Just another dramatic chapter and a lot of pain going on I know you're all going to like where it's going to be heading next...Enjoy.
Stephanie pov
I was by the blue gate in the main garden walking back and forth thinking and rambling to myself in anger. "How dare she" I said bitterly "How dare she tell me to stay away from gnomeo" I was in anger over juliet threatening me to stay away from the man I loved.
"Who does she think she is telling me I can't see the man who fathers my child" I was angry now. "Gnomeo was mine first and he had my daughter way before she met that little red tramp". "I don't even know what he sees in her anyway?" thinking why gnomeo would ever like her. "She's not evn a blue, gnomeo should really be with me, we're both blues and so is our daughter, not to mention he was mine way before she crawled into his life, he belongs with me and only me" I said louder without realizing it. I was o angry ay juliet and upset at the same time, I just couldn't believe gnomeo would want to be with her and not me and juliet was just so mean and hurtful to me, I started crying a little.
"Stephanie?" I look up and see gnomeo next to me.
"Oh hi gnomeo" I sniffled with a grin
"Are you alright?" He leaned closer to me concerned
"I'm fine" I said through my sobs.
"No you're not, what's wrong? you can tell me" He said sitting closer to me and holding my shoulder like he used to when we were dating.
I smiled at that yet I still cried a little "Well if you really want to know, i'm upset over...juliet" I mumble.
His eyes grew a little big. "Juliet? what happened" He said more concerned for her, which made me angry, but I didn't show it.
"She hates me!" I throw out to him.
"Hates you?,I thought you talked to her?" He questions me
"I did but she bascially threatened me" I whined crying more.
"Threatened you, how?"
"She told me to stay away from you or she'd do something bad to me and joelle" I played with a weak inncoent voice, still crying.
"What! I don't belive she said that, juliet wouldn't do that to anyone!" He jumped up and told me that.
"She said it, I'm serious she did" I tell him.
"I know juliet she's too sweet to threaten anyone" He argued to me.
"You know the sweet side of her but you obviously haven't seen the darkside of her" I tell him.
"She has no darkside, I know her too well she is nice and sweet" He sighed with a grin.
"And evil too" I muttered. ILooked back to gnomeo who was eyeing me. "But I'm telling you know she threatend me, she really did" I try to convince him.
"I don't believe it. I'm gonna go ask her myself" He said sternly walking away.
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "She won't tell you the truth gnomeo, she'll just say she never said it to make me look like the liar" I called back to him as he stopped and looked back to me.
"I know juliet she'd never keep anything from me" He argued.
"You know me too gnomeo, and would I lie to you? Have I ever lied to you about anything that upsets me?" I argued back. I let out a sigh "But if you don't belive me that's ok, I didn't excpect you to believe me" I said sadly crying again. I could feel the guilt building up inside of him.
He was silent after that and thought about it, who was more right here me or juliet?
"I'm gonna go straighten things out with juliet" He said walking away.
Once he was gone I smirked evilly, I think I played him like a violin, now to sit back and watch the show and my plan unfold.
Juliet pov
I stompped the whole way back to my garden and started rambing to myself in anger. Stephanie had crossed the line with me back there, she had some nerve trying to come between me and gnomeo like that, she was lucky I didn't strike her down right there, that would've been the thing to do but I chose not too, because I was better than her, one of the many reasons I had gnomeo and she didn't and never would as long as I was around and had a say in it. I was so busy in thought I didn't hear who was calling me.
"Mum!" I look over my shoulder and don't see joelle but then she appers in front of my face.
"Joelle!" I said feeling my heart pick up speed. "Don't scare me like that" I said gasping.
"Sorry mum but have you seen dad he's taking us to the movies?"
"No I haven't and...who's we?"
"Jo and me!" She smiled. I looked to joelle I guess now was going to be a better time than ever to get this off my chest.
"Sweetie I know you like jo and all"
"She's the best!" She says.
"Yeah but how well do you really know her"
"Enough to know she's super awsome" Joelle giggled.
"Really cause she could be like her mum"
"Not all girls turn out like their mums, I mean you and I aren't that alike"
"Mum what are you trying to say?"
