Name: Sydney Cassidy HarmonAge: 18Bio: Sydney is Violet's older sister and daughter to Vivien and Ben Harmon. She was transferred to a boarding school for the troubled in Washington State. She got in trouble for pulling a prank on one of thee girls and the girl got hurt so she was sent there by her parents. She developed a good relationship with a boy who also went there, Gale Parker. Soon they became romantically involved and she told her sister Violet over the phone but then she was told that her father was caught cheating and they were moving to Los Angeles. She was transferred out and went to go live with her family. She promised to visit her boyfriend when she could.
I pulled up to the house in my black sedan. It looked like a house that belonged in a horror movie or was once a former resident to the Adams Family. I got out of my car and walked up to the front door. It was unlocked. I smiled.
I entered the house and walked up a bit to see my mother in the kitchen. "Mom." I said as she turned around and smiled. She rushed over and gave me a hug. "Sydney." She said as she gave me a big hug. "It's Cassidy now after what happened." I told her. After the incident I changed my name to Cassidy, my middle name. I didn't want to be harassed and be an out cast after what I did. Of course I told my boyfriend Gale and he admired what I did. The girl needed to be taught a lesson. My mom was mad at first but she got over it. She never loved me less though. "Where is Dad and Violet?" I asked her. "Your Father is in the study and Violet is in her room. Your room is all fixed up and I will bring in your suitcases in okay?" My mom asked. "Okay. Thanks mom. I will go visit dad and Violet.
I went into the hall and found my way to the study. I opened the door and saw my dad sitting in a chair. "Dad?" I asked. He turned around in his chair and smiled. He got up and gave me a hug. "Hey Kiddo. Where'd you get those piercings?" He asked me."In Washington on my birthday last month." I told him. I got my nose pierced and snake bites but they were studs. I never liked the rings. My mother already knew about them because she sent me the birthday money to do what ever I want and I got snake bites and my nose pierced.
I looked past my father to see that he had a patient. He had blond hair and dark eyes. He was kind of pale too. I returned my eyes on my father. "Well what do I call you now?" He joked.
"Cassidy, remember?" I asked him. He chuckled. "Well I have a patient but we will talk later." He told me. "Okay dad. I'm going to go see Violet." I told him as I exited the study. He returned to his chair and I lingered outside the study for a moment. "Your daughter is quite beautiful." His patient said."Tate, she is off limits." My dad told me. I rolled my eyes. My dad couldn't control who I talked to. He is so over protective of me sometimes.
I went upstairs and I saw the silhouette of someone by the bathroom by the sink. I opened the door and closed it. I saw Violet cutting herself. I was always protective of Violet.
"What did I tell you?" I asked her. "You weren't there when I needed you!" She yelled at me. "Well I am now." I told her as she put down the razor. I got a towel and wiped up the blood on the sink and put hot water on the other end and gave it to Violet to put on her cuts. Violet wasn't afraid of anything and that was what I admired about her. I only feared three things, death, rape and crucifixion. Weird combo right?
"You're doing it wrong. If you want to kill yourself, cut vertically. They can't stitch it up if you cut vertically." I turned to look at my dad's patient, Tate was standing in the doorway."What are you doing here?" I asked him."The door was unlocked. Next time if you want to kill yourself keep the door locked." He told Violet. "Look Tate, what are you doing?" I asked him.
"Wanted to say hello to you. Didn't get a chance to when you were in your dad's office." He said stepping close to me. He was so close to me that he wouldn't have to stretch out his arm to touch me. "Well hello and goodbye. I have to go call my boyfriend. He must be worried about me." I told Tate as I walked out and went over a few doors to where my room was. My luggage was already there. I smiled. I got out my phone and dialed Gale's number. "You have a boyfriend?" I heard Tate ask as I heard Gale's voicemail. I hung up and threw the phone on my bed.
