10. Nothing But A False
Gnomeo's POV
Wow, how time flies so fast. It was like only yesterday when I met Juliet when she fixed my car months ago. Since then, we became inseparable and secretive with everyone since we're still being cautious on not getting caught by our schools and family. And so, we've been doing a pretty good job, all we do is tonight was the night, the night of the play. I hear people from my school will be coming and they are hating it A LOT! I honestly don't blame them since we are still in war, but they don't suspect their star player hating them a little less.
I was in wardrobe and makeup. Funny, I would hate this SOO MUCH! But this is part of my grade and my drama teacher was here to grade me, so no backing out. Plus, I was doing this for my special girl, which wasn't here yet, where could she be since we're about to go on in little time? I went out to look for her in every corner of backstage but no luck. I tried calling her but she wouldn't answer.
Soon, my phone started ringing and my first thought was Juliet but it wasn't, it was Benny.
"Hey, mate. What's up?" I answer.
"Hey, mate. Come outside for a moment. Me and the guys have a surprise for you" he says in a strange slow tone. I was a little worried by his tone but just ignored it.
"Ok, give a sec" I hang up.
I put on my jacket to hide the top part of my Simba costume; at least they won't laugh at the entire costume that involved having my chest bare. (A/N: Look at the costumes from the Broadway show) I sneak away from the backstage and went outside the building and out into the open, near the football field and basketball court. And since it was night-time, there were a few lights lighting the sidewalks and courts, it looked kinda creepy and it was cold outside.
I looked around the area until I saw Benny and my teammates coming toward me. But the second they saw me wearing African-like makeup and some parts of my costume, they started laughing out loud, I just rolled my eyes by them being the goofballs I know & sadly love as brothers.
"Whoa, nice outfit. I especially love the pussycat tail" Benny laughs, playing with my "tail".
"No! I love the kitty ears, so adorable!" my buddy Josh laughs, playing with my lion ears.
"Oh man, I totally feel sorry for you!" Greg laughs as the other start to laugh again, I just roll my eyes.
"Ok, ok, guys, stop, please. This is humiliating enough!" I said, with a small laugh too.
"We're sorry, mate. We just came to wish you good luck and tell you that we are so taking pictures later and posting them on Facebook" Benny couldn't hold back his laugh anymore and the others laughed out loud again.
"Ok, I'm out of here!" I turn to leave but they stop me.
"No, wait, Gnome, we also came to let you know that tonight we're pulling the biggest prank in Red & Blue history!" Benny exclaim with a evil look in his eye as the others nod in agreement.
"What do you mean tonight? Tonight is the play" Gnomeo says, confused.
"Exactly. While everybody is inside seeing the stupid play, the halls will be empty. A perfect opportunity to strike!" Ricky steps in.
"Ok, fill me in cause I don't get it. What are you guys planning on doing?" Gnomeo asks
"We're planning on stealing their precious trophy from our last game. The same trophy that should have been ours all because they cheated!" Peter steps in, growling
"You mean the game that was 2 months ago?" Gnomeo asks, concern & slightly worried.
"The same one. This is going to be the awesomest prank ever!" Benny cheers, high fiving his teammates.
Gnomeo stayed silent, not wanting to be part of this since he knew it will hurt a certain someone "Well, good luck with that guys. I'll see you when you come back from detention or suspension" Gnomeo waves, nervously, turning to walk away. But once again, he gets stop.
"Hold on there, mate. We not going to do this without you" Peter says, confusing Gnomeo.
"That's right, Gnomeo. We need your help to pull this up. I mean, you're our team captain & prank leader, the one who comes up with the best and successful ideas"
"Sorry, guys. As you can see that I'm busy tonight, so you guys are flying solo" he turns to leave.
"Is it because you're busy or because your Red handyman girl will find out?" Benny smirks.
Gnomeo froze in place & slowly faces Benny "What are you talking about?" he hesitates.
"Let's just say that if you don't help us with this prank, a certain secret gets exposed"
"What secret? I really don't know what you guys are talking about"
"Those these ring a bell to you" then Benny tosses him a mysterious yellow envelope.
