Chapter 1

Elizabeth McGuire, commonly known as Lizzie, watched warmly. Every eye was on the bride and groom. He best friend, Miranda Sanchez, was the bride. And, her once-annoying little brother, matt, was the groom.

Lizzie glanced at her mother Jo, was crying with happiness, and Sam, her father, his arm around Jo. She quickly turned back to Miranda, who looked especially beautiful in her wedding gown. She walked up to Matt.

Lizzie grinned as the pastor began leading Miranda and Matt through their wedding vows. She was shocked and happy; her tough-girl best friend was marrying her annoying brother. Looking back at the couple's happy face. She remembered her once happy face, rarely shown now.

Lizzie had been dating Ethan Craft, and had been for 3 years - tenth through twelfth grade. He had asked her to marry him. Of course, she had agreed.

As the wedding day approached, Lizzie saw less and less of Gordo, and the times she did see him, he was always sad, like he didn't like her dating Ethan. She remembered him receiving a letter from AMMDU - Australia's Movie and Music Directing University - the biggest and best and most expensive directing University in the world. The university's founder was Steven Spielberg. Gordo had been granted a scholarship.

Lizzie hoped he wouldn't go, but Ethan did. He obviously saw Gordo as an obstacle to their love. Everyone knew that the pair loved each other deeply, and they just didn't want to admit it.

With only one month to the wedding, Lizzie had her last and final talk with Gordo. They talk about many things. But he desperately tried to change Lizzie's mind to cancel her wedding. Lizzie had refused. Then Gordo had leaned in, and kissed her on the lips, hard and passionately. Even though she knew it was wrong, she couldn't resist, and kissed him back fiercely. Little did she know the kiss would change her life forever. That was the last she saw of him.

Just one week before the wedding, two of the most terrible things happened. First, Gordo called, and told Lizzie's parents he was leaving for college. He had accepted the invitation to AMMDU, and was leaving in three days - missing her wedding.

To make matters worse, she no longer had a wedding. Ethan had cancelled it. Angrily, he told her that he had seen her kissing Gordo, and could no longer trust her. Even though she told him Gordo wasn't in Hillridge anymore, Ethan still cancelled it.

Those events led her to where she was now. She dated a few times, but lost interest. She attended a great college - Hillridge College of Fashion (HCF). It was a two-year college, and after she got out, she began looking for a job.

At first she took several small jobs, like being a waitress and such, but her lucky break came just 3 months after she graduated. She was called on to be a fashion reviewer for Ralph Lauren - a well-paid and nice job. Even better, Ralph Lauren had an office in Hillridge, where she worked, and luckily she didn't have to move.

So she worked and worked, while Matt and Miranda began dating. Half a year later, Matt proposed, and the marriage was held today.

"Lizzie!" Jo whispered loudly. "What are you doing?" Lizzie snapped out of her daydream, and looked at the newlyweds. They were feasting along with the guests, but it was a small wedding, as they had little money - only the couple's family, Gordo's family, and some close friends were invited, like Lanny.

Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Everyone except Lizzie.

Miranda finished feeding Matt a piece of cake and walked over to Lizzie. Loudly, she said, "Matt and I have decided where we are going for our honeymoon."

Everybody looked at her.

"We've decided to go to Australia and New Zealand," she told them. At the mention of Australia, Lizzie's ears perked up.

"And," she continued, "We're going to bring Lizzie along!"

Lizzie blushed fiercely. What was going on here? she thought.

"Really," Lizzie told them, "it's your honeymoon. I shouldn't go."

"Nah," Matt said. "We're just being nice. Come on." They persisted, and Lizzie gave in.

She looked forward to seeing Gordo again.
