~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It had been two months since Sophie and Juiliette had been to the doctors. And, not exactly as the doctor said, the results did come through; just five weeks after the blood tests were taken.
~*~*~A week ago~*~*~
Juiliette was once again sat on the front porch, writing in that scrapbook, which all of her friends were still trying to find out what it actually was. Nearby Romeo was preening himself, licking his paws and then rubbing them on his smoky-grey, silk coat.
Juiliette heard a distant voice calling her name, she look about her to come face to face with nothing, making her ignore what she had heard moments ago and returning her brain to it's previous thoughts, Ace.
She sighed dreamily, Ace Merrill, their relationship was perfect. They were at the middle stage, the intense stage. They'd already been through the first stage, the one that's full of absent minded flirting, compliments and dates.
The middle was better, they both knew it, the middle stage was the unofficial stage, technically you're a couple, people think of you as a couple, instead of Juiliette or Ace, they had become Juiliette and Ace, but at the same time you weren't a couple because you hadn't said those three little words: I love you.
When they would say those words to each other, if they ever did, they'd be pushed into the last stage of a relationship, complete and utter bliss. While you're in the last stage you feel loved when you wake up in the morning and you know someone loves you when you go to sleep at night. You have someone to count on no matter what the stakes, you have someone to comfort you and someone to make you laugh.
Of course, the third stage isn't exactly the last stage, marriage is, but they were teenagers, they had their whole life ahead of them, they didn't have marriage on their minds, not yet.
The same voice that had called her name, called her again, thus dragging her from her thoughts, her wonderful thoughts of Ace. She sighed. She'd get over it.
She looked to her right, nothing.
She looked to her left, saw the heat wave, and running on the heat wave were two girls, heading straight towards Juiliette.
She recognised the two girls as they came closer; it was Sophie and Aurora.
The three girls had grown closer, unexpectedly closer, they were three different people with only one thing in common: their boyfriends were Cobras.
Juiliette, the new girl, that even Ace had trouble figuring out, most of the times she'd be happy and flirtatious around him, and then there were those times were she was moping around Castle rock, complaining how much she hated her life. Even less often she'd freak out like she did at the lagoon, when she'd accused him of trying something that he would never do to her, she wouldn't freak out at the same things, she'd just explode every now and again. Ace thought it must girl hormones and periods and stuff.
Sophie, the rebel, the tough chick that took nothing from nobody, not even her parents, if they tried to punish her, you could be more than a hundred percent sure she'd tell them where to cram it. Sophie hardly ever let her sensitive side see the outside world, mainly because she'd had a difficult life, one that had taught her to be strong and stand up for her beliefs. On occasion she had displayed her sensitive side to Eyeball, but the girl was in love with him, so she didn't really care if he thought less of her, and there was the time she had cried in front of Juiliette, a few hours after that moment she had told Juiliette not to tell a single soul or she'd 'bust a cap in your ass'.
Aurora, the ditzy air-head that often irritated people like one of those flies, the one's that when you hit them it goes silent, the annoying buzzing - gone - and then a few minutes later it starts again, making you realise you never actually hit it, its just playing a trick on you to enrage you even more. She was the baby of the bunch, the only one still attending school, but she'd be leaving in a month, only then would they treat her with more respect. Not that they didn't respect Aurora already, it was just she was a cheerleader, she used to be popular, really popular, but she gave it up when she met Billy. She was a girlfriend similar to a rash, one that never left you alone.
Juiliette had stood up to greet the two girls but instead of returning her 'hello' they laughed and hugged her.
Sophie released Juiliette and shoved a piece of white paper in her face, one that had printed writing on it, "I'm pregnant!" She cried with joy.
"Shit no," Juiliette said unbelievingly as she swiped the piece of paper that Sophie had dangled in her face. It confirmed that Sophie was indeed, pregnant.
"Shit yes!" Aurora said as she twirled herself gracefully in circles, her beige skirt flapping around her.
