-1The Next Morning

I do not own any of these characters nor am I in anyway affiliated with the movie.

I am just a huge fan who didn't want to see the movie end and am living through my writing a longer storyline.

The next morning Duke woke up before his alarm went off. He rolled over and felt something warm and soft laying next to him, when it all came back to him. Viola and the night they shared, which was only dulled by the fact that they still had Drayton to contend with. Duke would deal with him when she wasn't around.

"Psst, hey Vi, I've gotta go. I have some things I have to take care of."

"Things like what? I can come with you. I really don't want to be here alone."

"Drayton has no idea that you spent the night, this is the safest place for you to be. I will only be gone a couple of hours or so, me and the guys were going to go hang out and do some guy stuff."

"Guy stuff, what kind of guy stuff?"

"Oh you know, go to the mall and check out all of the hot chicks that walk by and then we were going to come back here and check out the girls swim team."

"Uh, yeah, that's not gonna work for me so your just gonna have to stay here with me today."

"I can't Vi, I already promised the guys, were just gonna go into town and help Toby pick something out for Eunice."

"Oh well, then go ahead."

Duke kissed her good-bye and said he would be thinking about her every second he was gone.

Duke looked around the soccer field at Cornwall until he found what or should he say who he was looking for. He was with the rest of his team though and he couldn't very well take on the rest of the himself. What should he do? So he decided to call for back up.

"Toby, I need you to get Andrew and Sebastian and the rest of the team and meet me at the soccer field at Cornwall. Turns out Drayton has been threatening Vi and last night he told her he would kill both of us if he couldn't have her. I was going to handle this alone, but he is with the rest of his team."

"We got your back I'm on it. We'll meet you there in an hour."

With that Duke closed his phone and just stood there watching Drayton with hatred filling him to the core. Duke had never hated anyone before, but then again no one had ever threatened the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

"Whoa, did I just say that? Where did that come from, I've only known her for a few weeks, but in that short period of time she had became the most important person in the world to him and he would do anything to keep her safe.

An hour later on the dot, Duke saw the team walking towards him and ran to catch up to them.

"You guys follow my lead and wait to see if anything happens. If we start fighting, which we will wait until the team starts to jump in and then have my back. Right now you guys are just here for moral support."

"You got it." he heard Toby say as he walked towards the field.

As Duke approached, Justin stopped practicing and walked up to Duke.

"What are you doing here Orsino, don't you have some little bitch who needs to be babysat."

"Watch it Drayton, I only came here to tell you that if you ever threaten Viola again I will kill you. Do you understand me?""

"Well isn't this sweet the little Illyria tramp sicking her little captain boyfriend on me? What are you gonna do Duke fight the whole team?"

"No actually, the whole team is going to fight the whole team."

"Listen up, I want all of you here on the Cornwall team to hear exactly what your great captain has been up to since he was dumped by Viola Hastings, my new girlfriend. He has been calling her and harassing her threatening to kill her if she sees me and threatening to kill both of us if we choose to continue our relationship. Now I know none of you have any reason to trust me, but ask yourself this would I bring myself all the way to your school just to fight over a girl I already have. If you guys want to defend him, I completely understand with him being your captain and all, but take a look over at the bleachers. I didn't come alone."

With that Duke had just enough time to look back at him before Justin had threw the first punch, Duke quickly regained his composure and it was on. Duke threw a right hook which caught him straight in the jaw. Just as Drayton went down he felt someone hit him in the back of the head. When he turned around there was one of the Cornwall players ready to pounce. He didn't have a chance though, Toby grabbed him and started throwing punch after punch after punch, the guy went down quickly and then both teams were in a full brawl.

Duke managed to get it together and punched Justin before he could get up and realized he had knocked out one of his teeth. He was just getting ready to hit him again when someone grabbed him from behind.

Duke turned around ready to hit the person and realized it was Sebastian.

"Calm down Duke you don't want to kill him, I think he gets the message. Does Viola know where you are, because I can't imagine her allowing this."

"No she doesn't but I will tell her when we get back."

"You know she is not going to be happy about this? Olivia is going to kill me for helping you lie to my sister."

"After your sister pretending to be you and lying to me the whole time she was here, I think I deserve this one. Besides that man I would think you would be glad that I wanted to defend your sister, since you were there to do it."

"Duke, I have one question. Are you sure that she was telling the truth about Drayton threatening her when she called you?"

"I heard him on the phone threatening to kill her if she didn't stay away from me, why would you think she could make something up like this?"

"Well right before Toby called, I was talking to Kia who said that Vi had came up with some plan to get you to talk to her and that she was staying with us until mom got back into town. Then Toby called and said there was a problem here. When I heard what you were saying I thought maybe this was her plan."

"No that can't be. I heard her on the phone with him and even heard him threatening her. She wouldn't make something up like that, would she?

"I don't know man, but if you say you heard him then she must be telling the truth right?"

Justin had overheard the conversation and could not believe that Viola had lied to Duke about this and made him out to be some woman beater. Sure he had threatened her, but he would never really have hurt her.

"Hey, I heard what you were talking about and have to ask, did Viola tell you this before or after I called her."

"Well before why?"

"Because that was the first time I had talked to Vi since the soccer game. I may have threatened her and you on the phone, but I would never have physically hurt her, I was just trying to scare her into coming back to me. Face it man she lied to you again."
