A/N: I hope you enjoy this story. I don't own Lizzie McGuire (Obviously) or the song, which is a song by SheDaisy.
Lizzie had walked in the door of her and Gordo's house when thought that there was something-weird going on she thought. She went up stairs to her room to put her stuff away like usual but she heard a noise coming from down stairs in her office, a place in which nobody ever went.
She walked down to her office and opened the door and their was a surprise in their not one that she wanted, she saw Gordo kissing another women. She didn't even speak all she did was turn around and slammed the door shut
Gordo obviously knew that Lizzie had just saw what was happening, he stopped what he was doing and ran out the door.
"Lizzie, wait." He called.
"No!" Lizzie yelled back trying to hold back tears.
"Let me explain."
"Gordo what is there to explain. Why you did it? That's pretty obvious isn't it?"
"Lizzie it's not obvious."
"Oh really. You know I should've listened to Parker when she told me that you'd do this to me but you know what I let my heart get in the way of listening. It's obvious that you're bored with me and you know what you should've just filed for a divorce claiming that you weren't happy. You know what else I've tried hard, but it's hard when you're always working and I'm working and I'M the one that's always with Rayne OUR daughter."
"I've spent time with her too. And I'm not unhappy with you. I did what I did because I felt lonely. Wow I guess I was unhappy. I do love you."
"Do you know anything about our daughter? Like the fact that she's in day care while we're at work and you've forgotten to pick her up like a dozen of times. And that she doesn't call you dad no matter how much I correct her, she calls Ethan dad. I bet you didn't even know that I didn't go to work for a week because our daughter was sick. It's over Gordo, we're out of here."
Lizzie didn't give him time to talk she walked upstairs and got her keys and went out to her car and pulled out. She was going to pick up Rayne, she was crying and thinking of what she was going to do.
I'm gonna tell you something you don't want to hear
You never listen when I talk
Maybe you'll listen when I walk
So I made up my mind and made a sandwich
And I didn't shed a tear
I gave you one last minute of my time
In this mess I left behind
Lizzie finally arrived at her mom's house. She went in not wanting to talk but she had to ask her mom if her and Rayne could stay the night for a couple nights. Jo said yes and she didn't ask any questions. Lizzie didn't go to work
The next morning she waited until Gordo left the house so she could get a lot of her and Rayne's stuff. She packed as many clothes, and their valuables.
Lizzie was dressed like she was when she went to work. She was dressed in dressy pants, a nice shirt and a blazer on top of that and a nice pair of dress heels. She had visited her lawyer that morning and filed for a divorce.
You'll come home tonight
And turn on the light
Don't you be surprised to find
My little good-byes
The whole day Lizzie had gone apartment shopping and she found a nice place and she signed papers to rent it out and they can move in, in a couple days.
She knew that this was going to be hard on her and her daughter but they'd make it through some how.
Empty hangers by the closet floor
Lipstick tube on the bathroom floor
Unpaid bills by the kitchen phone
I took the Beatles, left Billy Joel
My little good-byes
The next day her lawyer gave her the papers and she drove all the way to the place where the movie set that Gordo was working on. She was dressed nice
When she showed up at the set, it was a good thing that they weren't filming at the time. Lizzie walked up to him in his stupid chair and handed him the papers without saying a word, she walked away after words.
I'm sure you're sure I'll be back in just an hour or two
You'll tape a Hallmark to my door
They always said it better than you
And if ya wonderin' if you're gonna hear from me
Well take a real good look around boy
And it won't be hard to see
He jumped off his chair and technically chased after her.
"Lizzie can we please talk about this?"
"What is there to honestly talk about?"
"Us?"
"There is no longer an us, I'm sorry but that's how it has to be."
"Why?"
"Because I can't live with someone who cheated on me, knowing that they can do it again at anytime no matter how many times he says he won't. You know what I loved you and I still do, I will move on and you will too."
"Lizzie please forgive me."
She didn't get the chance to reply to that before the girl who ruined their relationship had walked up and grabbed Gordo's hand.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but David I was wondering if we are doing anything for dinner tonight?" Charlie asked.
" "David" I got to go." Lizzie said.
"No Lizzie wait."
"Oh this is who Lizzie is. Isn't she the one who couldn't keep you happy?" Charlie claimed.
Lizzie didn't say anything to that, her only response to that was a slap to Charlie's face.
When you come home tonight
And turn on the light
Don't you be surprised to find
My little good-byes
Later that day Lizzie had taken the things that she had left of Gordo to his house and stuck the things on his porch. And she left a note for him that was also put in the box.
Took your favorite Dodgers hat
Left the litter, but I took the cat
My little good-byes
Loaded up the TV in the back of my car
Have fun watching the VCR
My little good-byes
Little Good-byes, oh baby, little good-byes
Bridge:
So cry to your mom and your sympathetic friends
And tell 'em how the story ends
Gordo had returned home without Charlie because he broke everything off with her. He found the box of stuff on the porch and took the things inside and looked through it. All the memories of her came flowing back and he hated himself for messing everything up.
He read the note and it read:
Dearest Gordo,
I'm sorry about the divorce but you know it had to happen. I love you very much but I can't be with you. We should take the time sometime in a few weeks to talk about things, but that doesn't mean that we are going to be together again.
Rayne is going to miss you and we need to work out custody rights. I'm really sorry. Maybe you could learn from this experience I know I have.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth McGuire
My Little Good-byes
Took the hourglass left the sand
Now you got time on your hands
My little good-byes
Took the statue from Japan
Funny little Buddah man
My little good-byes
Changed my voice on the machine
Or there'll be little good-byes with every ring
My little good-byes
Left the pictures took the frames
Got the umbrella, here comes the rain
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Rain, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah,yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Little Good-bye
Gordo walked upstairs and saw that their bedroom was basically empty the closet, her dresser, her vanity. He then walked into Rayne's bedroom and it was also basically empty except for a couple pictures of her that Lizzie left on the dresser, and some pictures that Rayne had colored.
A/N: I know that the song doesn't really go with the story. But I do hope you enjoyed the story. Please review and tell me what you thought.
