A/N: OMG, you have no clue how much your reviews meant to me! I literally did a happy dance, lol! Thank you so much for the compliments; I can't believe I didn't get a flame!
I'm so so so sorry I haven't updated! I really hope I still have readers! It's just that school has left me swamped in work! In fact, I should be doing homework right now…but I'm updating instead 'cause I love you guys! BTW…for whoever read the original version of Ch. 2…It sucked and I'm sorry I posted it. I was just trying to get a chapter up, and forgot the whole "quality is more important than quality" thing. So enjoy and please R&R!
I haven't done this yet... Disclaimer: I'm just a teenager with a dream of being a director someday and a defective computer…so do me a favor and don't crush my dreams. DON'T SUE!
The morning sun slid in between the blinds and into the Italian hotel room. The rays fell onto two blonde teenagers, waking one of them. Lizzie sniffled and wiped at her face, sticky from old tears. She got up and changed her clothes, ignoring Kate who was talking in her sleep. She sneaked out of the room and knocked on Gordo's door. Ethan answered, "Hey, Lizzay!"
Lizzie hesitated before saying anything. Nope, no sparks. No oh-so-familiar butterflies in her stomach. "Hi, Ethan. Is Gordo up?"
"Nah, he's still conked out. Come in, though." Lizzie followed Ethan into the room and laughed at the sight of Gordo. He was curled up with one leg on top of the covers and one under. His hands were entangled in his mop of curls, and he had a slight grin on his lips. She wanted so badly to just kiss him…oh what the heck? She hesitantly leaned over and kissed him on the tip of his nose. He sleepily opened his eyes and smiled.
"Hey." He mumbled.
"Morning, sleepyhead! Rise and shine, we've got a long flight ahead of us!" Lizzie plopped herself down in an armchair and watched Gordo pack up his things. He really was cute, and Lizzie wondered why she hadn't noticed before.
Soon Gordo was finished, and went over to Lizzie. He kissed her cheek and she stood to hug him. I have to say something, she thought. If we're going to be more than friends, let's do it…and if not, I can't lead him on like this.
"Gordo," she whispered into his shoulder. Gordo waved at Ethan who took the hint and slunk off into the bathroom.
"Yes, Liz?" Gordo asked.
"What…does this make us?"
Gordo pulled away. "What do you mean?"
"I mean…friends, friends with benefits, a couple?"
"Oh…what do you want us to be?"
"I-I'm just wondering if we're willing to risk our friendship?" Lizzie asked. Gordo thought for a moment, then awkwardly bent to zip up his suitcase. "Gordo, I have to know what you're thinking."
"I don't know, Liz. I mean…I can't lose you."
"I can't lose you either."
Gordo opened his mouth, but was cut off by Miss Ungermeyer. "Come on, kids! We have to get a move on! Meet in the lobby in 5 minutes!"
"What were you going to say, Gordo?" Lizzie asked, trying to read his expression. It was impossible to figure out what he was thinking.
"It's not important…we can talk later."

Gordo woke to the sun just beginning to rise in the sky. The shade on the airplane window was not very affective, and the powerful light hit Gordo's eyes fast and hard. He sat up a little straighter and rubbed at his eyes. Looking over to his left, he saw Lizzie. She was sleeping on his shoulder again. He smiled to himself and wrapped his arms around her. Her eyes snapped open, but relaxed when she noticed that the arms belonged to Gordo. "Gordo…" she whispered, snuggling into him. "We have to talk about…all this."
"I know..." Then, gathering all the strength he could muster Gordo added, "Liz, will you go out with me?"
"Do you mean that?" Lizzie pulled out of his warm embrace and stared into his blue irises.
"Of course!" Gordo said.
Lizzie was thrilled, scared, and sad all at the same time. For a moment, she questioned her own sanity. "Gordo, I can't go out with you."
It felt to Gordo like the world was ending. "Why not?"
"I…I…" Lizzie couldn't think of anything to say. She began to cry. Gordo wanted to reach out and hold her, but figured she probably didn't want that.
"But I like you…a lot. And I thought you liked me, too?" Gordo whispered.
"I'm scared, Gordo!" Lizzie than ran into the lavatory, shutting the door hard behind her.
"Fine..." Gordo whispered to himself. "Just don't come running to me when some idiot breaks your heart again…"
Hey clueless why you do you always do this
Do I have to go through this with you again
Cryin' on my shoulder
Whenever the nights grow colder
And you need more than another fair weather friend
Will it end before sundown
Before the prettiest girl in this town
Runs away from a showdown with me again
Come on baby, you need a rock you can't toss out
When you're under the covers
You think you're so strong
Holdin' on to me now
You know why you come around
I'm the rock you can't toss out
Don't kiss me say you're gonna miss me
Then ditch me till you come back again
Don't touch me
Tell me how much you love me
If you're not gonna love me
Like the world's gonna end
Maybe I never told you
That I want to hold you
And never wanted to be just friends…
