Why didn't you call Gregory? I don't have a phone. Craig nod, he is wondering what happened to her phone for the pass two days.

She brings out her mirror, she see that the make up is damage with sweat, she start taking it off.

Why are you taking it off? It's awful.

No, it's not, just take the lipstick off and apply lip balm.

Okay, she wipe and apply the lip balm, Craig look at her, he turned his face because at this point he wants to lock his lips with hers.

The light appear on her face, she is so stress that she didn't try to practice before that day, now she just arrived and the next thing she is on stage.

Gregory know she is scared, he wanted to say something, Craig is already seated in the audience, he wink at her.

She smiled and fall her face.

Come on mom! Eve voice came up.

Where do I start from? Whitney want to tell her to start from anywhere but she continues.

If I don't get married to Romeo, my life will be ruin, how could dad want to marry me off, he knows my heart belongs to another but he still want him for me, how can I stay without my Romeo.

She raise the corner of her lips in a smile.

it's a good thing, I was able to get this pills from the priest, after drinking this, I will fall asleep and everyone will think I am dead then my Romeo, my happiness will come from me, I am sure, when Romeo received my letter, he will come from me, he understands my pain, he is there for me whenever I am in pain, he knows am in pain even when he is not here with me.

She smiled, she remembers savior

He reads my every thought, when I call he appear, he is my knight, my light when all is dark, he is my sun when it's raining, my rainbow after a heavy rain. My Romeo will come, I know he will come, I will wait for him, to take me away, there we will live happily ever after. Yes, I will drink, I will wait for my Romeo.

She drink the pills and fall down, they show Eve.

Oh Juliet, she has taken the pills, is her Romeo going to understand the letter or he will misinterpret it, let's see what Romeo will do when he meet her.

Eve realize that her uncle Tony is not there.

Oh no, Tony is not here, who is going to do that for her? Whitney asked

So you are still expecting that boy to be here? Gregory asked Whitney, hey you should go up and act as Romeo, he shrugged. What did you mean by that?

I can't... I.. am...

Gregory want to scold him but a voice comes up at the stage.

Juliet! He call, his voice is soft, Cathy wonder who the person is, the light move from her to the person, it's Craig.

My love, my heartbeat, my painkiller, my addiction, my happiness and my madness

He touch her cheeks.

why did you not wait for me? Now Cathy realized it's Craig. You should know that, when you not here with me, is like hell, I could take bruise for you, a thousand times, I could go against anyone for you. why did you not wait for me? You know that I can't endure the pain when you are sad and when you are not here, I am empty, I am like a space box

She want to open her eyes and see his face, for a second, she felt like he is telling her his true feeling.

It crazy, I know you could be naughty sometimes but I like it when you are stubborn, I want to scold you, I want to punish you but my heart break when you are hurt, so I just let it pass, when you are childish, I find it interesting and when you snored..

Cathy frown a bit and talk to herself.

Do I snore? Craig know from the look of her face that she is thinking if she snore, he smirked abit, he resume his sad face

Of cause, you do, they are like music to me, now you left my life, how do I cope?

His tears drop, Cathy felt it on her cheeks

Now that you are no more, how can I live? Why did you not wait for me? I will always come but then you hurt me again, you are always hurting me with the discussion you take, you are leaving me, don't you feel sorry for me, I get hurt when you leave.

Gregory shake his head, he knows that each word Craig used are true, the tears he share, are his pain not just acting, his cousin is addicted, will this girl save him from his addiction.

To Cathy, the words are just acting but to him, that is the fact, his words is his true feelings for her.

Here, it's a good thing, I brought this poison, now I will drink it, where you are is where I will be, I will love you now and until we meet again, for you my love, I will take my life. I love you.

He drink the poison, he cough, held his chest and fall on Cathy, the light move to Eve.

Oh! Poor thing, now Romeo as misinterpreted her words, how will she cope when she wakes up, how will she takes it? Watch.

She point at them again, Cathy pushed Craig away from her chest slightly, want to talk but Craig eyes where open, she gulped her saliva, she used her palm to close his eyes, he smiled

This girl, don't she knows I want to watch her eyes closely.

He talk to himself

Romeo! She called slightly, Romeo! Come on let's leave, everyone think I am dead, the priest gave me this, come on stand let's leave, I am so happy to see you again.

She hugged him but he didn't respond. Can you stop it. I am getting scared now. She raise his hand but it fall back to the floor.

I know you like to play but fun time is over, come on, wake up let's leave.

She pulled his hand again but still not moving.

Uh! She screamed, she place her head on his chest he is not breathing.

Romeo, how could you die? Didn't you think of me? Who will fight for me? Who will rescue me, when I walk with my predator? Who will numbed my pain for me?

She get the bottle from him.

Poison,Fine, since you dare to die then I should do something for you as well, you always do everything for me, I will die also.

She checked the bottle.

It's empty, so I will have to drink from your lips, instead of a kiss of love, it will be a kiss of death

Whitney closed her eyes very tight, Gregory smile at her action, Craig is anticipating the kiss, then she place her hand on his lips and kiss her hand, she coughed, held her chest.

Meet you soon, Romeo.

She want to fall to the floor but Craig pushed her slightly to his chest.

Oh! What a sad love story, their love didn't have an happy ending but it's serve as a lesson to us, that love doesn't have to be between two equal party, when you find love anywhere, be it rich or poor, just let them be.

She bow, everyone clapped, Cathy and Craig stand and also bow.

This is a fantastic family, a cute couple and a lovely daughter, I see where she get her charm from.

Craig run his hand on Eve's hair, they left the stage, Cathy is washing her face, Craig is staring at her, she raised her head only to see him look at her

Geez!

Hey slow down, why are you screaming people will think I am doing something with you.

Why are you looking at me like that? Will you die if you say you love me?

I don't say things I don't mean.

Fine, what happened to your head? Cathy shrugged her shoulder. What?

I hit my head on the door. do you sleep walk or is it Tony that hit you? Cathy look at him. Go on.

Let me be.

Fine, your hair is scattered, should I...

No, I do it myself and move, stop talking nonsense. Craig smile, they both walked out of the washroom, they announced the winner of the drama.

Cindy run to Eve.
