Behind Blue Eyes
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Last Time~
"I'm sorry!" he whispered across her mouth and pulled her in for a deeper kiss. In response to his apology, Lizzie's arms snaked around his neck and she smiled into the kiss.
It would have looked odd to any passerby, two teens wrapped in each other's arms on top of a boathouse roof in the middle of a thunderstorm, but Lizzie and Gordo had never felt better! Their body heat warmed them up and a cool breeze made them shiver against each other slightly. The rain began to stop, and the skies cleared. A rainbow stretched across the sky, it's colors brilliant and promising. Gordo pulled back gently,
"There's something that I have to show you!" he chuckled and pulled her to the far right corner. A small heart was carved into the stone; in it were four perfect words,
Lizzie and Gordo forever!
The message was forever, it was set in stone.

Chapter 5~
"I can't believe that it's this cold! In Summer!" Lizzie shivered, Gordo had wrapped a warm blanket around her and started a fire, but she was still freezing. His dog, Liz, bounded onto the velour couch next to Lizzie and placed her head in the blonde's lap. She let out a smile as a cup of steaming cocoa was handed to her. "Thanks!"
"Anytime," Gordo mumbled and sat down on the other side of Lizzie, letting her lean against him.
Gordo stroked her hair gently and they both listened to the radio. Ocean Avenue by yellowcard was playing in the background
"Did you know about Miranda's plan?" Lizzie questioned, causing the boy to stiffen and shift uncomfortably. "What was her idea?" her voice was cold, void of meaning and emotion.
Gordo let out a deep breath. He moved his arm from around Lizzie and stood up from the couch. Her eyes were betraying a mixture of hurt and anger. Gordo ran a shaky hand through his curls and let out a deep breath.
"Miranda called me shortly after I left!" he sighs. "She said she knew everything and I had better fess up! When I didn't she went into a rage saying how I would never have another chance to tell you!"
"Tell me what?" Liz questioned, tilting her head to the side. Gordo's body stiffens at her words and he ran another hand through his hair. She pouted her lips resigned to the fact that he wouldn't tell her... yet.
"Nothing! Anyways, she decided to have your parents send you here to see me so that I could fix everything. You were supposed to recognize me!" A tear silently slid down his tan cheek and it was all Lizzie could do to not fling her arms around him.
//you're mad at him remember? // She inwardly hissed and hugged one of the blue corduroy pillows to her stomach. All her self-control was eating away at her heart and she let out a quiet sob. Gordo turned, wiping away the saline, and bent to comfort his girl. Leaning down he wrapped her into a tight hug and murmured soothing words into her ear. To his surprise, Lizzie hoisted herself into his lap, crying freely into his chest. Gordo cradled her like a newborn infant and gently rocked her back and forth. Tears continued to slosh down Lizzie's cheeks and Gordo gently carried her to her room.
Lizzie fell into an uneasy stupor, tossing and turning, causing Gordo to glue his eyes to her cover-laden form. Her forehead was burning up and he knew that she shouldn't have been outside in that rainstorm. He carefully measured her temperature against his hand, not wanting to wake her with the thermometer. Gordo was good at science and soon had a guesstimate of about 102.3. It was high, and high was bad.
The street was quiet, no cars in sight. Lush, green grass surrounded the sidewalk and the new pavement fairly gleamed in the sun. Lizzie walked down the painted yellow line, hand firmly grasped in a boy's. The boy was of average height, around 5' 11" and had dark curly hair that was a flyaway mess. Just a little way down the road, the beach beckoned, the sand inviting a forbidden romp and waves daring a small kiss.
Lizzie yanked on the boy's hand and they ran towards the sandy ground, dropping onto their backs and rolling towards the water. Wind whispered dangers that the couple ignored and the fluffy, white clouds blotted out the sun, but only for a moment. The boy stood, his eyes mirroring the ocean. Twin blue orbs staring into the deep brown ones. Lizzie blushed slightly but his gaze never faltered.
"I love you!" Gordo whispered to her, wind whipping his hair into knots and tangles.
Before she could reply, the sky darkened. Black, angry clouds smothered the sun and shadows were cast over the ground. The waves began to break upon the shore, as though intent on speeding up the process of erosion. Gordo's hand slipped out of hers and he began to shift and become smaller and smaller till he was nothing but a dot on the horizon.
"NO!" Lizzie felt her scream being forced back down her throat and into her stomach where knots formed and small canyons were melded into her organ.
She had lost him. He had slipped through her grasp... again. She wouldn't get another chance...ever. She had lost the most important game of all. The game of love.
Lizzie's worried eyes opened onto darkness, so thick it was almost suffocating. That was until she realized that it was a warm fleece blanket. She felt the heat practically erupting out of her body and onto the bed. She was feeling like she was stuck in an inferno and so she threw off the covers. She struggled to sit up but her head was pounding and sweat dripped down her forehead. Gordo's eyes bored into hers and she could tell he was worried.
//Why? //
She wondered,
// It's not like I'm sick or anything! I just have a hangover! //
She nodded to herself before a thought crept back into the crevice of her mind.
//I haven't been drinking! //
"Open up!" Gordo's voice came from near her ear and the resounding sound cast spells of dizziness upon her. "Just lay down and open up!" Liz popped open her mouth and reluctantly took the thermometer under her tongue.
Gordo reached out a cool hand and brushed her bangs away from her sweaty face.
"Just as I thought!" he mumbled, removing the instrument from Liz's mouth when it beeped.
"Gordo?" Lizzie whimpered, feeling week and sick, "I thought I had lost you!" her voice trembled and almost wrenched David Gordon's heart out at it's plaintive sound.
"Liz, what are you talking about? I'm right here and I always will be! I love-" he was interrupted.
"Don't!" Lizzie wailed, tears making their own small path down the smooth skin of her cheeks.
Gordo gave her a questioning look.
"Please don't say it Gordo! I don't want you to go!"
