Chapter 3

At the church he met Friar Laurence. Friar Laurence was doing some planting of a certain poisonous flower. "Why hello my boy. What can I do for you today?" Troy said "Father, I am in love. Please help me. My beautiful fair maiden has blinded me with love but she is a daughter of rich Capulet. I'd wish to marry her. But she denies is. What shall I do to be mine. She and I are meant to be together."

Friar Laurence thought for a while and said "I will help you with you" and Troy said excitedly "O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste." and Friar Laurence said as Troy stumbled and falls on a wall "Wisely and slow; they stumble and that run fast." Troy stood up and walked out of the church happy.

He walked to a street where he sees Mercutio and Benvolio. Mercutio sees him and called out his name "Romeo, Romeo!" and Troy walked towards them. "Hello to you too" he greeted them.

"What counterfeit did I give you" and Mercutio said "The ship, sir, the slip; can you not conceive?" and Troy said Pardon, good Mercutio, my business was great; and in such a case as mine a man may strain courtesy."

Mercutio said "That's as much as to say, such a case as yours constrains a man to bow in the hams." Troy just follows along the conversation as he replied "Meaning, to court'sy." and the conversation went on and on.

A few minutes later Juliet's nurse came and said "Are you Romeo?" Troy said "Yes? What can I help you with?" and Taylor said as she approaches Troy was surprised by the woman in front of him. "What is your relationship with Juliet, sir?" and Troy said "She is my love my dear lady. No one could ever be my love other than her." and then Taylor ask "What is going to happen between you and Juliet?"

Troy then said as he bit his bottom lips as he mumbled "um......." And then Taylor ask him "well, what's your answer?" and Troy gave her a huge grin as he said "Tell dear Juliet to come to the cell of Friar Laurence to meet me there and……" he pauses and continued as he smirked "to be wed" Taylor smirked as well as she left with Peter. Romeo's friends couldn't but surprised by his actions.

The nurse went back to the castle and told Juliet the message. "My dear Juliet, have you have your permission to go to confession today?" and Gabriella nodded "Good." and gave her a wide smile "Nurse, you are keeping something from me. I demand you tell me. What did Romeo say?" and the nurse said "The young man ask you to meet him at Frair Laurence's cell tonight…as he wants to be make you his wife." Excitedly she held Gabriella's hands as Gabriella who was surprised but happy of his decision said excitedly. "Oh sweet nurse, I am truly happy I have found the man I love. At long last" and they shared a hug

At the Friar Laurence's cell, Troy/Romeo waited patiently as he waited for the presence of Gabriella. Then he sees her walking on the aisle coming towards him. "The fair maiden is far more beautiful than the starry night" he whispered as he couldn't take his eyes off of her.

As she finally arrived, Troy whispered "You're beautiful Juliet" and Gabriella blushed as Friar Laurence started the ceremony. As the ceremony goes, Nurse wouldn't stop crying and Peter would occasionally comfort her. The two of the said their vows and they are officially husband and wife.

Meanwhile, trouble occurs between Tybalt and Mercutio. A feud between the Montague's and the Capulet clans. Tybalt and Mercutio were in a sword fight. Troy was surprised he stopped it. Then was challenged by Tybalt but Mercutio was quick to draw out his sword and challenged Tybalt instead.

"Mercutio put down the sword" Troy ordered sternly but he wouldn't listen as Tybalt and Mercutio walked around in a circle. Then they fight again. But then Tybalt did the unexpected. He grabbed Mercutio and pulled him down on the ground and stabbed Mercutio. He died instantly.

Troy was devastated. He grabbed a sword that was abandoned and walked quickly towards Tybalt. He said as he punched Tybalt to the ground "Yoy have murdered my friend and it is now your turn" and stabbed Tybalt who was begging him to let him go, straight through his heart.

Upon realizing he killed someone, he dropped the sword on the gun and said "I am a fortune's fool" and ran away to the only place he could think of, Friar Laurence's cell.

The Prince Montague, Capulets and their wives arrived at the scene after he departed a few minutes later. I was pouring rain. Prince said "Where are the vile beginners of this fray?" and then Benvolio started to speak "O noble prince, I can discover all The unlucky manage of this fatal brawl: There lies the man, slain by young Romeo, That slew thy kinsman, brave Mercutio.

Then Lady Capulet cried out Tybalt, "my cousin! O my brother's child!
O prince! O cousin! husband! O, the blood is spilt O my dear kinsman! Prince, as thou art true, For blood of ours, shed blood of Montague.
O cousin, cousin!" and cried some more in the pouring rain.

Prince then said that Romeo is banished from Verona. The news was spread and it came to Gabriella like a hurricane. She cried as she sits on the bed. She didn't realized that Troy, decided to stop by and say goodbye before going to hide somewhere far away as possible away from Verona. He hid behind the curtains and sees her sigh.

He decided to show himself. He parted the curtains and Gabriella was surprised said "Troy" and hug him. He smiled and started to kiss her. Then he brought her to the bed and started to kiss her again. Then he started to undress and Gabriella followed along. "I love you Gabriella. I always will" and kiss her again. That night they make love in the most passionate way. (AN: excuse me for skipping da love scene)

After they said goodbye as he departed, Lady Capulet went in her room. "Juliet, I want a word with you" and Gabriella sat up straight. "Of course" and her mother sat on her bed "Juliet, your father and I agrees you are to me married. We have a handsome young lad downstairs waiting anxiously for you. Come get dressed. We want to introduce you to your future husband" and stood up. Gabriella wanted to kill herself. "And remember don't be too long now" Her mother said as she walked out of the room.

A few minutes later, Gabriella came down and sees Sir Paris waiting for her at the stairs with a bouquet of flowers in her hand. He handed her the bouquet of flowers as she arrived at the final step. "Thank you" she said as she held the flowers and pretend to smell them. They are fresh roses.

She remembered Troy. "God, help me" she said in her thought as Sir Paris took her by the hand and brought her to the living room where both her parents are waiting for her. "Ah, daughter. You finally decided to join us. Come, sit beside us" The father and patted the seat beside his. She sat down next to him.

"Now daughter, we are here today to discuss the matter of your marriage with Sir Paris" Capulet said. "Daughter, we've arrange the wedding on Thursday next. Do you agree?" her mother ask and Gabriella gingerly nodded heartbroken. "Good. Well, all is set and done. We must leave now. We have an important announcement for the city of Verona. We must not be late. Come wife" Capulet ordered as he left the room leaving just her and Sir Paris there alone.

Gabriella felt kind of awkward. She suddenly stood up and was about to walk out of there when she felt herself being pulled back to the chair and onto his lap. She felt strange. Then the unexpected happened. He kissed her lips. She felt disgusted pulled away and slapped him " you sir are not a gentleman. I disagree with the marriage. Good day" and walked out of the room and ran upstairs towards hers. When she closes the door, she cried as she was worried about what has happened between Troy and herself. She wished she is back. Back home with her own family. Home at Albuquerque.

The nurse came in and sees her crying. She comforted the crying girl and said "Its alright my dear. Everything will be over soon" and hugged her. Gabriella hoped so to. It really has becoming bad. But things aren't as bad as it seems.
