Chapter 20: Strange

POV: Lizzie

"Lizzie, I guess I'll see you later?" "Gordo, I'm not leaving. I want to be with you. I feel better when I'm around you; please don't take that away from me."

I gave him the saddest look I could have ever given him. "I'm with you on this, but what will my parents think and... and your dad?" "I'm hoping your parents will be happy about this and my dad he doesn't matter."

I knew I was wrong in what I had said about my dad, but I don't think he would really care. He's ill... ill in the head at least that is my take on it.

"If you want after we tell you mom and dad, then we could go tell my dad."

Gordo walked over to me and gave this big hug, which I returned of course, but I was scared to go and see my father. He looked at me and smiled then said, "Let's go eat. Don't you know the birthday man has to eat as well?"

I just playfully hit him in the arm and then we went downstairs and into the kitchen. I looked at Gordo nodding my head to him to tell his mother the news. I figured the sooner the better.

"Mom, I have something to tell you." She turned around and looked at her son, and then she turned back and put the burner on low. "Now you have my full attention, what is it?"

"Lizzie and I are together." "That's good. I assumed that upstairs, but I didn't want to say anything."

"You're not angry, Mrs. Gordon?" "No. I just think things might be going a little to fast for you, Lizzie." "I feel better when I'm around Gordo." "That's good. You can call me Daniela, if you want. You and my son are going out, but as I just said only if you want to."

I just nodded and Gordo and I talked about what we where going to do after we ate breakfast.

We agreed that we eat, I would change back into my regular clothes, we celebrate his eighteenth birthday, and then we would go see my dad.

After we cleaned up the mess he made from un-wrapping all his gifts. We left to go visit my dad in jail.

My dad hasn't changed much, just gotten a little skinner, but he still looked the same. "What do you want?" he's words came out like venom. "I just came to tell you that you were wrong that I am capable of loving and I know I'm capable of being loved back."

At those words I smiled at Gordo and he squeezed my hand. "You two are finally together congratulations. I'm happy I really am, so how is Matt doing?"

I didn't know how to respond to that, he was acting weird too nice; I didn't know what to say. "Mr. McGuire, Matt's doing fine." He looked at Gordo and smiled like he just noticed him really noticed him for the first time. "I'm glad both of my kids are doing well." "Time's up." said the guard who let us in.

We got up and left. Once we where outside, and in the car, I turned to Gordo and said, "Something was up my dad was acting really strange.He was venom like and then nice." He started the engine and pulled out; he turned to me and said, "I know."

I staid over his house until four in the afternoon and then he walked me over to 'my home.' We kissed before I walked inside. I didn't want to let him go.
