Chapter 14

Miranda was stunned to say the least, as she heard that her two best friends had admitted their feelings for each other just to be torn apart by the worst thing that could happen at the first date: the guy you have just fallen in love with kisses another girl right in the very moment where you return from the bathroom. But then she quickly second guessed the whole thing: Was this really possible? Gordo, toying with Lizzie's feelings like that after he had a crush on her since the fourth grade and was too scared to act on it? Miranda highly doubted that, because that didn't sound like Gordo and there was only thing she was certain of right now: Something was very wrong here and she was determined to get to the bottom of it.

With her sobbing silenced for now Lizzie of course couldn't help but ask herself why Miranda didn't say anything and so she asked: "Miranda, please say something because I really need some help here in this big emotional mess that I'm in right now." It took Miranda quite a while to gather her thoughts and to say: "I'm so sorry to hear that Chica, but I know that Gordo wouldn't hurt your feelings after finally getting his big dream fulfilled even if that might sound a little bit cliché." Hearing from Miranda again for how long Gordo did have a crush on her, got her in touch with that big part in her heart that still had strong feelings for him even if he had kissed Brooke Baker on their first date. But even if she wanted to believe that the whole thing hadn't been Gordo's fault, there was still one thing that was missing: Proof, there was no proof so far for the theory that he didn't want to get back together with his former girlfriend. Of course Miranda could practically sense the certain uncertainty that was brewing in Lizzie's mind even they weren't in the same room now and she finally said: "I can imagine what you might feel right now, but you've got try and put those doubts you have right now to rest and there's only thing that is the right thing to do at this moment."

Lizzie knew exactly what her other good friend meant, but she was so unsure if she was really up for that challenge: What do I say to him? Will he want to talk to me at all? Of course she would only know that, if she was going to try it but to her that was easier said than done even if was kind of uncharacteristic to her to act like that with a good friend being involved. She took another moment to think about what Miranda had just said and deep down she knew that her other best friend was somehow right, even if the fight with her negative self wasn't won just yet.

Of course Miranda knew that the wheels in her best friend's mind where probably spinning right now and she finally said: "I know that you might say, that it's easy for me to say that and I wasn't present when it happened but please don't throw away that special thing you have with Gordo.

There probably is a big part in you that's still so mad at Gordo, because you think on one side that he maybe has some feelings for another girl but don't let that part win Lizzie because believe or not: You and Gordo are meant to be together." Of course Miranda hoped so much that she would be able to nudge Lizzie in the right direction, because she would hate it when her two best friends would throw away the possibility to finally be together as a couple after all these years.

"I can sense that you're somehow torn right now but deep down I know that you will make the decision that's right for you in the end." Miranda said before she finally ended the call and as Lizzie let herself fall back on her bed she thought: What is the right thing to do? Of course Jo was pretty worried for the emotional well-being of her daughter and which mother wouldn't be? But she also knew one thing: The process of her child growing also included, that she sometimes needed some space to figure some important life changing things out on her own.

Lizzie spent the next hours doing a lot of thinking and of course Sam and Jo really hoped that Lizzie would get back together with Gordo, because secretly she and Roberta Gordon had wished for this day so long to come: Their children getting together as the perfect couple in their opinion.

Two hours later

One half of the afternoon was almost over and then it wouldn't take long to get dark outside and Lizzie didn't know how much longer she would have the courage to go through with it, she finally got up from her bed to take action in this complicated matter: No matter how hard it might be, she was determined to try and rescue her relationship with Gordo. She regretted the fact, that she doubted the honesty of his feelings for quite a while and hoped that it wasn't too late to correct that big mistake.

She left her room after she took one deep breath, of course she had thought the entire time: How did Gordo think about the whole thing that happened on our first date? Oh god I was way too harsh on him and I hope he will able to forgive me. As she reached the bottom of the steps her mom was just on the way to the kitchen and before Lizzie had reached the door she turned around to face her mom and said: "I'm over at Gordo's house now and yes I will be home early." Jo Mc Guire hid her happiness about that, because she exactly knew why her daughter was on the way to the Gordon's house and instead just replied in a very neutral tone: "Okay see you later Honey." Then Lizzie made her way out of the door of the Mc Guire's residence to the one of the Gordon's and the whole time she tried her very best to prepare everything that she was going to say.
