Chapter Six: Gordo Needs to Know
David woke up suddenly. He had had that nightmare again. The one where he was going to marry Lizzie McGuire but she runs away. Forever. But it wasn't a nightmare.
It was real.
He got out of bed slowly and went to the window. The sun was rising over the far away mountains. When it set tonight, he knew, he would be at the reunion, face-to-face with Lizzie for the first time in ten years.
He walked over to his radio. When he turned it on, a song from his teenage years met his ears:
"You told me you loved me. Then why did you leave me all alone?"
David fell on his bed. "I know how you feel Justin." He turned over on his side and stared wistfully at a photograph of Elizabeth on his bedside table. "I know exactly how you feel."
The doorbell rang suddenly. Jo went to answer it. Standing in front of her when she opened it was David. He looked at her with sad, brown eyes.
"Hi David," she said. "Is there something I can do for you?"
David looked down. He didn't want Mrs. McGuire to see him cry. He knew he was about cry. He never cried. He had only cried one other time in his life.
When Lizzie left him.
He finally spoke up. "Is Lizzie here?"
Jo frowned sympathetically. "I'm sorry David. She took off early this morning. Needed to do some soul-searching before the big reunion tonight. Are you going?"
David sighed. "Only if Lizzie goes." He stared up at Jo. "Will you tell her that for me?"
Jo nodded. She felt like screaming out to this kid, "LIZZIE SHOULD HAVE MARRIED YOU!!!" But instead she wiped away a tear. "Okay David."
He tilted his head at Jo then slowly backed out of the doorway. When Jo shut the door, he ran to his car, a thought popping into his head. He knew where he could find Lizzie.
Elizabeth entered the Digital Bean, feeling slightly uncomfortable. I mean, she was 33-years-old. People her age didn't go in the Digital Bean. Well, not anymore at least.
Music blasted through the dark room. Crowds of kids were all over the place. Elizabeth took a deep breath. Two girls and a guy, no younger than 14, sat at the counter, drinking strawberry smoothies. They looked EXACTLY like the young Lizzie, Gordo, and Miranda. Elizabeth shuddered at the thought of the three of them together again.
"Can I help you?" A waitress approached Elizabeth politely, black hair clinging to her face with sweat. She carried a tray full of ice cream.
Elizabeth smiled as best she could. "Umm, actually no. Thanks anyway." She turned to leave. Why had she gone there in the first place?
"Wait!" the waitress called after her.
Elizabeth turned. The girl ran up to her and cocked her head like she had just remembered something important.
"I recognize you," said the waitress. "You're Lizzie McGuire, aren't you?"
Elizabeth blushed. The waitress had said that loud enough. "Yea," she whispered back. "I am."
She pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket. The first thing Elizabeth thought was, 'Oh great. She wants an autograph.' But the waitress just handed her the paper and said, "A David Gordon came in here a little while ago. He said he knew you would be here and to give you this."
"Thanks," Elizabeth said, looking down at the floor.
"Don't mention it," and with that, the waitress headed for the Look-a-Likes at the counter.
Elizabeth headed out the door, head hanging low. When she was out in the California sunshine, she opened up the note reluctantly. What she read made her gasp:
LIZZIE, THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED TO KNOW: DO YOU STILL HAVE FEELINGS FOR ME? GORDO
