that I want to hang out with you.'?"

"Pretty much." Violet sat and thought. "You don't have to," Vivien continued, "but you could."

With that Vivien got up and smiled as she closed Violet's door. Violet plopped her head down on the pillows and stared up to the ceiling. Her mom had a point, and it didn't sound too bad, but she wasn't sure about letting Tate near her again. He had some type of power over her. Whenever he would stare at her, which was always, she wanted to go up to him and slap him, but then kiss him so hard. It was completely confusing.

She decided to not think about it much tonight, and just sleep on the idea. While she was leaning towards no, she kind of hoped after tonight it would be a yes.

So pretty short, but it's just to give you an idea of what is happening in Violet's life. Hope you guys liked the start. Tate will enter next chapter!
