Chapter 4- There Goes My Life
This is just a little short chapter pretty much all on Gordo. I was lost for inspiration and when I heard this song, I knew it fit. It's one of my favorite songs right now. I hope you like this chapter. I know it's sort of random, but I think it works. Let me know if you like the song fiction and if my story is still going okay. Review and tell me if there is anything I can do to fix it also. Thanks!
Kenny Chesney owns the song There Goes My Life.
After seeing how everyone at school reacted to their decision, Lizzie and Gordo became even more apprehensive.
"Lizzie, I need to go think. I'll be home in a little while. Do you think you can hold down the fort for about an hour?" Gordo asked her with pleading eyes.
"Yeah, I'll call Miranda over. We'll be fine." Lizzie told him as she gently pushed him towards the door.
Gordo went to the park and sat on a swing. He watched all of the kids and parents running around him. He looked at the ground and wondered if he was really cut out for this. All he could think about was I'm too young for this. Got my whole life ahead, hell I'm just a kid myself. How am I gonna raise one?
Was he really prepared to let his future slip through his fingers? He had so much ahead of him that he would be giving up. He was so good at everything; his future was set. All he could see were his dreams goin' up in smoke. So much for ditchin' this town and hangin' out on the coast. Oh well, those plans are long gone. And he said there goes my life. There goes my future, my everything, might as well kiss it all goodbye. There goes my life.
Gordo's eyes filled up with tears as he realized what he had done. He had ruined his life and couldn't go back. He made a promise, a vow, and was determined to keep it. He closed his eyes and his life began to play in front of him. A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later, that mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator. Oh yeah, he loves that little girl. Mamas waitin' to tuck her in as she fumbles up those stairs. She smiles back at him draggin' that teddy bear. Sleep tight. Blue eyes and bouncin' curls. And he smiles. There goes my life. There goes my future, my everything, I love you, Daddy, goodnight. There goes my life.
Tears leaked through his closed eyes. He realized that this really could be a blessing in disguise. He wasn't lying when he said that he loved this little girl. He could see himself being a good father and watching Lizzie be a good mother. He may be giving up one life, but he's gaining another. After thinking about it, he understands it all. Maybe he wasn't meant to be a director and that wouldn't have worked out in the long run anyway. Maybe this is what he was meant to do and do well. After coming to this conclusion, he thought further into his life and the heartache he would have to endure later in life after making this decision.
She had that Honda loaded down
with Abercrombie clothes and 15 pairs of shoes on his American Express. He checked the oil, slammed the hood, said you're good to go. She hugged them both and headed off to the west coast. And he cried. There goes my life. There goes my future, my everything, I love you baby, goodbye. There goes my life. Baby goodbye.
He came to the conclusion that he could do this. It would all pay off in the long run. He would be happier with his decision when he realized the true meaning behind the love between a father and daughter. It's a special love that he is happy he is going to get to experience so early in life. And who knows, maybe he'll get lucky and she'll be "daddy's little girl." He realizes that life really couldn't get any better. This is the path for him and he was going to follow through and make the best of her life.
He walked back home to Lizzie and she could see that he was a much happier man and couldn't find what changed him. She watched him as he played with their new daughter and imagine what their life would be like. Little did she know that Gordo had seen it and how well everything would turn out. She could already tell things were getting better and everything was going to be okay.
I know this wasn't my best chapter, but I just wanted to get something out to you guys. I thought I captured the second-guessing of anyone who was forced to make a monumental decision. Please review and let me know if it's any good!
