A/N: Well, here's Chapter 7. Thanks for the reviews. I'm now contemplating no twist. I guess, we'll just have to wait and see.
Chapter 7: The Exchange
Lizzie ate her dinner and went upstairs to get dressed before Gordo arrived. She opened her door and saw something on her bed. Lizzie walked over to it and picked it up in disbelief. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice.
"Hi, McGuire." he said. Lizzie turned and was face to face with Gordo, who looked amazing in his suit.
"Hi? How did you...when did you..?"
"I've been here a while. I see you've found your surprise. Have you finished with mine?" Gordo asked pointing to the yearbook in Lizzie's hand.
"Actually, I have." Lizzie went over to her bag and pulled out Gordo's yearbook. "Here. Gordo, I know this is going to sound strange, but I've been dying to read this...."
"How about I go into the hall with this (holding up his yearbook) and I leave you in here with yours?"
"Works for me." Gordo exited the room and sat down in the hall, opening his yearbook.
Lizzie found what he wrote to her again and began to read:
Dear Lizzie,
You rock don't ever change. And only I really mean it. I'm so glad that this week is ending the way it is. Honestly, I still can't believe that you've said the things you've said to me either. I never expected to hear it. You are my best friend, and maybe someday soon, more. I really don't know what I would do without you in my life. You have helped me in so many ways to mold me into what I am today. You've been a great friend to me when no one else wanted to be. You mean so much to me and I never want you to leave me. Even if we end up not together romantically, I will always love you as a person and I always want you to be my best friend. Whenever you need me, I will be there as fast as I can, no matter where I am. You are the most important person in my life. Thank you for being my friend.
Love, Gordo
Lizzie finished the letter and wiped a tear not caring that she was running her eye makeup.
While this was occurring, Gordo was reading his letter:
Gordo,
I don't really know how to start this, so I'm just going to write. You've been in my life for as long as I can remember. You've always been there when I was being stupid and obsessing over Ethan, Ronnie, or any other random guy. But you aren't another random guy, Gordo. I can't believe how stupid I was for so long, not realizing what a great guy you are and how lucky I am to have you. I've thought about this a lot and I know that no matter where we end up with this relationship, I always want to be in your life, I always want you there. You're not just my best friend, Gordo, you're my soul mate-I may not mean that in the romantic sense yet, but in the spiritual sense you are.
Love, Lizzie
He was speechless. This wasn't a regular occurrence as of recently with the way Lizzie had been surprising him. He decided to go into Lizzie's room and see if she was finished. He softly knocked and Lizzie opened the door.
"Lizzie, were you crying?" He asked.
"Yeah, I guess. It's just that what you wrote was so amazing. It kinda took me back."
"Well, you amazed me too with what you wrote. Lizzie, I just have one more thing."
"Gordo, honestly, I think this is enough."
"No. Just let me do this."
"Ok." Gordo took Lizzie's hands in his and looked into her eyes.
"Elizabeth McGuire, will you be my girlfriend?"
'How come when he says Elizabeth it sounds like poetry?' Lizzie thought.
As she was about to respond, she thought of something better.
A/N: Here you are. Hope you like. 'Nother cliffhanger! But you know me, I update like once a day.