Gnomeo opens the envelope and finds serious of pictures. His eyes widen in shock! These were pictures of him with Juliet in some of their past dates, from the first in the ice rink to the recent at the beach and around town, some of them were of them kissing and the others were of them showing their happiness. He was being blackmailed by his own cousin and teammates!
"You guys are blackmailing me!?" Gnomeo growls in anger.
"No, we would never do that to you. We're just simply making a deal with you. You help us steal the trophy and these pictures of you with your handyman will be what you want, a complete secret¨¨
"What happens if I refuse?"
"Then these pictures will not only be in the school website & newspaper but also in the Capulet's too, for both school to hate you"
"I can't believe you guys are being so cruel to me!"
"No, we're seeing this as an opportunity to chose to be the same old Gnomeo we admire as our captain, our friend, our brother"
"We're just looking out for you, Gnomeo"
"And that's why we want to do this with you. So, please, don't make us do this"
"All you have to do is be part of this prank and we won't tell anybody you betrayed us and these photos will not be seen by anybody"
Gnomeo looked down, trying to hide his fear and anger. "If I do this, promise me that you'll burn these photos and all the copies you made"
"You have our word. Right, guys?" Benny says and the others agree while holding their hands up.
"So are you in?"
"Just tell me what I have to do before I change my mind"
"Don't worry, you don't have to do much. All you have to do is tell us where they keep their trophies and on your breaks from this stupid play, keep a look out for us while he steal the trophy, got it?"
"Yeah, I got it" Gnomeo says with a sour tone.
"Ok, we're going to get the stuff we need. Text me when the coast is clear, ok, cous"
"Fine. See you guys later"
"Do you think we went to far?"
"No, you guys. He'll understand that this is for his own good"
Gnomeo walks thru the backstage people and the other kids in their costumes. And everybody who was in charge of the backstage stuff were running around with props and equipmet, even the director was nervous are heck.
"5 minutes to curtain, young people! I want everybody in position and will somebody get me a sandwich!?" Mr. Simmons exclaims like a total psycho director, sipping on his 5th coffee.
He saw in the corner Juliet, talking to Sir Elton John. He was probably wishing her good luck since she was his favourite goddaughter & only one. Gnomeo couldn't stop thinking of the prank; he never wanted to go along with this prank if it means hurting her. But if their secret relationship gets out to both of their schools, it will be the end between them, and they will be kept apart by their school/family rivalry and that is something he can't bare.
After she was done talking to Elton, Juliet turns and sees Gnomeo across the backstage and she smiles at him, the same heart warming smile he loves so much. She was wearing her stunning Nala costume, she looked so adorable with a pinch of sexy in it that curved her figure and not to mention the tail sticking out of her behind. She then gives him a signal to follow her. Gnomeo took a deep breath, trying to wash all his fears and worries away and followed her.
Juliet was only a few feet away; their distance was not to drawn attention or suspicion to the other kids. She goes into the costume room which was empty, only to have hundreds of costumes, wigs and accessories. Once Gnomeo arrived, she shut the door behind them.
"So... this is it" she smiles, holding his hands.
"I know, I feel like it was only yesterday when we started working on this play"
"Maybe it was. I really enjoyed this last few months with you"
"What? You're going to say that the only time you enjoyed with me was the play thing?"
"NO! NO! Every day & every second with you was the greatest of my life! You know why?"
"Why? Cause you find me irresistible?" he flirts, getting closer to her
"No, because I love you, Gnomeo. I can't hide it anymore. I know it took me long enough to realize it but now I know that I love you like I never imagine of loving anybody"
"You have no idea how long I've waited for you to say those words. And since we're confesing. I should tell you that no matter what happens tonight, never forget that I love you with all my heart, Juliet"
"I do too but why do you say it like that?"
"No reason, I'm just a little nervous, that's all"
"Then don't be. All you need is confidence and good luck"
"Do you giving me that good luck but with your lips?" he flirts, making her blush.
