Juliet

Fight or Flight?

SOTC: Another Sad Love Song- Khalid 

After I finished reading a few chapters of my book and almost finished my drink,  I got up and started to walk out of the cafe. Before I could open the door I looked at the table where I and Robin met. There was a man and a woman, both looking at about 23 years old. They both looked happy. Once I put my hand on the knob of the Cafe door and walked out. I noticed it was October, it was cold but I enjoy it. I started to walk away from the Cafe, not knowing where I wanted to go. While I was walking, I started to think. "Maybe Robin is mad at me. Or maybe he doesn't even like me." I thought in my head. The air got thicker. It was getting hard to breath. "Maybe he hates me and doesn't want to tell me. Maybe I should leave him alone." My head hurts and I feel dizzy. But I kept walking. Trying not to lose my balance. "Maybe I'm just being paranoid," I said out loud. I continued to walk. I know where I needed to go now. I felt as if something was wrong and that I needed to be with Robin. 

5 Minutes later...

I was a few steps away from Robin's house when I hear 4 people talking.  I hid behind the bushes next door. I heard Robin's soft, gentle voice, but he seemed angry.  "You need to leave. She isn't here." Robin said with an irritated and enraged tone in his voice. "Dude, leave, now," another voice said. I think it's Mack's voice.  "Go, Robin said she wasn't here. So what the hell are you still doing here?" another voice said. Jeremy? Why were all three of them at Robin's house? And who were they talking to? Then a voice I knew too well said, "Well that little twat must know where his girlfriend must be. I doubt he let her off her leash." Dez said. "She's not my girlfriend. y/n is her own person you shit head. I would never treat her like you do." Robin said. I saw his shadow moving closer to Dez's. "You think you're different? Just wait until you get your hands on her, you'll end up being just like me. Take Jeremy as an example, look at how he turned out." Dez said.  "

-Robin POV-

 "Robin calm down, dude" Mack said in a whisper and put his hand in front of me to hold me back. "Fuck off Dez," Jeremy said.  "What's wrong Jeremy? Aren't you mad that a girl left you for a boy she just met? Do you think it's because maybe the sex is better?" Dez said to Jeremy.  Then I couldn't handle the way Dez smirked when he said that. I moved away from Mack's hand that was holding me back, and I punched Dez in the mouth.  Then Mack started to punch Dez to keep him down and Jeremy stared at me in shock. Then he pulled Mack off, "Mack stop, come on." Jeremy said. "Come on, let's get inside," I said. I didn't know what to do. I don't know why I punched him, I swear I'm not a violent person. It's just when I heard the way he talks about y/n I felt angry. I didn't want to let him speak that way about her like she was just a thing and not a person with actual feelings. 

We all went inside and locked the door. I looked outside to see Dez coming to the window with what looks like a stick. A very big stick. Dez put the stick on his shoulder like a baseball bat. I looked over at Mack with big worried eyes and he looked at me with the same expression. "GET DOWN!" Mack screamed. We all ducked waiting for the clash between the stick and the glass, but nothing happened. 

-Your POV-

I grabbed the stick before Dez could swing it. "I'm right here. Please don't hurt them." I said. "Ah, finally. I was wondering how far I had to go for you to come out." Dez said while putting down the stick. "What do you want?" I told him. "I just wanted to see you," Dez said while coming closer to me. Then I noticed the three boys staring out the window towards me."I-uh-what do you want?" I asked again. Then he came closer to me and grabbed my wrist where he grabbed it before.  It hurt even more since it was bruised from the last time.  I felt myself getting pale. "Come on, my blue girl. Don't cry." Dez said while wiping my tears away. Then I noticed the three boys walking towards us. "Let her go you fucker!" Robin said while walking towards us with a stick. "Robin, no!" I said while going in front of Dez. "I would listen to her, you can't do anything anymore to protect your girlfriend. So forget it." Dez said while pushing me to his car. 

Gabby was right. I just let boys do what they want to me. I don't fight back, but when I saw that Dez was going to hurt Robin I knew I had to stop him. What was I supposed to do? Just watch and see what will happen? Then I heard a crash. Glass flew into the car from the backseat. "Get out now!" It was Gabby said in an irritated voice. I got out and backed away from the car. Gabby was close to Dez yelling and pushing him into the car door. "Go home Dez. You aren't welcome here." Gabby said while pushing the car door close. "wow G, you've grown up. We should hang out more" Dez said while giving a wink to Gabs. Then I grabbed a stick and threw it at the window. It broke the window and threw glass all over the street. Then Dez drove off. 

I looked at the three boys and Gabby. I did the only thing I could think of at the moment. I just ran as fast as I could. I didn't know where I was going but all I knew is that I didn't want to be near them, I didn't want them to see me cry. 

I ended up at the Cafe. I sat at the back table in the corner. I was trying to breathe. I can't breathe. I feel like I'm going to pass out. I wipe my tears away. Just breathe, just breathe.

Then I felt a soft hand touch mine. I pulled away because I already knew who it was. "Please, leave me alone," I said. "No, you mean to much to me. I won't ever leave you." Robin said while sitting across from me, trying to look into my eyes but I refuse to look at his deep brown eyes that always end up pulling me in. "y/n, please?" Robin said while reaching for my hand, but I didn't pull away. I wanted to feel his soft hands against mine. I wanted to feel loved. Then I looked at him. He was perfect and I was a mess. "I'm sorry," I said and broke down crying. "No, no, Hun. Don't be sorry, you have no reason to feel sorry. You're perfect. You are so perfect that it's absolutely crazy. Don't apologize for anything." Robin said while moving to sit next to me. Then I hugged him tightly, "You are absolutely amazing and I don't know what I would do without you. I love you so much, Robin. You're such a great friend." I told him. 

Then I noticed what I said. What the hell...You're such a great friend? I thought of Robin more than a friend. "I mean, you're a good friend and I love you, but I do love you more than a friend, but at the same time you don't have to like me back since I know that I'm not a likable type, and that for some reason I have a lot of boy problems and that I'm very complicated and that for some reason you're always with me even if I don't want you to see me, you still stick around when I have my bad days and you always calm me down when I am under the weather," I said without taking a break for a breath. Robin just stared at me in shock. "What?" He said with a giggle. A soft giggle that made my heart thump. "Basically I think you're a really cool dude,"  I said while hugging him. "Can we go to our spot? I want to explain more." I said while looking him in his deep brown eyes that made me float on clouds. "Of course Hun," Robin said while grabbing my hand. We got on his bike and rode off into the sun which was starting to slowly go down.

It's actually really fun writing these last few chapters, even though this chapter is a bit short it has a great message I wanted to share. And for some reason, I've been very emotional these past few weeks so all the chapters are going to be an emotional train reck or either very VERY romantic...hint hint...

I hope you enjoyed Juliet so far! xoxo
