Romeo & Juliett: A Forbidden Love Story

Romeo & Juliett: A Forbidden Love Story: Ch. 28

Juliett's POV:

Corey had never treated me like this, he's never hit me before and now that he has, I'm starting to believe Nate. Oh, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do at all!

Flashback:

"Mmm, I love you, babe." Corey slurred.

Corey wrapped his arms around the upper half of my body and rested his head against my shoulder. He was totally acting as if nothing had happened! Did anything even happen? If so, didn't anyone else notice? I put my hand to my cheek, it was warm. I looked at Corey again, he just stood there stroking my hair. After a while, I decided to just forget about it.

"Corey, let's go take a walk outside." I said, taking his hand.

I guided Corey and his drunk self out the exit, as soon as I felt the cool air hit me, I started to feel better. We slowly walked around for a while, then Corey stopped and turned to face me.

"You know what you're little friend said to me today?" he stared.

"What?" I asked, suddenly interested.

"That little bitch threatened me that if I have to stay away from you or else. What'd you tell her?!"

"Nothing! I just-"

"Don't you lie to me!"

Corey struck me across the face again, except this time it was on the other side of my face, I felt hot tears sprung out of my eyes.

"Corey, please stop, you're hurting me!" I pleaded.

"Well, you're hurting my heart!" Corey cried.

Corey pinned me up against the alley wall and the next thing I know he's pointing a gun to my head.

'He wasn't really going to kill me, was he? Corey isn't like that! Corey's not a bad guy![' I thought to myself. 'He can't be! Please, God, don't let him be like that!.'

"If I can't have you, then no one can!"

I looked around frantically for help, but we were in a dark alley and I didn't even have my phone on me.

"Corey, please, I'm begging you!" I sobbed.

"It's too late for begging now! There's no one here to save you, not even your bitchy little friend!" Corey cursed.

It hurt a lot what Corey said, even if it wasn't me he was talking about.

"Any last wishes, babe?"

I closed my eyes and waited for it to come.

'This is it, I guess,' I thought. 'My last night on Earth and I don't even get to say goodbye to Nate, or even apologize.'

"Corey!" I heard someone shout.

Wow, that voice sounded so totally familiar to me. It sounded almost like...Nate's. I snapped my eyes open to see if it were really her, and yes, there she was all in flesh and blood! I was glad she was here, but I was also a little afraid Corey'll hurt her or something.

"Ah look, the bitch arrives." Corey commented.

"Nate!" I exclaimed.

I kicked Corey in the stomach and ran over to her.

"Nate, I'm so, so sorry that I didn't listen to you! You were right, Corey, he really is-!"

"If either one of you move, you'll both die in under a minute!" Corey threatened.

I was really scared now, I didn't know what to do or say to prevent Corey from doing anything stupid.

"Corey, I..." my voice trailed off.

I stood in front of Nate, blocking Corey from her.

"Don't worry, Juliett, I've called the police, before I got here." Nate whispered to me.

"You did?" I whispered back.

Before she could answer, I could hear the police sirens approaching us and I sighed, relief spreading over me.

"What are you gonna do now, Corey?"

I stepped forward as I heard the sirens growing louder and louder, I felt confident again.

"This."

My eyes widened as Corey aimed the gun at my head, I knew I should've moved, but I seemed to be frozen. I don't really know what happened after that, because my eyes closed when I felt something wet on my face.

A Few Hours Later:

I woke up to find myself in a hospital room. As soon as my eyes opened up, I jumped up quickly, but the nurse made me lie back down again.

"What happened?!" I asked her.

"Dear, you must rest, you're hurt." she said.

"But, I need to know!"

"You were hit on the head, we're not so sure what happened though."

I stared at her for a minute, trying to recollect everything that happened. A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts, looking up I saw a police officer.

"Excuse me, we have some questions for this young lady concerning what happened tonight with her and her friend." he said.

That's when I realized something!

"Nate! Where is she?! How is she?!" I cried.

I wanted to jump off the bed, but the nurse held me back.

"She's in the room next to you." she replied.

I looked to my left and saw a curtain, getting off the bed, I went into the next room and almost died at what I saw. On another bed, Nate lay there, silent, eyes closed, no signs of breathing. As I saw her just laying there, I felt everything inside of me crumbling and my heart dieing.

I rushed over to her and tried to shake her awake, but in my heart, I knew she was gone. Forever.

"Nate, please, wake up, please! I'm sorry I didn't believe what you said about Corey and I promise I'll listen to everything you tell me from now on, if you just wake up!" I sobbed. "Please. Don't leave me all alone!"

Flashback End:

I fell asleep again on Nate's bed and when I woke up again, I was back on my own bed. The police officer and I talked for a little while, and I told him all that I knew. Corey couldn't go to jail though, because he was physically and mentally ill, so he was sent to a mental hospital. Apparently this wasn't the first time that Corey did this. He's done this with a lot of other girls. He becomes obsessed with his girlfriends, then if they try to leave to him, he kills them, and anyone else who gets in his way.

And Nate went to her grave. Everyday, instead of blaming Corey, I blamed myself. I was the reason why Nate died. I was so stupid and that cost me my best friend ever. The only person who really cared about me in this world.

But, what I really don't get is: how does Randy even know her?
