We wrote this one lunchtime at school, then had to save it onto the school computer, send it to my home one, then upload it. Yep, this requires a lot of work! =P
Disclaimer – I do not own Wizards of Waverly Place. If I did, Max's catch phrase would still be "That's bunk!" ;)
Chapter 3
"Hi, Justin," Juliet said as she climbed into her boyfriend's small, black car.
"Hey," he replied, kissing her on the cheek. Justin admired how pretty she looked, in a short black and silver dress, shiny stilettos, which Juliet had specifically worn to avoid having to stand on her tiptoes to kiss her boyfriend, and her blonde hair was straight and silky, hanging well below her shoulders.
"Late much?" she joked, glancing at her watch, which read '4:10'.
"Right, sorry, J." He smiled at his girlfriend, and she gave him one in return.
He explained that they were going to a secret magical beings' park in the centre of New York, one, which Justin knew, Juliet had wished to visit. Before long, the couple were cruising through the now beautifully lit up city, and admiring the twilight sky. As soon as they arrived at the park, Justin jumped out of his car, and ran to the other side to open his girlfriend's door. She took his hand, letting him pull her up, before they began their evening stroll through the autumn trees. After a while of talking and peaceful silences, Juliet stopped on a the moonlit path and sat down on a wooden bench.
"This is really nice, Justin" she sighed.
He smiled, and sat down, close to her, on the bench. "Yeah, it is," he replied. "Juliet, there's something I've wanted to tell you."
Alex, back at home, could hear the started conversation. She placed her notebook, -with the sketch of her and Justin- on the table,
and concentrated the mirror, gripping the rough wooden frame.
"Well…" Justin started, "We've been together for a while now, and I just wanted to tell you that…"
"Yes," Juliet said, gazing into his eyes.
"Umm…" he started. "I just wanted to say…"
"Say what, Justin?
He took a breath and sighed. Why was he finding it so hard to say? Perhaps, because it was because it was his first time saying this? Or because he was nervous about what Juliet's reaction would be like. Or perhaps he was just so swept away by Juliet's loving, hazel eyes staring back at him. After several long moments, Justin managed to open his mouth. He reached forward and grabbed his girlfriend's hands. "I love you, Juliet."
"Justin…" Juliet smiled, a tear pricking the corner of her eye. "I love you too."
"What?" Alex shrieked. Her mouth was wide open as she pressed her face onto the cold glass, creating a circle of condensation on the surface. She could Justin and Juliet sharing a kiss.
Justin.
Kissing.
Someone else.
She'd never seen her brother kiss his girlfriend before. Of course, she knew they kissed, but not once had she ever seen it.
Alex felt as if she was a young child; watching a TV programme that she knew she shouldn't see, later giving her nightmares, and her wishing she could unsee it. But at least her favourite show would lead the nightmares away. She wouldn't be able to free her mind of this.
She stood still for a second. Then, with full force, Alex threw the mirror onto the floor, and it shattered into fragments of silver pieces. A sudden whoosh sound screamed in her ear, before the mirror in disappeared in flash. A feeling of pain, jealousy and sadness went through her as if a dagger had gone through her heart.
She closed her eyes, and could feel a tear slipping down her cheek. "He can't do this!' she yelled to the empty house, only to be replied to with her voice echoing around the room. "I should be the one he loves, not her!"
How was it? Also, can I just say sorry that the chapters are so short. We kind of… write some, and then want to upload it. We don't really think about the length, just the writing. =)
Tragicending1091 – Thank you! =) Hmm, help… How about some criticism? What can we improve on?
Roganjalex – Thanks, glad you are. =)
Gotchi-chan – Thank you, Gotchi! =) I hope you liked all my reviews. I can't wait for Keep Holding On's sequel! =D If my next chapter's good, can I have another cookie? ;)
A l b a . D e l a c o r t a – Hehe! Thank you for… Looking forward to it… If that makes sense!
Megsy R - Haha yeah, our other friend, Sabrina, who inspired us to write this story, hates the fact that it's technically incest. Don't you just love those Jalex scenes at the end of Wizards vs. Werewolves ("Promise me we'll find normal people." "We're not normal people.") and in Wizards vs. Angels ("Why do we have to keep dealing with stuff like this?" "We're wizards. I don't think we have choice.")? Lol. XD
Please REVIEW and tell me what you think so far! And love you guys that added a Story Alert/Author Alert/Favourite Story/Favourite Author.
