Juliet pov

I was sitting in the middle of my on a big rock just trying to hold back all the mixed emotions I was feeling right now. I thought I knew gnomeo but I guess I didn't cause it was just straight from love and affection to anger and regret.

"Gnomeo is being so unfair to me, god I'm so mad at him right now!" I said grumbling to myself and crying a little.

"How could he just stick up for Stephanie like that, I'm his wife he's suppose to take my side, but NO!, he's taking up for her he acts like she's his wife but she's not I AM!" gnomeo and I have never gotten mad at each other since we met, but now he was acting like a totally different person to me.

"What is his deal anyway!" I said pouting.

"JULIET!" I heard gnomeo running up to me.

He came over to the rock I was sitting on and looked to me. "Now what do you want!" I snapped turning around with stiff arms.

"Look Juliet I'm sorry!" He said apologizing.

"Yeah sure you are?" I crossed my arms.

"No Juliet I really am sorry!" He said taking my arm. "Look I know what I said but I didn't mean any of it I love you Juliet!"

"I love you too gnomeo, but what you said really got me upset!" I frowned at him.

"Juliet the last thing I'd ever want is to make you sad or mad with me. You mean too much to my life and Joelle's life, but mostly mine" He said lifting my chin and leaning in so our noses just barely touched. "I always want you by my side!" He said in the sweetest way possible.

I grinned and touched his cheeks "I'll always be by your side, no matter what!" I said back as softly as he did.

He smirked at me and nuzzled our noses. "That's what I love about you, a strong feisty girl with a very soft heart!"

'My heart happens to be filled with fire and action!" I boast to him

He chuckles and kisses my head "Another thing I love about you!" He smirked.

"My blue you are so enchanting!" I said as we both laughed and kissed once more.

"So now does that mean you forgive me!" He pleaded.

I pondered it for a moment, should I forgive him or should I still stay mad at him? "Alright I forgive you and accept your apology!" I said hugging him. His arms felt warm and secure around my body.

"I'm glad you came to your senses!" he joked and I rolled my eyes and kept hugging him "But you know, I wouldn't need to apologize if you hadn't messed with Stephanie in the first place" He said laughing. (not the smartest thing he could've said right there)

I looked up to him "What's that suppose to mean?" I narrow my eyes at him.

"Nothing...it's just Stephanie's not the girl you want to mess with!" he said.

I left his hug and looked at him again "Oh so what ,you think she's tougher than me or something!?" I asked.

"No I'm just saying, she's very strong-willed and determined!" He said like it was no big deal.

It was a deal to me though "I'm strong willed and determined too!" I remind him.

"Yeah but Stephanie's very manipulative and strong, I mean I showed her a thing or two back when we were dating!" He gloated.

"I'm sure you did!" I said getting irritated with him again, but he was too deep in thought about Stephanie to notice that.

"Yeah she's about one of the toughest girls I ever had, I'm surprised you could hold out against her!" He said smiling. I gasped when he said that and he looked to me realizing what he just said.

"Juliet I didn't mean that...!" He tried to say but.

"You don't think I can withstand her?" I snap.

"NO I do but, compared to Stephanie you're, the lesser one in strength!" He said not really wanting to say it.

"You think I'm the weak one compared to her!" I said getting offended.

"I didn't say you were weak, Stephanie's just got a level up on you!" He said nervously.

I was both offended and angry with him, mostly angry. "How do you figure that!"

"She's always had that about her, she's got agility, and brute strength and a lot of other stuff even I don't have" He explained, I glared even deeper at him. He saw that and gulped. "But see Juliet the thing about you that I love is that you and I are on the same level, but I might just be a little better!" He whispered that but I heard him clear as day.

Now I was extremely ticked off with him "So your saying I'm lower than you and Stephanie!"

"You heard that...I mean I never said that!" he said denying it.

"Gnomeo how could you think I'm no better than you're ex-girlfriend!"

"I don't!" He denied, I knew he was lying.

"Yes you do, you just said she was better than me!"

"But I don't think of her that way!"

"Then what do you think of her!" I asked him.

He looked back and forth trying to avoid eye contact with me "Nothing that I told you!" I got furious and then stomped away to a different rock and sat there not even wanting to face him.

"OH come on Juliet you're really going to get mad just because of how I compared you and Stephanie!" He asked.

Was he seriously asking me that question? "YES!" I scream and turn away from him. "But that's not the only reason, what I'm mad about is you!"

"Me?!" He asked shocked

"It's like I don't even know you anymore!" I snapped and cried a little.

"What are you talking about!" He crossed his arms

"Ever since Stephanie showed up you, act like a totally different person. Whenever she' around you treat her like you treat me, you act like she's your wife but she's not!"

"She's just a good friend of mine, I'm suppose to be nice to her!"

"Yeah but not treat her like your spouse!"

"I don't do that!"

