Chapter 18: Resting in your arms

POV: Gordo

It's raining and someone is knocking on my window at two in the morning!

I get out of my warm bed, walk towards my window, and lighting strikes.

I think to myself 'Am I crazy?' but the lighting gives me enough light to see who is knocking on my window.

I see Lizzie, so open the window and help her inside. She's drenched in rain. I looked her over and knowing I should be doing that, so I say, "Stay right there." She just nodded her head, and then I went over to my dresser and got grey sweat pants, my boxers, and one of my white t-shirts. I didn't know what she would want. She took the clothes I handed her and she went into my bathroom.

She comes out in boxers and the white t-shirt. "Where do you want me to put these?" I didn't. I couldn't respond to her question because I was wondering if she would let me hold her when she was necked under the clothes I just let her wear. I took my grey sweats from her, and put them back in my drawer.

"Are you wondering what I'm doing here, Gordo?" I turned around and said, "Yes. Especially at this hour." She motioned for me to sit next to her on my bed.

I did and I could tell she was nervous, and I was curious. "I left a note, for Melina and her mom. Th-Thanks for the clothes."

She did something I wasn't expecting. She leaned over and pecked me on the lips, and then laid her head on my shoulder and started to cry.

I was shocked. Stunned would be more like it. I didn't say anything. "I 'm sorry Gordo, it's just that I want things to be better. No I want us to be friends again. I do want us to be friends again, but maybe a little bit more. I just need your help."

I wanted us to go back to what we were as well, but then everything started doing a 180 and I hoped it stopped soon!

"I want that too, Lizzie." She didn't respond, so I looked at her and she had fallen asleep. I woke her up and told her she could get in my bed and I would sleep on the floor.

Her response was, "No." She took the right side and I took the left side of the bed. I couldn't sleep so; I turned over and wrapped my arms around her waist. She scooted her back closer toward me, and then I fell asleep.

Author's Note:

I'm sorry this chapter has taken so long to write, but my computer was in the shop, and I was grounded so I couldn't go anywhere, or do anything. I don't like being grounded.

I have tons of email, to look through, which I did some of that this morning, and so thank you:
