The End

In the end, the families became friends.  They now throw very large, lavish parties and dinners together.  It is a shame though that they all had to become friends after the deaths of their children...had they just acted like adults before they might have been able to prevent their children from making stupid decisions, I don’t know, and still actually have children.  Anyway, thanks to my secret sources, we can all understand this tory a bit better.

For whatever reason, Romeo seemed to want to video his death. Earlier the day this video was taken, Romeo received text that Juliet’s parents found her dead.  Well, he had decided this was too much to bear, found himself some liquor, and decided to end it.  Well, that plan between Juliet and Friar Lawrence? Yeah it was a sleeping potion, and she was still groggy when she ran to Romeo.  Her death was fake all along, but, here they both are.  Will all the partying, it seems as if the alcohol had caught up both of them, and these last sips of rum seemed to do them in.  Tragic.

So, it turns out that the deaths of Romeo and Juliet were not accidental, and that Friar Lawrence was in on it.  I wonder how their parents felt when they saw that he was a part of this whole mess.  I’m sure they weren’t too happy.

The next chain of events was not recorded by text, and no pictures have been found...yet, but a source of mine close to the families came to me in private.  Apparently, Romeo and Juliet met with Friar Lawrence to arrange a marriage, and shortly after, Romeo killed Tybalt and left immediately.  Because of this, Juliet was in too much danger of trying to contact her young lover,and anyone close to either family was too afraid to contact him, because any text with him would be enough to be questioned by the police, so the nurse set out to go find him.  Turns out, she did find him, and when she did, he was with Friar Lawrence.  She was able to communicate with Romeo, and he eventually ended up sneaking back to Juliet.  The two were forced to separate for a while after their rendez-vous, but, they planned on seeing each other again.  They just needed to wait for the right time, and Juliet needed to get a certain potential suitor out of her hair.

Romeo’s cousin Benvolio and Romeo’s best friend Mercutio seemed to have lost Romeo...it’s still a tad unclear as to what happened to him, but one thing was definitely certain, and that’s that with all of this young love, Romeo has been in quite the weak state.  I think he had been partying a little too hard. He should have probably sobered up before making some decisions, huh, because he seemed to have caught the attention of the Capulet family.  No wonder this story ended so tragically.

Romeo and Juliet were spotted later talking on her balcony.  Apparently they had professed their love, planned marriage, and planned some fun...if you know what I mean.  My sources told me that she had told Romeo she would text him the next night at nine, and they left things like that.  It may look like love in young Romeo’s eyes, but something tells me this is just lust.

Well, this video came from Benvolio’s personal camera.   He was taking videos of the party when he discovered that the mystery girl his cousin Romeo disappeared with was none other than Juliet Capulet.  I guess Romeo thought she was someone else.  He seems pretty shocked.

A secret source captured these pictures of Romeo and Juliet in her room at the party...something tells me Mommy and Daddy weren’t happy when they found out that Juliet had taken a Montague as her lover.

A family member also video-taped this exchange between Romeo and Juliet’s first meeting.  Was it for blackmail, maybe? Whatever it is, these two seem to be making a pretty irrational decision.  Do they know who each other are? It seems like they’ve hung out before, but do they understand that they come from rivaling families? It doesn’t seem like it...This story is starting to seem a little less romantic than what is typically told, don’t you think?

We found some footage from someone in the Montague family, and it seems as if Romeo was already into moving on before meeting Juliet...what exactly are his intentions?

It also looks as if another man had his sights on Juliet before our Romeo.  Paris, a relative of the Prince, texted Capulet about asking his daughter’s hand in marriage...he’s about as romantic as young Romeo...

[nofearrandj]

It also looks as if Juliet wasn’t the only object of Romeo’s affection during this story.  Here he’s texting his cousin Benvolio about another girl he’s interested in, and being quite the asshole about it...was Juliet really a rebound?  Guess Romeo isn’t as romantic as everyone makes him out to be.

As we all know, the Capulets and the Montagues used to be enemies...so much so that their servants hated each other.  I found these texts from Sampson’s phone between he and Gregory from the day of that fated party...looks like there was a fight between them and some servants from the Montague household, and it turns out everyone got into it, even members of each family...interesting.
