What If?

Fights

Lizzie's POV

I walked downstairs for breakfast on Saturday and I seen my mother sitting at the table talking to Matt about putting glue on Dad's chair. Typical Matt. I went in and got some Orange Juice. I wasn't hungry. The situation with Gordo drained me and I didn't want to stay in the kitchen with my probing mother. I hurriedly walked out and plopped on the couch. I turned on the TV and started to watch a movie. I wasn't even paying attention to it. I was snapped out of my trance by the doorbell ringing.

"I'll get it!" I yelled. I opened the door and seen Gordo standing there. I don't know what happened. I guess it was a reaction cause as soon as he opened his mouth to speak I slammed the door in his face.

"Lizzie, come on we need to talk." I heard Gordo say from the other side of the door.

"Go away Gordo. I have nothing to say to you." I said back. I started my way up the stairs when my mother and father opened the door.

"Lizzie, did you know that you slammed the door on Gordo?" Dad asked. Duh!! I wanted to scream, but I just folded my arms across my chest and stared at Gordo as he walked in.

"Lizzie we need to talk. Just let me explain." Gordo pleaded. I watched him as he came in front of me and held my hand. "Just hear me out, ok?"

I lost it. I was an emotional wreck and here he is acting like it really was no big deal. "I don't want to talk about it anymore Gordo! You made out with Kate, and you didn't seem to care about me while you were doing it. I mean, I thought you loved me." I said. I had pulled my hands away from him and he just stood there.

"Why won't you believe me? She kissed me I didn't kiss her. I didn't tell her to sit on my lap!!" Gordo said raising his voice at me. I glared at him.

"But you wasn't pushing her off either. You had your hands on her head and you were kissing her. I was standing right there Gordo, and I seen it. I seen how passionate you was with her and you want to know what? I hope you two rot in hell!!!!" I turned away from him and ran up stairs. Gordo was calling to me but I didn't care. He betrayed me. It was around 9:00 and I was already wishing that the day would end.

Gordo's POV

I left the McGuire house with my head hung low. When I got to the safety of my room I just lay there. Thinking on how everything turned from good to bad. And then that's when the guilt came. I knew that Lizzie was right. I did kiss Kate back. I did have my hands on her. I totally cheated on Lizzie and I tried to tell myself otherwise. I must be some idiot. I cursed myself in my head. I had to talk to someone about this. I grabbed my phone and called Miranda. She picked up on the third ring.

"Miranda its Gordo. I need someone to talk to."

Miranda's POV

I was happy that Gordo called me to talk. But as soon as I realized that all he was going to do was bellyache about Lizzie, my enthusiasm left right then and there. It hurt me that all Gordo could think or talk about was Lizzie. I don't know why I felt that way, but then again I did. I loved Gordo, no matter what. He did belong with me. I was angry at Lizzie for making him this sad. I mean I loved Gordo and here he was just using me as someone to fall back on when things went sour between him and Lizzie. What a crock. I wanted to yell at him and tell him that he was just too stupid to realize that I will always love him, but then I realized that all I keep thinking about at the moment was me, and here was one of my best friends spilling his heart guts and soul out to me. What kind of friend am I? I asked myself.

"How do you think I should admit my guiltiness? Do you think she'll take me back?" Gordo asked. I realized that he was still talking and I snapped back into the conversation. I really didn't know what the hell he was talking about, but I had to pretend that I was being a good friend and listening to him.

"I'm sure she will forgive you in time Gordo, but not now. Give her some more time." I said. It was pretty good advice and I knew it.

"Thanks for listening to me Miranda. Talk to you later." He hung up. I hung up the phone and thought about it. I had to go talk to Lizzie. I got my coat and left my house and walked into the direction of the McGuire house.

Lizzie's POV

I had just finished writing in my diary when I heard the doorbell ring and my mom start to talk to someone.

"Lizzie is upstairs."

"Thanks Mrs. McGuire." I heard Miranda say.

Miranda! Miranda was here. That made me a little happy. I hid my diary and then Miranda walked in. She looked awkward. She also looked nervous.

"What's up Randa?" I asked. She looked at me and then looked to the floor. Then back at me.

"I just came to say that I think that you should take Gordo back. He said he was sorry, and it was obviously a mistake. He feels so guilty."

I looked at her. "Ok. But I really don't care. He kissed Kate. Kate!! I can't just let that go. I need some time away from him. Hang with him make him feel better something that would make this situation better."

"I can't. I hate being around him and all he does is talk about you. I mean he acts like you are a freakin Princess." Miranda spat. I looked at her with shock.

"Miranda what the hell is your problem? It's not my fault."

"Yes it is!!! Gordo has been in love with you for years and you acted like you never noticed. Like you couldn't care less what he was feeling for you! And then you go and take his heart, raise his expectations and then you drop him because of one little mistake. He will always be in love with you and he won't ever give a chance to the person that deserves his love. That he should love instead of a selfish cry baby like you!!!!" Miranda yelled.

I looked at her as realization dawned on me. "You're in love with Gordo." I said. Miranda looked at me and then put her hands on her hips.

"So what If I am? He won't give me a chance because he thinks that you can do no wrong. I hate it when he calls me just to talk about you. Do you think it's fair to me!!??? Do you!!??"

"Miranda. I can't tell you what to feel I really can't. And I have no control over what Gordo feels. But I do know that I really don't feel comfortable with you in love with my boyfriend."

"Oh now he's your boyfriend!! Just a few minutes ago you was saying how you hate him now suddenly he's your boyfriend. You know what Lizzie. I think you are just scared. Cause you know if you stay away from him long enough, he'll realize his feelings for me. And he will love me and leave you in the cold. Is that why you suddenly changed your mind? Is it??!!! Well I have news for you missy, I don't ever plan on changing my feelings for Gordo. And soon, he will see them and return them. And no one will love you."

I was hurt by her words but I didn't show it. "Miranda, you will only hurt yourself. You should just stop this nonsense."

"I don't give a damn what you say anymore Dizzy!!! Forget you. You think everybody is supposed to love you and be your friend and hang on your every word. But you have a rude awakening coming honey. And it won't be pretty." With that Miranda turned and stormed down the stairs.

I was speechless. I didn't know what to say. I fell on the bed and soon I was in tears. This just wasn't my day. It was nearing lunchtime, and I had already cried enough for a week. If Miranda thinks that she will win Gordo over, then she has another thing coming. There was no way in hell that she was going to take Gordo away from me. No way!
