Chapter Thirteen
~Gordo~
A few months later, Gordo had moved and was living in the same town as Lizzie. He hadn't found Lizzie yet, but hadn't given up at this point.
Instead of completely quitting his job, Gordo decided he would take some time off and write. At first, he planned on writing a screenplay for a movie he could possibly direct in the future, but when he began to write, the words came out as a novel, so what was supposed to become a script became a novel. It was a love story and he spent most days in his rented apartment writing. After writing about half the story in two weeks, he became stuck with an immense writer's block. After a while, he decided this break would be good for him, as in order to complete the story on paper, he had to finish it in real life.
"Someday," the novel started, "the world will make sense. Every person one meets will become one's ally and every breath one takes will be as innocent as the first. Everything said will not have an effect on everyone and actions will simply be actions. The things that are complicated in today's society will be the easiest to deal with in tomorrow's society. The thought that everyone has someone will eventually diminish and some people will be okay with being lonely. Pressure will only be a scientific term, only to be determined by the greatest minds in science. Love will be a term to describe a thought, not a true feeling.
"Yes, everything will make perfect sense one day. Everything will seem so clear and so perfect until another day, when it all goes back to the way it was. As this happens, everyone will remember what it is like to be truly loved and truly hated. And when it is least expected and when the world is most hated, someone will pose the undying question, "Can this be real?
" 'Can what be real?' another may ask, and the first person will say, 'Can life be real? Can a person really have a soul mate? Can real love always be true?' and the other person will smile, as he thinks he knows the direction you are taking the conversation, and say, 'So you're asking about love, then?' Instead of nodding his head, though, he shakes it stubbornly and says, 'No, this is just as much about life as it is love. Love is life and life is love. Aren't they the same thing?' he will say, passionately and the other person will shrug and say, 'who knows.'
"Sam Hamilton, a twenty-seven-year old journalist in California often thought of this. If he had one personal goal in his life, it was to find the answers to all his questions about life and love. He hadn't found them yet, although he thought he came close once. In fact, he put these goals in the back of his head for a few years until it came to him one morning as he was sitting at work in his cubicle. Where most other writers has pictures of their significant others and drawings made by the people they loved, Sam Hamilton had nothing. He would often stare at these walls and think of something that would cover them, but nothing came to him. It was then that he realized he had nothing. He had nothing to put on his walls and no one to fill his walls with. Perhaps the most important conclusion he came up with that day was that he needed a change in his life. . .a permanent change.
(Later chapter)
"What had Sam accomplished up until this point? What were the fundamentals that made him who he was? Why did he have so much trouble dwelling on the past when he had so much going for him in the future? All of these questions were one-word answers for Sam: Lisa.
"For the first twenty-three years of his life, Sam and Lisa were best friends. Eventually, Sam and Lisa discovered they shared a bond more powerful than friendship and decided to start dating each other. That part of their relationship lasted for over seven years. Sam thought their bond would last forever, for he loved her and thought he gave her his full heart, but apparently that wasn't enough for Lisa. Lisa eventually broke his heart and left her for another man. From that moment on, Sam knew that every kiss he shared was lost; every time they made love was forever gone, and most importantly for Sam, every aspect of their friendship was forgotten.
"Sam knew that he would never again be able to share that love with anyone else. Instead of moving forward and looking for someone to spend the rest of his life on, he focused on his career. The simple thought of Lisa made him shake, even as five years had passed. For as many emotions that he felt negatively for Lisa, the good times they had made up for it. The hardest part of their break-up for Sam was getting over Lisa and convincing himself that Lisa was only a piece of his past.
(later chapter)
"Then, five years after Lisa broke up with him and Sam finally thought he was ready to move on in his life romantically, she appeared again. After Sam earned his promotion, he got his own office and his own personal assistant. He wasn't involved with the interview part for his assistant, so when she walked in, he thought he was going to have a heart attack. There, wearing black pants and a light blue top, was Lisa. His Lisa.
(later chapter)
"The second time she ran away from him, she left him with no conclusion. He was ready to give him full heart to her again, but this time, she never even gave him the chance. This time was different, though. In the few months he was with Lisa again, not only did he rediscover his feelings for her, but also in a way, they became stronger. Sam knew that he couldn't let her run away this time. After thinking about it for a few months, Sam decided he had to find her and keep her. He wasn't going to give up until he found her and he knew that it was all a matter of knowing where to look."

~Lizzie~
The girl that worked in the Starbucks, Kelly, never figured out why Lizzie wasn't attached romantically. She always tried to get Lizzie to talk about it, but Lizzie's love life remained a shut book, and she tried to keep it as tightly shut as possible.
Kelly also tried to set Lizzie up on blind dates, which Lizzie never liked, and she always said no to Kelly, as she didn't think it was fair. Kelly also tried to invite her to places her friends would go to, and most of the time, Lizzie declined those invitations. She decided she liked the nightlife . . .in her apartment. She spent that time thinking and imagining her life. She tried to block Gordo out of her head, as she did this successfully with Ethan, but it was hard. He would pop into her head when she least expected him too and she found it rather annoying, especially when she was at work, and she found a book that reminded her of Gordo.
She still had regrets about what she did. She didn't want to run away from him, but it was too hard for her to be with him at this point. Also, she was sure that since almost a year had passed since she left, he would most definitely not want to see her.
