Lady Juliette Calaster

Chapters 7&8

CHAPTER7

(Lady Juliette's POV)

The letter wrote,

Dear Juliette,
I can't even explain how sorry I am. I know this letter is late, and I'm sorry for that. I've been worrying out of my mind for you. Juliette, I don't think you know how much I adore you. Even though you stay quiet, I can see through your precious eyes. Juliette, your stunning. You light up my day. I've never felt this way before. I trust you, worry about you, and Juliette, I love you. I really love you. I don't know if you feel the same way, but when you walk in the room, my heart skips a beat, my stomach does flips, and I feel so natural when I'm with you.
You don't deserve what you went through. I watched the videos and I'm sorry. I wish that they would've captured me instead. I couldn't stand watching you suffer. I would think about the time when we slept together in each others arms. It might have been early for some people, but I could fall asleep like that everyday. Juliette, I want you to know that I love you more than anything, and if you don't feel the same way, I want you to be happy.
Love,
Carter

The paper now has drops of water all over it from tears. I hear a gentle knock on the door and Morgan gets it. It's Carter. She explains that I'm in a bath. He asks if they will notify him when I get out. Morgan agrees to. He leaves and I stay in my bath for about five more minutes while Katy and Grace do an elaborate up-do. I get out and they show me my dress.

I gasp. It's the best one yet. It's a light pink with a high low skirt. The top has swirly designs made from beads and sparkles. It's a strapless sweet heart neckline. The skirt has ruffles and a sash with a bow in the front. I quickly slip it on and Grace finished my hair. Katy does my makeup while Morgan slips on white heels. Grace does finishing touches. Katy clips my necklace on.

I look in the mirror and I see a beautiful girl in front of me. I can't believe it. I look so independent, so jaw dropping.

I say "I don't know what I would do without you guys.

They say "Just one more thing. Nails!"

Katy and Morgan do my nails while Grace dusts my room. They finish and stick a bow on each ring finger.

I laugh and say "Bows are definitely my thing."

They agree and say "Carter went to the gardens."

I nod and walk into the hallway. I stick the letter in my pocket when I walk out. I walk downstairs into the library and check the clock- 6:15.

I read a few chapters in "The Fault in Our Stars" and leave for the garden. I see Carter and run to him.

I hug him and say "Thank you for the letter."

He blushes and asks "You read it?"

"Yes. Carter I feel the same way."

"Would you mind if I slept with you tonight again?" He asks nervously running his fingers through his hair.

"No. Please do."

He smiles.

CHAPTER8

(Lady Juliette's POV)

We chat about stuff when I suddenly remember that I need to go to the infirmary.

I smile and make my way there. Doctor Ashlar takes out my stitches and I look in the mirror. I have a huge scar on my face. I have to admit, it looks bad. He puts on the fake skin again and says that I'm ready to go. I thank him and leave.

When I go to the library, I see something that I wish I hadn't. I see Carter and Samantha making out against the wall.

I cry and run out. I can't see where I'm going, and I bump into someone.

I realize it's Romeo and I cry into his shoulder.

He asks "What happened?"

"I saw..... Carter....... Kissing.... Samantha.... In the ............ Library." I say in between sniffles.

He hugs me and says "I'm so sorry. I promise I'll talk to him tomorrow."

I nod and cry into his shoulder. It's seven and I still have an hour.

I go upstairs. My maids ask what happened. I tell them everything from the first night until now.

When I'm done they say "I'm so sorry."

I tell them that "He said he would come in and sleep with me again tonight." I told them that "When he knocks, tell him that I'm sleeping and don't want to talk."

"Ok. We understand. They reapply my makeup and fix my hair. I thank them and start to leave.

I make my way down to breakfast and I am the third one there. I sit next to Delilah and we talk. The rest of the girls get here and the Royals arrive we stand and curtsy.

I look at Romeo and he sends me a soft smile. I quickly eat breakfast and make my to my room.

I get upstairs and ask for lunch in my room. I do the same thing for dinner.

Later that night, Carter knocks quietly. My maids follow the plan and say "She just fell asleep. She won't want to talk."

He says "Please. I just need to see her."

They give in and I pretend to be asleep. He walks over to me and lays down next to me. He goes to hug me and I turn around. I shouldn't have done that. Now he knows I'm awake...

He says "Juliette, what's wrong, love?"

I try hard not to fall for his kind words. I give him the silent treatment. He hugs me and says "C'mon this isn't like you."

"I saw you and Samantha." I whisper.

"Oh my god. She kissed me-"

"And you kissed back." I finish. He tries to apologize but I wave it off.

I tell him "Please leave Carter."

He looks sad and leaves silently.

I finally fall asleep.

"This is an exciting week! The Halloween ball!" Olivia says. Everyone starts chatting about their Halloween costume. Delilah and I decide to match. Its a suprise though.

The week flies by. I go on two dates with Romeo and run into Carter once. It's finally Friday-the day of the Halloween ball. The morning speeds by and suddenly it's time to put my costume on.

My maids curl my hair, slip on my costume, and do my makeup. Grace slips my shoes on and Katy paints my nails.
