Chapter 16: My heart started beating faster

POV: Gordo

"Miranda let's go check on Lizzie." Miranda looked at me as if I was crazy. "You do know that she has trouble being around you?" "Yes. I know this, but I want to see her anyways, so please let's go!" I begged hoping she would come. "Let's go, but I'm driving."

We arrived at Melina's house. I went up to the front door and knocked. "Gordo, there not here they went to the park." said Melina's mom. Before I could say my thanks, I was staring back at a closed door.

I got in the car and said, "To the park we go." On are short ride there I hoped Lizzie wouldn't get to scared.

I saw Lizzie look up and I could tell she was back to her normal clothes. "Miranda, Gordo what a surprise to see you both here." At her smiling, again my heart started beating faster.

"What brings you too the park?" "I needed a change of scenery but it was Melina who invited me, and Matt was already going."

"Speaking of Matt where is he?" asked Miranda.

"Tag your it!" "Matt!" I heard Lizzie laugh, "Do you two want to play." "Sure." We both said.

We chased each other around for hours until it got lighter outside. We all fail on the ground next to each other. I was next to Lizzie, Miranda on the other side, Matt and Melina on my left.

I realized I was closer to Lizzie than I should have been. "Lizzie I'm sorry...I..." "No don't." I just laid there with my hand on her shoulde; I could feel her shaking.

If she wanted me to stay than she was making progress. "Lizzie, we should get going." We helped each other up, and then we all got in Miranda's car.

After Miranda dropped off Lizzie and Melina then me, I walked in my house and told my mom that Lizzie is making process. She was happy, but she knew she couldn't tell me what was completely wrong with Lizzie.

As I went upstairs to get ready for bed, I figured it out her conscience was suppressing her abuse.
