Dudes
where's my reviewers?? Thanx to
the one who reviewed, to the other sorry my story is such an outrage and it's
not my fault I have different views on the whole 'Lizzie and Gordo' are
destined thing, because I don't believe that's true!
How do you go onto the next line without ending up with a whopping great gap in
between? One of the many wonders of the world! Anyway back to my original
question, where are my reviewers? You've all been so good and supportive and
then you've suddenly disappeared. My story isn't really that bad is it? I know
most of the chaps at the mo are convos but that'll change soon. It really is
going somewhere and has a really good ending, eventhough it is all a bit samey
at the moment so don't let that put you off!
So plz keep r&ring if y'all are still there! (aah I said y'all! And again!)
Adios!

"Here you are guys, two lemonades – Gordo style as you ordered!" Gordo beamed as he placed the three cups onto the table. Noticing some tension in the air and the upset expression on Lizzie's face he glanced at Miranda for an answer, but worried she'd blab it all out she suddenly became very interested in a spot on the ceiling. "Okay what's going on?" he asked, he'd known Miranda for so many years now that it was easy to tell when she was lying. She looked hopefully at Lizzie who took a deep breath and bit her lip, knowing Lizzie also for so long Gordo knew that this meant she was about to tell him something big. Preparing for the worst he sat anxiously on the edge of the seat, clasping his own lemonade to stop himself from shaking.
"Gordo I want an abortion." She finally whispered. The glass in Gordo's hand cracked under his clasp and lemonade leaked all over his hand and dripped down onto the floor, but he didn't seem to notice. As the news sunk in Gordo sat in silence. "I'm sorry." Lizzie added, knowing she could never replace the months he had so far spent looking after her and getting her ready for the baby.
"But its murder Lizzie, you can't go through with it. I won't let you." He said his voice filling with a sort of urgency. Miranda glanced at her watch and gasped,
"Sorry I have to go! I have a meeting!" she squeaked, Gordo frowned, "for a erm job! So I better go… um …adios!" She gave Lizzie a one armed hug and leant across to kiss Gordo but he pulled away.
"It's okay I'll say goodbye at the door, maybe it'll give Lizzie a chance to think this through properly." He emphasised on the last sentence hoping it would change her mind. Putting down the now empty glass, he led Miranda out into the hall, "you don't have to go, I know she probably trusts me a bit more at the moment, no offence, but she'll want you here as well."
"But I do actually have a meeting and I do actually have to go," Miranda smiled, she noticed the look on Gordo's face, "Don't worry, all will reveal itself soon!" She winked and kissed him. Feeling confused Gordo watched Miranda out of the house and down the street. Shrugging he turned back to face Lizzie in the living room, expecting her to apologise for everything she said and admit to the whole idea being stupid, Gordo walked into the room fairly calm.
"Gordo don't get angry, but please let me do this. The baby is unwanted and every time I look at it all I will see is Larry and what he did to me. It won't be loved, not by me anyway. It has to go."
"Stop calling the baby it, there's a human inside you Lizzie and you're just going to get rid of it, you can't do that, it's wrong. Can't you at least go through with the birth and put it up for adoption, at least that way you're not killing an innocent child."
"No Gordo. It's my life and I don't want it ruined."
"Oh and knowing you've killed someone doesn't. I know you Liz, you're conscience is as big as the world; this won't be something you'll forget straight away."
"I don't care Gordo! I have to get rid of it, there's no one here to back me up, and I'll end up alone with a child I can't even look at."
"How can you say that? I've been here all along, you could have ended up on the streets if I hadn't taken you in, and I didn't even have to do that, I could've left you on my doorstep if I wanted. Then I never would have got dragged into this mess."
"Fine then, you have a kid you don't want and see what it feels like!"
"That could never happen. I'd never not love a child, it's what I've always wanted; a family of my own. My parents are never in to see me; I have no brothers or sisters. I want to give someone the childhood memories of 'family holidays' and 'looking up to the older sibling' that I never had."
"Well Gordo that's where you and I differ. Just because you want a family, doesn't mean I suddenly do. I'm not willing to give up everything for something I don't want. If I had this baby I need someone there for me the whole time to back me up."
"You have me; you're one of my best friends Liz I wouldn't let you go through this alone."
There was a long silence and Gordo could tell Lizzie was thinking about everything in great detail. The thought that Lizzie might agree to have the baby and that he'd be able to help develop it into a real a real person put him on such a high he didn't really take in much else of the conversation, and didn't think about what he would be promising her when he replied to Lizzie's next question.
"You promise?" She asked nervously. Gordo nodded. "Then I'll have the baby."
Beaming, Gordo pulled Lizzie into a big hug, sealing the contract he had absent-mindedly made with her, which would force him to give up a lot more than every spare minute he had.
Sorry if that ending was confusing but it'll make sense soon… I hope!
Don't go without r&ring!
