Chapter 5: Bad News

It was morning now.

Belladonna and Dylan got up. Belladonna had her mom's dress on and Dylan was wearing what he had on the day before.

"What do you want for breakfast?" asked Belladonna.

"You got any bananas?" asked Dylan.

"Yep." said Belladonna. "I love bananas!"

Belladonna got the bananas off the fridge and broke two off then sat beside Dylan and the two began eating.

Derek walked out into the kitchen.

"Gina called today." said Derek. "We're going to eat over at the diner. I forgot to tell you on Friday that they got really good bacon, but they only sell it on Sundays. Do you want me to bring you back some?"

"No." said Belladonna. "You can eat as much as you can pay for."

"Alright." said Derek.

Halloween Eve.

Belladonna and Dylan were now married. They went to the Halloween store where Belladonna saw a jacket like her old one. It was black, it was sleeveless and it had that thing that vampires have on the back of their cape. But one thing was different. The inside of the vampire thing was red. It appealed to her so much. She got it and a knife off a shelf and bought them. The phone rang at the Halloween store.

"Is there a Belladonna and Dylan here?" asked the cashier.

"That's us." said Belladonna.

"Phone." said the cashier.

Belladonna got behind the counter and took the call.

"Hello?" asked Belladonna.

"Hi." said a girl voice. "I'm Gina. Derek's been in a terrible crash. Everyone is pretty much okay except for him."

"What!" cried Belladonna. "Is this a joke!"

"I would never joke about something like that." said Gina.

"Is he okay?" asked Belladonna.

"No." said Gina. "He's in critical condition."

Belladonna began crying as she fell down.
