Lizzie stared in shock as her friend pushed the door open a swung it shut with a loud bang. Miranda glared at Lizzie, a mental fire blazing in her eyes. Lizzie knew what was coming. She could see it in those blazing infernos. And Lizzie was in the perfect mood to act like the wounded puppy.
"Miranda?!?" Lizzie said, snatching her wrist back. Miranda shot her a look of pity, then a pure look of hatred. "Ok, Lizzie. Please tell me. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Miranda defiantly emphasized her point in her statement. She stared Lizzie down' she knew she'd break eventually. But Miranda didn't know that Lizzie had a new self-esteem. She could play too.
"What are you talking about, Miranda. I was just going downstairs to get some punch-" Miranda cut Lizzie off by holding up her hand. Her skin was read and blotchy, like it gets when she's really worked up over something.
"Don't play dumb, Lizzie. I heard you. I heard you tell Gordo about your heroism to save his life. I heard you tell him lies filled with your bull- shit, Lizzie!" A vein in Miranda's left temple was throbbing violently. For a few seconds Lizzie was mesmerized by the vein going in, and out. And in, and out. Then, Lizzie returned to stare down the ferociousness of the tiger-eyes that mirrored her own.
"You don't know what you're talking about Miranda!" Lizzie' s voice was slowly gaining intensity. She was pissed at Miranda for accusing her, she was pissed at herself for letting Miranda find out. "Just because I am a GOOD friend and try to help my, my, 'so called friends', when they're in danger does not make anything I say bull shit. And how the hell am I supposed to even begin to believe on damn word you say? Huh? Especially when everything you say is dripping with disdain, and-and-jealousy!" Miranda was obviously taken aback by what Lizzie had thrown at her. Dripping with disdain and jealousy?
"Lizzie? What the hell! You know, you are such a bitch! I am not jealous of you! I never will be jealous of you. Face it; you are a lying, cheating, bitch. I know you too well for you to cover up what you're doing! I know that you're just scheming to break Gordo and Julia up. Well, want to know what? That's not going to happen anytime soon. Want to know why?" Miranda was slurring her words together with her anger. Her eyes flashed immediately as Lizzie rolled her eyes and cocked her perfectly plucked eyebrow. "You know why. I can see it; it's underneath your mask. The thing you don't want to hear. Brace yourself Lizzie, this may come as a shock to you. Gordo doesn't love you. He never has loved you; if he did, who do you think he'd be with right now. Sure as hell not Julia. He loves her, Lizzie. Not you," as Miranda said what wrenched Lizzie's heart apart, tears formed in the corners of her eyes. Her vision blurred over and silent tears snaked their way across her emotionless face.
Lizzie pulled herself together, and remembered all the great times she had spent with Gordo. She felt a fire welding up in her heart, allowing her confidence. "Gordo loves me," she said weakly. Building up strength and volume Lizzie stared Miranda in the eye and pierced her with her confidence. "Gordo does love me; he will love me."
Miranda shook her head. "You just don't get it do you, Lizzie? He is with Julia. And by you splitting him and the girl her loves up, he will never speak to you again. And neither will I," Miranda choked the last words out, almost forcing them to be said. She reminded herself that they needed to be said.
"God damnit! Don't you get it, Miranda? I love Gordo. I need Gordo. And I sure as hell do not need you. I have found love, and it feels good. Maybe, if you weren't so damn petty, you would know how it feels. But you are too busy sticking your head up your ass and bothering me with your lame ass problems! Go to hell, Miranda!" Miranda stood there. Lifeless; unable to move. Lizzie had sunk to a level, a level far too deep. Miranda raised her hand a slapped Lizzie across the face and walked past and muttered something like, "Rot in Hell, Bitch". Lizzie didn't care. She didn't need Miranda to watch out for her. She needed Gordo. And she was going to get him. And that kiss.
Gordo went into the downstairs bathroom and cupped his hands underneath the running faucet. The ice-cold water stunned his palms for a few seconds, but he adjusted quickly. He looked at his reflection in the mirror, grimaced, and quickly glanced away. His eye was swelling by the minute; surrounded by a circular bruise, that made a half moon shape underneath his eye. His mom and dad would definitely be more protective of him now; more than ever. He splashed the water over his eye, and winced at the cold of it. He rested both hands on the corners of the sink. He needed to know what he had done to loose his self control. He never though, in a million years, that him, out of all people would throw the first punch. It wasn't like him. "I need to do something about this", Gordo though to himself as he shook his head at his reflection. He knew what was done, was done, and he had to live with the sight of his fist slamming into Jeff's face. Then he thought of how much of an ass he was to the two best people in his life. Not to pick favorites, but he had already dealt with the second best. He just needed to go find Julia, and see if she would ever speak to him again. First, he rinsed water through his curls, and ran his fingers through his hair. Each small ringlet was glistened with water, and looked like it was gelled. He looked up, then back down at his hands. He acted ridiculously. And at this point he didn't know if Julia ever wanted to speak to him again. Gordo was about to leave the room when he heard an abrupt knock on the bathroom door. Gordo raised his eyebrows "Who the hell?" he murmured to himself. He swung the door open to find Julia standing parallel to him, her hands on her hips.
Gordo stared at her for a second. Afraid of what she was going to say. She stood there and sized him up with her eyes. She didn't look too happy; but she didn't look pissed either. She looked confused. She looked at him and stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.
"Why did you do that David?" Gordo took a double take. She had never called him David before. This was serious. He didn't know how to react.
Gordo sighed really heavily, and looked around the room. He ran his right hand through his hair, and sighed once again through his nose. He didn't know what to say. Testosterone? No, it's not like he's on steroids or anything. "I don't know. Seriously. I just reacted the only way I could think of." Julia looked down at him, almost disappointed.
"That's not you, Gordo. I know you would never do something like that. There had to be something else on your mind."
Julia and Gordo had a long discussion and made up, and made out until it was time to leave the party. Miranda and Lizzie were colder than ice as they walked on the cool California night.
There was a more than awkward silence ringing in the air, and all that was heard was the pounding footsteps of Lizzie's flip flops. Once Miranda had gotten to her house, Lizzie felt so much more comfortable. She was finally alone with Gordo. Finally.
Lizzie slowed down to a complete stop, pretending to readjust her T-Shirt. Gordo stopped and turned around. He gave her a questioning look. Lizzie's heart skipped a beat; had Miranda told Gordo about their fight? Had she told him about Lizzie's scheme to break him and Julia up? Gordo took a deep breath and moved a little closer to Lizzie. She knew this was it; Gordo had found out.
