SEVERAL DAYS HAVE GONE BY and James and Martin have seemed to have gotten closer lately.

After many months away from school, Violet decided she would go back today. Martin was hesitant at first, but he eventually gave in, knowing Violet is an amazing convincer.

Hawk wasn't sure if she should be back either, but on the other hand, he was happy that his girlfriend was feeling better.

Violet was in her room, putting on her school uniform, flattening down her skirt while looking at herself in the mirror.

Violet saw the reflection of Hawk in her mirror, surprised to see her boyfriend here this early.

"You look gorgeous as always, my love." Hawk walked behind Violet and gently placed his hands on her waist, pulling her closer to his body.

"Thanks, Eli. To be honest, I'm a little scared to go back to school. You know with my hair and all." Hawk hated to see Violet feel insecure about herself.

"Princess, don't worry about them. It's just you and me. Well, also Demetri I guess." Violet laughed slightly before picking up her backpack to go downstairs.

"Hey, good morning sunshine." James greeted as his niece walked downstairs.

"Hey, Uncle. So you guys don't have to pick me up after school today. Eli is going to take me to get ice cream."

Martin and James looked at each other and smirked slightly before their gaze returned to Violet.

"Okay, have a good day at school kids," Martin said while taking a sip of his coffee.

The two teenagers left the home and Martin and James sat there in silence, not really sure what else to say to each other.

"More coffee?" James offered to Martin.

"Oh, yes, of course, thank you." Martin smiled at James who smiled back at him.

"So, I don't mean to intrude, but would you like to talk about what happened? You know with your ex. It's not good to hold in emotions like this." Martin was contemplating t first whether or not he should talk about his ex to a person he was deeply attracted to.

"Sure, i-it be nice to finally tell someone other than Violet."

James smiled then put down his newspaper to have his attention fully on Martin.

"I'm all ears."

At school, Violet was sitting in her second-period class, about to fall asleep due to the boring facts of history her teacher was blabbing about. Her eyelids were slowly starting to become heavier, until she felt a tight-knotted pain in her chest, making her grab it.

The pain lasted there for about thirty seconds, but her teacher calling her name interrupted her thoughts.

"Ms. Ocean, are you still with us?" Violet only nodded and the teacher went back to her boring lessons.

Violet was contemplating whether or not she should text Hawk about the pain, but she decided to let it go, thinking it was nothing.

Also, Hawk would have gone into full protective mode and Violet didn't want that at school to make people think she is weak.

Violet was taking notes again when the pain came back. This time it was more painful and the pain was starting to become unbearable. Her chest felt like it was being twisted like a Twizzler and someone was trying to rip it out of her chest.

Not knowing what else to do, Violet raised her hand so she could go to the bathroom.

"Ms. Shmidt, may I please use the restroom?" Ms.Shmidt noticed Violet didn't look well.

"Sure, are you okay honey?" Violet only nodded and ran out the door, quickly trying to find the closest bathroom.

She ran into one of the stalls and tried to take deep breaths.

She didn't want to call anyone for help because being the stubborn person she is, Violet kept trying to reassure herself that she is fine and she didn't need any help.

"Fuck, you motherfucking bitch." Violet was cussing at the pain who started to travel upwards near her collar bone.

Still, Violet reassured herself that she was fine.

The dull ache kept nagging Violet's chest, the pain trying to enter her head.

Finally, Violet pulled out her phone and tried to send a text to Hawk, but by then, it was too late.

*❀❁❀*

Ms. Shmidt was worried for Violet, knowing she is an exceptional student and would not run out of class for fun. So she decided to let a student check on her for precautionary measures.

"Tory, can you please check the bathrooms to see if Violet is okay." The girl nodded and proceeded to check all of the bathrooms.

In the second bathroom she checked, she heard soft noises.

"Hello, Violet? Are you in here?" Tory checked all of the stalls and in the last stall, she noticed how it was locked.

Peeking her head under the stall, she saw Violet, passed out on the ground, her face starting to turn slightly blue.

"Violet! Oh my god, can you hear me?" Tory put two fingers on her neck near the carotid artery, checking to see if she still had a pulse.

She had a pulse, but it was weak.

The first thing Tory did was call 911, knowing she would definitely need medical attention. She saw Violet's phone screen light up with Hawk's contact on it.

Tory knew the two were a couple and she put two and two together to find out Violet was trying to text Hawk that she wasn't feeling well.

Tory picked up Violet's phone and decided to text Hawk.

Hawk, go to the B wing bathroom right now! Urgent. It's Violet.
