CHAPTER SEVEN
TRYING TO SET THINGS RIGHT
Sebastian got a cab to his and Viola's mother's house and snuck in the window to his bedroom. He had become very good at this for all the times he wanted out of the house to go with his band. He wanted to see if Viola was here, because if he went through the front door and she wasn't there then he would have to put up talking to his mother when he was wasting valuable time in trying to locate Viola and explain to her what was going on. He quickly checked his room and then snuck down to Viola's.
He knocked gently on the door and then opened it up. Sure enough she was sitting on the bench in front of her window looking out of it.
"Hey Vi." Sebastian said softly.
She looked over at Sebastian and he could tell that she had been crying. The look on her face shocked her, he never really saw her cry all that much, she was always so strong and never let anything get to her, and to see her so broken up almost broke his heart and he knew when he got to the bottom of this he was going to kill the person that was messing with his sister. That's if Duke didn't get to the person responsible first.
"I know why you are crying Vi, Duke told me everything." Sebastian said.
"Yeah I'm sure he told you everything, including the part where he was making out with your girlfriend." Viola said angrily.
"Viola you have to listen to me and you have to really listen to me. Everything you saw tonight isn't true, or at least it isn't true in the sense that you think it is. Duke didn't cheat on you nor was he and Olivia anywhere's near each other tonight. Olivia and I were on a date tonight and we were together all night. There is no way that they were together at all." Sebastian tried to explain.
"So your girlfriend has an alibi, but what about Duke, do you have an alibi for him, was he on a date with you too?" Viola asked sarcastically.
"How do you know it was Duke Vi, seriously, did you see his face?" Sebastian asked, he was trying to pry any bit of faith out of her that Duke wouldn't do that to her.
"I saw his jacket, he is the only one with that jacket and who ever he was kissing was saying his name, but also in that case he was also saying Olivia's." Viola said turning her head back to the window. She couldn't believe that her brother was taking the side of the guy that he hardly knew over his own sister.
"Vi, his jacket went missing a couple days ago. He's been freaking out about it for the last day or so. He has no idea what happened to it, it was just gone one day. Besides if you ask someone I'm sure that some one will tell you he was at Cesario when you ran into that thing on the field." Sebastian said.
"What was he doing at Cesario, we were suppose to meet at his place and he wasn't even there." Viola said shaking her head, everything that Sebastian said was just confused her more.
"There was a note left on his door saying that you were going to meet him there and not at his room. So he automatically went there expecting to find you there." Sebastian said then added, "You really should come and talk to Duke, Vi he didn't do anything, I don't know what is going on here but what ever it is Duke had nothing to do with it, I swear."
Viola didn't say anything but started to cry again. Sebastian got up and went over to his sister and hugged her and let her cry herself to sleep. He didn't know if his words helped at all but he prayed then when she woke up she would go find Duke. He knew how much they cared for each other and he didn't want to see Viola lose that.
The next morning Viola woke up in her bed. She realized that Sebastian must have put her there after she had fallen asleep. She looked over at the alarm clock beside her bed and saw that it was six thirty, normally she would be jogging right now with Duke. Just the thought of him brought tears to her eyes, after everything that Sebastian said last night she didn't know what to believe. Everything was so messed up and she didn't know how to fix them. For now she decided to go for her jog. When she went to grabbed her sneakers on the floor she saw a note from Sebastian.
Viola,
Went back to Illyria so mom wouldn't get back on my case about skipping classes when I just started a new school. Please try to believe what I told you and I'll call you later. Come and talk to Duke trust me everything will work out if you do.
Love you,
Sebastian.
Viola smiled for the first time, she realized how lucky she was to have such a great brother always looking out for her. She decided to go for her run and then pack her bags and go back to Illyria and talk to Duke. Sebastian would never steer her wrong, if he believed for a minute that Duke had cheated on her he would not let her within two feet of him. She decided to trust Sebastian, but first her jog and maybe go down to the field down the road and kick the ball around, that always cleared her head out so it should work now just as well.
In Illyria Duke was still a mess, he hadn't heard from Viola and Sebastian. He had finally fallen asleep on the bench but was woken up by Sebastian coming into the bedroom. Duke jumped off the bench and looked at him hoping to see Viola following him.
"Where is she? Did she believe you?"
"Listen man I did everything I could do for now. Give her time, she may come around, I told her everything and that she should really come talk to you. I don't know if she'll listen to me but hopefully she believes me." Sebastian said calmly.
"So she still thinks I cheated on her, if I ever get my hands on who is behind this I'm going to kill them." Duke said going to punch the wall but Sebastian grabbed his arm.
"I really don't think breaking you hand punch things is the solution. And trust me who ever is behind this was aiming this at me too, trying to set Olivia up too. I'm right there with wanting to kill who ever is behind this." Sebastian said angrily thinking that if he was in Viola's position he would probably be in the same state.
Before either could say anything else Toby and Andrew came running into the room there faces covered with a shocked expression.
"What's going on guys." Duke asked trying to calm himself down.
"I think we over heard something by accident that you should know." Toby said.
"OK." Duke said, waiting to hear more.
"We heard Malcolm on the phone outside talking to someone about how last night was a success and that he was going to pick up the broken pieces of Olivia today and that Draeton should be able to find Viola at her mother's. He said that she took off last after breaking up with you." Andrew said completely confused by what he was telling Duke then asked, "Did you and Viola break up last night, and what the hell is going on with you and Olivia?"
What ever amount of calming down Duke may have done was gone he was furious now.
"I'm going to kill him." Duke said about to rush out of his room and find Malcolm.
Toby and Andrew held him back and Sebastian said angrily, "I think you should go find Viola before Draeton does, I'll take care of Malcolm myself."
Toby and Andrew were so confused now but let go of Duke who took off running to his bike to find Viola and Sebastian took off across campus to find Olivia.
