Hey guys. I'm not gonna do too much of an intro cause I'm running short for
time. There just aren't enough hours in the day!

"Ok, well, Mom, Dad, Matt, I was, I was," Lizzie hesitated and turned around to face Gordo.
"Tell them." He whispered, then turned her back around.
"Ok, I was, I was, raped." She finally said and everyone just sat there mortified.
"Lizzie, oh my god my baby!" Mrs. McGuire jumped up and pulled Lizzie into a huge hug, tears filling her eyes. Lizzie pushed her away.
"Mom, that's not all of it." Jo sat back down as Lizzie continued her announcement. "I went to see a doctor. He said that I have, that I have AIDS."
**Currently**
Mrs. McGuire's hands clasped to her mouth and her father sat there mortified. The only person who moved was Lizzie. Once she made the announcement she spun around to run away but Gordo's embrace caught her. [[A.n: I got that from 'A Walk To Remember']] She stood in his arms for what seemed like hours but it was only seconds.
Jo was silently crying to herself as her husband tried to comfort her. Matt just sat there, unable to move.
"Lizzie," Gordo whispered. "Do you want to get some air?"
"Mmhmm." Lizzie, Gordo, and Miranda walked outside and sat on the bench that resided on the McGuire's front porch. Once they got there, Lizzie started crying.
"In can't believe I told them," Lizzie said through tears. "I ruined their lives. They will never be able to live through this any better than I will be able to."
"Lizzie, Lizzie. Listen to me," Gordo turned her face towards his. "You're doing great through all of this. I can't believe how well you've been doing. You've been on a normal routine. You're going to be fine."
"What about when I die? Huh? Or when I start getting sick? It's only a matter of time before that happens." Gordo and Miranda tried hard to hold back tears and be strong for Lizzie. Gordo succeeded, but Miranda didn't.
"Lizzie, don't talk like that," Miranda commanded, her eyes almost as tear stained red as Lizzie's. "Saying you'll die is only going to make it happen faster."
"But I will, I know I will. There's no doubt that I won't."
Gordo couldn't take it anymore. He needed time for himself to think.
He jumped out of the seat next to Lizzie and ran, he just ran. He ddn't know where he was going, or when he's get there, but he didn't care. Anywhere was better than hearing about Lizzie dieing.
After about five minutes of running, he reached the park, the perfect place to think.
He sat down on one of the swings and just started crying. And that's where he sat until dawn.
As Gordo ran off Lizzie got confused.
"Miranda," Lizzie said, now free of tears. "Why'd he run off?"
"Lizzie, all this talk about you, about you, dieing, Lizzie we don't want you to leave. Or talk like you are."
"But Miranda, I need him right now. When he ran off, it was like he was running away from me." Lizzie set her back against the back of the swinging bench and sighed. "It's like he doesn't want to be with me anymore."
"Liz, do you want me to talk to him?" Miranda asked, slightly mad at Gordo for running off like that.
"Yeah, but I want to be there." Lizzie pulled out her cell phone and dialed a number.
"Who you calling?" Miranda asked.
"Gordo, I want to know where he is." Just then, he picked up.
"Hello?"
"Gordo! Where are you?" Lizzie questioned.
"I'm at the park." He told her.
"Gordo I need to talk to you. I," Gordo cut her off.
"Not now Lizzie. I don't think I would be able to look at you right now." Lizzie's heart jumped out of her chest. He hurt her, and at the time she needed him most. Lizzie dropped her cell phone to the ground and began crying. Miranda picked it up.
"Gordo what the hell did you tell her?"
There was no answer. Gordo had hung up.
"Lizzie, what did he tell you?" Miranda asked, more calmly than when she had asked Gordo.
"He said he doesn't think he would be able to look at me right now." Lizzie sobs softened.
"Oh that little. Lizzie where is he?"
"He's at the park. Why?"
"Do you think you'll be okay by yourself for a few minutes?" Miranda asked her, making sure it was okay before she left.
Lizzie shook her head. "Yeah, yeah I'll be okay."
"Ok, I'll be back in a few." Miranda jumped from the swinging bench and into her car, and drove to the park where she found Gordo still sitting on a swing.
Miranda got out of her car with her fists clenched she walked up to Gordo and when he stood up to agknowledge her she slapped him.
"What the!" He yelled, but then realized why she had done what she did. "I guess I deserved that didn't I?"
"Damn right and if I should say I think you deserve another one. But I'll spare you one," Miranda had cooled off a little and now spoke in a calmer voice. "Gordo why'd you do that to her?"
"Miranda like you don't know! You wanted just as much as I did to get out of there and spare yourself from the hurt! I'm just the one that took the action." Gordo explained. But to Miranda, that was not the right thing to say.
"Like hell I wanted to get out of there! You're talking about sparing YOURSELF from the hurt! How about sparing LIZZIE from the hurt! You know, the girl who got RAPED and IS going to die. Whether we like it or not." Miranda sat down on a swing next to Gordo.
"I know, I know. It's just, when I see her, it just reminds me of what's going to happen." Gordo held his head down. "I'm selfish. I'm a selfish jerk. I'm putting my own feeling before Lizzie's and hers are what matters right now."
"Now there's the Gordo we all know and love." Miranda smiled and Gordo smiled back.
"I really hurt her didn't I?" Gordo asked.
"Yeah, you did. Enough to make her cry." Gordo's heart broke over this. Never once in his life had he made Lizzie cry.
"Wanna give me a ride back to her place?" Gordo asked.
"Yeah, I'm going back there anyway so let's go." Miranda and Gordo got into Miranda's car and drove to Lizzie's. When they got there, Lizzie was still sitting on her porch, blankly staring at the starlit sky.
When she noticed that Gordo was there she jumped. Lizzie just sat there silent and Gordo shoved his hands in his pockets and swayed back and forth, rolling on the bottom of his heels.
"Lizzie I'm sorry," He said. "I shoudn't have said what I did."
"I'm sorry, but I don't think I can look at you right now." Lizzie got up to walk inside but he called to her again.
"Lizzie! I'm sorry. I put my own feeling before yours and I shoudn't have done that. Right now, yours come first." Lizzie stood there, her back facing him. She din't know what to do. If she kept walking, she'd have to confront her parents, but if she turned around, she'd have to confront Gordo. Which was worse?
She turned around.
Haha!! I love keeping you guys in SUSPENCE!! Hehe, hey check my other story, it's called 'Contest'. Well, It's not really a story yet. Just check it out, you'll see what it is! R&R! -Andi
