When I see the look of panic in Lana’s eyes as they flicker to Harper at my statement, I know instinctively that she’s scared of him. I don’t know what exactly she thinks he’ll do, but I quickly amend my statement. “Lana offered to take over and I declined,” I tell him.
“I see,” he says before pulling out a chair. I look back over to her and see her silently thanking me with her eyes. I get the sudden urge to ask her why but it’ll have to wait.
The food is done and Lana helps me bring it over to the table and we all have a seat and Lana disappears into the backyard.
“So, we will be attending a luncheon at the Johnson’s house today,” My mom says. I’m hoping “we” means her and Harper. I have absolutely zero desire to spend my day with a bunch of stepford wives pretending to like each other. Apparently Kane has the same thought because he says, “We,

Between Love and Hate Respect
*Kane's POV*When she tells me the guy she’s spent the last two hours with is gay I feel a bit ridiculous for the white hot jealousy that’s been swirling inside me this whole time.As I watch her go to a table, I see a group of people walking towards her. I think I may have seen them around before but I can’t recall any of their names. I can, however, see that they’re all snakes from way over here. I especially don’t like the way the guy on the far right is looking at Violet.I’ve been trying to stay away from her with my dad around so that he doesn’t think I’m getting attached but she’s in a big group. I could be there for any one of those girls, right? My legs decide before my brain does and I begin walking towards their table, glaring at the guy looking at her the whole way there.He notices me and then quickly averts his gaze away from Violet. Fucking creep.As I get closer, and the girls no

*Violet's POV*I rush up to my room after dinner and text Stella.Me: Help, fashion emergency. Facetime?A couple minutes later, I’m receiving a facetime from her. I answer quickly and see that she’s sitting in our dorm room.“Stella! Help me!”“What’s the problem? You look super cute right now. Love that blazer.”“I know, you picked it! The problem is I’m going out to a night club apparently.”“What?! How? Why?” She asks. I briefly explain the whole situation at the garden party to her and she nods and then says, “I see. Alright well, obviously you cannot wear that blazer to a club. The skirt should be fine with the right top though. The white has to go. What do you have with you?”I empty out my duffle onto the bed and spread everything out.“OH! How about that black lacy top on the far left!” She says.“What ar

*Kane's POV*I don’t dance, but seeing the way Mitch eyes Violet when Cara suggests going to the dance floor, I have no choice but to follow. We squeeze through to the middle and Lucas pulls Violet into him, and it’s clear she hasn’t danced like this before but he shows her to just move her hips and by the end of the first song, she’s got a good enough handle on it that I find myself jealous of a gay guy.Cara and her friend Lauren or Leah or whatever it is are both dancing up on me but I keep my hands to myself and am obviously not paying attention to either of them. I can’t focus on anything other than the way Violet’s hips are swaying against Lucas.After a couple songs, she goes on her tiptoes and says something in his ear. He nods and they start walking away. I push the two girls away and grab her arm and she comes close because I wouldn’t be able to hear her otherwise and says, “I’m just going to coat c

*Violet's POV*When Lucas comes over and interrupts us, I can’t help but feel annoyed. I’m pretty sure I just experienced my first ever orgasm. In the middle of a crowded nightclub. On Kane’s fingers. My head is buzzing enough from the alcohol and the adrenaline that I can’t even bring myself to care how wrong the whole thing was.When we reach the rest of the group and Cara attaches herself to Kane I can’t help the knot that forms in my stomach and the only buzz that’s left is the one from the liquor. Lucas grabs onto my hips and starts dancing with me so I sway with him to the music, and when I look over at Kane I see that he’s not even dancing, just standing there letting her dance on him and his attention is fully on me.I meet his eyes as I dance with Lucas and the intensity of his gaze sends a shiver down my spine. Some guy walks in between us, breaking our eye contact and I see that it’s the guy Lucas
Last Updated : 2021-05-20Between Love and Hate About Last Night
*Kane's POV*When I walk inside my room, I lean back against the door and rest my head on it, letting my eyes close. It takes every last shred of self-control not to open this door back up and finish what I started at the club. It seems like every cell in my body is urging me to do it, but I can’t put her in danger anymore. I need to just let her be with her nice, tame, football-playing golden boy. She’s better off that way.I wait until I hear her go to and then return to her room from the bathroom, wait another five minutes and then sneak over to brush my teeth before quickly returning to my bedroom.I lie on the bed and allow myself to briefly consider a world where Violet and I had met under different circumstances. One where it would be easy to be with her. I drift off to sleep, dreaming of this other, beautifully impossible world.When I awaken the next morning, my dream land comes crashing down around me and I’m thrust back into t

