Even before the affair my father and I had never been really close. He was usually busy with work or with my mother attending one social event or another. After the affair with Hayden, well I hated him, I still do sometimes because if it wasn't for him we never would have had to leave Boston and we would all still be alive. I guess it doesn't matter anymore since it was already done and you can't go back in time and change things or I would have long time ago. Anyways, my father and I weren't close and yet here I was in what used to be his office because he wanted to talk to me about my behavior or whatever. What could I have done to piss him off now? It wasn't as if I could leave this damned house.

"Violet, your mother and I are very concerned with your behavior as of late." He paused like he was waiting for me to admit to some sort of sin, but I remained silent. He hadn't cared when I was alive so why did he give a shit now that I was dead? "You hardly ever leave your room and when you do you never interact with any of the other ghosts here. You're isolating yourself from everyone and everything and it is not healthy."

Really? That is what he was oh so concerned about? "Dad, I'm dead so I doubt anything I do or do not do is healthy and even it if was, it's not like any of the bullshit you spout would matter. Nothing matters anymore because we are all dead even though you and mom like to pretend differently. Also, who do you suggest I hang out with? Your ex lover? The slutty maid? Do you think I should spend my time helping Charles with his experiments? Oh maybe you would rather I hung around the twins destroying everything I can get my hands on? Or maybe you think I should become BFF's with the kids who tried to kill mom and I? There are so many choices dad, which one do you think is the healthiest?"

My dad gave me a look letting me know he was in no way amused. "You don't have to get smart Violet, I am only worried about you because I love you. You could spend time with Travis and the girls, they seem like fairly good people. Honestly, it doesn't matter to me as long as you try to expand your social circle. The only one I would have a problem with you spending time with is Tate. You haven't been seeing him have you Violet? I know how persistent he can be, but you have to remember what he is and what he has done. I try to make sure he is staying away from you by speaking with him during in our sessions and checking to see that he hasn't been around you, but I can only do so much and you need to help me out by remembering that he never loved you, he used, he used all of us and he does not have the capacity to care."

Usually I could put up with my father and his know it all bullshit, but he had no idea about the relationship Tate and I once had. "Tate may be a monster, but don't you dare say he never cared about me. Tate was the only one who did care! You and mom were dealing with your own shit while I was dying in a bathtub. Tate was the one tried to save my life. Tate is the reason I stopped cutting and he was here when you weren't and he saved mom and I from those kids while you were off with Hayden. Tate had done some bad shit, but he cares and maybe that is part of the reason he did what he has done, because he cares too much, but too much is better than not at all."

His mouth fell open at my outburst and for the first time in a very long time I felt gleeful. "Vi, how can you even suggest that I don't care? I know I made some mistakes, but I am doing the best I can trying to make amends and I-"

I cut him off before he could say any more. I'd heard enough already. "It's a little late for you to be playing daddy who cares now isn't it? Look, I don't need you watching out for anymore; I can take care of myself since I've been doing it for a while now and you don't have to worry about Tate. I haven't forgotten what he's done. It was nice chatting with you dad, but I think it would be better if you went back to acting as if I no longer exist. One more thing, stop talking about me with Tate. What we had together, whatever the future may bring where we are concerned no longer has nothing to do with you. Your duty as my father ended the second my heart stopped beating."

Without another word, I stood up and left. I did not regret what I said because everything was the truth. Tate had been there for me when I had nobody and if he held no feelings for me then my leaving him wouldn't have hurt so much. If his heart was hollow he would've let me die on multiple occasions. Our relationship may have been messed up, yet everything Tate did had a purpose behind it and all he had ever tried to do to me was make my life better. Yes, the things he did were vile, but he had done things the only way he knew how and in his own twisted mind it had been the right thing. In this world everyone was twisted in one way or another; it's what the world does. If Tate was a monster then I must be one as well so why not be monsters together?

Shaking my head I fled to my room and clicked on my stereo. I needed to drown out everyone and everything for a little while.

TBC...

AN: I thought Violet needed to vent since she didn't really get to in the show. I wanted her to just say it like it is which she did a bit in the show, but I thought she should do more. Anyways, what ghost should Violet talk to next?
