Sky Blue Goes With Blood Red Swirled In Violet
Chapter III: Painful Discovery of Infidelity

As Violet walked out of the room labeled 'Math - Mr. Drew Hanson', she is joined her two friends Sarah Kessler and Chandler Albarn who has been waiting for Violet the whole time.

'What happened, Vi?' asked Sarah as they we're walking down the crowded halls of the school.

"Oh, Mr. Hanson just gave me a warning about my gradethat's all." replied Violet in a tone which subtlety hinted Violet's resentment toward the subject matter.

"What about your grades?" asked Chandler. The words came out slightly apathetic when it hit Violet's ears but Violet chose to ignore it rather than make a big fuss over it.

"Obviously they have to be bad, Chandler! Now can we lay off my horrible math grades and talk about something else?" begged Violet.

Just after Violet said those words they met a group of three boys who were blocking the hall for Violet, Sarah, and Chandler. The boys we're Kevin Bellamy, Alvin Barker, and...Tony Rydinger.

Violet looked into Tony's with so much venom shooting out of her eyes Tony just had to flinch, even if it is just for a split second.

Tony started to apologize, "Look, Vi. I'm so..."

"Fuck you. Let's go." said Violet coldly and she walked off with her friends tailing her as if she was to fast to catch up with.

"Hey, what's up with you and Tony?" asked Chandler when they finally caught up with Violet's accelerating pace.

"I don't want to talk about it right, now." replied Violet quickly. An awkward pause ensues. "So, did you guys hear the new Dashboard record yet?"

It was another night of introspection for Violet. She thought about how she treated Tony just today while alone lying in her comfortable bed. The words "Fuck you. Let's go" resounded in her head over and over again, and every time she heard it she sank deeper and deeper into a dangerous cocktail of guilt and depression, the feeling was obviously unwanted.

"I need to drown it out..." said Violet to herself and got up from her bed and walked over to a corner of her room. In the corner were three cardboard boxes, they were labeled Violet's Record Collection. Only one of the boxes was occupied with records, the other two were empty.

Violet browsed for a while and groaned, "Where is it?" Then Violet realized..."Oh yeah Mom, still has 'em." What Violet was referring to is the punishment she's currently undergoing. Because of her bad grades, her mom took away all her records and in exchange for a B or better she'll get either 1 album/LP or 2 singles back. And Violet's currently desired record (Dashboard Confessional's "The Places That You've Come to Fear The Most") is still being held hostage by her mom.

"Oh, well this will have to do," said Violet picking up a record sleeve that was labeled "R.E.M., Automatic for the People" took out the record and put it on the turntable. Then she plugged in her headphones that had extra cables into the jack in the record player and turned it on. Finally she fumbles on to her bed wearing her headphones. And lies down, limbs extended to the fullest and stated to try and just relax and tried to think of nothing as the music played in her head loudly...but she couldn't do it. Her brain just didn't want to think about anything else but Tony. After a while, she chose to succumb to her subconscious...

'What went wrong?' Violet thought. "Was I really that non-existent? Can't really argue that, can I?" It would seem like Violet was never around to Tony, as she was always occupied by either school work or super work. 'Maybe it was reasonable for him to wanna break up with me after all...but did he? He didn't, didn't he?' She sat up as she realized this fact, they weren't broken up yet. 'He just wanted a break...' this confused Violet more than she was before. 'What in the hell is a break!'

"God, I need to talk to somebody..." Violet said to herself. She decided to call her friend Sarah for advice. She picked up her phone from her night stand and put it one the bed and dialed Sarah's number which she has memorized by heart. The phone rings once, the phone rings twice, the phone ring thrice, and nobody's there. She hangs up the phone. But as she lies down, the phone rings.

"Hello, who is this?"

"It's me, Chandler," said Chandler in an uncomfortably urgent tone.

"Chandler?"

"Ok, I'm at the mall with Sarah..."

"What are you doing in the mall with Sarah...at this hour?"

"Umm...catching a midnight show like... Ohh... normal... platonic...best friends do. Nevermind that! I just saw Tony walking into a movie theater catching a midnight show!"

"So? I don't care what he does anymore..."

"No, you will care. Tony's with another girl!" reported Chandler almost eagerly.

The words hit Violet like a two-ton-truck, she immediately shouted "Oh my god, with who!"

"I don't know, but it's this tall broad, as tall as him, she has long dirty blond hair and she has these really long legs, and her...Y'know...is kinda big..."

"Too much information, Chandler! Just get to the point!" Violet's voice suddenly became high-strung and cracked which wasn't a Violet that on the surface often and it freaked Chandler out.

"Hey, don't get mad at me, Vi. I'm just the messenger. Bye, gotta go!" Chandler hung up.

Violet was left enraged in her room, "God! I can't believe that son of a..."

"Violet, stop screaming, I'm trying to sleep..." said Dash at Violet's door weary and sleepy, "So, shut up, k?"

"Ok, whatever..." and Violet put on the headphones that was playing the docile and peaceful "Everybody Hurts" and tried to depress her anger the best way she could. In the midst of her anger, she's managed to find a thin silver lining...

'At least I'll be less guilty in meeting that super tomorrow night,' Violet smiled...