*Violet's POV*When Kane tells me it won’t happen again I can’t help but feel upset about it. He made me feel so amazing last night with just his fingers and the thought that I won’t ever feel that way again is so disappointing. I try and think about a time when Jace ever made me feel even half that amount of pleasure and I come up blank. I really shouldn’t be making these kinds of comparisons but I just can’t help it.It looks as though this drive is going to be another 3 hours of silent treatment from Kane so I pull out my ereader and continue the book I started on the drive up. At one point, my phone vibrates and I see a text from Lucas.I open it to find a couple of the pictures that we took last night with the message: I post one and you post one?I type back: Yes! I’ll take the 2nd one.Lucas: Deal!I post the picture and tag him in it and then get a notification at almost exactly the same time that

*Kane's POV*We both get up from the booth and head towards his car. When we get in, the tension in the vehicle is almost tangible. I start driving and when we’re in front of her dorm, I look at her and she says, “Kane, you and I both know this can’t work. It would be best if we just, you know, kept our distance.”She’s 100% right but that does nothing to stop the sharp pain that slices through my chest. But I would suffer this pain every day for the rest of my life to protect her. And that’s exactly what I will do.“I know. Like I said this morning, it won’t happen again,” I tell her, forcing my voice to not give away the pain I feel.“Right,” she whispers and then gets out of the car. I fight the urge to go help her with her bag because if I do, I won’t have enough self-control to stop myself from doing things I shouldn’t. I push the button to open the trunk and when I hear he

*Violet's POV*When Kane drives away I feel like I’ve lost something I never really had in the first place. I head up to my room and find Stella lying on her bed watching a show on her laptop.She sits up in bed aggressively and says, “Girl, tell me EVERYTHING about this weekend! I saw your post on insta and you seriously need to take me to that club.”I tell her all of the parts that don’t involve Kane and then we proceed to watch a movie together before going to dinner. After dinner she tells me there’s a party at one of the frat houses (not Kane’s) but I tell her that I’m pretty tired out from the drive and that I wanna be functioning properly for my classes tomorrow.As she’s getting ready, I see that it’s 7 so I facetime Jace. He picks up quickly and I see him lying on his stomach on his bed.“Hey Vi.”“Hey,” I reply awkwardly.“I’m sorry ab

