Chapter 27 PART B – This is it.

Juliet POV

I walked through the already open front door to see the party was already in full swing. The fact that we were forced to combine the two parties didn't seem to dampen anybody's party mood. The whole crowd had naturally split into two sections, one for each school and seemed to have created their own individual parties. The Riverdale students were mostly inside the house, and the Compton students in the garden, with both sides heading toward the kitchen for the drinks.

I tried to keep a look out for Romeo but before I could get further than the living room Paul tapped me on the shoulder.

"Hey Juliet, can we talk?" he said with a serious look on his face.

I had another quick glance around for Romeo but when I couldn't see him, nodded at Paul to say what he wanted to say. Considering we were about to spend a lot of time together I didn't have the energy to start it off in a fight all because I didn't talk to him tonight. He was probably all ready to gloat and makes jokes about the next month.

"So my Mom told me about the trip," he said with a weird look on his face.

"Yep, I bet you're all sorts of pleased about that one," I said sarcastically.

"Juliet look, you're not the only one in a sticky situation ok, my parents are pushing me just as much as yours are!"

"You haven't exactly seemed too upset," I said with my arms crossed.

"Yeah, they were pushing me to go out with you, and you weren't interested so i was just having some fun with the chase," he said shrugging. "But now it's getting more serious and I realised they're really expecting us to go through with this."

"You just figured that out?" I said, still not fully trusting his new attitude.

"Oh common, think about it, it was fun for now but moving forward this quickly, neither of us are ready for that."

I stopped for the first time and gave Paul the benefit of the doubt that maybe he was under just as much pressure as me, and it occurred to me, what teenage boy would want to head out to college practically married to someone?

"So what do we do?" I asked him, hoping he would have some sort of idea, considering I clearly didn't.

"What can we do?" he said looking defeated. "I don't know about your parents, but mine threatened to cut me off, and I can't do that."

I knew from the look on his face that it wasn't a spoilt side of Paul saying that because he wanted to stay rich but a practical side of him looking at the fact that he would have no way to support himself and have nowhere to live. Normally I wouldn't be stupid enough to believe Paul had changed that quickly but something in his change of attitude made me believe the announcement of the trip had put things into perspective for him.

"Mine implied pretty much the same," I said. My parents didn't outright say they would cut me off, but they didn't give me any other option but to go ahead with Paul and Yale.

"So I say we just make the most of the situation and make it comfortable enough for both of us," he said. "How about we start off as friends and take this slow and see what happens?"

I knew I wouldn't be able promise him anymore than friends, because I had Romeo and he was the one I wanted to be with. But being friends and being able to be civil to each other for now would make the trip a lot easier.

"Friends." I said putting out my hand. Paul smiled softly and shook it.

"So I'll see you bright and early tomorrow?" he said rolling his eyes.

"Sure," I said feeling a bit better about the whole situation.

Out of the corner of my eye I noticed the amount of people in the room getting less and less. I fully turned around to see people rushing out the room into the back yard.

"What's going on?" I asked Paul, trying to see over the top of people.

"I have no idea. Let's go see," he said starting to follow the crowd.

When we got further into the garden I heard a faint chant of 'Timmy' and I'm sure I heard 'Romeo' and few times too. I instantly pushed my way through the people until I was at the front and saw Timmy and Romeo in the middle of a one on one basketball game in Romeo's home basketball court. Romeo pushed the ball out Timmy's hands, jerking him in the process. The illegal move just seemed to excite the crowd more. Timmy rushed forward to recapture the ball, but tripping Romeo to get it. Romeo fell to the floor and Timmy made the basket. People on the Riverdale team rushed out in cheers. Romeo got up from the floor and wiped the blood off his nose. I felt physically sick seeing Romeo injured and wanted to interrupt the game to check he was ok and yell at Timmy. Romeo bounced back quickly though and it wasn't long before he made his own basket.

The game must have gone on about five minutes, but it felt like forever to watch the two of them inflict minor injuries onto each other in their attempts to try and win the game. The game didn't seem to enforce too many rules. From somewhere on my left I recognised Andy yell that the next point would mark the winner, and before I could breathe Romeo threw the ball through the air and it balanced on the ring for a few seconds while everyone went silent and held their breath.

