Later that morning, Lizzie starts to feel a little bored. So she decides to call her friends Gordo and Miranda to see if they want to come over. She calls Miranda, then Gordo on 3-way like they usually do so they can all talk at the same time.
"Hey, do you guys want to come over?", asks Lizzie, "I've go the house to myself and I could really use the company."
"Sorry, Lizzie. I have a dentist appointment a little later on", explains Miranda.
"Well, what about you Gordo?"
"Sure. I'll be over in a few minutes", said Gordo not wanting to sound too excited about the fact that he would be alone with Lizzie.
"Cool"
"Hey, I'll call you later okay", added Miranda.
"Okay, bye."
Gordo was very excited about going over to Lizzie's, even though he's been there a million times before. He and Lizzie have known each other their whole lives. They have been best friends for as long as each one could remember. But this wasn't why Gordo was so excited. You see, Gordo was completely in love with Lizzie. He's felt this way for well over a year and a half now. Although he felt this way, he could never get the nerve to tell her just how he really feels. Lizzie already knows that Gordo likes her as more than just a friend, but she doesn't suspect just how severe his love for her really is. Lizzie on the other hand does like Gordo a lot, and cares for him deeply, but just can't seem to picture herself romantically involved with him.
Meanwhile, Lizzie is flipping through channels on the TV when she comes across something that catches her attention. She saw a girl on TV that looks a lot like herself, except for the fact this girl was a brunette. It was Isabella, an Italian pop-star. Lizzie knew all about her. She had met her a year ago on a school trip to Rome. The events of that trip made Lizzie realize just how special Gordo really was. Lizzie even kissed Gordo then, and they appeared to be on the verge of becoming a couple. Unfortunately, after the trip, Gordo spent the rest of the summer traveling the country with his Grandma Ruth, just like he promised her he got back, things felt a little awkward between them, and they never really spoke of the kiss again.
Gordo arrived at the McGuire house and lets himself in. He finds Lizzie on the couch watching TV.
"Hey Lizzie," said Gordo as he sat himself next to her.
"Thanks for coming Gordo. Hey, look who's on TV", said Lizzie referring to Isabella.
"Oh it's Isabella. It's good to see that she's still doing well."
Seeing Isabella on TV immediately makes Gordo start thinking about Rome again and the time he and Lizzie kissed. A big smile comes out of Gordo.
"What are you smiling at?", asked Lizzie.
"Huh? Oh nothing", lied Gordo.
"Hey, guess what?, asked Lizzie excitedly.
"What"
"Just thirteen more days until my sixteenth birthday and I'll be able to get my license!"
"Yeah, I know. You've only been counting down the day's for like the past month.", said Gordo, "So, how's you'd driving coming along?"
"Really good actually, although my dad won't admit it."
Lizzie jumps to her feet with excitement.
"I have a really great idea!", said Lizzie, "I want to show you how good a driver I am"
"What? No, you can't take your mom's car without permission, especially without a license", said Gordo with a worried face
"Come on Gordo! It would be really quick. I'm really good. My parents won't even know about it."
"I really don't think we should. I mean, what if something happens", said Gordo
"Nothings going to happen Gordo!", pleaded Lizzie.
"Sorry Lizzie. I don't want you getting into any trouble."
"Pleeeease, Gordo", said Lizzie in a seductive way. "Pleeease"
"Oh, okay."
"Trust me, I'm really good. Nothing's going to happen.", said Lizzie while she goes get the carkeys.
Gordo was still pretty worried about the whole thing. He could never resist saying no to Lizzie though. The two get into the car and pull slowly out of the drive way. Amazingly enough, Lizzie seems to know what she's doing.
"Wow. You know, I have to admit, you do drive really well."
"And you doubted me."
Lizzie starts flipping through the radio stations while they approach an intersection.
"Ugh!", grunted Lizzie, "I hate it when there's not any good songs o-"
CRASH! At that moment their car gets hit ferociously by another car. A weak, dazzled Lizzie is still in shock and is not quiet sure what happened. Her vision is somewhat blurred as she looks over to Gordo.
"Gordo, are you alright", asked Lizzie weakly.
Lizzie starts to panic as he does not answer back.
"Gordo!"
Terrified she leans closer to him and finds something she could never have imagined. Gordo was dead.
"Hey, do you guys want to come over?", asks Lizzie, "I've go the house to myself and I could really use the company."
"Sorry, Lizzie. I have a dentist appointment a little later on", explains Miranda.
