A/N: this is in third person so ya'll know what all the characters
are going through; since I wanted multiple POV's on the same subject I
figured this would be best. (Sorry if it sucks, I got used to POV's)
(*thoughts*)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Gordo woke up the next morning he was noticeably tired, but that was because he'd been up all night working on his plan to get Miranda back. Or maybe back wasn't the right word, because he didn't 'just' want to be her best friend. Sure there friendship meant the world to him, but he wanted to be so much more to her, as she was to him.
~*~
When Beth got home the night before, she broke down. Now the next morning she sat in her room thinking about the events of this summer, she knew that she shouldn't have manipulated Gordo like that, but she 'needed' him. How could she tell people that Larry was her baby's dad? But she had to, she had no choice. It was too late to start in on another guy, and if Gordo knew, then he might tell people that she lied if she pinned it on any other guy.
*How did I get into such a mess?* ,she asked her self. *Why did I even sleep with Larry?* ,she wondered. *You were drunk, duh!* Yeah she had been drinking, but that couldn't be it, she'd never really gotten shit faced to the point of no return.
*Could it be I 'like' Larry? NO!* But she couldn't push the thought, he'd always been nice to her, and there was that time in middle school when they'd gone out. But she hadn't wanted to then, yet why had she felt so bad when she broke up with him?
*Damn it McGuire! Don't think like that* But she knew, she 'did' like Larry, he'd liked her before she was popular, and he still liked her now, but this would take a big blow to her popularity, yet since there was no way out, she'd have to deal.
So knowing what would come soon, she walked down the stairs into the kitchen to tell her parents.
~*~
Miranda got home that day at around 1pm. After her last minuet back to school shopping, which included the usual, clothes, shoes, notebooks, not too big a deal. Upon entering the house she saw a thick red ribbon on the floor leading through the hallway, *What the.?* Curious as to what lay at the other end of this, she set her bags on the floor and followed the ribbon. When she reached the end of it she saw it was taped to her door with a note attached, she quickly read the sort note: "Press 'play' on your VCR" ,was all it said. *What?* Miranda thought, as she quickly entered the room.
She rushed over to her TV and pressed play as she was instructed, then sat down on her bed to see what this was all about.
*V*I*D*E*O*
A close up of the engraving on the tree comes into view as the opening cords of a song began, the camera zooms out then it freezes and Miranda and Gordo are inserted into the shot that it's a photograph on Gordon's night stand.
Oh...
As Marc Anthony's voice starts the camera zooms out once again to reveal that the previous shot was a framed photograph on a night stand.
I just wanted you to comfort me
When I called you late last night you see
I was fallin' into love
Yes, I was crashin' into love
As it zooms out even more you see that the photo is in Gordo's room, you see Miranda walking towards Gordo's bed where he is lying face down, then sit down next to him.
Oh of all the words you sang to me
About life, the truth and being free, yeah
You sang to me, oh how you sang to me
Next, Gordo his body face down and his head rested on his crossed arms slowly turns his face to look at Miranda, who is seated next to him stroking his hair and singing.
Girl, I live off how you make me feel
So I question all this being real
'Cause I'm not afraid to love
For the first time I'm not afraid of love
The camera zooms on Miranda's face, and when it zooms out you see Gordo and Miranda there sophomore year, watching something just below the camera which is presumably the TV, then Gordo turns and stares at Miranda while she isn't looking. The camera zooms into a black and white picture in the background.
Oh, this day seems made for you and me
And you showed me what life needs to be
Yeah, you sang to me, oh you sang to me
The black and white picture turns into a shot of there freshman year, Miranda is dancing around her kitchen singing and making food. Then she notices the camera and motions for Gordo, who is behind the camera, to join her. By the look on her face you can tell he declined, she walks towards the camera. You see a shaky picture then Miranda dragging Gordo by the hand comes into view, and she proceeds singing as she tries to show a reluctant Gordo how to dance, he messes up then after a second try, gets the hang of it after a few seconds of dancing they both crack up.
All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me
The camera zooms out of the previous shot and into the McGuire living room where it's a picture on the wall. You see Miranda seated on the couch some time during middle school, talking to Lizzie, the camera zooms in on Miranda until Lizzie is no longer visible, and then Miranda turns and looks into the camera and smiles, seemingly holding someone's gaze, the camera zooms in on her eyes.
Just to think you live inside of me
I had no idea how this could be
Now I'm crazy for your love
Can't believe I'm crazy for your love
The words you said you sang to me
And you showed me where I wanna be
Yeah you sang to me, oh you sang to me
When it zooms out you see Miranda in front of 'the tree' seated down singing looking directly at the camera, the camera closes up on her face then she turns her head in a jolting motion and all you see is her hair swaying.
All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me
When the camera zooms back out and she faces the camera again you see that it's a shot of Miranda singing at her father's funeral, then you see one tear stream down her cheek, the camera zooms in on the tear and in its reflection you see light outlines of two people.
All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me
As the camera zooms in even more, the shot gets clearer until you see Gordo and Miranda in black and white, it's the night her father left, she's looking at him with tears in her eyes then she runs to hug him. The camera zooms on Gordo's face.
All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When the camera zooms out you see Gordo sitting on his bed writing something in a notebook, he finishes then sets it down on the bed, the camera zooms on the note book so you can see what he wrote. There is a short message on the notebook written in black ink:
'Randa,
I'm sorry.
Love,
Gordo
Then the song ends and so does the video.
*E*N*D*~*V*I*D*E*O*
Miranda sat on her bed staring at the screen for a second, a tear streaming down her cheek. *Oh my god, I didn't even know he was filming half of that time, I can't believe he did that for me* ,she thought. She knew she had to call him.
Miranda tried calling Gordo, but he wasn't home. *Where could he be?* she thought as she raked her brain for possible search locations then it hit her, she jumped off the bed and ran out the door.
~*~
Beth's parent's had taken the news better than expected. While they 'did' blow up at her, they agreed that she should keep the baby, and that she should tell Larry. The rest would eventually resolve it self.
~*~
Gordo sat at the base of 'the tree' thinking about Miranda. He'd asked Mrs. Sanchez when Miranda would be out and had taken the opportunity to set everything up, but now he wondered if she'd forgive him. *God I hope she does* ,he thought as he closed his eyes and rested his head against the tree.
He sat there not wanting to go home, and feeling oddly alone in a scarcely populated park. When he felt a hand on his shoulder, he jumped a bit startled. Then he realized it was Miranda.
"So what are you doing here?" ,she asked.
"Thinking" ,he replied still looking up at her.
"About what?"
"I was an idiot and I think I could have lost my best friend and the one girl I ever truly loved. I apologized to her, but I don't know if it'll be enough." He said looking directly into her eyes.
"Well isn't that a coincidence?" ,she asked. To his confused look she responded, "You see I was looking for my best friend, to tell him I accept his apology and that I'm in love with him." She said crouching down next to Gordo.
"Really!?!" ,he asked his eyes popping out.
Miranda just nodded as she leaned in for the kiss both had wanted for so long. After the kiss, they just sat there and hugged each other for what seemed forever, "I love you so much Miranda"
"I love you too Gordo."