"Gnomeo I understand you had a huge thing with Stephanie but, you and her aren't together anymore so you can just stop being around her acting like she means something to you!" I snap.

He looked at me like I was "Wait, wait, wait, First of all, I don't do that, second of all, who are you to tell me who I can and can't be around!" He said getting a little upset.

"Well I think I'm your wife!" I sass him with a glare.

He crossed his arms "Oh so that means you can tell me which girls I can and can't be around!"

"Pretty much!" I nod my head smirking.

"Oh so then I can tell you which guys to not be around then!"

"You don't have to worry about that, I don't go to other guys and flirt with them!" I yell in his face.

He gave me a confused look "I don't flirt with anyone!"

I scoff and roll my eyes "Stephanie would disagree!" I tell him.

"I've never flirted with her!" He argued.

I turn back to him rapidly "No, but you've sure been talking to her a lot since she got here and not to mention being super nice!"

"That's called being a good friend!"

"Or a flirting ex-boyfriend!" I mutter. "And let's not forget you spend time with her Joelle more than my Joelle!"

"Like I said before, that's being a good father...and leave my daughter out of this!" He says getting a bit more upset.

"Oh so what she's your daughter now, I thought you said you didn't like her!"

"She's my daughter I have to take care of her now!"

"You see that, that's what I'm talking about!" I say. "You act like they're your family and let's not forget you already have a family!"

"They are nothing like you and Joelle are, I love you, not Stephanie!" He said to me.

I rolled my eyes. "Why am I not believing that about you!"

"Juliet you're making this more complicated than it is!" He shook his head irritated.

I glare at him again "I'm making it complicated? says the guy who's flirting with ex's!"

"Well at least I'm flirting with a girl who understands me!" He says like he meant it, which he did

I widen my eyes, gasped and then glared even more and snapped "Oh I don't understand you!"

"I'm not understanding you right now!" He said getting angry. "And for the record, Stephanie might not be my wife, but she sure woud be better at it than you can. A girl who could carry her own weight around!" He said.

Never had I been so furious with him than I was in the years we've know one another "Ok That's it Gnomeo! I am done with you!" I announce storming off somewhere.

He looked at me with a shocked face "So what you're leaving me!" He asked glaring at me now.

'That would be the smart thing for me to do right now' I thought to myself but underneath all this anger, I still loved him. "Not yet, I am just not going to speak to you anymore until I find the proof that you love me!" I said turning away from him once more.

"But what about...!"

"I don't want to hear it!" I said putting my hands up.

"Juliet..."

I turned back to him and snapped "Why don't you go to Stephanie, since you find her so much better than I am!" I said glaring hard at him.

He gave me a sad look, which was soon replaced by a hard glared at me too "Fine! if that's how you want it!" He said walking away from me. The moment he was gone I jumped down from my spot and ran to my bedroom and cried. I didn't even make it to the bed, I just collapsed to my knees on the ground. Gnomeo was just not the man I married anymore, he just wasn't, it was like he was turning against me, his own wife and our family for Stephanie and her revolting daughter, like he was the man in their lives, well he's not. He's my man and Stephanie had to know that...and as for Gnomeo, if he wanted to keep being my man he better come to his senses and recognize that too.

I heard the phone ring and walked over to answer it "Hello!" I said into the phone.

"Hey Juliet!"

"Nanette, hey girl!" I said smiling hearing a voice I knew I could always trust. I sniffle into the phone and sighed.

"Are you crying!"

"Oh no I was just wheezing a little!" I said wiping my face dry.

"Oh well, I was just wondering were you coming to the garden today!"

"I wasn't planning to, Why?"

"We're all having a movie night over here tonight!"

I gasped "Movies, I love movies, I'll be there!" I smiled.

"Great, ta-ta!"

I giggled and hung up the phone, then went back to frowning, Gnomeo had gotten me all depressed right now Maybe just spending the night watching a movie will do me some good take my mind off him for a while.

Gnomeo pov

I stomped back to the garden mad and hurt, Juliet was getting so frustrating to be around right now, I just needed to clear my head of her for a moment or two, just have some time away from her for the day, until I could see she was cam enough for me to talk too. I walk in the gate and the first thing that happens is benny runs over to me.

"Gnomeo did you hear!"

"No what?"

"The Capulet's are going out later so We're all going inside for movie night!"

"A movie night!" Perfect a nice quite movie to help me relax 'I'll be there!" I said high-fiving him. I walked away and was again bombarded by another happy face.

"Gnomeo just the gnome I was looking for!"

"Yes Stephanie!' I asked.

"So I bet you heard there was a movie playing later, I hear a silent romance/drama movie!" he said emphasizing her words.

"Ok?" I said blankly.

"So I was wondering if you wanted to sit next to me when the movie starts!"

"I don't know Juliet's pretty mad with me!" I said, if she was me with Stephanie I was dead.

"Well maybe Juliet just needs to calm down a little and have time to herself" She said

"Yeah maybe!"

