Chapter 9
Lizzie looked at Gordo with a very loving and caring look. The kind of look that Lizzie used to give him before the accident.
Then she simply smiled at him and went to the cafeteria with her mother.
When Lizzie and her mother entered the cafeteria Mrs. McGuire Immediately got out her Cell phone so that she could call home and tell her family about Gordo's beginning recovery.
But as Lizzie's mother was speaking terribly fast into the little mobile device. All Lizzie could think about was that Gordo wasn't recovering the way she wanted him to recover...and he probably never would.
"Lizzie! Earth to Elizabeth!"
"Huh, what?"
"Honey, you were spacing out I was trying to get your attention."
"Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about Gordo...Do you-..."
"Do I what?"
"Um...do you think Gordo will ever get better and well...remember me?"
"Umm...well sweetie. I can't be too sure of that. I wish I knew. But I don't."
"Yeah, I'm hearing that a lot lately."
As Lizzie began to sink back into her tormenting thoughts, her mother decided to leave her be.
Mrs. McGuire was getting nowhere trying to talk to her anyways.
So she decided to go to the Lobby of the hospital and begin reading a book on her long waited "To Do" list.
When Lizzie's mother left. Lizzie was actually relieved.
She had wanted to be away from people ever since Gordo had awakened, and the burden fell upon her that he was suffering from Amnesia.
But it seemed NO one would realize that and leave her alone to her thoughts.
So when everyone finally did, Lizzie took great advantage of it.
She walked out to the Hospital Garden and sat near the pond that surrounded it.
Lizzie was utterly shocked by who she found sitting near a rock by the pond.
"Gordo?!"
...There was silence.
Lizzie walked up to the lonely boy.
Then she said his name again except this time she tapped on his shoulder.
"Gordo!" "Huh. Oh yeah...That's my name isn't it."
"Yes."
"Hey, You're the girl who was visiting me earlier this morning right...? Lizzie is the name isn't it?"
"Yeah. It feels nice. You saying my name again."
Gordo and Lizzie sat silently, letting the moment soak in.
"Um...so Gordo...what are you doing out here by the pond. I thought those crazy doctors wouldn't let you out of their sight."
"Ha...yeah actually the wouldn't let me go anywhere alone, not even the bathroom. Okay maybe I'm exaggerating."
Lizzie giggled.
"See that's what I loved about you. You always could make me laugh."
"Seems like I still have that talent."
Lizzie chuckled a light chuckle.
"Guess so."
