A/N: I know, I've been a bad author, neglecting all my little fanfics. But,
I have been so incredibly busy! Anyone who reads this that's a student can
sympathize. Anywho, it's finally April vacation, which means that I have
free time! Woo hoo! So, some of that time will be devoted to updating my
fics. Hopefully I'll get to all of them, so keep your fingers crossed! I
know what direction I want this to go in, so I decided to do this one
first. Enjoy and review!

No Such Thing
Chapter 21:
Lizzie continued to stare out the window. Tears streamed down her face, and she didn't bother to wipe them away.
The desk clerk noticed the young blonde and walked over to see what was wrong. "Are you ok, miss?" she asked.
Lizzie looked up. "Fine." She replied. "I um, I have to go." She continued. She took one last look out through the window into the nighttime sky, which mirrored her own emotions, as rain began to fall.
She turned away and walked out of the terminal, past other terminals, and made her way to the outside, where she had left her car. She saw happy people smiling and laughing as they reunited with people exiting from flights. It made her even more depressed. Finally she reached the doors to the parking lot. She felt the warm California air as well as the cool rain on her skin. In a daze, she searched for her car.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Gordo looked out into the night sky. Stars sparkled, the moon shone, and raindrops pounded down. He rubbed his forehead with his hands. He couldn't believe what he had done. He had given up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
And he wasn't even sure she would take him back.
He'd said some pretty cruel things, despite the situation. But he couldn't leave, he just couldn't bear to be without her, mad or not. He got up from the bench and headed out to the parking lot to grab a taxi home. The rain fell hard on his head, and blurred his vision, but, as he looked across the parking lot, he swore he recognized the blonde ponytail that swished back and forth in the spring rain.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Lizzie!" she heard her name being called from across the parking lot. "Lizzie!"
She turned around. She stared through the pouring rain, and couldn't believe her eyes. She saw the familiar longish curly hair, and yelled out, "Gordo!" He hadn't left! He was there!
Lizzie and Gordo both started running towards each other, like a scene out of an old fashioned movie. They met midway, and threw their arms around each other, rain soaking both of them, neither of them caring.
"You came!" he remarked, sounding astonished.
"You stayed!" She exclaimed, equally as surprised.
"I couldn't leave you." He replied. "I couldn't be so far away for so long."
"Oh Gordo!" she cried. "I.."
"Look, Lizzie, before you say anything, listen to me." He begged. "I know you're scared, I'm scared too. We're both so young, we've gone down different roads, things happened so quickly. But I also know that what I'm feeling is real, and I believe it with all my heart. We're meant to be together Lizzie. It took us this long to realize it, but we did, and we can't let go of it. I won't let us. It's scary, but what scares me even more is losing you, losing our destiny. But no matter how intense it is, we always have each other. You're my best friend and I know we can get through anything together. I love you Lizzie McGuire. I am completely and madly in love with you."
Every doubt Lizzie had felt was completely erased by Gordo's speech. She couldn't believe it: he knew exactly how she felt. Then she wondered why she'd ever doubted him at all. Gordo was the single person who knew her better than herself. They truly were soulmates.
"I love you too Gordo." She replied. It felt so good to finally tell him. "So much. All I ever wanted was to be with you."
He smiled at her.
"I see us getting married, buying a house, having kids. You're the only person I've ever thought of, even back in middle school. I don't know why I was so scared. I guess I pictured all this happening much later on. When we were older, had careers, and weren't going to college on opposite coasts. I had this Utopian vision of us. That every thing would be perfect." She hung her head.
Gordo lifted her chin, and looked in her eyes. "Lizzie, you can't idealize every situation in life. Forget perfect. There's no such thing."
Lizzie looked up at him through the rain. "You're wrong for once, Mr. Gordon." She remarked. "This is the most perfect moment of my entire life."
And, as she and Gordo leaned in to kiss one another, both soaked from the rain, but far from cold in each others arms, perfect it was.
The End!!!
I finally finished a fic! Go me! So, what'd you think? Good ending? Should I make a sequel? I'll never know until you review!
