(i've decided this will be a short story.)
Still Fighting It -- Chapter Two
I decide to walk around in the woods behind the school, where I knew I wouldn't run into anyone.
Who am I kidding? It's not like anyone wants to stop and chat with boring old Gordo.
I look up at the trees, the leaves are starting to grow back from a cold winter. It's spring time now, and in a couple of months, I'll be going off to college.
I never thought what it would be like, as it has become publically known that Lizzie and I will not be going to the same college, we won't even be in the same state. What am I going to do without Lizzie McGuire?
As I'm walking, I hear a sound in the distance. Sounds like..crying.
It sounds like Lizzie. I look around, and there she is. My beautiful angel.
Crying her eyes out.
After much hesitation, I decide to walk over to her. She's all alone, so I figure I might as well go see how she is.
I walk over to her, but don't say a word. It takes her a bit to realize I'm here. Her eyes burn into mine, and then shift their gaze violently.
"What are you doing here? Come to taunt me?" she asks bitterly.
"Well, you know, I was taking a little walk between classes, and I figure I'll go find some girl to make fun of, and you seem to be the perfect target. God, Lizzie. Not everything or everyone has to be coldhearted," he says, with the same bitter tone.
Lizzie puts her hands over her face.
"Just leave me alone.."
"Look, before I do, just tell me what's wrong."
She stares at me, almost trying to see right through me.
"Kate..fight..slut..Ethan..," she mumbles, "You fill in the blanks."
"I'm guessing Ethan likes you and Kate got jealous and called you a slut?"
"Yea, that pretty much covers it," she sighs.
"Well, I guess that's what you can expect from TRUE friends, huh McGuire?"
"Gordo, I didn't ask for a damn pity party."
"That's what you want though."
"What the hell are you talking about? You don't know what the hell I want."
"Yes I do, Lizzie. I know you better then I know myself. Even after all this time."
Lizzie just shrugged, she wouldn't confirm nor deny the inevitable.
"Can I ask you just one question, Lizzie?"
She looked at him.
"Was popularity everything you hoped it would be? Was it worth throwing away the greatest friendship you'll ever find?"
"Gordo..I didn't...I.." she stuttered.
Gordo shook his head, "I'm not asking for a damn apology Lizzie. That won't change what happened."
"I don't know, I don't know what I can do Gordo."
"Neither do I Lizzie, neither do I. Look, I can't deal with this now Lizzie. I hope you have a wonderful life."
Lizzie watched as he walked away, and possibly, out of her life.
Forever.
