Chapter 4

As their weekend came to an end, Henry and Betty weren't looking forward to work the next morning. The next week was going to be hectic for Betty so she couldn't really see Henry until the weekend. The week went by fast but Betty was glad it was over. When Henry got home on Friday he knew Betty had already gotten home so he gave her a call to see how her week went.

Phone rings and Betty picks up.

"Hello?"

"Hey Betty."

"Hey Henry. What's up?"

"Nothing really. Just tired. You?"

"Please.YOUR tired imagine how I feel?"

"Ha I know. Alright I won't complain."

"Okay good. Well I got to go eat and take a shower. I will call you later okay?"

"Okay talk to you later or tomorrow."

"Bye. I love you."

"I love you, too, bye."

By the time she was done eating and everything it was late so she decided to call Henry back in the morning. When she woke up the next morning she had two missed calls. She thought Why didn't I hear my phone ring. But realized she still had her phone on vibrate. The first one was from Gio which shocked her because he was dating Amanda or at least that is what she thought and the second one was from Henry. She checked her voice-mail and had two new messages.

"Hey Betty I guess you probably don't expect a call from me but I still love you and miss you more than words could EVER explain. Just to let you know the night you dumped me for eggsalad... I mean Henry I was going to ask you to be my wife. I was really happy the last five years and life was so perfect until you crushed it. I hope you have a wonderful life with Henry. I love you...always."

Next message.

"Hey Betty. It's Henry. Gio called me earlier. I think you already had gotten his message. He told me he wants you back but he won't get you back because I'm never going to let you go again like I did five years ago and break your heart a third time. I know you must feel really bad because of how much he actually loved you and then you left him. Well I'll let you go and see you at work. I love you. Bye."

When Henry's message was over she began to cry of how bad she felt for Gio. She always thought he did not mean his love for her and she know knew she was wrong...very wrong. She had the toughest decision to make. Either stay with Henry who she loved very much or go back to the heartbroken Gio but she needed to think about it for a little while but five years without Henry was a pretty long time but that didn't really matter to her though. She still loved him as much as before he left. When she got into the car to go to work and turned on the radio the song Over You by Daughtry had just started playing. This instantly brought Henry and Gio into her mind but for different reasons. Gio because she let him know that he was something more then she broke his heart. And Henry for always being there but ended up leaving. She couldn't put up with it so she had to try to erase the thoughts but every channel she tried all the songs brought those two things to her mind and she got fed up and ended turning the radio off and drove in silence. When Betty got to work she got to her floor and saw that Amanda was crying and just as Betty walked by she looked up.

"I hope your happy!"

"Why?"

"Gio left me...for YOU!"

"Your point... I already have the one I love I don't want Gio."

"My point is is that he still loves you. I thought he loved me but I guess I was wrong. How come you got two guys and I only got none?"

"Try being nicer and maybe loose bout five to ten pounds and basically look how you did five years ago and then see what happens."

"So your saying I'm ugly now?"

"Yeah basically."

"Thanks a lot that REALLY helps at this time."

"Not my problem no one likes you."

Betty walks to her desk and finds a present from Gio. But she leaves it until she checks her e-mail and voice-mail and goes and gets Daniel breakfast.

"Hey Daniel. Usual bagel?"

"Yeah."

"Hows Amanda doing? Is she still crying over Gio?"

"Yeah and I made it worse and now she's crying harder."

"What did you do?"

"Basically told her to screw and look like she did five years ago and be nicer than she normally is."

"Good job."

"Thanks. I'll be right up with your bagel and coffee."

"Thanks. Do you want me to get you anything."

Betty was shocked Daniel never usually offered to do anything lately.

"Just see what Gio sent me and why. I know he wants to get back together but he should know he doesn't have a chance anymore.

Betty leaves and Daniel goes over to see what it was and when he opened it he was shocked. There was a card attached to it also.
