Well, the story is getting complex and sad but here we go.
Two months have passed since the events of Santa Barbara High School, day after day Gordo kept himself beside Miranda's bed.
-Come on Miranda. Lizzie still needs you. you have to wake up. you have to be OK. please.
In the loneliness of the room the boy cried holding his friend's hand, meanwhile Lizzie was in a young delinquents prison, Karla, a 16 year old girl was the only person there who tried to get her out of the eerie silence she was in since the day of the shooting, situation that resulted in the judge considering her for trial as an adult taking her silence as a rebellious act. Jo and Sam also tried to talk her back from that tomb she got herself into.
-Lizzie. you have to talk to us. it's the only way to help. -Jo said
-Please Lizzie, we know you didn't do this. but you have to help us telling us what you know if you want us to help you.
But the blond girl only stared at them, lost in her mind. That night Karla sat in front of her that night when she was helping her put her nigh clothes.
-Look, I had it, you have to come back from wherever you are, I heard what your parents said, NOW WAKE UP!!!
Karla slapped her so violently that Lizzie fell back and hit her head in the bedpost.
-Oh my God.
An hour later Lizzie opened her eyes slowly
-Miranda? Miranda is that you?
-No. but it's good to see that you finally talked
Lizzie sat and looked around, tears started to wet her cheeks.
-It wasn't a dream.
Karla hugged her.
-I didn't do it.
-We'll talk later. now let's take care of that bump.
Two days later Gordo was walking towards Miranda's room when he heard a heated argument.
-YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO HER!!!
It was Officer Chris Sanchez
-DIDN'T YOU HEAR THE DOCTOR? SHE'S NOT GOING TO WAKE UP!!!
Now it was Miranda's father.
-WHAT DOES HE KNOW?? SHE'S MY SISTER AND I'M GOING TO FIGHT FOR HER!!
-JUST LIKE WHEN YOU RAN AWAY AND LEFT HER ALONE?? -Her father replied.
Gordo walked to them.
-Who's not going to wake up?
Miranda's mother took him into the room where Miranda was.
-The doctor just told us that. the possibilities of Miranda waking up are little to none and. gave us the right to choose if we want to keep her alive.
Gordo was petrified. But not for long.
-YOU CAN'T LET HER DIE!!! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? IF SHE DIES LIZZIE WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE!!!
Miranda's mother just glared at him, Gordo had his eyes filled with tears
-Please. don't. she's my friend. She'll wake up. I'm sure.
Miranda's mother walked out, Gordo got beside the bed.
-Come on Miranda, you can't leave, you can't leave Lizzie. you can't leave any of us, I know you can hear me, just wake up!!! Wake up!!
After seeing Gordo's reaction and then when Jo and Sam talked to them Miranda's parents agreed to give Miranda one more week. Meanwhile Lizzie was presented to the jury and the prosecutor was first to interrogate her.
-What was your relationship with Miss Sanchez?
-She's my best friend.
-Is it not true that you deliberately ignored that she had an anorexia problem sometime ago?
-NO!!! I tried to help her!!
-According to our records you knew something was wrong with her but remained silent even though she passed out in your living room.
-I.
-So, she was in a life-threatening situation and you just let her be and waited to see what happened, maybe with the intention that she indeed die.
-NO!!! SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND!!! I WOULD NEVER DO ANY HARM TO HER!!!
-Miss McGuire are you aware that the gun who fired the bullets that hit Miss Sanchez has your finger prints on it?
Lizzie glared in shock as the Prosecutor presented the gun. All she could do was cry silently as she heard the Prosecutor tell the jury the version he had of the situation, version that presented her as a crazed envious girl who shot Miranda and held Gordo hostage.
-And so, I ask you, let's make an example of this girl and let's show others like her that violence only leads to jail.
-Now the defense can present his witnesses.
-Your honor, we're still unable to get witnesses, the defense asks for a pause on the trial.
-I can only give you 24 hours to produce a witness or you'll have to present your case to the jury. -The judge replied
Lizzie's attorney knew that without a witness the possibilities of winning the case were minimal she just glared at a very sad Lizzie. In the hospital Chris is beside Miranda, suddenly she got up as the unexpected happened and ran out to get a doctor. Later that day when Gordo arrived to the hospital he went to see how Miranda was, when he entered the room he felt the world collapse around him as he saw Miranda's bed empty.
