I bolted out of there as soon as humanly possible.
'How could I have said 'that'?' I thought as I hopped into my car, wanting to get away as quick as humanly possible. What the hell was wrong with me? I was about to have sex with the most popular girl in our school, (something most guys claimed to do but I doubt many have actually accomplished) but what did I do? I have no idea.
Miranda. how could I have made that mistake? Miranda and Beth look 'nothing' alike. As I thought this, I pulled up in to my drive way.
At least my mom's gone for the week end, and my dad is living with his new 'Girl Friend'. at least I'll be sure they wont 'Shrink' me to death.
As I approached my door step I saw a strange figure in the shadows in front of my door. Was it 'moving'? I walked cautiously not sure what or 'who' it was, and then I saw it, something silver glimmering. the ring. MIRANDA!
I ran the rest of the way, every thing that had previously occupied my mind about the party, and Beth were immediately set aside, all that could wait.the 'world' could wait, now it was all about 'her' and why she was here.
When I got closer I saw she was drawn up into a little ball sobbing uncontrollably and clutching her knees as if letting go would be the end of her. I immediately put my arms around her.
"Miranda?" I whispered. All I got were more sobs as she hugged me. I slowly helped her to her feet and hurriedly unlocked the door. As soon as I let her go to open the door, she collapsed once again sobbing. I gathered her in my arms and carried her up the stairs to my room.
I placed her on my bed and held her as she sobbed. I'd never seen her like this. 'ever' the last time that even came 'close' was when her parents were splitting up and her dad decided to move to Mexico.
As I held her I noticed how small she was, she fit perfectly into my arms.I wished I could hold her forever.I have to stop thinking like this; she's in pain!
I couldn't stand to see her in pain, seeing her like this made me want to take all her pain away but 'how'? I've always seen Miranda as stronger one between us. even when she has her own pain she always seems to be able to help me with mine.
But today, I'd have to be strong for her, like she'd been for me so many times.
God she was in 'a lot' of pain. She was sitting on my bed clinging to my waist for dear life, her head buried in my chest, and her entire body shaking as she sobbed.
There was only one thing I could think of that I could do. I had to do for her what she'd done so many times for me.
Normally I'd rather die than do this, but this was Miranda and she needed me, so I tightened my grip around her lightly kissed her hair then rested my chin on her head. And slowly scarcely above a whisper I began to sing to her. (It was a rock ballad version of 'I'LL STAND BY YOU') (A/N: think of Gordo's voice resembling that of the lead singer in CREED not 'too' amazing but nice)
'Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now.
Don't be ashamed to cry,'
She started sobbing harder into my chest as I continued.
'let me see you through
Cause I've seen the dark side too.
When the night falls on you,
You don't know what to do,
Nothing you confess
could make me love you less
I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you,'
Her sobs slowly became less frantic.
'Won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.
So, if you're mad get mad,
Don't hold it all inside ,
Come on and talk to me now.
And hey, what you got to hide ?
I get angry too
But I'm alot like you.
When you're standing at the crossroads ,
don't know which path to choose ,
Let me come along ,
Cause even if your wrong
I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you,
Won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.'
I noticed that a rogue tear had escaped my eye, and I too was crying.
'Take me into your darkest hour ,
And I'll never desert you.
I'll stand by you.
And when, when the night falls on you baby ,
you're feeling all alone ,
You won't be on your own,
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you,
won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
and I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you.'
By the time I was done she was no longer sobbing. She sat there quietly resting against my chest, after a while I figured she'd cried her self to sleep, as I closed my eyes to do the same I heard her voice, scratchy and soft undoubtedly from the extensive crying.
"He's dead." was all she said, out of nowhere, she offered no explanation, and she just threw the words out and let them drop.
"Who?"
"My. my d. dad. he's..d...de...dead" she answered holding back tears.
"Miranda." I was cut off as she lifted her head and started to speak.
"I was at home listening to music while my mom was at school when I got this phone call; I figured it was you or maybe Beth even though I haven't spoken to her lately." She said this staring straight ahead never looking at me. "I figured 'who else would call so late?'. Then when I picked up the phone." she drew in her breath "it was the Mexican hospital saying that my dad was 'dead'." I heard her choke back a sob "he had 'cancer' and had been hospitalized for a month in intensive care." she said her breath getting shallow, and letting the tears well in her eyes but never letting them escape.
"Miranda" I said instinctively reaching for her hand, "first off, I'm not going to say 'I'm sorry' because one it won't help and two, I don't want you to think I pity you because I don't. I do feel horrible about your father's death, and I want you to know how much I care.and.I understand.before you say any thing let me finish, I don't know what it's like to lose a parent and I won't pretend I do, but I understand that this is tearing you up inside, and that you need a friend.and I'll 'always' be there for you no matter what." I said this a little rushed as to keep her from cutting me off, if I knew Miranda, she'd kill me after saying 'I'm sorry' or 'I understand'
She looked at me a moment then said "I can't help but find some of that familiar"
"Well, I kind of got the inspiration for that from something my best friend told me not too long ago," I said recalling the night my parents arguing finally drove me out of the house.
"Gordo. did you mean it?" she asked quietly looking down at her ring.
"Every word. now what part are you referring to?"
"Um. where you said you wouldn't desert me." she said this still looking down at her ring.
"Of course, I meant it" I said putting the hand which sported my ring on top of hers.
"Then.would you do something for me?" she asked finally looking at me revealing silent tears streaming down her face.
"Anything."
"Would you. I mean. could you come to the funeral with me?" she asked nervously through tears.
"I wouldn't miss it."
"It's.in Mexico in a few days." She said as if expecting me to suddenly change my mind.
"Just tell me when you're ready to leave."
She jumped up and hugged me "Thank you, Gordo!"
"Any time 'Randa, now lets get some sleep."
"Okay.night"
"Night"

A/N: Okay I know I have the habit of making my characters sing to each other, but what can I say I love music. I know tragedy keeps striking for these poor people, and Gordo hasn't fully sorted out his feelings, but that will all come into play later.
To my awesome reviewers:
Hockeylover: Hey THANKS!!! I'm on someone's Favorite List! I'm glad you liked the song in CH.1 it's one of my favorites too. Yeah I agree poor Gordo but he'll survive. Thank you I'm glad you like my style of writing, and I thought it would kill my story if they did go all the way. As for there being a lot of L/G fics, that's true but I never said that was bad it's just not my angle on this one. I like the fact that the sexual content wasn't through the roof I mean there is a plot to my story, and as for the in character thing, your right she isn't in character too much but I like her that way. So thanks again for every thing and BTW I like your M/T story!
Black Knight 03: LOL glad you liked it, so what did ya think of this one?
The gifted one: LOL thanks, and I'm glad you found it amusing. Your very welcome for my reviews, just keep on updating!
Fuck You(the original): AW! How sweet! I'm proud to be deemed worthy of you're your defense! And using your Fuck You typing ability for good isn't such a bad thing is it? I'm glad you believe my story's on fire! I can honestly say you're the first to ever say 'Fuck You...in a good way though!' to me Thanks!
