Chapter 9: Promises of the heart
Everyone broke down into tears. Lizzie was gone, and no-one could bring her back. Jo had passed out from the shock of her only daughter being dead, and Sam was trying to bring her round,and Matt and Miranda were embracing each each. As for Gordo he was dumbstruck, he felt like his heart had been wrenched from his chest, that his insides were twisting and turning, and that his whole world had just been turned upside down. Still nobody spoke, no-one had the courage too, the doctor himself wasn't expecting this silence and refrain form voices so he spoke. " If you would like to see her, she's in room 212!"
Doctor Regent waited a few more moments and still there was the deadly calm of silence, he turned to leave but came to a hult when Gordo spoke." Can i see her? I would like too, i need to tell her something, even if she can't hear it!" Doctor Regent lead the way, they came to room 212, Gordo paused then went in.
The room was filled with machines, Lizzie's form lay in the bed, motionless, apart from the rise and falls of her chest made by the machine. Gordo walked over to her bedside, he sat down and took her hand. "You look like your asleep angel! Oh god Lizzie how am i ment to go on? I knew what your fears were my darling, but i swear to you Liz, as long as i live i'll never forget you!" Gordo sat with Lizzie for what seemed like days, he sat there contemplating on all the things he and Lizzie had done together.
..................Flashback.....................
Two, four year olds, were playing in the park (Jo McGuire and Roberta Gordon watching over them). The two children were content with playing in the sand box, when a little girl came over to play. "Hi i'm Katie, who are you?"
"Hi, I'm Gordo and this is Lizzie, she's my best friend!" Without realizing what he was doing Gordo completely forgot about Lizzie, Lizzie was upset at this and decided to go and play somewhere else. That's when it happened, she saw her chance to play in the older childrens treehouse. Lizzie looked at her mother who was too busy having a conversation, and up the ladder Lizzie went!
"Gordo where did your friend go?"Gordo looked round to find Lizzie gone and began to panic, even more so when he spotted her going up the ladder to the treehouse! Gordo ran over and started to climb himself. When he reached the top he found Lizzie crying, thinking she was hurt, he came over and asked "Are you okay?"
"Go away!"
"No, why i didn't do anything!"
"Yes, you did! Katie came over and you forgot i was there! You forgot all about me!"cried Lizzie.Gordo walks over, and hugs her." I could never forget you! I love you Lizzie, Katie doesn't understand that your my best friend, and you are you know! And i promise i will never in a million years forget you!"
Lizzie seemed satisfied with this because she got up off of the floor gave Gordo a quick peck on the cheek and said "Lets het down from here, it's too high up and scary!"
"Okay!"replied Gordo with a gorgous goofy grin.Gordo and Lizzie got down from the treehouse and went back to the sandbox, but unknowing to them Jo McGuire had seen everything and muttered to her friend"I have a feeling they're be friends forever!"
......................End Flashback..................
Gordo remembered making the promise to Lizzie when they were four, he had always kept his promise to her and he wasn't going to break it now, after all a promise from the heart, means more than all other promises.
