The real story is the one in Shakespeare, but he did not invent it. He got it from a poem by Arthur Brooke, who was using sources from Italy who were using other sources and so on, and so on, stretching back perhaps all the way to Ovid's story of Pyramus and Thisbe. There were never any real people called Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, even though the Verona Tourist Bureau would like you to believe it (It helps bring tourist dollars their way).
All of these stories are fiction, but the one everyone remembers is the one in Shakespeare. That is why Shakespeare's is the "real story".

Which myth is parallel to William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet?
The Romeo and Juliet story probably owes its start to the story of Pyramus and Thisbe in Ovid's Metamorphoses. It went through a half-dozen storytellers before it got to Shakespeare. Shakespeare knew the original too--he put it into his play A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Why Romeo and Juliet story happen a few days?
By compressing the events of the story, Shakespeare was able to give it a breathlessness that makes us think of Romeo and Juliet being swept away on a tide of events. Shakespeare compressed events in other stories as well. This is especially noticeable in the histories, where the events of twenty years are portrayed as if they happened in a couple of weeks or months. Shakespeare did this to keep the flow of the story going. But it is nowhere as pronounced as it is in Romeo and Juliet.

Does the book Romeo and Juliet revolve around the love of william shakespeare?
No. That was the plot of the movie Shakespeare in Love. In fact the story of Romeo and Juliet was much older than Shakespeare, and it would be just as ridiculous for someone in Shakespeare's day to have claimed it was about them as it would for someone today to do so. "I've written a story about Romeo and Juliet in 2013 and it's based on my life experiences." Sure it is.
