STUPID THINGIE STAY AND KEEP MY FIC AND A?N APART!!!!

Miranda ran out of the house into the rain hopelessly trying to shield some of it from the little girl in her arms. She placed the girl in her baby seat in her H3T then got into the drivers seat and sped off. She hated driving in the rain, especially with Davi (pronounced DAY-vee) in the car. But she refused to stay, she couldn't stay at home, that's for sure...she couldn't see how she'd ever be able to go back...but where could she go? It was late and raining but she didn't feel like going to a hotel, she couldn't stand to be alone, but where?

Miranda apprehensively raised a finger to ring Gordo's door bell, she knew he didn't like Jon, how would he react to what had happened? Aside from that it was late and he may very well be sleeping, but she had nowhere else to go. To Miranda the few seconds she spent waiting seemed an eternity , she started to doubt her decision to drive the forty miles here. She could tell the child in her arms was cold and if she was out much longer she'd get sick. She was about to turn around when the door swung open, and there stood Gordo with a some what shocked expression.

"Come in" Gordo said regaining his composure and gently pulling Miranda in to the apartment which was once theirs. 'What happened to her?' he asked himself about her state. "Um, why don't you and Devi get dried up?" he asked showing them to the room Miranda knew all too well.

Miranda gave him a great full smile as he handed her a couple of his t- shirts and some boxers for them to change into as he walked out.

Miranda walked out of the room a few minuets later and Gordo sat on the couch waiting for her.

"I put Davi to sleep." she said not knowing what else to say.

Gordo simply nodded his acknowledgement, he had no idea what to say to her. Something was wrong but what?

She went and sat next to him avoiding eye contact then she apprehensively looked up at him.

"I'm sorry I just had nowhere else to go, I.."

"Don't" Gordo cut her off, "Miranda, you can always come to me, no matter what." Something had to have happened to put her in such a state and it killed him not to know how to make it better, yet he didn't want to pry.

Without another word she burst out crying she drew her knees to her chest and put her arms around them, then she rested her head on her knees as she cried, her body shaking with sobs. Gordo instinctively put an arm around her and drew her into him. She lay there in his arms crying most of the night and slowly between sobs and out bursts she told him the story of how she came to be there.

Jon wasn't the best boy friend by far, but most of the time he was nice. After the baby came things started to get a little bit bad. But recently they'd gone from bad to worse.

He started drinking more and he started to hit her. She knew what should be done but he was her daughter's father and she couldn't stand to do it. Then that night was the last straw; he'd come home after drinking with a knife, threatening to harm her or kill her if he had to so he could kill Devi. For it seems he saw her as the cause of his trouble, she'd called the cops and he was taken away. After much questioning she was left alone with Devi, but she couldn't stand to be there everything reminded her of him. Of how he treated her and what he tried to do. So she took Devi and got in her car, she wasn't really thinking of where to go then some how she found herself here on his door step.

Gordo was furious 'how could he do this to her?!' how could someone treat her like that? Didn't he get how amazing she was? And what about Devi? Did that asshole even bother to think about her? Did he ever think about what that poor baby had to call a father? How could he ever think she was a problem? She was the sweetest child ever and she was only about two years old. The only comfort he found was thinking that Devi might be too young to remember all of this. He thanked his lucky stars that he hadn't been able to harm them. Miranda, she was finally in his arms but not the way he wanted her to be. He couldn't put her through another bad relationship. Plus that was written three years ago, she'd probably forgotten she'd ever written it.

The next morning Gordo woke up to an otherwise empty couch he got up and soon spotted Miranda she was on the floor where he'd been the day before holding the letter. As he'd suspected once he got closer he noticed she was holding the letter.

"Miranda..." he said quietly as he slowly sat next to her on the floor.

She looked up somewhat startled then gave him a weak smile. "So you saw this? I thought I'd lost it"

"Yeah"

"So, how long have you known?" she asked quietly.

"I found it yesterday"

"Oh...I guess things between us are going to change, aren't they?" she asked sadly.

Gordo looked down, so she didn't like him. Yeah, he wanted things to change but he wanted to be more than just her best friend not less. He was about to tell her that they could still be friends when it hit him. If he didn't find out for sure he'd be doing the same thing he'd done over and over again all those years, so slowly gathering courage he asked what he'd wanted to ask her ever since he found out how she'd felt. "Did you mean it?"

"What?" she asked obviously not expecting the question.

"Did you mean it? What you wrote, did you mean it?" he asked now looking her straight in the eye.

"Yes" she responded quietly then looked down.

"The part about you always loving me, was that true? Is it true now?" Now that he'd started, he had to know all of it.

"Yes, I've always loved you and I still do." she said now looking him in the eye never breaking the gaze.

Gordo looked down feeling stupider than ever, he'd let her go out with that idiot when he could have had her, but now it was too late for that. He needed to tell her how he felt before he lost her for good. He looked up at Miranda who's gaze was still upon him, then he gently reached out a hand to her left cheek, then he did what he'd only dreamt of before he kissed her. He rested his head on her forehead then whispered "I love you too Rand, I always have."
