14. Don't Want To Be Torn
Juliet's POV
I was over joy! I honestly couldn't believe that a baby was growing inside of me. If I wasn't in trouble with the Red garden, I would have screamed it at the top of my lugs with pure joy and happiness like a maniac but I'm not going to. I'll have to keep this massive happiness inside me and just share it with my best friend and no one else.
"So, what do we do, Julie? Do we cry or we celebrate?"
"A child of my love, the man of my life. I'm going to be a mum, Amy!" they both laugh and hug eachother, squealing with happiness.
"Oh, my Julie! I'm so happy for you!"
"Wait, tell me again. What did you dream up? It was a lot of babies?"
"Oh, precious, cute little babies"
"But if one of them is mine? Of who were the other?"
"I have no idea but there were a lot to fill the entire garden, they were all smiling, adorable. I'm telling you that it was a dream filling with light"
"Did you see my mum? Was she happy?"
"Beyond happy, Julie. That this little angel that is coming is going to bring life and love to you and Gnomeo's lives"
"A life inside me. I'm going to have a child" "A child of the man who I am forbidden to love"
"No, Julie. You are not forbidden to love Gnomeo. I know it's been hard for you guys to be together but everything will get better"
"I don't know, Amy. Maybe this might be a bad idea. I mean, can you imagine? The child of a Red and Blue? That's the worst nightmare of both gardens. My child would be a mistake"
"No, you have to look at this as a good and wonderful thing for you, Gnomeo and your gardens"
"That's not the thing I'm worried about that, Amy. If my Dad finds out I'm pregnant to the son of his mortal enemy, he would be capable of doing anything to kill Gnomeo and this baby, even it's his grandchild"
"He doesn't have to find out just yet"
"You do know he's going to notice when I start... growing, you know?" she points to her flat stomach.
"Yes, but you don't have to tell him"
"But he's going to find out anyway and he furious"
"Who will be furious? And about what?" Nanette literally jump in, making me a little nervous. Even if she was my best friend, I didn't know if I should tell her or not.
"Should we tell her?" Amy asks me
"I don't know. She has a hard time keeping secrets" I says
"Hello! Standing right here!" Nanette says, waving her hands to us
"Shh, Nanette, keep it down. It's very important that you keep this secret" I say in a shush tone
"Why? What's the secret?" she asks
"Nanette, Juliet is..." Amy starts
But I cut her off "No, Amy, I'll tell her" I said, bravely
"What? What's the secret?! I'm filled with curiosity right here!" Nanette starts to get excited.
"Nanette, I'm pregnant" I confess.
Nanette froze in place. She wasn't even blinking. Juliet and Amy look at her confused and waited for her to unfreeze but she never did.
"Is she going to stay like that all day?" Amy asked me
"No, she'll literally burst with excitement in exactly 3... 2... 1" I counted down
"AAAHHH!" Nanette screamed and got a gallon of water all over me and Amy.
"NANETTE, SHUSH!" I screamed, shutting her big frog lips
"ZIP!" she zips but starts talking again "I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it. This is fantastic!" Nanette hugs me, tight.
"Yeah, but this is Juliet's decision" Amy said as Nanette lets me go
"What do you mean?" Nanette eyes me
"Listen to me, both of you! This is our secret. Nobody must know I'm pregnant" I said, serious
"Not even the father?" Amy asked, referring to Gnomeo.
"Gnomeo has the right to know" Nanette added and they cross their arms at me, waiting for me to make a decision.
Thanks to the love of the man of my life, I am now having his child inside of me. Speaking of which sharing, I then thought of him. What's he going think and how to react when I tell him? After I told him to stay away from me. But that was because I wanted to protect him from my Dad. And I don't even want to imagine what my Dad will to him when he finds out I'm pregnant of his child. That's why I made the decision.
"He mustn't know. I don't know how to tell him" I said with a frown & it surprises them.
"Jules, this has nothing to do with you or him. It's about your little creature that's on its way. Don't you remember what my godmother told me in my dream? This is a blessing, a gift from God. She said "Enough with all this feud and hate and revenge attacks. This baby will be the truce between your 2 gardens and be your happiness and possibly to all of you" Amy points out.
"Don't you think I know that? But this is more than just Gnomeo and the feud" I said.
"Then what is, girl?" Nanette asks, confused as Amy was.
"Guys, if my Dad almost lost his head when he found out I was having a relationship with a Blue. Can you imagine what he'll do when he finds out I got pregnant of him?" I said, extremely worried.