"You are such a flirt, Blueberry"
"But you love me anyway"
"You're lucky I do" she shuts her eyes and kisses him.
"Good luck out there. I'll see you later" he gives one last kiss for good luck and start to walk away.
"Where you going?" she asks, a bit confused.
"Oh, I got some stuff I need to take care off. It'll be quick" he walks out the room, leaving Juliet a bit confused by his attitude.
Gnomeo felt terrible lying to her but he felt even worst about doing his part on what he agreed on, the stupid prank that he hoped she wouldn't find out.
During the entire performance, he couldn't stop thinking of the prank that should be in progress right now. He admits that he enjoyed doing the "Hakuna Matata" scenes since it was his favourite song from the movie. But he's favourites ones were the "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?" with Juliet. Juliet loved those scenes more than he did; it was truly magical and romantic. She also loved doing the "Circle of Life" opening after rehearsing and practising the song with Elton while he played the melody on the piano. Elton didn't have any trouble working with her since he's taught her everything about his music, plus, she had a beautiful melodious voice. (A/N: I LOVED THE BRAODWAY SHOW! SAW IT IN N.Y. IN 2011. I WAS IN THE PuertoRican PARADE TOO!)
After the final bow and the curtain went down at the last scene, the crowd did a standing ovation by the spectacular performance; it was just like the same version from Broadway. The directors couldn't have been prouder of the kids who gave their 100% effort on this play, especially the leads. Elton John couldn't be thrilled and prouder of his goddaughter; he gave her fresh lovely red roses as a small reward for her effort as her friends and the other kids crowed her to congratulate her. she was glowing by her smile & excitement, this was one of the first times she's gotten good attention.
From a dark corner, Gnomeo, now changed in his normal clothes, saw her glowing smile and the twinkle in her green eyes, even he was extremely proud of her. Then the guilty thought of betraying her never cross his mind. By now, his teammates have pulled the prank already and when she and her father find out, she will hate him. The painful thought of losing her will kill him. But this was the only way to protect her from any more humiliation and suffering. She means more to him than his pride and lack of pranking.
Soon, his thought were interrupted by a whisper...
"Psst, Gnomeo. Over here!" Benny whispers & waves from the corner.
Gnomeo turns and follows Benny down the hall to outside the fields where the rest of the team was, cheering and high-fiving eachother. To Gnomeo, it was clear that they succeeded on the prank.
"So, did you get it?" Gnomeo asked, with small interest.
"Oh, we got it right here!" Benny exclaim as he pulls out a large golden trophy with a football player on top with the handwriting to the winning school but the guys crossed it off and put their school instead.
"We couldn't have done it without you, mate!" Benny pats Gnomeo's shoulder, who was showing a small smile but then secretly frowns.
"Yeah, you're going to see that being in this pathetic play was worth it" Greg said, chuckling.
"Tybalt is going to freak out when he finds out this belongs to us now!" a guy named Louis says.
"It's better if he doesn't" Gnomeo says, concern.
"Yeah, you're right but it would be funny to see" Ricky sets in
"Ok, you guys to the trophy, now get out of here before anybody see you" Gnomeo says, cautious for them if anybody sees them here.
"Sure things, thanks for helping out, mate" Benny pats his shoulder again as the other did too.
"You guys better fulfil your part of the deal" Gnomeo said serious
"And we will. When you come back to our hangout, you'll see us erasing all the photos. We gave you our word. Right, guys?" Peter explained and the others nodded in agreement again.
"Well, we better go, see ya later, Gnomeo" Benny said and he left with the guys, leaving Gnomeo alone in the cold fields, feeling mad inside.
"Oh, I hope I don't regret this soon" Gnomeo groans to himself, unaware he was being watched.
"Maybe you should" a familiar voice said behind him which made him froze in place.
Gnomeo turn and gasps "Juliet! How long have you...?"
But she cuts him off "So, the only reason in this play was to steal the trophy?" she asks, with a low tone.
"No, Juliet, it's not like that!" Gnomeo tries to explain but she looks away from him.
