I hate the way I love her. She doesn’t love me back. I love her hair. Her lips. And her eyes. Her eyes are like a globe that never stops spinning.


It’s the afternoon and I’m getting my cloths set for tomorrow. I see the shirt I was wearing the night she shot me. It whent threw my arm. But it hurt more in my heart. Just the thought makes the blood drain from my face. I thought I could feel her energy. She WANTED to be WITH ME.

But I was wrong. She loves…Adam.


Juliette walks in to my room. Our room. I don’t know. I sense her emotions. It’s different. It feels like the color red. It’s firey and passionate. It’s on the edge of violent and calm energy. She looks at me with the widest eyes. A blue green. Turquoise.

“Why are you looking at me like that” she says brightly

“Sorry I’ll just be leaving now” but she cuts me off

“No” she says a little to fast “no don’t go. I-I want to talk”

I’m so tired of getting mixed signals. I do not want to talk. “ love, I can’t do this” I turn to leave. I freeze in my tracks when she blurts.

_“I love you “_

No.no she can’t.it must be a trap.

“No you don’t “ I say coming out more harsh then I intended

“Yes I do. I loved you for ever. I was just so mixed up with Adam I couldn’t see you.”

I run to her and scoop her into my arms. I kiss her till we fall asleep. Right be fore she drifts off. I whisper “ I love you Juliette”
