Till Death

Julia's pov

No
No no no no.
It can't be happening. Not like this.
"Father please i-"
"Silence." He roared at me. " I can't believe my own daughter would do this to me."

"I did nothing wrong." I murmured.
"Nothing wrong?! You fell in love with the enemy Julia." He screamed again. "You will marry Tybalt next month."

"What?! No you can't. I... I'm still married."
"Don't worry about that, he'll be dead by then." My father smirked.

"Until then you'll be locked in your room." My mama added.
"No please." I tried to contain myself, not letting my tears fall.
"It's already decided." My father said, as he and mama left my room locking it on their way.

I ran towards the door, banging on it, screaming my heart out. But no one, not a single soul listened to my cries.

After a while I decided to go and take a shower. I stood in front of the mirror and looked at the tattoo on my chest where my heart is.

"Till death" this was the matching tattoo Romeo and I got together on each other's heart right before tonight's dinner.

It wasn't just a tattoo. It was a promise that nothing will separate us from each other not our parents, not our differences, not even death itself. Nothing!

Romeo's pov

It's been three fucking weeks since my wife has been taken away from me.

And from what I've heard she's going to get married tomorrow. Again!! Of course I know it's not her choice but still I can't help but feeling betrayed.

How can they marry her again when she's still married. To me! But the worst part is that her future husband, who will never be, is none other than Tybalt.

After days, weeks, almost a month without her by my side. Tomorrow we'll strike, tomorrow the real war begins, tomorrow I'll get her back. I'll get my wife back.

Julia's pov

When I was a little girl I always dreamed about true love and finding the one who will take me from my misery, but as I grew older I realized that it was just a silly dream and it will never happen. Not to me at least.

But when it did happen, when I found my one true love, my family took it away from me. They took the only chance of happiness that I had.

Today is the proof of it. By marrying me to Tybalt they're taking the last bit of life and freedom from me.

I cannot marry him. I just can't. I would rather die than be with him. I would choose death over living a life without Romeo.

Without him by my side, without his scent, his voice, his eyes. I just can't.

Someone knocked at the door. I didn't respond hoping whoever it was to just go away. But they didn't, they kept knocking on the door.

I sighed as I stood and opened the door, today was the first time they unlocked it. As I opened it i did not expect to see him.
Father Laurence. The same father that married me to Romeo.

"Father what are you doing here?" I questioned.
"I felt that you needed me so I came." He responded.

I looked at him for a second before gesturing for him to come in.

"I know you're not happy about this marriage." He started.
"Is it this obvious?!" I laughed.
"Kind of." He smiled a sweet gentle smile.

"What can I do for you sweet Julia?" He asked.
I thought about it for a second.
What if.... Yeah surely it'll work!

"I want to die!" I smiled at my response.
"I'm sorry what did you say?!" Shock filling his eyes.
"I said that I want to die and you're going to help me."
