Hospital Room, 403
Lizzie sat in the arm chair beside the hospital bed; she couldn't believe this was happening. Thing like this never happen to girls like me. Lizzie buried her face in her hands.
"Lizzie honey..." Mrs. Gordon addressed her, her eyes were rimmed with red and she had circles under them. "Go home honey…I'll stay here, you need your sleep"
Lizzie shook her head, "No... I wanna stay" She wouldn't admit that she was tired beyond belief, but he needed her, and she wanted to be here when he woke up. If he woke up.
Mrs. Gordon slowly got up. "I am going to go get some coffee and call your parents and Miranda, will you be okay here?"
Lizzie nodded slowly…as she watched Mrs. Gordon's back leaving the room. She scooted her chair right up next to Gordo's bed and took his hand.
"Please... be ok... please ...I love you so much" Lizzie felt a tear roll down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away with the back of her other hand. She stared at his leg... in its cast... and the IVS protruding out of his arms. The cuts all over his face. He was still gorgeous in her eyes. She leaned forward and kissed him lightly on the lips. Gordo moved a little in his sleep and murmured.
"Oh…sit still…" Lizzie smiled down at Gordo who slowly opened his eyes.
"Hi baby…" he addressed her. Lizzie started to cry. "What's wrong? Don't cry." He told her and squeezed her hand a little. Gordo started to close his eyes…
"No... Gordo wait please don't go back to sleep. There is something I need to tell you" Lizzie looked into his blue eyes; she knew she shouldn't tell him but for some reason she felt if he knew he would try harder...to…stay alive. "The Doctors don't think you're going to make it, but I told them you would. I can't go on without you... I just can't" Lizzie starting crying and put her head on the bed, she shouldn't let Gordo see her like this.
"Lizzie, listen to me, I'll be ok, look at me, and believe me. I will make it through. And when I do, will you promise to do something for me?" He asked her with pleading eyes.
"Yes anything..." Lizzie squeezed his hand to tell him she meant it.
Gordo tried to smile, but his face was so scratched up she saw him wince. "You know how you have been upset with me because I worked all summer and now I'm working all the time…" Gordo half smiled. "Look in the pocket of my jacket." Lizzie got up and walked over to the tux jacket that was beyond repair. She pulled out a little black box and gasped. She slowly made it back to the chair and sat down clutching the little black box.
"Lizzie, I love you with all my heart. I know I will make it through this and when I do you have to promise to be there for me." Lizzie nodded, silent tears slipped down her cheeks.
"Open the box" He instructed her. Lizzie slowly opened the little black box and gasped, once again. "Marry me, Lizzie?" Gordo asked. This time he managed a smile without flinching.
Lizzie felt a smile creep on her face, for the first time in what felt like forever. "Of course, I will!" She exclaimed, jumping up and kissing him.
What about college? Graduation? The sensible part of her brain asked. "Gordo, what about college and you dream of becoming a director?" Lizzie asked him cautiously.
"That can wait, right now my dream is to marry you" Gordo said quietly as he slipped the ring slowly onto Lizzie's hand. Lizzie kissed him again. She knew what her parents would say. That she was being herself, acting irrationally. Lizzie didn't care, all she was thinking was that she knew Gordo would make it.
About an hour later, Lizzie's parents, followed by the Gordon's, and Doctor Jamison.
"Some good news Lizzie." The doctor tapped her gently on the shoulder, waking her up. "Looks like the chances of David pulling through have gone up. We have controlled the bleeding and it looks like he will be fine. He just needs lots of rest."
Lizzie's head was still resting on Gordo's shoulder, where she had fallen asleep. Lizzie was still sleepy when she looked over and saw Gordo was asleep, but when she looked back at the Doctor she could have sword she heard Gordo mutter, "Told you so" ….
End Flashback
Lizzie opened the door, smiling, and walked into IHOP, her eyes roamed around till they fell on the back of Matt's spiky head. As Lizzie made her way over to the table she saw Gordo's shocked expression. Then noticed who was sitting across from him, casting him devious looks. She hadn't changed much, the same long white blonde hair, down to the middle of her back, the same piercing blue eyes, perfect body and sickening smirk
"Lizzie! Hey! How have you been?" Melina jumped up and hugged her. "I wanted you to meet someone, Lizzie this is Charissa, Charissa, this is My Fiancée's sister, Lizzie, you might not know it, but you all went to the same high school together!" Lizzie glanced a look at Miranda, whose mouth was hanging open like a fish.
Charissa slowly stood up and sauntered towards Lizzie, not taking her eyes off Gordo. "Lizzie!" she said in the familiar sickingly sweet voice "Long time no see" She hugged her and Lizzie could swear she felt her fake nails digging into her back. Lizzie winced.
"Oh sorry, sometimes I forget about those silly things" Charissa started. Looking at Gordo and giggling.
"Um…how do you and Melina know each other? " Miranda asked as Lizzie sat in the seat next to Gordo and slipped off her coat. Sinead was sitting on Ethan's lap, along with Evan, and Ethan was obviously oblivious to what was going on. So was Matt, he was just grinning like an idiot with his arm slung casually around Melina's chair.
"Oh well you know how I want to go into advertising right, like you Gordo." Melina started. "Well, I was interning for Charissa and she mentioned she grew up in Hildridge, too, also she got transferred to the same advertising company you work for Gordo! So I needed to see Matt for Christmas and she needed to move here and find an apartment and all. So! Here we are! A happy reunion" Melina smiled as Matt kissed her cheek. Sometimes Melina was just too cheerful for her own good.
"Yea, Gordo you should be happy to hear, we will be working together now, just like old times." Charissa smiled at him and batted her eye lashes. Gordo scooted closer to Lizzie as Charissa continued.
"Yea, starting next week we will be advertising partners. I am going with you to Seattle to work on the Reebok account" Charissa smiled.
Lizzie knew what that meant. It wasn't Gordo she didn't trust, it was Charissa…