"He's going to tear him to tiny pieces" Nanette said
"Not helping, Nanette" Amy said, in a huff.
"But it's true. But even if it happen, you have to tell Gnomeo you're having his child" Nanette said
"Yeah, next time you see him..." Amy started but I cut her off
"I'm not seeing him!" I accidentally snap at them and clear my throat "I mean, I'm not seeing him anymore" I said with a frown and a tear.
"What do mean, Jules?" Nanette says, confused as Amy was.
"I told him to stay away from me and forget I ever excited" I frown, holding back the tears.
"Oh, Jules, forgive me when I tell you this but..." Amy started
But Nanette finishes for her "YOU'RE SO STUPID!"
"NANETTE!" Amy yelled, slapping her silly.
"Excuse me?" I eye her.
"What she means is that, why did you tell him that?" Amy asks
"Because it's the only way to protect him from my Dad. And now more than ever" I said.
"Juliet, I know this is very hard for you and I understand you're trying to protect him. But you can't let your fear of thinking this will all end bad get in the way of your happiness" Amy explains.
"She's right. I mean, you're having a baby of the man you love. There is nothing more beautiful than that. A child is always a blessing and I'm sure your baby is not going to be seen as mistake" Nanette says, and it offended me a little.
"A mistake? Why do you say that?" I ask her
"Yeah, Nanette, why do you say that?" Amy eyes her, slapping her silly again.
Nanette frowns by what she said "Julie, I didn't need it like that..." I then cut her off
"It's ok, Nanette. I know what you mean. If you guys don't mind, I'm going to take a walk and clear my head"
"Sure and I hope you make the right decision no matter" Amy says, holding my hands and getting a smile out of me. I knew she meant well but I was so confused tat I didn't want to reject her help.
"I'll be fine, guys. I just need a minute" I frown and leave the Red garden and going to the only place where I have peace and tranquillity.
(Over at the Blue garden)
Gnomeo's POV
I was in deep thought in my garden after I was able to go back after a while. I lay back on my windmill and all I could think of these last days and weeks was my loving Red. I know she must be having a miserable time with those blasted Reds. All I wanted was to get her out and take her far away from all this mess where we can be happy. Soon, my thoughts were interrupted when I was Benny walking toward me.
"Gnomeo?" he says in a low tone.
I turn to face him "What's up, Benny?" I said softly.
"Look, I know this not be the right time but I just wanted to cheer you up and say that I told you so" he says.
I was confused and it kind of hurt when he said that last part "So, your way of cheering me up is gloating about yourself"
"No. What I mean is that, remember when I asked you about that Red girl?" he asks and I nod "Well, this is what I was talking about"
"Ok, 1st of all, her name is Juliet. 2nd, is this your way to cheer me up, it's not working. And 3rd, please, be more clear of what you're meaning to" I point out, serious.
"What I mean is that none of this would have happen if you haven't come clean in the first place. If you told the truth, she wouldn't be in total lock down over there"
"Believe me, all I want to do is get her out of there. I swear to you, out of all those despicable Reds, she's the only one that is anything like them"
"Do you still believe she's this innocent little dove, do you?" he says with a sour tone, which made me a little mad and annoyed.
"Benny, if you came to insult her. I suggest you leave me alone" I growl, turning away from him.
"I'm just trying to make you have reason and understand what's going on. You may not see it now but being away from that girl is the best thing that's happening to you right now. So, think about it" he leaves.
There was nothing to think about. I am not leaving Juliet even if I have to fight for her. I lie down on my windmill and closed my eyes to get some sleep. Think a few minutes have passed until I was in a deep sleep. A dream started to form in my head.
Gnomeo's Dream
I was in the abandon garden which was all clean and beautiful. Me and Juliet have kept it like this since the feud ended. I had a happy grin on my face and I was running around the garden, like of I was looking for something or someone.
"Where are you, you little rascal?" I called in a playful tone. "Come out; come out, from where ever you are!" I called again but nobody answer.
I heard some childish giggles, I look around me but I couldn't tell from where those laughs and giggles were coming from. I search the bushes, the shed, the greenhouse, every place I could think of but no avail. I then saw a bush moving and rustling from a distance. I slowly walk over to it and found a little girl with purple hat and dress. She had blonde hair like me and had green eyes like Juliet. In fact, she looked a lot like her.
"There you are, you little sneak!" I laugh with her, tickling her little chin.
"You finally found, Daddy!" the little girl laughs.