The ball went in and all the Compton students cheered, while all the Riverdale students argued it was an illegal point and now felt like pointing out there were rules.

The crowd quickly dispersed and everybody went back to enjoying the party. I didn't know who to console first, but in the end I chose Romeo, who was now on his own, a rare moment. He still looked ecstatic as he drank out of a bottle of water.

As soon as he saw me approaching him, his face lit up and he picked me up in a hug. The garden was too full of people for anybody to notice the students on conflicting sides embracing. He held onto my hand and pulled me into an area near the trees which was a little quieter and we were more hidden in the shade. Just seeing his face made my day brighter.

"Did you see that! I totally beat his ass!" he said still on a high. He saw me raise an eyebrow.

"Didn't think the game got a little too rough?" I said.

"Sorry Lee, but it came both ways," he said and I knew it was true. "I have been trying to find you all day!" he said before kissing me. " I missed you!"

"I missed you too," I told him, clearly noting his tact to change the subject. "My Mom knows about us." I blurted out.

He froze and his face fell. "What?"

"Not everything, but she knows we've been spending time together. A friend of hers saw us together."

"What did you tell her?" he asked concerned. For him, he was never worried about his parents finding out like me, just his friends.

"I couldn't say anything, someone else saw us a few weeks ago, so she knows it wasn't a one off. But now they're kind of sending me on a trip. For a month and a bit." I said not knowing how else to phrase it.

Romeo looked confused. "A trip?"

"They think I should spend more time with Paul," I said quickly.

"What!" he said, the annoyance clearly visible in his eyes. "There is no way you're spending a whole month with Paul Prince!" he said the jealous side of him showing. In a way I was slightly pleased at his discomfort of another guy around me.

"I know you don't like it, neither do I but Timmy will be there, and you know he won't let anything happen."

As much as he didn't want to admit it, I would be safe from any guys with Timmy around.

"Timmy is definitely going?" he asked and I nodded.

"And you don't really have a choice in this?"

" I wish I did," I said sighing.

After a second he said, "Ok then, I trust you, it will be ok."

I smiled and leaned in to kiss him, feeling completely safe in his arms, feeling as though I had never left from this morning.

"Romeo? Where are you man?" we heard someone call from the distance.

"I guess we better get back," I said.

"Do we have to?" Romeo said planting butterfly kisses on my face, it was clear neither of us wanted to go back to reality yet.

"Well either we go or they find us here," I said holding his hand and reluctantly going back toward the party. For the first time today I felt my spirits lift and found myself in a happier mood.

We held hands until we got the middle of the garden where most the people now were, including many Riverdale students from inside. "So, can I get you a drink?" Romeo asked.

"Sure," I said, savouring the moment and pretending that we were a normal couple at a school party together.

Romeo walked over to the kitchen and I lingered with the rest of the crowd, waiting for him to come back.

"Yeah it is great to have my baby back, It's like me and Romeo were never apart! Last night after the game we spent the whole night together, it was just magical" I heard an unmistakeable voice say.

I turned around and saw Rose in the centre of four other girls. The first thing that caught my eye was the necklace she was wearing, which I recognised as a gift from Timmy when they first started going out. She had some nerve still going around wearing it.

I snorted out loud, knowing Romeo was with me last night. It was pathetic how she had invented a whole relationship with Romeo out of a figment of her imagination.

I must have made myself heard because Rose flipped around. "Do you have a problem?" she asked with a sneer.

"No, I just think you're full of crap." I said stating the facts. I was surprised at myself for my boldness but could stop myself from saying it.

Timmy POV

"The way he got that last point, was out of order! He didn't actually win!" Andy said trying to make me feel better.

"Guys, can you please stop, Romeo won fair and square. I would really appreciate it if we could talk about something else," I said not wanting to dwell on the fact that I had just lost out on the game I had been waiting for, for a very long time. Daniel silently poured me an unidentified liquid into a shot glass and I took it graciously.

