Chapter 9

Lizzie woke up the next day to sunshine. It was filling her room with light. Lizzie could remember, back when she was a baby and the light would do this early in the morning, and then Jo would walk in and say "Is my baby ready for the day?". Lizzie was thinking about this and smiled to herself. She just remembered that that was the day of the reunion. And that Miranda was dieing. And that she was still confused about TAA.

Lizzie heard a knock on the door. "Come in!" she called.

Sam walked in. "Hey Lizzie."

"Hey dad."

"Are you ready for today?"

"No, but I guess I have to be."

"Are you okay, you know with the whole Miranda thing?"

Lizzie shook her no, the whole time staying calm, "Dad, did you know about this?"

Sam looked guiltily out Lizzie's window. He stayed silent for a while, "Yes." He finally said. "Miranda told your mom and Matt and I before she left for L.A. Well, we didn't actually KNOW. We knew something was wrong, but Miranda wouldn't tell us. She wanted to tell you first."

"She can't be dieing."

"But she is Lizzie. You have to accept that, and be strong for her. Miranda needs you now. Even if she says she doesn't."

"What if she pushes me away?"

"Then you'll have to respect her and still be there for her. But I don't think she'll do that."

"How come?"

"Because that's not the kind of person she is. Now, hurry up and get ready."

"Ready for what?"

"For breakfast with the Gordon's and Sanchez's."

"Oh, right that."

~*~At Breakfast~*~

Lizzie, Gordo and Miranda were all sitting at one table while everyone else was at another. Miranda had told Gordo she had Leukemia last night. They all had a lot to talk about.

"So, how long did the doctors say you have left?" asked Gordo sullenly.

"Less than a month, a couple weeks. Could we not talk about this?"

"Yeah, sure." Said Lizzie and Gordo.

Miranda looked at the two of them. They made such a good couple. "So," she said, "Did you two settle your differences?"

"What do you mean?" asked Lizzie.

"Like, are you two back together?"

"No." Lizzie started to say something, but Gordo cut her off.

"Lizzie, do you want to be my date to the reunion?"

Lizzie was in shock. Just yesterday they were fighting about this same subject and now Gordo was asking her out. Lizzie looked at Miranda from the corner of her eye. She had a happy smile on her face. How could Lizzie say no. Miranda was already getting weak. You could tell. Lizzie didn't want to see disappointment on that weak face. "Yes."

"Finally. So, you two are sort of back together?" asked Miranda happily.

"I.I.yeah." Said Gordo.

Lizzie looked at Gordo as Miranda said "Number one off my list."

"List? What list?" asked Lizzie.

"I wrote down a list of the things I want to do before I die. Or see. And the very first thing was see you two back together."

"What else do you have on it?" asked Gordo.

"I can't tell you. But when I die, you can see it and find out if I accomplished everything."

Lizzie was sitting there sad that she only had a couple weeks left with Miranda, and Gordo. As she thought that she felt a hand on hers. She looked over at Gordo and smiled then looked at their hands. She loved him and he loved her. Why did they ever let each other go?
