Chapter 5- Nursing Her Back to Health
"So, she just fainted?" asked Miranda.
"Yes, she just fainted!" said Gordo for the millionth time.
"Gordo?" Lizzie called from the other room.
Gordo went to the living room were Lizzie was left to rest when she fainted. Gordo kneeled at the couch. He stoked her blonde hair. "How are you? Do you need anything?" he asked still stroking her hair.
Lizzie smiled at Gordo. She touched his face. "I don't need anything. What time is it?"
"Eleven o'clock. Why?"
"I am really tired. Where are we all gonna sleep tonight?"
"In the basement, with sleeping bags. But, I think you should sleep in Miranda's bed. Just in case."
"Gordo, I will be fine! Don't worry."
"Liz, will you just sleep in her bed? We will sleep on the floor next to you." "Ok, ok. "
"Come on, let's go get you some pajamas on, k?" Gordo said as he picked her up. He took her to Miranda's room and set her on the bed. "Here is your duffle bag. Your stuff should be in here. If you need anything just call. Miranda and I are going to make you something to eat and move the sleeping bags up here ok?"
Lizzie smiled. "You take such good care of me! Thanks! I don't need anything but I will be down after I change," she said with a smile.
"Are you sure you can walk down the stairs?" Gordo said concerned.
"I'll be fine! Now go make me some soup!" she said and hit him playfully.
Gordo went out the door and looked at her on the steps. She looked down at him and smiled.
Gordo and Miranda were making homemade chicken noodle soup when they heard a crash.
Gordo rushed to the stairs. He saw Lizzie on them and rushed to get her. He picked her up and took her downstairs.
"I am fine, really. I just fell. Can I please help you guys?" she pleaded.
"Lizzie, why don't you sit on the stool next to the island and cut up these carrots, ok?" said Miranda.
Gordo helped Lizzie off the couch and to the stool.
"Guys, I am fine really. Don't worry so much," she said right when she lost her balance on the stool.
Gordo ran over and caught her. "Liz come on, why don't we got lye down while Miranda finishes this up. She will bring you some."
Gordo helped Lizzie up the stairs. His arm around her back, her arm around his neck. When they got up to Miranda's room, Gordo helped Lizzie on the bed. Just as she was in Miranda came up with three bowls of soup. Gordo propped Lizzie's pillow up and helped her into a sitting position.
"Thanks Miranda, can I have her soup?" Gordo asked reaching for the soup.
Miranda handed it to him and a spoon. He took a spoonful and blew on it. He put some into her mouth. "Good?" he asked.
"Wonderful! Great Job Miranda!" she said with her mouth full.
They all laughed together.
"I really did like that, but I am full. Thank you Gordo, and Miranda." She said after the bowl was almost half gone.
"Anytime," they said in unison. They all laughed.
Miranda decided to go get the sleeping bags and Gordo said he would come to help.
"Be back in a sec. Just rest until we come back," Gordo said stroking her hair off her face.
As he left her heard her say her name.
"Gordo, don't go," she said.
"I am just going to get the sleeping bags from downstairs. It will be okay," Gordo said this and stared out the door again.
"Please," she said so he could hear him.
He came back. He went and sat on the bed. When he did this Lizzie scooted over. Gordo lie down and put his hand behind her neck. He rubbed her arm with his fingers.
"I am scared," she said looking at him.
"Why are you scared?" he asked.
"About Shaun." She said.
"Liz, understand that he hurt you, and me by calling you that. As long as you're with me you don't have to be scared," he said.
He took his arm out under her neck and lifted it up and over her shoulder. She lay there while he rubbed her shoulder waiting for Miranda.
Soon Lizzie had fallen asleep. When Miranda got back up to her room she saw Lizzie was asleep and motioned that she had the sleeping bags. Gordo slipped out from under the blankets and covered her back up.
Gordo went the bathroom and then changed and got into his sleeping bag and fell asleep.
