Chapter 1. Friday

"Bye Gordo! Bye Miranda!", 15 years old Lizzie McGuire said. Her friends waved and left. She got into her house and found her brother crying. "Matt? What's wrong?" He looked up.
"Mom and Dad… a drunk driver hit their car" Lizzie's face turned pale. "They're in a coma", he finished. She tried to think clearly.
"I-I'll call Mrs. Gordon. She can drive us there", she said, acting calmly for Matt.
"Hello? Gordon's residence, Roberta speaking"
"Mrs. Gordon, it's Lizzie"
"Hi sweetie, do you want to talk to David?"
"No… could you drive Matt and me to the hospital? My parents are there…" Roberta understood everything.
"I'll be right there", they hung up.

Later, at the hospital (Gordo and Miranda are there too):

"Ms. McGuire, can I speak with you?" she nodded and the doctor took her to an empty room. "Your parents conditions are critical. Both of them" Lizzie began sobbing. "We'd like your permission to turn the machines off"
"Are they… dead?", she asked.
"They show no brain activity" she sobbed harder.
"Y-You can un-unplug them" he nodded and left the room. She sat next to her brother and they mourned together.
"Elizabeth, Matthew, you're living with us", Roberta said. They nodded and got in her car. Miranda hugged Lizzie. They arrived the Gordon's and she ran to Gordo's bedroom. Matt stood there, uncomfortable, but Roberta told him to get in, so he did. Gordo and Miranda went to the backyard.
"This is going to be so hard…", Miranda said. He nodded. "I mean, she's not gonna be the same"
"I know", he said and hugged her. She smiled, a car honked.
"Miranda! Hija! Let's go!", her mom, Daniella, yelled. Miranda kissed Gordo goodbye on the cheek and left. He ran up to his room and knocked. Lizzie opened and they sat on his bed.
"Sorry I took your room", she said. "But I don't feel comfortable anywhere else…", she started crying again, he gave her a big hug.
"It's okay…", he assured her.
"Thanks, Gordo…" she let out a tiny smile and kissed him on the cheek. "You're great" she went down, he stood there, thinking about that night's events. He realized he needed some help.
"David! Dinner's served!" he went down and sat. "David, Elizabeth and you are sleeping in your room because we trust you. Matthew, you can have the guest room" Matt muttered 'thanks'.

After eating, they went up. Lizzie changed into a baby-pink baby tee and pants and braided her hair in two braids. She laid in bed, watching Gordo play with his hacky sack.
"You're very good", she praised him. He smiled.
"If you want me to, I'll teach ya", he said. She nodded.
"Sure"
"Really?", he asked, surprised. She nodded again.
"Why not? It seems like fun", she stated. His smile grew bigger.
"Sure, we'll practice… you look cute", he blurted out. They both blushed. She muttered 'thanks' and smiled. He got in the bed too (it was a king size) and they heard a knock. He opened it to find Matt standing there.
"Can I… sleep with you?" they nodded and he got in Lizzie's side, leaving her in the middle. Gordo got in bed again and he turned the lights off. "Night"
"Night", Lizzie and Gordo replied. When Roberta and Howard looked into the room, they smiled at the sight of the three children. Lizzie's head was laying on Gordo's chest. Matt was next to Lizzie, smiling (they were holding hands). Gordo's hand was on Lizzie's braids. They closed the door slowly and left.
