Stole
A/N: I want to start off by saying that I am working on both the sequel to "All My Life" and "The Heart Won't Lie". I got so many reviews (THANK YOU GUYS!!!) telling me that I need to do a sequel to "Heart". I have the song picked out, so I will get started on it ASAP. Also, I won't be able to add any stories until after July 27 b/c I'm going on vacation to sunny, beautiful Florida!! YAY!! Lol…Anywayz, this story is a different kind of Lizzie fic for me. I'm used to writing nice, fluffy ones about L/G, but this doesn't focus on that. It was also really upsetting for me to write. I had to stop cuz I was about to burst into tears!! I hope you enjoy and don't forget to review!!!!!
Disclaimer: The only things I own are the story idea and the character Josh Townsend. I wish I owned Adam Lamburg, but some wishes don't come true!! The characters from Lizzie McGuire belong to Disney, and the song "Stole" belongs to Kelly Rowland.

"Josh! Breakfast!" Josh Townsend groaned as he looked at the clock on his nightstand. 6:30 Friday morning. "Great!" he thought sarcastically. "Another day of school! Joy!" Nobody noticed him. He was just a smart kid. That's all. 'Well, they'll notice me today,' he vowed silently. 'You can bet they'll notice me.'

~He was always such a nice boy
The quiet one
With good intentions
He was down for his brother
Respectful to his mother
A good boy
But good don't get attention
One kid with a promise
The brightest kid in school
He's not a fool
Reading books about science and smart stuff
It's not enough, oh
Cause smart don't make you cool, whoa~

"Lizzie!" Miranda exclaimed. "That's such a cool outfit!" "Thank ya!" Lizzie said, walking towards Miranda and Gordo. "Hey babe," Gordo greeted his girlfriend with a kiss. "Excited about the play?" "Yeah!" Lizzie exclaimed. "I can't believe opening night is tonight!" Just then, they noticed Josh heading towards them wearing a long trench coat. Lizzie noticed the evil look in his eyes just before he pulled out a gun. "NO!" screamed Lizzie.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~He's not invisible anymore
With his father's 9 and a broken fuse
Since he walked through that classroom door
He's all over primetime news~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Josh fired two shots, hitting Miranda in the stomach and Lizzie in the chest. Two of the girls that had turned him down. Gordo watched in horror as his two best friends' bodies crumpled to the ground. Josh walked off, looking for his next victim. Several people rushed to where Gordo was to try to help. But, it was too late for Lizzie.

~Mary's got the same size hands
As Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints
At Mann's Chinese Theatre Show
She coulda been a movie star
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Now we'll never know~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Fifteen minutes later, the horrible nightmare was over. Police were everywhere. News crews were there interviewing people. People at home just sat in front of their televisions in awe as they listened to what Josh's family and peers had to say.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~They were crying to the camera
Said he never fitted in
He wasn't welcomed
He showed up to the parties
We was hanging in
Some guys were puttin' him down
Bullying him round round
Now I wish I woulda talked to him
Give him the time of day
Not turn away
If I woulda been the one to maybe go this far
He might have stayed at home
Playing angry chords on his guitar~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They watched as Josh was handcuffed and escorted out of the school by police. He knew he made a terrible mistake. But, it was too late. Two innocent people had died that fateful day, and two others were seriously injuried.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~He's not invisible anymore
With his baggy pants and his legs in chains
Since he walked through that classroom door
Everybody knows his name~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Gordo stood outside the school trying to get a glimpse of the people they were bringing out. He saw the paramedics bring Miranda out on a stretcher. Thank God she was still alive. He just prayed that she would recover. He was really going need her now that the love of his life was gone. Who knew that their senior year would be like this? Just then, they brought out two more stretchers, but there were sheets over the bodies. Gordo couldn't take anymore. He just broke down. "Lizzie's gone forever," was the only thought running through his head.

~Mary's got the same size hands (oh)
As Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints (ooh)
At Mann's Chinese Theatre Show
She coulda been a movie star (she coulda been a star, oh)
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Now we'll never know
(Now we'll never know)~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Gordo looked up just in time to see Kate come out on a stretcher also. As she passed the tow covered bodies, she screamed, "NO! Ethan! Come back to me!" 'So Ethan was the other person killed,' he thought to himself as he let the tears roll down his cheeks.

~Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away
(He had game, oh)
He had a tryout with the Sixers
Couldn't wait for Saturday
Now we're never gonna see him slam (never see him)
Flying high as Kobe can
His life was stole (stole, oh)
Oh, now we'll never know
(Now we'll never know)~

That was five years ago, April 21, 2006, to be exact. That day, every student at Hillridge High School realized that their lives were forever changed. Now, in the lobby of the school, there rests a plaque that reads:
In Loving Memory Of
Elizabeth McGuire
And
Ethan Craft
April 21, 2006
Two students who's lives were stolen without warning
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Oh no no no
Yeah, their lives were stole
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