"Then what is it, then? Tell me, what I heard isn't true" she pleads, it was obvious that she was hurt.
He stays silent for a moment, trying to find a way to not hurt her any more. "If I tell you that I would be lying to you"
Juliet's eyes widen shock "So it's true, you never really wanted to be in the play with me. Everything you said & felt about me was nothing but a lie?!"
"No, I did! At first, it was all part of the plan to steal the trophy but when I saw you were doing this play, I really wanted to be in it to get to know you and spend time with you, Juliet" he walks closer to her but she backs away from him.
"And what do you call all of this, huh? TELL ME! A joke, a tease, a betrayal or a lie? You pick!" she screams, with tears starting to come out her eyes.
"I swear to you, Juliet. I never wanted to hurt you; you are the most amazing girl I ever met"
"You know what the worst part is?"
"What?"
"Is that I had the stupid fantasy that you and I can be together. But I think is better to keep dreaming than to see the reality, huh?" she turns to walk away but he pulls her back by her arm.
"No, wait, Juliet. It can't end like this between us"
"Funny you say that, because it's like if we ever had anything real. All I see is that you're a liar, a selfish guy with the heart cold as ice, incapable of thinking about his pride and loyalty to his school. Now I realize I never meant anything to you"
"No, that's not true. You mean a lot to me!"
"I find that hard to believe"
"Juliet, I know I messed up but if you give me 1 more chance to prove that we do have a future together" he pleads, holding her hands.
She then gives him a pity laugh "Huh? I see that the acting got to your head. Don't you see we have no future because I don't know if I can't trust you?" she pulls her hands away.
"You can"
She then gives him a blank glare until she spoke "Let me ask you something? Have you ever thought what might happen if I found out about this and tell the head master who happens to be my Dad, what you were really up too?" she asks, making him nervous.
"Yes, I did but I didn't think of that because..." he mumbles, nervous.
But she cuts him off again "Because you knew I wouldn't tell on you. I'm no snitch, Gnomeo but I'm going to try my entire life if it's necessary to forget you and act like none of this ever happened. Enjoy your trophy" she said, serious, trying to walk away.
But he steps in front of her to stop her "No, Juliet, wait..!"
"Don't touch me! And to prove to you I really mean it, I want to let you know that I will be going away for college at the end of the month. I'll be studying engineering in New York before I go to Europe next semester and you´ll never see me again" she explained, heartbroken.
But not as heartbroken as he was by the news "No, you can't leave me!"
"What do you care? You'll be graduating soon and doing your life someplace else far away from here. And you'll finally forget me"
"That will never happen. I want you to be part of my life, Juliet"
"Please, just stop and just forget me. Pretend I never existed, only this time, do it for real's"
"No, don't go! Ask me anything you want expect that, Juliet. I love you"
It hurt her so much to hear him said that. She loved him with all her heart too but after what he did tonight to her, she can't find a way to forgive him and say the same to him.
"(Sighs) Good bye, Gnomeo Blueberry"
"I had my reasons of why I did this, Juliet. Please, try to understand"
"Why should I? Because you are a guy with fame and pride to your school and I'm a filthy pathetic handyman who belongs to the rival school?"
"I don't understand why you're telling me this? You know I don't see you like that? You're much more than that to me"
"Ok then let me be completely transparent with you. Tell me something, Gnomeo. What do you call what just happened in your opinion? Hmm, answer me already... A lie? A betrayal? Disloyalty? Or mocking? YOU CHOSE!" she snaps while her heart was slowly breaking again.
"Oh, come on, Juliet. You can't possibly believe I had anything to do with this"
"I guess Tybalt was right, once a Bluebird, always a Bluebird. And a simple image means a 1,000 words"
"I am not what Tybalt says I am. He's putting you against me!"
"No, the only one who is putting me against you is yourself, Gnomeo. You showed me your true colors and not just Blue. Do you really think I'm an idiot!? Oh, please, Gnomeo!"
