Gordo dropped Miranda off at her house but not before she gave him a quick hug and then said a very quiet, "Good luck." Gordo and Lizzie made their way towards Gordo's house. As soon as they arrived, Gordo hopped out, and opened the door for Lizzie. She said a polite thank you, and they went inside.
"Hey Lizzie, call your parents. They might wanna know what's going on." Gordo said as he handed Lizzie the phone. He sat patiently waiting thinking about how exactly he wanted this conversation to go. He could hear Lizzie briefly mutter something about how she and he needed to talk. He just leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes waiting. Minutes later he heard footsteps, and figured it was Lizzie putting the phone back on the charger. Suddenly though, he felt a finger prod his shoulder. It was Lizzie.
"Should I put this back on the charger?" Lizzie asked. Gordo looked at her, having to stop himself from laughing. For the life of him, he couldn't understand this girl. She'd been to Gordo's house and used the phone 800 times. He didn't know why this time was different.
"Uh...yeah." Gordo said finally, gazing into Lizzie's deep eyes. He watched her as she took the phone to the charger. He watched the sway of her hips; Gordo decided that even her walk was beautiful. This was going to make things difficult if his thoughts kept getting clouded with thoughts of her beauty. He felt the couch give slightly as she sat down softly.
"So, we need to talk Gordo, and I want to go first okay?" Lizzie finally said. Gordo nodded, because he could already see the beginnings of tears in her eyes. He saw her take a deep breath and close her eyes. "When I asked you about Ethan, it was a stupid test. I wanted to see if you loved me like I loved you. When you said...when you said that I should be with Ethan, it was basically a signal to me that you didn't love me." Gordo could see Lizzie choke back the tears. He moved closer to her, and started to rub her back, but she moved away quickly. He sat astounded for a moment, and then continued listening to her. "I loved you so much Gordo, and I felt like you didn't love me. It hurt me so much do you know that?" Gordo could hear the tears flowing freely now. It pained him greatly to see Lizzie cry, but he knew that she wouldn't let him help her.
"It was if you took my heart and stomped on it!" Lizzie cried. She finally turned to face Gordo again. Gordo took this as a signal to start talking.
"That's not fair Lizzie. You can't expect me to know all about your secret tests. It's not fair, and you know it isn't. You know what I think? I think you were too afraid to admit it, and you didn't want me to admit it either. That's why you covered it up in some silly little game." Gordo glanced at Lizzie, and she was sobbing even more.
"Well, I went with Ethan, and you're right. I was scared. Okay? Are you finally happy?" Lizzie started raising her voice. Gordo knew she was angry at him. She was practically shouting now. "I went with Ethan, and I wanted to be with him, but I didn't. I wished that I could be with you. So, Ethan and I ended up having sex. I didn't want to..." Gordo looked at her. "Okay, so I did, but not with him. Gordo, you don't understand!" Lizzie threw her hands up in the air. Gordo grabbed them before they came all the way back down. He brought them towards his chest.
"Well Lizzie, it happened and you have a beautiful life for it." He kissed Lizzie's hands gently.
"No, Gordo. That's just it. I came home, because the baby died. I had no reason to hide anymore. I'm not something my parents can be ashamed of anymore. I'm the perfect girl they once knew, and now I have nothing." Lizzie began beating on Gordo's chest. "Why did my baby have to die? I wanted that baby. I may have started out hating it, but you can't have something grow inside of you without loving it Gordo." She then broke down and sobbed in Gordo's arms. Gordo smoothed her hair, and kissed her head. He wanted to make her feel better.
"Lizzie, it can happen. It has. I grew inside of my mother, and she didn't want me. When I was born, she changed her mind. My dad was still against my life. He didn't want me. My mother grew to want me. I was what made my parents get a divorce." A tear fell from Gordo's eye softly onto Lizzie's hair. Lizzie looked up at him. New batches of tears were forming in her eyes. Gordo couldn't bear to cause her more pain. He wiped the tears away before they could fall. He felt Lizzie embrace him in a tight hug. They stayed like that for what seemed like hours, till they both finally fell into a peaceful sleep, still hugging tightly.
Gordo woke up first, being startled by her presence near him. He looked down at her. He let go of her fragile frame and laid her down on the couch. He laid a blanket over her, and walked over to the chair so when she woke up she wouldn't be alone. She'd never feel alone again. Gordo was going to make sure of that.
A/N: Yes? No? I like it! Lol, of course I've said that for the last 5 chapters. *shrug* Well, I have an audition Monday, and my Birthday is Tuesday so we'll see on chapters. Anywho..review!
