Disclaimer: I do not own anything remotely related to Lizzie McGuire.
Author's Note: Eh, we'll see what happens I suppose.
Chapter 2: Where Do We Go From Here?
Having nowhere else to go, Gordo went back to Lizzie.
"How'd it go?" She questioned as he sat down on the bed next to her.
"Not too good. But basically how I thought it would." Gordo replied obviously distraught.
"I can't believe this happened. It shouldn't have happened," Lizzie said wiping away a tear.
"I know. What's even worse is the fact that I liked it."
"I did too," Lizzie muttered.
"So, what do we do now?"
"I don't know. I know nothing now. I never expected to be in this position,"
"Neither did I. But, we are in this position and we need to do something," he answered.
"Gordo, I know we need to do something. I don't really know. I just want her to forgive me, us. I want everything to go back."
"Well, everything can't go back, Liz, but we can try to make mends with her."
"Yeah, but when will she listen?"
"It'll be a while. I think it's going to be just us."
"Even better."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Gordo asked getting defensive.
"No, it's just she'll think that we do like each other and we don't care that she's gone."
"Right. It's getting towards curfew. Do you want a ride home? I think Miranda already left."
"I wouldn't doubt it. Yeah, a ride would be nice."
Inside Gordo's slightly new black Infiniti G20, Lizzie and Gordo barely spoke. Both were lost in their thoughts.
'I've always had feelings for Gordo. I had an amazing night with him, until reality hit. I may want to be with him, but I need to have Miranda back. I know I'm not going to be able to handle life without her there.'
'Miranda and I are great together. I can really open up to her and she knows me so well. I do love her. But, with Lizzie tonight, all the feelings I had suppressed when I realized how great Miranda was and how available came back with that first touch. Tonight shouldn't have happened. I belong with Miranda, I think.'
"So, ummm what's up?" Gordo tried something.
"Nice conversation starter," Lizzie joked.
"Fine. What happened between you and Scott?"
"Haven't I told you enough? We weren't right for each other. He's already found someone more his..speed." Lizzie replied disgusted at the thought of the past two years she wasted with him.
"Yeah, I did see him and Kate tonight. Kinda weird. You know her getting your sloppy seconds."
Lizzie couldn't help but laugh at that thought. "Oh, man. Kate must really enjoy that!"
"Good. You laughed. I'd rather that you laugh instead of being so glum while this happens. I could try and be Miranda, to the best of my abilities of course."
"Thanks for the offer. I don't know though. The things that I'd want to talk to Miranda about, I couldn't and I definitely couldn't with you. No offense or anything. There are just some things I don't think will ever be disclosed to you, at least not now." 'Yeah, like the fact that I'm "hopelessly devoted" to you. God, I need to stop watching Grease.'
"I understand. But if there is anything, I'd be willing to listen." Gordo answered as he pulled into Lizzie's driveway.
"You never know I could take you up on that offer." Lizzie said as she exited his car. "Night."
"Yeah. Bye."
Lizzie went upstairs to her room and did something she knew Gordo would have told her not to do, she called Miranda's. 'She has to be home by now'
"Hello?" answered the familiar voice, now a voice filled with pain.
"Please don't hang up. Just listen."
"If you weren't my friend for the longest time..." Miranda muttered. "Shoot."
"I do like Gordo. You know that. You know things I don't even have to tell you. But, I know tonight was not what it was. It was for me, but not for him. Miranda he loves you. Please, if you never forgive me for betraying you tonight, forgive him. He doesn't know I'm calling you, but he's depressed, Miranda. Gordo and depressed aren't good together."
"Lizzie, I did know you like him. But I know more than you do. Gordo may have feelings for me, but he has feelings for you. I can't be in a relationship with him."
"I'm not saying you have to be, I'm just saying forgive him. Gordo doesn't like me like that. He needs you Miranda."
"If only you were right." Miranda melancholily replied. "Give me time, McGuire. Leave me be." She hung up the phone.
"I can't," was all Lizzie said into the dial tone before falling onto her bed sobbing. She eventually fell asleep thinking of the days of junior high..
(A/N: I'm making the party on Saturday)
The following Monday, the trio now split, all drove to school by themselves. Each had spent their Sunday's contemplating what had been laid in front of them, what they now had to deal with.
'I'm just glad we aren't in junior high anymore. I'd have to apologize to them. If I didn't, my only option of a friend would be Tudgeman. Granted, he now owns two shirts, but still, no.' Miranda thought on her drive.
'Maybe I could just say, "Gordo, I love you." Wait, no. He would never speak to me again and neither would Miranda when she found out. Why did we have to fall for the same guy?' Lizzie was on her own planet deciding what to do.
'You're a stupid idiot, Gordon! You should be exiled from all girls forever. That could very well happen with the shit you pulled. Why best friends? Why did you fall for best friends? Why did you fall for YOUR best friends? You couldn't find some girl outside your two best friends? You had to go the easy route. Well, it turns out it wasn't that easy.'
Walking towards their lockers, which were all by each other, Lizzie, Gordo, and Miranda hoped the others wouldn't be there. Alas, they were.
"Hey," Lizzie said meekly.
"Hey," replied Gordo, with silence from Miranda.
"Ready to go to class?" Gordo asked turning towards Lizzie
"Yeah, I guess," Lizzie replied looking hurt.
'Why can't you just forgive them, Miranda? They've been your best friends forever. They made one mistake. You know they both love you and each other. They didn't mean to hurt you, you set yourself up falling for a guy that was already in love with someone else.' Miranda was beginning to rethink her decision on leaving them.
"Hey Miranda!" came the voice of the tall brunette coming her way.
"Hey Sharon," Miranda sullenly said.
"Cheer up! Please? I can't have you being like this forever. Life would be so boring."
"I'm cheered. I'm up," came the ever sarcastic Miranda.
"Well, let's at least get you to class."
"You know, I think they're truly sorry. I should just forgive them."
"No. Miranda, of course they're sorry. They lost you. Who wouldn't be sorry if you left?"
'I never realized how annoying she is' Miranda decided as she entered her first hour class.
A/N: There's Chapter 2! Do you know what's going to happen? Could you fill me in if you do because I don't. I have an idea, but it isn't set in stone.
