11. A Girl´s Suicide!
(That same day, a little later)
Gnomeo's POV
After the incident of this morning, I managed to get out of there and head back to my garden where Benny and my mum found me in the entrance, all wounded. My mum spend the entire morning curing my still injured left arm as I kept thinking of what happen this morning and how it shocked me that the Reds were able to put Tybalt back together and how he and Lord Redbrick jerked Juliet away from me and not mention she was naked. But I had to come up with another plan to get her out of there, she suffered enough and I knew that Lord Redbrick would start a big fight with her when he finds out that she married me. After this he´s never gonna let her see the light of day again, he´s going to have her locked up in that garden like a caged animal and she´ll be miserable than ever, and I won´t let that happen. I can back to reality when I felt my mum passing a wet rag over my arm and it hurts!
"Ow!
"Would you hold still? She cries
"It hurts, mum" I complain
"Serves you right for running off like that" she laughs and I rolled my eyes "And would you like to explain to me what have you been up to last night?
I couldn't keep this a secret, I had to tell somebody about this but I was worried what my mum would think of this. I had to let it all out.
"In heaven with an angel, mum" I sigh, thinking of m Red angel
But then she pinches me with anger. I have no idea why she did that but she was mad.
"OW!
"You're gonna have to respect that girl!
"But I do respect her for everything, mum. And she and I are married"
"What? Really?
"Yep, because once you love someone that much, you just can't wait and we're just ahead the honeymoon"
Then she mad again and pinches my shoulder again!
"You would stop! And why are you insulting me if you and Dad felt the same way?
"Exactly, because he and I had no rush in getting married but you on the other hand still need to tie up your big boy pants, mister" she teases and I laugh softly "And don't tell me your stories like if I was Benny, I am your mother and you respect me and her"
"Ok, mum. I get it, just stop pinching me" I rub my shoulder
"Scoundrel" she whisper, teasing "And from what heard from next door, Lord Redbrick must be furious when he found his daughter with you"
"Yeah, mum but it didn't go as planned? Once again, Juliet was taken away from me again"
She sighs "That poor girl, all locked up by her ogre father like a caged bird in that horrible place"
"I know, mum but what more can I do? I frown
"Don't worry, my boy. I know that this will all clear up soon because I've seen the kind of girl Juliet is, she is a strong & beautiful girl and she won't let anything change her feelings for you because she loves you" she says sweetly as she passes a wet rag over my head and I smile at her because at least somebody understood my love for my Juliet.
After my mum was done, I slowly walk to my windmill. Every gnome in my garden kept asking me about Juliet, in rude comments but I ignore them and continue to walk to my windmill where I stand, where I unexpectedly found a note that said my name on the front, I open it and I quickly knew that it was from my wife when I saw in the corner of the paper a G+J* in a heart, I smiled at that but soon my smile disappeared when I started reading her scary letter...
-My Love,
I'm sorry but I can't live like this. And if you're reading this, it means that it will be the last you'll ever hear from me. Don't think that I'm don't love you, I do and with all my heart but your love is not enough to fill the loneliness I feel and felt before I met you. But I feel so alone. Nobody cares what I feel or what I'm suffering. I don't have a mum and to my Dad is like I don't exist to him. You'd always had a mum that loves you and I'm pretty sure that your dad loved you the same way but I feel that mine never cared about me, not even when I was younger and when my mum was alive. To not exist for my dad is the same to not exist for the world. I live in a garden where I'm being seen as a traitor or just a decoration instead of a person with feelings, feelings for you but every time I´m with you, there´s always trouble. And feel so far away from you, even though you're right next door to me but I can't go see you anymore. That's why I don't want to live anymore.
You know that I will always love you and I know that you're going to find someone who doesn't cause you any trouble. And sometimes I wish that I could be Blue just to be with you but unfortunately I wasn't born that way. And these last days by your side were the most happiest and most beautiful days of my life and I will cherish them forever. I love you and goodbye, my Gnomeo, my Blue and my love.
-Your Red girl, Juliet Blueberry*
After reading her note, I got scared because I knew what she meant, she was planning to kill herself, I wasn't going to let that happen, I needed to do something to stop her. I drop the note and I ran out of my spot at full speed to tell my mum about this. After all that has happened and telling her that Juliet was my wife, she forgave me and I knew she was going to help get through this.
"Mum! Mum! Juliet suicide herself!
