A/N Was in clear in the last Chapter that Matt knew that Lizzie did NOT marry Ethan? I hope so. Anyway, we're going to see how Arwen's and Isabelle's Saturday went.
Also, I know I made this disclaimer for the LM characters at the beginning of the story. Well, I ALSO don't own "I Will Be There For You" by Jessica Andrews.

Subj: Okay, you ARE sure about that name, aren't ya?
Isabelle,
Okay, so remember how I said I would go through some more of Mr. Gordon's stuff? Well, I did, and you'll never guess what I found. A letter. Yes, I am as bad as you. Here's what it says:
"Dear Gordo,
For years I have longed to hear your voice, to see your face. I have spent hours watching the phone, inwardly begging for it to ring. And yet the silence that meets my ears is undeniable. So it should come as no real surprise that I must tell you, I can wait no longer.
Wow. This is much harder than I'd previously guessed.
I'm engaged, Gordo. To Ethan. If I told you that he's eaten some fruit that has caused his brain to absorb intelligence then I'd be lying. But he's sweet, and he listens, and most of all, he's here. And he loves me. As much as he can, he LOVES me.
I'm sure you've noticed that I haven't mentioned my feelings for him.
I wish I could say that I love him. I wish I could glance at him and feel something besides friendship. I wish that fierce feeling of true love was towards him, and not a curly haired, blue eyed guy that I cannot have.
I thought once that we could make it. Despite everything we'd been through, that we live on difference sides of the US, despite everything, once college was through we would find our way back to each other. Funny how life gets in the way.
I'm going to marry him. Ignoring the insistent crying of my heart, I am going to walk down the isle, and take his hand, and promise to respect, honor, and obey him, and love him with all my heart. Because I gave up on us a long time ago.
Although, I was listening to the radio today, and I wanted you to read these lyrics.
When I lost faith, you believed in me.
When I stumbled, you were right there.
For every act of love you've done,
I owe you one.
There were hard times, I know I survived.
Just because you stayed by my side.
With all I have, with all I am,
I promise you, all my life,
Whenever the road is too long,
Whenever the wind is too strong,
Wherever this journey may lead to,
I will be there for you.
Oh, I will be there for you.
Through sorrow on the darkest night
When there's heartache deep down inside,
Just like prayer, you will be there.
And I promise you all my life,
Whenever the road is too long,
Whenever the wind is too strong.
Wherever this journey may lead to,
I will be there for you.
Oh, I will be there.
Whenever the road is too long,
Whenever the wind is too strong
Wherever this journey may lead to,
I will be there for you.
Oh yes, I will be there for you.
I'll always be there…
Any time you want to know the inside of my heart, read those to yourself and feel secure in my love for you.
I hope you are happy in "wherever this journey may lead to."
I love you,
Lizzie"
Okay, so what do you think? I mean, aren't there just TOO many coincidences in these letters? I mean, two Lizzies, two Ethans… How many guys are there REALLY that are named "Ethan." The name is not THAT popular. And how many Elizabeths are there that shorten their name to "Lizzie?" But if it's possible that she is the one and the same girl that he's after, then wouldn't their family know that they're living in the same city and TELL them? It seems to me that this whole thing is too weird.
PLEASE e-mail me back ASAP! I could really use your opinion.
Impatiently,
Arwen

Subj: What's in a name anyway?
Okay, I am sure about the name. Absolutely and completely positive. So now, my friend, we have a rather confusing situation before us. I don't GET all this mess! I mean, every time I think I have a solution, a problem unfolds.
Like, maybe the two Lizzies are one and the same. And maybe Ethan is Ethan CRAFT. But if so, WHERE is he? And maybe she didn't marry him after all, but then, why would Mr. G call her Lizzie Craft? (For that matter, she calls him 'Gordo' in her letter. Isn't his name David? Maybe a nickname off of Gordon…..?) I mean, if I was in love with someone, I would pay close attention to whether or not they married someone else.
And then, of course, what are the odds that they'd both end up here in NYC? Like you said, wouldn't their families have clued them in?
This is too confusing for me. I'm going to bed.
Although… you said Mr. G went out of town because of his dad? Ironically, my mom said that Lizzie was unable to attend the meetings because of family trouble.
Couldn't be, could it? Nah. I vote we leave it alone. We don't know what we're getting ourselves into.
TTYL,
Isabelle
