Alright, I left you guys of at a bad point last time xD Well, time to make up for that! Here's chapter 8 :D
Benny's P.O.V.
Tybalt and I were supposed to be and Gnomeo and Juliet's hours ago! But we were kind of held up by Spot. There's just no way out past him! I wanted to be there for Gnomeo! I wanted to see him so bad! I wonder what he's doing right now…
Gnomeo's P.O.V.
No! He did not just say Juliet was going home! She's my wife! I need her! I can't let this happen!
"She…she's leaving?" I asked Redbrick nervously, feeling my heart aching.
"Yes. I'm afraid you have not proved yourself responsible enough for my little girl." he replied. My heart felt like it had just shattered into millions of pieces. No. Please, not my Juliet. Not on Christmas. Not ever…
"But…But how?! How has he not proven himself!?" Juliet questioned her father sternly, looking like she was about to cry.
"I'll tell you later. Now come on, we're leaving." Redbrick demanded.
"No! I'm not leaving my husband! There is no way that you can just take me away from him, dad!" she cried. My eyes started to water.
"Juliet, we will talk about this later. You can come with me and make this much easier or stay and fight yourself because I'm not changing my mind. You will be coming home." he told her sternly. I felt myself about to shed a tear. Juliet froze. She was already crying, but silently. She turned to me and put a hand on my cheek.
"I'll come back for you, I promise." she whispered to me as I shed a tear. I took her hand and bowed my head.
"I don't want you to go." I whispered.
"There's no use in fighting my dad about this. I'm never gonna change his mind, but he can't keep me from you." she whispered back. She pulled me into a tight hug and cried softly. I held her close. This might be the last time I get to hold her.
"Come on, Juliet." her father informed her. Juliet pulled out of the hug and let go of my hand slowly. Then she followed her dad without another word. I felt all eyes of everyone in the garden watching them leave. This was the end.
No. No it's not! I love Juliet and I'm not gonna let this happen to her!
"I told you Juliet, he's just not the guy." I hear Redbrick say. That's it. I ran towards the microphone and picked it up angrily.
"You know what, stop!" I yelled into the microphone, getting everyone's attention; especially Redbrick and Juliet. "I am the guy! Juliet is the best thing that's ever happened to me and I'm not letting anyone get in the way of that! If anyone tried to harm her in any way, I'll smash them with my bear hands! She makes me laugh, she makes me happy, and she's my whole world! And if anything happens to her, I will not rest until she's laughing again and showing the beautiful smile she has. I'll never let anyone come between us again. And she's got guts. She's strong, brave, beautiful, intelligent, mesmerizing, talented, caring, optimistic, fun, friendly, and loving. She's done so much for me, so I'm always gonna do the same for her, even if it means getting crushed by a thousand mowers. And I'm not leaving her no matter what. Put that in your little notebook." I yelled. I just poured out all my feelings to Juliet's father. I am so dead meat. But I saw Juliet smiling bigger than ever. I can tell she wanted to run up and hug me but she stayed put. Lord Redbrick walked up to me sternly. Everyone's eyes were on us. Juliet's smile dropped and she looked as nervous as I did. "Is this the part where you make me disappear?" I asked nervously. But Lord Redbrick smiled! He put a hand on my shoulder. What's going on?
"You did it, Blue. You proved your love for my daughter; you stood up for her! That's what I wanted to hear. No guy Juliet's been with had ever stood up for her. She's all yours." he exclaimed with a smiled. I smiled even bigger. Then I hugged him! But after a few seconds, he hugged me back. I saw Juliet headed for us. She leaped into my arms and gave me and even bigger hug. I hugged her back, never wanting to let her go. Then she turned to her dad and hugged him.
"Thank you, daddy." she whispered.
"What kind of dad would I be if I took you away from someone who cares so much about you." he said with a smile.
"But he cares about you, too. That's why he got you a present." Juliet told him, handing him the present I got him. I stood nervously. But Redbrick opened his present and pulled out a picture frame decorated with red tulips and blue letters that spelled out FAMILY. He smiled and hugged me!
"Thank you, Gnomeo. Merry Christmas." he smiled.
I smiled back, feeling over-joyed. "Merry Christmas, sir." I chuckled.
"Please, call me 'dad.'" he told me. My smile grew bigger as I hugged him again. I heard a few cheers from the gnomes. Juliet budded in and pulled her dad and I into a hug with her. Then we heard the garden door slam open.
"Merry Christmas!" Benny and Tybalt yelled. I laughed and ran down to hug them. Tybalt surprisingly hugged back.
"Where have you guys been?" Juliet questioned slightly chuckling.
"We'll explain later." Benny laughed, shaking Juliet's hand. It's good to see them getting along.
"Hey, wanna join us? We're about to roast marshmallows." I invited them.
"Yeah, sure." Tybalt replied. Then we walked over to sit down with everyone.
After eating marshmallows and a cheer with our hot cocoa, everyone was tired and ready to go home. Juliet looked like she was falling asleep already. "Hey, sorry this Christmas didn't turn out to be the best." I apologized.
"Are you kidding? As long as I'm with you, any Christmas is the best Christmas." she smiled, putting her hand in mine. I kept my arm around her and pulled her into a kiss.
After everyone left, we plopped into bed and flicked the light off and our thoughts disappeared into this beautiful night. And life couldn't get any better as long as Juliet was by my side.
Aww, happy ending! :D But the story's not over yet. No no no. There's more where that came from. See you in the next chapter where a new little adventure will come up. ;)
