Oh, what a day to lament and mourn. This day could not be any other day. Another Capulet, an Escalus, and a Montague? That night, my Uncle Capulet and Lord Montague refurbished an ancient grudge that led to new mutiny. Grievance and loss may have been the only key to unlocking the door of peace between the two families. Do not worry Uncle. Juliet is never alone and she will never be. By day or by night, I will await the day when heaven picks us up and brings us to His kingdom. I have let the honorable Capulet name down, but the truth hath be told more talk of these sad things only fate holds what the future may bring.
Now, as I stood in silence, Romeo popped out a little vial of what seemed to be poison. He went on with his words then gulped down its content and ended his own life. Next thing I knew, Friar Lawrence was standing beside Juliet in her tomb. Oh, what a relief it was to see that my dear coz had risen up from the grips of death. She saw her love's dead body laying next to her and went ballistic. Maybe love fools lovers that dare to love. I tried to talk to her in any way that I could, but she got Romeo's dagger and stabbed herself. Now, I was dead and so was Juliet. Heaven was not expecting Juliet this soon.
After Juliet's "death" I stayed with her in her tomb, making sure nobody was to harm and also to give me some company. Since my home was now in a new world than Juliet's I figured she would like to temporarily accompany me. I heard something outside the tomb, so I came out and saw Paris and Romeo approaching from opposite directions. Paris seemed to be with a servant. He seemed to be doing nothing out of the usual, just mourning the death of his potential wife. So, I went back inside and suspected nothing. I saw Romeo dig the entrance to the tomb and saw Paris nowhere in sight. Just then, I saw Paris's body laying still on the ground. Now, Romeo was to be held accountable for two deaths! He killed the Prince's kin. That is one of the most grave sins he could have committed. Didn't he realize how many mishaps he had encountered because of my death and now he sure had no way to escape the grips of death. Romeo is accountable for his own action. Maybe he hasn't learned much in Mantua
