I Still Love You
Author's Notes: No, I don't own the characters... well, not some. I'm sorry if you think I copied you but I didn't... just a coincidence. I'm not a copy cat unlike someone in my class... she's a maniac. Well, I shouldn't say that. Anyways, back to the story...
Chapter II: FAKE LOVE
"MAMA!" 8 year old Harriet cried, waking Violet up.
Violet rubbed her eyes as she sat up in her huge bed. She blinked, obviously puzzled. Her head ached.
The girl shrieked louder this time, "MAAAMMMAAAAAA!" Harriet ran into Violet's bedroom and pouted, "Mama, Al wouldn't let me use his computer!"
Violet stared at the ebony haired girl. Who is this girl? And why does she look like Duncan so much? And who the heck is Al?
Harriet scrunched up her face, "Mama, what are you staring at? Harriet wanna use the computer!"
It struck her. OH YEAH! Violet thought. Duncan had left me, pregnant. Harriet was born and Albert had started dating me and now we're sharing an apartment (but of course they still sleep in different rooms AND they didn't do THAT so get your mind off that topic) Tears were forming in Violet's eyes again but she blinked to keep them from falling. I have to be strong, for Harriet.
Even though Duncan had walked out, Violet still hoped he would return. Day by day, Violet started to lose hope and by Harriet's eighth birthday, Violet had already given up.
34 year old Violet patted a spot on the bed. "Um... sweetie. Come sit with mommy."
The little girl pouted, "AL! Mommy wouldn't tell you to let me use your computer."
Albert came in and smiled, "Now, Harriet. That didn't make sense. Plus, you will be allowed to use the computer when you're nine. Your birthday is two months from know." He sat down and hugged the whining girl. Albert then gently peck Violet on the cheeks.
Violet smiled weakly. She doesn't love Albert. Violet knew that from her heart. I don't love him! She screamed inside her head but outside, she was smiling fakely but brightly. "Darling, do you have work today?"
"Nope!"
Violet likes Albert but not enough to be in love. He's sweet and smart and also one of the richest man in the whole country. (She doesn't need his money, she has a FORTUNE! Now, back to story) Albert gently patted Violet on the back, disturbing Violet's thoughts. Violet looked at Albert and saw him looking at her lovingly.
Violet sighed. Why can't I just get over Duncan? He probably is with his wife and children. Why can't I just fall in love with Albert? He had been so nice to me. And, she added in her mind, he's always there for me. But no matter how Violet numbed herself with Albert, she just couldn't forget Duncan... her true love.
"Honey, would you like to go to Sunshine Lake Park today? We can have a picnic." Albert suggested as Violet looked up, confused. "Huh?"
Harriet giggled, "Mommy is day dreaming, again!"
Violet spank her head mentally. I gotta stop thinking about Duncan. I LOVE Albert. Violet forced herself to say it in her mind. But really, her heart was yelling: NO NO NO! You don't love Albert. You love the one and only Duncan Quagmire!
Violet replied casually, "If Harriet want to go."
Harriet jumped up and down on the bed and screamed excitedly, "OF COURSE! I love picnics."
Violet smiled at her daughter's hyperness. Harriet is such a smart girl... she knew everything that was going on. She knew that Al is not her real father so she refuses to call him daddy. Harriet is so understanding that she even refuses to do a project about her family in school. She told the teacher that she did not know her dad and will not want to because he had let me down.
Violet went to pack the picnic basket... for 5 minutes... then
Al handed Violet her jacket as he helped Harriet put on hers. Al's thoughts drifted away... I just wish Violet would love me as much as she had loved Duncan. Wait, let me change that... I wish Violet would love me as much as she loves Duncan. She still love Duncan. But I don't have anything to worry about; I'll do anything to make her love her...
Violet held hands with Harriet as Al held Violet's other hand.
15 min later~
Violet opened the car door, holding Harriet's hand. Al smiled as he took out the picnic basket. It was a beautiful day. The sky was azure blue and there was no clouds in sight. They had arrived at Sunshine Lake Park.
They sat down beneath the shade of a big oak tree. Suddenly, tears started to escape the corners of Violet's amber brown eyes. This was where Duncan and I always meet. This was also where we had our first date. Oh my god. I just thought about Duncan again. Violet covered her face as she tried to wipe away the tears.
Al looked at Violet, worried, "Are you okay, Violet. What's the matter?"
Violet just turned around, "Nothing. I'll be okay in a while."
Harriet just gazed at her mother and thought Violet needed some time alone. So Harriet pulled at Al's sleeve, "Al, I wanna go feed the ducks in the lake." Al looked at Violet to make sure she's okay and nodded at Harriet.
"Violet, Harriet and I will be right back." Al whispered and left.
Violet whispered to herself, "Oh, Violet, stop thinking about Duncan. It's been nine years. He's not going to be back. I'm already 34 years old, I should think about a steady marriage." She thought to herself as a person grabbed her.
"Violet Baudelaire. I'm back for revenge."
Violet gasped as she turned around, "OLAF! That's not possible!" Violet wished that Albert and Harriet had not left. Olaf was too strong for her. He dragged her into a bush nearby. Violet tried to scream but he covered her mouth. She tried to kick but he dodged just in time.
Count Olaf sneered, "You've ruined my life and I will now ruin yours!"
Should I end here? Hmm... I guess! Off to dinner. Review please!
