Anything, ANYTHING couldn't flicked off Lizzie's tongue and been less
surprising.
"Excuse me?," I questioned blankly as Lizzie played with her necklace. She remained silent, shifting uncomfortably.
"You heard me," She whispered. I stared at her, searching her for any lies or truths or emotions in general.
Larry," I stared her down. "Larry Tudgeman."
"That's what I said," She replied, clearing her throat.
"Of ALL the god damn people in the entire world. Larry?!," I mouthed at her wordlessly. She laughed, a short, sad laugh.
"Yes," She looked directly at me. "Me and Larry Tudgeman." Her eyes made me feel horrible.
"Oh," I said, keeping a straight face. "Well, he's; he's cool."
"He's very sweet," She smiled at me. "He IS, Miranda."
"I believe you," I said, getting up. "It's just......surprising."
"Yes, I know," She brightened. "But it IS someone." I put my arm around her.
"We missed you, Lizzie," I leaned on her shoulder.
"I missed you guys too," She said quietly.
"Let's make a promise," I said, digging through my jewelry box, "That we TRY to hang out more often?" It was now I truly missed Lizzie, my one true female friend. I pulled out a pink beaded bracelet and slipped it on her wrist before she could protest. "Keep that, and if we break that promise, break IT." She opened her mouth uncertainly.
"Your dad gave it to you," She stared at the swirling beads. "Are you sure?" I frowned slightly, hearing the word 'dad'.
"Positive." I laughed again, to lighten the mood. I had longed for so long to tell someone my deep secret, eating away at my heart.
People are funny like that. You get onto a secret, even your own, and you hold it inside until you burst. No one ever considers maybe the consequences of telling are as bad as the guilt and such that tears you in pieces. I was relieved I told someone, in a sort of serene panic. It was a bond, a bond I hadn't had with Lizzie in years. It was a bond I wanted with someone for a long, long time. It was a bond I doubted I would ever have again.
A/N: Yeah, I know, this is a SHORT chapter, so I promise the next one will be longer. The proper ending just came too early. Anyway, next chapter will be a tad more angst-y, probably at least discussing shiny blades and such. Now, shout outs to my favorite fans! This is my absolute favorite part (besides writing about snogging and suicide; yeah, I'm odd) because it means I got reviews! I am in love with reviews and e-mails. Did I tell you that? Of course.
Keeponwritin: Ah, a faithful reviewer. God, I love you guys. I feel like we have this M/G CLAN or something. Which reminds me (sorry to interrupt your thank you) another have good M/G fics to help me along and inspire me (I accept L/G too, really, and slash ones) do tell. Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH. Gordo is rocking sock-age all over the world now. I try to update often as possible, because I'm amazing, of course. Well, maybe not, I just have built up inspiration. Here's another update!
Baby-Angel aka Lala: Bwa ha ha! Since you have read this, you are aware. Thank you for reviewing. Or rather, asking me a question. Okay, it is appreciated all the same.
Love-fool: I really like you especially. You have a friendly vibe from reviewing so much. I also like your stuff, which is a BIG plus. I could comment on your stories, but this is a thank you! And you have a cool name. Amy. Means 'friend'. That means you are my FRIEND. I LOVE YOU. I also love sixpence none the richer, which has fueled me through this entire fic so far. But that's off the topic. THANK YOU.
Nahima Tala: You're another cool one. Three. Is. A. Hip. Number. I like four as well lol. INSANE. I love you too!!! NOSE KISSES!!! *more cricket chirping* Oh, yeah. Well, affection in general! Will and Grace rocks some serious monkey-age. You can always e-mail me or something. THAT APPLIES TO ALL YOU MONKEYS. I like long reviews. Reviews are fun in a box!
PinkPrincess: funky pink high top. Pink Princess. I get it. Ha. We're SISTERS. BROTHERS. AND COUSINS. Yes, well, anyway, like your pen name and thank you lots! Yes, I've noticed in every summary there is L/G L/G L/G.It's like, SHUT UP ALREADY!! We all know the main character gets the guys; it's natural. Doesn't mean it doesn't get old! Thanks again.
