The cab pulled up in front of my house and I payed the cab driver, dried my
eyes and got out and quietly let myself into the house and out again
through the back door and sat down on one of our lawn chairs and tried not
to cry. It's extremely hard to do when that's all you want to do. Make
sense? Didn't think so.
No longer had I been sitting there and Matt came outside. I tried to hide my face from him and he noticed.
"Hey Lizzie, I know you're ugly, you don't have to hide your face from me, I'm actually quite used to it."
Well. That certainly didn't help matters. I just ended up in tears again. Matt looked horrified.
"Hey Lizzie, I'm sorry.I didn't mean.I." He came and sat next to me and rubbed me gently on the back.
"What happened?"
Two simples words but yet I could be here all night trying to explain their meaning.
"I.Gordo and Miranda.secrets."
Oh well done McGuire. Very coherent.
"You're gonna have to evaluate Lizzie. Gordo, Miranda and secrets is beginning to make me think that Gordo and Miranda are seeing each other and they kept it a secret and you found out.somehow. Now I really doubt that that is the case, so you wanna explain it all to me?"
"Oh.My.God. You could be right. It all makes sense.my friends are.oh EW. My boyfriend and my best friend. It adds up, the whispering, the looks they give each other.Oh god."
I stood up and ran to my room and locked the door so no one could get it and flung myself down on my bed and cried as hard as I could. It all fits into place now. I just don't know how they could do that to me. They'd never shown any feelings other than friendship ones for each other.had they? Maybe I had just been to blind to see it. Why hadn't they just told me that they liked each other? I wouldn't have stood in the way, I really wouldn't have. Its just.urgh. How could they do this? I don't believe it. I mean, sure it all makes sense, but I refuse to believe it.
"Lizzie?" I looked up to see Matt standing in the doorway to the bathroom. He was grinning at me slightly.
"If you're going to lock people out, you should remember that you have to entrances to your bedroom. Can I come in?"
I nodded and he entered. He sat down on the end of my bed as I was occupying most of it.
"For what it's worth, I really don't think what you said out there is true. Why would they do that to you? After you saying how happy you and Gordo are together, I can't see how it would be possible. And from what Gordo said to me the other day, there's no way he would hurt you, not intentionally anyway."
"What do you mean when you were talking to him the other day?" My mind had gone temporarily blank.
"When you were talking to Melina he was trying to calm me down and he just mentioned how much he cared about you and how he'd never hurt you because he loves you so much and that he couldn't bare to loose you. That.urgh. "You're his everything." That's way too mushy for me thank you very much!"
I looked at Matt and I'm sure that my mouth was hanging open in shock.
"He said that? Gordo.?"
"No Lizzie. I'm Matt. Gordo is your boyfriend/best friend."
I smiled at him sarcastically. I dried my tears for the second time that day and sat up on my bed so I could look at him properly.
"He really said those things about me? Me. Plain old Lizzie McGuire." I was in shock to say the least.
"Somehow, I don't think you're "Plain old Lizzie McGuire" to Gordo." Still in shock, Matt isn't sensitive.
"Wait a minute. You said.he loves me?! He actually used the "L" word? You better not be lying Matt, I swear to god if you are." "Trust me Liz, I wouldn't lie about something that big. He said it all right. How many times do I have to tell you?" Matt was beginning to loose his sensitivity, I could tell.
Just to annoy him, I leaned over and hugged him tightly around the middle.
"Thanks Matt, that's just what I needed to hear."
"No problem, sis." He hugged me back quickly and left the room. But as he got to the door way he turned back to me and smiled.
"You going to be ok now?"
"Yeah, I think so." I smiled weakly at him and I stood up and went to the bathroom to wash my face. Just as I finished I heard the phone ring. I ran out to answer it. Not thinking for a second about who it could be.
"Hello?"
"Hi. Lizzie, it's Miranda. Please don't hang up. Can I come over, I need to talk to you."
"I really don't want-"
"Please Lizzie! It's important."
I sighed into the receiver.
"Fine. See you when you get here."
I hung up without waiting for a reply. For people who are supposed to be my friends, they are really dragging me through hell and back.

And there you have it folks, Chapter 11. Thanks to all those precious people out there who are reviewing my story. I got so excited this morning: My email alert thingo popped up saying that I had 12 emails, it had me thinking "Ohh! Lots of reviews for me!" Anywho, I opened it up and what did I find? Only about 8 junk emails! Lol. Serves me right for getting excited. Still, I had 4 reviews. So everythings fine. Let me know what you thought of this chapter by clicking the little review button down there to your left.
Thanks again!
