Disclaimer: A lot has happened since yesterday, but I still don't own these characters.
"Yeah, best friends." Feeling rejected, Lizzie got up, and left the park. She walked home silently, and quickly ran up to her room. The moment she shut the door she threw herself onto her bed and started crying. Blindly, she reached for Mr. Snuggles, but was surprised when she touched something warm. Jumping up she looked over and was shocked to see Gordo sitting on her bed.
"I was afraid to say anything when I came in here. Sorry if I scared you."
"Gordo? What are you doing here? I can't believe you followed me." She quickly tried to wipe the tears and ruined makeup from her face. "I must look horrible."
"You look great. You always look great. You're beautiful."
"If I'm beautiful, why don't you love me?"
"Lizzie, that is so superficial. You know I could never love anyone because of looks." Lizzie clutched her pig to her chest, using it as a shield. She didn't know how she was going to be able to make it through this conversation.
"So, my personality isn't enough for you anymore?" She asked quietly, looking down.
"You're personality is great, Lizzie. You just really surprised me at the park. I don't think I'd be able to take it if you hurt me again, Lizzie."
"I didn't hurt you, Gordo. You just hurt me."
"Oh, Lizzie. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just needed to make sure we would never stop being best friends before we could try to be more. Losing you sophomore year was so hard, but we were still friends. If I lost you as my best friend, I don't know what I'd do."
Lizzie, still a little afraid of what she'd see, took the chance and looked into Gordo's eyes. "What do you mean by that, Gordo?"
"I love you, Lizzie McGuire. I have for years." Gordo leaned over and lightly kissed Lizzie on the lips.
