A/N: I am going somewhere with this! It does have a plot, which will be
revealed in this chapter and the next. I promise! So read on and enjoy. And
review. Always review. I need the cheering up, because school starts in 2
days.
Disclaimer: Nope. And I don't own the Michelle Branch song either.
No Such Thing
Chapter 16: I'd Rather Be in Love
Gordo sorted through a drawer filled with tee shirts, throwing some into a trash bag and some into a suitcase. He was packing for his internship. Well, that's what his body was doing. His mind-and his heart- were elsewhere.
I cannot help it I couldn't stop it if I tried. The same old heartbeat fills the emptiness I have inside. And I've heard that you can't fight love, so I won't complain. 'Cause why would I stop the fire that keeps me going on?
He was leaving. He wanted desperately to stay, to hear Lizzie ask him to stay, but it hadn't happened. Instead, he would be boarding a plane to London at 7:00 tomorrow morning. He would leave everything-and everyone- behind.
'Cause when there's you, I feel whole. And there's no better feeling in the world But without you I'm alone. And I'd rather be in love with you.
Gordo dropped the shirt he held in his hand and leaned against his bed. He ran his hands through his hair and let out a huge sigh. "Stupid." He thought. "You had to tell her." He wished that he hadn't. Even if he hadn't gotten the job in England, he would have had to go back to New York. "It would never have worked." He told himself. But he still felt the same.
Turn out the lights now To see is to believe. I just want you near me I just want you here with me. And I'd give up everything only for you. It's the least that I could do.
He would have given it all up for her. His dreams of directing, his school, everything. He loved her that much. But at the moment he wasn't sure she felt the same. If she had, why was she letting him go? Little did he know it was because she was scared. Scared that she loved him too much.
'Cause when there's you, I feel whole. And there's no better feeling in the world But without you I'm alone. And I'd rather be in love with you.
He stood up and returned to putting things in his suitcase. Her face ran through his mind again. Exactly as it had looked that morning. What was that expression on her face? Fear, worry. Why was she so worried?
Why are we afraid to be in love? To be loved I can't explain it. I know it's tough to be loved.
Gordo slammed a pair of shoes into the suitcase, and ran out of his room. He had to see her. He needed to see her again. He had made up his mind, and he needed to tell her.
Oh, oh And when there's you, I feel whole. And there's no better feeling in the world But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love, Yes, I'd rather be in love, Oh, I'd rather be in love with you.
