Hey guys, I'm alive! I just slept late xD Alright, here's Chapter 4 for y'all :)
Juliet's P.O.V.
I ran to where the Orchid once was. Now all that was there was a big chunk of hail. I looked around nervously until I finally found the orchid. Its stem was caught under another chunk of hail. I lifted it carefully and pulled the orchid out from underneath. Its stem was almost lifeless and the petals were nearly withering. This orchid meant so much to me. If it dies now, I don't know what I'll do. Just then, Gnomeo came into the greenhouse and found me clutching the orchid in my hands. I stood up to face him. I felt my eyes tearing up a little. I don't know why I was so upset. It was just a flower. No, it wasn't just a flower; This is the reason Gnomeo and I met; The reason we fell in love. Now it's half dead. Gnomeo looked down at the orchid, then at me.
"Oh, Gnomeo." I whimpered, running into his arms. He pulled me into a hug and stroked my hat to try to calm me down. "Shh, it's okay, Jules." he whispered.
I sniffed and looked up at him. "No, it's not okay. This flower means the world to the two of us. It can't die, now." I sobbed.
"Juliet, look at me," he instructed, putting a finger under my chin and propping my head up so our eyes met, "It means a lot to us, I know, but it's done its job. Now we're together, and it'll give us a whole other patch of orchids for us to grow...Together." he finished, brushing his hand against my cheek. He was right. I just wish I could've saved it. I held it tight in my hands, and then looked back at Gnomeo. "I know…" I whispered. I turned around to where the orchid once blossomed and walked over there. I removed the chunk of hail from its spot, and then placed the orchid back in the ground.
"I'm sure it'll come through." Gnomeo assured me, taking my hand into his.
"I know it will." I smiled.

Nanette's P.O.V.
It's been quite a long time since I last saw Juliet and her new husband. Plus, it was only 6 days till Christmas. I couldn't wait to see her again! I had such good news for her! In the meantime, Paris and I were somehow always caught up in Lord Redbrick's conversations and babbling about how much he missed Juliet and how he wishes he could've done more for her. I was never sure how to respond but the best I could do was remind him about how strong Juliet was and that she was going to be alright and she had Gnomeo to take care of her. Then of course, we go into a long conversation about what could go wrong with Gnomeo taking care of her. This was going to be a long 6 more days going by without my best friend.
Benny's P.O.V.
It's been a long month without Gnomeo around. I tried bonding with Tybalt but it was hard without Gnomeo helping me out with things to talk about. I wasn't the best conversation starter, so it was hard to try to make friends with the reds. This feud ended so suddenly. I'm not sure what to do, now. I felt so lonely without him. Lady B told me to try talking to that frog who was apparently Gnomeo's wife's best friend. But I still wasn't sure where to begin. Oh Gnomeo, where are you now when I need you?

Gnomeo's P.O.V.
I was really nervous for Christmas. Sure, I was really happy to spend it with my wonderful wife, but I was scared to go to the 'once-red-and-blue' garden. What if no one's getting along? How do our parents feel about this? Are they getting along? I was grateful that they were putting aside their differences for us, but what if they secretly still can't stand each other? The question made my head ache. But as long as Juliet and I were happy, nothing could go wrong. I was really hopeful, at least.
Sorry for the short chapters, guys. I'm lazy, okay xD But hey, thanks for supporting me since I'm new to the whole fan-fiction thing. It means so much to me! :D Everybody is SO NICE! I can't thank you guys enough. :) Love you all!