"What are you saying, my boy? What do you mean she suicide herself?
"She left me a note, saying goodbye to me, mum. She didn't want to keep living, which she was going to kill herself. I want to beg her not to do it, mum, I need to tell her that I love her but she said she felt so alone and said goodbye to me. She killed herself, mum! SHE KILLED HERSELF!
"Gnomeo, Gnomeo, calm down, we'll just have to wait until she gets better"
"You have to believe that this isn't happening, cous. Maybe it was just something to scare you" Benny jump in, worried about me, even though he still hasn't forgiven me.
"I'm going to call Redbrick" she said. My mum grabs a phone and dialled in speed dial Lord Redbrick, quickly (A/N: Please, don´t ask. I don't know where I got that from (*shrug*)
(In the Red Garden)
Lord Redbrick was still furious at Juliet by what she did. He stayed silent after the events of today, he knew that he would have a few gnomes to stand guard and keep an eye on her. Soon he heard a phone ringing "Hello? Lord R answer
"Redbrick, where's Juliet? Lady B asked, desperate
"Where she's suppose to be, away from your wretched son! He said, cruelly
"Listen, I don't have time to argue with you, Redbrick. Where is Juliet? Lady B yelled
"She's in her pedestal, I believe. Why? What's the matter? he shrugs, carelessly.
Suddenly, he was cut off when he sees Nanette hoping/running, coming toward him, crying with Tybalt following behind and with a dead body in his arms.
"LORD REDBRICK! Lord Redbrick, its Juliet! Nanette cried, sobbing
"What's the matter? What happen? Lord R ask, concern there was a problem with his daughter.
Then Tybalt came running in "She cut her veins" Tybalt exclaim while carrying Juliet's limp body in his arms, half dead with bloody hands, which made Lord Redbrick drop the phone is shockness.
"She's dead?! Lady B asked, shocked, hearing over the phone
"NO! Gnomeo cried in pain, sobbing
Then Lady B hanged up on the phone, worried "Oh my goodness, we have to go to the hospital" she said as she pat her son's back, trying to calm him down.
"I feel so guilty for not helping her, for not being there for her" Gnomeo sobbed, feeling so guilty.
"My boy, this is not your fault. Maybe this is just away to scare you by telling you that she's dead" my mum cried, trying to calm me down.
I wasn't taking any chances, I ran out the door and I was in complete shock when I saw in the alley the paramedics take an unconscious Juliet on a gurney and she had her hands dangling from the gurney, all covered and dripping blood and I ran after her but they block my way and my mum held me back but I still had tears coming out of my eyes. And she took me back inside to calm me down and we will go to the hospital later. I felt so scared for my wife and I fear that she might die but I wonder why would she do that? Why would she intent to kill herself? Doesn't she know how much I love her? Whatever the reason was, I had to go see her and make sure she doesn't leave my side ever again, or the Reds will be punishing her to do something like this again.
In the Red Garden
After the Red girl was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, the Red Garden for the first time was starting get worried about her. (A/N: There's a start (scoff) Lord Redbrick felt guilty about his daughter's suicide, he never thought that she would intend to do this. He has always wanted to protect her from killing herself, but he was wrong, he was so blind to see her pain and that she was miserable she felt all these years. He talked to the doctors and they said that she was very weak and need to be at the emergency room as soon as possible before she loses any more blood. Even Tybalt was feeling guilty about his cousin and that maybe part of this was his fault for being a terrible cousin with her.
"What did they say? Tybalt ask, worried
"That she's very ill" Nanette said
"I was an idiot! Why didn't I see the pain and pressure that girl had? She told me she felt lonely and that nobody care about her and instead of cheering her up, I told her we had the same unfortunate luck, we had a parent that didn't care about us" Tybalt grunted, angrily.
"You think that? Lord R asked
"Yes, uncle. I had a deep hatred to my mother. That mother that was always been absent all these years, the one that never cared about me, the only thing she cared about was this feud, no wonder my cousin ran away and killed herself, and you and I both know why but we never listen to her, didn't we? he said, mad and was starting to open his eyes about this problem and feud.
"I'm going with the girl, I'll call you"
Lord Redbrick puffs up his chest and walks out the garden, on his way to the hospital to take care of his daughter and pray that she would die. If she dies, it will be taking her away from him for real, more worst than being married to a Blue, which he will never forgive her.
