Hey y'all, got a new one-shot out and it's based on, you guessed it, another song. Lol. But I think the story will speak for itself. :)

Clem grew frustrated with herself as she couldn't seem to get her brush through the tangle of curls that made up her hair. She gave an annoyed growl and threw her brush across the room. It hit the door with an audible crash just as Violet made her way to the room.

"Whoa! What's going on in here?" She asked as she made her way over and sat on Clem's bed.

"My hairs all a mess! I can't get these stupid tangles out!" Clem yelled, mad at herself as she pulled her hair back into a short ponytail. Then she tucked her curls under her baseball cap.

Violet shook her head with a smile as she got up and made her way over to her girlfriend. "That's what this is about?" She laughed.

Clem crossed her arms not being as amused as the blonde girl. "It's not funny, Vi. I hate how it looks. Do you know how hard it is to comb through it?"

"Baby, I didn't fall in love with your hair. Up or down, Clem, I really don't care." Violet came up behind her and wrapped her arms around the brunette as they both stared at their reflections in her large dresser mirror. "The heart that's inside you is why I stopped and stared. Looks arent what matters, it's what's inside that counts...and I like what I see."

She kissed Clem on the cheek getting the brunette to smile a bit, but it faded once more as she looked back in the mirror. "How can you say that? I'm a complete mess!"

Violet smirked. "It's true Clem. Sometimes I wish you could see what I see. You think you're at your worst, but you're perfect to me. Whether you're in fitted jeans or just my t-shirt your still the most beautiful girl in the world."

Clem twisted around in her chair as tears started to form in her eyes and threw her arms around the blonde. "Thank you! I love you, Violet."

Violet smiled and hugged her back. "I love you too, Clem."

Five Years Later

The house phone started to ring and Violet went to go grab it, but she stopped when she heard Clem call out, "I got it, Vi!"

She looked at the caller ID and saw it was the hospital. They were probably calling about Clem's medical results after the visit about a week ago. Clem's played baseball all her life, but about a month ago she started getting this weird pain in her leg whenever she would play. So they went in to do some tests and get a doctor's opinion. So this must have been her doctor from back home giving her the results.

So Violet made her way up to their room, where she was pretty sure Clem was, to hear what the doctor had to say once Clem got off the phone with her. She walked through the doorway but was surprised when Clem threw down the phone and hurriedly ran from the room. "Clem...?"

Violet looked back to the phone on the ground as she heard voices come from the other side. The blonde went and picked it up from the floor confused as to what just happened. "Hello?" She said questioningly.

Violet listened for a few minutes for the doctor to explain what was going on. "Mrs. Everett I'm afraid we have some bad news..."

Violet's hand flew up to cover her mouth once she finally understood what was going on. She hung up the phone once the doctor had finished explaining what would happen, complete shock written across her face as to how this had happened. She felt terrible for her wife. Speaking of which...

She turned and stared at the door that Clem had run out of. She walked to the doorway and stood in its archway as she saw Clem standing in front of the hallway mirror. The brunette's face sodden with tears that dripped down from her chin and splashed onto the wooden floor below.

Violet felt her heart breaking as she watched the scene unfold, a saddened expression across her face. "Clem...?" She gently called from the doorway.

Clem didn't turn to look at her as her gaze was still held on the mirror in front of her. She reached out and touched it. "If it all falls out..." Her hand slowly slipping down the reflective surface. "Violet, what would you think?" That's when the tears took over as they fell in a cascade down the girl's cheeks.

Violet walked over and pulled Clem in for a side hug, rubbing Clem's arm reassuringly as the girl cried into her chest. That's when a thought overtook her. Something she remembered from years ago. "Well, I didn't fall in love with your hair. Here or gone I really don't care." She brought a hand up to Clem's chest and placed it over her heart. "The heart that's inside you is why I stopped and stared." Then she brought her hand up to brush some of Clem's tears away with her thumb. "I swear I didn't fall in love with your hair."

She stepped back and held out her hand. "Dance with me?" She asked knowing that it was something that usually got Clem to smile.

"Vi, look at me. I'm a mess." Clem said, tears still dripping down her face as she looked to the floor.

Violet sent her a small smile. "So what? Did you not hear what I just said." Vi still had her hand extended out to the brunette. "Please, Clem."

Clem sighed and reluctantly took her wife's hand. Vi slowly pulled her closer to her and the two slowly moved back and forth. But Clem wouldn't look up at her partner as they moved around the hallway. Vi could see the tears welling up in her golden eyes that desperately wanted to fall. She moved her hand from Clem's shoulder to her face just as the tears started to spill. "Baby, look at me."

Clem let her turn her head so she now faced the blonde, but tears still leaked from her eyes. "I love you, Clem. You're caring and kind. You have a heart of gold and you're not afraid to show it. And you're strong, Clem you're so strong. No matter what, you always get back up each time you're knocked down. And I know this time will be no different."

Clem rubbed some tears from her eyes and her voice shook slightly when she spoke. "Y-you really b-believe that?"

Violet smiled at her. "I know that because I see it every day." She tucked a strand of curls behind Clem's ear. "You're beautiful Clem, inside and out. You're perfect."

Clem felt heat rush to her cheeks and her gaze drifted to the side. But Violet caught the glimpse of a smile from her and it caused her to grin. "I didn't fall in love with your hair." She raised her arm and spun Clem around getting a small laugh from the girl. "The hearts that's inside you is why I stopped and stared. I swear I didn't fall in love with your hair." Violet brought them to a stop and brushed her fingers across Clem's cheek. "I love you, Clem."

Clem smiled up at her. "I love you back."

Violet sent her one back before leaning down and gently kissing her. "I know cancer is a scary thing, but we're going to get through this together, I promise you. And I will never stop loving you, no matter what happens."

Clem was trying to fight back tears once more at her wife's words. She threw her arms around Violet's neck and hugged her tightly. "Thank you."

Violet smiled and hugged her back. The two just enjoying the other's presence as they stayed in the embrace.
