oo6. Hearing the News
The next morning when Sebastian woke up at eleven o'clock. As he was looking at the alarm clock for the time, he noticed his phone was blinking a red light. Usually when it did that he had a new voicemail message. He sat up in bed and grabbed his phone, and listened to his voicemail. As he heard Viola's message he could tell Viola was upset about something. He knew it wasn't something their mother did because Viola didn't care about her. He decided to give her a call and find out what was wrong.
Viola woke up to her phone ringing. She groaned and looked at her phone, mentally wanting to kill whoever was calling her. The worst phone call you could get is when you're sleeping. When she saw it was Sebastian she wasn't mad as she was before. He was the only one she didn't stay mad at for waking her up. "Hello?"
"Hey. It's Sebastian. I just got your message. Sorry I must've been sleeping when I got it." Sebastian explained.
Viola got out of bed and stood in front of her mirror. She started taking the picture of Justin and her out from the corners. "Oh. Well you didn't need to call me back. The message was pretty self-explanatory."
"Yeah I know but you sounded kind of upset on the message." Sometimes she would tell him what was going on and other times she would just wave it off like it was nothing she couldn't handle. Either way he always offered just in case she wanted to talk to him about it.
"I wasn't really upset, just kind of annoyed and tired." She waited a few seconds before talking again. "I broke up with Justin last night."
Sebastian was happy she finally broke up with Justin. He never liked him even though Justin really never gave him a reason to. Maybe it was because he was dating his sister which that in itself was enough of a reason for him. You always had to be careful when your sister dated a jock since they all want one thing. "Shouldn't you be really excited then or happy or something?" He still didn't understand how she could sound upset when she did something she wanted to. That is unless he cheated on her or something equally bad. "Vi did you break up with him for something he did to you?"
Viola sighed. "No nothing bad like that. I just didn't think he cared enough about me. I just thought it was time. I've been thinking about it for a week but I actually went through with it last night."
Sebastian nodded even though he knew Viola couldn't see him.
"Are you there?" Viola could hear Sebastian breathing and knew he didn't hang up since there was no dial tone.
"Yeah sorry. If you want to hang out or something you can always come here or I could always go back there and you can listen to me playing my guitar." He had joked about her listening to him play. Sure Viola supported his music like he did her soccer but she didn't always like listening to his stuff. He wasn't joking about them hanging out. Viola and him were closer than anyone could possibly be.
"No it's okay. I'm not a wreck or anything like that. I'm just going to go about with my normal routine. Like I implied before, it's really not a big loss." Viola really didn't care that she broke up with Justin. She knew she didn't need him to survive. It was nice to hear her brother was there for her if she needed him though. She couldn't say the same for her mother or her father. They were both consumed in their own lives to care about what their children did or what was going on in their lives.
"Ok well if your sure." said Sebastian as he heard something on the other side of their door. He figured it was Duke and was correct when Duke entered the room.
Duke saw Sebastian on the phone so he would keep quiet until he got off.
"Never more sure in my life. I'll talk to you later." said Viola.
"Okay bye." Sebastian responded and then hung up the phone after hearing Viola had already done so.
Duke looked at Sebastian. "So who was that?" He opened his closest and got out a pair of sweatpants, exchanging them for the jeans he was currently wearing.
Sebastian grabbed his guitar next to his bed and started to strum. "Viola. She broke up with her boyfriend last night."
Duke nodded. He didn't know what to say since he really wasn't close enough friends to her. Sure she was willing to help him but it's not like he could call her and just talk about what was going on. "Is she okay?" He thought he would go with the safest and easiest question.
"Yeah. Says she's fine."
Duke nodded and laid down on his bed to take a nap. Despite going to bed around 11:30 last night, he woke up pretty early and now it was starting to get to him.
Sebastian decided to let his roommate sleep and go outside where he could meet more people.

After getting off the phone with Sebastian, Viola laid back down on her bed and stared at the ceiling. Sure she wanted to break up with Justin but he still was a big part of her life. They had been dating for almost years, afterall. It was just going to take some time to get used to.

Ok so I wasn't planning on having just this in the chapter but I haven't updated for a week and I didn't want you guys to think I wasn't going to continue. I am. I've just been busy, I had a job interview and now I'm working so I've been a little busy and I had a ten page paper due yesterday and I never do it early than I really should be. But this week is the last week for classes which are only two days and next week I have three finals. Besides work, I'm all yours after that.
Thank you for those who reviewed. There are some of you who added this story either to your alert list or favorites. Please review. Sorry it took a little longer thank normal for me to update. Besides not having the next chapter not ready, my internet and cable haven't been working for a day.
And for anyone who can help me with this. About how many days into when Viola went to Illyria was the carnival? I know they never said but what would you think? I would think it would be on a friday or saturday. If that's the case then I still have a whole week to write for but I would probably include a couple days in one chapter.
Anyway hopefully you liked this chapter and continue reviewing.