(In the hospital)
Gnomeo's POV
That afternoon, I sat still on the lobby chairs, with my head down looking at the floor and with my hands on my face, feeling desperate and waiting for news about Juliet. I still couldn't believe she tried to suicide herself! This feud is getting out of control and would never believe that it would get this far and she would do this because me, to prove a point, to open our parents and our garden's eyes.
Soon I was called by the doctor to go see Juliet. I walk inside her room and she was still unconscious. But she was not alone, I found Lord Redbrick with her and he gave a furious grin and I tried not to yell at him but I had to keep it calm but I was a bit mad for what he made his daughter kill herself.
"What are you doing here? Lord Redbrick ask, angry when he saw me
"Hold on, before you say anything, you're gonna have to listen to me" I said, with intention that I come in peace.
But he was furious "Well, I won't because you are responsible for what happen to her" he points at Juliet, sleeping in the bed.
"This was not my work. It was you who made her miserable and wouldn't let her be happy. So I had nothing to do with this"
"Well, you somehow have because look at her, Gnomeo, there's your masterpiece. A healthy girl full of life and energy. She's in a coma, almost dead. What was the point of your love if you weren't going to take care of her?
Now I was really mad "Respect my wife"
"I should kill you with my own fists" he put up his fists, wanting to smash my face.
"Get out and leave us alone" I growl
"I am not going anywhere, she is my daughter" he growl back but angrier
Suddenly, I heard a voice that made me forget all of my anger "Dad? I heard her and we both turn back at her, she was starting to wake up.
"My girl, how do you feel? Lord R leans in front of her while holding her hand
"A bit weak" she said softly "What happen to me?
"You almost died" I lean in front of her
"Who are you? She asked, confused and a bit scared of me
My eyes wide in shock. She had a confused look on her face and she had a fear in her eyes. She didn't know who I was? This was surprising me even more but I had to tell her truth.
"Juliet. It's me, Gnomeo, I'm your husband"
"No, no. You're a Blue" she said scared of me
"Mr. Blueberry, please, leave the room or you'll make things worse for her! The doctor and some nurses were starting to take me out the room but I struggled to get to my wife.
"No, please don't take me out. Juliet's my wife!
"Get out of here, wretched blue, and never come near my daughter again!
"No, no! Juliet, it's me! I love you! I LOVE YOU!
I tried to explain and make her believe me but she had no idea who I was. She looked at me with fear in her eyes. She backed away from me, terrified. Soon the doctors wanted to kick me out of the room and never come back but I tried to release myself from them again, pulling me away from her, but the more I resist, the more she got scared of me. It was like if she pulled a switch and erases me from her memory and her life.
I woke up from that horrible nightmare, that really scared me that if that could really happen! It would kill me if she lost her memory and wouldn't remember me and everything we'd lived through. I looked around and see that I was still in the hospital and it was still morning, almost afternoon like 11:30am. As I shake that dream off my head, I got up and started pacing back and forth, desperate and worried. And then my mum walks toward me and hands me a cup of coffee but I refused it, I wasn't in the mood to drink caffeine. (A/N: I don't even know they can even drink caffeine? *shrug*) I continue to pace back and forth, and I was getting a bit annoyed and angry by all this waiting.
"My boy, you have to sit down and calm down" she said
"Why does this keep happening to me, mum? First I lost my Dad, and now I'm about to lose Juliet. THIS ISN'T FAIR, MUM! I yelled in rage.
I didn't mean to yell at my mum or take out all of my anger on her but I was so scared about losing Juliet because I don't want to lose 1 of the 2 women I loved in my life.
"I know, my boy but you have to calm down" she said
Soon the doctor came out and we all rush to him, see if he had some news about Juliet's recovery. Lord Redbrick was the first one to run to him, I tried to stay away from him to prevent a misunderstanding with him or any of the Reds.
"Doctor, how's my daughter? Lord Redbrick asked, desperate
"Ms. Juliet is still very ill and she's still unconscious. She lost a lot of blood, we're gotta have to give her a delicate treatment. And we'll have to keep her here for 3 weeks and we will do what we can to save the girl, so please calm yourselves"
"Poor of my girl, she's so weak" he sighs, pathetically
Ok, now he really passed that line on that comment which made my burst in anger and stand up to him!
"No, no, no! Juliet is not weak, she is a very strong girl and she was very happy with me, you are the one who made her do that. And if she dies, it'll be your fault"
"Listen, boy. I don't need to waste my time arguing with you..."