"And you could have a night alone too, a night apart might be just what you need!"

"So is that a yes!"

"I'll think about it!" I said walking away.

That night...

The stars were coming out and the sun was setting on another day in the garden, the Capulet's had finally left for their date so now us gnomes could sneak inside and have a fun movie night, We got in through the vent that connected to the washing machine and looked around. Everything was humans sized the couch the furniture and the TV, Bonus! While everyone got settled on the couch and sofa My mum and Lord redbrick went to go make us popcorn, Jo and Joelle helped them make it and pass it around. I was looking for a place to sit, my daughters had snuggled together on a pillow. Benny and tybalt and Featherstone were side by side, Nanette and pairs and our parents had their seats but where could I sit. I walked over to the end of the couch and sat down. I was about to sit until I felt someone push my back and made me fall over a little. I looked behind me and Juliet was glaring at me hard.

"Don't you think you'd rather sit somewhere else?!" She sneered at me.

I glared at her too "Oh you want to be like that now, fine, see if I care!" I said walking away from her. She was so annoying me right now I'm glad she and I were taking the night away from each other...but there was still a problem.

"Now where do I sit?" I asked.

"Gnomeo!" I turned around and saw Stephanie smiling at me, She looked as though she had brighter makeup on her face. "I saved you a seat next to me!" She said tugging my arm and leading me to the other side of the couch where we had our own little pillow to rest on. I sat down next to her and she put her legs on my lap spreading out on the couch.

"Uh Stephanie!" I said looking at her.

"Oh sorry!" She said moving her legs.

"No that's alright you can sit them there if you want!" I said to her, she smiled and I smiled to her as well.

"Just like old times huh?" She questioned.

"Yeah it is!" I tell her. "Look Stephanie I'm sorry about Juliet and everything, she's just been so jealous of you and me lately and...I don't know she's just not herself!" I sighed.

"Don't worry I've let it go, Juliet's not all that bad, she has her perks too!" Stephanie said.

"Yeah, she's awesome!" I smiled. I looked over to the other side of the couch where Juliet was she was paying me no attention and still looked angry. "If only she'd listen to me"

"She's probably just blowing off steam don't be so hard on her!"

"But she's been so hard on you since you got here and you're my friend!" I say.

She shook her head. "Like I said I've gotten over it, you know I was never the one to hold long grudges" She grinned at me.

"Yeah one of the reasons I liked you so much!" I smiled at her.

"We're still friends right?"

"Well we did use to date and you are the mother of my daughter, it would be right not to call ourselves friends!" I laughed and she did too.

"And just how close would you say we are?" She said moving up to my face a little.

"As close as an ex couple can be!" I say. She started looking at me funny and I got uncomfortable "Hey movies starting!" I said trying to draw her off me.

"Do you really want to watch the movie!" She said turning my head to her. "Don't you wanna just talk, catch up on things!" She asked flashing her eyes a little.

I gulped and cleared my throat. "Maybe after the movie!" I said looking. Well everyone was right for one thing; this movie was a romance action, but with very little action and too much girly romance. 15 minuets into it I was totally zoned out.

"Uh Stephanie is talking still on the table!"

She smiled at me "Always...oh, ow!" She said looking hurt.

"What's wrong!" I looked at her worried.

"My back is sore from this couch!" She said rubbing her back.

"Oh well, you can sit on my lap for a while if you want to!" I offered

She smiled and sat on my lap with her hands around my neck "Thanks gnomeo you're a real friend" she said lying on my chest.

"No problem stephy" I said rubbing her back for her.

"Stephy? where'd you come up with that?!"

"I called you that when we were dating you always thought it was cute!"

"It is cute, just like how I use to call you gnomey!" She said and I cringed.

"That's not cute it's embaressing!" I inform her. "Always has been" I tell her.

"Well I thought it was cute!"

"Yeah...why do you think we ever broke up in the first place!" I ask her.

"Some stupid fight I'm sure. But it really wasn't worth losing a guy like you over!" She said to me.

I smiled "I know you and I had something really special!" I say and then look back to the movie as an action scene came on and then back to the romantic junk

"*giggles*Remember how we use to snuggle like this and watch cheesy movies!" Stephanie said to me.

"Yeah good times!"

"And sometimes you'd copy what they said and added your own touch to make me laugh!"

"Yeah...I was weird back then!" I admit, making her giggle.

"I though it was cute! Sad you're too afraid to do that anymore!"

"Whoa wait a sec. who said I was afraid!?" I look at her funny.

"What you still can do it?"

"Yes!"

"Prove it!" She challenged me.

"I will!" I accept the challenge. I wait till a good dialogue part of the movie plays and then I show her what I've got.

copying dialogue from movie;

I took her and dipped her a little like in the movie. "Darling, even though it's been a long time, you and I have always had a certain something together that no one could ever replace in my heart. Your eyes shined like diamonds in my eyes and you're smile would cast a glow that shined for miles around. I know things have changed since we met last, but, I love you and I always have and I always forever will" I added my own spice and touched her face and looked at her with a smirk like in the movie.

