*later that night*
"Come on, Gordo. Answer your phone." Lizzie sighed as she twirled the phone cord around her finger
"Hello?" His voice answered
"Gordo? It's Lizzie." She replied
"Hey Lizzie. Is something wrong?" Gordo asked
"No. I- I just need to talk to you." She said as she plopped down onto her bed
"About?..." He asked, signaling her to continue
"Us."
"Oh. Well- uhm- go on, then." He said, as he nervously sat down at his desk
"Gordo- what happened to us? I KNOW you have notice how things changed between us and- I have too."
"Lizzie, I don't know what to tell you." He said as he rubbed his eyes
"Just don't lie to me, ok? Tell what you feel- tell me what you want."
There was silence. Neither of them wanting to tell the truth to one another. But both wanting the same thing... for the same reason.
"Gordo, please." She begged, almost on the verge of tears
"Lizzie, what I feel right now- it's hard to explain." He began, "I mean, I love you- but only as a best friend. I've known that for a while, now."
"Why didn't you tell me before, then?" She asked, as she sat up
"Because, everyone wanted us to be together. It felt like it was our job to be together. Even Kate wanted us together. Hell, she even helped us get together."
"I know what you mean."
"What?" Gordo asked confused
"I mean- we were just together for the sake of everyone else- not for ourselves, is that what you mean?"
"Yah." Gordo answered, "How did you know?"
"Cause that is exactly how I feel."
They were silent once again. So the truth came out. They both knew how they felt. But the question, now, was- what are we gonna do about it?
"Lizzie, what do we do now?"
"I don't know" Lizzie began, "but I can tell you right now, that I can only see you as a best friend. I think I've always seen you as a best friend. I miss that- I miss my best friend."
"I miss my best friend, too." He smiled, even though she couldn't see it, "So, this is it?"
"I guess so." Lizzie answered
"We're best friends again?"
"We always were." She laughed
"You know what I mean." He replied, "Man, I never knew breaking up was this easy."
"I don't think it is." Lizzie stated, "I mean- when other people break up, they lose a friend. But, right now, when we just broke up- we gained a best friend."
"I never heard anything more true in my life."
::from laney
so they broke up- but they're still best friends.. yAy for them! sorry it's short, but i just wanted to write a chapter where lizzie and gordo actually talk. it might have been rushed, but see- they both feel the same way and they both just- understand each other.
review, yah?! =)
