❝We are all Romeos looking for our Juliet, but never finding her.❞

"Chug! Chug! Chug!" The crowd yelled out, and I obeyed them. I chugged the beer down. I didn't know what else to do.
I've always just listened to other people. I tried to fit in as best as I could, but I shouldn't have. Maybe I wouldn't have lost her, if I didn't. She was my savior, and now there's no one beside me to prevent me from drowning.
But I haven't seen her in years. Every year I come to my brother's parties to get a chance to her again, but she never comes. Her friend, Valerie, is always here though. I try to ask her questions like, Is she happy? Is she okay? Does she miss me? But she never answers a single question. I'm not so sure whether she even knows who I am.
I just really miss her.

"Hey Ella. You just wanna take a walk?" I asked.
"Yea sure." Ella said with a smile.
"What do you wanna talk about?" I asked.
"Anything is fine." Ella while laughing a bit.
"Why do you think we're living?" I asked.
We would always ask each other questions and randomly debate about them. It was actually fun.
"Well I'm not sure. Because technically we're all dying. Everyday our cells are dying, some rejuvenate, but not all of them. The amount of cells that we have in our body keep decreasing until we die. So technically we're not even living." Ella said rapidly.
"Yea but we're still living. If we're not living then we wouldn't even be able to do what we're doing -" I went on and on.
We kept debating and debating.
Those were the days. I loved those days, just like I loved her.
But it was the wrong time.
We were both broken inside. I never showed her how broken I was, but she showed me how broken she was.