"I'm not lying to you. We were being blackmailed and I only did this was to protect you, so nobody would find out about us"
"Since when did you knew about this? And just by the blackmail, you decided to hurt me in the worst possible way?"
"It was a few hours ago when they came to me with a picture of us..." he mumbles, lowering his head.
"Oh! So, it was a few hours ago? When?" she huffs, crossing her arms.
"Before showtime" he says ashamed.
"And you thought it would have been funny to make a fool out of me after you say how gullible I was to you when we went out?"
"It's not what you think? You need to let me explain what happened... "
"Because there's is nothing to explain. Now I know what a manipulating idiot you are, Gnomeo. I even feel dirty for letting myself trust you and much more. I was even starting to love you but now I realize I was a complete idiot myself for not seeing this coming"
"I'm telling you I have nothing to do with it!"
Juliet started tearing up again "And you still have the guts to tell me that?! I thought I knew you, Gnomeo Blueberry. But who really are you? Is it possible for me to be so blind, to let myself fall into your trap? I thought you were a prince but now I see you ended up being worst than a frog! I gave you everything, Gnomeo. My trust, my friendship, my body, my love but I guess that didn't matter any to you" she lightly snaps, holding back her tears.
Gnomeo stayed silent for a moment, seeing how hurt she was until he finally spoke up...
"I swear to you..." he starts.
"Don't swear me anything..." she cuts him off
"I SWEAR TO YOU BY MY SOUL THAT I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH!" he screamed
"DON'T SWEAR TO ME BY YOUR SOUL! Because you don't have a soul or heart!" she screamed louder, angrier.
"I won't let you stand here and offend me like this when you have no idea what you are saying!" he snaps.
"Oh yeah?" she scoffs
"Of course not!"
"Oh yeah? The same way you already done it to me? And let me tell you something, the same way you came into my life, you are leaving and I hope you never come back, EVER!"
"You're being extremely unfair with me in the situation we are in, Juliet"
"You're not going to keep lying and manipulating me with that character of decency and that face of perfection you have. A gentleman of pride of honor? Stop it, Gnomeo. Your mask has shatter into tiny pieces just like my heart is right now"
"I see you're not going to give me a chance to explain. And I don't like what I'm seeing in your eyes at this moment"
"Perfect. Then it's perfectly clear between us. Do me the favor of going thru that door and never come back into my life ever again. I want you out of my life and what's left of my heart forever" Juliet finishes with a broken heart but with her dignity and without looking back at him. because if she did, she might go back to him.
Gnomeo felt like the most miserable and filthy being on Earth for playing with Juliet's emotions like this even though he was telling the truth. All he wanted do to is run after her but what's the point if she didn't wanted to listen or see him again. He felt like this was over between them.
(Back at Montague High School, hours later)
With a few night posts lighting his way, Gnomeo practically dragging his legs down the pavement, on his way to his school to meet up with his teammates. But why was he even going there? All he was going to hear was the guys congratulating him by going along with this sick plan that has cost him the love of his dear handyman. Now that he thinks of it, maybe he should go over there and scream and hurt their faces for hurting him like this. He makes across the large illuminated football field, heading to the locker room.
Inside a room in the locker-room, the team had an exclusive cool hangout with a 32'inch plat screen TV, a fringe with tasty snacks and drinks, a pool table and it had some of the awards and trophies they've won in the past years, most of them were all sports and the others of other subjects. The walls were decorated with school posters and posters of their famous sports teams like the Yankees, The Lakers, The Bulls, The Jets, the Patriots, the Giants, etc. They liked to call their hangout, "The Birdcage" by their team name. The second Gnomeo opens the door, all he heard was his cousin and the guys celebrating by their success. Gnomeo felt angry and dirty inside and not by stealing other people's property, by hurting the person that's close to his heart. They soon saw him coming in and went over to embrace him but Gnomeo stayed silent with a serious deadly glare of his face that they didn't noticed yet.
"You did a good thing for us, Gnomeo" Benny pats.
"You really came through for us" Greg said
"I hope you guys are happy because I just lost the one girl I ever loved" Gnomeo said with a low tone, trying to control his anger.