(Dream Ends)
WHOA! That was a very strange dream! Why would I dream that? That last word echo in my head and the more I thought about it, I couldn't figure out why and what was the reason of having a dream like that. And more importantly, who was the little girl in my dream?
(Over at the abandon garden)
Juliet's POV
The night was starry and the cold breeze hit against my face, trying to dry up my tears. This whole pregnant thing is killing me. I was torn between my family or my love for a Blue. I sat down on the edge of the pond with my bare feet in the cold water but I didn't feel it since I was more in my own little thoughts. I started having flashbacks of all those happy and passionate times with Gnomeo. I was even getting chills of imagination his hands stroking my face and my body, especially those special nights of us making love. His lips against my own and his hands stroking ever inch of my body, making me feel like he's taking me to the clouds and then back to Earth. I open my eyes, coming out of my fantasy. There were nights when the wind was so cold and my body froze in bed if I just listened to it right outside the fence. There were days when the sun was so cruel and all my tears turned to dust and I just knew my eyes were drying up forever without anybody caring. And the way to forget him, I have banished every memory he and I had ever made. But when he touches me like this and he holds me like that, I just have to admit. That it's all coming back to me. When he touches you like this and I hold him like that. It's so hard to believe but it's all coming back to me now. I started crying my eyes out with my hands in my face. I was in real hot water. I remember my mum once told me if I ever in a tough situation, all I had to do is listen to my heart and there I'll find the answer. But how can I? This was the hardest decision in my life.
"Don't Wanna Be Torn" by Hannah Montana
"Maybe it's the things I say And these walls I'm building now I thought you said it was easy Don't wanna be torn No one made me have to choose between Now it all feels like I'm five I thought you said it was easy Don't wanna be torn Why is all this so confusing The tears I'm cryin now I thought you said it was easy (easy) Don't wanna be torn (don't wanna be) Don't wanna be torn (You wanna be torn) (Thanks to Katie for these lyrics)
Maybe I should think before I speak
But I thought that I knew enough
To know myself and do what's right for me
You used to bring 'em down
And these tears I'm cyin' out
You used to wipe away
Listening to your heart
I thought you said I'd be okay
So why am I breakin' apart
Don't wanna be torn
Don't wanna be torn
Don't wanna be torn
What I want and what you think i need
(what you think i need)
Cause I'll always be your little girl
But even little girls have got to dream
You were always on my side
And the lonely i feel now
You used to make it go way
Listening to your heart
I thought you said I'd be okay
So why am I breakin' apart
Complicated and consuming
Why does all this make me angry
I wanna go back to being happy
You used to wipe away
Listening to your heart (listening to your heart)
I thought you said I'd be okay
So why am I breaking apart
Don't wanna be torn
Don't wanna be torn (don't wanna be)
Don't wanna be torn
Don't wanna be torn (You wanna be torn)
Don't wanna be torn (Don't wanna be)
Don't wanna be torn (Don't wanna be)
Maybe it's the things I say "And these walls I'm building now "I thought you said it was easy "Don't wanna be torn "No one made me have to choose between "Now it all feels like I'm five "I thought you said it was easy Don't wanna be torn" "Why is all this so confusing "The tears I'm cryin now "I thought you said it was easy (easy) "Don't wanna be torn (don't wanna be) "Don't wanna be torn (You wanna be torn)

Don't wanna be torn (You wanna be torn)
Don't wanna be torn (Don't wanna be)
Don't wanna be torn (Don't wanna be
Once I finish singing I went back to my thoughts of this difficult decision of mine.
"Oh, what am I going to do?" I ask me in sorrow and me then look down at my tummy and started talking to my soon-to-be baby. "I know it's not your fault. You're just so innocent and tiny to understand what I'm going through. It kills me to think that you'll be think of a bastard or a mistake. To be the fruit of 2 people who are share a doomed forbidden love.
"But no matter what happens, I promise you that I won't let anything happen to you. Even if I have to become a single mother to protect you and your father, I'll take the risk. Because you and your father are the most wonderful and beautiful people in my life" I smile, stroking my flat tummy where I can feel my baby growing inside me.
"Juliet?" I heard a familiar velvet voice behind me.
I turn and I saw him "What are you doing here?" I turn away from him. I couldn't bare look at him in the eyes in this situation.
"I could ask you the same question" he says, sitting next to me.
"I heard you went back home with your mum and your family. I'm very happy for you" I said, still refusing to look at him
"Yeah, as much as I love them, I'm not happy"
"Why? You have everything"
"Not everything. I'm missing the love of my life" he confesses and it made my heart ache.
