Violet sat in front of her computer staring in horror as she read article after article about the Westfield Massacre and the victims: Chloe Stapleton, Kyle Greenwell, Amir Stanley, Stephanie Boggs, and Kevin Gedman.
Violet had seen the teens leaving her house last night and chasing after Tate down the street as she walked home. She felt like they looked familiar but had shrugged it off and went inside her house and went to sleep, forgetting about it. But when she woke up the next morning, she suddenly realized why they looked familiar.
Leah had showed her a picture of them one day while they hung out at the other girls house. Leah had explained who they were and what happened, how they were victims of a massacre in the late 1990s and they were all killed in the library hiding away from the murderer.
They hadn't finished the conversation as Violet had leaned in and kissed her. It was their first kiss and Violet's first one ever and wasn't their last one either, thankfully.
Violet had woken up and immediately went to her laptop and typed in Westfield Massacre in the search engine and felt horror as she stared at the pictures of the kids she saw last night leaving her house. She didn't know how they were there, or how they were alive when the article's clearly said they all died in 1994.
But Violet had seen them leaving her house and looking very much alive as they chased her brother's boyfriend down the street and pass Violet who was walking home from Leah's house from another date.
Violet pursed her lips and willed herself to click on a different article that named and showed the school shooter and froze in fear when she saw the picture of a smiling blonde headed boy.
It was Tate, her brother's boyfriend.
Violet felt sick as she stared at the computer screen with tears as she read the headline. Suspect In School Shooting Found Dead.
She had to tell Teddy about what she found, even if he didn't like it. Violet had to protect Teddy like her brother had been protecting her since they were kids.
Teddy sat in his bed and stared at his wall blankly as his sister told him everything. About Tate, the massacre at Westfield in the 1940s, everything. She didn't leave a single detail out, even when he told her to stop. Violet showed him the articles and the pictures of the Westfield Victims and they were the teenagers from Halloween night.
He didn't say anything in response as she talked and just kept staring at the wall with blank expression. After Violet said told him everything and he said nothing in turn, she left him with a sad and sorry look as she walked away, leaving his laptop open with the pictures of the kids staring at him, taunting him almost with their smiles and happy faces.
Teddy suddenly felt anger as he threw his laptop against the wall and screamed. He screamed and screamed, letting out all of frustration as picked up the laptop and started to repeatedly slam his laptop against the wall until all that was left was a mangled, broken thing. Just like him.
God, they played him like a fool, didn't they?
First Tate with his false smiles and sweet lies, then Constance with her fake regret and her play to enact his pity for both her and her son.
Teddy realized that he had fallen in love with Tate on Halloween night as he sat in Constance kitchen and smoked a cigarette. He felt love and heartache for Tate, first from his confessions and heartbreaking speech about school, and then from Constance's sob story. He wasn't even surprised that she used Teddy's love for her son and his guilt and pity for Addy against him.
No, what hurt the worst was the fact that Tate had lied to him. About the kids from Halloween night, his mother, his medicine - Teddy had taken a quick snoop around his father's office and saw no where on Tate's medication did it say that it caused erectile dysfunction - and just everything.
