"Father, No, please don't shoot" I plead with him, but I can tell his mind is already made up.
"Me and Mercutio should just leave" Romeo reasons, and I tighten my grasp on his wrists.
"No, Romeo and Mercutio should stay" I decide"father, if you want to ruin your reputation, then that is fine with me" I menace "but in No circumstances will I allow you to shoot Romeo"
"Screw reputations!" Bellows Tybalt "and screw love at first sight!" As he says this he pulls the trigger of his miniature lady-like pistol, aiming first Romeo.
Right come on Juliet, think fast. I shove Romeo onto the floor with all my strength and he wines as the rocks surrounding the Koi Pong crash into his ribs, and before it is too late, the bullet plummets into my left shoulder and I fall to the ground. I let out a scream as it's all I can muster up the strength to do. The rest of what happened is all a bit hazy. I remember another gunshot, cries and yelling, then it all went blank.

I wake up in the arms of my lover. My Romeo.
