Chapter thirty-two: Monsoon


Juliet stood in front of the mirror, only herself looking back. Her eyes drooped as she looked through the mirror and back to her window; it was raining again, maybe the gods felt how she felt? Who knows; she walked over to her window sill and sat and watched as the skies tears tapped against the glass. Suddenly, tears ran down her cheeks, why was she crying? She was thinking of Jimmy.

He hurt her, but she missed him—she still loved him.

--

She laid her head down on her pillow, it was Friday and after school—it was raining—there was nothing to do but cry and read. So, closed her eyes and wept; she missed Jimmy more than anything—she wanted his warm lips on hers and his arms around her as she slept… but he was with Pinky. She saw him kissing her in the hallways when she was going to apologize for her outburst… maybe he didn't really care after all.


Derby punched the punching bag as hard as he could—he found his Pinky making out with Hopkins; Hopkins! Out of all the poor people she could make out with! Hopkins! Just thinking about it made his blood boil, he hated this—he wanted to punch Hopkins's life out of him, but he tried that once before and didn't work out.

Wiping his sweating forehead with his wrists, the door opened and in stepped Pinky—oh how to two had lots to catch up on.


Beatrice walked down the girl's dormitories' hallway; towards Juliet's room. She wasn't in Chemistry today, nor was she in P.E. she wanted to see if she was okay. Walking, not caring to knock, she saw that Juliet was 'sleeping' in bed. Beatrice grinned and walked over to push Juliet over, while doing so Juliet didn't move. Her skin was awfully cold. Beatrice, now worried, shook her with all her strength and finally Juliet made a groaning noise. Turning over, Juliet looked up to Beatrice with blood-shot eyes.

"That's it!" Beatrice yelled over the blasting music coming from Mandy's room. Juliet looked taken back.

"What?"

"Either you're talking to Jimmy or I am: make your choice!" Juliet looked up at her.

"Why?"

"Why?" Beatrice asked back, "because you've been crying for god knows how many weeks and it's sad, depressing, and bad for you not to be eating!" Juliet looked up at the ceiling.

"Have you ever thought about death?" It was Beatrice's turn to be taken back.

"What?"

"Ya' know, like how everyone's lives would just so much better if you weren't ever born? Like my dad: he wouldn't have to worry, or hit me. You: you wouldn't need to babysit me twenty-four/seven… and Jimmy… well you know." Beatrice looked her friend.

"Never think that," Juliet looked at her, "my life, and everyone's life would be terrible. You're my only friend that's a girl… I can talk to you about anything… with Jimmy… I know he loves you. Your dad…" Beatrice took a breather.

"My dad what?" Juliet asked, her eyes stinging.

"Your dad hits you?" Juliet looked up at the ceiling.

"Did I say that?"
"Kinda." Juliet chuckled.

"Well, he does; surprised? Now, what about my thought: I think I should kill myself." Beatrice looked at her, mad by her thought and slammed the door and stormed down the hall.


(A/N: OOO, that topic; I have that thought everyday. Hope you've enjoyed only a few more chapters 'till 'Unchained Melody' ends! Then the sequel –-')
