romeo & juliet || jj maybank

prologue + before you read;

prologue;

happy endings come from bad beginnings

juliet pierce was the epitome of thrill. her summer's at home on kildare island were meant to be an escape from her school life in san fransisco. though, she was unaware that she was in for a summer of unexpected discoveries, and most definitely unexpected love.

everything went to shit when she first laid eyes on the beautiful blonde sitting in the back of the hms pogue, a beer in hand.
one could've even called it love at first sight.
the boy fell flat on his face for her, too. literally and figuratively speaking, of course.

the girl had a way of dealing with her emotions, usually ending with a key tossed away and a lock around her heart. but even then, she couldn't help but feel drawn to jj.
maybe it was the way he carried himself, with an easy confidence and a hint of danger. maybe it was the way he laughed and joked with his friends, his eyes crinkling with amusement. or maybe it was just the fact that he was different from anyone she'd ever met before.

whatever it was, juliet felt an instant connection with the blonde boy the moment she laid eyes on him. he was funny, charming, and adventurous, and he seemed to understand her in a way that no one else ever had.

jj maybank was more than just the boy she met one fine afternoon. as she soon experienced, he was the only one for her. he understood her. he listened to her. he loved her. and so did she, with everything she had.
and by everything, i mean everything.

by definition of romeo and juliet, the way their story began could have been under better circumstances, maybe they would've had a better chance at love.

but one could only wish to feel the way the two 'star-crossed' lovers did together.

in which juliet pierce, a sixteen year old kook, spends her summers back at home on kildare island and falls in love with the island along with its one and only lover boy.

this is a modern twist of romeo and juliet! hence the name, juliet. i've always wanted to write something related to this shakespearean play since i've been in love with their love story. i am aware of the ending to the original, but i hope you guys do enjoy my recreation, and i'll try not to have the two lovers end up dead!

me;

hello, my loves!

to start off, i just wanna say that it's been a while since i've written and i'm still planning the book out as i write it. it may not be as well-written as any other fic you've read so far, but i can assure you, it'll be one of a kind! i do hope you stay for the full ride.

secondly, i want to apologize for how unorganized this is going to be. i plan on updating a part every week, but it may take me an extra day or two here and there.

you'll see the worst and best of me as i write this, my highs and lows as i struggle my way through college. tbh, this is the only thing i have going for me currently, and i'll probably cry myself to sleep if i get any hate. jk, i'm not that sensitive. or maybe i am, idk. (aka. identity crisis)

i know i'm sorta writing to a ghost audience (i don't think anyone's actually going to read this), but i'm still determined to put my all into this, so hopefully, quality shouldn't really be a concern. of course, before editing though, drafts that i publish are going to be absolutely horrid. (jk pls read them)

lastly, i'll try to add an author's note after every chapter. the only problem with this is that i'm going to end up turning it into a rant space for myself; i hope you guys do enjoy reading little snippets of my life!