"Oh my god! You're pregnant!" Juiliette screamed as she, Sophie and Aurora began to dance and jump together in a small circle, laughing.
Then realisation hit Sophie and Juiliette like a baseball bat, they were acting like giddy cheerleaders, they slowed down the pace and looked at each other with shock, then looking at Aurora who was still bouncing around, they laughed and Sophie smacked her lightly on the arm and said, "knock it off."
Aurora, just as the other two girls had, slowed down the pace of her bouncing, until she came to an abrupt stop. "Have you told Eyeball yet?" Asked Juiliette.
"No, that's why we need your help." Sophie said, smiling angelically.
"What's it got to do with me?" Questioned Juiliette, as she looked at Aurora, she was also smiling angelically.
"The hoods are all over at Eyeball's house, and they won't leave," Aurora explained.
"And because you go out with Ace, the leader." Sophie explained further.
"It means you can ask him to ask them to leave." Said Aurora, still smiling widely.
"What makes you think he'll listen to me?" Enquired Juiliette
"He just will. Okay?" Said Sophie. "Please, if not for me, for my baby." She continued as she dropped to her knees and hugged Juiliette's waist.
Aurora copied Sophie, dropped to her knees and hugged Juiliette's waist, she cried, "For the baby!"
The two girls pretended to sob, wailing quiet loudly.
Juiliette who hated having attention fixated on her, agreed to what the girls had asked of her, but first she took in her scrap book and placed it on her desk in her pink bedroom.
The three girls walked along the pathway and to the Chamber's residence, beer bottles laid in the grass, some still holding the bold liquid, some empty, and some it tiny little piece's spread across the lawn. The light from the sun shone down on the pieces of grass, making them shine majestically like rare jewels, but the three girls avoided the bad luck that would be standing on one of the broken shards.
Sophie and Aurora had told Juiliette just to get Ace out of the house, the boys were watching television, so it could prove to be a difficult task. Once they had Ace out, Juiliette would ask him to get the rest of them out of the house except for Eyeball.
"Wouldn't be easier for us to just get Eyeball out of the house?" Juiliette asked.
"No, this is more fun," said Aurora gleefully.
~*~*~*~*~First Attempt~*~*~*~*~
Juiliette walked up to the house, onto the porch, which was hidden by many stubbed out cigarettes, and the odd patch of ashes, the smell of smoke and alcohol lingered around the porch.
The smell became stronger as Juiliette entered the house, she walked in and shut the dorr behind her, she was standing in the hall, in front of her were some stairs, to the right of them at the back of the small hallway was a door that led to the dining room, to her right was the kitchen, and to her left was the lounge.
Television blaring, the Cobra's sprawled about on the couches and chairs, a couple of them sat on the floor. Beer bottles on the floor, Juiliette gently nudged them to the side with her feet as she walked into the room, the hollow clank made some of the Cobras look in her direction.
Smoke from the cigarettes they were smoking rose to the ceiling, making Juiliette feel suffocated, she waved her hand in front of her face trying to shoo away some of the smoke that was getting near her eyes.
"Hey, Avalon, welcome to my humble abode." Greeted Eyeball.
Juiliette continued to wave smoke away from her face, she even coughed slightly to show how much the smoke was making her feel.
Ace, who's head had turned away from the television set when he had heard Eyeball say 'Avalon', was looking at Juiliette, getting a little worried because her eye's looked red and she was coughing.
"You okay babe?" He asked.
"Yeah," she said as she coughed, Hell no, I'm not okay, the smoke's making me ill you asshole, "I need to talk to you."
"No can do babe, we're in the lead by seven points, I can't leave at an intense moment like this."
"Yeah, Avalon, you're going to have to wait for a few minutes." Said Eyeball, who had know turned his attention back to the screen.
"How long?" Asked Juiliette, her eyes beginning to water.
"Twenty minutes give or take."
Juiliette walked out of the house, her sinuses finally screaming code red.
