A/N: I haven't addressed Miranda in a while, have I? This isn't just all about Lizzie you know.
Chapter 11: Breathe In And Explode
'I can't hold this in anymore! I need to tell someone, someone needs to know. I need guidance, I need understanding, but from who?' Miranda thought. She paced across her room and finally stopped in front of her phone and started pressing the familiar seven keys (A/N: I wish phone numbers were still 7 numbers for me, I have to do area codes now!) to her friend's house.
Lizzie was startled by the ringing of the phone, seeing as she was just about to call Scott and thank him. 'Oh, well. It'll have to wait.' "Hello?"
"Lizzie? Can we talk?" Miranda sounded desperate.
"Yeah, sure. Why don't you come by?"
"Thanks, I'll be over soon."
In less than five minutes, Miranda was pressing Lizzie's doorbell, hardly controlling herself.
"What's up?" Lizzie inquired as she let her into the family room.
"I need to get something out, it'll just be hard."
"You can tell me anything, Miranda."
"I know. But, it's not too easy. It isn't something anyone knows, it isn't very easy to admit it. I haven't really admitted it to myself yet, either." Miranda slowly started.
"Well, what does it have to do with?" Lizzie asked.
"Love," Miranda simply said.
"Ah, the ways of love. Who does Miranda love?"
"Well, it's not love, I don't think. I'm not sure. I'm just interested, a lot."
"Okay, not love, interest. Who is the interest?" Lizzie asked getting a little impatient.
"Here. Why don't I show you, rather than tell you? It's a little difficult to say."
"How can you show me?"
"Let me sign on my screen name and you'll know."
"All right. Whatever you say." Lizzie and Miranda walked up to Lizzie's room towards the computer.
Miranda opened AOL and signed under Guest, or her screen name Randa_S.
"What do you have to show me, Sanchez?"
"Just hold on." Miranda went to the corner and opened up her filing cabinet which was filled with numerous e-mails that Miranda obviously wanted to keep, but who were they from was the ultimate question. She quickly clicked on the most recent one and a lengthy message popped up. Miranda maximized the screen so Lizzie could read the whole message
"Miranda,
I really am enjoying the time I have been spending with you, online and in person. It's like old times, when things were different between us. Maybe not so different as I thought, actually. You're a really great person and any guy would be lucky to have you in their lives. I'm just a little pissed that my chance got passed up. I'm sure you realize this, I'm not too discrete about it. I wasn't trying to be. I guess I wanted you to know that I was still interested and that I do still care about you immensely. So, if you weren't getting the hint before, here it is: I still like you."
Suddenly realizing she hadn't looked at the sender's name, Lizzie glanced at the top of the screen where all her questions were answered.
"To: Randa_S From: apathy678"
Lizzie couldn't believe it. She didn't even know the two had had anything romantic going on between them. She stood staring at the screen with her mouth hanging open.
"You-you....like him?" Lizzie finally managed to utter.
"Yeah. I do. Surprised?" Lizzie just nodded still not sure of what to feel.
A/N: Who is apathy678? Find out soon.
