Chapter 12
“Do you want to come out sweetheart?” I asked her, she shook her head.
“Okay well do you want me to sit here with you?” I asked her, she nodded, I sat back leaning my back against the wall near the mouth of the couch. I looked up to see Dez who was watching me with an unreadable expression standing in the doorway, I glared at him, I gritted my teeth and glared.
Looking at him hurt so much, my chest tightened in pain, but I ignored knowing there were more important things right now than me being heartbroken over a worthless piece of shit who wasn’t worth any of my time or tears.
I looked back to Violet, we sat in silence, after a few hours she slid over within reaching distance and reached her hand out. I took her hand she laid down on the floor poking her thumb in her mouth holding onto my hand.
“Violet do you want to lay down on the couch with me?” I asked her, she shook her head.
“Do you want to sleep on the floor?” I asked her, she nodded.
“Would you like a blanket?” I asked, she thought for minute, I let go of her hand and she looked up at me in alarm her eyes getting wide.
“It’s okay I’m getting a blanket” I assured her I got up and grabbed two blankets and two pillows, I sat back down on the floor and handed her a blanket and pillow, she laid down on the pillow snuggling into the blanket reaching out for my hand.
I laid down on the floor reaching my hand behind the couch connecting it with hers. I laid there thinking about things, she started to draw random pictures on my hand, I could feel her breath on my arm telling me she was drawing the pictures with one of the fingers connected to the hand that was in her mouth.
I finally got drowsy, and I knew she was asleep by her shallow breathing.
“Kendal” I heard and looked over at the door seeing Michael he walked in and came within 3 feet of me peeking behind the couch.
“it’s midnight you should get to bed” he said,
“I’m just going to sleep here tonight” I told him.
“On the floor?” he asked, I nodded.
“Okay, I’m going to be in a guest room right down the hall” he told me,

“Okay” I replied turning back over he flicked the light off and left, I looked over at Violet, she looked so peaceful in her sleep.
I knew what it was like to be scared and alone, I knew Violet was still scared and she would always be but she didn’t need to suffer by herself. Being alone is the worst feeling in the world, and I wanted her to
know that she would never be alone, not ever.
Even if I had to spend every night on the floor, I would never abandon her.
I don’t know why I felt so protective over her, but I did. I felt like she was my responsibility and I needed
to be here with her to protect her. No one would ever touch her again if they meant harm, and I mean no
one. I would make sure of it.
I finally fell asleep fixing her blanket so her small feet were covered. I woke up in the night by her
climbing out from behind the couch and getting under my blanket curling into a small ball against my
stomach, bunching her small fist in my shirt, her thumb still in her mouth.
I wrapped my arms around her and went back to sleep.
I opened my eyes to Violet’s face right in mine, it scared me for a second. She was playing with my hair her bright blue eyes droopy just looking at me, her cold feet were pressed on my thighs. I sat up looking down at her, pulling the cover up to her chin brushing some golden ringlets from her face.
“Are you hungry?” I asked her, and she nodded eagerly her eyes getting wider. I stood up and stretched and she mimicked my movements fisting her small hand at the end of my shirt poking her thumb in her mouth. I reached down and took her and walked down the hallway to the kitchen. I pulled a stool and
up
let her help make pancakes.
I heard the clearing of a throat and turned around my hand still wrapped around Violet’s who was stirring the batter with some difficulty. I saw Michael, I offered him a small smile.
“Do you want to help?” I asked,
“Collins wants to see you” I felt a sharp pain go through my chest.
“I’m not seeing him” I said automatically.
“Are you guys fighting?” he asked curiously, I snorted and Violet let out a small giggle. I turned back around turning the stove out pouring some batter in the skillet grabbing a spatula. Michael came around took the spatula from me I gave him a large smile as he flipped the pancake.
“Do you want to try some?” I asked her, she looked up at me with wide eyes.
“You can have some” I told her. “look just” I said dipping my finger in the batter licking it off. She mimicked me and sucked on her finger, she gave me a large smile that literally made my heart hurt. I dipped me finger in it putting a drop on her nose, making her burst into a fit of angelic giggles.