"Oh ok, man,you'll find another chick who is even better than her. I mean, do you see how she dresses?" Peter pats him.
"We can all mistake for a guy" Louis laughs as they others laugh along, giving Gnomeo an urge to punch him.
"I bet she buys bolts and wretches instead of makeup and shoes!" Benny laughs & they laugh louder.
"What a freak, huh?" Ricky laughs and they laugh for a 3rd time.
Ok, they crossed the line of that one! That's when Gnomeo couldn't control his ager any longer and completely snaps...
"THAT'S IT! SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHUT YOUR FREAKING MOUTHS! YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW ANYTHOING ABOUT HER LIKE I DO!"
"What's your problem, Gnomeo?" Benny asks, confused.
Then Gnomeo grabs Benny by his shirt collar, shocking him & the others by seeing the anger in Gnomeo's eyes and grit his teeth, ready to punch him.
"Gnomeo, what's the matter with you?" Greg butts in, trying to break up the soon-to-be fight.
"Guys, will you please go and let me "speak" to my dear baby cousin?" Gnomeo grits his teeth, sounding calmly as possible, scaring the guys.
"Benny, we will call you an ambulance!" Peter shouts as he and the guys leave the door, leaving them alone.
"Ok, what's your deal, man?" Benny snaps, pushing Gnomeo off him until he lets him go.
"My deal is that I'm sick and tired of having you guys push me around into doing pranks behind my back!" Gnomeo snaps, furious.
"But you agreed to be part of this prank!"
"But that will cost me the love of the only girl that's truly made me happy!"
"Maybe that's the problem! You're losing your touch of pranking our rival school just because you have feelings for their handyman?"
"She's more than that. I appreciate for who she is and not just a handyman! You should have never done that prank behind my back!"
"And you shouldn't have been dating that girl. Even when I told you she was no good, not only because she was Tybalt's cousin!"
"I cannot believe you, Benny. I opened the door to my house, I made you my right hand man of the team and this is how you repay me by destroying my happiness with the girl I love?!"
"Ok, I thank and appreciate those things you gave me but what I did was for your own good, Gnomeo"
Gnomeo scoffs "Benny, you had no right to get into my personal life like that"
"You guys are completely different! WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?!"
"And since when does color or age have to do with anything with love. I never cared if she was a Redfox or a handyman, I love for who she is and that's final!" Gnomeo finally states, serious.
Benny was shock "I don't even know you anymore. My cousin has always been a genius and mischief guy and can get away with anything! What happen to him?"
"He somehow changed, Benny"
"For what? For a girl who isn't worth as the ones you see here every day here in our school and on the streets?"
"None of them are compare to her. And I am a free man who can do anything I want in my life and if I say I want to be with a Red, so be it"
"She doesn't want anything to do with you anymore, Gnomeo. She has forgot you exist!"
"Because she thinks I have something to do with this!"
"And you do! You are the right hand man of this prank. So, don't let this girl destroy your reputation!"
"We love eachother and my feelings for her are true and serious!" Gnomeo states, serious.
"Serious? Well, very serious, I don't think so, Gnomeo" Benny scoffs, slightly laughing.
"And since when do you know anything about feeling love, Benny? To love a girl even though know she's completely different from you but feel so right to be with her?"
"Don't try to pin this on me, Gnomeo. I'm just going to ask how did this happen? Did it start when you 2 were in that play together?"
"Turns out, no, it didn't started at the play. It all started at the New Years' Eve party where we met for the 2nd time but kissed for the first time. Since then, she and I have been seeing eachother as I fell in love with her more and more. And I 'm not going to deny it, when I first saw Juliet, I thought she was the most beautiful and caring girl I've ever met"
"As much as this sickens me to listen, I see that why you have been missing out our daily football practises. You ever sneaking out with that mechanic" Benny insults.
