Chapter 8- You're Still In My Heart, But I Never Knew It 'Til Now

"Time after time, we'll stay together. We'll try to work out our differences, and not get in fights." Those words were sung by Lizzie, and I realize that we didn't work out our differences, got in a huge fight, and got separated.

I don't know how, but I miss Lizzie. I miss how we would laugh at each other jokes. Heck, I miss every thing about her. Now, we can't laugh at each other jokes, because we've got our backs turned and won't even look at each other.

I remember this one time when we were about eighteen or nineteen.

I was driving, and Lizzie was in the passenger seat. We came to a stoplight that took forever to change. I leaned over and gave her a kiss on the lips. She kissed me back. We kept kissing deeper and deeper when a truck beeped. They tried to stop, but didn't. The tires on the truck were squealing like a pig. They had spun around on the road, and bang! They had crashed right into the passenger side, and Lizzie fell headfirst onto the dashboard.

I just started to cry, and shout her name. I was scared. Scared of losing her, my one and only love.

I pulled back from her, picked up my cell phone and called her parents. I'd told them what had happened, and they just started bawling.

Lizzie's parents came and got Lizzie and I. We rushed to the hospital. The doctors had just taken her in. I just sat there with tears in my eyes, worrying about her. Will she be all right? Why did this ever happen? Why? All those questions I could think of were racing inside my head.

While in the waiting room, Matt told us the time when he and she got handcuffed together. I don't know if I was there that time, but I really like when Lizzie stood up to the bully who picked on Matt. She's a good sister, friend, and a good wife. I love her. I need her. I need her to comfort me. I need her to steer me in the right direction. I just need her. I miss her. These feelings I am having about her are so heart pounding.

By the time Miranda showed up, the doctor came out and said I could see her now.

I walked in her room. I saw that the monitor was going very slowly. Tears filled my eyes. I walked over and held her hand. I said slowly, "Lizzie, I don't know if you could hear me. I love you. Please stay with me forever." Tears fell from my eyes and onto her hand I was holding.

I was silent for the past five minutes until I heard a cough. "Lizzie, was that you?" No answer. Then I asked again, "Lizzie, was the you?"

Lizzie barely opened her eyes, and began to speak, but her voice was hoarse. "Why. I. here?"

"Kind of a long story. Just rest, and I'll be right here beside you." I tried to comfort her. I was so glad that she was all right. I don't know what would I do without her.

Gordo was still daydreaming, until Todd had waved his hand in front of his face. "Are you okay?"

"Huh? Yeah, but I've got to go." Gordo got up off the bench.

"Why?"

"Because, I have some thinking to do." Gordo replied as he kissed his son on the head, and started to head off, but was stopped by a voice. "Gordo."

Gordo turned around and couldn't believe who he'd seen. "Lizzie."

"Gordo, I need to talk with you in private."

Gordo shrugged his shoulders and walked to her. She had taken him inside the pizza place. They stood about five inches away from each other. The first person that'd said something was Gordo. "L-lizzie."

"Gordo, I have something to tell you."

Todd peaked his head inside the door, and listened to them.

"I-I- missed you," she cried. "For so long!"

Todd could not believe what he had heard. He started to tear up.

Gordo stood quietly, then said a few seconds later, "I-I-I- had missed you too." He started to cry.

They came closer to each other, and Lizzie held Gordo's hand. It was like they had met all over again, and the second time they had loved each other again.

Gordo smiled. "Lizzie, I have something to ask you." He sighed, and gulped, "Would you marry me again?"

Lizzie was shocked. "S-s-sure!" She smiled, then leaned toward Gordo, put her arms around him and gave him a slow kiss on the lips. Gordo kissed her back.

Todd had a big smile on his face, 'cause he knew that his parents made his dream come true; that is getting back together.

Todd, that is thirteen years old--- I am glad that my Mom and Dad got back together. I have two parents who love each other again I don't know what I would do without them being a couple again.
