Gordo was 28 and was living with his roomates, Ethan and Danny. Over the years Gordo and them became good friends, and chipped in to buy the apartment. Like Lizzie, he lived a lonely life. His heart was still broken, from Lizzie. Every day, he watched Danny and Ethan go out with their girlfriends, and he would stay home and watch t.v. He dated a couple of times, but the only thing on his mind was Lizzie.
He and Lizzie stopped talking after the graduation party, when she left early. No one knew where she went, except for Miranda. Miranda and Lizzie were still bestfriends, and he knew it. Miranda didn't know he knew. He got her number from Ryan and while they were talking, he over heard Lizzie talking in the background. He always wondered about Lizzie, and why she left him. He thought they where perfect for each other. Bestfriends shouldn't date. You lose a girlfriend and a bestfriend.
Gordo still had his curly brown hair and his baby blue eyes. He ran his fingers through his hair, like Lizzie used to do when they would kiss.
"Yo Gordo!" The door opened and Ethan walked in and his fiance Kate was behind him. Kate was at their apartment alot, and she grew to be nicer. She and Gordo talked alot and she helped in get over the pain Lizzie gave him. He was like another Lizzie to him, except they didn't like each other.
"Hey," Gordo said, staring at the blank t.v. screen.
"Hmm, what are you watching, it looks interesting," Kate said sarcasticly, and sat on next to Gordo and gave him a hug. He put one arm around her and she patted his shoulder.
"Are you okay?" She said, making sure he was okay.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He said, trying to sound happy.
"Good." She smiled. Ethan sat on the other side of Kate and she leaned on his shoulder.
"Gordo, do you want to go out to eat with us?" Ethan asked.
"Nah, you guys can go, I'll stay here. Thanks anyways," He nodded his head, and stared at the picture of him and Lizzie, the night before their first prom together.
"Please?!" Kate said, whining and put her arms around him, "What if I get you a date?" She said, still hugging him.
He sighed, "No, I'm fine." Kate loosened her grip and gave up.
"Okay." She got up, "I'm gonna go take a shower now."
After she left, Ethan scooted closer to Gordo, "Man, you need to date! Get over Lizzie." He tried to get over Lizzie, everytime he did, he failed.
"I know, but it's hard," Ethan nodded and understood. Gordo just sat on the couch for an hour and thought about Lizzie. His heart ached for her and she's all he wanted.
Kate walked into the living room and stood in the middle of the room, infront of Gordo.
"How do I look?" She asked, doing a twirl.
"Very pretty," He said, cracking a smile. She was wearing a light blue dress and had ruffles on the edges.
"Thanks," She smiled and saw Ethan walked towards her.
"Hey, beautiful," He said, wrapping his arms around her.
"Hey handsome," She said bending her neck back, he gave her a kiss.
"Madam, your carrige awaits," He said, pointing to Danny, who was wearing a black suit and a cap. They all gave out a little laugh. Danny started to get red.
"Ethan, you better pay me, atleast $10!" He said, sarcasticly.
Ethan and Kate left the apartment and it was suddenly quiet. Gordo was alone, and he was always alone.
He walked to the kitchen and got a cookie from the box. He nibbled on the cookie. The silence usually didn't bother him, but that moment he was annoyed by it. He wanted to go on dates, like Danny. Maybe get a fiance, like Ethan.
He quielty walked down the hall and into his room. His room was a mess because Ethan slept in there last night, because he saw a spider in his room. Only if he knew that it was the fake spider he got from the fair, two days ago.
He sat on his bed and didn't do anything. Everything around seemed to stop, everytime he thought of Lizzie. Only if he could talk to Lizzie again. Just to know how she was. 'Was she married? Did she have a boyfriend? Or did she want me to? Why would she want me? She was the one who ran away from me.' He thought.
He looked at the small table next to his bed. There was a picture of him, Miranda, and Lizzie, when they were in middle school. He called them the 'good days'. Then there was another picture of Lizzie and him the night before their senior prom. He ran his finger across Lizzies face in the picture. Under the picture was a navyblue velvet box. He picked it up, and opened it. Inside was a silver ring with 3 real diamonds. He worked years to pay up for this ring. He picked it up out of the box and held it inbetween his index finger and thumb. He looked at it and looked at the bottom. He held it to his face and read it. "To Lizzie, my love" was engraved on the bottom of it. His heart ached more and more. He put the ring back in his box and put it back in it's spot.
An hour past and he didn't do anything. It was silent for awhile. A tear dropped down his face.
"Lizzie," He said to himself.
He rested his chin on the palm of both of his hands.
"God please. If you can just give me a sign, any sign. Anything that can make me get over Lizzie!" He said to himself loudly.
All of a sudden the phone rang. He didn't feel like answering it. He didn't want to talk to anyone. 'Maybe it was a sign' He thought.
He reached for the phone.
"Hello?" He said, sighing.
"Hi Gordo." The voice on the other line said. It sounded familiar. He blinked, it couldn't be. He forced himself to speak.
"Lizzie?" He said, pinching himself making sure he wasn't dreaming.
