Betty and Matt were strolling along Lexington Avenue on a beautiful summer night. The lovebirds had just been out to dinner at a fancy restaurant. Matt had forgotten his wallet again, but as usual Betty had paid while Matt swore up and down that he would pay her back. As they passed by the Mode offices, Betty saw a familiar van parked across the street. A short, cute guy with dark, spiky hair and bulging muscles emerged from the back of the van. He was loaded down with a tray stacked high with loaves of bread. As he came around the back of the van, Betty screamed out his name to get his attention. She waved crazily and gave him a huge smile. It had been months since she'd seen Gio and she had missed him. Betty's smile quickly turned into a frown when she didn't get a response. Why was he ignoring her? They had parted on good terms and had even agreed to hang out once in awhile. Unfortunately, Betty had been so busy with her job, YETI, and her new boyfriend that she hadn't found time to contact him. That must be why he was mad.
Betty dropped Matt's hand and stepped out to the curb. "STOP IGNORING ME! I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!" she screamed. After still not getting a response, Betty was steaming mad. She darted out into the street so she could confront Gio. She was shocked when a red car sped past, inches away from taking her out. She could hear Matt yelling in the background but all she could think of was Gio. The car was weaving erratically and was heading right towards him.
There was a loud screeching and then a crashing sound. The sky was filled with flying loaves of bread. The red car hesitated for a second before speeding off quickly. Betty closed her eyes and said a quick prayer before taking in the scene. She knew this wasn't going to be pretty. It took her a few seconds to find him. His lifeless body was lying on the sidewalk. Upon seeing him lying there, the tears started flowing and Betty started screaming uncontrollably.
More chapters to come!
