Chapter 1-The Fight
My life was going great my freshman year and half of my sophomore year of high school. I had two of the greatest friends, life was great. Then the day came when our worst nightmare occurred, Lizzie and I lost our best friend Miranda, to a car accident with her parents that I was in too. So it was almost half of our sophomore year of high school, Miranda was gone and Lizzie was taking it harder than I thought. I tried to talk to her but she wouldn't budge. Lizzie started pulling away from me. She would make excuses not to hang out with me at snack and lunch. The first few days she supposedly had to go to the library to study for some big history test. Then the next week I saw her hanging out with other girls, I'm guessing they were from her history class. I had to say something, I was sick of all her lies.
Gordo: "Lizzie, can I talk to you for a second?"
I stood right in front of her so she couldn't refuse and now that I was much taller, she couldn't get away.
Lizzie: "Umm, yeah sure. I'll call you guys later." she told the two girls and they left.
Gordo: "I see you've made new friends?"
Lizzie: "Well yeah, there from my history class, they were helping me study." she lied.
Gordo: "Lizzie, you told me your test was during 4th period. I waited for you at lunch but you never came. Your studying should have been over."
Lizzie: "Well…..I……we all have English together and we were doing a……project! Yeah a project. It might take another week to do or more. I'll let you know though." she
Gordo: "You know what……..don't bother." he said walking away angrily.
Lizzie: "Gordo! Wait!!!!" she yelled after him.
I heard her loud and clear but I never looked back. I mean I didn't do anything wrong. Before Miranda died we were so close. I was ready to tell her how I really felt about her but now it was obvious how she felt about me. It's like when Miranda left, she made it seem like I wasn't there either. I was nobody to her.
I went home and sulked in my bed. I guess I had fallen asleep because the next thing I knew my mom was waking me up.
Roberta: "Gordo! Gordo! Wake up, Lizzie's here." she said shaking him awake.
Gordo: "Ok, ok I'm awake. Stop shaking me. Why isn't she coming upstairs?" he asked confused.
Oops, we fought earlier. No wonder, she was probably here to tell me off. Even though I didn't feel like hearing it, I had to go.
Roberta: "I'm not sure honey, she insisted on staying outside."
Gordo: "Uhh, yeah ok. Thanks mom. I'll be down in a minute."
I went into my bathroom and fixed my hair and clothes. I headed downstairs slowly thinking of what to say. Should I be mean or nice Should I apologize? I wasn't sure. I walked outside and there she was sitting on the front steps of my porch.
Gordo: "Wow, you still remember where I live!?" he said sarcastically.
Lizzie: "Ha, ha very funny Gordo. I love your sarcasm."
Gordo: "Lizzie, come on. You haven't been to my house for weeks, ever since Miranda…..never mind. Come on Lizzie, can you blame me for being a little sarcastic."
Lizzie: "You know what Gordo, I came to talk to you about us but I guess being sarcastic and rude is much more important to you. I'm leaving." she said angrily.
Gordo: "No! Wait, sorry can you blame me for being a little mad at you?" he said grabbing her arm, she sat back down reluctantly.
Lizzie: "I guess not. Gordo, I know you've noticed that I've been a little distant from you."
Gordo: "A little?!" he said interrupting her.
'Your
subtleties The walls start breathing
They strangle me
I can't explain myself at all.
And
all the wants
And all the needs
All I don't want to need at
all.
My mind's unweaving
Maybe
it's best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this
evening
I give the final blow.
Lizzie: "Anyway…….When Miranda…..left us, it hurt me so much. I felt like if she was gone what was the point in us being friends. I was so attached to you two, it was hard enough saying goodbye to one of my best friends and knowing I'll never see her again. I don't want to have to do it again. Gordo……it's best if we just find new friends to hang out with. I don't want to get my hopes up and then lose you too."
My head started to spin. I can't believe Lizzie's doing this.
When darkness
turns to light,
It ends tonight
It ends tonight.
Gordo: "Lizzie….I…..but I'm not going anywhere. Why are acting like this?"
Lizzie: "Because Gordo, it's for the best, ok!" she said frustrated.
Gordo: "I don't understand you anymore Lizzie. We've been friends our whole life, why are you ending it now?!" he said standing up angrily.
Lizzie: "I'm not ending it. Look we could still be friends, just not as close."
Gordo: "I don't want that!"
A falling
star The walls start breathing When
darkness turns to light
Least I fall alone.
I can't explain what you can't
explain.
You're finding things that you didn't know
I look at
you with such disdain
My mind's
unweaving
Maybe it's best you leave me alone.
A weight is
lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just
a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight
It
ends tonight,
It ends tonight
Lizzie: "Gordo…you have to understand that……."
Gordo: "What, Lizzie? Why are you acting like a child, we're not in elementary anymore Lizzie. We're in high school, act mature for once! You think finding new friends is going to make everything better?"
Lizzie: "Yeah, Gordo I do. Just like you!"
Now I'm on my
own side All
these thoughts locked inside When
darkness turns to light
It's better than being on your side
It's my fault when
your blind
It's better that I see it through your eyes
Now you're the first to know
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just
a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight
It
ends tonight,
It ends
Gordo: "What!? What are you talking about?"
Lizzie: "I see you hanging out with Larry and Ethan. Laughing and acting like everything is ok. Miranda's dead Gordo! You didn't even go to her funeral. You just disappeared and then you came back to school like nothing happened! We lost our best friend, and you didn't even show any emotion at all. You were in the car with her. You couldn't even be there for me" she said as her eyes started to water.
She was right, I didn't go to her funeral. I didn't go because I was scared……scared of letting her go.
Gordo: "Just because she's gone, doesn't mean you forget your old friends." he said coldly.
Lizzie: "Yeah…….and you know I could say the same to you." she said walking away.
When darkness
turns to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a
little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight
It
ends tonight,
It ends tonight
I didn't run after. I let her go. I let her walk out of my life. Nothing I said would make it right. What happened to us?
Tonight
Insight
When
darkness turns to light,
It ends tonight'
