Chapter 21- Flashbacks continued……
They all sat down and Gordo started to tell them about the time she got her first kiss.
=====Flashback (First kiss)=====
Miranda: She's possessed! She's wearing his dirty shoelaces!
Gordo: What do you think it is about him? Think he's a jock? I'll bet he's a jock.
Miranda: Now you're gonna talk about him incessantly too?
Gordo: No, it's just so strange, I mean, other than my parents, Lizzie's the only person I've known my entire life. I guess I just never really thought what it'd be like when she had a boyfriend.
Miranda: Wait a minute; are you jealous?
Gordo: Jealous? Oh no, no, no, no, no, no! Wrong road, I was trying to identify another emotion. Not jealousy.
Miranda (quietly): Right.
Gordo (after Miranda leaves): I think.
======End flashback======
Miranda steps in the waiting room right when he finish's the flashback.
Miranda: Guys!
They all look over and said, "Miranda!"
Gordo ran and hugged her.
Miranda: I came as soon as my dad gave me the message.
Gordo (Cries and shouts): I WANT to see her!
Miranda gives him a hug and cried, "I know I want to see her too!"
Then strangely enough a nurse came out and said softly, "Mr. Gordon you may see her now."
He got up and walked in her room.
He shut the door quietly, looked over to his future wife and saw that the monitor was going slowly. Tears filled his eyes. He walked over to her and said slowly and sadly, "Lizzie I don't know if you can hear me, but when I was out there waiting I thought up this poem."
Why?
Why do we even have to say goodbye?
Why?
Remember when we looked up in the sky?
We said we'd never say goodbye.
But now we're saying goodbye.
Why do we even have to say goodbye?
Why?
We're so in love,
To let each other go.
Why do we even have to say goodbye?
I'll cry if you die,
So will your family.
So why do we even have to say goodbye?
Why?
He picked up her hand and held it, "Lizzie, will we ever get the chance to dance on our special day? Or will get the chance to kiss beneath the stars? Will you get the chance to awaken…"
A cough stopped his words. "L-Lizzie was that y-you?"
(Silence)
Then he heard a cough again. "Lizzie was that you?"
Lizzie (Hoarse voice): G-G-Gor-rr-do.
Gordo just stood there crying.
Lizzie (Hoarse voice): W-why… I… here?
Gordo (Crying): Kind of a long story. Just don't speak, rest your voice and I'll be right here by your side.
Here we are safe at last
We can breath aside
It seems the song as past
Through it all no one knew
That all the tears in heaven
Would bring me back to you
Love what I know imagined we would make it!
But it only matters that we both believe!
You and me, we're a miracle
Meant to be and nothing can change it.
Mountains move and oceans part when they are standing in our way!
You and me, we're a miracle
Angels stand watching over us.
And heaven shine upon us everyday!
Every time I felt near defeat!
You were there for me
On my side completely
You give me strength
You send me free!
Just as because of you
I'm more then I can be!
When I'm with you the world belongs to
Together there is nothing we can do!
The chance that someday likely
That we will ever meet
Two stars among the heavens
Destiny brought you to me!
He quietly left the room and walked out to the waiting room with tears in his eyes.
They all jumped up, "Is she doing fine?"
Gordo (Crying): Well, she… she…
All: What?
Gordo (Cries happily): She spoke!
All of them just sat there.
Gordo: But we have to still pray she'll make it all the way through.
They all shook their head and got up and went to her room.
Matt walked up to Lizzie.
Matt: Lizzie, I believe that you will make it through! Because you're a strong sister that I love! Yeah, I admit that we fought a lot when we were younger, but that doesn't mean we hated, we really loved each other. That's what brother and sister's do. Just bug and pick on each other. So you'll make it, because I believe in you, sister!
Lizzie heard him and tried to say, "M-Matt, you're… a good… brother too… and I… love you!"
Matt just gave her hug and started to get a flashback about when they were fighting.
=====Flashbacks=====
(Those freaky McGuire's)
Lizzie: What'd you do to all of my clothes?
Matt: Well, nothing!
Lizzie (Points to her shirt): Well, what's this?
Matt: Proof you're a slop, I guess?
Lizzie: Just stop reining my life!
Matt: Stop reining mine!
Lizzie: What are you talking about?
Matt: You never give me my phone messages and you hog the bathroom.
Brother my brother
Tell me, what are we fighting for?
We've got to end this war
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began?
We can try, brother my brother
(Sibling bonds)
Matt: Take the rope!
Lizzie: I don't want the rope!
Matt: Take the rope!
Lizzie: No!
Matt: Take the rope!
Lizzie: I don't want the rope! Now get lost!
We face each other from different sides
The anger burns, can't remember why
It's kind of crazy to cause such pain
Our foolish pride makes us hate this way
We watch our world fall apart
Tell me, what good is winning when you lose your heart?
Brother my brother
Tell me, what are we fighting for?
Isn't life worth so much more?
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began?
Tell me why, brother my brother
We can try, brother my brother
They all got in a group and hugged!
The end of chapter 21!
Author's note- How could I make my favorite, favorite star die? I'll tell you, NEVER! I couldn't do that if I was paid a million dollars! Also I wouldn't do that to anyone! That's just wrong! I just hate video games with killing in them! Like GTA, my brother has that game and I just think that game is SO dumb! Anyway, did this chapter go with the flow and did you like it??? What'd you think of Gordo's poem? Chapter 22 coming soon!
