A/N: Well here it is, my long awaited first Lizzie-fic! But I can't take
all the credit, I am writing this story with another well-known author here
on fanfic.net. He goes by the name DaleJr8FanDMP. Over the past two
months, I have got to know him really well, and all in all he's an
incredible guy.....cute too ^.^
We put a lot of effort into this story, and I gave up a lot of sleeping time (damn the time difference) to write this story. So here we go, we hope you all enjoy reading this as much as we have enjoyed writing it!
Disclaimer: We don't own anything!!
~It Runs In The Family~
~Prologue~ "I've been wanting to say this for years now, but I know if I don't say anything now then I never will, so here goes....."
Lizzie looked at her best friend of 18 years then looked down at their clasped hands. 'He's shaking, this has to be big' she thought.
Gordo looked into her eyes 'this is it, I'm finally gonna do this' he took a deep breath "Lizzie I...."
"Go on Gordo, you can tell me anything," Lizzie encouraged with a smile.
"Lizzie I love you, I love everything about you. I love your smile, I love the way your golden locks hang perfectly around your beautiful face. I love the way you care about people, even if they don't care for you that much. I want to be the one who is allowed to hold your hand, shower you with hugs and kisses. I love you Lizzie, I always have, and if you let me, I'll spend the rest of my life still loving you."
Tears escaped Lizzie's eyes, she didn't know what to say. Her best friend had just declared his love for her, what was she supposed to say?
Gordo saw the tears fall from her face. He hoped for the life of him that they were tears of joy but deep down he was worried they might be tears of sadness. He raised his hand to her cheek attempting to wipe her tears. As his hand touched her soft skin, Lizzie abruptly stepped back, releasing her hands from his.
Lizzie couldn't quite get her head around this, it was all happening so fast. Through tears she managed to speak "but.....but what about Parker?"
"Parker is a nice girl, but I don't love her.....I love you." Gordo replied softly.
"Stop saying that." Lizzie demanded.
"But it's the truth! I love you Lizzie, I always have."
"but you can't love me, we're friends, *best* friends, this shouldn't be happening. I love Ethan, Gordo. I'm happy, Ethan makes me happy!" Said Lizzie, immediately seeing the hurt visible in Gordo's face.
"I'm sorry, Gordo."
"Yeah, me too."
Gordo turned and walked away with his head hanging low, trying to hold back the floodgates.
Lizzie hurried to catch up to him, "Gordo, don't leave me, we're still friends."
Gordo gently shook his head with a quiet sneer "just go back to Ethan, Lizzie!"
Gordo continued to walk away from the love of his life leaving her stood there, watching his retreating back, wondering if she was ever going to see her good friend again. Not knowing what else to do, Lizzie followed Gordo's advice and went back to Ethan.
