A terrible tragedy happened tonight! Tybalt, the cousin of Juliet, was killed by Romeo, her new husband! I had to go tell Juliet this terrible news. I entered her room and she pounced on me and questioned me about what had happened. The tears were gushing out of my eyes and all I could say was "he's dead." I then told her I couldn't believe it was Romeo! I described the event to her and she got extremely emotional about it. My tears were drowning my hears and I could not really hear what Juliet was saying, but I did manage to hear her say something about her broken heart. I knew she and Tybalt were close, but his death broke her heart? I was quite confused at this. I told her Tybalt was one of my best friends, one of the only honest and true gentleman I knew. Then Juliet asked who was dead, Romeo or Tybalt? I told her Tybalt was murdered by Romeo. I also told her the Prince banished Romeo from Verona and is never allowed to come back.
Juliet was in a state of great confusion at this point. She was so upset her cousin was dead and even more upset that her newly wed husband was the one who had killed him. She kept referring to Romeo and many oppositional words, like an honorable villain and what not. As following Juliet's footsteps, I also spoke ill of him. Oh, but she would have none of that! She criticized herself for speaking ill of her husband. With Romeo being banned, her husband would not be allowed to be with her. Poor girl. Juliet was so upset her husband had been banished before Romeo could take her maidenhead. Her first love being taken away, it's just so sad.
I then remembered where Romeo was hiding for the time being, Friar Lawrence's cell! I thought of a brilliant, yet risky idea. I would go find Romeo and get him to say his last goodbyes to Juliet. Before I set off, Juliet gave me a ring to give her husband. The ring was to represent their love. So I left my sweet girl, crying on her bead, alone. I hated to it to her, but I had to go out and find Romeo.
