Declaimer I do not own Lizzie McGuire
The Next morning came and it was a damp sunny day.

Lizzie got out of bed and stretched as she put on her slippers.

She then went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth, and then changed into her clothes for school.

After changing she went downstairs and saw that her parents were not in the kitchen or anywhere.

Then, Matt showed up and said "Lizzie, I've been trying to find mom and dad all morning! I don't know anywhere else to look!"

Lizzie said "Matt I just got dressed and walked downstairs. Wait why aren't you changed and ready for school?"

Matt said "Mom wasn't there to wake me up and I was still asleep and slept in!"

Lizzie looked nervous and said "Matt, you get dressed and I'll make breakfast".

Matt nodded.

While making breakfast the phone rang.

Lizzie picked it up and it was her mother.

The first thing Lizzie said was "Mom, where are you?"

Her mother just said "Lizzie, make sure your brother is dressed and ready for school and walk him to the bus stop." And she hung up.

Lizzie was a little confused and really wanted to know what was going on but she did what her mother wanted and got her brother ready.

Lizzie was finished making breakfast and called Matt to come and eat.

Matt said "Lizzie, any news about Mom or Dad?"

Lizzie said "Matt, Mom called and said to get you ready but that's it."

Matt than ate his breakfast and got his backpack and walked out the door very noisy.

"Matt stop, please." Matt then said "Lizzie, my bus."

Lizzie than ran and said "Stop!!!"

The bus stopped and Lizzie said to the bus driver "I'm sorry, my mom had to go somewhere and this morning was a bit complicated."

The bus driver looked at her and just shut the doors.

Lizzie than ran home as fast as she could and got her backpack and watched a little T.V until she had to catch her bus.

There was another call from Lizzie's mom and she finally said something "Lizzie, did you take your brother to the bus stop safe and sound?"

Lizzie said "Yes, but mom where are you and why aren't you home?"

"Sorry Lizzie, but on the way to work today your dad got in a car accident."

Lizzie said "Mom, why did Matt go to school. Why didn't you just take us to where ever you are?"

"Lizzie, your father is in the hospitable and I don't want you or your brother there when your dad is hurt."

Lizzie said "I understand" and she hung up.

Rushing to the bus stop Lizzie thought of her father and felt a single tear run down his face.

She tried not to cry and could not help it but just cry.

Finally getting on the bus, she sat next to the famous Ethan Craft.

Lizzie said "Ethan, I haven't seen you in a long time! Have you been talking to Kate lately?"

"Yah, I'm going out with her best friend Claire."

Lizzie said "Kate must be mad or at least jealous."

"Well, she has been taking it good until she hears we go out a lot and keep things private between us."

Lizzie laughed and they finally got to school.

"Lizzie!!" Miranda said while waiting with Gordo.

Lizzie caught up and Miranda said "Why were you on the bus and not taken to school by your mom?"

"My mom was at the hospitable."

"Lizzie" Gordo said.

"Why is your mother at the hospitable?"

Lizzie looked at Gordo and said sweating "My dad got in a car accident this morning."

Miranda looked at Lizzie and said "Is your dad ok?"

Lizzie nodded and said "My mom didn't tell me anymore but that."

Lizzie than went to class before being late.

While in class Brandon asked Lizzie if she wanted to the new fast food restaurant "Shake and make."

Lizzie said "Sorry Brandon but I don't know anything right now, maybe you could call later."

Then Lizzie walked back to her seat.

Miranda said "Lizzie!! You were just saying no to a date!"

Lizzie said "Miranda I'm in a really sad mood right now, I don't think I want to do anything right now."

Miranda than paid attention to the teacher and had a lesson on the body parts.

Than lunch came, Brandon sat next to Gordo which was at the table where Lizzie was and said "I'm sorry if I did something wrong but I really like you and want to get to know you better."

"I'm sorry Brandon, but my family is having a big family problem right now and until it's treated I will think about it and get back to you."

Brandon than nodded and walked back to his friends.

After lunch Gordo and Lizzie went to there next class and Lizzie sat there keeping her sadness inside but still looking normal.

After school Miranda's mom gave Lizzie a ride and Miranda's mom said "Honey, I heard about your dad. I am giving you a ride to the hospitable but first going to your house and picking up Matt."

Lizzie said "Thank you."

Then arriving at the hospitable Lizzie's mother looked at Lizzie and gave her a hug.

Lizzie said "How is dad? Is he going to be ok? Will he be home soon?"

Lizzie's mom just said "Lizzie we don't know yet but why don't you go and take your brother downstairs and get a cookie or two."

Lizzie went downstairs and was sitting and having her cookie when she heard "I need help in room 104. Sam McGuire is not breathing!"

Lizzie jumped out of her seat and ran upstairs with her brother.

Her mother said "Lizzie your father needs to stay overnight, you can say goodbye to him and we have to head home."

Lizzie said goodbye to her father and went home with her mother and brother.

Lizzie than went upstairs, did her homework and headed to bed.

But then her mother came in the room and kissed Lizzie to bed and said "Your father will be ok."

Lizzie said while crying "Mom, if dad was going to be ok than why does he have to stay overnight?"

"Don't worry Lizzie, he will be ok, and I'm making this a promise."

She then kissed Lizzie and shut the light.
