The Other Beale

15

Violet sat between Stacy and Ashley and Jessica as the fire flicked infront of them. Her usual blanket draped over her and her body curled up in the chair she sat in. Amy leaned over with her roasting stick and Violet plucked a marshmallow before retreating back into her seat and eating the gooey snack. The red locks pulled up in a braid thanks to flo and her eyes red from crying. Chloe talked with Aubrey and Violet toned them out. "I got my ticket for the long way round..." Violet looked up as the group sang besides her. Stacie grabbed the girls hand and smiled then Stacie looked over the girls shoulder and Violet followed her eyes to Beca who was watching them before looking away quickly back to Chloe. The song ended and everyone was smiling. Chloe looked at her sister and grinned. "Violet you are so smart and beautiful. Your dream is to be a computer programmer and a hacker not working in a production studio or what ever Jesse is going to be doing. You will not be working with him and me and Becs already told him that. I want you to continue your studies become the person everyone goes to for electronic situations. Be the you we all know you want to be not what you think others want." Violet smiled at her sister's words and glanced to Beca. "Even if we aren't here we will only be a phone call away okay?" They all agreed and Stacie squeezed Violet.
Several weeks later
"Fuck I can't find my outfit for the performance!" Violet yelled as she scurried around the bedroom. "Vi it's in your bag already. I had it cleaned and I packed it. Everything is already packed you made your list and everything is in there." Chloe laughed finishing putting on her graduation robes. "Now come on!" Chloe yelled pulling her sister from the room. Violet walked outside and stood before their graduating Bellas tears feeling her eyes. "Hey no tears you understand!" Beca said sternly and pulled violet to her and placed her hands on either side of the girls face. Beca stood on a stair above violet looking down at the girl who is usually taller. "Look we don't leave until after we get back. Then I will call you everyday. And every two weeks you will come stay with me and Amy in our apartment." Beca rubbed her thumb over Violet's cheek the metal of the ring there cool to the girls skin. "I wish I had been able to spend more time with you instead of all of the time I caused us to waste so much time because of that stupid bet." Violet sighed and Beca shook her head and leaned forward pressing her lips to Violet's. Violet didn't hesitate to kiss back when I flash went off and both quickly moved from each other and looked towards the flash seeing Stacie had taken the camera from Emily. "Oops!" She laughed. "Stacie!" Violet yelled. "It's memories!" Stacie defended. "Hey that's enough everyone let's take the picture so we can get this over with." Beca rolled her eyes as Violet walked back to Emily. "I think you won the bet." Emily spoke and violet smiled. "I won more than just a bet I won her."
