Chapter 5 Graduation

As soon as they entered the school Lizzie and Gordo went there separate ways. The first person Lizzie saw was Miranda. Miranda had a huge smile on her face (thinking that Lizzie was a bride to be) but it was gone when she saw Lizzie's face. She rushed over to comfort her friend.

"What the matter?!!" asked Miranda

"We broke up" Lizzie answered

"You and Gordo! Did he..........did you?"

"He broke up with me but I think it was my fault when I said no"

"No to what?!?!!"

"no........I will not marry you"

"WHY ON EARTH DID YOU SAY THAT!!"

Lizzie started to cry again "because I'm scared! His love is so real it almost too good to be true, what if we go to Hershey together and he realized that I was a mistake that he could have done better in school without me. I love him so much and he makes me so happy, but thinking that one thing could ruin it all is too much for me to handle" Miranda hugged Lizzie trying to make her feel better but only Gordo could do that.

Then their teacher told them to line up in alphabetical order. Lizzie stood in line next to people she didn't know, they were talking amongst themselves and Lizzie just stood there feeling alone. "Is this what college will be like" she thought "I've had friends forever the man I love my entire life. How will I go on with out them without him?" As the music played she felt as she was leaving something not her house or school but her childhood the life she had once lived and had learn to love. Her parents who she'd learned to talk to more, her brother, her brother who she had once fought with was now the brother who she help with homework and girlfriend problems, her friends, memories, first experiences. Her enemies, crushes, first kiss and first true kiss with the only man she would ever love. She was finished with childhood and was now an adult, and even more scared of what she would have to face in the future. When she was littler she thought adults weren't scared of anything and now she was an adult and scared. She never thought of this before because she knew Gordo would always be there to help her get thought it all. She was scared, not of facing new decisions on her own but the thought of not being with Gordo..........Gordo the guy who could fix everything couldn't face her fears for her but he could be there to hold her when it was over and tell her it was okay. But it was too for anything now. She had broken his heart. She looked for Gordo in the seat in front of her. He turned his head and saw her. He smiled slightly but then sighed and turned away. The teacher gave speeches and handed out awards she got a few. They announced the valedictorian some person she didn't know and then they received their diplomas. When they called her name she walked up to the stage with confidence not worrying about tripping unlike she had in junior high, there were more important ting to worry about. She remember how Gordo had told Miranda an her back then not to worry about what to wear or if Ethan Craft like them or if they weren't popular back then they thought he was crazy but now she thought how mature he was then because he was right it doesn't matter. She looked for her parents from the stage they were video taping her graduation and they would like to see her face when she received her diploma. She saw her mom who was crying her dad who was holding her and still video tapping Matt was just rolling his eyes. She laughed. When the whole senior class was on the stage the principle announced them

"Ladies and gentlemen I give you Hildrege High School Class of 2007!" They threw their hats in the air and everybody screamed and hugged..........well almost everybody.

Gordo smiled. He passed high school with a 4.0, but he had given up his friends, great schools (which he hadn't applied to because he knew Lizzie couldn't get into them) All his achievements, dreams, and goals didn't matter to him anymore all he wanted was to be with Lizzie, and she thought she didn't deserve him. He wanted to be mad at her but he couldn't he couldn't ever be mad at her. He looked around at all the students, he saw Lizzie trying to smile and hide her tears. It hurt him to see her cry. He wanted to hold her and explain to her what he felt, but he couldn't find the words. He left the stage and found his parents. His mother was crying. His dad shook his hand.

'We are very proud of you David" said his dad

"Thanks dad........mom" Gordo said "I'm kind of tried let's go" he wanted to get as far away as possible, away from his problems, fears. He wanted to be alone so he could think. He thought that giving up her friends, the good schools he couldn't have got to, all his plans would be worth giving up, for Lizzie. But she had said no. He thought about what he had told her -until you can just trust me and follow your heart all we can be is friends- She could change her mind. So was she worth the wait no matter how long it might take, was she worth the wait that might last forever?

When Lizzie got home it was 10:30 she went to her room and laid on her bed. Her parents came in.

"Honey" said Jo

"Yeah mom, dad?" said Lizzie

"We wanted to tell you we are very proud of you and that we are going to miss you terribly when got away to college, even Matt said he was going miss you"

"Thanks and I miss you too"

"What about me" said Matt coming into her room and jumping on her bed.

Lizzie laughed "You too"

"So has Gordo decided if he will go Hershey or not?" said Sam

"He is" said Lizzie

"Well I'm sure you guys will stay together" said Jo

"Actually we broke up"

"Oh, I'm sorry honey, well better go to bed, it's late"

"I will"

Matt and her parents left her room and she changed for bed and she turned on the radio.

"This song is for Lizzie" said the DJ. Lizzie laid in her bed and looked at the ceiling. "So here's Avril Lavigne I'm with you"

Music plays

I'm standing on the bridge/I wanting in the dark/I thought that you'd be here/by now/there nothing but the rain/ no footsteps on the ground/ I'm listening but there's no sound isn't/ anyone trying to find me/ won't somebody come take me home/It's a damn cold night/ Trying to figure out this life/ wont you/ take me by the hand/ take me some where new

Lizzie started to dry and then Matt peeked open the door and said "Don't cry Lizzie, it will be okay just wait" (some of you guys should listen to him hehe)

Lizzie listened to the last words in the chorus

I'm with you/I'm with you
