timothée's pov

"Coming soon to a theater near you..."

I heard the TV from my kitchen as I served myself a bowl of chips and cracked open another beer, my third one today.

I went back to the living room and plopped myself right back onto the couch.

"the story of two star-crossed lovers forbidden from being together..."

It was a movie trailer. Y/n's movie trailer.

-flashback-

"I can't keep doing this!" she yelled at me.

"Doing what?!"

"I can't keep waiting for you to change! I don't even know who you are anymore!"

"What are you saying?"

"We're done." she walked out the door.

-end of flashback-

Y/n was truly my first love. We dated for about two years before she broke up with me.

And I'll admit it, I let the fame get to my head.

I repeated the cycle: be out all night at bars and clubs, then gone the next morning while she was still asleep to head back at work.

At some point I didn't know who I was either.

The only thing I wanted to do was party and drink with my friends instead of spending any of my time with y/n.

I engulfed myself in fame, partying, and drinking. Nothing else matter, not my family, not my girlfriend.

I've found myself again, but turned miserable now that I no longer have y/n by my side.

"Romeo and Juliet starring award winning actress y/n y/l/n, out December 15.."

It hurt. It hurt to see her in the trailer, I haven't seen her in person since the breakup.

It made me angry to see her too, all over her co-star like that. Even though she's an actress, and she has to play her role that way, it made me feel more than just 'jealous.'

December 15

"No, I think I'm just going to stay in today."

"Are you sure?" Armie asked.

"Yes, I'm sure."

"If you change your mind, call me and we can go out for drinks or something."

"Alright," I put on my shoes "I've gotta go."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye." I hung up the phone.

I grabbed my keys and headed out the door, driving to the movie theater near where I live.

Before going inside, I put on my sunglasses and pulled up my hood.

"One for Romeo and Juliet please."

"Here you go." she said handing me the ticket.

I paid and went over to the concessions.

After getting my snacks, I headed into my assigned theater. It was packed with teenage girls, who I'm pretty sure dragged along their boyfriends to come and watch the movie.

Y/n would have done the same with me.

I looked around before finding a corner seat in the very last row available. The lights began to flash, and the movie began.

Is it weird that I'm alone, trying to hide my face from the public, and watching my ex's new movie? Probably.

Even though we're not together, that doesn't mean I still can't be supportive of her career.

When y/n showed up on the screen, my mouth couldn't find the strength to stay closed. She looked absolutely gorgeous.

"My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite." y/n, I mean Juliet, said to Romeo.

Memories of her, and us, flooded my mind.

Although that was just a line in a script, it spoke true to me. Y/n's love was like none I had ever felt before.

She loves deeply and falls hard. You can attempt to reciprocate the same kind of love that she gives to you, but you just can't.

It's impossible and I would be the one to know.

With mind still occupied with the memories, I could barely pay attention to the film now.

The end scene came, catching my attention once again. Romeo is about to die after drinking the poison, Juliet is holding him.

"I shall kiss thy lips." she says before pressing them together.

And that's it. They both just, die, together.

"For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo." the narrator says.

They loved each other, they died for each other.

There was no one else for Juliet, but her Romeo. There was no one else for Romeo, but his Juliet.

There is no one else for me, but y/n.

I got out of my seat, running down the aisle and pushing my way through the crowd trying to leave as well.

I broke through the main entrance doors.

"Fuck."

It's pouring rain. I sprinted to my car, racing my way through the heavy streets of traffic despite the weather status.

"Can I help you?" she looked up as she opened the door up all the way "what are you doi-"

"I love you." I said cutting her off.

"Don't." her voice cracked.

"I love you y/n. I've loved you since the first day I met you and I've continued to love you even after you broke up with me."

"Timothée," she said "I-I don't know what you want me to say."

I'm not surprised. I didn't even think I'd be doing this & saying these things right now.

"You don't have to say a thing."

I walked forward, grabbing the sides of her face in my hands as I put my cold lips to hers.

Her fingers raked through my soaked hair. My hands found her waist, making her dry clothes wet with the dripping water of the sleeves of my hoodie.

She pulled away, pressing her forehead to mine. Our eyes met, meeting deeply with each other.

"I love you too." she said, some tears escaping the very corners of her eyes.

"You're my Juliet." I smiled.

"And you're my Romeo."

*the first quote I used was from the original play by Shakespeare, the second from the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio & Claire Danes.* Not that y'all care, but I just wanted to let you know.

The ending of this is pretty corny & I don't really like it, I might change it later :)
