Not Romeo and Juliet

chapter 7 : the curse (part A)

Hot tears find their way to my cheeks.

"I am so sorry." I whisper to his dead body.

It is all your fault.

My sobs shake my body.

My door is kicked open and a wild looking Ash jumps in. when he sees my tears, (I never cry.) he looks more worried than ready to attack. "what happened?"

I show him the broken phone in my hand. "all the photos, the music, the books that I gathered over the years, they're all gone." I tell him, pouting.

He laughed. A real, actual laugh that made me feel better instead of angering me. ( he doesn't laugh that much.) and hugged me close.

"we'll buy you new books." He whispers to my hair, laughter still shaking his body.

" now come on. We're eating breakfast before going." He stands up, tugging at my wrist.

Ash, Lizzy and Jase were going to another country to gain information from one of the spies there. There was no need for me there so I decided to stay at home. Problem was they could come back tomorrow or the day after it.

If you tell this to anyone I will murder you but I think I might miss them. A lot actually.

After having breakfast, I help them to get their stuff. "Rose, if we come back late and can't make it to home tomorrow, I want you to go to this address and tell her that I'm okay."

"tell who?"

"you'll find out. But don't go there if we come back tomorrow. promise me."

I start nagging about how secretive he is and why all the hiding stuff ( he didn't budge. He actually didn't budge. Must be an alien.) but the serious look on his face tells me that there is no room to argue. ( Jees you beast. Do you have a secret Rose hiding somewhere?)

"fine. I promise." I say with a sigh.

He smiles, kissing my hair. "be careful Rose."

"you too." And they are gone.

***

I am torn in half.

I can't decide whether to wish him to come home soon or for him to come late so I get to see who is 'her'.

I like Ash. That's no big secret. (for you, anyways. You've been reading the last few chapters, right?!?!!??) it's been almost a month and my feeling only grew stronger.

If you love someone, you tell them. Even if you're scared that it's not the right thing to do, even if you're scared that it'll cause problems, even if you're scared it'll burn your life to the ground, you say it and you say it loud.

But I don't, you know, love him, right?

I only love his boyish smiles when he gives me a compliment or the way he is there when I need him. I love that no matter where I plan to go, he offers to come with me.

See? I don't love him!

My phone buzzes. I open it and see that it is a message from Ash. 'we can't make it today.'

I jump from the bed. I get to see who she was! ( I have such a creepy life.) it takes me about 10 minutes to go to the address and when I do I see that it is a hospital.

Heart: maybe he has a pregnant wife who is in coma and he visits her every week to see her and talk to her. Remind her of their unending love.(looks at brain with glassy eyes.)

Brain: -_- this ain't Grey's anatomy brother. Stop it with the creepy ideas.

I go to the room number and open the door silently. A woman in her fifties was sleeping on the bad. And one look at her and her treatment tells me she has cancer. Kind of cancer that is just 'too late.'

"who are you?" a delicate voice asks, Her eyes wide open. I was so deep in my thoughts I didn't notice her waking up. I smile an awkward smile. "Hi. I am Juliet. Ash sent me here to tell you he is okay. And you are?"
