I AM BANISHED!!!!

Ah, another day, another fight between my family and the Capulets. But this time, it was not just anyone fighting, it was my dear friend Mercutio, fighting with the fierce and relentless Tybalt. I could not think of anything better to do, so I decided to go in between the two, hoping to stop the fight. But little did I know, Tybalt was up to his old tricks once again. He would stab is sword under my arm, striking an unaware Mercutio, killing him. Right after that happened, i saw Tybalt run off, feeling all good about himself. When I went to comfort Mercutio, all that he could think of saying was "A plague o’ both your houses!" (3.1.90) For some reason, Tybalt decided to show his face...too bad for him, as I was set on getting vengeance for the death of Mercutio. So, I then demanded for him to draw his sword and with all my power, killed my own cousin. Remembering the words of the Prince from the last fight, I fled quickly, to the cell of Friar Lawrence.

"BANISH'D! BANISH'D!" This news is terrible news! I felt that this was much worse than deaf, but then Friar Lawrence tried to relieve me by telling me that I can still live, but just not in
Verona. But that still did not comfort my anger and sadness. The only glimpse of comfort that I saw occurred when the Nurse came in and told me about how Juliet experienced the same sorrows that I am experiencing. Finally, some things seemed to be working my way when Friar Lawrence devised a plan that would allow me to spend one last night with Juliet, and I was so happy about it.