She looked at me the same way, with a smirk, and laughed "Very impressive!" She said looking at me that way again.

"See I've still got my old ways!" I tell her puling her back up.

"Ow! what was that for!"

"You said you still had your old ways, we used to pinch each other like that all the time!" She said pinching me again.

"Ow! oh it's on now!"

"Bring it!" She said. We started this whole little pinch battle with each other she pinched me I pincher her back, it was painful but it was still fun. Man I had totally forgotten about how close stephy and I were. She and I were like the ideal couple and I almost missed that. I've been letting Juliet's emotions and jealousy get in the way of me reconnecting with an old friend.

"Okay can we stop now this is getting painful!" Stephanie complained rubbing her arm where I hit her most.

"Baby!" I say to her. "But I guess we can stop!" I said sighing.

"Thank you!" She said smiling.

I smirked evilly at him."And move to this!" I started tickling her under her chin and stomach as she started laughing

"Stop! Gnomeo knock it off! hahaha! I hate being tickled!" She cried kicking and trying to block me.

"Begging me to stop only makes it worst" I inform her

"I'm serious stop, I can't take it ahahahaha!" She begged even more. I eventually let her up and she was red from laughing.

She crawled back to my lap and sighed happily "Just like old times huh stephy!" I smiled at her.

"You said it...Gnomey!" She giggled as I rolled my eyes at her. I was having such a good time with Stephanie I didn't even notice how furious I was making the someone else.

Juliet pov

While the movie was playing I got bored an started looking around to see what others were doing, some of them were talking and not paying attention to the movie at all. I looked over on the couch and then right down at the very end I saw gnomeo and...Stephanie. I don't believe it, I knew he had a thing for her this whole time and he lied to me about it.

I saw him holding onto her and letting her sit on his lap as she kept brushing her body against his and he was liking it, but not as much as she was. Then it got even worse, they started fooling around with each other, playfully touching one another. But not in that way, although from the way they were touching and looking at each other they might as well have been doing it in that way.

I looked over below me to all the gnomes sitting on pillows Joelle and Jo were on a small pillow giggling and talking and holding hands playfully. They both looked so happy together and I understood how Joelle was feeling, she didn't have any other teen gnomes around here she could play with and I know how lonely she's been feeling all these years with no one her own age to spend time with, and ever since Jo came around Joelle has been so much happier and really enjoys having company around. I know I should be grateful and happy that My daughter has someone her own age to be with, and it's nothing personal to Jo, But I just couldn't stand her being around my daughter when her mother and I were enemies to each other. Joelle and I had a strong mother daughter relationship because we were both basically the same in personality, she was sweet, smart, kind, Brave, Independent and cared so much for everyone in the garden...But Jo on the other hand...I didn't know much about her but she seemed like a sweet smart girl too from what I've seen and she does care so much for my girl and I don't hold that against her personally...But seeing as how her mother is Stephanie and knowing Stephanie like I do, Well, like-mother-like-daughter I always say. What if Jo's really like Stephanie, Cold, Harsh, Aggressive, and Manipulative, she could just be playing with Joelle like her mum's playing with gnomeo and I already feel like I lost him to her, I don't want to lose my daughter and my family to her either.

The girls were still talking as I was just looking down to them. Joelle looked up and saw me and waved with a smile and I waved back to her.

"Hey um you want to come sit with us!?" Joelle asked.

"Yeah Juliet come on down" Jo said to me too.

I thought about it and then I jumped down to the pillow right next to Joelle smiling. "Got room for one more!" I said chuckling.

Joelle laughed with me and rested her head to my shoulder while still talking to Jo. I looked back up to the couch in the far right side and gnomeo was still there laughing and giggling with Stephanie, that manipulating, flirting, loose little cow. Jo excused herself from me and Joelle when her mum called her and she ran to the couch and sat right in-between gnomeo and Stephanie, But that didn't stop her from flirting with gnomeo all over again. Now gnomeo was Getting flirty with Stephanie right back at her, and cuddling Jo in his arm like he doe with me and Joelle back home. It was like gnomeo was with his second family, but he only had one Family and was always going to have just one family and that was me and Joelle.

I glared hard at them both, mostly Stephanie cause she was having her hands all over my husband, who in return was enjoying it "FUCKING SLUT!" I muttered. Gnomeo brushed her hair back and gave her that look that he always gave me. I got so furious and heartbroken I would've gone over there and cracked both of them in the heads but I didn't want to cause a scene with everyone around here.

Jo came back to the pillow with us and I saw that as my chance to see more. Now that jo was here Stephanie crawled back on gnomeo's lap and he just started holding her like he use to do with me before.

"How could he do this to me!" I said letting a tear fall from my face, he had a wife and he was all over another girl like he was single. He didn't care about me he just wanted her and her alone.

