My Romeo Hates Me

The bittersweet story of Romeo and Juliet. A tale of star-crossed lovers who take their lives. A beautiful story that always had me smiling with tears streaming down my cheeks every time I was done reading it, even though I wasn’t a big fan of Shakespeare. My life was similar to that of Juliet. I had a Romeo whose family had a long-standing feud with mine. Yes. The 21st-century Romeo. A family feud that had lasted twenty years. A meeting with my Romeo sent me up into cloud nine and I fell for him. Hard. Just like the play, our love was deadly. But unlike the play, my Romeo hated me.
