chapter four

FRANCOIS DE BOIE WAS SAT ON HIS BED WHEN HIS DAD HAD COME IN. To be honest, he was scared to tell his dad about May and how he would react.

Francois had zoned out and what brought him back was his father's thick French accent — that may or may not be fake. "Hi dad", Francois said.

"Your wedding is going to be the best wedding ever", Lance voiced and Francois grimaced. However, his dad didn't notice. "It's sad how your brothers can't come", Lance added and Francois nodded.

"Such a shame", Francois noted sarcastically. As much as he wanted to see his brothers, he didn't want to marry Juliet, he wanted to be with May. "Shouldn't you be with Juliet's nurse?", Francois questioned.

There was a look of realisation. "Oh, of course, Angelique, I'm coming for you, baby", Lance spoke in a frisky tone, exiting the room and started to search for Angelique.

Francois frowned, he didn't want to upset Juliet. To his own surprise, the small Capulet woman had walked into his room and Francois started to get flustered.

"Um, um", Francois started stuttering. "I'm not supposed to see the bride before the wedding", he said covering his eyes and turning around.

Juliet walked a few steps forward, "The wedding isn't happening", the woman voiced. It was like a song to Francois' ears.

"Huh?", he questioned.

"The wedding isn't happening. I mean, I kissed April and I think I love her Frankie", Juliet shared, sitting next to Francois.

Francois let out a big breath and stood up, "Oh, thank god!", he exclaimed.

"What?", Juliet asked in a confused manner.

"Oh, um, it's not you, it's me, I may have kissed May and may have developed feelings", Francois explained and Juliet smiled, feeling happy for the two.

Juliet engulfed Francois into a hug, "I'm so happy that you found your confidence", she voiced.

Like it was fate, May had walked into the bedroom as well but they turned around and started to walk away before Juliet stopped them.

"May...", Juliet breathed out, "I'm happy for you".

May smiled and hugged their best friend.

"I have so much to tell you", Juliet told May and they just jumped up and down in excitement.

A Day Later...

Romeo and Shakespeare were under the covers in a bed. Shakespeare was still asleep and the Montague man admired his lover and smiled, wiping a piece of hair off his face.

The lovers were happy. It wasn't going to be a tragedy. There was going to be a happy ending for once. Or so they thought.