But it wasn't my concern anymore, If gnomeo preferred that tramp and her whore daughter then I wish them the best together.

Gnomeo pov

Me and Stephanie were just there sitting and talking and catching up on old times. She and I had done a lot of stuff in the past few years and it was really interesting, she said she had been a few places and saw a few people, I wished my life was like hers sometimes but my life was just as good with a wife and family who loved me.

"I forgot how much fun we used to have together!" I said to her grinning.

"I know it's been great catching up on things with you!" She said touching my shoulder. "It's been nice being on my own I got to go places and do things!"

"Yeah sometimes I wish I could travel around too!" I tell her.

"Well maybe one day you will, opportunities can happen!" She said making me smile even more.

"But you know on top of all that the best day of my life was having our daughter!" She said almost crying.

I gave her a small hug "I wish I could've been there to see it, but I was taking care of my beautiful daughter of my own!" I said looking over at the girls. They were talking and giggling and having a great time, they were just like real sisters.

"Well now you've got 2 beautiful daughters to love!"

"Both of them have 2 amazing mothers too!" I said like I was saying that to her. She gave me that look again and then started to show red on her cheek. About a few moments later she started yawning a little. "Tired" I whispered to her.

She leaned the other way and shook her head. "No just a long day!"

"Here you can rest on my lap if you want!" I said as she placed her head on my lap, now this really felt like old times.

"Gnomeo do you ever wish we could go back in time and change life so we never broke up?!"

I gave her a weird, awkward look. "Uhm...not really, but I guess that would be nice to think about." I gave the best answer I could

"Just asking!" She said turning on her side, I found myself rubbing her hair as the movie played on.

Her hair was soft to the touch, like petting a baby kitten "Soft hair, how do you get it like this?"

"I take care of myself pretty well!" She said with sleep in her voice.

"I can see that!" I said looking at her curved figure. "Weird how you don't have a man in your life!"

"Not many guys are my type, just certain specific guys will do for me!" She said turning over in my lap and smiling and I smiled back.

She turned back over as we came to a scene where the leading role and his friend were sitting at a bar talking...

Actors on t.v

"Look over there man, she's a fine one isn't she!" His friend pointed to a girl sitting in a stool.

"Yeah but my girls over there and she's a fine catch all the same!" He said pointing to his girlfriend across the way

"What about that other girl you're always hanging around!"

"No she and I are just friends, sure she and I use to have a thing together, But I'm perfectly even happier with the girl I have now!"

That's exactly how I was feeling about my Juliet, she was like no other girl and I loved her more than anyone. But after what happened earlier my affection for her was weirdly going on and off at random. It had been a while since this morning, she probably had cooled down by now maybe I should go over and talk to her now. I looked over at the couch and Juliet was gone, where did she go?...Oh no, did she see me and Stephanie talking all this time? I hope she didn't get the wrong opinion. I saw a dark figure far from the crowd that walked into the Capulet's kitchen, it was Juliet. Maybe I should go talk to her and see if she's okay. I placed Stephanie's semi-sleeping body on the couch in my place and snuck away from the rest of them.

Juliet pov

That was disgusting, rude, and unfaithful of gnomeo. I was sitting here trying to watch a movie and here was gnomeo flirting with Stephanie right in front of me. I don't know what I ever saw in him but I wasn't seeing it anymore.

"Jules past me the popcorn!" I heard tybalt say but I was too busy looking at my cheating soon to be ex husband and his filthy little mistress to notice.

"Jules are you deaf I said pass the popcorn!"

"Not now!" I grit through my teeth. Tybalt saw what I was looking at and sighed deeply, when he saw gnomeo and Stephanie, flirting it up.

"Sucks to be you right now!" Tybalt said to me, and I just rolled my eyes.

I caught Stephanie look this way and she saw me glaring hard at her. She gave me that evil look and started brushing gnomeo's arms and leaning up against him to purposely get a rise from me. I saw gnomeo pay me no attention he was just too glued on her to notice how furious, hurt and betrayed I was with him. He might as well have just dumped me right then and there.

I tried not to think about this and went back to watching the movie. I kept hearing Gnomeo and Stephanie talking and giggling, I plugged my ears to try and drown out the sound, but it just kept coming through, I was starting to cry a little but not to much that I drew attention to myself. I looked over and saw Stephanie trying to kiss him and gnomeo was playing along with it, now that was really tugging at my heart, Was gnomeo really going to kiss another girl in front of me, not even he was that cruel. He was touching on her hair and giving her the same look he always gave to me he looked at her like he wanted to kiss her, if they kissed that was going to be the end of us, but it kind of already was the end of us.

I just couldn't take it anymore, I got up and walked into the kitchen. "Mum where you going!" Joelle whispered to me, I didn't even look to her, I just walked into the kitchen and banged my head on the table and cried.

