The Memory of Left Behind Chapter 6
A/N: I give up, PLEASE, I AM BEGGING YOU, PLEASE REVIEW, I DON'T CARE IF YOU HATE IT, JUST REVIEW.
Lizzie laughed loudly at Tougman's joke. She couldn't believe this was the same Tougman who in Junior High had been the biggest loser ever. Everything had been turned topsy turvy. Claire and Kate who had once been best friends were no longer, but Miranda and Claire were, and Lizzie and Kate were. Kate used to hate Tougman and love Ethan, no she loved the Toug and hated Ethan. Things had really changed. But, change was just a part of life, and Lizzie needed to except that. No matter how much she hated it, she would have to. Lizzie looked up when she heard the door open, she saw Miranda walking outside. Lizzie didn't know why, but she got up and started walking over to the door.
"Liz, what are you doin'?" Caleb asked her.
"Bathroom." She said quickly. She walked quickly to the door, hoping not to miss Miranda. Just as she walked out the door and turned the corner she hit a dark headed girl.
"Lizzie?"
"Miranda? Miranda..." And then Lizzie hugged her. She hugged her because of everything, because of being separated, because of what they had gone through, and just because she really needed a hug.
As Lizzie pulled back, she looked at Miranda's face. She was smiling. Apparently Lizzie wasn't the only one who needed a hug. "Lizzie, I've missed you so much. I just, I just, oh, it feels so good to be here with you."
"I know, I've really miss...."
But Lizzie couldn't finish her sentence because Caleb had just walked out.
"Lizzie?" He said. This scared Lizzie a little, her barely ever called her Lizzie, unless something was wrong.
"Caleb, I was just about to go back inside, but I need to talk to Miranda first." She looked him in the eyes, hoping he wouldn't get mad.
"Fine. Um, I'll just wait over here."
"Sure, I'll just be a minute." She smiled at him as he walked away, then she turned back to Miranda. "Sorry about that. Anyway, well I just wanted you to know that, I'm not mad at you. I was just mad at Gordo. I never was mad at you. I mean, I know you did what you had to, for you. And that's fine, I mean that's what you should have done. But, what I'm trying to say is, no matter what happens between me and Gordo. You know, if all this is okay again, I still want to be friends with you."
Miranda turned away and looked down at her hands. "Lizzie... As much as I'd love that, if Gordo and you aren't okay, I can't. I can't do that to Gordo. I mean, for a long time Gordo was the only friend I had. And I, I just couldn't do that."
Lizzie smiled at her. "I understand. But, I really don't think you'll have to worry. Gordo and I are meeting on Sunday, it'll give us some time to talk things out. Look, I have to go. Hope I see you around."
Then Lizzie turned around and walked towards Caleb, like she had done a long time ago. She smiled at him and she smiled back.
"Hey." He said not sure of what he should say.
"Hey." She said not looking up at him.
"So, you wanna get out of here? We could just go drive around."
"Yeah, I'd like that. Plus, I need to talk to you. About Gordo..."
Caleb stared at her for a second unsure of what to say. Then he nodded his head and lead her to the car. As he opened her door she gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. Then he shut her door and walked around the car. Once he was in he sat there for a second before starting the car. After he backed out, he drove her to a small secluded road. The got out and sat in the back of his truck.
"Caleb." Lizzie said unsteadily. "I've been thinking a lot, about Gordo and Miranda. They used to be my best friends, and they were always so much fun. And I miss them. When Gordo beat you up, because he was mad at me, I knew I had to choose sides. In a way I thought that was why Gordo did it, so I would choose a side instead of being on both. And that made me mad, I mean, it was like he was trying to dictate my life. I still liked him as a friend, but I didn't like him as more than that, but he liked me. And I liked you. I guess that hurt him, and I guess that's why he did what he did. When he saw us kissing, it really freaked him out, I know it must have. And that's why he did it. With his parents breaking up, and me and you, being me and you, he really felt like his life was out of control, and he needed to take it back. That's why he knocked you out, but why he said all that stuff to me I don't know. I understand why he hit you, I don't condone it, but I understand. But I don't know why he was so mean to me, and that's why I stopped being his friend. After all this time, I'm beginning to think that he feels bad about all of it now, and that's why I'm going to try and be his friend again. If that's okay with you." Lizzie looked down at her hands hoping Caleb would say yes.
"Before I answer you, you have to tell me one thing." Caleb said after a second.
"Anything."
"Are you still my girl?"
Lizzie smiled at him and then leaned over to give him a big hug.
"Always." She whispered in his ear.
A/N: Okay, so you know in part what happened between them. I am trying to decide whether or not to tell you exactly what he said. And another thing, I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT POST, UNLESS I GET 3 REVIEWS, JUST THREE. Please, I don't care if they say how much you hate me, I just want some reviews. Thank you to all who have, I really appreciate it. Oh, and if anyone, besides Dylan Shelby can tell me where the very last few lines came from, I will e-mail you yours before I post. Okay so, thankz, sorry for the wait. My computer was being a freak.
