Author's Note: I was thinking of holding some sort of contest, but I have no idea what kind of prize to give out. What I was going to do was hold like, a FMV (fan music video) contest for whoever could come up with an awesome FMV for one of the songs on the playlist. I was thinking that maybe the winner could get the chance to co-write with me for the Sequel, but it made me think 'what makes my story so special that someone would want to co-write the sequel with me?' But then I got a look at my hit list and saw that it has almost 500 views! So maybe people would be interested. So I think that's what I'll do. I'll put the details in my profile!
Disclaimer: I obviously don't own this otherwise you'd see it on TV.

::Justin's PoV::
The weeks flew by, filled with nearly shameless flirting, occasional hand holding, and the sneaked kiss here and there. As Halloween drew closer, I became more worried that Juliet would show up unexpected. I was a nervous wreck three days before, and refused to see Draco for it. Instead, I skipped out on a potions class and stayed in my room thinking about how I was going to break up with Juliet. I came up with nothing, and refused Alex when she offered to do it for me. I was going to be a man about it, but I felt like a girl for some reason.
The night of the Masquerade was the night she was supposed to show up, Halloween Eve. I stayed in my room, I didn't get dressed up in costume, and I didn't let Harry and Ron drag me to the party. The hours went by, the sun went down, and still no Juliet. Maybe I was off the hook and she wasn't coming. Then I could put it off for a little while longer and come up with a real plan.
I was drawn out of my thoughts by a knock on the door. Draco stood there, flexing his wrist and letting his fingers run over the ink on his arm. "It's eleven thirty. I figured I'd come check on you." I felt a small smile press onto my lips, but it was short lived.
"She hasn't shown up yet." He nodded, leaning against the door jamb and playing with the hem of his sleeve. He'd either changed already, or hadn't gone to the party. I was guessing the latter, and somehow I wasn't surprised. "I still don't know what to do."
"I'll do it."
"I'm not letting you do it." I almost snapped, and he held up his hands. "Sorry. You should get out of here though." He didn't say anything as he left, and I was hurt. Maybe he wouldn't go far. I wanted to call him back, but I knew I couldn't. My watch ticked on my wrist, and I literally watched ten minutes pass by.
"So deep in thought. That's my Justin." I looked up, and Juliet stood in the window with a smile on her face. My heart sunk, because I knew what I had to do. I stood from my bed, and she hopped down from the window to greet me. We hugged, and I looked at her as she stood in my arms. It felt almost weird to be taller.
"I was waiting, Juliet." She smiled, and I gave her a half smile.
"Yeah, sorry about that. My dad insisted we stop in Iceland for some elk." I swear I would never get used to that. A part of me mocked that, saying I didn't have to anymore. "So what now?" She asked me, and only one part of me answered correctly. I break up with you. But I wanted to wait just a little bit longer.
"Let's just sit and catch up for a bit." She smiled and nodded, and I gave her an honest smile. Maybe my last little while with her could be positive before I broke her. "So what's been going on in New York while I've been gone?" She could have talked endlessly, and I tried listening to every word. But my mind kept nagging at me and telling me that I had to get it over with. I didn't want this thing I had with Juliet to end. It was the last thing I wanted to do. My mom and dad were just getting used to the fact that I was dating a vampire. I didn't know how they'd react when they found out I'd dumped the vampire for a male wizard.
At exactly five minutes before midnight, Juliet stood from my bed and moved towards the window. "I'm sorry I can't stay, Justin. But my mom wanted me to get more acquainted with the family before I came back. I should head back." I stood, sighing. Maybe I could play it up.
"Do you really need to go?" I hugged her to me, and Juliet wrapped her arms around me. "Well, don't worry. Before you know it, we'll be seeing each other again." I said with my chest hurting with the lie. When Juliet looked up at me, I could tell she wanted a kiss just like at prom. I smiled, leaning down to press my lips to hers. Kissing her was much different that kissing Draco. I could control the kiss, where as with Draco I had mere seconds of control before he took over. Right now, my brain wracked itself for a solution to my problem. As we kissed, I could feel Draco's eyes on me, but I knew he wasn't there. I pulled away and whispered to Juliet. "I'm sorry… the memories of us were great, but there's nothing to negotiate, send Juliet to her family, and take from her the memory of me."
I stepped back just as I finished the spell, and she popped out of the room. I could only hope that whatever happened now was for the best. I hoped I was making the right decision. My knees buckled beneath me, and I dropped down to the floor with my back against Harry's bed. I heard the footsteps come into my room, but didn't register them until Draco sat next to me and put his arm around me.
"You okay?" I shook my head, leaning into him. I was angry with him, but I felt more than anything that I needed his attention. He stayed there, and I stayed there. Harry and Ron wouldn't be returning for the night. I knew that Ron was planning to spend the night with Hermione, and Harry was planning something that had to do with my sister. I regretted not listening to his plans now, because I probably could have used my sister more than Draco at that moment. With a sigh, Draco lifted my wrist and looked at my watch. I caught a peek and saw that it was 12:01 in the morning. "Is this it?"
"Yeah." I nodded, tucking my head into his neck and shutting my eyes. "That's it." I didn't even realize I'd fallen asleep until I woke up in my bed. I was under the blankets, still dressed minus my robes, and Draco lay over the blankets sleeping as well. Had he moved me while I slept? I was that worn out from the whole thing, apparently. I looked around the room, my eyes adjusting to the darkness. Both beds to either side of me were still empty, as they should have been. I wondered where Harry had ended up, but the thought slipped away as Draco shifted next to me in his sleep.
When I looked at him sleeping, I felt suddenly at peace. I still hurt from earlier, but I knew somewhere deep inside that I'd made the right choice in the long run.
