Juliet's P.O.V-----

Three days until mine and Liam's one month anniversary. Only three days. But he has been acting really strange this week. He seemed so distant, like he didn't want to be near me. He was normal with David, Britney and even Henry. But when it came to me he was just...weird.

"Hey, Juliet, I'm gonna go and finish off some office work, okay?" He didn't even glance at me as he walked up the stairs. "And don't disturb me."

I sighed as I sat on the sofa. I didn't know what to do. I decided to talk to Britney but she wasn't much help and David wouldn't tell me anything. He said he didn't know anything. But I know he does. I walked into Liam's office and saw him facing the window.

"Yeah, Mary and I are going out to dinner on Saturday, wanna come?" He laughed at something the other person said and he turned around. "Juliet! What part of not disturbing me don't you fucking understand? For fuck sakes Juliet, get out!"

I didn't move. "Saturday is our anniversary. Our first one." I saw him turn around and slam his phone against the wall.

"Fucking hell! What do you want me to do?" His eyes were full of anger as he turned around. I backed up a little, scared at his outburst. He came closer and I took a step back. I saw his eyes soften but then I looked back down again.

"I'm sorry." But before I could walk away I felt him pull me back into the office.

"Listen to me," he ordered. I felt him tighten his fingers around my wrists and I gritted my teeth from the pain. "I don't wanna be a relationship where my wife isn't honest with me about her past."

"What are you talking about?"

"I saw it, okay? I saw the bloody baby scan. I know you were pregnant once." He turned around and kicked the nearby chair. "For fuck sakes Juliet. What did you do Juliet? Give it up for adoption? Abortion?" He turned round to face me again. "Couldn't look after a baby at bloody eighteen now could you?" He laughed bitterly to himself. "God, what did you do huh? One night stand? Just open your legs for anyone?"

Tears slowly ran down my face as he went on. I rubbed the bruised skin around my wrist and took a small step back. "I...It's not...It's not what you think-"

"Not what I think? You got pregnant at fucking eighteen. You are a whore." He jabbed his finger into my chest and I felt the warm liquid escaping my eyes. "Don't fucking waste your tears on me."

"Do you know Jacob Stew?"

"What fucking question is that? Of course I know him, he was our best friend in school. It's a fucking shame the police are after him for rape."

"He done that to me."

"What? That doesn't even make sense. You can't just say he done that to me unless..." He looked up at me with his eyes wide open. "...unless he..."

"He did." I saw him turn around again and when he looked back round his eyes were filled with tears.

William's P.O.V-----

"He...God I can't even say it." I turned around again. My eyes burned with tears and I heard Juliet's footsteps.

"It's okay Liam." I heard her soft voice from behind me. I let my tears run down my face.

"You got pregnant, and then what?"

"It's a long story Liam. I will tell you later, after you sit down." I turned round to face her and saw that she was looking at the floor.

"Look at me Juliet." Her eyes remained on the floor. "Please, Juliet, just please look at me," I begged. She slowly looked up at me and I shook my head, I didn't know what to say. "I'm sorry Juliet. I am so, so sorry."

"You didn't know Liam." She put her hand on my cheek and wiped away the tears from my face. "You didn't know." 

"I'm sorry." She gave me a small smile and lowered her hand. "You're gonna tell me the whole story Juliet. All of it. I don't wanna misunderstand anything again. I don't wanna call you names, I don't wanna have to shout at you, I dont wanna end us. Never." She gave me another smile and pushed me down onto the chair. She started to pull another chair but I pulled her down onto my lap. She curled up into my lap. The heat of her body was warming up my cold skin. 

"I had a boyfriend at that time, been goin' out with him for 'bout three months. My brother had cancer then and he was home for a few days but I was at work. I had to go to the shop to get some few things and that was when I saw him. He was normal at first, friendly like he was back in the days, offered to give me a ride. I refused at first but he insisted. So I went." I tightened my arms around her as she tensed up and took a deep breathe. "As soon as I was in the car he held a rag to my face and I was out. Woke up naked...tied to a bed. Tied my leg apa-" 

"You don't have to say all that Juliet." I softly said as I pushed back the hair from her face. 

