Chapter: 24: Our separate ways

POV: Lizzie

I was off to go tell Miranda good-bye. Gordo was picking me up. I looked out the window and saw him pull up.

I walked out the door, and got in his car. I couldn't believe he was going to leave and Miranda was fixing to be gone, and I was leaving shortly after Gordo, for my modeling career.

"Gordo you don't regret last night do you?" "Lizzie how could you even ask that, you've always been in my life, and to share that moment with you is something I'll never forget."

Gordo parked the car, we both got out, we held hands all the way to the waiting area, and then he kissed me. "Lizzie, Gordo!" I looked up to see who said my name. "Miranda! How did your parent's take the news?"

Before she answered my question we all found seats to sit in. "They weren't happy, but they know Larry and I are responsible, so they gave us there blessing." "That's great!"

Someone caught my eye, but I mistook them as Larry. "Hey, hon, all I could find was Aquafina water. Is that okay?" "Larry I thought that was you but I wasn't for sure. What are you doing here?"

They both looked at me like I was stupid. "What?" "Lizzie, didn't anyone tell you? I'm going with Miranda to Mexico. I figured I could work on landscapes while I'm there my editor told me my landscapes needed work on." "I didn't know you already had a job." "I got it as an intern my junior year."

We all heard the over intercom... "Flight 856 your plane is now ready to board..."

"Don't forget to write me the both of you, and good luck on everything!" "You too, the both of you!"

That being are good-byes I was sad, but I knew it would be even harder with Gordo and I.

We left when we saw the plane take off in the air.

The days have been by fast. Gordo is leaving and so am I. I figured I would arrive a day early.

Matt, Melina, and Gordo's parents had come to see us off. I knew I was loved and that I always will be.

"Take care of each other," I told Matt and Melina. "Mr. and Mrs. Gordon will you both watch over Matt for me?" "Sure, and you take care of yourself Lizzie." "I will."

They each hugged me in return. I let Gordo have his time with his parents.

... "Flights 756 is now ready to board..."

Gordo and I were both going to NYC and I couldn't wait! He said we could bunk together which I don't mind, it'll be easier with the cost.
