Love Letters (Rusame) COMPLETE

Chapter 25: Viktor's Punishment

America

It was night time now. The doctors told us that visiting hours were over so we had to leave. I didn't want to leave him.

I kept thinking about what happened. Viktor pushed Khristina who stumbled into Toby causing him to fall.

I felt anger rise in me. Viktor was the reason why Toby was in the hospital. The reason why he's mute.

"I'm going to beat his ass." Russia turned to me after I mumbled that.

"Who's ass are you going to beat?"

"Viktor, it's his fault that this happened." I crossed my arms and looked at him.

"There's no need for that. He's probably already sorry." Russia wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"I don't care!" I grab his arm and throw it off me. "He needs to learn his lesson."

Russia sighed and looked back at the road. "I know but maybe we can do it in a way that he won't get hurt?

I groan and turn to the window. "Fine, whatever."

We drove in silence the rest of the way to Janet's house. Russia got out of the car and walked to the door.

A few moments later, I saw Viktor and Khristina run out to the car. Viktor threw open the door and then frowned.

"Where's Toby?" He looked at me while still frowning.

"He's in the hospital." I answered with a blank expression.

"No. No. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. Mom, I'm really sorry." I stared at him for a while but then turned away.

"Just get in the car."

Viktor looked down but got in anyways. Khristina sat on the driver's side. Russia made his way back to the car and got in the driver's seat.

The car ride home was silent.

Viktor didn't say a word but I heard his quiet sobs. I looked back and saw Khristina trying to comfort him. I glared at her, causing her to stop and sit back in her seat.

We arrived home and I stumbled out of the car. Viktor ran past me to the door of the house. Russia put the key in and unlocked the door.

"Viktor, Khristina, we need to talk to you." Russia stated as he sat down on the couch. I reluctantly joined him on the couch.

Viktor and Khristina sat on the coffee table. Russia looked directly at Viktor.

"You're in big trouble mister, but we'll discuss that later." Viktor looked down while starting to cry.

I leaned into Russia, closing my eyes. I just wanted to sleep. Today was an exhausting day. Rus wrapped his arm around me and continued speaking.

"The doctors have told us that Toby will never be able to speak again." Khristina went silent but Viktor couldn't stop crying. "If I were you, I'd make sure I understood sign language."

"Yes Papa." Khristina mumbled.

"Good, now go to bed." Khristina walked away with Viktor behind her. Russia wrapped me in a tight embrace and whispered to me. "Do you want to go to bed?"

I gave a small nod and Russia picked me up. He carried me until we got to bed. I clung to him and drifted off to sleep.

~~~~(Timeskip)~~~~

I woke up with Russia gone. I slid out of bed and made my way to the stairs, where I heard Russia yelling.

I peaked my head around the corner and saw Russia yelling at Viktor. I listened in out of curiosity.

"I don't want to hear that you're sorry! Being sorry can't fix what happened!" I saw Viktor's mouth move but didn't hear anything, he must be mumbling then.

"You know what! You're grounded! No going out with friends! No playing video games! No watching tv! Got it?" Viktor only nodded. "Good, now go to your room!"

Viktor speed walked away and ran past me. I walked down the stairs and up to Russia. He wasn't looking at me so I took the opportunity to scare him.

I hugged him from behind, making him gasp in shock. "Meri! Don't do that! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"

I giggled a bit but then frowned. "Are we going to see Toby today?"

"Only if you want to." He pet my head.

"Of course I want to!" I let him go and run off to get dressed.

I look around in my closet for something to wear. I decide on my black ripped jeans and a white t-shirt. I grabbed my signature sunglasses and placed them on my face.

Russia came into the room after I finished getting dressed. "Should we bring Khristina and Viktor with us?"

"I'm mad at Viktor but sure." Russia responded as he put on a different shirt.

"Ok, I'll tell them to get ready." I left to go tell them to get ready. I knocked on Viktor's door and waited for a response. "Viktor? Are you there?"

I heard shuffling on the other side and then Viktor opened the door. "I'm here, sorry."

"It's fine, get ready to leave, ok?" He nodded so I left to go to Khristina's room. "Khristina?"

I open her door and see her sleeping. I walk up to her and shake her. "Khrisy. C'mon get up."

She opens her eyes a little. "Five more minutes…"

"We're going to visit Toby." Khristina sits up while smiling.

"Really?!" She jumped up and ran to her closet. I chuckled and left the room. Viktor ran into me in the hallway.

"Oh sorry Mom." I look at what he's wearing. He's wearing a long sleeve shirt with a pair of cargo pants.

"Why are you wearing that when it's hot outside?" Viktor shrugged, I sighed and decided to ignore it. "Rus, are you ready to go?"

Russia came out of the bedroom and nodded. Together we walked out to the car and drove to the hospital.
