Disclaimer: I do not own anything having to do with Lizzie McGuire or any music I may list in my chapters.

Reviews: Thank you Crash and Burn and Aubrey Jean! I am glad to see that my story is still making the cut lol.

A/N: I haven't decided how I'm going to end this story or how many more chapters I have left. How does everyone feel about a Kate fic? Does everyone want a Kate fic or a Kate/Ethan fic?

Lizzie hung up with Parker unsure if she should have told her. She decided to get her mind off of it and read the rest of the page she'd started.

** Yesterday, Saturday, Claire and I decided to go to the movies with a couple of her friends. Ethan got so crazy when he saw Claire, me and two boys sitting together at the theatre. He came over to where I was sitting and pulled me by my arm out of the theatre. He dragged me to his car and started yelling at me. It was so horrible. I was really scared of him. He accused me of cheating on him and then when I tried to explain what we were doing 'WHAM' he slapped me across the face. I haven't talked to him since. I'm still in shock. I never saw Ethan as the type to hit anyone. I felt sick after he brought me home. **

'Kate had to of done something to make Ethan hit her. I just can't see him doing that for no reason. No, no. He wouldn't have. She provoked it!' Lizzie reassured herself.

"Hello?" Lizzie answered the phone

"Lizzay, hey its Ethan."

"H-hey, Ethan. What's, um, what's up?"

"Are you okay?"

"Yea I'm fine."

"I was wondering if you wanted to come over to my house tonight."

"I don't know. My parents want me to stay here I think."

"Oh come on. Just for a couple hours?"

"Um, well, okay."

"Great. Pick you up around seven?"

"Sure. See you then."

"Later."

'Ethan would totally never hit me! I have nothing to worry about!'

Lizzie straightened her hair and put it up in a ponytail. She put on her baby blue sweat suit and tennis shoes. Lizzie grabbed her mom's car keys and just as she was heading out the door the phone rang.

'Uh!' Lizzie started to get the phone.
'It's probably just for mom or dad anyway. I'm already late.' She said as she walked out the door.

"Hey Lizzie!" Ethan said, opening the door as an invitation in.

"Hey Ethan." Lizzie hesitantly walked in.

"What's up with the baggy clothes?"

"Nothing. I just didn't feel like dressing up today. So what are we doing tonight?"

"I thought that we'd start with a movie."

"Where are your parents?"

"Didn't I mention that?"

"No."

"They're out of town. It's just me and you tonight, babe." Ethan put his arm around Lizzie's shoulder. "Want anything to drink?"

"No thanks. What movie are we watching?"

"Swimfan."

"Oh, ok."

Ethan sat on the couch and put his arm around Lizzie. The movie was now at the part where Jesse Bradford and Erika Christensen were in the pool. Ethan's arm started to slide downwards from Lizzie's shoulder.

"Why are you moving away from me?"

"I'm a little hot."

"Then take off your shirt." Ethan was now trying to remove Lizzie's sweatshirt.

"STOP IT!"

"Don't act like you don't want to!" Ethan lay on top of Lizzie and pinned her arms to the couch.

"Ethan, get off of me!" Lizzie screamed. Just then they both heard pounding on the door. Ethan ignored it hoping whoever it was would go away. He covered Lizzie's mouth.

"Help me!" Lizzie tried to scream but it only sounded like muffles of words.

"OPEN THE DOOR" a familiar voice came from outside.

"Hold on." Ethan yelled. "You better act like nothing's wrong! If you don't I will come back for you! Do you understand?" Ethan whispered in Lizzie's ear. Lizzie nodded.

"Open the fucking door Ethan! I will break the window if."

"I'm coming! What do you want?" Ethan asked opening the door.

Gordo forced the door all the way open and shoved Ethan up against the wall.

"What the fuck do you think your doing?"

"What are you talking about man?"

"Oh my god, Lizzie, are you okay?" Parker ran over to Lizzie. Lizzie didn't even have time to respond. Gordo threw Ethan on the floor and repeatedly hit him in several places until Ethan wasn't moving.

"Let's get out of here!" Gordo took Lizzie and Parker out of the house and into his car.

"How did you know where I was?"

"Gordo overheard Ethan telling a couple guys that he was going to do some girl tonight weather she wanted to or not. We figured it had to be you. We tried calling but no one answered." Parker, who was sitting in the backseat with Lizzie, answered.

"What do we do now?" Lizzie asked.
