The Romeo Juliet law

Week one(cont.)

No one will remember them. Agh shit I'm shaking. Ok... I just need to fucking stop crying. It's like my nerves are jumbled up. personally, I just wish I could stop feeling anything on command. No one, even me deserves fear, anguish, forgetfulness, and sadness beyond all hope. Yet, through this, I feel as if I finally found someone and that my parents being gone is not my fault. Maybe just maybe there's a part of him that likes me. Also if he did I hope he is willing to be more. Yet he is in 12th grade. Like what the actual fuck. He is to cool for me.

As I made my way out of school because I spaced out for like 30 minutes. I saw a flyer to see this garage band and it was for tonight! 

When my parents died, they knew we had no other family. So they paid people to let me live alone. This will be a great excuse to get my mind off my empty house. The best part was that this place is close to my house. 

~I am at the house~

As I walk in, Jacob is the main vocalist. He looked so hot and he was singing a cute song. When they started to think of the song, Killing Me Softly with His Song by Fugees. Especially when she sang, 

"Strumming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words 

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd

I felt he'd found my letters and read each one out loud

I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on"

I felt so hot that after there 5th song, I didn't even care if they were still playing because I got too flustered.  As I walked to my car someone pulled me by the arm. It was........Jacob? I wonder why "Rose why are you leaving? I mean you didn't even say goodbye". The interesting part was he looked genuinely offended.  " Jacob, why do you even care? Look I like you and all but you don't wanna know me, ok?" What shocked me the most after I said that was I could see the pain in his eyes. " Rose, you are gorgeous and smart. I saw what those kids did to you in the hall after  I left. Mainly you don't remember because they got you so bad that you passed out. When my friends left I had to pick up some homework. I shooed them away and took you to the nurse. I think you were just too out of it but I made a video if you want to see because I didn't wanna seem like a weirdo. I was so glad to see you in math doing better." He then pulled out his phone. As I saw this I realized he wasn't like everyone else. " Why did you do that for me?" He really was thinking hard, it was almost like he was trying to find the right words to express himself. " I want to be the guy to protect you, care for you, and hold your hand when you're scared. All I want in return is to see you smile. I have barely gotten to know you and yet, I still see how special you are. Rose can I have your number and would you go out with me, please?" I wanted to cry and kiss him at the same time.  I gave him a smile and my number.

~Friday evening~

Throughout the week he has been nothing but a gentleman. He is better than having a puppy. As the 7th period ended he walked me out holding my books. The best part was even his friends are super sweet. Every night I see him and his band play. Let me tell you, they get better every time I see them.  

 I am especially excited for tonight because he is coming to my house. We are gonna watch some movies and have fun. The best part is that he has no idea about my parents. He keeps asking what they do though. Maybe the mansion they left me will give away some tips so I don't have to actually tell him because I try to avoid awkward situations. 

I hope he is not uncomfortable knowing I'm rich. The house the band plays at is a cute cottage but I doubt he gets a rich life. That's ok because he can learn.
