Chapter 5: Save The Last Dance

After Gordo & I were done talking, everyone, like Miranda, Travis, C.J., Chaz A., Cory, Kate, Ethan, Gordo, & I, made our way up to your rooms. Cory came up to me again.

"Hey hunny." He put his arms around me.

"You must have taken one to the head because" I took his hands off of me. "I said I want 5 ft between us."

"Well, I know you were just joking." He said, smiling. "You just don't want lover boy over here to be jealous. But, who cares. All that matters is that we're together."

"One, 5 ft. Two," I said getting really angry. "I wouldn't want you if you were the last guy on Earth. Three, back off Gordo's case. Four, back away in 5 seconds or I'll hurt you." I smiled. He didn't move. "One, two, three, four," Still no sign of movement. "Five! Okay, have it your way." My hand made a fist, if flung back, & hit him right in the nose.

"What the heck is your problem?" He yelled me as he held is bleeding nose.

"You." I said. "And if you don't want anymore trouble, keep your distance!"

((A/N: Okay, okay. I know Lizzie would NEVER act like this, but this is MY story! LoL))

After I walked into our room, I walked over to the bed, placed the pillow over my mouth, & scream. Loudly. When I was done, Kate, Miranda, & C.J. walked in.

"Well, that will be instilled in my mind FOREVER!" Miranda said smiling. "Elizabeth Brook McGuire braking Creepy Cory's nose. Or at least making it bleed like crazy!" She laughed.

"I'm glad you found it amusing!" I said.

"Gordo certainly did!" C.J. stated.

"Yeah, yeah." I rolled my eyes.

"He practically fell over with laughter!" Kate said.

"That's enough!" I yelled. I was surprised at what I did. I'm definitely going to get into some trouble.

At lunch, the guys came to get us. That meant there was a party of 8 for lunch. Of course, Creepy Cory was not apart of our party. The 8 of us decided to go to some place on the boardwalk.

"So, Liz, how did it feel?" Ethan asked me as we walked down the beach. We were only a little while away from the boardwalk.

"What are you talking about?" I asked. Sometimes, Ethan doesn't know what he was talking about. But that wasn't the case.

"Making that Cory kid bleed. AW! It was everywhere!" Ethan laughed. I just shrugged. Gordo laughed.

"That good huh?" Travis asked.

I thought about it for a minute. "It was great!" I laughed.

"He won't come out of the bathroom." Travis laughed. "Besides, the maids are going to be FRORIOUS! He stained the white carpet red. There is ever a blood trail. You can see exactly were he walked."

"Yeah! I got it on tape!" Gordo laughed. "One of my best moments on film."

"Once again," I said. "I'm SO glad everyone enjoyed it." I rolled my eyes.

When we reached the boardwalk, Gordo looked around. "Do you smell that?" He asked. It smelled the air. "I have two words. Curly. Fries."

"Yum!" Ethan yelled. I just laughed.

"Where does everyone want to go?" Miranda asked. That was a BIG mistake.

"Where ever there are curly fries!" Gordo yelled.

"Fish place!" Ethan yelled.

"Where ever Ethan's going!" Kate spoke up.

"I want ice cream!" C.J. yelled.

"I don't care!" Chaz yelled.

"I just want to get away from these scary people!" Travis yelled. Miranda laughed.

So, Kate & Ethan went to some fish place, C.J. & Chaz went to find an ice cream parlor, Miranda & Travis went to look around & Gordo & I are sharing a bucket of curly fries on the beach.

"I LOVE curly fries!" Gordo said. I just laughed. "So, what's the deal with this Ryan guy?" He asked.

"Well, that came out of no where!" I laughed. "Why do you want to know?"

"Just wondering." He said.

"We were just talking." I said, which was the truth.

"Oh." He said. After that, there was kind of an awkward silence. That is, until Parker came up to Gordo.

"Hey Gordo." She smiled.

"Hello." He said dully.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go with me to the beach party tonight." She smiled.

"Beach party?" He asked.

"Yeah. So do you?"

"Well, um." He stuttered. He looked at me for help.

"Sorry, Parker, but he's going with me." I smiled. Her smile, however, faded.

"Oh, I didn't know you two were together." She pouted.

"Oh, yes." I nodded. So did Gordo.

"Well, I'll be going then." She walked away.

Once she was out of earshot, Gordo said, "I owe you."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Back at the hotel, it had already got around that Gordo & I were going out, which was NOT true. I wished it was, but it wasn't. I do wish that people would stop talking behind Gordo's & mine backs. Gordo just said to ignore it, which is kind of hard.

When I was in my room getting ready for the beach party, Miranda, Kate, & C.J. ambushed me.

"SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU BEEN GOING OUT WITH GORDO!"? Miranda yelled at me as I was slipping on my sandals.

"You believe that rumor?" I laughed. "It's not true. I just said that to Parker so she would live Gordo & I alone!"

"Oh." Miranda said, disappointedly.

The beach looked beautiful. Lights where everywhere. Gordo was in his own little world again.

"GORDO!" I yelled in his face. "I'm going to walk around. But promise that I have the last dance."

"Anything." He smiled.

As I was just sitting in the sand, away from everyone else, a song began to play.

You think you're going nowhere

When you're walking down the street

Acting like you just don't care

When life could be so sweet

But why you wanna be like that?

As if there's nothing new

You're not fooling no one

You're not even fooling you

So walk a little slower

And open up your eyes

Sometimes it's so hard to see

The good things passing by

There may never be a sign

No flashing neon light

Telling you to make your move

When the time is right

So

Why not (Why not)

Take a crazy chance

Why not (Why not)

Do a crazy dance

If you lose the moment

You might lose a lot

So why not? Why Not?

(Why not take a crazy chance)

(Why not take a crazy chance)

You always dress in yellow

When you wanna dress in gold

Instead of listening to your heart

You do just what your told

You keep waiting where you are

But what you'll never know

Let's just get in your car

And go, baby, go!

So

Why not (Why not)

Take a crazy chance

Why not (why not)

DO a crazy dance

If you lose the moment

You might lose a lot

So why not?

Why not?

Ohhh-

I could be the one for you

Ohhh- Yeah-

Maybe yes, maybe no

Ohhh-

It could be the thing to do

What I'm saying is you gotta let me know

You'll never get to heaven

Or even to L.A.

If you don't believe there's a way-

Why not (Why not)

Take a star from the sky

Why not (Why not)

Spread your wings & fly

It might take lot

But why not?

Why not?

Why not (Take a crazy chance)

Take a crazy chance

Why not (DO a crazy dance)

Do a crazy dance

If you lose the moment

You might lose a lot

So why not?

Why not?
It occurred to me, after that song was over, that I could REALLY relate. I had to 'take a crazy chance' & Gordo how I really feel, because if I don't soon, it might just be too late.

I got up & began looking for him. By the time I saw him, the D.J. came on & announced that this was the last dance. It just so happened to be a slow on.

"Lizzie!" He came walking up to me.

"You promised." I smiled.

"How could I forget?" He smiled at me as he held out his hand. We slowly began to dance. Not noticing it, all eyes were on us. We so absorbed in each other's eyes that we could not tell.

Gordo slowly leaned in. Our lips were just about to touch, when the song ended. We were brought back to our senses. "Sorry." Gordo whispered. I just smiled.
