Chapter 8
Gordo didn't show up at school at all that day. During the long bus ride home Lizzie kept imagining when she came home her parents would tell her Gordo and his mom were at the hospital . . . or worse. All the thoughts running through Lizzie's mind made her run through her front door when the bus dropped her off and run through the house searching for Gordo. She passed Matt in the hall and said to him, "Have you seen Gordo?" Matt stared at her blankly and said, "Even if I did why would I tell you?" and walked away. Lizze almost screamed and kept searching for him. he was nowhere in the house. By this time Lizzie was freaking out. She even went to Gordo's house to see if they were still there. But they weren't. His mom's car wasn't sitting in the driveway. But his dad's was so Lizzie quickly turned around and went home.
Dinner went by and Gordo and his mom were still gone. The hours seemed endless waiting to hear the frontdoor open. Finally, what Lizzie was waiting for happened. It was ten o' clock and the frontdoor opened. Lizzie jumped out of her chair in her bedroom and ran down the stairs. "Gordo!" She said quickly, "Where were you?! Why weren't you at school?"
Gordo was about to answer but he heard Lizzies parents suddenly stop talking in the kitchen, "Like you care." He mumbled and right passed Lizzie and up the stairs. Lizzie looked at Mrs. Gordon and she shrugged. Lizzie sighed and went back up stairs and into her bedroom. Soon she heard her parents say goodnight to Matt and go into their room. At midnight, Lizzie was trying to finishe her homework, she could hear the whole house quiet. She crept to her door and listened to see if anyone was in the hall. As quietly as she could she opened the door and almost screamed when she saw someone in the hallway. She opened her mouth to say something but the person put a finger to her lips and made her walk back into her room, following her in.
In the dim light of her bedroom she could finally see who the person was . . . Gordo. Lizzie whispered, "Oh my gosh, Gordo! I was so worried about you! Where were you today?"
Gordo sat down on Lizzie's bed and she followed. He looked at the floor and then at Lizzie, "Well, my mom and I went to the house to get changed and everything this morning. You already know that. When we were about to leave someone rang the doorbell. So my mom answered it and some strange man was standing there." Gordo pulled his feet on the bed and lay back on the pillows. Lizze was down by his feet, "So," he continued, "My mom hugged the guy and introduced him as Chris . . . my father! So all day today the three of us were hanging out."
Lizzie smiled thinking of what Gordo's dad must have looked like, "What do you think will happen between your mom and dad?"
Gordo sat up and said, "Well, I'm pretty sure they both still love each other . . . it's pretty obvious if you spend two minutes with them while they're together. So, I don't know. Chris is really cool and I think I'd like it if they got back together. But I don't really know him."
"Yeah." Lizzie mumbled, "You know, I was really worried about you today." She moved over on her bed so she was right next to him.
"I'm sorry. I should have called you or something." He put his arm around her.
"Yeah you should have." She smiled at him, "But it's okay. Just as long as nothingbad happened to you or your mom." Gordo leaned over and kissed her. She looked taken aback when he moved his head backward, "What was that for?"
"I don't know. For being so great."
Lizze smiled and snuggled up close to him, "Well, then . . . I like being so great." She joked. She lay her head on his chest and soon fell asleep. It seemed like she was only asleep a few seconds before she was gently shaken. "Huh?" She said sleepily.
"Kids, get up." Lizzie looked up and saw Mrs. Gordon, "Hurry up, your parents will be up soon."
Lizzie looked confused, "But . . . how did you . . ."
Mrs. Gordon smiled and said, "Gordo told me. Hurry up or your parents will find out." Lizzie sat up and woke Gordo up as Mrs. Gordon left the room. "Gordo." Lizzie said, "Get up. You have to leave."
"What? Why?" Gordo mumbled turning onto his side.
"My parents will be up soon. Hurry!" She hopped off the bed and practically dragged Gordo off and pushed him out the door. At that second the her parents doorknob turned. Lizzie hissed to Gordo, "The bathroom! Go!" Gordo hurried into the bathroom as Lizzie's parent's door opened. Lizzie quickly pulled the door cloer to her but made sure she could still see what was going on. Her dad left his room in his pajama's and bathrobe. He walked into the bathroom and closed the door. Lizzie prayed Gordo was well hidden then felt bad for him. A little bt later Lizzie's dad left the bathroom looking a little bit more awake then before. He went downstairs and Gordo walked out of the bathroom looking disgusted. Lizzie mouthed, "Sorry." And Gordo walked down the stairs shaking his head an muttering something under his breath.