"Gentlemen, please, right now we have to think about the girl. Since Ms. Juliet is still just a child, the teenage suicide is the 3rd death cause in the world but luckily she was brought just in time" he said and I was so relieved when I heard that she was saved.
"Can I go see her? Lord R asked
"Yes, sir. But Ms. Redbrick ask to see who she calls Gnomeo first before we gave her a medicine to make her sleep for a while" the doctor said and it made me smile but not so much on Lord R's face.
"What? How could this be? I'm her father!
"Please, Lord Redbrick, it's what Ms. Blueberry said"
"DON´T CALL HER THAT! She is not a Blueberry! Her name is Redbrick!
"Lord Redbrick, calm yourself or I'll be forced to call security"
Wow, Lord Redbrick was very furious that Juliet wanted to see me first than anybody and there is also the fact that Juliet was my wife and that I gave her my last name and I was pretty sure that he would find a way to blame me again for the suicide of his daughter. But that wasn't important right now, the important thing that she gets saved.
I slowly open the door and closed it behind me, looking at my poor Red angel, with her eyes closed. I heard the machines and monitors beep, up and down, my biggest fear was that those monitors could make that dead beep sound and she could die at any moment and that worried me and it put me desperate. (A/N: BEEP... BEEP... BEEEEEEEEP...! HAHAHA!*) She had those tubes up her nose and her wrists were bandaged, and she looked so pale. There were I.V's with sacks of blood next to her. The doctor did say that she lost a lot of blood and I felt that maybe her suicide was my fault and if she dies, I die with her. (A/N: Total original ending cliché. OH, KILL ME! :P)
I lean in front of her and held her hand...
"Here I am, Juliet. I need you, please tell me you're going to get through this, please. You're still my wife and we still have a lot of things to do together. I know we just got married but I want you to be the mother of our children, but you just have to hang on there" I kiss her hand but she was still sound asleep, so I stayed with her.
Then my mum comes in the room and comforts me, rubbing my shoulders.
"Don't worry, my boy. She's going to get through this, so you 2 can be together and you're going to have a beautiful life, all of us because we're all going to help her" she whisper softly.
"Juliet, don't die, please" I sob while stroking her cheek.
(Hours Later...)
Still Gnomeo´s POV
I waited patiently in the room with my mum; I stayed in the hospital for hours for some news about my wife, but not avail. I watched her sleep like the sleeping beauty she is but I was getting desperate, like really desperate.
"She won't wake up and it's been hours, mum. I'm starting to get desperate"
"Hey, hey. The doctor said that we had to wait, we need to have faith, my boy" she said softly.
"Do you think she heard everything I said to her?
"I'm sure she did, everything"
"I don't like how her father treats her, I mean; look at what he's made her do"
"Yeah, me neither but I'm pretty sure that after seeing how miserable and abandon his daughter was feeling, it'll open his eyes but for now, we have to wait until she wakes up"
"Thanks for understanding that I love her, mum and I'm sorry I ran away, I just wanted to know real happiness for the first time in my life and she gave me that" I kissed her cheek and we look back at Juliet.
"It's so terrible that a girl like her, so young and so beautiful that had to pass something so horrible. Like what she did, not wanting to live anymore, but it's so scary how she wanted to die" she sighs, rubbing my shoulders.
Suddenly, Juliet was moving, moaning in pain and her eyes were starting to flutter and I gasp. I was so relieved that she was starting to react. I really thought she was going to leave me.
"Mum, she's waking up! I exclaim
"Yes, I better go to leave you 2 alone, I'll go get the doctor" Lady B left the room
Then I turn my attention back to her. I got down on my knees and held her hands as I watch her sleep. "My love, I want you to know that I know you are fighting for you, for me. They don't understand about us because they don't know the kind of girl you are, I know there you're one of those that don't quit that easily"
I got closer to her "Oh, when are you gonna wake up, my love, my sleeping beauty? I lean closer and I kissed her sweet red lips, they felt a little cold but I didn't mind.
Still feeling so weak, Juliet was breathing deeply and she slowly opened her eyes and she looked at me, confused but I smiled at her. She squinted at me, still so weak and trying to find a way to talk to me.
"Juliet?
"I'm alive? Or is this a dream? She asks weak, trying to open her eyes.
