Thanks to my two reviewers, loopylou1 and outlawed_little_angel.
Anywho, back to the story!
Flashback-
Music blaring, drink in my hand. I swerved my body in time to the music. Gordo started dancing with me. Everything was blured. I started walking into a bedroom..
End of Flashback
"Lizzie!! Lizzie wake up!!!"
Lizzie refused to open her eyes. She recognized the voice. It was her mother. All of the events from today rushed back.
She knew she would have to open her eyes sooner or later so she opened them now.
Her mother was standed in front of her, tears cascaded down her face like a steady waterfall. Gordo was standing beside her mom, crying too. Jo hugged her daughter and continued to cry.
Lizzie was in a hospital bed. In Hillridge Tribute Hospital.
"Mom I'm pregnant!! I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!!!!" Lizzie blurted out.
"I know sweetie. Its ok. The doctor said you collapsed most likely from stress. Don't worry. Everything will be ok!! You know what and abortion is, you will have an abortion and everything will be ok.."
Jo continued talking but Lizzie didn't hear her. She looked at Gordo who looked equally shocked. Lizzie released her mom from their previous embrace and Jo stopped talking.
Lizzie's POV
The past sixteen years I have looked up to her. I have agreed to almost everything she has said. I have learned almost everything I know morally from her. For the first time in my life I do not agree with her. I cannot have an abortion. I disagree with it completely. I look at Gordo and I know he feels the same way.
"No." I say strongly as I look into my mother's eyes.
"I am not having an abortion."
She stares at me then Gordo. Gordo nods vigorously. I do not look down. I stare at her intensly.
"Lizzie dear, you have been under a lot of stress. I am your mother and I know whats best for you. Abortion is our answer." Jo voice goes high at first then calm. She give me a fake smile.
"No. I am not giving up my baby to abortion. I rather die then give up a little baby!!! You do not always know whats best for me!! I do! I choose to have the baby." I shout at her.
"I agree with Lizzie. Abortion is not going to fix everything!" Gordo says.
Mom's fake smile fades.
"I will give you one last chance. Give up the baby or your father and I will kick you out of the house. You will be homeless." She says.
I close my eyes. I know the answer immediately.
"I will have this baby, no matter what."
My mother's face scrunches up. She looks the most angry I have ever seen her. Even worse then when Lanny and Matt drove dad's new car into a lake.
"Fine then. It is your choice." She says raspily.
She turns and leaves.
The funny thing is, I feel so much better. Almost like a burden has been lifted off my chest.
Gordo's POV
'Well, I guess we won't be having a baby shower from Lizzie's parents.' I think. I dismiss the thought immediately. This is not a joking time.
I hug Lizzie just as Miranda walks into the room.
"Lizzie!! Are you ok? The doctor says its stress. Oh Lizzie!! I was so worried!!"
Miranda hugs Lizzie then asks us how Mrs. McGuire took it.
Lizzie and I look at eachother, and I told her the reaction.
"Kick you out? You don't think she is serious do you?? Abortion??"
"She wasn't kidding Miranda. It okay though Lizzie. My parents say they are disappointed but will support us completely. You can have our guest room." I tell Lizzie.
"Thanks Gordo. Thanks Miranda. You guys are the best friends."
At that moment the doctor came in.
Lizzie's POV
The doctor told me I could go home, but I had to miss school for a week and take it easy. Gordo called his parents up and told them exactly what happened. To say the least they were furious at my mom's decision to boot me from my home. They told me I was welcome to stay at one of their two guest rooms. When they came to pick us up Mrs. Gordon gave me a hug and Mr. Gordon expressed that he was disappointed in Gordo and I but he would support us. Mrs. Gordon graciously agreed. They said they would go home after a visit to my parents home to try and talk to them about their decision.
Gordo, Miranda, Gordo's parents and I piled into their car and started towards my house. I dreaded every moment. I didn't feel like collapsing though. I wondered if the fact of my collapsing was really stress.
We reached my house. Mrs. Gordon and Mr. Gordon told us to stay in the car until they made it clear we could go in the house.
Finally Gordo, Miranda and I were all alone.
"Gordo!! I can't live with them again! Even if they said they support us fully and apologized!! There is no way I can live with them again!!" I cry.
"My parents don't want you to live with them if your mom was really serious about abortion and kicking you out, don't worry."
"Well. I know this is a bad time. but. You guys have any name ideas!!??" Miranda asked excitedly.
"Miranda." Gordo started.
"OH MY GOSH!! AFTER ME!!?? That's so sweet and if it's a guy you could call it Mirando!!"
"NO!! I was just going to agree with you and say its not a good time." The exasperated Gordo said.
Miranda looked deflated but smiled and said apologized.
We waited for five minutes. For ten, then twenty minutes. We were ready just to get out of the car and run in the house when Mrs. Gordon came out of the house in a hurry.
"Lizzie!! Come in the house now. Your mom and dad have made it clear they want you out. They are giving you fifteen minutes to pack and get out." She tells me.
I look at Gordo and Miranda. They look suprized. I get out of the car and run into the house with Mrs. Gordon.
I can hear Mr. Gordon's soft voice in the living room and my parents' voices yelling. I run upstairs into my room. I quickly pull out suitcases from under my bed open them and stare around my room. What to take?
I look around my room. So many memories.
I first go to my closet and pack one suitcase full of clothes. I then go and pack personal items like photo albums, and medals. I grab a blanket my granny made me when I was little and a picture of me singing in Rome. I took my laptop that I just received as an early birthday present and stuffed that into my suitcase. That was all I could think of getting. So I zipped up the suitcases, took a breath and left my room, my house and my old life. including the old Lizzie McGuire.
