Romeo & Julie ☆ Lariana

[11]

"What's so bad about that? I thought you wanted to feel love again? With the rainbows and shit."

"What if he hurts me again? What if this is just one of the things I shouldn't be doing?"

"You know that coat with the ruffles that I love but stopped wearing it because I realise I looked like a Spanish barbie doll? Well I got a new coat it's a jacket actually it looks way different to my old cost this jacket's leather and doesn't have the ruffles."

"Look Jess as interesting your coat stories are I'm taking about my love life here."

"My point is that we use to love things or someone before but then you realise it just wasn't for you and it sucks, so you find a new one but that doesn't mean it's gonna be the same. Things change as we get older. Don't get hang up because you made one stupid mistake." She continues.

"If you think Luke's the guy you love or should I say your Romeo, then go for it. Take a chance you've done it before what have you got to lose?" She sends me an assuring smile.

"What if I'm not worth it?"

"Trust me, you are more than worth it."

"Your right, I've already been hurt before. What have I got to lose? Not all guys are the same. Thanks Jess." I hug her and get into the car.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm paying you back, come on. Get in the car."

"Hemmings! What's gotten into you? Look I know your bad at sports but you can't be this bad." I rub the place where the ball hit me as the coach shouts at me.

"Sorry coach his just caught up with the whole Romeo and Juliet play." Ashton excuses me.

"Oh yes, Mr.Fitzgerald is once fine lad." The coach smirks. "Um coach, are you gay?" Michael peeps out at the back.

"What? No such thing. Back to practice, Hemmings you can skip thing gym." The coach once again blows his whistle.

I mouthed Ashton a quick 'thank you' leave the gym. I thought to myself that it was a good time to call Ariana, so I do.

"Hey, um are you okay? You kinda stormed out earlier." I say to the phone.

"Oh yeah, sorry about that." I hear a couple of whispers before she goes on.

"Do you want to come over to my house as soon as school is over?" She offers. "Yeah totally." I say sounding too eager.

"Don't get to excited Hemmings, it's not like we're fucking." She laughs and ends the call.

I knock on the door until a tall man appears. It's must be her dad. "Who are you?" My palms begin sweating but when I got up the courage to answer.

"Your-" Ariana come out from behind me and pulls me in. "Your early."

"And your late." I rolled my eyes. "Ariana, can I talk to you?" Her dad calls out from downstairs.

"Nope." She calls out back.

"Sorry about my dad his just drunk. So do you wanna go out for dinner because you know-" I cut her off.

"I'd love to."

"Okay then, so what about after the play?"
