IMPORTANT: The song used in this chapter is called "Love Story" by: Taylor Swift. To get the full effect of this chapter I recommend listening to it while reading.

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony of summer air
See the lights,
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know

The French doors opened, revealing a stunning blond beauty. "Introducing Ms. Juliet!" the doorman called out to the crowd, a waiting at the end of the staircase. The girl slowly descended the staircase. Her manicured fingers wrapped around the banister, the gold ring on her index finger glimmering in the florescent lights. The crowd stared at her in awe.

Her beauty was surreal. Her smooth, silky hair had been placed piece by piece into an up do, a few wisps of hair falling into her face. A gold, diamond in-crusted hair band placed in her hair.

Her dress was breathtaking; the top piece was corset like. (picture in profile) A crème color, it tightened to her every curve, showing off her tiny waist. Jewels and thread were sewn into the corset, in the shapes of flowers; making it's way up her chest. Her shoulders were bare as the sleeves fell to the sides of them. The skirt of the dress was layered, a slit going down the middle. A darker crème underneath with a lighter color on top.

She glided down the staircase and finally made it to the crowd. Her prince charming a waiting her. "Romeo" she smirked towards him. Her light pink lips shaping into that smile of hers. "Juliet" he bowed, while taking his hand in hers placing a light kiss on her soft, delicate skin.

It was the annual masquerade ball, Tracey always threw once a year. 'Hannah' and Nick had gone as Romeo and Juliet. Joe and AJ had gone as Rose and Jack from 'the Titanic' and Selena and Kevin had gone as Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy from 'Pride & Prejudice'. It was a night of the stars, Oliver and Lily weren't allowed to come.

That you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

"May I have this dance?" Romeo bowed in front of Juliet. She blushed, touched her lightly tinted cheeks, then her gold mask and nodded, curtsying. He slid his hand into hers, turning her around slowly, causing her skirt to twirl. Once she spun back to face him, he pulled her closer to him; placing his hand on her waist. Juliet's piercing blue eyes landed on Romeo's lips, then looked back up into his deep brown orbs. They swayed, she twirled, he dipped her, they whispered sweet nothings into each others ears.

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby, just say yes

"You look stunning" he whispered into her ear, causing chills to go down her spine. Juliet brought her hand up to Romeo's mask and gently touched his it. She smiled at him, beginning to remove his black mask.

"Haaannaaahhh!" She heard Tracey's nasally voice call her name. She froze in her place, her hand still on Romeo's mask, she pulled away and turned around.

"Hello lady Tracey!" Juliet curtsied.

"Lady … Juliet?" Tracey tried.

She nodded her head, smiling. They went all out for these things. The ballroom they were currently dancing in, looked breathless. Gold curtains draping over the windows, allowing the moonlight to shine in. The chandelier swaying from the ceiling. The painted pictures on the ceiling of angels plucking harps, it all made her feel amazing.

"Romeo" Tracey smiled.

"Tracey?" he tried.

"I decided to come as myself, if you're wondering. I'm a part of history so why not go as me?" she laughed. The sound making "Juliet" cringe.

"Excuse us…" Romeo smiled, politely, "we need some fresh air"

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they know
So close your eyes
Let's keep this town for a little while
Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
And I was begging you please don't go and I said

Juliet held out a lantern in front of them as they walked the back gardens. White Christmas lights had been hung up outside, lighting the walkways. Her arm was laced through his and the water fountain on their right side was trickling water. He stopped them abruptly, causing her to turn to him; confused.

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

He placed his arm on her shoulder, sliding it up her neck and to her cheek; caressing it. "What's wrong?" she knitted her perfectly plucked eyebrows together. He slowly leaned in, resting his forehead upon hers. He stared into her gorgeous blue eyes and knew he was making the right decision. "I love you" he whispered, placing a light peck on her soft lips. He pulled away slowly, resting his forehead upon hers once again. Her eyes remained closed, a small smile plastered across her face. "I love you too" she whispered so softly it was barely audible.

Her eyelids began to flutter open, her eyelashes brushing against her skin. The light gold eye shadow on her eyelids shimmered in the lantern light. "You've been distant lately" she whispered once again, barely audible. She held her gaze on the water fountain, not daring to look into his eyes; afraid she'd see something different.

"Only to become closer to you" He slid his index finger under her chin, tilting her head in his direction; causing her to look at him. "I don't understand" she shook her head lightly.

Romeo save me, they're tryin' to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real,
Don't be afraid
We'll make it out of looseness
It's a love story baby, just say yes, oh,

"I'll tell you another time…" he smiled, brushing his lips against hers. "Another time..?" she looked confused causing his smile to widen. "Another time" he confirmed.

"I've been waiting for you, you know" she ran her hand through his curls. "You've been waiting for me?" he tilted his head, now the one confused.

"Yes. I've been waiting for you to save me from my thoughts…" she blushed, the color on her cheeks reddening, "you know it's never safe for me and my thoughts to be alone."

I got time to waiting
Wondering if you would ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts to town I said

"I've just had a few things to take care of my dear, Juliet"

A warm breeze blew by, causing the vanilla scent of her skin to fly up into his nose. His nostrils began to flair, loving the smell of her.

"Well, Romeo…please don't leave me alone, ever again" she insisted, twirling one of his curls around her finger.

He shook his head, "Of course Juliet" his lips curving into a smile.

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He fells to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said

Marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all the reason for
I talk to your dad go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

"I have something for you …" he whispered into her ear, his hot breath on her neck. He pulled back, and took something out of his attire's pocket. It shimmered in the light. Her breath caught in her throat.

"A promise" he smiled, sliding it onto her finger. The same finger that the gold ring rested upon. The gold ring symbolizing their love for each other and the new ring symbolizing their promise to each other. A tear slid down her porcelain skin, he brushed it away with the pad of his thumb.

"A promise" she confirmed. The two leaning in for a kiss, connecting their lips another time that night.

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Cause we were both young when I first saw you

This story was in serious need of some good Niley. Did I succeed? I really liked this chapter, I hope you did too.
