A/N: Here it is again. Thank you for your comments and reiews from my Author's Note. The past has past and let's enjoy the rest of this (I hope lol). In this chapter I did change it up a little bit with most of the chapter being in Gio's POV, having a heart-to-heart with someone you would not expect for him to have one with.

Thank you to my friend Dani from I-C who filled in for Erin making sure the chapter was in tip top shape, and everyone who reads and reviews this. I appreciate all of them!

Shoutouts to my cronies over at I-C who is LOVE!

Enjoy!

"What did you say?" I ask him.

He just gives me this look, like he's saying "You know what I said.", with tears in his eyes. He turns around and proceeds to walk away from me.

"Gio!" I yell as I start to stay on his tail. He picks up his pace and I do also. He starts into a slow run, going through the hustle and bustle of the crowds gathered in the area. I go through the crowd my eyes still on him.

"Gio! Come back!" I yell. He goes into a full on sprint through the crowds. I keep pushing through the crowds. He runs through a very populated crowd, full of tourists and I follow him, trying to keep my eye on him. As I get out of the crowd and I look for him. I don't see him. I look around the market, and back where we started from. No Gio. I take out my cell phone and I call him. It goes right into voicemail. I sigh and start back to the hotel to finish up on things.

Oh God, what have I done?!

Gio's POV

I run and I keep running until I don't have the energy to anymore. I know I have lost her very long ago, but just wanted to make sure. I feel my phone vibrate and I see her picture in the ID. I ignore the call. I can't talk to her right now. I just can't.

Why would she do this to me? It is so unlike her to be doing this. I mean, I thought she came with me because she truly wanted to be with me. I knew it all along! Throughout the trip she seemed distant and not like it was before Henry came back. She didn't want any affection either, like every time I tried to kiss her, she would turn her face so it would be to the cheek. I mean she would hold my hand when we walk, but she did halfheartedly and didn't seem that she was that interested in me anymore, or that she was hiding something. I should've put it together! She always insisted to hold her left hand and not her right, where her bracelet is, and made sure that I couldn't have access to her cell phone. I should've seen it.

I find a nearby rock and I just sit there, letting the tears flow. I never knew that Betty Suarez was a heartbreaker. She seemed like such a sweet, nice woman, who truly stuck to be herself. I taught her things. I helped her take a risk now and then. I truly thought I was falling for her, falling fast and hard. The worst part was I thought that maybe, just maybe, she was falling back.

The vibration of my phone snaps me out of my thoughts.

"Not now Betty. You know that I don't want to talk to you." I sigh as I take it out of my pocket and look at the ID, with most likely Betty's face showing. It's not. It is an Unknown ID with an US number. Probably Hilda or Justin checking up on Betty. I pick it up.

"Hello?"

"Gio." He says. My blood starts to boil and my patience is running VERY thin now.

"How can this day any worse? Oh! Why not Henry call my phone! This must be God's way of punishing me for something." I say before I take the phone off my ear and disconnect the phone. Just as I was about to push the button, I hear him scream.

"GIO! Please! The only reason I'm calling you is because Betty was worried!" I roll my eyes and put the phone back against my ear.

"Yeah, you want me to believe that Betty was worried about me." I say.

"She is! She called me in hysterics, not knowing where you were. She explained the whole thing to me and is worried about you. I wanted to call you and tell you. She wants to know that you are ok."

"OK? She wants to know after she basically ripped my heart out and ripped it up into a million bite sized pieces and stomped on them afterwards that I am OK?! Yeah right!"

"Yes. She cares about you Gio." Henry says.

"Cares about me? If she cared about me, she wouldn't be doing this to me! She wouldn't have!"

"She didn't mean for you to find out about this. She wanted you to have a good time and be happy before she told you about this. Every night she would text me saying she doesn't know how to do this and she was afraid of what would happen afterwards. She does care about you." Henry says.

"Why? Why does she care about me? Because what she did does not make me see that she cares. Why is she so concerned about me anyway? It's not like she was dating me anyway. I'm just someone she tosses around just so she can be satisfied. She made me believe that she felt the same way for me that I do for her. It's like I'm nothing to her. Tell me Henry. If Betty was committed to you, and was planning on doing this, then why the Hell is she going through this, going overseas with me hiding this from me?! Why Henry? WHY?!" I ask him, tears starting to form again.

"Because you are her friend. She wanted to see you happy. She values her friendship with you so much. Yes, I might get a little irritated at times when you are around, but I know that Betty trusts you and thinks you are a really great guy. She didn't want to see you sad, heartbroken. We talked about it in length. She thought that if she didn't go, she would lose the friendship you two have."

"She should know that if she didn't go with me, I should still be friends with her. I care about her too much to lose what we have. She is such an amazing woman, I wouldn't dare letting her go."

"I know the feeling." I hear Henry agree with me.

"Look, I know that you do not feel comfortable with her right now, but she really wants to talk to you. She wants to explain this to you herself, and not through me on the phone. She said that she will be at the hotel."

"I'm not sure if I'm ready to talk to her yet."

"I don't think she's ready either. But she knows that she has to face the music sooner or later, and she really wants to talk to you Gio."

"Well…ok I guess. The walk back will give me time to prepare.." I say.

"Thank You. I better get going then."

"Henry?"

"Yeah?"

"Take care of her."

"I plan on it. Talk to you later Sandwich Boy." Henry says whole heartedly.

"Seeya Egg Salad." I say before I hang up the phone. I stand up, and start to walk back to the hotel. As I am walking I am trying to figure out what to say to her.

It doesn't matter anyway. When I walk into the room, all of it is going to be lost anyway…
