Quitters never win

Chapter 4

     When i got to the cemetery the next day Tyler wasn't there yet so i took a seat on one of the benches to wait. I had borrowed my dads camera and we just needed to talk about a new idea. If there even was a new idea. Ms. Vale seemed pretty adamant about us keeping the kiss.

        I heard something that sounded like a branch cracking i thought it was Tyler. I looked around but didn't see anybody. So i relaxed as soon as i did i felt two hands clamp down on my shoulders. I jumped up and screamed. I turned around to see Tyler laughing. 

       "Told you, you were scared." "I'm not scared you big jerk but i didn't know you were behind me." I huffed. "Whatever let's get to work." He said sitting next to me. He had a glass jar in his hand. "What's that?" I asked holding my hand out. He handed it to me. "It's the jar i painted to look like poison." "That's great i figured you would just find some old jar." I said shocked.

        "What you didn't think i would paint it?" He asked. "No I'm surprised and shocked." He rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Ok so lets start where you're laying here 'dead' and i walk in to see you dead. He dug into his back back and pulled out a plastic knife. I started to laugh. "What you told me to find something for you to kill yourself with." He said.

        "Where did you get that?" I asked laughing. "The store...?" He asked confused. "Oh i thought you had that in your room or something." I said. "No I'm not seven." He said slipping the knife into his belt. He took a few steps backwards and i laid down to pretend to be dead. 

       He walked over to me. "Oh no Juliet your dead, That guy that told me, i thought he was lying. I had to see it for myself and now that i know you're dead I'm going to kill myself too. I will never be..." But before he could finish his lines he started laughing. "What is so funny?" I asked sitting up and brushing my Carmel brown hair out of my face. 

       "This is so stupid." I took a deep breath. "Whether you think it's stupid or not we still have to do it. So can you at least pretend to take it seriously?" I asked. "Fine I'll try." I laid back down and shut my blue eyes waiting for him to start. When he didn't i opened one eye. "What?" He asked. 

       I sighed. "What now?" I asked him opening the other eye. "I'm just getting my self ready." He said. "Ok...well i wished you'd hurry." "Hey I'm trying to decide if i need to offer you a breath mint or something." He said. "Oh please i brushed my teeth before i left and don't act like that, it's not as if i want to kiss you either." I said. 

       "So does this make me the nerd or the cheerleader?" He asked making a cheerleader pose. I know he was stalling and I couldn't help but laugh. Then i took a serious face again. "The nerd." I said shaking my head. "Oh so you're out of my league? Yea right your the one who does all the studying." He said. "So i think that makes you the nerd and i don't like the fact that you think you're out of my league." He said. "That's not what i meant." I frowned. "Isn't it?" He asked. "No it's not. Look nobody's out of nobody's league look can you just try it again from the top and try not to laugh this time?" 

       "Fine." He took a few steps back and walked towards me. "Oh no Juliet you're dead, that guy that told me. i thought he was lying. I had to see it for myself and now that i know you're dead I'm going kill myself too. I will never be able to go through life with out you." He pulled the vile out of his pocket and took the top off and pretended to drink it. Then he fell over. I sat up looking around. "Oh no Romeo!" I cried out. I got off the bench and laid down next to him. I placed my ear over his heart and pretended to see if he was dead or not. I gasped. I saw the vile next to him and eagerly picked up. I tilted it up and tried to drink the rest. I threw it aside in anger for him not having left me any poison left. 

       I leaned down about to take the kiss to try and get the poison from his lips and then leaned up. "Nothing left to take." I reached into his side and took out his knife and stabbed it into my side and fell over on top of him.