"We need a rematch," Nala said.

"No we don't, I'm fine about it. He won, end of story. Let's just leave it alone," I said again.

Lily sighed, and looked at me suspiciously. "If you're sure..."

"I am," I said gesturing for Daniel to pass me the whole bottle. Surprisingly I wasn't upset that I had lost the game, I just felt numb and something told me even if I won I wouldn't have been feeling satisfied.

"Why is Jules with Rose?" Nala said to herself looking into the distance. I turned around and saw Jules surrounded by Rose and her friends. Nala started walking over, and I followed with everyone else to see if she needed any help. As we walked closer, and few people were attracted by the conversation going on. I could see Juliet was uncomfortable by it all, she never was one for confrontation. I went and stood beside her for moral support, and the rest of our friends gathered around. Without looking at me she reached out and squeezed my arm, which was her message to tell me she was grateful for us coming over.

Rose was wearing a skin tight strapless black dress with bright red high heels, but what stood out to me the most was the necklace she was wearing. It consisted of an intricate diamond rose on a silver chain, which I had given to her on one of our anniversaries. At the time I thought it represented her delicateness and innocence perfectly but now I know I was wrong.

"Oh do you now? What exactly would you know about a relationship?" Rose said in a condensing tone and I heard a few people snicker around her.

I saw Romeo walk up to the centre of the crowd and stand by Rose, confusion written all over his face. He brought over two glasses and Rose took one without once breaking contact. A few months ago, seeing Rose and Romeo together would have irritated me, even all this time after me and Rose broke up, but now as far as I was concerned he could have her, they were perfect for one another.

"I know enough," Jules said in a blasé tone. From the outside it would look like Juliet was completely unbothered by Rose's comment but I could tell she was uncomfortable. I had no idea what started their conversation but I knew if it came to it, Jules would be able to handle herself.

"Oh you are so naïve," Rose snickered. "You're talking about your little relationship with Romeo?"

Everywhere around us people gasped and soft mumbles could be heard, but people still kept quiet, not to miss anymore drama. I could not believe Rose had resorted to lying for entertainment now too. Nobody would ever believe Juliet would have a 'little relationship' with Romeo. I felt like laughing at the thought. Juliet would never pull anything like that , but even if she did there was no way she would be able to keep it from everybody.

"You have no idea what you're talking about," I said, feeling like I needed to put Rose in her place, especially since Juliet wasn't saying anything to defend herself. "Tell her Jules!"

Juliet looked frozen in her spot, obviously from the ridiculous accusation. Romeo just looked angry, he was probably mad at Rose for saying something so stupid.

"O-M-G! You did, didn't you! That is so sweet, I bet it never even crossed your mind that the whole thing was a bet!" Rose said grinning.

Juliet's blank look disappeared and she looked up sharply. I saw uncertainty in her eyes and I wanted her to say something and tell everyone Rose was talking rubbish. I was also very confused now; I had no idea what Rose was talking about, let alone a bet?

"That's enough," Romeo said firmly. He held onto Rose's arm and began to tug her away, the contents of her glass sloshing around.

Rose was undeterred, "It was hilarious, Romeo would go out with you in the day then we would all get together and laugh about it. Especially after you gave him your virginity!"

Now it was my turn to freeze as I fully understood the terms of the 'bet' Rose was talking about. Was she talking about Juliet? Was she saying Juliet gave Romeo her virginity, meaning she was accusing Juliet of sleeping with Romeo? Now this was getting out of hand.

"What the hell is she talking about," Nala asked confused. She took one look at Juliet's face and realisation hit hers. "This is what you've been keeping from me," she mumbled.

"No! She has to be lying, Juliet wouldn't do that," I said. A small part of me, in the back of my mind believed Rose, and I was trying to convince myself.

