Juliet PoV
20 years.
20 years since I've seen the damned guy.
20 years since I've left the pain in New York.
I chuckled nervously,as I stashed more of my bloody (a/n: expression,its not really bloody.Thats what I got from bloody Ron Granger,dont blame me✌️) wardrobe in the little suitcase.
Its been years since I've last went back to New York.
Yet,the pain still remained.
WHY?WHY?WHY?
The dread of coming back to NY filled me,as I stashed more clothes to the now filled bag,not minding the mess I'm making.
Just when I was settling with my thoughts,my phone rang.
And the ringtone happened to be my favorite song, Love Story,by Taylor Swift.
We were both young when I first saw you...
"Who could this be?"
I close my eyes and a flashback starts,I'm standing there...
"Ok.ok.Hold the heck on!"
On a balcony in summer air.
I picked up my iPhone,to stop the ringing,because its just making me remember the past.
Sigh...
Romeo Stanford.

To hell with you
I didn't notice the person now talking,as I swam through my thoughts.(A/N:Juliet- BOLD Hearte-italics
"BESH!You still 'er?"
I blinked back into reality,once I heard my best friend,Hearte Evangeline Dawnlock screaming.
"Juliet Jerese Newman!Wake up!"
Great.I forgot to tell you.I had a second name,no one knew except my family and a few close friends.
Including that guy.
Oh,back to the witch herself.
"Dude,I'm like,New York,always awake!"-J
"Duh.YOU were from there."-H
"Ahh.Dont mention it."-J
"Now who is a proper citizen who doesn't even acknowledge their citizenship?"-H
"I'm a fuggin citizen of Chicago!I told you to not push me Hearte!"-J
"Sorry,I'm not there to push you.Some other time?"-H
"Hearte!I'm being serious!"-J
"Bwiset ka!Kung tatawag lang ako para pagalitan mo ako,edi,hindi nalang ako tatawag sayo!Mukhang nagpipi-ms ka eh!-H
Oh,my bestfriend here is a FilAm.She uses the Filipino language alot,and,its basically the only thing I dont understand from her vocabulary.
"Whatever you're saying Hearte!I still need to get to Harvard before my flight to get advanced assignments!"-J
Yes.Assignments on a vacation.
Truth was,I was pressured by my parents on being a consistent honor on Harvard,where I took BS Chemical Engineering.They wanted nothing but for me to excel.Medals?I have hundreds.When I was in elementary,there was never a year that I wasn't a valedictorian.I got 10 scholarships.When I got to highschool,same things happened.I became the valedictorian and passed all the collegiate entrance tests.But as I said,decisions weren't mine to make.
As usual,my parents were the one who chose where I would study,what to take,etc.
I ended up with Harvard,my mothers choice,and Chemical Engineering,my father's choice.
I was okay with Harvard.But Chemical Engineering?not so.I wanted to be an architect.
BUT
NO.
i was used to it anyway.Parents dogging my every step,making sure their names were never dirtied.They made sure I was the best,sports,academics,etc.They expected so much from me.
They made me look like a robot.
Everly perfect.
They put chains on my prison called life.They made me stay there,made sure I didn't dog my way out.
And the assignments weren't even my decision.I mean,who on their right mind would ask for assignments on vacation?!
But sometimes,I think they do have a point on their "coo-coo" ,as what Hearte called it.
Because they did have names.
Sophia Ellize Stanwell-Newman
Miss Universe 2005
(A/N:Just a product of my imagination.Purely fiction)
Luis Carter Newman
Certified tycoon, probably the "Most Powerful Business Tycoon of the World"
Yup.I was born lucky.
"Besh.I'm hangin' up.Gotta do some burrito kicking.BYE!"-H
My bestfriend's voice cut through the reverie of my thoughts.
Suddenly,I had a strawberry cheescake muffin and a strawberry frappe from Starbucks at my bedside table.
How did it happen?
I didn't notice the sign,which read:
From:Joseph
Dude.U should lessen ur "grl talks" to Hearte.
Seriously!U didnt notice me when I came in!
Mom is telling you to hurry up.And fix dat
Suitcase of yours!
CIAO.
Hahaha.
I rudely forgot about my annoying brother,Joseph Nevi Newman
Older brother.Add annoying.
