'Tis horrible! Why is life so cruel? What god planed to take my
dearest friend and my dearest cousin away from me at the same time?
T'was just last eve that the tragedy occurred. Mercutio, oh dear Mercutio!, were complaining about the heat. I said we should leave, the Capulets would surly have hot tempers today and I did not want to be involved in a fight. Yet Mercutio didn't listen, he never does! Instead he went on about how I was the one who would start the fight.
All too soon Tybalt , Pertuchio and other Capulets appeared. Tybalt and Mercutio began to squabble and I insisted that we go to a private place if they wished to fight, yet they listened not. Mercutio insisted that men's eyes were made to look on a fight and he would not move.
Before they came to blows Romeo entered. Tybalt tried to start a fight, but Romeo refused. Mercutio though, oh damn his temper, refused to accept defeat that easily. He fought with Tybalt, and was wining, when Romeo ran between them. Foul villain Tybalt stabbed Mercutio under my cousin's arm and ran.
Dear Mercutio lived only long enough to curse both the Montagues and the Capulets and move into a building. Romeo stayed outside and only I was with Mercutio for his death. He told me of his life, how he had hoped to find love before he died and now never would. He apologized for ignoring my warning and said that he didn't blame me for his death. I sat beside him holding his body before venturing out to tell Romeo.
Just as I spoke those horrid words Tybalt returned. I wanted not to fight him, I had seen too much bloodshed today. Romeo instead fought to avenge Mercutio. T'was a fast fight, Tybalt already worn from killing Mercutio, and Tybalt fell, dead. I heard citizens come and yelled at Romeo to run. If he had been found over the dead body of Tybalt it was death for him for sure.
No sooner had Romeo left than did the Capulets, Prince and mine own family arrive. Lady Capulet wanted Romeo's blood, even after I told of how Tybalt had killed dear Mercutio. The Prince forgave Romeo and my heart soared for a second, before plummeting when he talked of Romeo's banishment. While I was joyful that Romeo would live, his banishment was horrible. Now I can no longer see him. I have lost my best friend and best cousin in one day. Now neither is here to turn to, neither to talk with, neither to joke with. Both are gone. The only consolation is that Romeo may, in the distant future, return to Verona to be with us once again.
