Romeo & Juliett: A Forbidden Love Story

Romeo & Juliett: A Forbidden Love Story: Ch. 25

Juliett's POV:

The next day, I stayed as far away from Romeo as possible. I came down for breakfast, when I was sure he wasn't there and I stayed in my room for the longest amount of time, it's a good thing there's a bathroom in there. In the evening, I saw Mrs. Rogers coming out of Randy's room and raced in there when she was gone. I really needed to have a talk with him and I just needed to see him again.

"Hey Randy." I said.

As soon as I came into the room, I sat down on Randy's lap and wrapped my arms around his neck. I started running my hands through Randy's hair, but he just turned his head away.

"What?"

"You shouldn't be here." Randy softly replied, gently pushing me off of him.

"Wait, what are you saying?" I asked, puzzled.

I was confused, why was Randy acting this way with me.

"You need to be with Romeo, besides that's who you're gonna be with forever anyway."

"Wait, I thought you already knew about that."

"You think anyone tells me anything in this house?!" he snapped.

This was really unfair, Randy shouldn't be treated like this! If only I knew his secret, then I'd be able to help him, but no one tells me much either.

"But, then how do you know about it now?" I continued.

"Romeo - he came into my room and practically threatened me to stay away from you or else." Randy said.

"You shouldn't be afraid of a stupid, little threat like that." I re-wrapped my arms around Randy and pressed my forehead to his.

"I love you, Randy. And I wanna be with you forever, not Romeo! Please." I begged him.

"No! I-I can't."

"You can't stop me from loving you!" I squeezed Randy tightly in a hug.

"Yes, I can!" he insisted.

With a forceful shove, Randy pushed me away and I landed on my back. Clink something went on the ground next to me.

"I'm not right for you! I'm a freak! You should be afraid of me. I can hurt you. And I know I'm gonna regret it."

A sob escaped from my throat and I felt fresh tears roll down my face. Slowly I propped myself up with my elbows and stared at Randy, he was panting heavily. I reached my hand up, but then dropped it again. I gave up then, it was no use. The person I wanted to be with, doesn't and can't be with me and the person that loves me, isn't loved by me.

I looked to my side to see what had caused that noise and saw a small circular object in Randy's hand. I put my hand to my neck and realized that it was my necklace. I looked up at Randy and saw his eyes locked on the picture in the locket.

"I-I know her." he whispered.

"What?!"

I crawled back over to Randy and made sure that he was talking about the picture that was actually in the locket and not someone else. He was. There was the picture of my best friend ever, Nate.
