Juliet's Flawed Wings

3:Silence says it all

The tragedy of life is not death but what we let die inside of us while we live

~Juliet's POV~

18 June 2016

Day#2

yes, i'm counting the number of days till my death which is probably gonna occur in November as the doctor predicted that i've got 5 months to live.

"did nothing remarkable today. just another day of soggy sandwiches by mom which i'll probably throw away and go back home from this place called school"

i closed my diary and placed it back in my backpack.

everyone around here in the cafeteria was having lunch well except the popular girls who wanna starve themselves to death.

what about me?

well i rather stay hungry than eat those soggy sandwiches

i ran a hand through my long hazel hair

plop

i opened my eyes.

seriously?

"hey Romeo how you doin'?", Harvey smiled.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD HIM MY NAME.

"it's Juliet.", i rolled my eyes.

"and Romeo is your new nickname from me", he winked.

i again rolled my eyes.

"what are you doing here?", i asked, annoyed by his unwanted presence near me.

"drinking mango juice, want some?", he offered.

"no thanks i prefer grapes anyways. i mean why are you sitting on my table?", i crossed my arms.

"i don't see your name written on it", he shook his head.

i rose an eyebrow.

"okayy. i'm new here and i find you interesting so can  i be your friend Rome-Juliet Waters?", he bit his lip.

"my..f-friend?", i asked, shocked.

"yeah you know a person with whom one has a bond of mutual affection", he shrugged.

"i know what friend means idiot. but why do you want to befriend me?", i asked.

"why not?..do you bite people?", he asked slowly.

i smacked his arm and he burst out laughing.

"yeah i want to be your friend, is it so wrong?", he smiled.

"okay we're friends just try not to be annoying", i shrugged.

he chuckled.

" i know you don't accept our friendship but don't worry you will..soon", he nodded.

there was silence between us until..

"day#2..dude you have to be kidding me!", he looked at me as if i was crazy.

i snatched my diary back and looked down.

"yeah is it wrong that i'm counting the days till i die?..", i said in a low voice.

"you should be counting the days till you live. you should be counting the time till you can enjoy every moment of your life", he said.

okay, things are getting deep.

why isn't the damn bell ringing so i can go to class?

"no matter how bad your life is, wake up each day thankful for your life, someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs", he sternly said.

should i point out that he just used a pinterest quote?

but i slowly took in his words..

and then..something really unexpected happened.

he took my wrist and inspected it.

and then he looked at me with disappointment and disgust.

the bell rang. finally.

he dropped my wrist, shook his head and walked away.

he didn't say anything but the silence said it all.

and i knew it, because silence doesn't mean that the person quits, it simply means that one doesn't want to argue with people who just don't want to understand..

and i didn't want to understand more about living..until now that i know how horrible of a person i am who didn't care about anything and especially this gift called life..

for the first time...i felt sorry

for myself..

and i have to improve things before they get out of hands..
