Disclaimer: I don't own Lizzie McGuire. I, however, am Adam's best friend!
Haha!
A/N: Would you believe me if I told you that I typed this after chapter 13? Anyway, I'm so sorry this took long, so, without further ado, here's chapter 12...
Chapter 12 - Bring Me Home
Gordo opened his heavy eyes. He sensed that it was already dark, and he found out that he was right when he saw that it was already seven o'clock. He tried to remember what exactly happened, and when he attempted to lift his arms, he saw his two best friends sleeping on each of them. He decided to start moving along before his parents saw them still there.
"Lizzie... Lizzie... Miranda... wake up..." Lizzie and Miranda then began to stir.
"Gordo? Huh? Wha?"
"Gordo? Is it time for dinner already?"
"It's now seven in the evening. Your folks must be worried by now. Come on, I better walk the two of you home now. You don't want to get me punished again now, don't you?"
"Guess not," Lizzie realized, "come on Miranda."
"Lizzie, wait. Gordo, you're still grounded, remember?"
"Oh," Gordo replied, defeated. "I guess I won't be."
"David..." It was Mr. Gordon.
"Dad, I can explain... this is not-"
"No need to explain dear," Mrs. Gordon reassured her son. Gordo was now confused.
"Look, why don't you walk your friends home now? There's no need to worry about an angry mob on the way; we already called them..."
"You wha-?"
"What do you mean Mr. Gordon," Miranda asked perplexedly.
"It's simple really honey," Mrs. Gordon replied.
Mr. Gordon then took it from there. "David, we're no longer grounding you. Your mom and I have seen that you have matured... a LOT..."
"...so we decided to give your freedom back. We trust you... we love you..."
Lizzie and Miranda were deeply moved. They turned around to Gordo, and he was crying. No, he wasn't crying tears of sadness but tears filled with joy and love. Gordo walked to his parents and stood on his toes to give each of them a peck on the cheek.
"Mom... dad... thanks... I love you both so much..."
"Well," Mrs. Gordon snapped back, "you kids better be moving along now..."
"Mr. and Mrs. Gordon... thanks," Miranda greeted.
"Yeah... for being so nice to Gordo. Thank you both so much. Good night!" Lizzie said as they bid farewell.
The three started to walk towards Miranda's house first. The street was pretty dark and lonely, but Miranda and Lizzie felt very safe again... now with Gordo around. It was, however, quite silent that it was sort of deafening. So, Miranda spoke up.
"Gordo, you are so lucky! My parents aren't as giving and as trusting as yours. Ooh... how I would want to be in your place!"
"Well, I'm one pretty lucky guy... but I'm even luckier, now that I have you both back again," Gordo answered. He then flashed such a goofy smile. The two girls giggled when they saw it; how they missed that smile!
"Gordo, we're just so glad that you're back," Lizzie said.
"Guys, I'm just so glad to BE back... Oh look Miranda, we're here! Good night!"
"Thanks," Miranda bid. "See you both tomorrow at school!"
"See you on the flip side! Nightie!"
Gordo and Lizzie then waited until she finally got inside before they proceeded to walk towards the McGuires. It was once more awfully quiet.
'It's this thing again! Why do I have this feeling whenever I'm around Lizzie? It's not like we haven't walked like this before... lots of times even. I mean, even when Miranda wasn't still part of our lives, we had a lot of fun-no troubles, no worries, no... awkwardness. What is this? I must be sick... must've been something I ate... yeah, that must be it... must've been that-'
"Gordo? Gordo?!" Lizzie was beginning to worry.
"Uh, yeah? What? Sorry Lizzie, I've just been thinking a lot lately... Sorry to worry you."
"Gordo, don't you think that you have been thinking too much already? And whatever it is, why don't you share it with me and Miranda? We can talk about anything again, remember?"
"I know... well, never mind... oh look Lizzie, we're here now."
"Gordo, thanks. I missed you... a lot... and I'm so happy... that you're back..." Lizzie began to cry. Gordo did not like this. Then, Lizzie leaned on him and began to cry on his shoulder... literally.
"It's alright, Lizzie... I missed you too. But no matter what happens, please remember that I will always be here for you... and Miranda..."
"Thanks... Gordo... I guess I just... just... missed you so much... Oh, I'm so sorry that I got your shirt wet..."
"It's alright... now get inside before you get your parents worried..."
"Thank you again..."
At that moment, Lizzie leaned in on Gordo and kissed him on the cheek. Lizzie then turned and headed inside.
'Speak up Gordo! That was definitely a kiss... a K-I-S-S, a KISS! Don't be confused now! If you are, why don't you stop her and ask? Or better yet, tell her how you feel! Don't ask about how you feel, you know it, you just won't accept it! For crying out loud David, speak up! Do something... anything!'
"Um, Lizzie?"
"Yes?"
"Well, um..."
"What is it?"
Gordo swallowed hard. His fingers and legs went numb.
"Well... um... thanks for..."
"Thanks for what? The -'
"Thanks for coming over this afternoon... so... see you tomorrow?"
Gordo was clearly blushing, but Lizzie did not notice from a distance.
"Sure, anytime."
Lizzie turned around and got inside the house. Gordo, on the other hand, was left there, standing, astounded.
'It's official, Gordo... as of seven-thirty seven p.m., this twenty-sixth of October, you have fallen in love with your best friend Elizabeth Brooke McGuire... and all you did tonight was act stupid.'
"Stupid, huh? Well, I guess I am," Gordo breathed to no one in particular. Has he really fallen in love with his best friend? Sure he has heard of this before, but... HE and LIZZIE? Could things get any weirder?
And so, Gordo walked such heavy steps home. He decided to go up the stairs and straight to his room. He wrote a 'can't talk, not hungry, just tired' note on his door. Then, he immediately fell on his bed.
"'Thanks for coming over.'? 'See you tomorrow.'? Gosh Gordo, you really are stupid," Gordo said to himself. Seeing as he could not do anything else, he went to sleep.
"Sweet dreams, Gordo... sweet dreams... of Lizzie..."
And Gordo had slept away...
A/N: Gordo's finally in love! How could such a genius act so stupid? Well, that's love... What's in store for Gordo... and his love? Stick around to find out! R/R!
I have just noticed that I often end my chapters with Gordo falling asleep... I hope my story isn't becoming so unpredictable. But don't worry guys, Gordo shall be experiencing a lot more action in the future, so please be back! R/R!
