Beneath the ambient glow of the school's swimming pool, laughter reverberated like a haunting melody. Violet entangled in a sinister game orchestrated by Athena and her accomplices, discovered that the pool's serene facade concealed a dark undercurrent.
As giggles intertwined with the gentle splash of water, Athena relentlessly submerged Violet, turning the once lively pool into an ominous theater. Gasping for air Violet's breath became unstable each inhale stolen by the relentless waves. Athena with a wicked grin, cruelly pulled at Violet's hair exposing her vulnerability to the trauma.
With limbs betraying her and breath escaping in unsteady sighs,
Athena- You want my man? Let me show you what your reality is
she taunted, her laughter a piercing note in the watery symphony.
Before Violet could respond she found herself thrust into the water again. Exhaustion enveloped her, and the world above blurred into a watery mirage. Numbness seized her laughter haunting her like a bittersweet melody as her movements surrendered to the liquid depths.
The unexpected intrusion of an impassioned visitor shattered the giggles which was in the atmosphere.
The door burst open revealing Sebastian, in a storm of fury.
Sebastian -Where is Violet?
His voice, a crescendo of anger and desperation demanded an answer that Athena seemed reluctant to give .
Sebastian- WHERE THE FUCK IS VIOLET?
Silence expectant with tension hung in the air. Sebastian's gaze fell upon the pool, his heart quickening at the sight of Violet's motionless form beneath the surface. Without a moment's hesitation, he plunged into the water,
Against the resistance of the water he swam through it Sebastian fought to reach Violet. The weight of the liquid realm challenged his every move. Emerging from the depths, he cradled Violet, in his arms, dragging her onto the poolside.
Sebastian's focus remained unwavering as Athena, a malicious specter, emerged from the water. Panic seized him as he checked for signs of life. low pulse, slow breaths – Violet teetered on the precipice.
-"Violet, hey, wake up!"
Sebastian's plea resonated, his desperation palpable.
In a final attempt, he attached his lips and kissed her, breathing life into her still form. Time seems to freeze, hanging between despair and hope. Then, Violet shifted, her eyelids fluttering open. At that moment, beneath the moon's watchful gaze from the glass roof, their love emerged stronger
Athena burning with jealousy storms out of there followed by her other friends who were part of the mess violet still traumatized by the incident pushes Sebastian away tears falling from her eyes, as she frantically starts to rub herself Sebastian's heart feels like it been stabbed seeing her so insecure as he slowly walked toward her
Athena consumed by jealousy stormed out, followed by their friends, leaving behind a shaken Violet. Tears welled in Violet's eyes as she pushed Sebastian away, her hands trembling with fear and insecurity.
Sebastian approached her slowly, his heart heavy with the weight of her pain. With gentle reassurance, he whispered
-"I'm here for you, Violet."
She looks towards her with her brows crossed together removing his hand as he look toward her ,
Violet- really? NO! I am in this state all cause of you SEBASTIAN! CAUSE OF YOU!
her voice broken with trees still flowing her breath heavy as water reflection was falling on them
Violet-You gave a glimpse, made me think we might have something but -
Sebastian's grip tightened as he pulled her back she was stunned by the sudden pull, his voice quivering with emotion.
-"But what?" he pressed, his eyes searching hers for answers.
Violet looked away, her gaze evading his as she struggled to find the words. She pushed against him slightly and attempted to create distance. Still, Sebastian held her waist which was the evident cause of her oversized wet T-shirt hugging her body making her curves visible , as he held her close, leaving only inches between them.
-"But what, tell me Violet," Sebastian urged, his voice a mixture of confusion and longing.
Finally, Violet met his gaze, her eyes filled with regret.
-I was wrong, she admitted softly.
-Wrong? Sebastian echoed, his heart pounding in his chest.
Violet-"Yes, wrong to assume things, wrong to assume I could fall for someone like you," Violet confessed, her voice tinged with pain.
-"Someone who only knows how to give pain."
Sebastian's heart shattered at her words, the weight of her accusation heavy upon him. But in that moment, he knew he couldn't let her go without a fight.
Sebastian's gaze softened as he took in Violet's tear-streaked face, her features softened by the shimmering water surrounding her, her wet clothes hugging her frail body. A pang of guilt and sorrow washed over him as he realized the depth of her pain.
-"Pain?" he repeated softly, his voice barely a whisper amidst the tranquil surroundings. He reached out tentatively, his fingertips grazing her cheek in a gesture of comfort.
Violet's red nose and quivering lips betrayed her sadness, her eyes filled with a vulnerability that pierced Sebastian's heart like a dagger. At that moment, all he wanted was to ease her suffering, to erase the hurt etched upon her delicate features.
Without another word, he pulled her into the tender embrace, holding her close as if to shield her from the world's cruelty. As he felt her trembling against him, Violet was left speechless by his action tears rolled down her face as she stood still gazing at the pool, she knew nothing could heal her like him, Sebastian buried his face in her collar, his scent wrapping around her like a familiar embrace. She said nothing, feeling the weight of his love in his tender hold, finding solace in his silent support.
------------
Later he drove her back home, the ride was silent, a heavy weight of silence hung between them reaching her home, Sebastian stopped the car and looked toward Violet who was sleeping not wanting to wake her up he slowly opened the door and walked out slowly carrying her up
As he carried Violet , her closeness stirred something within him. Her soft breath against his skin sent a tingle down his spine, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth at her proximity.
The gentle glow of the porch light illuminated their path, casting a soft halo around them. each step, Sebastian held her securely, his touch protective and tender.
Violet shifted slightly in his arms, her movements brushing against him in a way that made his heart flutter. Despite the simplicity of the moment, there was an undeniable intimacy between them.
Finally, they reached the door, Violet mother opened the door as the bell rang, She looked surprised seeing her daughter in Master. Sebastian's arms, as she helped him to way to Violet's room, as he laid her down on the bed, tucking her in with care. his eyes roamed around seeing a lot of books on shelves and a guitar in the corner caught his eyes, he sat back on the bed As he watched her sleep, a sense of peace washed over him, knowing she was safe. Soon he exited her room thanked by Violet's mother who had a soft smile reassembling the smile Violet got from her mother.
Sebastian exited the place and drove back to his Mansion only to be welcomed by silence, no one was there to warmly welcome him or stay up late waiting for him as he witnessed at Violet's house but for the 1st time he felt sad as he walked upstairs to his room , opening the bottle on wine which was sitting on the table as he starts to drink it gazing at night sky suddenly his phone rang with the message,
_MESSAGE_
Leonard- Are we still on the bet?
---
seeing that message Sebastian paused as a smile crept on his face , an idea struck his mind as he continued
Sebastian-Yeah! And you are about to lose the bet so be ready!
his smile never left his face as he threw the phone on the bed sipping on the wine and gazing at the night sky with a master plan in his head as the night consumed his thoughts~
---Next Day---
Violet eye's opened as she found herself warm and in different clothes, realizing she was in her room and half our was there for her to go to University, getting freshen up she decided to get some changes to lighten up herself, searching for clothes her eyes landed on a white tank top with light blue narrow pants as she settles to wear it , after a quite long time she was wearing a fitting dress which was hugging her figure, feeling weird she gets a cropped jacket which was hanging and gets downstairs.
Warmly welcomed by her parents she sat down at the table silently until her moms called her out

As Violet entered the corridor, the hustle and bustle of students filled the air. Finding her way to an empty seat in the lecture hall, she settled down quietly. Yet, whispers floated around her, Feeling a seat pulled beside her, Violet turned to find none other than Lenard smiling softly at her. A sense of relief washed over her as she met his gaze, grateful for his presence by her side.