I looked over at Juliet who was too busy staring at Romeo with hurt in her eyes, I saw her eyes fill with tears and that was when my worst nightmare was confirmed. I knew in that moment that Rose was telling the truth and Romeo and Juliet had been together. All of this time she had been lying to me when I had been trying to protect her. All of those time when she had left somewhere early or looked suspicious when hanging up the phone. I just assumed she was still being secretive about her 'secret boyfriend' but now I knew Romeo was it. I was stuck between being mad at Romeo for using my sister in a bet, and hurting her, let alone sleeping with her, and being mad at Juliet for being stupid enough to get herself into the situation in the first place, and believing all of Romeo's crap.

Juliet tried to take a step forward but I could tell she was feeling dizzy as she began to fall. Romeo reached out to steady her, but Daniel got there first. I felt the anger rise in me to see that asshole about to touch her, even after his whole bet had been revealed. It was his plan all along.

Juliet shrugged Daniel off and ran through everybody. Before I could do anything, Romeo ran after her, and the crowd of people exploded into conversation about what had just happened. I ran into the living room to get Romeo away from her, but couldn't see them anywhere.

Juliet POV

"Get the hell away from me!" I yelled, pushing Romeo's hand off my arm.

In the back of my mind, I always knew this was too good to be true, but I had just ignored all the signs. I should have known from the first day that Romeo approached me on the beach that he had a motive, why go to all the effort otherwise. I cursed myself for not asking more questions the day I was sure Ben had seen us on the beach but Romeo had changed the subject. But what hurt the most was that their little plan had fully worked. I had completely fallen in love with Romeo, or at the least Romeo he pretended to be. Last night, a memory that filled me with happiness now filled me with dread and I felt sick at what I had done. Unfortunately it would be a memory I would never be able to forget.

I didn't believe any of the words coming out of Rose's mouth, especially since I had just heard her lying about how she was with Romeo last night. But the comment about losing my virginity really hit home, how else would Rose know about that otherwise?

"Just listen to me!" Romeo called after me as I tried to locate my car, but the fact that my vision was blurred by tears didn't help. "Don't listen to Rose! It was all real for me, I care about you-"

"Oh, so you didn't have enough fun the first time around, you want to string me along even more so its funnier how I fell for it a second time?" I said weakly, stopping in my tracks. I felt broken and I'm sure it came through in my tone and voice.

"No! Lee, you need to let me explain, I Lo—" he started.

"Don't!" I stopped him putting my hand over his mouth. I knew it would completely break me further to hear him tell me he loved me again. "Don't you dare," I whispered. "And my name is Juliet not Lee"

Oh he really was good at acting! He even made it look like he was pained by my comment telling him to use my full name! but I refused to be sucked in again, especially now I knew from all the times we had spent together how good at pretending he really was. "But, it's true!"

I childishly covered my ears, knowing it wouldn't actually block him out but the last thing I wanted to do was hear him tell me how pathetic I am and how fun it was for him.

"Please, Lee, just listen to me," he said pathetically. If anything his determination to not let up even after his whole plan had been outed in front of two student bodies.

" I cannot believe you let me sleep with you, even after you knew how much it meant to me! Even if it was all just a big joke, you didn't have that much decency? I just need to know one thing. Was I a bet?" I asked, begging him with my eyes to tell me the truth.

"Lee, It's not—" he started

"Was I a bet, Yes or no?"

"Yes, it was at first but it's not now!" he said.

"That's all I need to know," I said, about to walk away for the final time, not bothering to wipe the tears. In the last two days I think I have cried more than I have ever cried in my entire life. I was surprised I even had any more tears left. "Don't ever talk to me again."

Romeo looked to me with sad eyes and I forced myself not to fall into the trap. He made to speak, but before he could I saw Timmy run out of the house, with Andy, Daniel and the girls hot on his heels.

Timmy walked up to us, and didn't even glance my way before he punched Romeo straight in the face. Romeo staggered backward surprised, and before he could recover Timmy hit him again. I heard Nala shriek as Andy attempted to pull Timmy away. Romeo punched Timmy in the gut, and Timmy hit the floor.

It was all too much in the space of five minutes for me, and I began to feel dizzy again. Ellie ran up to me and took my hand. "Common sweetie, let's get you out of here," she said leading me away.