~*~*~*~*~Second Attempt~*~*~*~*~
Juiliette haad unbuttoned the top few button's on her blouse. Sophie and Aurora had sent her back in after telling her that seduction was the best way to do it.
She was standing in the same position as before, in the doorway to the lounge, the Cobra's still watching television.
"Ace?" She asked.
"Yeah." He answered.
"I really need you right now."
"Why?"
"I have something that I want to show you."
Ace, and most of the Cobra's attention had torn away from the screen and to Juiliette who was smiling sexily at Ace, leaning against the wall, buttons undone, hair looking wild, staring at him intensely.
"What do you want to show me?" He asked smiling.
"It's in my bedroom."
"Really?" Ace asked curiously.
Juiliette moaned lightly and nodded her head; she walked backwards through the lounge and to the hall, gesturing with one finger for him to follow.
Ace, hypnotized not only by the way Juiliette was looking at him, but the way she was acting that also had him mesmerized, walked after her (the Cobras howling and catcalling after him, then quickly turning their attention back to the television) and out onto the porch were Juiliette was buttoning the buttons.
Aurora and Sophie were standing with Juiliette, Ace walked down the steps, not sure what was happening or what was about to happen.
When Juiliette felt less smutty (no, it isn't a spelling mistake, I mean smutty, not slutty (they kind of mean they same thing anyway)) she walked up to Ace, took his hand and pulled him with her as she walked to the other side of the house.
"What was it that you wanted to show me?" Asked Ace as he wrapped his arms around Juiliette's small waist.
"Get off me you, chauvinistic pig." Juiliette said angrily as she pushed Ace away from her. She wiped her eyes that still stung from the smoke, her lungs felt clogged, she felt suffocated, she breathed deeply and heavily, wanting to get of the feeling of being trapped.
"Are you okay?" Ace asked generally concerned as he saw Juiliette's blood shot eye's seem to panic.
"Do I look okay?" Choked out Juiliette as she sat down, trying to calm the betting of her heart."
"No." Said Ace, feeling slightly ashamed for ignoring her behaviour from earlier on.
"Well then, I'm not okay."
Ace knelt down and looked at her, her chest was heaving, the white of her eyes were tinted pink, they were still watering, her mouth was open, jaw dropping s she took in deep breaths. The noises that were coming from her throat made Ace feel even more ashamed, the noises that were deep, made her sound like she was gasping for breath, it did look like she was having difficulty breath.
He held her close and rubbed her back, rocking her back and forth slightly, trying to calm her down.
Soon the rhythm of the deep breathes from her mouth and the warm air coming back out through her nose finished, into what could be classified as normal.
Sophie and Aurora, who had been waiting for ten minutes walked to the side of the house, about to ask what was taking so long, they stopped when they saw the couple sitting on the grass. They decided not to disturbed Ace and Juiliette and felt that they could deal with the Cobra's themselves.
Ace squeezed Juiliette tightly as he checked his watch; they'd been sat there for almost twenty minutes, he decided they should start walking or something because his ass was getting numb.
"Juiliette." He whispered quietly.
No reply came.
"Juiliette." Ace repeated slightly louder as he shook her gently.
Silence cut him like a blade, Juiliette still didn't reply.
~*~*~*~*~Author's notes~*~*~*~*~
I hate cliffhangers to, so I'll update next year. Joking, joking. I'll update soon. But it might not be so soon because I am now rewriting some of the later chapters in 'On The Big Screen, Baby', so it won't have such a crappy ending. I have another romance story that I started for one reason: I was bored as hell. Another story that's kind of thriller/romance/erotic. I have a fantasy/romance that's about soul mates called 'Innocence of the Heart'. I'm teaming up with Sophie and we're writing a story together, but we're still sort of planning it and I'm writing the first chapter, so I have to get that done. And another story, which is more realistic, called 'Life's Quarrels.' I apologize in advance if I don't update for a couple of weeks, please bear with me, I have my last week of school then it's summer holidays so I'll be able to do a lot of writing then. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed this story.
