Dear Diary,
This is the last I will be writing to you. Soon I will be dead.
Or so you will think! Friar Laurence has blessed me with a foolproof plan that will assure me and Romeo be together forever. He gave me a potion that will make me fall into a deep sleep for 48 hours and have anyone who see's me believe I am dead. Why would I want this you ask? Well when the nurse comes to awaken me in the morning she will alert my family that I am dead, and I will be moved into the family tomb to rest. When I awaken after the deep sleep my dear Romeo will be in the tomb waiting for me so we can start our new lives together. I will miss my family, but this is my only option. I refuse to marry Paris and if this is the only way I can be with Romeo then so be it. I do have some worries when I start thinking about this plan. What if Friar Laurence was scared someone would find out that he married Romeo and I and gave me a real poison that will actually kill me? Or what if I awaken in the tomb and Romeos not there and I'm left down there until I die? I have to trust that Friar Laurence wouldn't do such a thing and follow through with this plan, for if it works Romeo and I can proceed to living our married lives without any of our families interfering. Talk to you in 48 hours.
