My Version of Romeo and Juliet

Chapter One: Introduction

Katie's POV

I woke up to the sound of rain. I slowly got out of bed and walked over to my window. Outside it was grey and misty out, completely abandoned. "Good morning Katie." I didn't need to turn around to know that it was my stepmother, Esmeralda. I hate her and she knows it. Ever since she and my father got married  she has been trying to replace my late best friend and mother. Also when I say "late" I don't mean dead. I mean she is on her way. She is just lost. She was always late to everything back then. My mother got lost eight years ago. I know she's coming back though. I remember the night she dissapeared perfectly. *Flashback* I had just gone to bed when they started. The night howlers. This was the night they were louder than ever before. The night my mother never existed. My mother had always said the night I was born is when they started howling. My dad always said she was crazy. I know she isn't. The morning she went missing (and six years afterward) people searched for her. Then two years ago...they just stopped. I never did. I never will.

Jayden's POV

As she woke up, I was sitting on the roof listening to her thoughts. Every morning she did this. She would wake up, go to her window looking for her mother and would replay the night she dissapeared. She has done this for eight years. Esmeralda would always tell her good morning and that breakfast was ready. She never responded and she never cared. She hasn't talked since that night. It's like her mother took her voice with her when she left. If only she would come see her one last time.
