Chapter 2
Who is That?
* * *
Doctors continued to keep a close eye on Gordo as the days passed on. They wanted to see if he had any bruising or blood clots on his brain. 2 days after his accident to the 22nd, he was okayed to move out if the ICU ward. Once he had his own room friends and families were able to drop by. Cards, flowers and stuffed animals started to fill the room. Lizzie spent her days and most of her nights at the hospital. Her parents had come by and forced her home twice now. The nurses had over looked her sleeping in his room and had an extra blanket and pillow brought in. Over the past days Gordo looked much better. The bandages that bound his hair away had been replaced with smaller ones, and color had returned to his face. If you could ignore the face of the IV in his arm and the gray steel of the bed, one could have guessed he was sleeping at home.
After spending some time at home, catching up on sleep, showering grabbing clothes and opening presents with her family, Lizzie found herself spending the rest of Christmas Day in room 673. She gently pushed the door open and peeked into the room. Every time she walked in, she hoped that maybe this time he'd wake up, take her into his arms, plant kis.'Stop it!' Lizzie saw him still in the same spot he was when she left. Giving a small sigh, she walked into the room, dropped a bag with a change of clothing on the floor and moved over to the bed. She sat on the side of the bed and took his hand. Leaning over she placed a light kiss on his lips and brushed his hair back from his face.
"Hey you, I'm back," She whispered in his ear. "I came back as soon as I could, but mom wanted to open presents and stuff. You look so much better!" she moved away from him and grabbed her bag from the floor. She pulled out a book, and sat back on the bed with him. She flipped the book open and asked "and where were we? Oh ya! 'Prince Charming stormed into his father's court. 'Dad, you need to take me off these Slay and Rescue missions, .'"
Later that night, as the nurse were checking that the patients were sleeping, Lizzie was found lying next to Gordo on the bed, book in hand.

'Uhh, where am I?' He tried to lift his hand only to find it pined to the bed.
"Stop moving David, go back to sleep." he felt a warm body shift closer to him, and an arm being thrown over his chest. The person seemed to settle back down again. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. Even though the room was dark he could see in the shadows the outline of cards and flowers that covered every horazlai surface. Looking down to the warm body that was using his chest for a pillow, his breath caught. Lying on top of him was a golden haired angel. Light from the moon had snuck though the curtain and was shining on he, giving her a glow. Using his other hand he reached out to touch her, to see if she was real. Her hair was soft to touch, and he ran his hand along her face. She gave a small smile.
"Not right now David," she mummered lifting her head a little, moving to his touch, "it's been a long day." Suddenly a thought hit her, and her eyes popped open. "David?" She turned her head and met his eyes. They were the bluest eyes he had ever seen. At least he thought. "David! I can't believe this!" She threw her arms around him and proceeded to hug and plant kisses all over his face. He could feel her fumbling for something behind his bed and heard a quiet beeping. She worked her way off him and onto the floor. A nurse came bustling in.
"Is something wron." she noticed he was siting up in bed, with his eyes open and looking around. Snapping into full-wide-awake nurse mode, she started grabbing charts and equipment from the near by tables. "Ms.McGurie, I think you should call his parents and tell them."
The girl looked to the nurse to voice her compliant against leaving, but the nurse insisted that she go. The girl planted one more kiss on his lips (much to his enjoyment), and left the room with a promise to be back soon.
As soon as the girl had left the room, he asked "Who was that?"
The nurse stopped writing in chart and turned to look at him. "Ex- excuse me? What did you just say?"
"Who was that? Does she work here?" He looked at the nurse. "And why am I here? And as long as I'm asking questions, who is David?"

Lizzie ran down the hallway to the payphones near the elevators. After finding a quarter hiding deep in her pocket, she jammed it into the machine and quickly dialed the phone number that she knew as well as her own. She glanced at the phone beside her and read 4:20. She figured that the Gordons would probity still be in bed but she figured that this was too important for her not to call and wake them up. The phone continued to ring. She heard a click on the other end and Mr. Gordon's groggy reply.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Gordon! It's Lizzie! He just woke up!" Lizzie could hear the click of a light being turned on and the shuffle of sheets.
"What?! Okay we'll be down there in a second."
After saying good bye to the Gordons, Lizzie raced back to Gordo's room. She couldn't believe it. This was the best Christmas present ever!
* * *
Nurse Sarah Birkin began to ask Gordo a list of questions. Did he remember anything? How far back? Did he remember his childhood? Anything about the accident? She ran though the list, all of them answered no. Quickly taking note of the negative responses, she made a quick call for the doctor to come in. Lizzie quickly came back into the room, and went straight over to Gordo's bed.
"Oh David, I've been soo worried!" she gave him a hug and started to whisper into his ear. Gordo gave a quick look over to Sarah and wrapped his arms around her. Sarah quickly went over to Lizzie and placed her arms on Lizzie's shoulders.
"The doctor's going to be here in a minute, we should go." Sarah tried to take the girl from the room.
"But he just woke up, can't I stay?" Sarah was so tempted to let her stay but she couldn't let him ask her who she was. Sarah wasn't sure what she was supposed to tell him. So she had called the on call doctor. Now she had to explain to his girlfriend why he wouldn't remember. One late night Lizzie had talked to Sarah about how they had meet. She had learned that they had known each other since they could both cry. To be so close to a person who couldn't remember that kind of relationship would be hard no her.
"The doctor has to ask him some questions, more personal ones." Sarah hoped that the girl would calm down and be led out of the room. Lizzie took one more look at Gordo and finally let herself be lead out of the room.
* * *
Waiting outside Gordo's room, Lizzie sat wondering why she needed to leave. Gordo was her best friend, he was closer than that. She knew that they would always be together, even though they were attending different schools in the fall. Lizzie hadn't told anyone that Gordo had already asked her to marry him. There was no ring, not even the formal proposing phase, but they already had promised themselves to each other. Lizzie heard a ding and the whoosh of the elevator doors opening. Gordo parents rushed out.
"Lizzie!" Mrs.Gordon fell into the seat next to her. Her eyes were still puffy from sleep and her hair had been swept up into a quick ponytail. "What's happing, what's the news?"
Lizzie faced the Gordon's and began to tell of Gordo first minutes back in the world.
