Romeo and Juliet and “Teen Couple Executed by their Parents…for daring to fall in love,” both involve the deaths of the couples all happening at a young age, all of them dying before the age of 19 before any of their parents died.

    The story starts with two teenagers, Allie and Noah, who come from completely different backgrounds. They live, think, and act differently however in spite of all this they find each other and form a bond that can only be described as love.
