„I promise."

Today I woke up and made breakfast for the Grice family.
I made some eggs with potatoes and some pancakes for Falco.

When breakfast was ready, mr and mrs. Grice were already awake.

„Breakfast is ready." I called them.
They both walked into the kitchen.
„Thank you so much Juliet." the Mother Said.
„Oh thats really no problem. I'm gonna wake Falco and Colt up." I said happily.

I left the kitchen and knocked at Falcos door.
„Falco breakfast is ready." I said, walking inside.
„O-okayyyy..." he yawned and sat up.
„I made you pancakes."
„Reallyy?" he smiled happily and ran out of his room.

I walked out of his room and knocked at Colts door.
„Who's this?" someone yawned.
„Juliet. Can I come in?"
„Yeah..."

I walked inside and closed the door behind me.
„Still laying on your bed, huh? Well I was much more productive. I was making breakfast and I took a shower and-" I started annoying him, while slowly walking towards his bed.
„And you decided to annoy me!" he laughed, pulling my hand so I was laying next to him.

We both had a good laugh until I sat up.
„You should eat some breakfast. It's important." I said.
„Yeah just... calm down." he yawned.

He rubbed his eyes with his palms.
After that he sat up next to me.
„Can we stay here for another minute... I'm just too tired to stand up." he mumbled.
I gave him a soft punch on his shoulder, causing both of us to laugh.

„I have training today... hey actually could we hang out after training? With Pieck and Aleyna." I asked him.
„Uhh... your Training usually goes up until 9pm.." he tilted his head, scratching his neck.
„Pleaseeeee!" I begged him big shaking his shoulders.
„Uhhhh.... I'll ask them if they have time.." he sighted.
„Yay!"

I let his shoulder go and walked to his window.
Marley was truly beautiful.

I opened the window and looked at the beautiful place called liberio...
Is there a better place than liberio?
Yes...

I sighted.
„Everything okay Juliet?" Colt asked me.
„Yeah... it's just.. he hasn't answered me..." I mumbled.
„But Juliet... you're over him, right?" Said Colt calmly.
„Mhm.. yes..." I responded.
„And you haven't wrote him a letter ever since... Juliet you're really strong.."
„Makes no sense to tell you to bring my letters to the post station..." I mumbled.
He just stared at me, smiling.
„Actually I'll go to my room... I have things to do.." I said, leaving his room.

I almost ran into my room.
I closed the door and opened the shelf in my beside table.
There was my notebook.

I opened an empty page and started writing.

Hey Romeo,

It's been a year and 9 months.
It's been 649 days.
It's been 15'576 hours.
I'm 17 now...
I don't know if you will ever pick me up...
To be honest, I'm losing hope.
I'm not even sure if I would be able to remember your face.
Blue eyes... like the ring I'm wearing everyday.
Long blonde hair... rosy cheeks, beautiful smile...

There's going to be a masquerade ball soon.
I already have my clothes...
You probably don't care, but I'm going to wear a wine red gown. It's strapless, Falco told me it looks good. Honestly Falco is a cutie.
Oh and my mask... it's actually a pretty one.
It's also wine red, and it's decorated with black feathers and pearls.
I hope the people around you are alright.

happy birthday Armin.

Juliet
