My mother who normally pulls him into a hug held her hand up, she walked straight to the sink to get a drink of water. "Is someone going to explain what's happening?" My father asked I sat down at the dining table looking at all the empty seats, my mother sitting across from me. Her Beth Dutton glare staring into my soul. I watched as my father sat down next to her, he didn't seemed to worried. "Ask your daughter." My mother said looking at me like I've broken the law, my father looked at me and I knew if he asked I couldn't lie to him. "Violet what happened?" I wanted to tell him but the words wouldn't come out, I laid my head on the table./p

I sat up to see my father's reaction it was as expected angry and disappointed, "I'm going to kill that kid." He jumped up grabbing the keys to his truck, I followed him and my mother outside we all three drove to the ranch. I could see Dallas riding as we pulled up, as soon as we stopped I jumped out and rushed over to Dallas. "I'm sorry I'm really sorry" My father stood beside me on the fence, "Violet in the house with your mother now!" I looked back as Dallas I walked in my mother sat on the couch. I sat down next to herm she opened her arms for me to lay in. "I had to tell him baby. He won't hurt the boy and if he does I'll kick his ass." I laughed as she pulled me into a hug. I sat in my mother's arms until I heard the loud sound of my father's boots clicking on the hardwood floor. "How's the kid?" My mother asked looking over the couch at him as I snuggled closer to her. "He's fine just a black eye and a reminder of who's daughter he's messing with" My mom pulled me up to face my dad, I didn't know what to say. "He hasn't laid a hand on me, we haven't done anything." He just looked at me anger still in his eyes, I knew I was adding gas to the fire. He sat down across from us. "Violet I don't want to hear it right now."/p

"Violet if you have something to say just say it." I heard him say I looked over at him he was leaning on his shovel with the black eye and blood on his mouth. "I'm sorry about my dad he can be a bit protective at times when it comes to his little girl." I watched as he nodded and continued shoveling the shit, "It's fine Violet, we hid it from them it's as expected." I took a seat on a straw bail across from him. "Dallas talk to me about this." He dropped the shovel and leaned on the wall across from me, "There's nothing to talk about, we lied and I paid the consquences what else is there?" How could he stand there and ask me that? I stood up and crossed my arms, "What else is there? How about where this puts us? I was going to tell him I just never got the chance he just got back from Texas I can't just spring this on him." I said rather loudly without meaning to./p

I really do like you but I don't think we can continue this anymore." I sucked up the tears I couldn't let him see me cry, I couldn't let him see that he just broke my heart. I took a step back and looked him in the eyes, "After everything this is how it ends because you're scared of my father. You're a cowboy grow the fuck up." I turned to walk away before he pulled me into a kiss, "Violet this doesn't mean that we won't be together just give you're father time to cool off and come around to the idea of this." I nodded and pecked him on the cheek, I saw the porchlight flashing which means my mother wants me inside. "I'll see you tomorrow Dallas Chase." I smiled and pulled away walking towards the barn doors. "Tomorrow Violet Dutton." I smiled as I walked back up to the house my mother sat on the porch, "Violet have a seat for a minute." I sat next to her on the swing, she pulled me close to her and rubbed my hair. "I'm sorry about you're dad, he just doesn't want his little girl growing up." /p

"Mom I really like him, and he likes me." I saw her smile out of the corner of my eye, "Baby you're 17 that kind of love makes your head spin I know how you feel about him and you're dad will come around just give him time to process that you aren't a baby anymore." I laid on her shoulder watching the sunset as she held me close to her, I felt her kiss the top of my head and pulled me closer to her. "Mom you're crushing me" I said pushing her away some, "Sorry kid you'll always be my baby no matter how old you are." I nodded and cuddled with her on that swing./p