I gasp and light up a smile and lean closer to her and hugged her in my arms, letting all my worries and fears of losing her vanish from my mind. I felt her so cold and shake, I cup her head in hands and I saw that her eyes turned pine green instead of her shiny esmerald green. I looked at her dead in the face and she looked tired and weak and I pushed her back on her pillow and I held her hand.
"What happen? What did I do wrong? She ask, weakly
"What you did wrong"? Juliet, what you did was nothing good. What would it be of me if you die? Can't you see how much I love you? I confess, slightly mad.
"Yes. I can see that and I don't want you to get mad but sometimes it isn't enough. I need another type of love, not just yours"
"What's that type of love? I ask
"The love from my dad and my garden but they never did"
"Don't you ever scare me like that again" I stroke her cheek
She places her hand on mine "Forgive me, Gnomeo. I thought this was the only way. But I can see that this won't change anything"
"You risk so much that it makes me feel so guilty for letting this happen to you"
"No, this was my decision. This isn't your fault"
"Why'd you do it? I asked
"I was so scared, Gnomeo, I was so scared for you. I felt that I didn't have the strength to live without you. After what happen to you, I thought I lost you forever, how did you save yourself?
"Listen to me, with the little strength in me left, I manage to get back to my garden and there my mum cured me but I never stopped thinking about you because I love you, Jules"
"I don't get it" she looked away from me
"What do you don't get? I asked, confused
"That you still love me after everything I made you suffer. It's my fault you almost got killed, it's my fault you went to jail, it's my fault you're hurt" she felt guilty
But I smiled at her "None of that matters, what's important is that you're alive and I'm here for you and I'm never leaving your side, even though this was a huge risk for getting myself killed again"
"If anything happens to you, I die" she strokes his cheek and he smiles
"No, that will never happen again" I said and kissed her hand
Suddenly, she looked toward a different direction and I did too and there in the doorway was Lord Redbrick standing.
"Dad? She squint, breathing deeply
"Here I am, my girl. I'm so glad you're still alive"
"Well, I'll leave you 2 alone" I said, making my way out
But Lord R stops me "No, Gnomeo, please stay. I need to speak with both of you"
"Well, go ahead, yell at me, scream at me, punish me because I give up, you win" Juliet says, disappointed.
"You're right, I should punish you..." he starts and it upset Juliet even more.
"... but I won't" he finishes
"What did you say? She asked, shocked
"I realized that what you have done opened my eyes to the truth. I realize that I have been blinded by my hate and anger all these years and you tried to tell me a bunch of times and I never listen to you, even your mother tried to tell me but I ignore her too. But not anymore, and I decided to put away my hate aside to show you how much I love you and to show you that I want something so grand that can only come from you"
"What's that? She asks
"Your forgiveness" he says
Juliet's eyes wide in shock "You want me to forgive you? After all this years of solitude and mistreating me?
"I know I don't deserve it but you need to hear me when I'm telling you that I'm sorry and that I love you and I regret everything that I did to you and your mother. Now I see that my overprotection got out of control and blinded me to see how miserable you were. So, do you believe and forgive me?
"Get out, Dad. I'm going to think about it" she demanded, looking away from him and he left the room.
"So, what are you going to do? I asked her
"I don't know, Gnomeo. You don't know all the pain he caused me all these years. He ignore me, he hit me and he even tried to kill you because after this, I know he'll never accept us"
"Juliet, I don't wanna be cruel but you have to forgive him since he meant what he said and that he's sorry. And if he doesn't let us be together, it won't stop me from being with you"
"Yeah, you're right. I love you" I smile and place her hand on my cheek.
"I love you too; that´s why I was so scared of losing you, my Red" I smile and kissed her sweetly.
"So, have you made your decision, Juliet? Lord R asked as he came back in the room.
Juliet gave him a sneaky grin "Alright, Dad. I forgive you but on one condition..."
"What? Anything, my girl. What is it?
A smirk grew on Juliet's face as she thought of what she wanted from father...
OOOH! This is getting good! I wonder what she will ask him? Any ideas?
Another thing, would it weird if Gnomeo and Juliet had cell phones or iPhones and they can call and text eachother, that would be cool and funny and a bit weird, don't u think? Unless they have unlimited texting and a full year plan. OH, I'm FUNNY! *cricket chirping* Wow, tough crowd
Anyways, PLEASE tell me u agree with me, huh, huh?
BTW, Did I tell you guys it's my birthday today? I WANT PRESENTS!* and your reviews! LUV U! ;D
