Never Leave My Side

Chapter 5 Tears

(Andy's POV)
You wipe away Juliet's tears softly with your hands and caress her face. You both look into each other's eyes,

"Juliet, don't listen to what they have to say about you. You're my everything, the negative things they say don't mean anything. You deserve better."You explain to her with a sincere voice.

She wipes her eyes, smearing her mascara and eyeliner across her cheek.

"I'm such a mess," Juliet sighs as she stands up to look at herself in the mirror. You watch her walk across the room, she dips her head down and tears fall from her cheeks and land on her shirt. You get up quickly and hold her close.

"They told me-" she stutters. "They told me to go kill myself, telling me that YOU can do better!" She starts raising her voice and getting infuriated.

"Babe, what? I can do better? What does that mean?" You ask, shaking your head.

"Saying you could get a better woman.." She starts crying even harder.

"That's not true! I don't want to be with ANYONE else on this planet. You're mine, I'm yours. You're so perfect to me. Don't fucking listen to them, most of them are jealous twelve year olds, honestly!" You explain with a little giggle.

She's still looking down with her eyes filled with tears,
"I feel like I'm never enough. I feel like I can be better, look better, sing better," she starts ranting.

"Everyone feels that way, everyone wants to be a better person." You smile, holding her hand. She grabs a tissue off of the bed side table and pats her eyelashes that were soaked with tears. You take the tissue and wipe her tears for her, she looks up you and starts to smile.

"You're even pretty when you cry," you say, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. Juliet wraps her arms around your waist and hugs tightly.

"I fucking love you, babe." She says, muffled on your chest.

"I love you more."
