Chapter 3: No Turning Back

Lizzie went to the Beau's Point Park by herself to think the next night. As she was thinking, a familiar face was approaching her. The dark, curly locks gave her a vague picture in her mind. That irresistible million- dollar smile came back to her. But he was shorter before. VERY short. Now he seemed taller than anybody she ever knew.

Wait!!! It couldn't be!! Could it? It was!!! Gordo!! It WAS him. And, one of the brothers was standing with him. Ronnie Jacobs was, actually.

"Hello, Sister Lizzie. You may know him from your days of childhood. Before you joined our family. David. Lizzie."

"Lizzie McGuire. I remember you. I think about you everyday. At least after my girlfriend." Lizzie laughed. She hadn't laughed in days. As they were reunited, Gordo hugged her tight. Lizzie felt that same warmth she did when she was happy.

The reunion wasn't for long, though. Ronnie tore them apart harshly, taking Gordo mercilessly away from Lizzie. He pulled out a sharp metal rod, the kind they use at power plants. He dragged Gordo and did something that would change Lizzie's life forever.

WHAM! Right in the head! As he hit Gordo, Lizzie felt the pangs of pain he felt. It was almost like a vibe.

"NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T DO IT! YOU BRAIN-DEAD ASSHOLE!! STOP IT!!!" Lizzie cried at the top of her lungs.

She lunged forward at Ronnie before he could stop her. She snatched the rod from him with all her might, and smacked him. Ronnie was too strong for her though. He pulled the rod and kept smacking Gordo on the head. Lizzie was in dead shock. She said nothing. She did nothing. She didn't even breathe. All those beautiful moments and emotions came rushing back to her and silently tore her apart.

Ronnie was done mercilessly beating him. Lizzie rushed to his side and asked, "Are you okay Gordo?"

"Lizzie-please-I love you. I always have. I always will." then he closed his eyes and stopped breathing.

Lizzie cried and cried as if it wasn't real. She thought it wasn't. Gordo had stopped suffering and that was it. Lizzie got the serious reality check she needed.