"I don't think you should hang around Jo anymore"
"What?! Why not?"
"Because I just don't think she's a good influence on you" I said thinking of a sudden excuse
Joelle looked confused. "What are you talking about, she's great, she not a bad influence on me mum. What's this really about?" She eyed me.
I took a breath in."It's just that stephanie and jo seem so close together" I try to explain.
"Yeah well they're all each other had before she met dad" Joelle said.
"Right, and stephanie...I talked to her and she's not exactly the most positive girl around"
"So just because that's how you think of stephanie doesn't mean Jo is the same way?"
"I'm just looking out for you sweetie" I said brushing her hair back.
"You don't have to do that mum I'm 16 not a child" She rolled her eyes.
"I know your a smart girl, but I still worry about you. I just think you should stay away from Jo"
"Why!?" She snapped getting upset.
"Because I said so that's why" I said crossing my arms to her.
"You can't do that, she's my friend and sister!" Joelle said.
"She's not your sister and you have nothing to do with her" I said sternly.
"She my half-sister and I have lots to do with her, more that you ever will" She snapped at me. "Why do you care so much about Jo anyway?"
"Why do I care?' I asked.
"Jo is dads daughter not yours, If dad says I can hang out with her you can't tell me not too" She said starting to cry.
"Joelle" I said calmly.
"Forget it mum!" She said stomping away. "You aren't keeping me from Jo and I don't care what you tell dad he likes jo as his daughter and if you don't then that's just your problem" She snapped back still walking away.
I sat on a rock in the middle of the garden and sighed into my hand. I have never done anything like that before I don't know what got over me. Joelle was a little shocked at me too I could tell, it's not that I had anything against Jo at all, It was just stephanie I had problems with and I was taking it out on her daughter and mine. Ever since stephanie showed her ugly face around gnomeo's life, everything in my life went wrong, she had gotten to gnomeo and now her daughter was interfering with my daughter and making Joelle turn against me. my whole family and my relationship with gnomeo was being hurt by that manipulative little tramp. Stephanie was really making my life harder and I wish she would just go away so everything could be normal again.
"The sooner she goes away the sooner I get my family back!" I said.
I needed to get my mind off stephanie for a while, perhaps chores would do the trick, something to preoccupy me and make me less tense.
Gnomeo pov
I walked back to my garden to sorth all this out with juliet. I knew she was upset about stephanie but this was taking it a bit far, I've never known her to be like that with anyone, But I woudn't fully believe it till I saw it myself I just needed to find juliet and get the real answer. But where to look for her? I scanned the garden and saw a flash of purple from the corner of my eye and saw my joelle skipping and dancing around the garden.
"Joelle!" I called and she came to me in an instant.
"Hey dad, back so soon" Joelle said prancing to me.
"Sweetie have you seen juliet?" I grin at her.
"She's watering the flowerbeds" She points in the direction juilet was supposedly to be, Joelle looked a little upset when she I mentioned juliet.
"Are you okay joelle?" I said touching her face.
"I'm fine" She sighed putting on a grin. "But you should go talk to mum, she's a little unusal today" She whispered to me.
So something was up with Juliet afterall. "Thank you for telling me sweetie" I smiled kissing her forehead.
"I finished all my chores, so now I'm going to find jo, bye" She gave me a kiss before running off to the main garden. "By the way are you taking us to the movies like you promised?" She asked.
"I never break a promise to you sweetie, go find your sister and we'll go later" I blow her a kiss and she goes off to the main garden once more.
I walked over to juilet over by the flower bushes she had her back turned to me and was humming a catchy tune, I listened to her humming voice as I tiptoed closer to her, close enough to put my hands to her eyes to give her a shock.
"Guess who?" I said in a different voice.
She giggled. "Hmm...Could this possibly be my man?" She said happily.
I moved my hands from her eyes and turned her around to me. "You're guess was dead on" I flirt and kiss her pretty cherry lips.
"I didn't expect you to come back so soon" She said happily.
"Well it's hard to stay away from the girl I love" I flirt kissing her hand.
"You're so charming, where do you get it from?" She crossed her arms playfully.
"Eh, It comes and goes" I shrugged and she rolled her eyes. "But I wanted to ask you something!"