Gnomeo said he loved me and he was making me feel all kinds of feelings that were the opposite of love. He made me feel like I was before, that no one ever cared about me and didn't think I had any feelings, he was making me feel like I had no feelings the way he was cuddling up to Stephanie back there. It was like I didn't even exist to him anymore.

I stopped crying and peeked back into the living room, as the movie played on. From the crack in the door I could see gnomeo with his arm wrapped around Stephanie and she was leaning on his shoulder. I felt myself crying again and closed the door to the kitchen and leaned on it. Why was gnomeo trying to punish me like this? it's all his fault I was trying regretting ever meeting him anymore. I heard the movie playing and looked back into the other room, a scene was playing that was similar to my problem; The guy was trying to convince his girl that he loved her and only her.

Actors on TV

"My love, you can say what you want about me but it will never change my feelings for you" The leading guy aid to his wife.

"But what about her, you and her have everything in common, more than we do!" The girl said crying on her husbands shoulders.

"That matters nothing to me anymore!" He tells her.

"But you and she had a relationship until I came along and stopped it..."

"It doesn't matter who I dated before you, what matters is that I chose and love you!" He told her...and then they kissed.

That little piece of dialogue really spoke to me. That's how I felt about gnomeo, True he and Stephanie had a thing before me, and sure they had more in common with each other than me. But He loved me and I had evidence to prove it, a family, a garden, and a daughter, nothing says I love you more than all that.

Maybe I should go back out there and straighten things out with gnomeo he and I have both been a little off lately with each other and I just wanted to put this all behind us before it got any worse.

As fate would have it at the same time gnomeo came walking in right on cue "Gnomeo!" I said when he came through the door. I was shocked and yet happy to see him and then I just started glaring him down when I remembered how he was just with Stephanie and now with me. "What are you doing in here?!"

"Juliet are you alright, I saw you come in here and you were looking pretty sad!" He asked him

Like he actually cared about me "I'm just fine, I only came in here to be alone, go away!" I said looking down from him.

Gnomeo then stopped and looked down at me too "What's your problem lately?" He asked folding his arms.

I look back to him "I don't have a problem!"

"Yes you do you've been giving me the cold shoulder all day!" He said pretty upset right now.

"I know I have!" I say, I was well aware of what I was giving him.

"But why I haven't done anything!" He asked.

"I'm not the one flirting with other people!" I mutter under my breath but loud enough so he could hear it.

He gave me a confused glare. "What are you talking about?"

I huffed and rolled my eyes "Oh never mind!" I said walking away from him.

He walked up behind me and started rubbing his neck "Well uhm, do you want to come back and sit with me during the movie. I could use someone to cuddle with!" He said slowly reaching for my hand.

I took my hand back and looked at him "Why don't you ask stephy...I'm sure she wants to cuddle with you, like she was before!" I snapped at him

His eyes grew big and scared "Oh you saw that!" He rubbed his neck nervously.

I deepened my glare "The whole garden saw it! Everyone in England could see it!" I snap at him.

"Juliet that wasn't what it looked like!" He said.

"Yeah I've heard that one before!" I crossed my arms

"No honestly, that wasn't flirting at all!"

"Then what do you call that!"

"Just being friends" He said, I was not buying it and he knew that. "Juliet I know I looked like I was flirting with him but trust me I wasn't you do trust me don't you?"

"I don't know anymore." I said frowning and looking back at him. "I don't know if I should trust you anymore!" I started wrapping my arms around me almost crying.

"Why?"

"Gnomeo, do you know how hard it is to see the man I love flirting with another woman. I just can't trust you if you're going to do that with other girls alright. I don't think I can't be with someone who thinks it's okay to just flirt with girls when you have me around and expect me to go along with that...I just won't do that to myself." I said crying against the walls. I know this was hard for both of us to hear but, I couldn't see any way pass this if gnomeo wasn't going to be faithful to only just me.

Gnomeo pulled me from the wall and hugged me "I would never do that you Juliet you know I wouldn't dream of hurting you in any way. I'm sorry if I hurt you but it was never intentional. I would never ever make you upset." He rubbed on me to calm me down but I was just even more upset.

I was just so upset right now I couldn't think straight "I wish I could believe that, I really do!" I cried even more on his shoulders.

"You know you can trust me baby, you could always trust me!" He whispered in my ears.

"My head is telling me I shouldn't trust you, my brain knows everything!" I tell him crying into my hands.

He placed a hand to my shoulder as I looked over and saw the sad face he was giving me "And what about your heart? what is it telling you?" He asked

"What doesn't it matter!" I said looking away from him.

"Your heart doesn't tell you what is best, your heart already knows what is best. Look in your heart and you'll know the truth!"

"My heart is saying...Gnomeo!" I said slowly. He smiled and I smiled back a little. "My heart is telling me to never doubt you again!"

"And will you!"

"I'm trusting my heart cause it knows what's best. I'll never doubt your love again!"

"Thank you!" He said spinning me around.