"Gnomeo, please, don't..." I whine, sadly.
"Juliet, I can't stand it being this apart from you, even if it by a fence"
"You do?"
"Yes, you thought I didn't figure it out?" "You're afraid for my safety"
"Oh, yeah, that's it"
"You don't have to do that because nothing is going to happen to me"
"You don't know that. You don't know what my Dad is capable of doing to you and the others"
"Other? What do you mean of others?" he looked at me, suspiciously and it made me nervous.
I thought fast "Um... by others I mean your family" I said, trying to hide the real truth.
"I don't care. I want you"
Suddenly, he made the unexpected move to pin me down the ground and started kissing me really fast. I was shock at first with intentions to push him off me but I just missed him so much I just let him kiss me as I kissed him back. but he was soon get out of hand when he started kissing my neck really hard which hurt a little and it made me snap back to reality.
"Gnomeo, NO! This isn't right!" I yelled, pushing him off, trembling in place
"Juliet, what's wrong! You and I are free to do what we want" he says, trying to calm me down.
"No, you need to understand that right now I'm not sure if I can or if I should" I said, shakily.
"No, I know you can and you should! You're mine, Juliet!" he pulls me back in his arms.
"Gnomeo, as much as I love you, we can't be together" I push him off me and started walking away from him
"Why are you doing this to me? With this sudden distance? Please, tell me" he said and I stop.
I turn to face him "Gnomeo, all I can tell you that you have to stay away from me now more than ever. I'm sorry" I turn to leave but once again, he pulled me back in his arms.
"No, I won't risk losing you" he whispers, stroking my cheek.
My heart was slowly breaking into pieces. I love him more than my life but something ever to happen to him, I would die. "Gnomeo, please, let me go" I l said, trying to leave his embrace.
But he wouldn't let me go "No, I won't. You're mine, Juliet" he pulls me back, making me a little angry
"GNOMEO, LET ME GO!" I snap at him pulling my arm back. But I didn't know that my scream was a big mistake.
"GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF HER!" my Dad came from out of nowhere and whacks Gnomeo with his stick, HARD.
I was truly horrified "DAD, NO!" I screamed.
"Are you alright? Did he hurt you?" Dad asked me, trying to comfort me but I push him away, angrily.
"More like you hurt him!" I scream in his face and race to Gnomeo's side "Are you ok?" I place my hands on my face, noticing blood coming out of the corner of his mouth and worried me more about him. As I cradled him in my arms, he nods in respond and it gave me relief and I kissed him, not caring my Dada there watching us with a disgusted look on his face.
"Get away from him!" Dad screamed, trying to pull me away from Gnomeo
But I didn't listen, on the contrary, I held Gnomeo tighter in my arms "I won't let you hurt him. Dad! I love him and there's nothing you can't do about how I feel about him!" I growl.
"You are coming with me, and I will make sure that you never escape again! He yelled, angrily as he tightens his grip on my arm and pulled me away from my love.
"NO! LET ME GO! I screamed again. As I was being dragged away, I look back at Gnomeo on the ground, groaning in pain. "NO! NO! GNOMEO! PLEASE, FORGIVE ME! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE WITH MY HEART & SOUL!" I scream at the top of my lungs to him as I struggled by my dad's grip but I lost hope of escaping.
The more I tried to struggle to break free, the more the monster of my father tightens his grip on me. He really crossed the line on this one; I was in so much pain and that I lost the strength to escape as he took me back the Red Garden. I saw the sadness and tears in his eyes and it made my heart break even more. I knew he was suffering as I was, but he's suffering was all because of me because I was pushing me away from him. I didn't want to but it was the only way for him to stay alive. I didn't even had to chance to tell him my secret but what worst time than my Dad butting in like always I guess I'm gonna have to wait for the right moment but who knows what will happen between us until it does, or he might never know.
Well, that's it for now! I got a long car drive (yep, I'm driving) for 7-8 hours straight to the city. I am SUPER NERVOUS ABOUT THIS! SO, PLEASE, WISH ME LUCH, GUYS! I'LL NEED IT A LOT!
Anyways, I have to go finish packing before mi mama gets on my nerves even more! But I promise once I get back which will be on jueves (Thursday) I'll have another chapter of my handyman story (OOPSM RUINED THE SURPRISE! *smack myself silly* *laughs* I LOVE YOU GUYS MUCHO MUCHO!
