Thanks for the supportive reviews everyone, I love you all! Now, the people who had questions and stuff, I emailed you, but I'd just like to say, I know that not eating for one day won't have the reaction it did on Lizzie, but add in the fact that she was running and stuff, and there you go.
I kinda like where this story is going, and I'm glad everyone loves this story so far! Remember- Reviews are my breath of life and I can't write if I'm dead!

When Lizzie woke up again, she was in a white room, lying beneath crisp white sheets. Needles were stuck in her arm...Where was she? Where ever it was, it was cold. She shivered under the sheets, and curled into a ball.
There was a scream and a blonde figure came flying into the room. The person wrapped her arms around Lizzie and she shrieked, "Lizzie, my baby! I can't believe you were doing this to yourself! Lizzie, you're beautiful, you don't need to starve yourself to be pretty!"
"Mom, please. I can't breath!" Lizzie gasped. She was mad. She knew Gordo would tell her mother, and she knew this reaction would happen. She didn't need anyone to worry about her.
Jo let go in a heartbeat. "Lizzie, you scared us all! They had to put you on a feeding tube! Oh, I was so worried..." Jo was stopped mid-rant by a knock at the door. She went over and answered it; there was Gordo. She stood to the side and let him in.
"As worried as I am about you Lizzie, I'll let you two talk. Sam and Matt will be in later." Jo said, leaving.
As soon as Jo was gone, Lizzie turned her back to Gordo and said, "Go away."
Gordo's eyes all but spelled out hurt. "Lizzie, just let me-"
Lizzie refused to let him finish. "Gordo, you betrayed my trust, I don't want to see you."
"Well I thought you might like to know that Miranda left for Mexico this morning."
"Good for her, now take a hike." Lizzie snapped.
Gordo walked around to the other side of the bed so he could see Lizzie's face. She promptly flipped over, but Gordo said, "Lizzie, I was worried. We've been best friends forever, I couldn't watch you get hurt like this." Lizzie opened her mouth to say something, but Gordo plowed right on. "Now Lizzie, listen to me. I don't want you to be mad at me, please don't be, but I had to tell her for your own good. Lizzie, if I hadn't and you'd gone hurting your self, you might be dead. Listen to what I'm saying, D-E-A-D, dead. You know, as in never coming back?"
"I know what it means." Lizzie whispered. Tears filled her eyes. "I just wanted Ethan to notice me! He was so wrapped up in Melia..." She burst into tears and Gordo kneeled on the side of her bed and pulled her up into a hug.
"Lizzie, I've said it before, I'll say it again." Gordo said softly. "You're already beautiful. If Ethan doesn't like you because of you, and not your looks, then he's not worthy of you."
"Yeah, well, no one could ever like me anyway." Lizzie muttered though her tears.
Gordo let go of Lizzie and tipped her chin up so she could look into his eyes. She could get lost in those eyes...
"Lizzie, I can guarantee you, some one likes you. Someone out there is in love with you. Now come on, smile. Never frown, you never know when someone if falling in love with your smile."
The corner of her mouth lifted a fraction of an inch.
"There you go, that's a start. A bit more now...come on!" Lizzie couldn't help but grin at his antics. She sat up a little against her pillows.
"Thanks Gordo. You always know when to cheer me up."
"Lizzie, I just want to ask you something. When you were asleep on the couch at your house, do you remember saying anything?"
Lizzie was thoughtful for a moment. "Well, we were arguing and then-" she broke off and looked away from Gordo so he couldn't see her blush. "Nope, nothing after that."
Gordo looked at the floor. He knew had been getting his hopes up after what she had said. She had no idea of what she said.
Or did she?
Gordo was so confused. He saw her look away, but still, maybe she couldn't remember.
Lizzie yawned and snuggled into the pillows. Gordo looked up, noticed and said, "You need to get some sleep. I'll leave you to rest." Gordo turned to leave, but was stopped.
"Gordo, come here for a sec." He turned around and walked back to Lizzie's side of the bed. "Bend down. Lower, lower." He bent over until his face was right next to Lizzie's, and-
She kissed him on the forehead.
Gordo stood up straight, stunned. He looked to Lizzie for an explanation, but she was fast asleep, a smile on her face.
Lizzie wasn't really asleep, but Gordo didn't know that. There were no footsteps, so she knew he was
still there. It had worked. She smiled to herself, and drifted off to sleep, for real this time.
Kinda sweet, very fluffy. Hope you like! Please review!
In the next chapter, we will have a return of Lauren, we'll meet Caitlin and Lizzie talks to a shrink! How fun...
