”You’re welcome."
She said and Gio smiled at her as the car was sitting there parked. Gio loves Aline very much as a friend, he was glad he got to know her better lately, and wished nothing would happen to ruin that whatsoever.
“I just think that I should say that Lui’s a good guy, really. Is he being a colossal assh0le? Yes. But he loves you a lot. He doesn’t want to hurt you…” She went on about how Lui was a good guy and needs to see things for himself sometimes, which wasn’t at all less stressing than anything she said until now.
Gio was naturally a somewhat paranoid and anxious guy, but what he saw when they walked through the cafe door was a lot worse than what he had ever expected.
There was Luciano, his beautiful boyfriend he loved from the bottom of his heart, with another man. Not something that would usually bother him since he wasn’t a jealous person. But next thing he knew the two of them were kissing and everything turned black. Not literally, but he was shocked and hurt and mad all together, he didn’t know how to even respond to what was happening in front of eyes. Was it reality? Was it a bad dream?
He just stood there frozen, now Aline shouting and the whole fight going on around him turned into white noise as his gaze was fixed on Luciano.
“Gio-- Gio, God, I’m so sorry. I swear I’m not cheating on you…I love you, not him. Please.”
Gio was absolutely dazed and confused, and didn’t even take in half of what the guy just said. He was overwhelmed and broken, as if his world just crashed on him. ”I trusted you…” He managed to say, with a broken voice trying to hold himself from looking as broken as he felt ”I trusted you with everything” he said, bolding the word everything as he spoke. ”I should have known it was too good to be true. Go on, I won’t get in your way anymore” he added as his voice broke, he looked at him, the look in Gio’s eyes was deep and hurt, staring at him with blackness. He looked at him, and then at aline for a split second before turning away and leaving the cafe and into his car.
As he got into his car closing the door behind him, he couldn’t hold the amount of emotions flooding through him, and the gates of the tears opened wide.
He was clearly in no state to be driving, but he had to get out of there, far and quick. He couldn’t bare the thought of Luciano and that guy kissing, yet the image kept coming to his head in every passing moment.
He turned on the engine and the radio turned on automatically in the middle of some sad Lewis Capaldi song that was playing on the radio. He wasn’t in the mood for sad songs, but he also couldn’t be any more bothered and make the effort of turning off the radio.
He was just too hurt, too shocked, too… everything. All these emotions together piling up on him and doing what they can to break his spirit.
It’s not like he hasn’t been hurt before, damn, this isn’t even the worst he’s been through, but coming from the one person he loved and trusted, and never expected to hurt him like that… it just made it hurt so much more.
Made him wonder why did he even trust people in the first place.
Reversing and driving out of the parking spot at the side of the road, he headed out to the road driving away. And just as he thought the day couldn’t get any worse, crash. At a close by junction between two main roads, the unfocused Gio drove throughout the road leading away from the cafe, when another vehicle crashed into him from the back side, causing Gio’s car with the boy in it, to fly away and flip. There was a sound of crashing metal and something broke, was it the window or his bones, he didn’t know, but a sharp and intense pain hit him for a moment, but next thing he knew. his vision blurred and everything black…
