The grass danced in the wind, swaying side to side, hypnotizing anyone who gazed in the yard. Leaves floated in small tornadoes and the trees leaned this way and that. Juiliette closed her eyes, recalling the phone call she had received earlier that day.
~*~*~Phone Call~*~*~
The phone rang shrilly through the household, "Dawn, go get it!" Juiliette yelled.
"You get it, it's probably lover boy." Dawn retaliated; fortunately their father wasn't home.
Juiliette growled in frustration and jogged down the stairs, she picked up the polished, black handle.
"Hello?" Juiliette asked into the phone.
"Hey, Bunny." The voice said, and she could hear the smile spread across his face.
She held her breathe, only one person called her that, someone she fought she'd left behind back home.
"Jon?" She asked, praying that it wasn't him, just some kind of practical joke.
"The one and only, Bunny."
"Don't call me that." Juiliette said through gritted teeth, hoping he would hear the frustration.
"Why not? It's your name isn't it?" Jon asked, faking confusion.
"It's my old name, my name is now Juiliette."
"What's wrong with Bunny?" He asked, seeming upset that one of his friends had changed their name.
"What's wrong with it? My mother was intoxicated when she came up with that name, I hate it."
"Yeah, but it matches your personality, you know, cute and horny."
Juiliette feeling more than uncomfortable with the last statement, changed the subject, "Why you calling me here anyway? I thought I told you to stop calling me."
"We just got a big load." Jon explained.
"I don't care, I'm off the stuff now."
"Yeah right."
"I am, I've been clean ever since I got here. I wasn't lying when I said a new start, everything is going right for me." Juiliette said, thinking about all the new people in here life.
"Who's the guy?" Jon asked, sighing.
"Who said anything about there being a guy?" Juiliette asked, doing her best to sound surprised.
"There's always a guy, Bunny, every time you've gone away for one of these new starts there's a guy. So who is he?"
"You wouldn't know him."
"So there is a guy?" Jon said, sounding pleased at his new discovery.
"Yes."
"And what lies have you fed this one?"
"Goodbye." Juiliette said, indicating that she was about to hang up.
"Tell him you had an abusive father?"
"My dad's like that and you know it." Juiliette did her best to defend herself.
"He hit you once in your eighteen years of life and that all of a sudden makes him abusive?"
"Shut up."
"What about the one where you become all innocent and tell him you're a virgin? You tell him that one? The classic?"
Juiliette was in tears now, she was so confused, she had lied to Ace, and regretted it, she was just scared. She didn't want him to think she was some slut, the lie that she was a virgin guaranteed that things wouldn't go too fast too soon.
"Because everyone back home knows you're not a virgin, I'm surprised you're family hasn't figured it out yet. I mean, where did they think you went all those late nights? For a quick walk? But I know what you were really doing, cos I was there, right with you, in that alley. Remember?"
"Why are you doing this?" Juiliette choked out through sobs.
"Because people need to know what you're really like. And, I'm coming down to see you."
Juiliette dropped the receiver, he couldn't come here, he'd ruin everything. She couldn't let that happen, she'd leave before he even got here.
"When are you coming here?" She asked, trying to compose herself.
"Soon." And with that, the person that threatened her perfect life hung up.
Juiliette slammed down the phone and ran to Ace's house, preparing to do one of the most painful things she would ever have to do in her entire life. When she knocked on the door no one answered, she waited a couple of minutes and still, no one answered. She sat down on the porch and watched the trees swaying in the wind, waiting for Ace to come home.

*~*~Author's Note~*~*
I apologize now for not updating for so long, I think it's about a month maybe two... I'll go and check. On my god! It's almost two months! About one and a half! I'm so sorry, if any of you want to stone me, please do, I deserve it. SophIe? I had no idea, I swear I'll never nag at you to update again. And if I do I'll get Cal to spank me. Hehe ::cracks whip::
Anyway Juiliette is not as perfect as she seems, haha, didn't see this coming did you? But on another aspect, she couldn't be this vision, it'd just be too unreal, and everybody as flaws (does snort laughing count? it is kind of a turn off, if not - hilarious).
Most of you will probably guess what the big load is of, but I'm not going to say cos I don't want to spoil it for some.
Probably one more chapter left, I could stretch it to two I suppose. Reviews are welcome!
Tootle Pip ye old chums!
