Misunderstood
Marissa sat behind the wheel of her car, tapping her fingers on the steering wheel. The traffic lights were refusing to change and she was already late for her date with Ryan. C'mon, she thought, I need to go.
Tonight's date was important for both of them; although nothing had been said, they could both sense that this would be a monumental night in the history of their relationship. Marissa knew that Ryan was a little paranoid that something had happened between her and Trey whilst he was in Miami – if only he knew – which meant that she had to show him that he had nothing to be worried about.
Being late for their date was not the best way to go about it.
Marissa pulled her phone out of her purse, deciding to let Ryan know she was running late.
Crap, she thought when she looked at the display. The perfect time to have a flat battery. Now how was she meant to put Ryan's fears at rest?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ryan stood impatiently outside of the Crab Shack, glancing at his watch every few seconds. Where is she? She's never more than 10minutes late. Maybe she's with….no, don't go there buddy.
He tried to call her but her phone was switched off. Typical. I guess tonight's not as important to her as it is to me. Dejectedly, Ryan kicked out at a stray can beside the bin, then leaned back against the wall.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Finally! The lights changed and Marissa put her foot down on the accelerator. Now to get to Ryan before he gives up on me!
Marissa was so wrapped up in getting to Ryan that she didn't notice the alarming behaviour of the driver in the lorry, travelling in the opposite direction towards her. He was drunk and swerving all over the road. Marissa realised too late that there wasn't enough room for both of them on the road. She spun the wheel, desperately trying to move out the way.
The lorry drove smack bang into her car.
----------------------------------------------------------------
She should have been here an hour ago. Ryan looked once more at his watch, scanned the landscape around him for any sign of his beautiful angel, before conceding that she wasn't coming and heading angrily to the car. Does this mean its over between us?
Well, that was chapter 1. This is my first fanfiction, so I hope you like it! I have several chapters panned out, and they will be much longer than this one, don't worry!
