DISCLAIMER : JULIET IS IN HER 20'S

SHAKESPEARE LOCKED EYES WITH HIS WIFE, a look of betrayal all over Anne's face. She was on the verge of tears. Anne looked at Romeo, not realising that it was him.

The Montague man turned around and Anne had just started sobbing. Shakespeare ran over to his wife and hugged her but she immediately pushed him away, "How could you do this to me?", she bawled, falling to her knees.

"Anne, honey, it's not what it looks like", Shakespeare spoke rapidly, looking back at Romeo. The Montague man hung his head low.

"Look...", Romeo began, walking towards Anne, "It wasn't his fault, I initiated it but it's in the stars", the brunette spoke and saw Anne looking heartbroken.

Her husband was never home due to his plays and now he's in love with his character that he wrote. She knew that she could never win. She took one more glance at her husband and gave a heavy sigh and just walked away trying not to cry again.

Romeo just ruined a marriage. He didn't even feel sorry. He was fated to be with Shakespeare, the stars aligned differently after he got resurrected.

"I'm sorry", Romeo breathed out, even if he didn't mean it. He felt like he had to say something.

Shakespeare turned around, "Don't talk to me", the man spoke.

Juliet saw April sitting in the carriage, holding her head in her hands, crying her eyes out. She never wanted her best friend to feel sad, so she approached the Hathaway woman. Juliet hadn't comforted anyone before but with April it felt easy.

Juliet sat next to her and put her arm around her shoulders, "It's okay", Juliet soothed, making sure her voice was gentle and comforting.  "What's wrong my sweet angel?", Juliet asked.

April slowly looked up, tears blurring her vison. "I saw the love of my life kissing Romeo", she said and Juliet was in disbelief, she couldn't believe her ears.

"Romeo? Are you sure?", Juliet questioned, feeling confused. Romeo was in love with her but apparently not.

"I'm pretty sure", April spoke in a small voice. Juliet had got unknowingly close to April and the Hathaway woman didn't understand why. "What are you doing?", she asked the Capulet woman.

Juliet swallowed a lump in her throat, "I don't know", she answered and then gently placed her lips onto Aprils and kissed her, it was just a peck but that is what April needed to continue to kiss Juliet.

Once they broke apart, April was the one to break the silence, "I guess it's even between me and William", and that phrase made Juliet's face fall in disappointment. She didn't know why she was disappointed, she just was.

"Did it mean anything?", Juliet asked in her gentle tone.

"Did what mean anything?", April questioned the Capulet woman, trying to forget about the kiss but failing miserably. "It did", April voiced a few moments later.

April never thought that she would fall for one of her husbands characters but, yet, here we are. The stars realigned for them as well. Juliet and April were destined to be together.

****

Romeo stood on his own, stargazing. It was quiet. A terrible quiet. He needed to see Shakespeare again but the Montague man knew to give him space. Being with Juliet was good but being with Shakespeare felt like he was in paradise.

What Romeo didn't expect was to see Juliet approach him. He was ready for her to yell at him. Instead, she hugged him. He deserved a slap but instead he got a hug.

"What's that for?", Romeo asked, looking confused at the small Capulet.

"Just for finding yourself and being true to who you are", Juliet responded with a smile, "Even though, you did just ruin a marriage".

Romeo shrugged, kicking his feet on the ground, "It was fate", the Montague man replied, that was his response to everything.

"I thought we were fated to be together", Juliet spoke and Romeo looked down, "You weren't the only one to ruin the marriage, I initiated a kiss on April".

Romeo looked confused, "You mean, Anne?", he asked.

"Who?", Juliet replied.

"Never mind", Romeo responded, rubbing his forehead.
