XxX sTaRzYgIrL XxX: I'm soooo glad you like it! I'm glad you liked the
song bits and I'm sorry they were confusing. I HAD them italicized but
when I posted the chapter they weren't. I don't know what happened.
Loopylou1: I know it's been awhile. I'm so sorry it takes me so long to update, but the play is getting hectic. We get out so late and if I don't do well in school, no extra curricular activities for me, so...
But anywho, here's the next chap I hope ya'll like it!
Chapter 7
Jo McGuire sat on her bed, surrounded by pictures, crying. They were pictures of happier times.
Her and Sam when they first started dating, their wedding photos, Lizzie as a new born, learning
to walk, holding baby Matt, Matt's third birthday when he and Lizzie were covered in chocolate
cake. Where did she and Sam go wrong? They couldn't see eye to eye on anything anymore.
Yes, separation was for the best. But it still hurt. She continued to cry. Lizzie suddenly opened
the door without warning.
"Oh. Um, I'll come back later."
"No, sweetie. It's okay. Go ahead and come in."
Lizzie walked in and sat on the bed beside her mother. "What's wrong, sweetie?" Jo asked,
concerned.
"Mommy.," Lizzie managed before she burst into tears.
"What's the matter, Elizabeth?" Jo asked, suddenly very worried.
"Stupid, old Gordo."
Jo relaxed somewhat before saying, "What did he do, sugar?"
Lizzie looked up with tear-filled eyes. "Mom, I love him. And he doesn't know and is dating my
archival and he knows that it makes me jealous, but in all fairness, I'm dating his archival
and.,"
"Honey," Jo cut her off, "Breathe. Now I know that you think you love him, but if you
truly loved him you'd let him be happy, even if it's not with you."
"I know, I know I should, but.I don't want to."
"I understand, baby. No one wants to but.It'll be okay."
Lizzie made her way to the school. She saw Gordo and Kate cuddling by the doors. She couldn't
go in without walking past them. She took a deep breath and put on her bravest face. She walks
past them and Gordo tries to catch her eye. He tries to get up and follow her but Kate grabs his
arm and forces him to stay by her side. As soon as Lizzie got inside she felt the intense urge to
cry but refrained from doing do. Ethan walked up to her, "Hey, Lizzie," he said before kissing
her. She pulled back and said, "Hi Ethan."
"So, Lizzie, I was thinking I could pick you up at seven. For the prom."
Lizzie tried to smile as she said, "Alright. That sounds great." Ethan kisses her again. Gordo
comes up and sees them and stops dead in his tracks. Lizzie tries to pull back and sees him. She
finally manages to break free and says, "Oh, hey, Gordo."
"Uh, Lizzie, can we talk?" Gordo asks. Ethan begins to say 'no', but Lizzie cuts him off by
placing her hand on his chest. "Sure. Uh, Ethan, can you excuse us?"
"I guess. I'll see you later?"
"Sure." He kisses her goodbye.
When he was gone, Gordo asked, "Are you mad at me?"
Lizzie's jaw dropped. "No, of course not. It's just that I've been a little busy what with working
later hours and Jimmy."
"Right, right," he cut her off, "Sorry about not picking you up the other night, it's just Kate."
"Yeah."
Kate walks up. "Hey, Gordo. Let's go. I need someone to walk me to class."
"You should go," Lizzie said to Gordo. "She can't find her way by herself," she then muttered
under her breath.
But Kate overheard and angrily shouted, "What was that, bitch?"
Lizzie narrowed her eyes and said in a harsh tone "I said, 'You can't find your way by
yourself.'"
"You're just jealous."
"Of what?"
"Me having Gordo."
"Why would I be jealous? You can have him. I don't care!"
Gordo's jaw dropped and his eyebrows shot up. Then his features were distorted by a look of
pure anger. Lizzie gasped, realizing what she just said. Kate just grinned wickedly.
"C'mon, Kate," Gordo said angrily. He offers Kate his arm in an overly exaggerated gesture.
Kate obliges happily. Lizzie if hurt by this. "Gordo! Wait! I didn't mean it!"
If you could only see the way he loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how dark his eyes can be when he says
When he says he loves me
Lizzie watched them leave. She started crying and dashed out the door.
Well you've got your reasons
And you've got your lies
And you've got your manipulations
They cut me down to size
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
Lizzie dashed up to her front door and into the house. She ran through the house and went past
her mom's room. There were pictures still scattered on the bed. Lizzie went back and into the
room and sat on the bed.
If you could only see the way he loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how dark his eyes can be when he says
When he says he loves me
Lizzie looked through the pictures. Pictures of her and Matt at various ages and milestones,
school pictures, Polaroids. Then she came upon some photo booth pictures. The two teens were
fourteen. In the first picture the hazel eyed blonde looked uncertainly at the brown eyed boy who
had a mop of dark curls and a wide grin. The second picture showed them cheezing it up. The
third they were mock fighting, he had her in a headlock. She was grinning. Finally, the fourth
showed their reconciliation. She was across from him; arms draped on his shoulders his arms on
her waist. They were smiling happily at each other. Seeing this fourth picture made Lizzie start
bawling.
Seems the road less traveled
Shows happiness unraveled
And you've got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
That's what you gotta do
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
You're stretching out your arms to something that's just not there
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can
Lizzie took the picture to her bedroom. She sat on her bed. She couldn't believe this was
happening to her and she cried.
If you could only see the way he loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how dark his eyes can be when he says
When he says he loves me
Sayin' you love but you don't

A/N: I am so sorry it took so long to update. I hope this was worth the wait. The song is 'If You Could Only See' by Tonic. I changed the lyrics slightly. All 'he's were 'she's and all 'dark's were 'blue's. I disclaim the song, characters, etc.
