*And to the person who reviewed saying Prom was in a new year. Correction it was homecoming. They were freshman*** Homecoming…Prom…big big difference***
Gordo whipped the car into the parking lot of IHOP and put it in park. Lizzie almost got whiplash.
"Gordo, you know what I'm going to say before I say it." Lizzie started "Please…slow down... you remember..." Lizzie glanced back at Sinead who was asleep in her car seat. "You do remember don't you…?" Lizzie asked him...
"Yea Liz, you don't have to remind me, I'll try to drive slower…" He leaned over and kissed her, then got out of the car, unbuckled Sinead, who was sleeping in his arms, then looked back at Lizzie
"So you coming… or just going to sit in the car with that pouty look on your face" He smiled his trademark lopsided grin, shook his head, and walked in. He knew Lizzie well enough; sometimes she needed time to her thoughts.
Lizzie couldn't help it, her thoughts drifted back to that night…
Flashback, Senior Prom …
Lizzie sat by her window checking the clock nervously.
"Honey…he still has 10 minutes…" Lizzie's mom addressed her.
Lizzie sighed...then DING DONG…the doorbell, Lizzie jumped up instinctively. She could hear her parents greeting Gordo at the door.
"Hi, Mrs. McGuire, Mr. McGuire…" Gordo addressed him.
Lizzie came from around the corner and saw Gordo's face drop. Lizzie expected it. She knew him well enough. They had been dating since the night at the fair. The hadn't broken up once, even though they had fights once in a while. Lizzie had spent 3 whole afternoons with Miranda scouring the mall looking for the perfect dress for this exact moment. She wanted a dress that would make him drool. Make him realize why they were so perfect together. She had found it. Finally. It was in the back of some new store. It was light pink with white lace. A very fairytale dress, it had flowers sewn into it. It reminded her of something Cinderella would wear. Except... it was extremely low cut, down the back and the front. Her father had protested it, told her to take it back, but her mother countered the attack, told her dad "it's her SENIOR prom for goodness sake, let her live a little." Lizzie had her hair in a up-do with little tendrils falling all over her face.
"We'll leave you two alone" Lizzie's parents left, not before handing her a check for the pictures.
Gordo quickly put his arms around her waist and pulled her to him.
"You look like a princess…" He murmured as his lips came closer to hers, and she lost herself in his kiss. It was so comfortable. It was perfect. Gordo opened her door for her. Then went and got in his side. He drove quick like usual and they were there in no time... they spent the night dancing and drinking punch and just laughing with all their friends. Kate and Ethan were named prom king and queen. Not a surprise at all. Lizzie, Miranda and Charissa were named Prom Princesses. Duh Charissa, she has slept with every guy, but Gordo. Even though she did try (if you don't get this please read a new year). As for Prom Princes, Gordo, Miranda's date, Jimmy, and some other guy Kevin. After words they went to after-prom…Where at about 4 am, everyone was leaving, because the chaperons were ushering them out. Gordo got into the car and drove up to the Pointe where they spent about a hour kissing and just talking about what they wanted to do with their lives. On the way home it happened. A dog darted out in front of their car. Gordo swerved. The glass. The screeching tires. The blood. The blackness…
End Flashback
Lizzie's screams echoed in her head. She shook her head. Stop it Lizzie. It's all over. He was ok. Sometimes in the middle of the night Lizzie woke up and had to call Gordo's cell phone just to make sure he was ok. Lizzie knew the whole time he would be ok. Everyone, even the doctors, however, didn't think so… Lizzie drifted back to her thoughts...
Hildridge Hospital
All the rushed voices were confusing her. Lizzie's hands were covered in blood.
"Is he ok" …"Where's Lizzie" …"Was anyone else in the car" …"Where's David... Where's my son" Lizzie heard the loudest voice... Gordo's mother. She was screaming. Lizzie started sobbing. She sat down in the chair. She was able to get up and walk to the ambulance; Gordo had to be pulled out. They had hit the tree on his side. She had a few minor scratches which had been tended to on the way over. The whole time she couldn't stop staring at his blood body. Just then a man in white came out.
"Can I have your attention please?" The doctor took the Gordon's hands. "He has some internal bleeding, a broken leg, and some cracked ribs, and the bleeding is very severe... I'm sorry... we don't think he is going to make it"
Lizzie's mother came over and wrapped her daughter in a tight hug, Lizzie started balling, out of the corner of her eye, and Lizzie saw the Mrs. Gordon collapse to the floor, Mr. Gordon trying to catch her….
End Flashback...
Lizzie wrapped her arms around her …she had felt so much pain that night. She thought she had lost him forever. But luckily he had pulled through. She had him and Sinead now and more than likely the prospect of more children....Lizzie felt herself thinking back again…
