The Perfect Night?
Chapter 1
18 year old David Gordon gripped the steering wheel as he drove over to his best friend, Lizzie McGuire's, house. Lizzie had just called and sounded upset. He had been at his girlfriend of two years, Emily's house studying for their finals. But Lizzie had begged him to come over so he promised Emily he'd be back and there he was. He pulled up in front of the mailbox and hopped out. The house was dark except for a light shining from the kitchen window. Gordo rang the doorbell. The door swung open almost immediately and Lizzie stood there with tears streaming down her face.
"Lizzie! What's wrong?" Gordo asked her holding her at arms length away.
"Gordo. . .Ryan. . .He broke up with me." Lizzie started crying even more and Gordo took a deep breath. Ryan was Lizzie's fiancé. "Not anymore" Gordo thought.
"What happened Lizzie?" Gordo embraced her in a hug and they moved inside.
"He said. . .There was. . .some. . and. . .he wanted. . .to be with. . .and. ..then. . .nerve. . .to ask for. . .ring. . .UGH!" Lizzie sobbed into his shoulder. Gordo stroked her back and sat her down on the couch.
"Okay now what?" Gordo smiled as he pushed the bangs out from her eyes and tucked them behind her ears.
"He told me there was another girl, and that he wanted to marry her. And then he had the nerve to ask for the ring back! I threw it at his head. He apologized and left. Gordo I am such an IDIOT!" Lizzie's eyes filled up with tears again.
"No, Lizzie, He is the idiot. You are a beautiful girl, amazing, special, perfect. . .He was just too blind to see it. Lizzie, It's going to be okay. . .everything will work out." Gordo pulled her into a hug again.
"I thought he was the one. I thought we'd have kids and spend our lives together." Lizzie looked into Gordo's eyes.
"And you will one of these days. Some guy will come along. . .and he'll treat you like a princess. The way you should be treated." Gordo smiled at her. Lizzie smiled back.
"You are such a good friend Gordo. Thank you." Lizzie wiped away the tears and stood up. "Sorry to interrupt your date with Emily."
"No problem. . .anything for you." Gordo wiped another tear away and walked towards the door. "You'd better get to bed. Aren't you and Miranda going shopping for prom dresses tomorrow after school?"
"I guess not anymore. I don't have a date." Lizzie looked away.
"Lizzie. . ."
"I'm okay Gordo."
"Are you sure? Cause I could call Emily and I could stay here."
"That's okay. I'm fine." Lizzie flashed him a quick smile.
"Okay. . .I'm leaving. . .LAST CHANCE!"
"Go on." Gordo ran back to her and hugged her one last time before leaving.
"Bye!" Lizzie shouted out the door. "He is so sweet." Lizzie thought as she watched him drive away.
"Miranda, I don't think this is a good idea. It's just going to make me miss Ryan." Lizzie said as she flipped through a rack of formal gowns.
"Come one Lizzie! I told you I'd find you a date!" Miranda gazed over at her distraught friend.
"I don't want a date." Lizzie sat down in a nearby chair.
"Lizzie. Ryan was a total jerk for letting you get away. He is going to regret it. Trust me. . .He'll come crawling back when Kate dumps him."
"WHAT?" Lizzie screamed.
"What?" Miranda asked.
"KATE? AS IN KATE SANDERS. . .MARRYING RYAN?!?!" Lizzie ran to Miranda and shook her.
"Yeah! I thought you knew! Lizzie I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to tell you like that, I thought you knew it was Kate!" Miranda grabbed for words. She saw the tears well up in her best friends eyes.
"No. . .I didn't know." Lizzie dropped the dress she was holding and started to exit the store.
"Where are you going?" Miranda yelled after her, but Lizzie was already gone.
Lizzie walked up to Gordo's front door. She knocked gently and waited. When nobody answered she knocked harder. Finally the door opened and Gordo stood there in his boxers.
"Lizzie!?!"
"Gordo!" Lizzie looked away blushing.
"Gordo, who is there?" Lizzie heard from behind Gordo.
"It's just Lizzie." Gordo said and for some reason not being able to tear his eyes off his best friend. The door swung open farther and Emily stepped out in a satin robe that was tied loosely. Lizzie looked away again.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to catch you at a bad time. Have fun. . ." Lizzie turned to walk away.
"No! Lizzie come back."
"Let her Gordo." Emily wrapped her arms around Gordo's waist.
"No! Lizzie come here." Gordo walked to meet her. Emily stood back and rolled her eyes.
"What's the matter?" Gordo brushed away her hair.
"Gordo? Is this going to take long? I have somewhere to be at 4:00 and if you don't want to "play" now I'll leave. You already spend too much time with that bitch as it is. So who's its going to be? Me or Her?" Emily stared over at Lizzie then looked back at Gordo.
"Lizzie. Hands down. I couldn't ever be with anyone who called my best friend in the entire world a bitch." And with that Emily left the two laughing on the porch.