"Anything what?"
I clear my throat a little "Okay so listen jules, I was talking to stephanie before..." I begin but she cuts me off.
"Oh goody a stephanie story, I'm dying to hear this" She was being sarcastic and rolled her eyes in annoyance, turning back to the flowers.
"And she said she talked to you, is that right?" I continue.
"Yeah she talked to me" She said in a low tone. So far so good.
I waited for her to go on but she looked as though she was finished."And...what did she say?" I question her.
She turned back around to me. "She was trying to tell me how you and her were just friends and that I had nothing to worry about" and then she tunred back to the flowers.
"That's it" I said unsatisfied.
"For the most part yes" She said without turning back to me.
"Oh that's good. Because stephanie had told me that you threatened her for no good reason" I sighed in relife,
"Heh, she said that did she?" She said quickly turning to me, with a nervous. face
"I know funny right? as if you'd actually do that" I said laughing.
"Yeah, I-I wouldn't do that, that is so funny haha!" Her voice souned wierd when she said that, like she didn't mean it.
"Juliet are you okay?" I ask.
"Me fine never better, why do you ask?" She chuckled nervously.
"You sounded wierd when you said that" I lean closer to her
She backs up getting nervous."Weird?! No I didn't that's just my voice. You should know what I sound like by now, I mean, your my husband afterall and you hear me all the time, you should just know that's how I talk sometimes heh" She was rambling and darting her eyes back and forth. She was hiding something.
"Juliet are you hiding something from me?"
She backed up and datred her eyes back and forth super fast. "Oh look at the time!" She annonced looking and touching to her bare wrist. "Sorry gnomeo but I have to be...somewhere with...someone to do...something, so...BYE!" She dropepd her watering can to run off.
"Wait a minuet!" I pulled her back by force as she struggled to get away. I held her close and made her face me, she was trying to avoid eye contact but I still looked to her eyes, her nervous/scared facial expression was saying something to me, that she wasn't being truthful to me. I gazed into her eyes and I figured it out from a single glance.
I gasped and took a step back as she looked to me with a startled look. "Oh no, juliet you didn"t!" I said backing from her a little.
"Gnomeo what are you talking about?" She said with a twitch.
"Did you actually threaten her!" I said worried.
"No, I would never do that" Her eyes darted when she said that. She was lying.
"Juliet tell me the truth!" I tell her again
"I am!" She said back.
"Juliet I know you're lying to me and I just want you to tell me the truth, you can tell me I won't get mad at you." I said stroking her hair. "Just tell me if you threatened her or not" I said calmly
"Of course not, gnomeo I would never just threaten her for no reason" She looked me in the eyes when she said that. She was telling me the truth afterall
I smiled at her. "Good, i knew you wouldn't do that" I said relieved walking away with a satisfied smirk.
"I had a good reason to threaten and made it perfectly clear when I did it!" She said back to me with a hint of pep in her voice.
"What!" I said shocked turning back to her.
"Yeah, she started messing with me so I got even with her harder" She said cracking her fists and frightening me a little. "That's how I solve my confrantations" She crossed her arms happily.
I slapped my forehead and walked back to her "Juliet you can't just go around threatening others for no reason" I complain.
"I had my reasons for threatning her the same way she had them for threatening me" She said sadly.
"She threatened you?!" I said shocked stephanie would do that. It wasn't like either of them to be so cruel.
"She was the one who started it gnomeo" She said clinging to me. "I just finished it is all!" She said with an evil grin.
I kinda grinned at her for that but then remembered it wasn't right of her. "Juliet you're better than that, you know you can't go and threaten anyone for no reason" I put my hands to her shoulder.
She took a step back from me "Even if that person was trying to steal you!" She said with a frown.
"What are you talking about?" I said confused.
"You wanna know why I threatened her gnomeo, because she told me she only came here for you so you could be with her and her daughter. Gnomeo she's just trying to steal you from me" Juliet whined in fear.
"Stephanie's not tring to steal me from you. Plus even if she was it wouldn't work, I don't even like her like that anymore" I was thinking she was just overreacting.
