I tore my eyes from Mercutio and fixed them to Romeo, unable to stand the sight of him. “I—I’ll be here. Come back and tell me—tell me if he’s okay.”

I wheezed and panted, trying to find the words— the energy, to beg Marina to come with me.

“I’ll text you from his phone. Hang in there.” Romeo gave her a sympathetic look before he started walking away, dragging me with him. Pazza…

(( That's it! You two have won! THE ONE STORY THAT CURB-STOMPED MY HEART IN 2019! Congrats! Here's your $100 mil…. In tears cries))

(Sorry Loti.. XD, we’re glad you like it so much)

I pressed my hand to my mouth, stifling a tiny whimper as Mercutio was taken farther and farther away from me. Stay safe…. please stay safe…

Romeo’s POV

It had been about four hours since we left the school in the back of an ambulance. Mercutio was passed out on a hospital bed next to me with more stitches than I could count. They said his condition was stable— the doctors that sewed him by together like a patchwork quilt.

I grabbed Mercutio’s phone and unlocked it, opening his messages to Marina. I resisted the urge to scroll through them and texted her immediately.

ROMEO: He’s alive.

I was in English class when my phone buzzed, trying to soldier through my intense boredom. At first, I thought it was Juliet, who was absent and refusing to reply to my mountain of texts, but when I saw the name on the screen—

I left the class as soon as possible, stumbling into the washroom to reply.

MARINA: Is he stable?? Is he awake?? Can I talk to him??

ROMEO: Stable, but unconscious. Im waiting for the anesthesia to wear off him

MARINA: oh, thank god

ROMEO: So you two…

MARINA: oh. Uh. Yeah.

ROMEO: How long?

MARINA: a few weeks. Rat us out and I’ll murder you.

ROMEO: I wouldn’t do that. You know I wouldn’t.

MARINA: no, i don’t. Are you upset?

ROMEO: No.

MARINA: why?

ROMEO: I had suspicions for awhile.

MARINA: oh. Can I ask you something?

ROMEO: You can ask, but there’s no guarantee I’ll answer.

MARINA: are you still in love with my best friend?

ROMEO: Pass.

MARINA: tell me. I won’t tell her.

ROMEO: Let’s just say we both made our feelings about each other pretty clear.

MARINA: you still haven’t answered my question.
