Part TWO - In Which Violet Has a Chat
"What was he thinking!?" Violet burst out as Naomi and Addison finally managed to catch up to her in the elevator.
"You honestly don't see it?" Naomi asked, a little intrigued, not so much incredulous.
"See what?!" Violet asked in a loud voice. The other two women were very grateful that they were the only ones in the elevator.
"He's head over heels for you," Addison answered, keeping a hand on Violet's shoulder, like Naomi.
"What are you talking about? He just had a BB gun to my brother!" Violet shrugged off the arms and turned to stare at Addison.
"All those looks, wanting to know about your love life, hating that Allan guy, the BB gun?" Addison listed.
The elevator shuddered to a stop and Violet glared at nothing as the lights in the elevator flickered and went out. The emergency lights switched on, the fluorescent bulbs harsh in the metal room.
"Great, just great, on top of everything else," Violet muttered under her breath.
"Violet, stop avoiding," Naomi warned. Violet slowly turned her head to look at the other doctor.
"Naomi, how the hell can I possibly avoid anything when we're all stuck in this stupid elevator! I heard what you said and it makes no sense!"
Addison sighed, "Yes! It does! He loves you!"
"No he doesn't!" Violet shook her head violently, adopting the childish mentality that if she denied it enough it would cease to exist.
"Yes, sweetie, he does," Naomi said quietly, laying a hand on Violet's shoulder again. Violet was quiet a moment, seeming to sway a little on the spot.
"Violet?" Addison asked, reaching out a hand and waving it in front of Violet's face.
Violet's eyes widened and she slumped back against the wall of the elevator, sliding down slowly until she was sitting with her legs straight out in front of her.
"Oh, god." She whispered, mostly to herself.
"Is she okay?" Addison asked, keeping her eyes on Violet. Naomi seemed to hesitate for a second before answering in what she hoped was a confident voice.
"Yeah, she'll be fine. Violet? Are you fine?" Naomi crouched down to Violet's level. The psychiatrist was unresponsive.
'Cooper's in love with me,'
"Violet?" Addison crouched as well.
'Cooper loves me.'
"I think she's in shock." Addison said in a surprised tone. She felt the other woman's fingers; they were ice cold.
"Violet? Can you hear me? You need to breathe, take a deep breath." Addison instructed, moving to her knees.
'He has actual feelings for me.'
Violet's breathing was quick and Addison looked to Naomi helplessly, "Um, some help?"
Naomi sat on the floor of the elevator, "Violet? Are you okay?"
'He wants more than friendship. He wants me.'
"Violet! Get over it! He loves you!" Naomi all but yelled in Violet's face. Violet blinked and looked at her slowly.
"Jeez, harsh," she said.
"Are you alright?" Addison asked. Both women had a hand on Violet somewhere, whether it was to keep her from freaking out or from passing out they didn't know.
"No. I'm really not alright."
"But you love Cooper; he's your best friend." Naomi said, confused.
"He can't love me. It'll mess everything up. I'll mess everything up. He knows that! Why is he so stupid!?" Violet sounded angrier and angrier with every word.
"Violet, calm down and think; what would be so horrible about being with Cooper? He already knows everything about you, all your flaws and faults, what's to worry about?"
"Everything! You and Sam were friends before you were together; you got divorced!"
"Yeah, but we're still…friends," Naomi tried.
"Right, and you and Cooper aren't going to end up like Naomi and Sam." Addison said.
"And what about you and Pete? Not very inspiring, no offense," Violet said, leaning her head against the cool wall of the elevator.
Addison sighed and nodded slightly, "True, none taken."
They sat in silence for a while before it was broken.
"Where the hell did he even find a BB gun?"
"Men suck."
"Marriage sucks."
