Standard disclaimer, I don't own Lizzie McGuire or any of the Disney characters here, I just like the show and because I liked it so much, I decided to write a story based on it, so if Disney type people read this, please understand I wrote it because I think your characters are great and I love your work so don't sue me.

Chapter 1 - Moving Day

"Tell Her!" the voice in his head says.

"I can't!" Gordo answers back audibly.

"You can't what David?" his father asks as he walks in the room.

"Nothing Dad, just talking to myself." As soon as the words left his lips, Gordo wished he could take them back. Gordo's dad was a Shrink, and there is nothing more enticing to a Shrink then to know someone talks to himself.

"And did you answer?" his father asked, shifting into Doctor mode almost immediately.

"Actually I was answering myself audibly if you must know, I was thinking that I was needing to tell someone something and answered back that I couldn't." he answered, knowing that once his dad was in Shrink mode the only way out of the conversation was to answer truthfully.

"Who did you need to say something to?" Gordo's dad asked, attempting to pry just enough information out of Gordo to understand whatever trouble he was going through.

"It was Lizzie, do we have to talk about this, it was nothing."

"Clearly you need to talk about this, that's why you were talking to yourself, what did you need to tell Lizzie that you are afraid to tell her?"

"It's not important. Do you mind Dad, I want to spend a few minutes alone in my room before I'll never see it again."

"I understand son, but don't keep things bottled up inside, let them out, you'll feel better when you do." Gordo's father smiled at his son and then walked out of the room. Gordo looked around until he saw the phone jack on the wall, he started thinking of the fact that no matter what was up, he could always open up a 3 way call with Lizzie and Miranda at the end of the day and it would always put things in perspective. Oh how he was going to miss those, once he is far away, he won't be able to talk on the phone with his 2 best friends all the time.

This thought made him sad for more reasons then one, not only was he going to miss being around his 2 best friends, he was going to miss everything about one of them. How was he going to live without seeing Lizzie's gorgeous face all the time. Oh how many times whenever he was feeling blue, he would look up at her and she would smile one of her amazing smiles and everything that was wrong in Gordo's life would for a few moments be gone. Whenever he was near Lizzie his life was perfect. He was going to miss everything about her, her smile, her hair, her perfect skin, her laugh, her charm, even her clumsiness. It was strange but the fact that she wasn't perfect made her that much more perfect in Gordo's eyes.

Yes Gordo knew it now, he was hiding it at first, and then he started feeling a crush on her, but now he knew it was love. Gordo loved Lizzie with all his heart, oh he went out on a few dates, but nobody made him feel like Lizzie did and that was strange because nothing had ever happened between them. Gordo had kissed girls on dates before but felt nothing compared to the 2 times Lizzie had kissed him. First on the day of the final class picture of middle school Lizzie had given him a friendly peck on the cheek. He felt shivers course down his spine and through every vein in his body. He had full on made out with girls on dates but it was nothing compared to this simple peck on the cheek, and then a few months later in Rome, after Lizzie's amazing adventure, Lizzie had given him a short kiss on the lips, the event was amazing to him, his muscles contracted, he saw stars, it was bliss, and it was less then a second. How could he make out for an hour with one girl and feel nothing, but a friendly short kiss caused every fiber of his being to burst with emotion? There was only one possibility, he was head over heels in love with Lizzie McGuire.

But Lizzie never did anything after that point to continue the relationship, and Gordo was still to insecure about it to instigate anything, no the 2 times Lizzie had kissed him both could have been simply friendly, Gordo needed to know, but how could he tell her....

Lizzie was standing outside Gordo's home staring at the moving truck, now packed and ready to take Gordo out of her life.

"Why can't he say it? Could Kate have been wrong? I mean I've dropped plenty of hints, I kissed him twice, why won't he tell me how he feels, if he really does feel the way Kate says he does, he would have said something, anything about it. There's only one possibility... Kate was wrong, Gordo doesn't like me as anything other then a friend, and it's too bad, because I was starting to like him, oh why couldn't Kate have just kept her big mouth shut?" Lizzie thought to herself.

Gordo walked out the door and then he saw her standing there, as was the case every time he saw her, Gordo's heart leapt up and started beating so fast that it was actually starting to hurt him. "Tell Her!" the voice was screaming in his head "No! What if she doesn't feel the same way, she might get so mad at me that she wouldn't even want to be friends with me anymore, it is going to be torture trying to live without seeing her all the time, how could I live if she hated me?" he answered back to the voice mentally before walking up to Lizzie, "Hi Lizzie."

"Hi Gordo, all packed?" she answered.

"Yeah, we are leaving in a half hour." he answered back "Tell Her!" The voice was so loud he couldn't hear his own words.

"Tell Me!" an equally loud cartoon voice was shouting in lizzie's head.

"Lizzie I....." he started but then hesitated. "Tell Her!"

"Please tell me... just say it.... I need to hear it." Lizzie's inner self pleaded.

"Lizzie I....."

"Tell Her!"
"Tell Me!"
"Tell Her!"
"Tell Me!"
"Tell Her!"
"Tell Me!"

"Lizzie I....." he looked into her eyes, they almost looked afraid of whatever he was going to say, perhaps she knew how he felt and didn't want him to say it.... "I'm really going to miss you." he finished, he had never said anything so truthful and yet such a lie in all his life.

"Is that it, come on, just say it!" the toon lizzie said, practically crying, inside Lizzie's head.

"I'm really going to miss you too Gordo."

A half hour later, Lizzie and Miranda watched Gordo drive out of their lives and off to his next big adventure.
