Chapter36- Why me?

A question which runs through Violet's head after Duncan and Quigley have an argument about her

This request is from a guest review so thank you to whoever gave the recommendation

It had been a year since the Quagmire's and Baudelaire's had reunited the six of them had bought a large house in the city with plenty of space, Violet having turned 18 shortly after their return from the Island inherited the Baudelaire fortune and became the legal guardian to her siblings and incidentally the Quagmires who were half a year younger than her. Klaus and Isadora began to date not long after they met again. Sunny had been enrolled into school and her very sharp teeth were permanent she was also a budding chef and enjoyed cooking for her siblings and their friends.

However on this particular day, Klaus and Isadora had decided that they were spending the day together and were currently lay in bed enjoying each other's company "your eyes see into my heart, from you never would I part" Isadora said Klaus laughed and kissed the top of her head "I honestly think you should write a book Is your couplets are amazing"

"You would say that you're my boyfriend" Isadora replied.

"I think that we have done enough talking beautiful" Klaus said rolling them over so he was looking down at her Isadora giggled and leaned up meeting his lips in a kiss.

Yet everything wasn't as romantic downstairs, Quigley and Duncan were sat in the library and Violet was in her inventing room which was attached to the library. Quigley figured now was a good time to tell his brother his feelings for Violet "Duncan I need to say something to you" he said. Duncan however was thinking the same thing "I need to tell you something as well Quigley"

"Okay you first" said Quigley

"No you" Duncan said

"Together suggested Quigley

"Together" said Duncan. Both boys opened their mouths and said just what was on their minds "I like Violet" they both said they stared at each other in disbelief.

"Why do you always do this Quigley, every time I like someone you conveniently like the same girl" Duncan exploded

"It's not my fault maybe you should grow a spine and ask her out before I have a chance" Quigley responded, with a growl Duncan launched himself at his brother who pushed him back and tackled him to the ground Duncan pulled his legs up kicking his brother in the shins making him yelp and getting him in choke hold but not enough to make him pass out. The noise however even though it was not heard by Klaus and Isadora upstairs it was heard by Violet who's studio was attached to the Library, throwing down her goggles she walked in to the Library and looked at the sight in front of her both brothers were glaring at each other and supporting a couple of bruises, Quigley had black eye and Duncan had a bloodied nose from when Quigley threw back his head to get out of his brother's hold "What the hell is going on?" she half yelled half asked normally they got along rather well. The pair looked at her suddenly ashamed "sorry we got into a bit of an argument over the fact we both like the same girl it got slightly out of hand" Duncan said sheepishly.

"You see Duncan this is why I use to get the girls you cave to easily" Quigley said. Duncan turned back to his brother "at least I wasn't a jerk to them" this time it was Quigley who threw the first punch shit thought Violet where's Isadora when you need her Isadora was the only one who was able to break up her brother's arguing. Violet dashed upstairs and knocked on her friend's door there was no answer so Violet peeked in no one was there she next headed to her brother's room that was the other place Isadora was most likely to be. There was the sound of laughter coming from inside, cautiously Violet opened the door and let out a yelp of horror as she saw something, she did not want to see Isadora and Klaus quickly covered themselves both blushing deeply at having been caught. "How long have you guys been…" she asked faintly.

"A few weeks" answered Isadora.

"I see I'm not going to say anything but, Klaus I hope you are fully aware that Duncan and Quigley are going to kill you" Violet said as the two dressed.

"Yes I am why are you here anyway?" Klaus asked his sister this bought Violet back to the reason why she was here "right Isadora I need your help both Duncan and Quigley are fighting downstairs"

"What again" exclaimed Isadora rushing out the room while finishing pulling her t-shirt on. It was a few minutes before Violet and Klaus followed neither saying anything, they entered the Library where they found Duncan and Quigley sat opposite each other with ice for their bruises and Isadora glaring at them she faced the siblings "So do you want to know what they were fighting about? Go on tell her" she said scowling.

"We both like you Violet" Duncan said looking at the floor. Violet was shocked she had never really thought that she would be the cause of arguments

"I'm sorry about this" Quigley told her not looking at her either.

"Ok but what I don't understand is why fight over me instead of just asking" she said. Neither brother responded "listen I do like one of you a lot, Quigley I'm sorry but I only see you as a friend I shouldn't have led you on when we climbed the waterfall it was just that I missed Duncan so much and you look so much like him I got really confused" Violet explained "I like Duncan and have done since we met in English at Prufrock, but I never said anything because I didn't want to loose Issy as a friend or know if he liked me back that was until I saw the carving in the red herring statue" she finished. Quigley looked over at his brother then at Violet and smiled "I guess then that's all there is too it, Duncan sorry about that I guess I never really thought on how much it would hurt you.

"It's alright Quigley you were right I should have told her sooner" the two brothers forgave each other. "Hey Quigley I know that this seems weird but have you tried asking Fiona out she likes you thinks your very charming" Violet told him as she sat next to Duncan. Quigley gave her a small smile maybe it wasn't so bad after all. However the only thing which was running through Violet's Head was why me?
