The next day at breakfast was unusually quiet, obviously Isadora had told Duncan and Klaus. Violet however seemed oblivious to it all.
Finally Klaus could stand it no longer. "So Quigley," he said. "Have fun ruining my sisters innocence yesterday?"
Quigley was silent, he didnt want to get into an arguement.
Violet however was shocked. "How?" she asked. "do you know?"
"That doesnt matter." Klaus said, his voice rising. "Im sure Quigley knows."
"Did you say something," Violet asked Quigley.
"No," Quigley said. "It doesnt matter how they know." he didnt want to drag Isadora into this, especially because she was looking upset and sitting silently at the table.
"You still havent answered my question." Klaus said, his voice had started to become softer. "Was it enjoyable?"
"You know perfectely well, I am not answering that." Quigley said.
"Its not that hard to answer." Klaus said, "Its a simple yes or no."
Quigley shook his head, "Im not answering it." he said.
Klaus looked as if he were about to explode. "Im sure screwing my sister was enjoyable." he screamed. Everyone in the cafeteria grew silent and stared and them trying to figure out who Klaus was talking about. "I hate you."
Isadora stood up. "Stop it." she yelled. "Please, stop fighting." She burst into tears and ran off.
"Nice going." Quigley said sarcastically to Klaus, He followed Isadora out the door.
Duncan, Violet and Klaus sat silentely eating their breakfast.
Quigley chased Isadora out the door. "Hey," he called to her. "Isadora,"
Isadora stopped running and turned to Quigley. "Im sorry," she said. "For running out."
"I dont blame you," Quigey replied bringing the distressed Isadora into a tight hug. "I am so sorry, I wish I could turn back time, then none of this would happen,"
Isadora pulled herself away from Quigley, "Why?" she asked. "Did you do that?"
Quigley looked down, "She told me she loved me." he said. "But I guess she was just using me, I tried to stop her but she was too upset, I couldnt, I am so sorry, I should have never..." hisvoice trailed off.
Isadora took Quigleys hand. "Hey." she said. "Its not all your fault, Ok, its mostly your fault but not all."
Quigley smiled. "I wish it never happened," he said. "I love Violet, but she hasnt been the same lately, I wish she would be her old self again."
"Me too," Isadora agreed. "Do you really love her?"
Quigley smiled. "More than you can imagine." he said.
Isadora smiled, "Well, why are you telling me this?" she said. "Tell Violet, she needs someone to talk to, let her know that you love her, it might make her feel better."
Quigley nodded, "Alright," he said. "I hope I can do that."
"Good," Isadora continued, feeling rather proud of herself. "Now, we must get back to breakfast, Im hungry. Oh, and by the way, promise me you wont yell at Klaus, he is just upset."
"I promise," Quigley said. "After all, we dont want Klaus to be hurt, do we?" a small smirk spread across his face.
Isadora blushed. "Just get to breakfast." she said. "Go on, hurry up."
Quigley smiled at his sister, grateful for her advice and followed her back to the breakfast table.
"Violet," Quigley said, once he had sat down. "I need to tell you something."
Klaus glared at him. "You are not going to hurt my sister again," he said in an angered tone. "Dont you think you have already ruined her life enough?"
Isadora took Klaus's hand and whispered something in his ear, afterwards Klaus seemed to calm down considerably.
After breakfast Quigley took Violets hand and led her into a deserted room so that he could say what he wanted in privacy. Violet however took it as an invitation and no sooner had he
shut the door behind him, Violet began to kiss him, pushing him against the door. Quigley pushed her off and held her at arms length. "Violet," he said in a calm voice. "I really do need to talk to you."
Violet looked down, she obviously did not want to talk.
"Violet," Quigley said, he placed his hand under her chin and lifed her head up so that he was staring at her in the eyes. "I love you,"
Violet stared at him for a moment, she didnt want to lie to him again, "I dont," she whispered back, tears falling down her face,
Quigley felt as if something hard had just hit him, Violet had used him, and now he knew it. "Talk to me," he whispered softly. "Tell me what is wrong."
Violet fell to the ground and buried her face in her hands and began crying heavily. "Im so sorry." she cried. "I didnt mean to hurt you, I just wanted someone to look after me, love me."
Quigley sat next to her on the ground and placed an arm around her. "Its all right," he said. Violet collapsed in his arms and cried. She couldnt stop crying, she was very upset.
"I am so sorry," she wept, she was now thinking about everything she had done over the past week. "I am so sorry." she said again.
"It is alright," Quigley said. "You were upset, you couldnt control yourself, its alright."
"Is everyone mad with me?" Violet asked. "I would be angry with me."
Quigley sighed, "No one is angry with you," he said. "Everyone understands," he stood up and helped Violet stand up. "We better get back, we dont want everyone to think we are up to no good" Quigley said, he took Violets hand and began to lead her out of the room.
"Quigley," Violet said.
"Yeah," Quigley said turning around.
"I love you," Violet said smiling, "Thank you." she leaned forward and softely kissed him on the mouth, she meant it, she loved him, only she didnt realise it until now.
Quigley smiled. "Come on," he said. They walked hand in hand to the library where they expected the others to be and sure enough they were in there, quielty reading and talking around the table at the back of the room.
Quigley and Violet walked over to them. "Im sorry," Violet said. "I havent been myself lately, but Im better now, I am so sorry."
Klaus opened his mouth to say something but Isadora covered his mouth with her hand knowing exactely what he was going to say and smiled at Violet, "Thats alright," she said. "Everyone has bad moments, but it sure is good to have the old Violet back." she removed her hand from Klaus's mouth.
Violet smiled. "Next time," she said. "You might have to knock me back to my senses."
"Next time," Quigley replied, "There is not going to be a next time."
"Oh," Violet said, "And how do you know that?"
"Because," Quigley said. "My job is to make you smile." with that he lifted the giggling Violet off the ground and kissed her.
Isadora watched on smiling, although Klaus and Duncan seemed to be not as happy.
The End.
All done, hope it wasnt too horrible, Now R&R, PLZ