Gnomeo growls "Hey, watch it! And yeah, I was sneaking out to see her, so what? I have to admit it but I have a weakness for her"
"I don't find this funny or right, Gnomeo. This girl is touring you apart from us and the fame you have in this school. If they were to find out, you will be known as the guy who betrayed us by going behind our backs and sneaking off with a Redfox"
"Let them find out and I'll tell them it was our fault why she dumped me. You did this to have her break up with me, Benny. Out of all the mean and stupid things you've done to me when we were kids, this is the worst and painful thing you've done to me EVER, Benny"
"Do you think this was fun for me to do, Gnomeo? To see you around and destroy everything we build and did for this school all because you like the handyman girl from that school? As much as it hurt me to do this to you, Gnomeo, I had to do it for your own good. And one of these days you will end up thanking me for it"
"I will never thank or forgive you for this, Benny. For this night on, you are officially dead to me" Gnomeo lowers his head, with anger and sadness in his tone.
Benny was hurt by his words "I don't believe you, Gnomeo. You're just mad and you're saying ridiculous things to only defend her. And you know what? You're playing with the emotions of a lot of people"
"I know I am but the emotions I'm more worried about are her's. She must be thinking the worst of me right now, all thanks to you"
Benny frowns in sadness but then replaces it with an angry one and stumps off in anger out the door, not wanting to speak to his traitor cousin anyone and hopefully ever again. The same goes for Gnomeo.
Gnomeo´s POV
I stay down on the couch, pondering everything that has happened and everything that still hasn't happen but will be very soon. I can feel it in my guts. I was so crushed that I was betrayed by my own cousin and team. But I felt even worst by betraying the girl I love. I clearly saw the hurt and anger in her green eyes. She trusted me and I let her down even though I was trying to protect her from getting even more hurt but I see that I hurt her even more by my lies. She sounded very serious when she said she didn't want to see me anymore.
I stay silent for a long time. I'm like a little kid that can be waken by the slightest sound. There was so many ways I wanted to say this to her. I would even go next door, sneak thru her backyard and beg for forgiveness from down her balcony. But I guess there's no point in trying at this hour, she needs to cool down and then I can try again. And when she least expect it, when she least imagines it, I won't resist and going after her again. I'll look at her in the eye and I'll shout it to her out loud. And even if she laughs at me and sees me as a total fool in coming after her. It's because she doesn't know in how many of my dreams and thoughts she's been in, honestly, I don't know, I totally forgot. But I'll tell her anyway. I know she'll give me the cold shoulder but I will not Give Up on her. We may still be silly young teenagers but in the near future, I want a world and life with her. I swear that its worthy waiting and waiting for even the smallest whisper or sign from her. Because it will be a sign from fate. I will not rest, I will not rest, I will not Give Up.
I have a rose with her name on it, literally. It even reminds me of her cause that's what she is to me, a pure beautiful red rose from an English garden. But if I don't give it to her now, it will wither in my pocket and I will haunt me forever, it's reserved for the woman I love and I know that she still loves me back. But she's block to love me back at the moment. I can never look at any other girl than her, her perfume reminds me of spring time and she has taught me of what I didn't knew about life which makes things brighter for me when she's around. And I am just one step away to getting my happiness and her love back. I admit that I felt a sick, strange and weird inside from the first time I saw her but it was because I instantly fell in love with her. I could list of words of what she means to me.
I won't stop! And whatever happens, I will NOT Give Up on her! Because like I said before, she is worth fighting for and not giving up until I get her back to me.
WHOA! THAT'S NOT COOL, MAN! HE'S REALLY DONE IT THIS TIME, OR HAS HE DONE WORST?! While I go kill him viciously with my gun & bow. I'm not promising he'll live. I'm kidding! Unless I'm lying *evil smirk* But we will get a replacement for the sequel (I CALL Leonardo DiCaprio or Ewan McGregor) I will let James McAvoy live, only him!
Anyways, I hope this cheers u up, Penny. Or if I failed, I'll find another & better way to cheer u up but I want u to know that ur not alone, u have me & the gang for love & support! WE LOVE U SOOO MUCH! (But I Love u more!)
