Chapter Seventeen

Zack's P.O.V.

Melissa was standing in the door frame with her arms crossed and a smirk plastered to her face.

"I see the pretty girl's important to you. Love makes you weak you know,"she said in a matter of factly tone. I opened my mouth to speak, but I was cut off.

"Love doesn't make you weak. You make yourself weak when you decide to depend on that person and lose yourself. When you embrace yourself and your love makes you stronger, than that is the only real kind of love," Skye said walking closer to Melissa. Melissa came forward and twirled Skye's hair.

"You remind me of someone. Who is that again. Oh yeah, Juliet. And it looks like Zackary is your Romeo. Oh wouldn't it be nice if you were smart enough to old litterature. You could act out a scene for me," Melissa said.

Skye looked over to me and winked telling me that we were doing it. Good thing that I took a whole class on Shakespeare. I stood and waited for her to start the scene. She picked a part from the first scene. One of the lesser known ones.

SKYE

"Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

ZACK

O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;

They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

SKYE

Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.

ZACK

Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.

Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.

SKYE

Then have my lips the sin that they have took.

ZACK

Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!

Give me my sin again.

SKYE

You kiss by the book.

As we went about our play reenactments, Melissa seemed to get more and more annoyed. Me and Skye laughed. Skye walked up to Melissa and twirled the curls she had.

"Looks like you don't know me very well, because I love classic literature," Skye said.

"Was that scene even in Romeo and Juliet? Do the famous scene at least," Melissa said.

"You want me to kiss Zack. That's why you want us to do it. You want to see if I actually could kiss him, but if I do, it will become your moment. My moment, will be my moment," Skye said to Melissa as she walked out the door grabbing my hand on the way out. Before we were out of Melissa's view, Skye turned around and smiled.

"Don't be so closed off to love forever okay?" Skye said waving her hand as her eyes sparkled. I realized that we were still holding hands and my face heated up. I glanced back at Melissa and her eyes had glossed over and she looked like she was about to cry. She flipped us off and left the room through the front entrance.

We walked outside laughing and she still had my hand. As we turned the corner of the building, Chase was there. He looked drunk, he was bleeding, and he had a black eye. I looked over at Skye who's eyes had widened in shock. She dropped my hand and ran up to him. She checked the wounds and looked around.

"Oh my gosh...um, let's go. I can bandage you up," Skye stumbled out in a panic. She dragged Chase in the building holding his hands and I watched as he flirted with her. I stood still rooted to my place not being able to move.

A/N: Hey guys! I wanted this to be a little dramatic and what better way to do that than to use Romeo and Juliet? I hope that you enjoyed and will vote comment and share. Let me know if you enjoy this story and all that.
