Chapter 11.

Lizzie woke up early the next day. She wanted to get a head start on seeing Gordo. He was after all awake now.

So Lizzie made her way downstairs and into the kitchen to find her mother.

But something really unusual happened when she entered the kitchen.

Her Mom was...crying.

"Mom...? Mom what is it?"

"Oh, honey I didn't see you there. It's nothing. I was just. Thinking about yesterday. You and Gordo were together, hanging out...it was just like old times..."

Lizzie went over to her mother and gave her a hug. And the first time in this whole month that Gordo has been in the hospital, Lizzie realized that she wasn't the only one who was hurting. She knew that sounded...selfish. But when Gordo had first gotten into the accident she thought that she was the only one affected. She was terribly wrong.

"Mom, do you think we can go see him. I promised him that I would go to him today."

"Sure Hun. We can leave now if you would like to."

"Yeah that sounds great mom."

So Mrs. McGuire and Lizzie were on their way yet again to Memorial hospital.

Knock knock knock!

Lizzie and her mother had finally made it to Gordo's hospital room.

But when they entered Gordo was no where to be found.

Mrs. Gordon quickly walked up to them.

"Oh thank God! Lizzie you're here! Gordo's missing! The doctor's have been searching this entire hospital for him all day...but he is nowhere to be found! Lizzie, do you have any idea where he might be at?"

"Um...I don't know I mean. He could be anywh--... Wait I think I might know where he is. Umm I'll be right back. But please don't send any doctor's I think it would be better if I found him alone."

"Of course honey. Just find our son."

With that Lizzie exited the hospital room and made her way down to the pond.

Just as Lizzie suspected, she found her old friend sitting in the same exact place that he was sitting the day before. As if he was just...waiting for something or someone.

Lizzie walked up to him slowly and quietly. Without saying a word Lizzie sat down by him.

Gordo looked up into Lizzie's Ocean Blue eyes. And then he began to cry. He cried until there was no strength left in him to get out another single tear.

Lizzie held Gordo close to her body. Just comforting him any way that she possibly could.

"Lizzie I'm sorry I'm so sorry! But I can't take this! I need to tell you something...something important."

Gordo poured back into a stream of tears. He couldn't hold his feelings back anymore.

"Gordo, it's okay...it's okay-..."

"No Lizzie it's not! I just want to make you and my family happy. But it is SO hard to remember things...I've tried...a lot...and well the other day--..."

Lizzie cut him off in mid sentence.

"...Gordo you can't blame this on yourself. It's not your fault this all happened."

"I know...I know. It's just...the other day. Well I was lying in bed and watching some T.V. and well...I was watching this Television show and out of no where I got this flashback...a memory I think, it had me and you. I was filming you on this...camera and you were...rehearsing a dance...Lizzie did I remember something?"

"OH MY GOSH! Gordo! You did it! You remembered something! That memory occurred about 3 or 4 months ago. Gordo...you're recovering!"
