Change of Heart

Today, the day after me and Romeo were married, I found out that my cousin Tybalt had been killed, and to make it worse, my Romeo is the one who killed him. Usually if you kill someone, you will be killed too, but because Romeo killed Tybalt, because Tybalt killed Mercrutio. So instead of being killed, he has been banished from Verona. How do I hide that I am glad that Romeo wasn’t killed? I don’t think that I can hide my feelings that are so strong. And to make things worse, my parents want me to marry Paris. Nurse has had a change of heart as well! She is telling me to marry Paris because I will probably never see Romeo again, I can’t believe her.

My Secret

Today, Romeo and I got married! We were only able to pull this off because Nurse was my messenger. I don’t know what I would do without her. She has helped me and Romeo be together. I imagine she could get in a lot of trouble for doing this though. Romeo had to confide in Friar Lawrence about all of our meetings. My job was to get a messenger, who was Nurse, to Romeo to let him know the date and time, and Romeo had to convince Friar to marry us. We both came through on our part of the deal. I have never been more happier in my life. I wish that my parents could share in my happiness though. If they knew that we were married they would probably disown me. I cant let that happen, but maybe it is worth it.

"my only love sprung from my only hate"

At my father's party my parents wanted me to get to know or fall in love with Paris. Well I did fall in love, unfortunately it was not with Paris, it was with Romeo. There wouldn’t be a problem with this, but Romeo is a Monteque, and the Monteques and Capulets are enemies. If I want to continue to see Romeo, it will have to be in secret. The only person who I can trust with this is Nurse, because she understands me. Sometimes I feel that she understands me and knows me better than my own mother, who wanted to marry me off to someone that I don’t even know. Of course I have only known Romeo for a day, but I feel like I have known him forever. I think that if I knew he was a Monteque I would have acted the same way, and still fallen in love. You cant help who you fall in love with.
