I can't promise that this chapter will be long because I'm writing with a broken thumb and I can only see out of one eye... But I wanted to at least try to update this story.. So hold on folks you're in for a bumpy ride this chapter!

Viola blinked her eyes open slowly and groaned when she tried to move slightly. She blinked her eyes again when she realized that she was being held in place by an arm. It was then that it all came flooding back to her. She couldn't stop the smile from spreading across her face as she looked at the sleeping face of Duke.

She turned her head slightly and was surprised to see it was eight in the morning. Then again she knew that they had both slept restless last night because he did always wake up to make sure he woke her up every four hours. She knew that he had classes today but she was reluctant to wake him up for them because she knew that he needed some interrupted sleep. It was with that thought in mind that she slipped out of the bed carefully and stood up. After taking a few minutes to stretch she walked to the door and opened it slowly so that she wouldn't wake Duke up. Once outside the door to their dorm room she walked across the hall and knocked on Andrew's and Toby's door.

Andrew and Toby were sitting on their beds talking when a knock sounded on their door. They frowned because they knew it wasn't Duke since he usually just knocked once and then walked in. They looked at one another and then they both got up together and went to the door.

Andrew stood off to the side while Toby pulled open the door. Both of them were surprised to see that it was Viola standing there. They took a minute to look her over before stepping back and motioning for her to come in. They frowned slightly when they noticed how slow she was walking. They also were both worried about how her and Duke were getting along since neither of them saw Duke or her yesterday. They had stopped by to check on them but when they didn't receive an answer to their knock on the dorm room dorm they figured that both of them were asleep which they also figured that both Viola and Duke both needed.

As soon as Viola was in their dorm room Toby turned towards her with concern in his eyes. "How are you feeling Vi?"

Viola chuckled slightly and then gave both Toby and Andrew a smile to let them know that she was alright. "I'm doing alright. I wanted to talk to you two though about something."

Both Toby and Andrew frowned slightly and Andrew said "What is it? Is everything okay with you and with Duke?"

Once again Viola chuckled and held up a hand. "Calm down Andrew everything is fine with me and with Duke. But I wanted to ask you two if you would mind picking up Duke's, Sebastian's and my homework for today and yesterday. I think that Duke needs to sleep. He may have slept off and on yesterday but he needs some interrupted sleep."

Andrew let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding and smiled and nodded. "Of course we will Viola. You two just take it easy today. How's your head doing?"

Viola shrugged and ran a hand over her head where she could still feel the bump. "It's okay. I still have some pain but not nearly as much as I did yesterday and the day before. Thank you both for being such good friends to both Duke and ''Sebastian''."

Toby bit back a chuckle at the way she said "Sebastian's" name. "It's not a problem at all Vi. We've known Duke for a couple years now and "Sebastian" is cool. I hope that you will also consider us your friend."

Viola smiled at Toby and nodded slightly and then winced as it shot some pain through her head. "If course I will Toby. I guess I had better get back over to Duke's and "Sebastian's" dorm before Duke wakes up and freaks because I'm not there. After school and if you two don't have soccer practice today would you two mind going with me to Cesario's? I need to meet up with Kia, Paul and Yvonne."

Andrew and Toby both nodded. "Yeah we'll go with you. You don't need to be out alone until we figure out what the hell that tool Drayton is up to."

Viola laughed and said "Alright guys see you this afternoon and thank you."

Andrew and Toby both grabbed up their backpacks and followed Viola out of their dorm room. They waited until she was safely in Duke's and "Sebastian's" dorm room before heading out of the dorms and to their class.

Viola slipped back into hers and Duke's dorm room and let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Duke was still sleeping. She smiled slightly when she thought about everything that had happened yesterday and how it had felt to sleep in his arms. She shook herself slightly to rid the though of her sleeping in his arms out of her head because she couldn't afford to think about that.

She sat down on her bed and just looked at him. She remembered how caring and considerate he was over her all day yesterday and the night before every time he woke her up. She remembered how caring he was when Vivian had stopped by yesterday morning to check on her. She remembered how sweet he was when she ended up getting sick. She sighed and rubbed a hand down her face. She knew that she was close to falling for him and she couldn't let herself do that. She still had too much going on to be able to focus on him like she would if they were together.

Just as that thought entered her mind her cell phone started ringing. She sighed as she recognized the ring tone. She knew that she couldn't keep ignoring his calls or he would just up what he was already doing to her. She sighed again and then picked her cell phone up. Her eyes were closed so she didn't realize that the ringing of her cell had woke Duke up. "What do you want Drayton? I told you to quit calling me."

Justin laughed on the other end. "That ain't gonna happen Viola. After all we're boyfriend and girlfriend. Why haven't you been at school?"

Viola groaned and said "We are no longer together Justin. I broke up with you. Remember? In fact I threw a soccer ball at you! How in the hell are you the freaking Captain of the boys soccer team when you're so damn stupid!"

Justin gasped and said "We're not over until I say we are Viola. Now get your ass to school because I want to see you. Your Mom just keeps telling me that you're not home."

Viola rubbed her hand over her face and then snapped her eyes open when she felt a hand on her leg. She saw Duke looking at her in concern and she gave him a slight smile as she shook her head. "Listen to me carefully Drayton because this is the last time I'm saying this. We are not together nor will we ever be together again. As for school I no longer go to Cornwall. Mom transferred me to Illyria because Sebastian wasn't doing so well. Now get a life Drayton and leave me alone. And quit showing up at this school. I've seen you and so have others. If you don't back off of me you won't like the results."

Justin laughed and said "You're mine Vi and never forget that. If you do I'll make sure you remember. I'll see you later baby."

Viola stared at her cell in shock after Justin hung up on her. She couldn't stop the shiver that ran through her body at the threat that had been in his tone of voice. She looked up at Duke with wide eyes.