"Well she obviously still likes you that way, which is why I made it clear to her not to mess with me or you again!" She said demanding with anger.
This was not my juliet at all. "Juliet I can't belive you!" I said shaking my head dissapointedly.
"She's just using you gnomeo, when are you gonna realize that!" She said shaking me a bit
I push her off me."How is she using me?" I crossed my arms.
She took a while to explain then gave me an awkward glance. "I don't know but I just know she is!"
"Stephanies a good friend of mine juliet she's not interested in me and I don't like her!" I tell her right back.
"Good friend huh, that's wouldn't have anything to do with the fact she's your ex-girlfriend does it!" She snapped at me.
"No it doesn't!" I glare to her now a bit annoyed. "Besides stephanies the mother of my daughter" I continue but that really set juliet off.
"She has nothing to do with you, her or her daughter, you were better off without her in your life without both of them!" She was going off on me for no reason at all.
"Maybe but now they are both in my life and you just have to deal with it!" I demand of her.
She was silent and then glared at me again. "Oh so now your defending her? gnomeo your my husband! You're suppose to be on my side!" She was getting upset now, but I was getting annoyed with her at the same time.
"I am juliet!" I said calmy before she cut me off.
"Well the way your sticking up for your ex-girlfriend, whom you say you're over, that I seriously doubt now, says a whole other story!" She said leaving me.
I pull her back to me, not finished talking to her about this. "I love you Juliet, but I have other responsibiliteis to my other daughter now. It can't always be about you all the time, I have other people in my life!"
"And are most of them other girls gnomeo? cause I'm pretty sure stephanie isn't the onty girl besides me you've had in life!" She said going onto something totally off topic.
"You're going way off topic here and my past personal life is none of your buisness, and neither are the girls I've been with including stephanie" I say to her face a bit harsh than I thought.
Juliet gasped. "I can't belive you'd take her side over your own wife, you act like stephanies your wife all because she had your daughter before me, but she's not your wife gnomeo, I'm your wife and you'd better decide whether or not you want to keep it that way?" Was she doing it to me now.
"Are you threatening me now?!" I snarl to her a little mad with her.
"Well if the hat fits" She snapped.
I huffed and rubbed my forehead, walking a short distance in cirlces. "Juliet are you really that jealous?!" I bursted out of me.
"Jealous? of what?" She glares to me.
"Are you really that jealous of stephanie, just because she and I happen to be together before you and I were. So now just because your my wife that means I can't be around other girls and if I am that just gives you the right to threaten them for no good reason, Is that really how jealous you are?" I snapped.
She started breathing really fast and got red in the face from anger and pain. "That's it, I've had it! I can't talk to you anymore!" She cried running off with tears.
"Yeah well I can't talk to you either!" I yelled back to her.
When she was gone, I could still hear her sobs. I sat down on a stump and groaned. "What did I do?" I said almost crying myself. I never meant to hurt juliet but she had just pushed my buttons that time and I don't know why, but for some reason when she was being negative towars stephanie that made me mad, but why? I wassn't into stephanie anymore, I was sure of that. But whatever the reason I made juliet upset and I needed to fix this somehow.
"Juliet no wait, come back here!..." I said running after her in the end. I didn't care what she said to me before or what I said to her, I loved her and I was going to make it up to her...somehow
Stephanie pov
I was looking through the broken gap in the whole of the laurence garden spying on gnomeo and juliet, they were making a big argument and getting really mad with the other just how I expected them too. I loved listening to gnomeo defending me like that, that's why I wanted him so badly so he could live happily ever after with me and my daugter and our family.
I kept looking at the fighting and smirked everytime julet started getting upset, it brough me joy when I saw her run off crying, gnomeo must've really hit her where it hurts.
"That's my gnomeo!" I sighed lovingly.
I saw him get all depressed when he saw how upset he was making juliet. I didn't like seeing him this was but I knew it was making juliet hurt too, so I just let it slip me by.
"Perfect, everything is falling into place, soon I'll have gnomeo all for myself, Ahhahahah!" I said meniachly laughing my evil laugh and strolling merrily back to the garden.
UH-OH HERE COMES BIG TROUBLE. What will happen next? Stay and find out shortly. :)
