„I promise."

022

When I arrived at home I went to the living room.
Everyone else was sitting there.
Mrs. Grice was knitting a jumper for Falco.
Mr. Grice was reading the newspaper.
Falco was playing with his toys,
Colt was reading a book.

„Did you hear this loud noise?" I asked Colt, sitting down on the couch next to him.
„Yeah.. Dad's trying to figure out what it could be.. any ideas?" Colt asked me.
„No clue. I thought it might've been a dying bird... but this was much louder..." I whispered, so no one gets disturbed by me.
„Yeah it's Everything but a dying bird... I think it's just a helicopter that was broken or something.." Colt said.
„Whatever it was... unfortunately no one could see it..." mr. Grice sighted, throwing the newspaper on the table.
„Juliet we won't have any training today... I'm sorry for that but I have to go to work... this flying Object could be a bomb or anything else..." he said.
„Oh that's no problem mr. Grice... just make sure we're all safe." I laughed.
Mr. Grice stood up and left the house.

„So... we could hang out with pieck and Aleyna now." I smirked at Colt.
„No. Pieck is one of dad's employees. He needs her.. same goes with Aleyna." Colt explained laughing.
„Damn it... lets hang out in your room then." I suggested.
„Sure." he closed his book and putted it under the table.

We walked to his room and closed the door.
I jumped on his bed and lay down.
„Everything alright Juliet?" he asks.
„Yeah..." I whispered.

He looked confused and sat down next to me.
„already learned the opening dance?" He asked me.
„Uhh... Well I learned my steps." I shrugged my shoulders.

For the masquerade ball there is a special opening dance that I have to do.
This is a dance that I will have with a male partner.
I'm sure I'm going to do it with Colt, so we both practiced the dance a lot of times.

„Could we actually just lay down... I'm tired..." I yawned.
„What were you doing Juliet?"
I closed my eyes.
„Talked to a friend..." I whispered.
He lay down next to me.
„You have Friends?" he joked, making me laugh.
I sat up and punched his chest.
„Hey hey!" he laughed.
„Of course I have friends!" I giggled.

Later it got dark outside.
I was reading a book in my room.
The books name is ‚a life without purpose'
It's about a bunny who has no family anymore.
It has to find a new life, but everything gets worse.
Instead of getting new friends, everyone rejects him.
That's why the bunny always thinks his life has no purpose.

While reading Someone knocked at my door.
Everyone was sleeping, so I was really confused.
I closed the book and tiptoed to the door, slowly opening it.
„Falco?" I whispered surprised.
The little boy was standing there, a plushy in his hand.
„I can't sleep..." he mumbled, looking at his toes.
I smiled a bit and opened the door.
„Come here... I'll read a few pages of my book to you." I said.
„No. I'm not a baby anymore, Juliet... I.. I had a nightmare.." he mumbled embarrassed.
I was about to laugh, but he punched me on my arm.
„It's not funny!" he hissed.
„I'm not a baby anymore! That's what you just said... anyway... anything I can do for you?" I asked him.
He looked up into my face.
„Could I sleep at your room?" he asked me.
I grinned like a little child and nodded.
„Thanks..." he yawned.
He just walked through the door and lay down on my bed.

I furrowed my brow and closed the door.
„where am I supposed to sleep?" I whispered.
„You can pull out a part of the bed. It's universal..." he giggled.
I sighted and went to the bed.
The little boy was already laying these, his plushy in his arms.
I pulled out the second part of the bed and lay down.
Pillow and blanket were already there.

„Juliet... do you Know what this loud noise could've been?" Falco asked me.
„No.. do you have any ideas?" I asked him.
He hesitated.
We were both looking at the ceiling.
„I think it's a savior.." he whispered.
I turned my head over to him and looked at him.
„A savior?" I asked.
„Someone who's gonna safe the eldians... Someone who will bring you to Romeo.." he whispered.
I let the blood rushing through my ears.
„Romeo? Oh Falco I don't think someone's gonna bring me to Romeo... Honestly I started to give up on seeing him ever again... but the part with saving the eldians... let's just hope it's Nothing Bad..." I yawned.

I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep.
