Chapter 14

Lizzie woke up the next morning with the sound of her brother making fart noises by her doorway.

" Eww, Lizzie you should really go to the bathroom," said Matt as he was holding a phone right by his mouth.

" What are you doing with the phone," Lizzie asked as she rolled her eyes at her disturbing brother.

" Oh yeah, Ronnie is on the phone," said Matt as he smiled at her.

" You little monster," Lizzie shouted as she stumbled out of her bed and towards her brother but he already dropped the phone and ran downstairs. Lizzie stopped and picked up the phone. She cleared her voice as she started to speak.

" I'm so sorry about that, Matt is such a devil," said Lizzie

" His just being a kid Lizzie," said Ronnie.

" Yeah, by embarrassing his sister with her boyfriend on the phone," said Lizzie.

" I don't see why you are embarrassed," said Ronnie.

" Never mind than, so how are you," Lizzie asked him.

" Could be better, I miss you," said Ronnie.

" I miss you too, I was going to call you in fact," said Lizzie

" Well looks like I bet you to it, so you all ready for the big dance tomorrow," Ronnie asked with a little excitement in his voice. Lizzie could tell that Ronnie wasn't up for it at all.

" Yeah I am, I mean I have you to dance with all night and a few friends to chat with, its going to be nice," Lizzie said as she began to play with her hair.

" Good than, and will there be any Miranda or Gordo at this dance," Ronnie asked.

" Probably so but don't worry, I am sure we will keep our distances from each other," said Lizzie

" Also good, well hunny bear. I am going to hang out with Zack and Mandy. I will see you tomorrow at 6pm at your house, okay" Ronnie said.

" Yeah of course, I can't wait to see you in a tux," Lizzie exclaimed as she nearly squeak her words out.

" Hun, it's just a dance. Well goodnight Liz," Ronnie said as he hung up the phone before Lizzie could say goodnight.

" Night," Lizzie said with a small sigh as she hung the phone on the receiver. She didn't know why Ronnie was acting like this all of a sudden. I mean he was always so sweet to her and now it's like all he wants to do is talk about himself and his friends , especially about Mandy. Lizzie started to head upstairs her room when the doorbell rang.

" I got it," Lizzie shouted as she ran towards the door. " Wonder who this could be" She opened it slowly and stared upon Miranda standing by the doorway.

" Hi Lizzie," Miranda said in a shaking tone in her voice. You could defiantly tell she was nervous.

" Miranda....what are you doing here," Lizzie said as she crossed her arms around her stomach.

" Lizzie, we need to talk," said Miranda

" About what," said Lizzie in a harsh tone.

" Can I come in, please," Miranda asked

" Sure, whatever," said Lizzie as she opened the door little more and stepped out of the way so Miranda could walk in. She than closed the door and turned around to face Miranda still with her arms crossed around her stomach. " So what you want to talk about?"

" I just want to... I just.. Lizzie, I want to be best friends again," said Miranda as she started to burst into tears. Lizzie suddenly felt upset like her. She uncrossed her arms and moved closer to Miranda.

" Miranda, don't cry," Lizzie said also choking on her own words. She began to sob lightly.

" Lizzie, I miss you so much and I hate that we are ignoring each other like this," said Miranda.

" I miss you too Miranda," said Lizzie as she pulled Miranda into a hug. " I hate that I couldn't talk to you"

" Same here, I just didn't have anyone to talk to about girlie stuff and I know Gordo isn't big on that stuff," Miranda said as she heard Lizzie let out a small laugh.

" No, he was never good on that," said Lizzie as she released Miranda and started to whip her tears away from her cheeks.

" So, we are good than, right," said Miranda as she started to whip her tears away also.

" Yes, we are good," said Lizzie.

" Great!," Miranda exclaimed as she than pulled Lizzie into another hug. She let go and smiled big. " I cant wait to tell Gordo"

" Wait, don't tell Gordo that we made up," Lizzie said

" Why not," Miranda asked.

" Because I am not quite happy with him yet and I don't think it would be nice to rub it in his face that we are friends again and also we need to stay away from each other at the dance," said Lizzie

" What, why," Miranda asked getting more confused.

" Because Ronnie is going to be there and he isn't too happy with you guys and he doesn't want me to be friends with you two," said Lizzie

" Lizzie, me and Gordo didn't do anything wrong to Ronnie," Miranda said as she started to get a little angry.

" Miranda, let's just not talk about this. I know the story and I don't need to go over it again. Just please if you want to continue to be friends than please just do me these two favors," said Lizzie.

" But Lizzie, what happens after the dance is over. I mean are you going to keep our friendship a secret because of some guy," said Miranda.

" He isn't just some guy, Miranda. his the love of my life and I don't want to ruin it," said Lizzie.

" So your saying you either not care that our friendship is ruined but you care if relationship with Ronnie's is ruin," Miranda said

" That's not what I am saying, I do care about our friendship Miranda, I just don't think it would be a good idea to be good friends in front of Ronnie right now," said Lizzie.

" Liz, I hate to feel this way but I really don't know you anymore and the new you just isn't want I need in a friendship," said Miranda as she walked passed Lizzie and headed out the door.

" Miranda wait," said Lizzie as she followed behind her.

" Just call me when the real you comes back but for right now, I will stay away," said Miranda as she stormed off. Lizzie watched her go and went back inside. She ran up the stairs and burst into her room. She laid down on her bed and began to cry.

" What have I become," Lizzie whispered to herself as she cried herself to sleep. She was hopefully that she could just sleep the rest of the day away.
