CHAPTER 7
Insanity (Lizzie's P.O.V.)
The phone rang at my house for what seemed like the millionth time. I picked it up and wasn't even allowed to say a greeting.
"Lizzie. You have to go over to Gordo's house right now and make up with him. If it's not now, then it's never. You choose." It was Kate. I knew it was. But she hung up before I could reply.
I thought for a few minutes about what she had just told me, and came to just one conclusion. It was now or never. I chose now. I quickly ran a comb through my hair, grabbed my purse, and ran out the door without even telling my mom where I was going.
On the way to Gordo's house, I went over in my head what I was going to say to him. I reached the Gordon house in about ten minutes. I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.
Gordo answered the door with a not-too-surprised look on his face.
"Hey." He said in a slightly nervous voice. He moved out of the way so that I could come in. "Listen," he said, closing the door behind us. "I'm sorry about today, I had no right to-"
"Don't apologize, Gordo. You had every right to say those things." I said, taking a step towards him. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so stupid this summer. My mom almost grounded me for the rest of the summer...again...because I was so stupid. Why was I so stupid Gordo?!" I exclaimed, getting really mad at myself.
"Lizzie," said Gordo, placing his hands on my shoulders and looking into my eyes. "It's ok. I forgive you."
"Really?" I said. "After all I did this summer?"
"After everything you've ever done to make me angry at you, I forgive you."
"You mean you don't hate me?"
"No. I could never hate you. Even when I'm mad at you, I can't hate you." He said, his hands still resting on my shoulders. I smiled at him.
"Thank you." I hugged him with all my might, and he hugged me back. And we just stood hugging each other for what seemed like the longest time. But that was all right with me. I had Gordo back.