"You don't have any feelings for any other girl do you?" I said making sure.

"I never have!" He whispered to me.

"But you and Stephanie..."

"Stephanie was great but she and I are and always will be just friends!

"But you 2 had a lot in common before I came around!" I said frowning.

Gnomeo chuckled and lifted my head "It doesn't matter what me and Stephanie had, what I care about is what I have now and that's you Juliet"

That's when I remembered the actors on the movie, they were caught up in a love triangle between old flames but they were still madly in love with each other. That's how I was feeling with gnomeo right now, He might have had his old girl around now but I was his forever girl and he was my forever guy.

"I love you!"

"I love you too!" He said kissing me hard and passionately. "So now will you please drop this whole Stephanie thing so we can go back to normal!"

I wasn't ready yet to let go, I still had my doubts about Stephanie. But I wasn't going to let him know that. "Well I guess I could let it go...for you!" I grinned.

He smiled in relief "Come here baby!" He smirked bringing me into a hug. I leaned on his chest and felt his heart beat to a pace that matched my heart. I felt so safe in his arms.

That's when I heard a commotion from the other room. I peaked into the door, it was the movie playing again, but things had taken a turn. The guy had been caught messing around with his old lover and now his wife was furious at him.

T.V playing on...

"How could you?! you said you loved me!" The woman said crying

"Sorry baby love flames dies out eventually, and it looks like our flame just hit it last spark!" He said walking away in the hands of his old girlfriend, Leaving his wife dropping down on the floor to cry.

Seeing that I took the whole thing to a personal level, if that could happen to them, think of what could happen to me and gnomeo? I mean Stephanie was already all over him and gnomeo was getting a little too comfortable around her now. It was only a matter of time before he decided he made the mistake of marrying me and run right back into her manipulating fingers. I know I might be over dramatic but nonetheless Gnomeo was still a guy and guys tend to pick and chose girls, married or not.

I pushed out of his hug and looked at him in fear, I couldn't let that happen to me, not now, not ever!. "What's wrong Jules!" He asked at my sudden reaction. I backed away from him and turned from fear to anger and just glared at him hard

"Baby what is it!?" He said trying to touch my cheek.

I slap his hand away "Don't call me that!" I snap at him.

"What!?" He said startled by my sudden outburst towards him.

"Just leave me alone gnomeo I can't do this!" I said yelling at him.

"What, why!?"

"You...You did this to me, you did all of this to me!" I said pushing him away.

"Did what? What are you talking about!" He got even more confused.

"This...I can't even look at you without feeing hurt and betrayed, you're not the man I married anymore gnomeo...you've changed!" I said crying slowly.

Gnomeo had no clue what I was talking about but her still came over to me "Juliet" He said calmly trying to touch my cheek again

I turned my face away and glared at him with tears "Just forget it and leave me alone, NOW!" I said pushing him out the kitchen and slamming the door. Like I had just slammed a piece of my heart out with it. I leaned against the door breathing like I was about to pass out from a heart attack and then just slid to the floor, hugging my knees and crying. This was all just to much for me to handle right now, I just didn't know what to do.

Gnomeo pov

Ok what is up with Juliet, she is really acting insane now. One minuet she was loving me and the next she just snapped out at me for no good reason and for what, all because she was jealous of Stephanie and me being friends. For the last time I am not interested in Stephanie like I was back then I loved and always would love Juliet. I understand Juliet was having a hard time seeing me and Stephanie as friends because we used to date and all but she was just out of it now. She acted like she was the only girl I was suppose to have in my life, Well I could have other female friends in my life besides just her, just like she could other guy friends in her life. Stephanie was just a friend and Juliet was always going to be my sweet girl for some reason that just wasn't getting through to Juliet's thick head.

I guess what Juliet needed was some time alone to think about all this, But there was really nothing to think about she and I were together and it was going to stay that way and no one was going to say differently, I would have told her that in person but she was in no mood to talk or be reasoned with and I was in no mood to talk with her. I just sighed and walked back to the couch, Juliet just needed to stay in the kitchen and cool down.

I walked back to the couch and took my stop next to Stephanie whom was still lying down. When I sat down that's when she looked over at me.

"Gnomeo where were you, I woke up and you were gone?"

"I went to talk to Juliet and she just snapped at me!" I announce plopping on the couch in frustration.

"You seem mad?" She saw my angry facial expression.

"I kind of am...all I was trying to do was sort things out and then she goes all defensive on me *Groans* She just gets to be too much for me sometimes!" I said looking sown with a mad frown.

"She's probably just hurt!"

"By what I didn't do anything to her!"

"Maybe seeing us together ha got her thinking the wrong way!"

"Yeah maybe!" I said thinking that over.

"Juliet loves you a lot gnomeo and she just doesn't want to lose you!"

"I love her like crazy too, she knows how much she makes me happy...But if she 's going to get jealous over every other girl I have in my life then..." I stopped right there not even wanting to consider that, I would be crushed if Juliet ever left my life. "I don't know, it's complicated!"

