Okay! Here's chapter 4! Review!
***************************
"You still love her after she...?" Miranda was confused
"Honsetly, Rand. I don't mean to say anything mean about Ethan, but I don't think it was her fault.
I just want to talk to her about it."
"Wait. You think it was Ethan's fault?" Miranda said.
"I didn't say it was Ethan's fault but I don't think it was Lizzie's!" Gordo said
"Well then, who's was it?"
"I don't know," Gordo said turning around to go back into the resturant. "Hunter! Riley!"
"What?" They said in unison.
"I need to talk to you. Can we go somewhere?"
"Sure. We'll go back to my apartment." Riley said.
They all hopped in the car leaving Miranda behind. When they got to Riles's apartment they started to chat.
"How did you know about me? What did Lizzie tell you? How has she been? I she in a relationship?"
Dave started shooting off questions.
"Whoa, whoa. Listen, buddy. That is personal information which cannot be divulged at this time."
Hunter said.
"She still thinks about me doesn't she? She talks about me huh?" Dave said. He wasn't trying to be cocky. He was
curious. "How did you find me? Why did you find me? Do you know something? Is Lizzie okay?"
"She's not. actually. She loves you. She wants to be with you. But that can't happen." Riley said.
"What? Why?" Dave asked.
"She thinks you hate her. Do you hate her?" Hunter said.
"No. Absolutly not. She might hate you guys, though. You put her through so much emotional pain by presenting her
with two painful aspects of her past at once."
"And you're a director? Geez, you'd make a psycologist!" Hunter said
"My parents are shrinks."
"Oh. Anyways. What can we do? She doesn't want to talk to us, so how are we going to get her to
show up?" Hunter asked
"Shh." Riley said. She was holding the phone up to her ear. "Listen, Lizzie I know you don't want to talk to me,
but you have to understand. Hunter made me do it! It wasn't my idea! I didn't want to do it. Please.
Call me when you get this." Riley lied like a rug. But she was good at it.
"What's the big idea?" Hunter said. "You're making me out to be some bad guy!"
"Well ya! That's the point. Lizzie calls me back. Hopefully, she forgives me, we talk, hang out. Eventually,
I bring up Dave and Miranda. I convince her to forgive them, and you wokr on Miranda. Dave
doesn't need any work."
"I'd take her back in a second." Dave said. "Is she okay? I haven't talked to her in a long time.
How has she been? How's her family? Does she have a boyfriend?"
All of a sudden the phone rang. Riley shushed Dave and Hunter and went into the next room to talk to Lizzie.
Meanwhile Hunter filled Dave in on Lizzie's life as he knew it.
"She's been okay. Matt is great. He's going to school in Texas, and her parents are happy and healthy."
"Okay, but what about...?"
"She's had some prospects. She's had guys ask her out, but she never really dates. I think she--" Hunter was
inturrupted.
"Okay guys. It's all set. Her and I are going out to lunch tomorrow after class. Now Dave, it would be wise
for you to not shpw up to class for a couple days, until I can smooth things over."
"Is she mad?" Dave asked
"She's hurt. She hasn't seen you since high school. You were a big influence on her life, and still are.
I think she's always wanted something like this to happen, but when it finally did she didn't know how to handle it."
"I see. Well, I'm gonna go." Dave said. "I need some time to grip this whole thing." Dave said.
"Yea, I'm leaving, too. It'll gve you time to work out what happens with Liz." Hunter complied.
Okay. I'll call you. Bye." Riley said. Then the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hi. I need to talk to you," It was Lizzie "can I come over?"
"Yea. I'll see ya in a few." Riley hung up. "What now?" She thought to herself.
--
"He thought you be happy to see them. I did, too. But I didn't want to do it. I hope you can forgive me." Riley pleaded.
"I do. And I was happy to see him. But Miranda...I don't know if that can be fixed. Do you know if her and Ethan..."
"Are still together? Yes. They are very much in love. Hunter wanted to tell them what happened, but I didn't want to hurt her like that
in front of the entire resturant. I didn't think you would react that way. I am so sorry. I had no
intention of hurting you. And you're right about your relationship with her. That might be unfixable."
"No doubt, I would love to be friends with them again. But I don't know if they can forgive me." Lizzie said.
"But you know that what happened to you...that wasn't your fault. They need to know that."
"But who's going to tell them?" Lizzie wondered.
"Well, I think maybe Hunter could tell Gordo. I saw them hanging out the other day." A plan was formulating in her head.
"What am I supposed to do about Lindenn's class? He's going to be there!" Lizzie remembered
"I don't think he's going to show for awhile." Riley said. She went in for the kill. "If you had the chance,
would you get back together with Dave. And become friends with Miranda?"
"Gosh...I've never actually thought about it. I mean, I love David, but I don't think he would ever forgive
me. Neither would Miranda. It just seems like something too stupid to even think about, you know? Like,
why would they even care for me after what I did to them?"
"But you didn't do it to them. Ethan did it to them. Why didn't you stick up for yourself when they confronted
you? You just aren't like that." Riley said.
"I know. It's just...this was THE Ethan Craft. In everyone's eyes, Ethan could do no wrong. He was the model
person. Of course, his grades weren't that good, but he had a personality to die for. He could charm the
pants off of anyone. And that's how he got with Miranda. He fed her lies, and buttered her up." Lizzie revealed.
"Well, I have to go visit my parents. I'll call you tomorrow. Call my cell if you need anything, okay?" Riley said.
"Alright. Bye." Lizzie closed the door behind her. Then Riley pulled the tape recorder out from behind the couch.
"This is all I need." She said. She listened to the tape, jumped in her car, and headed over to Ethan's.
That's where Miranda was staying. Things were back on track.
