Reviews: Thank you so much X5-343 for that wonderful review! Hope you like this new chapter and you don't go insane before I have a chance to put it up lol.

A/N: Thank you to everyone who has been supportive and given me ideas! The basic first part of this chapter takes place at Gordo's house. Also, this is a PG13 rating so in the L/G scene it can't get too racy. I don't want to make it an R rating either. And keep in mind that this is their junior year in high school, so they can drive. But Lizzie doesn't have her own car yet! Enjoy!

Ring, ring, ring Lizzie answered the phone

"Hello"?

"Hey Lizzie, it's Gordo. Ready for me to come pick you up?"

"Sure. I'll be waiting outside in the driveway."

"Okay, see you in a few!" Gordo said, picking up his car keys on the way.

The drive on the way to Gordo's house was very long and silent. Or maybe it was long because it was silent. Anyhow, Lizzie was still searching for the words. Gordo unlocked the door and let Lizzie go ahead of him into the house.

"Were here." Gordo said, putting his keys away.

"Yep" Lizzie replied, still unsure of what to say.

"So, what was so important that you couldn't say in school?"

"Here, lets sit down" Lizzie said, pointing to the couch.

"O.k."

"Alrighty, here goes. Just, please, try to be open minded about this. Miranda didn't take it too well and I don't want to lose you as my friend also."

"Lizzie, just say whatever it is that you wanted to say." Gordo seemed to be getting impatient now. After all, he had waited about 12 hours.

"Do you remember the week after we broke up?"

"Vaguely. Should I?" Gordo inquired.

"Well, Miranda and I went to a party at Ethan Crafts house. A lot of drinks, among other stuff, were being passed around and one thing led to another. The next thing I knew, I woke up and I was laying beside Ethan, naked."

Gordo just sat there with a baffled look on his face, as if it was too much to take in.

Lizzie continued, "Now that I embarrassed Kate in class and I'm in two of her classes, well, I think she might tell people. If Ethan has told her that is. And since you're my best friend I wanted you to know before everyone started talking about it."

Lizzie's voice weakened as if she was getting ready to cry. Gordo gave her a big hug.

"Everything's going to be okay. Don't worry, I doubt Kate even has the sense to think that much into getting someone back"

Lizzie started to laugh a little as she looked up at Gordo. For a couple of moments the two were just staring into each other's eyes. Wondering what the other was thinking. Then it happened, they both leaned in and passionately kissed. Lizzie jumped up, grabbing her coat as she walked towards the door.

"Gordo, I can't do this. We tried it before and it didn't work out. I don't have the energy at this point to try and make it work again."

She sat down on the floor and started crying.

"Everything's going wrong. Ethan used me, Miranda hates me, Kate is probably going to humiliate me, and I can't even be loyal to you!"

She was hysterical at this point. Gordo sat down beside her, holding her.

"You haven't done anything wrong. You've been a great friend to both me, and Miranda. You're a good person who made a mistake. Don't beat yourself up for it."

Lizzie wiped her tears away and looked up at Gordo who was staring into her eyes. She kissed him passionately except this time they were laying down on the floor. Lizzie got up, took Gordo's two hands in hers, and helped him off the floor with a slight smile on her face. Still holding his hands she slowly started walking backwards towards his bedroom.

"Lizzie, you're vulnerable right now. I don't want to take advantage." Gordo said with a sympathetic voice.

"Gordo, it's not like we haven't ever done anything before." Lizzie reasoned

"Yea, but we've never had sex before."

"Come on" Lizzie said, still leading him up to his bedroom. "Were not doing anything wrong" she continued.

The two sat on his bed and started kissing. Gordo laid Lizzie on her back, and started feeling around her shirt. Lizzie unzipped her jeans.

Later on

Lizzie and Gordo were trying to find their clothes when Gordo noticed the time.

"Hey, what time were you supposed to be home? It's 12:30 now."

"Oh my god, I was supposed to be home an hour ago!" Lizzie said as she slipped back into her jeans and ran to her coat by the front door.

"Wait up, I'll drive you home! Gordo said as he hurried after her.

In the car on the way to Lizzie's house.

"So, can you believe winter break is the day after tomorrow" Gordo asked, trying to strike up conversation.

"Oh I know! It's just too bad that I have to spend it with my family on a road trip going to my grandma's instead of with you!" Lizzie sounded excited but down at the same time.

"So, Liz, do you consider us a couple now?"

" Well, I'd certainly like to try it again." She said looking up at Gordo.

School the next day (last day before winter break)

"Okay loser, since we have 4 weeks to do this project we don't need to spend our winter break together. After we get back we'll work on it. SEPERATLY!" Kate dominantly said.

"Sounds good to me!" Lizzie agreed.

Later on at lunch

"Hey Gordo, where's Miranda? I was hoping to talk to her today at lunch!" Lizzie asked, hoping Gordo could give her any information.

"Didn't she tell you? She and her family wanted to leave a day early since the flight to Florida would take up a whole day of their trip."

"Oh, I guess I'll just have to talk to her when we all get back. Poor Gordo's going to be all alone." Lizzie teased as she fed him a grape.

"So, do you think Kate told anyone about you know what?" Gordo inquired

"I don't know yet. Everyone was too busy talking about what they were going to do over winter break. You know Kate, even if she did want to tell someone she wouldn't interrupt while they were talking about how cute she'll look in a pair of Abercrombie and Fitch jeans when she visits New York!

The two finished lunch and made a plan to meet at the courtyard as soon as school let out that day.

"Hey McGuire!" Gordo shouted trying to get Lizzie's attention.

"Gordon!" Lizzie shouted back.

The two ran to each other and said that they would try to call every other day. Then the crowd dispersed leaving only Lizzie and Gordo. Lizzie's mom pulled up with her luggage already loaded up in the car.

"Come on hunny! We gotta go before we get stuck in traffic!" Lizzie's mom shouted through the station wagon's rolled down windows.

"You better go Liz."

The two gave each other a quick peck on the cheek not wanting their parents to know that they were dating again.

"See you soon!" Lizzie yelled as she was getting into the Wagon.

"You can count on it!"

A/N: Alright! What do you guys think? This isn't one of those dying chapters. In fact, it's just picking up. I haven't covered HALF the stuff I want to and this is my fifth chapter. There's going to be a lot of twists and a lot more drama! Hope ya'll are still reading. If you are, let me know, review. Even if you've done it before. Thanks

Things to think about: What's Miranda hiding (seems like the question that will never get answered, but it will)? Does Kate know? What will happen with Gordo and Lizzie? And how will Miranda react when/if she finds out? And I'm not going to spoil what I have planned for next chapter! REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
