    Juliet had woken up that day feeling melancholy. She messed up her love and the chance for her family to get along with the Montagues. She sighed as her nurse brought her breakfast. 

     "Good-morrow Lady Juliet." Bows the nurse. 

     "Good-morrow Angelica." Juliet greets without looking up. 

     "Is something the matter?"

     "I'm just tired." Juliet waves her hand back and forth. 

     "Lady Juliet, you sound much more doleful than tired." 

     "I..." Juliet couldn't bring herself to finish her sentence. 

     "Is it about yesterday?" Angelica asks as she opens the curtains. 

     Juliet nods. 

     "Why don't you just go apologize and explain what really happened?" Angelica suggests. 

     "They won't listen."

     "You won't know til' you try." Angelica says before she bows and exits. "I wish you luck. Make sure you finish your morning meal first." 

     Juliet releases a breath she didn't know she was holding and starts eating. Now, how will I leave unnoticed?

     Once Juliet finished her breakfast and tidied herself up, she pokes her head around her bedroom door and looks left and then right. Perfect. They're all busy with something else. She thinks before locking her room and going to the balcony. 

     Here goes nothing. Juliet thinks before she starts climbing down the vines that littered the side of the terrace. I don't think this is a very good idea. If I die, at least I'll die pretty. 

     Once she was on the ground, relief fills her body as she starts running towards the Montague's home. As she runs, she tried to blend in so it doesn't look like she's trying to regain her love from a rival family. When she reached her destination, she blindly knocks on the door and a servant of the Montague opens up. 

     "Good day-"

     "You fiend! You dare step foot near our territory? After what you did yesterday to both our lords, you still attempt to come here?" The servant vociferates at Juliet. 

     Juliet had forgotten that her family and their family. "I-I just wanted to apologize!"

     The servant scoffs. "You? A Capulet? Ask for forgiveness? You Capulets are mere tricksters who aren't devoted to anything. You Capulets can't resolute anything. Don't make me laugh."

     "It's true. I did something wrong, and I want to atone for it, please, let me see Benvolio and Romeo. I want to ask for forgiveness!"

     "You think an apology is going to fill the scar you left on our lords?" 

     "Even if it's pointless, I want them to hear me out!" Juliet at this point was on her knees begging.

     "Leave." 

     "Please!" 

     "Leave. If you don't want to cause trouble." The servant says before shutting the doors. 

     I'm not giving up. Juliet thinks before she goes to the back of the mansion. Seemingly, there are vines on this balcony too so it was easy to climb up and enter whatever room she might end up in. I sure hope I don't end up in a room with a lot of people. She thinks to herself as she slowly sets herself down on the balcony.
