Gordo slept on the couch in Lizzie's hospital room that night. He woke
often, to check on Lizzie and see how she was or just to watch her sleep.
At 10:00a.m., the nurse came in to check Lizzie's vitals and said that
Lizzie would be moved to recovery today. Gordo felt happiness flood him. He
woke Lizzie and told her. But instead of smiling, she frowned.
"What? What is it?" asked Gordo.
"I only have to spend a week in recovery. Then where? I can't go home, Gordo. I just can't." replied Lizzie. Gordo understood and nodded.
"I'll call Matt and you can stay---"
"NO! I mean, no Gordo. He would just be ashamed of me and tell my parents and---just no. No one in the family."
"Miranda?"
"No. I'm too embarrassed to see her right now."
"Lizzie, not much left except Motel 6."
"Your.uhm.your apartment??"
"Lizzie? Are you crazy? I have a one-bedroom studio in the Art District. Not exactly fitting recuperating room."
"Oh, yeah, and there's Dawn."
Gordo grimaced. He wished she hadn't said his girlfriend's name. He has managed to erase her from his mind for the last night but now that Lizzie brought her up, he couldn't help it.
"Lizzie, please don't talk about her-"
"Gordo, she's your GIRLFRIEND. It's normal to talk about her."
"Lizzie, just stop!"
Lizzie was taken aback. Gordo shrugged and huffed. He had snapped at the one person he truly loved.
"I'm going to.to check on the kids." He said walking out of the room. Lizzie lay in the bed afterwards, thinking about things. She was so caught up in her thoughts, that she didn't realize when she started talking aloud. Gordo was about to come back in the room when he heard her.
"Okay, so he doesn't love you? No biggie. Oh my God! What are you saying?? You are head over heels in love with him. You kick yourself everyday for turning him down at the wedding!! Tell him you love him!! Wait, no! You can't because he just snapped at you and that would be weird and strange and---but I really, truly love him! What am I supposed to do? Just forget about him? And Dawn? What about her? My mind is being logical but my heart only wants me to leap on him when he walks back in the room. But no! I can't. I have to be the Lizzie Alex--- Lizzie McGuire that he's always known- the Lizzie that everyone knows. But oh I wish I could be Lizzie Gordon."
Gordo caught his breath at that. 'She loves me?' he thought. 'Wow.'