"Seems to me Juliet wouldn't be acting this way if we weren't so close!"

"I guess she wouldn't!"

"Maybe we shouldn't spend so much time together!"

"Wait, what?!" I said shocked. "No stephy you don't have too..." I tried to say.

She placed her hand to my mouth "Gnomeo It's obvious Juliet hates me, she's never liked me from the second I got here. I know she and I haven't been getting along but her anger is with me and now she's taking it all out on you. I don't want to be the cause of a rip in your relationship, and break you 2 apart" She said to me. I saw a tear form in her eyes, I hated to see a girl cry,

I grabbed her hand. "You're not breaking us apart stephy...I'm not going to let Juliet's piety jealousy come between our friendship. You and I are just friends and if Juliet has a problem with that, then that's just on her. You've always had my back stephy now I can repay it and have yours!"

"I'll always be there for you Gnomeo!" She said, giving me a kiss on the cheek." Always!" She whispered in my ear. I smiled and sat back on the couch as she leaned on me.

When the movie was over, everyone went back out into the garden. Me and Stephanie were laughing the whole way outside. "That was the most romantic movie I ever saw!"

"Yeah too romantic, I almost barfed!" I said faking to barf making her laugh harder.

"I had a great night with you gnomeo!"

"Me too, it was nice hanging out with you all night!" I said. "Just like when we used to be an item!" I said taking her hand again. I saw her slowly blush and bat her eyes at me. To be a gentlemen I gave her a goodbye kiss. "Goodnight stephy!" I winked at her.

"Want to hang out again tomorrow?" She asked me.

"Maybe, unless the girls drag me to the mall again!" I say making her laugh again.

"Well goodnight!" She said hugging me again for a long time. When I looked up from it I saw at the very end of the gate leaning on the door, was Juliet. She looked like she was looking this way and I feared she was getting the wrong Idea...again. I quickly pulled away from Stephanie, so it looked like nothing happened, I saw that she was really waiting for Joelle who was hugging o goodnight. After that she yanked Joelle's arm and forced her out the garden.

I didn't know what her deal was but for sure she was letting it get the best of her. I just ignored it and went back to hugging Stephanie. I had really missed all the good times we had spent together, It was a shame we had to break up over a silly little argument because she and I would have made a pretty decent couple still. I mean we shared all the same hobbies, well most of them, and we had similar personalities. I mean we had spent all this time together and...wait, that's it we had been spending so much time together, that was it, Now it all made sense. No wonder Juliet was acting the way she was she was jealous I was hanging around Stephanie so much that maybe it was hurting Juliet a lot more than I thought it was...Maybe Juliet was right maybe I was spending too much time with her and that's what was driving Juliet insane.

I looked to Stephanie who was still holding onto me and I pushed her away"Gnomeo what is it!?" Stephanie asked looking at me worried.

"Sorry Stephanie I got to bail I need to find Juliet now!" I said racing out the main garden to my garden. Boy was I going to have some explaining to do tonight.

Stephanie pov

I saw gnomeo chase after Juliet and leave my body chilled and bare. I looked at my body, he hugged me tonight me and gnomeo were like they way we were before, I smiled lovingly as I watched him disappear and chase after his not to be for long wife.

"MOTHER!" I got scared when I heard someone scream at me. I looked and saw my daughter.

"Joelle! Don't scare me like that!" I said holding my chest.

"Sorry mum, but wasn't tonight great!"

"It certainly was, the best night of my life!" I sighed thinking of the night I had with Gnomeo.

"I think it's time for you to head to bed now dear!" I smiled kissing her forehead.

"Goodnight mum!" She hugged me and I brushed her hair as she walked away yawning.

The second she was gone I walked into the blue shed and looked in the reflection of the mirror in the corner and just went wild giggling and laughing out loud. "OH MY GOSH, I CAN'T BELIVE HOW MUCH FLIRTING HE DID WITH ME!" I screamed as loud as I could. Gnomeo and I spent the whole night in each others arms, It was like I was in my perfect vision of heaven and Gnomeo was my god.

"Juliet was so jealous you could see that all over her repulsive little face!" I remembered how much Juliet was so upset her own man was in the arms of me, and who could blame him I was quite the catch.

"If only Gnomeo could see that too!" I said sighing that he was still into her. "But no matter pretty soon you will be mine and Juliet will be out of my life for good. I promise that!" I said cracking the next part of my plan. This whole battle for gnomeo between me and Juliet was about to come to an end and I was going to get the grand prize, Gnomeo's eternal love.


Nothing worse than driving a wedge between a strong happy pair. Stephanie's really got this thing planned out doesn't she? and to think no one knows yet, that's just how good she is...It's kind of scary :( and Gnomeo with all that flirting, what is up with him lately?

Next chapter tension will be resolved and growing. Until then...this is me signing off! *Hugs and kisses*