Between Love and Hate Our Beginning
*Violet's POV* We meet my Dad downstairs for breakfast and discuss our strategy for dealing with my mother. Personally, I don’t think it’s going to make any difference what we say if she hasn’t cooled off since yesterday, but it can’t hurt to have a plan. After some discussion, we finally come to the conclusion that none of us has any clue how to approach this so we’re just going to show up and hope she’s feeling more reasonable today. Dad drives us there and we walk up to the front door and stand there awkwardly, unsure if we should be knocking or not. It reminds me of the first time I came here with Kane. Naturally, my brain starts flooding with other memories of that same trip and I feel my cheeks heat up. Get it together Violet. After several seconds, my dad sighs and takes the initiative to knock. We wait there awkwardly for a few minutes before the door swings open to reveal my mother, dressed in a skin tight black dress with her hair curled and
Between Love and Hate Awake
*Kane's POV*I’m very pleasantly surprised that Malcolm is so accepting of this. He’s probably the only stable parental figure I’ve ever witnessed. No wonder Violet talks so highly of him. He’s what a father should be and I’m glad she had him to raise her.Truthfully, I don’t know what I would have done if he had reacted the same way as her mother. I don’t think I would have been able to handle causing her that kind of pain, but at the same time, I’m not sure I would have been able to let her go either.“Are you guys hungry? Should we order some food?” Malcolm asks.“Yeah, I could eat,” Violet says and looks at me and I smile. I’m glad she seems to be doing better since breakfast. It was really hard for me to watch her struggle, knowing it was my fault. Malcolm nods and then raises his hand to get the waiter’s attention.We order our food and we eat mostly in
Between Love and Hate My Entire World
*Violet's POV*When she tells us to get out, I’m still too mad at her for what she said to Kane to be upset about it. I stand up from my chair and storm out the door, and I know he’s following me.Once I make it out the front door, I storm down the driveway and sit on the curb of the sidewalk. “Well that could have gone better.”Kane sits down beside me and says, “It also could have gone worse.”“I know, you’re right. The important part went okay. And my mom will come around. I think.”He puts his arm around me and I cuddle into his side. “Are you going to be okay if she doesn’t?” He asks me.“I think so. I mean, she was never really there for me before anyway. It’s my dad I’m more nervous about. That would much more difficult.”“I mean, I don’t know your dad, but from what you’ve told me, he seems like a pretty unde
Between Love and Hate Alibi
*Kane's POV*After breakfast, we take a shower and then pull out our laptops to study, awaiting the inevitable phone call we’re going to receive today. We both keep checking our phones and I’m a little surprised when it’s lunch time and we still haven’t received anything.We go down to the restaurant and I’m glad to see that Violet is doing better than she did with breakfast. It takes her a while to do it, but she finishes most of her food. If last night caused her to relapse, I would never be able to forgive myself.We head back up to the room, and just as I open my laptop, my phone buzzes and I see Heather’s name pop up. I answer it on speaker phone.“Hello?”“Kane,” Heather sobs through the phone. “Something awful has happened.”“What is it?”“It’s your father. He- He’s dead.” This is the part where my acting skills are
Between Love and Hate The Knife
*Violet's POV*As I pull the knife out of the butcher block, I can feel my heart rate increasing. I walk over behind the couch where Harper is sitting. This is the part Kane and I argued most over. He wanted to be the one to do it, but I don’t know how to use a gun.“No. I don’t think that. I think a knife is more your style,” Kane says to him.As I raise the knife up over my head, I don’t allow myself any time to consider my options before I bend over so that my head is about level with his, and then I plunge the knife down into his chest, right where his black heart should be. I let go and back away immediately. He does exactly what I had hoped he would do.He grabs onto the knife with both hands and attempts to pry it out. Now his fingerprints will be the only ones on there. I walk over to stand beside Kane and watch as he looks between the two of us. Blood begins to gurgle out of his mouth and I lean into Kane, plac
Between Love and Hate Confession Letter
*Kane's POV*The whole week, Violet and I spent studying and also going over our plan to the point where it might have been considered slightly obsessive. Exams start next week followed by Christmas break so if we don’t do this now, we’ll have to wait until after Christmas and I don’t think either of us wants to have to spend time with my father over the holidays. Besides, the longer we wait the more danger we’re putting the new housekeeper in.On Friday after class, we head to the hotel as we have every single other time, check in at the counter where the same lady is always working. We head to our room and do all of the things we normally do: we get dressed, go to dinner and then head back up to the room, placing the “do not disturb” sign on the door.Violet then sets up her laptop which is set to play 2 different audio tracks at random times through the night to mimic our normal night time activities. We then proceed
Between Love and Hate My Eyes Only
*Violet's POV*When I wake up, I hear Kane’s deep breathing coming through the phone. I usually wake up first on weekends so it’s not a surprise. I sit up in bed and pull out a book to read while I wait for him to wake up.Almost an hour later, I hear movement through the phone and then a clattering sound and then a muffled “Fuck.” I stifle a giggle and then say, “Rough start?”“Sorry darling, did I wake you? I knocked the phone onto the floor.”“No, I was already awake. I was just reading.”“I see. What time are you leaving?”Sometime after lunch. Stella went home for the weekend, so my room is empty tonight.”“Okay, just text me when you’re leaving and I’ll meet you at your room, yeah?”“Yeah. I can’t wait to see you,” I say with a smile. I can’t even believe I’m leaving my father a day ear
Between Love and Hate 12 Hours
*Kane's POV*After hanging up the phone, I sit on my bed and try to calm myself down. I was worried she might run into Jace on this little trip, but I did not consider that she might have dinner with him and then a whole conversation about potentially becoming friends.I know how much she hated it when Jace was all jealous about Lucas so I tried really hard on the phone not to be but now I can’t get images of them laughing and talking and hanging out at dinner with both of their parents; things normal couples do. I can’t give her that and he can.I should have just let her go. I should have let her find some nice, normal guy to date. She shouldn’t be stuck with me. No, she’s not stuck. She wants to be here, right? She tells me that all the time. God I wish she were here now.I realize I’m pacing around my room and try to force myself to calm down. I grab the scotch from my desk drawer and down several gulps and th
Between Love and Hate Friends Again
*Violet's POV*Once again, driving away from Kane feels like I’m driving in the wrong direction. I blast my music and think about how nice it will be to see my father and Rebecca instead. I really do feel bad about not visiting more often.When I drive past Jace’s old house I cringe. Shit. I didn’t even think about the fact that he would probably be here. Well, hopefully I can just avoid him. Dad told me a few weeks back that Amelia and Preston know about the break up so even if I do run into them, I won’t have to lie.I pull into the driveway and text Kane telling him I arrived and then grab my bag and head inside. When I open the door and walk in, I hear Amelia’s voice coming from the living room. Fuck. Maybe she’s alone? I see my Dad walk around the corner and he comes up to give me a hug.“Hey kiddo! It’s so good to see you!”“Hi Dad. It’s good to see you too. Did I h
