Would You Say I'm Worthy? (Sequel to So Will You Wait Me Out?)

Time Apart..

Folio's POV: *I made my way into the abandoned house. Dust littered the furniture, floors and walls. The smell was musty and old like a book that hadn't been opened for a long while. The floorboards seemed rotting and some squeaked as I applied my weight to them.*

Folio: *Mumbling to himself.* Smells like shit in here.

"HELP ME! SOMEONE PLEASE FUCKING HELP ME!"

*The hairs on my body stood as I heard a familiar voice scream out in distress. Adrenaline kicked in and I rushed to the source of the noise. I pulled out my butterfly knife from my back pocket and swung the door open and sprinting down the stairs.*

Folio: Oh God. Violet! I'm here. *I rushed over to here and began to cut the rope that bound her hands and feet together.*

Alex: *He steps out from behind an old bookshelf.* Right on time. You must be Nick Folio.

Folio: *I finished untying her and immediately turned to him with a sinister smirk on his face.* So you're the asshat who stole my best friend? Oh you have no idea what's in store for you.

*I swung my knife open, slowly and menacingly making my way towards him.*

Alex: *He took several steps back and nervously laughed.* Really Nicky? You're bringing a knife to a fist fight? That's a little sad. *He taunted.*

Folio: Fists just won't do me justice. *Within a single swift movement, I slid the blade across his neck and sliced his jugular.*

*Blood began to spew from his neck as he collapsed to the floor gasping for air. I watched him struggle to breath with a smile on my face.*

*I kicked his shoulder causing him to stumble back and fall on his ass. My foot found its way to his chest.*

Folio: This one's for Vi.

*I raised my right leg and proceeded to repeatedly stomp on his ribcage causing the bones to splinter and break until the life completely drained from Alex's eyes.*

Violet: Folio, you found me. *Tears began to stream down her pretty face.*

Folio: *I rushed back over to her covered in his blood.* Hey, I'm going to get you out of here. Can you walk?

*Violet shook her head no. I carefully scooped her up into my arms, cradling her bridal style.*

Folio: I got you. You're safe now.

*My heart began to swell as my eyes met with hers. She looked so perfect being in my arms despite the initial cause for it. Her gorgeous blue eyes met with mine and I couldn't help myself anymore. My eyes closed as I leaned in and kissed her tear stained lips.*

Noah: Dude what's taking so long? I thought I heard...

*He stopped at the bottom of the steps as he saw his best friend kissing his fiancée.* ...screams.

*My face turned pale as I saw my best friend standing at the bottom of the basement steps. He caught me.*

Noah: What in the actual fuck...

Violet: You were here this whole time? Why didn't you come save me then?

Noah: The better question is, why are you kissing Folio? Did I fucking miss something?

Folio: She's injured. We should worry about her first...

*Noah grabbed Violet out of my arms and walked outside without saying another word. I debated on whether or not I should follow him and decided to go upstairs, not yet leaving the house.*

Jolly: Woah man. What's with all the blood?

Folio: I think you should get back in the car...

Jolly: I'm not even going to bother asking why. *He walks away.*

*Noah returns to the house. His eyes dark with anger. I threw my hands up in defense.*

Folio: I saved her. I helped her. We're on the same team.

Noah: *His wide strides brought him to me in seconds. He shoved me against the wall, my head hitting the drywall and leaving a dent.*

Folio: Noah please! I was helping her!

Noah: Oh yeah? *He grabbed me by the collar of my shirt, slamming me against the wall yet again.* Helping what? Getting into her fucking panties?!

*Nick enters the room to see a distraught Folio and a furious Noah. He rushed over to us both and stood between the two men.*

Nick: Woah! Guys! C'mon. We gotta get her to a hospital.

Jolly: *Yells from outside.* He's not wrong! It looks kinda...

*He stopped himself so he didn't worry Violet.*

*Noah reluctantly left the house to tend to Violet. He made his way back into the car and sat in the driver's seat beside Violet. The rest of the gang piled in the backseat like sardines.*

Noah: *Still upset but equally worried.* How are you feeling? What did he do to you?

*Violet shook her head, tears forming in the corner of her eyes.*

Violet: Please don't make me talk about it right now.

*The remainder of the drive was silent. They arrived at the nearest hospital. Noah turned around to the guys, avoiding Folio.*

Noah: Take my car and go home. We're going to be here for a while.

Jolly: *He hops out of the backseat and helps him take Violet to the ER. Once he was done, he returned back to the car with Folio and Nick still inside.* Let's just go back to the hotel.

Folio: *I look at Jolly and Nick in the front seat.* So... what are the odds of us stopping to get food?

Nick: Shut the fuck up, Folio. You're the last one that needs to be talking right now.

*Jolly looked at me in the rear view mirror.*

Jolly: We can get food but you're only getting a can of beans.

Folio: *I sigh in defeat and slumped back in my seat.* Not even peaches? This day sucks.

*Nick glared back at me.*

Nick: You definitely don't fucking deserve peaches. You damn homewrecker.

*After grabbing a quick pizza the guys made it back to the hotel and called Noah to check on Violet*

Jolly: *The phone rings twice before a tired Noah answered.* Hey man, how is she?

Noah: He fucking broke her leg in three places.

Jolly: Oh God. Is she going to be okay?

Noah: Yeah she's sleeping now. They gave her a cast and some narcotics. She's a trooper for sure.

Jolly: Alright man well is there anything I can go bring you guys before I crash out?

Noah: You're fine man. I appreciate the help. I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Jolly: Sounds good. We'll see you tomorrow.

*As Jolly hangs up, all of the guys start falling asleep, worried about Violet and if she was gonna be okay.*
