Who Needs Romeo?

Chapter Two

Romeo's P.O.V

What is that noise? God, it reminds me of a cicadas, but at least the annoying little bugs can be killed easily. I am way to tired to try and kill any bugs right now maybe later. Besides killing bugs with you Palm is gross. I wonder if I should use the emergency button to get a nurse to kill the ewwy bug. Am I drugged..... My mind doesn't usually work like this. I feel like a little kid again. I wish my mommy could read me a bedtime story... because I'm really really tired.

Juliet P.O.V

"Sweetie you still there?"

No I'm not I never have been, I think but I'm still to frozen to verbally respond. He had to be kidding me. This isn't happening. It will never happen. It can't happen. why me?

"Darlin' it will be fun!! Just think of it as a new start. Besides you can see you little cousin more now!" my aunt Stella pipes in.

"Oh my gawd!! I'm so excited! I can't believe this!" My little cousin Vivian practically screams into the phone. My eardrums hurt now. She is extremely "happy" for a girl her age. She is only three years old and is completely jaded. She believes in fairy tales and knights in shining armor coming to rescue you. No knight saved me any time in the last 18 years. But I could never tell Vivian that, she would be crushed. And just because I don't love her that doesn't mean I want to ruin her childhood. I never was able to be a little kid and I wish I could have grown up being sweet and innocent. But my dad had different ideas after his wife died during childbirth. Apparently I look just like my mom had and the anger he felt towards her he took out on me. Even though I was only a little girl that day will forever be imprinted into my brain. He came home severely drunk and with a gun I didn't know he had. the rest I've always tried to block out. I do remember the fear and intense pain I felt.

"Sweetie you okay? We understand you've had a rough upbringing but I think you will especially like it hear. Plus I have a big, big surprise for you when you get here! okay? Good. Bye!"

My aunt's enthusiasm was sickening. Doesn't she understand a candy bar or whatever her surprise is won't make me happy? maybe her house will have a high enough roof for me to jump off of. Because I'm not worthy of living. the reason I'm always so cynical is because my father was just arrested for life. Even though I never loved him he was the only person who could tell me about my mom. I have always wondered what it would be like if she had lived. Would I still hate myself?

Author's note: Just so everyone knows this kinda thing has never happened to me. it's all just coming from my imagination. I'm sorry it's so short