"No, I have to. He tied my legs apart. He had already raped me once. He came back when I started to scream and told me I can scream all I want. And I remember he had this smile on his face...as though the screaming just added to his sick fucking pleasure. He then raped me again, and again. Thankfully, he untied me and went to sleep beside me. I managed to get away after he slept and I ran. I ran and ran. I didn't even know where I was going. All I know was that I was in the woods. Just trees and more trees, but no one to help me. When I saw the houses I fell against the first door I found. I didn't even realise I was running naked." She laughed at her own joke. Tears were running down her cheeks. "I remember the woman that opened the door for me. She was so nice, and luckily a doctor. I had scratches all over my body. Random bits of twigs in my skin. I wasn't in pain at that time, I was just relieved. Later on, I found out I was pregnant, My boyfriend, Billy, supported me. He was great. He said if I wanted to keep it then we would raise it as our own. Four months went by and I started to show my bump, and he started to get distant. Then closer to my five months, he cheated. I already had my doubts, but I found them in bed together. He was cheating since I got raped. The guy couldn't deal with the whole 'sex after marriage' thing. I gave him another chance, like the idiot I am, and he was alright for a while but then one day he came home drunk with another girl and they were already naked at the doorstep. She left and I had to deal with a drunken idiot. He beat me, said I was nothing but a whore who just couldn't keep her legs closed. He said I lied about the rape and I just wanted all the attention. The police still hadn't caught Jacob at that time. He beat for hours and hours and kicked me out the house. The neighbour had already called the police and they arrested him. After I was at the hospital, they told me the babies were dead. Billy went to jail and then committed suicide just six months ago. Sent me a letter, but I still didn't open it to this day." 

She leaned in closer to me and I tightened by arms around her. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I rocked her back and forth as she sobbed into my chest. I held her close to me and said nothing to her. What could I say?

Juliet stood up and wiped the remaining tears on her face. "I'm gonna go to sleep now." 

"Okay, just wait for me to-" 

"No. I'm sorry Liam, but I just want to sleep alone tonight." She said slowly. I gave her a small smile and just nodded my head, but I knew she could see the disappointment in my face. 

"Yeah, sure." She tried to give me a small smile but I could see the pain in her eyes. 

Juliet's P.O.V------

I rolled around in my bed and sighed. I was lying to Liam, I didn't want him there, I needed him there. I just didn't know how to face him since he knew everything about me. I didn't want to see the familiar pity in his eyes that I saw with everyone else. I didn't want him to think of me as a dirty whore. I rolled off the bed and grabbed my robe from the back of the door as I went out. I slowly walked to Liam's door and opened it, cursing when the floorboard creaked under my weight. 

"Juliet?" I heard Liam's worried voice. 

"Sorry, it's just me." I walked closer to his bed and as my eyes adjusted to the darkness of his room I saw he wasn't there. "Liam?" 

"Right here." I jumped as I heard his deep voice from behind me. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He sounded tired. Well it was three in the morning. 

"What are you doing awake?" I mumbled as I looked down. 

"Just." I heard him shuffle around and I heard him closing his draw. 

"What are you doing?" 

"Just looking for something." 

"Okay." It stayed quiet for a while. 

"Come here." He sounded cheerful. I catiously walked over to him and he turned on the nearby lamp. "I found it." I stared down at the small black box in his hands. "Remember when I told you that I was gonna tell you I love you at school and you left? Well I was gonna give you a letter and this necklace." He opened the box and took out the necklace. The shiny silver chain glistened in the light. "Let me put it on you." He turned me around and I felt the cold silver touch my skin. "Sorry, I know it's cold. But you have to see whats inside the locket." I looked down at the locket and saw it had a small rose engraved in it, with a 'J' and a 'L' on the side. I opened it up and I instantly smiled. It was a picture of us together when we were in school. We just had P.E. and my hair was still messy, Liam's face was all sweaty, but it was one of the best times we had. We were both laughing and facing each other, someone else must have taken the picture. 

"It's beautiful Liam. So beautiful." I turned around and hugged him. 

"I couldn't sleep tonight. I couldn't sleep knowing what I said to you. I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry. I will do anything. I swear." 

"Liam I don't want you to do anything. But I will keep that noted for future references." I smiled at him and leaned up to give him a kiss. 

"I love you Juliet." 

"I love you too Liam." 

"Lets go to sleep." He let go to pull the duvet back and looked back at me, his eyes sad. "Unless you don't want to-" 

"No, that's why I came here in the first place." I smiled at him and jumped on the bed. "I'm a starfish." Liam laughed at me and pushed me a little so he can sleep. 

"Goodnight starfish." 

"Goodnight Liam." 

"Juliet?" He rolled over and pulled me into his chest. "Can we make a cake tomorrow?" 

"Of course Liam."

"Only me and you Juliet." 

"Only me and you Liam."
