Why does Friar Laurence leave Juliet alone in the tomb?

Answer 1

Friar Laurence tries to convince Juliet to leave with him after she sees Romeo's dead corpse because they hear someone approaching the grave (most likely the prince and police). However, Juliet refuses, so Friar Laurence flees.

Answer 2

Friar Lawrence finds Juliet weeping over Romeo's dead body. He tries to convince her to leave the tomb with him but she refuses. He hears the Prince and the police coming and flees so that his involvement is not discovered.

Answer 3

He tells the Prince and the assembled crowd later, "But then a noise did scare me from the tomb." But at the time he says to Juliet, "Stay not to question, for the watch is coming. Come, go, good Juliet, I dare no longer stay." What that means is that he knew it was the watch; he was not scared by any old noise, but by the prospect of having to explain the situation to the police. He was still worried for his own safety if he disclosed that he had married Juliet and Romeo without consulting their parents.
