What Was Meant To Be
Disclaimer:
Nada… Not yet anyway.Chapter 1
"We need to talk." Everyone knows that those are the worst four words in the English language; but those were the four words that Gordo seemed to mutter out.
"Umm… okay, lets talk." Lizzie already knew what was coming; for she had heard those exact same words before, and no good came of them.
"Well, Lizzie, we've been going out for what, five months now?"
"Yeah, it will be five on the 16th of this month." They both took a seat on the bench at the park.
"Do you remember how we first got together?"
"Actually I do; it was exactly a week from our 8th grade graduation. The day that I built up enough courage to show my true feelings for you." Lizzie said while staring off into the sky trying to remember every detail that happened that day.
"You kissing me would have never crossed my mind. I didn't know that you liked me more than a friend. I couldn't believe that you 'even' knew that I liked you." Gordo was now glaring at the birds taking a bath from the rainfall earlier that morning.
"Everyone could tell that we had a thing for each other; we were the only clueless ones." After Lizzie made that comment, the only sound that was made, was coming form the little kids playing soccer across from the bench that Lizzie and Gordo sat upon.
Lizzie had now turned toward Gordo and stared at him as he now looked at the invisible cold autumn wind that blew across the wet park. "Gordo?"
"Hmm?"
"I'm not dumb… I know when you're avoiding something. I know that you didn't bring me all the way to the park so that we could talk; talk about something that we have discussed so many times in the past. I think I already know what you are going to say, or want to say… I just… don't… know why." Gordo didn't have a chance to speak before a cold tear flowed down Lizzie's soft skin, and down to the concrete.
Gordo grabbed both of Lizzie's shivering hands with one of his, and with the other, picked her chin up so that she was looking into his big blue eyes.
"Lizzie, after almost five months, I can truly say that I love you with all of my heart. You're my first true girlfriend that I actually care for, and have developed feelings for. Words can't describe how good you've been to me. Its just, at the moment, I don't think I'm ready for so much commitment.
We're barley in the third month of our freshman year, and I'm so stressed out. With school, my friends, family, relationships; its just too much for me to handle right now."
Lizzie pulled her hands away form Gordo's and looked down at her feet. She never wanted Gordo to see her cry; although, she has in the past, she now felt awkward crying around him, even if he was the one to blame for making her shed tears.
"Lizzie, please, look at me." Gordo begged as he tried to comfort her after breaking her heart.
"I understand what you're saying, but I don't believe what you're telling me." Lizzie sobbed as she wiped the tears from her face.
"If you don't want to be with me that's okay; whatever's best for you. I don't want to distract you from anything. Maybe it would be for the best if we did split up." As she spoke those last words, Lizzie rose from the bench and started walking in the direction of her house, leaving Gordo to sit and feel guilty.
He wanted so badly to go after her, but he knew Lizzie too well to know that it was best for him to stay where he was.
He sat and thought, 'this is what I wanted, right?'
