The Start of a New Beginning


Tonight my parents, Lord and Lady Capulet, held a party for friends of the family to reunite and have a good time. My mom had asked me to dance with her and a couple of her close friends. Of course I did it for my mom, but I didn’t want to actually dance. I’m glad that I got out on that dance floor because as I was dancing I glanced over to the corner and saw the most gorgeous boy that I had ever laid eyes on. His hair aligned perfectly on top of his eyes and the way he was leaning against the pillar gave me goose bumps. As he looked my way, I turned away to look like I wasn’t trying to stare at his uncontrollably good looks. After I had finished dancing with my mother, he came up to me behind the pillar and told me how beautiful he thought I was. I told him that I thought he was gorgeous and he kissed me, over and over again. As soon as he did this, he left so that it wasn’t suspicious that a Montague and a Capulet were seen together. Ever since he kissed me, I can’t stop thinking about him and how amazing he is.

Secret Wedding

The man I met yesterday and fell in love with asked for me to marry him. Even though Romeo and I have only known each other for a day or so, I feel like he is the love of my life. Every second I spend with him my heart pounds out of my chest. Romeo makes my heart skip a beat every time I see his face full of elegance and beauty. He asked me to marry him, and of course I agreed to. Who would say no to marry Romeo Montague? We couldn’t get married legally by ourselves without an elder to marry us, so Romeo went to Friar Lawrence. Romeo asked Friar Lawrence to marry us and Friar Lawrence said yes because he thought our marriage would bring the Montague’s and the Capulet’s together. To me, it doesn’t matter if our families come together, as long as I am in Romeo’s arms and his wife, nothing else matters. When Romeo went to Friar Lawrence, I asked the Nurse to find the news out from Romeo. As the Nurse came back today, she wouldn’t tell me the news and I had to pry it out of her. I finally received the good news and now I can’t wait to live the rest of my life with the one I truly love.

The Plan for Marriage

The minute I saw my mother walk into my room as Romeo was leaving, I knew something horrible was going to happen. I was crying at the fact that Romeo was being banished from Verona when she walked in, not about my cousin, Tybalt, dying in a brawl between himself and Romeo. I told my mother I was furious with Romeo for killing my beloved cousin, but in reality I had absolutely no hate towards him. My father approached the bedroom and came into the room to have a word with me. He was telling me that I would be wed to Paris soon. I didn’t know what to say because I didn’t want to tell my parents I was already married to Romeo and I didn’t want to marry Paris either. My father started yelling at me when I refused to marry Paris, the man my dad chose to marry me. The Nurse helped me out, but in the end I was still to be married to Paris because I can’t go against my father’s word. My parents left because they had enough, and the Nurse was still there to console me. She was giving me advice, but as soon as she told me to actually marry Paris I couldn’t believe my ears. She was the one that helped me and Romeo get married. I just hope they all realize, I will be “dying” and marrying no one by the name of Paris.

Romeo's Death


Why did Romeo have to poison himself? I was only sleeping to get out of the marriage with Paris! Now that Romeo is gone, what am I to do with my life? It has no significance anymore without the love of my life by my side. My future will be dull and meaningless so why should I live when my love has died. This is the absolute worst thing that has happened to me. I can’t live in this world any longer without the enemy, Romeo, speaking to me everyday and living life with me, I might as well end my life to be with him in heaven and to see his beautiful face once again. No one can make me change my mind on whether or not I should take myself out of this wretched world. The life I am living has already been ended by the fake death used to cancel the arranged marriage. Now that the person that made my life worth living has died, I shall die also. I will take a dagger and pierce it through my heart so that I don’t have to feel the pain of losing my other half. Killing me would cause less pain than a life lived without Romeo. To all, I say farewell.
