Note: Once again, I do not own the characters of Lizzie McGuire, although, I wouldn't mind owning Matt. Ok, hope you like this chapter. Read on, readers.

Chapter 4: True feelings are released.

Matt

Matt sat on his bed in an upright position, to make sure he didn't apply any pressure to his head. He thought that I he did, he would pass out. He was afraid of Lizzie coming in the room to ask about it. He didn't feel like talking about it. All he knew was that it hurt. Badly. He wasn't sure if his arm was broken or not. He had never broken a bone before, but he figured it wasn't that hurt because the bone wasn't sticking out of his skin. He sat for what seemed like a lifetime of pain. And to think. he thought, I'll have to go through this every weekday for the rest of the year. He put ice against his head. He didn't realize how hard Walter slammed his head into the locker. He was too scared for his life. "Ouch." He said aloud. The ice stung his head. There must have been a cut in the back of his head. He placed his hand on the back of his head. Blood. Not a lot of it, but enough for him to feel light-headed. He leaned against his head board on his bed. Not long before he passed out now.

Lizzie

"Gordo!" She shouted again. "What the hell is your problem?"

"What do you mean?" he asked, stupidly.

"What do I mean? WHAT DO I MEAN?!" she asked, angrily. "What do you think? My little brother just walked into the house, face scrunched up in pain, and you act like it's no big deal!"

"Lizzie," he said sitting up and putting the popcorn down on the coffee table. "I had to go through this, too, you know. I WAS a freshman once, remember? They used to stuff me in lockers and put gum in my hair, basically humiliate me in front of the school any moment they could. I remember, once, I had to go to the hospital for a wedgie." he stated, beginning to laugh. "Your brother is a smart kid, and he's big too. He'll figure something out. He'll get through it. I know I wish I had done something." Gordo's eyes began to tear, thinking about the time when one of the seniors broke 3 of his ribs and busted one of his knees.

"Gordo, I'm sorry." Lizzie began, " I didn't know any of that happened to you. I guess I was just scared for Matt, I mean, he IS my little brother and." Gordo silenced Lizzie with a kiss. A light, gentle one. He broke the kiss shortly after. "Sorry," he said. "I don't know what came over me." Lizzie leaned toward him and kissed him with a deep, passionate kiss. He thought he had died. For once, she wasn't talking about how she wanted to kiss Ethan Craft, or how she wanted to get him to like her. Instead, she was kissing GORDO, and no one else could get in the way.

Miranda watched as her two best friends kissed each other deeply, and she couldn't help but wonder if that would ever happen to her. She admitted to herself she liked Matt last week, but she didn't tell anyone. She knew Lizzie and Gordo knew, though. They were acting so weird around her. She ran upstairs to the bathroom and let herself cry. The tears just fell, and she couldn't stop them.
