The Aftermath

I know it has been a while since I wrote anything, but I am gonna try and finish this story in the next couple of weeks.

I do not own any of these characters or am in any way affiliated with the movie.

---------------------------------

When Viola awoke she was alone. She had a terrible headache and could barely breathe. She had to get help. She didn't want to call Duke because she didn't want to explain why she let Justin in her house. She decided she should call Yvonne. Unfortunately there was no answer. There was no answer with Paul, Kia, or Sebastian either. That only left Duke and she was really afraid to call him, but she didn't have a choice.

As she dialed Dukes number she got more and more scared. The phone just kept on ringing. When she was about to give up Duke answered.

"Hello!"

"Duke, you have to help me. I didn't want to call you, but there was no one else answering."

"Viola, calm down. What is going on?"

"Justin was here. He was so angry. I am so scared right now."

"Are you ok. Did he hurt you?"

"Yes. I need to go to the hospital."

"Viola, I am on my way. Just lock the door and don't let anyone in unless you hear my voice. Do you hear me?"

" I hear you Duke. Thank you so much."

About thirty minutes later Viola heard a car pull up. Afraid it was Justin she hid behind the couch hoping he would go away.

"Viola it's me. Open the door." She heard Duke say through the door.

She ran to open the door. When he pulled her into his arms.

Duke heard Viola wince with pain and pushed her away so he could see what had happened. What he saw made him swear he would kill Drayton.

"Vi, let me look at you. Let me see what he did."

"I'm so sorry Duke. This is all my fault. I never should have let him in. I never should have made him mad."

"Baby, nothing you could have done was deserving of this. Let me see your injuries."

Duke looked at her face and saw that she had a black eye and her lip was busted. It was when he raised her shirt and saw the bruises on her torso that he felt sick.

"I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch. But first I need to get you to the hospital. We need to see if you have any broken bones."

"Okay but then we need to talk. I have to tell you something."

"Whatever you have to tell me can wait until after the hospital."