"Yes I do. I intend on staying loyal to him while I'm here. Tate walked into my room and closed my door. "What do you want?" I asked him. "Just to talk for a bit. I don't have to be home yet." He told me as he sat down on my bed. I sat down on my computer chair and looked at him. "What do you wish to discuss?" I asked him."You know what happened here?" He asked me."No. My mom never told me anything about this house." I told him. "The last owners were killed in the basement." He told me. "Oh that's interesting." I told him. I never thought I would live in a house that had a murder in it. "You know you are really beautiful." He said changing the subject. He got up and went over to my computer chair and bending down to my level. Our faces almost touching. I was calm and looked into his dark eyes.
"You should leave before my father find out you're here. Don't want any trouble." I told him. "Okay Cassidy." He said as he left my room. I turned my computer chair around and went on youtube and started looking at videos.
It was after school the next day and I was trying to get a hold of Gale once again. On the fifth try I heard the other line pick up right away. "Hello Gale babe? I've been trying to reach you." I said. "Who is this?" A female voice asked."Cassidy, Gale's girlfriend." I said into the phone. I heard the girl laugh."Gale is done with you." She said and then hung up the phone. I started to tear a bit. I ran up to my room and threw myself onto my bed.
I was crying for a while. When I had finished I went downstairs to the kitchen to get a small tub of ice cream that my mom had bought. It was red velvet cake. It was one of my favorites. I grabbed a spoon and passed by my dad's office. I looked at Tate and he looked at me. " I was afraid I couldn't have sex because I've found someone." He said while looking at me. Our eyes caught each others for a few minutes and I quickly went up to my room and closed the door. Had Tate been talking about me? Or some other girl? I sighed as I opened my delicious Ben & Jerry's ice cream. I sat down on my bed and stuck my spoon into it and started to eat it bite by bite. I went back down stairs after I had finished eating it and put it in the freezer. I went to my room and grabbed my head phones and lap top and went to Violet's room. I set myself down on her bed.
I brought up the familiar site that would help me escape my boredom on the weekends, Subeta. I had my headphones in too because I didn't like listening to Violet's music sometimes.
I didn't see Tate enter because I was too involved in the site I was on. I went on Subeta for role-playing. I didn't hear what they were talking about either because I was blasting Trading Heartbeats by Every Avenue. I noticed Tate when he got up he came over to me. I took out my earbuds and the music could be heard. "So what happened?" He asked. "What do you mean? I asked him. "You've been crying." He told me."Nothing important." I told him. He grabbed my hand and stroked his thumb across the vein."Why are you seeing my dad Tate?" Violet asked.
"Don't ask questions you already know the answer to. You're smarter than that." Tate told her."You want to listen to Morrison. He's cool. And he's pissy and he hates everybody and everything." Violet said as she grabbed her ipod."You got any Kurt Cobain on that thing?" Tate asked. "Tate what are you doing here?" My dad asked. "Dad we are just listening to music." Violet explained. "Tate get out. This is not appropriate." My dad said. Tate got up and then went to me. "What's that thing you think I'm afraid of? Fear of rejection." He said before he walked out the door."Dad we were-"
"I want you to stay away from him." My dad told us. "Dad, I'm eighteen. You can't control who I talk to." I told him as I grabbed my laptop and went back to my room.
There was a knock on the door. I looked up. It was Tate. I smiled. "I thought my dad told you to leave." I told him. "Well, I turned around." He shrugged. I rolled my eyes."I'm going to get in more trouble." I told him. "Well you are eighteen right?" I nodded "Well then, your father has no power over you." He told me as sat down on my bed next to me. "Still, I don't want to get yelled at." I told him.
"So what really did happen?" He asked me. "Nothing at all." I told him. "I'm not stupid. Was it your boyfriend?" He asked. I put the computer aside and looked at him. A small tear came down my face. I nodded. "Look if you love someone your shouldn't hurt them and he hurt you." Tate told me. "Yeah but maybe you should go. Come by tomorrow okay?" I asked him. "Sure. See you tomorrow Cassie." He said as he left my room to leave. I picked up my computer again and a small smiled was on my face. Tate didn't seem so bad for a person and he was kind of cute too.
