Chapter 13

"Well, well, well Gordo you certainly are recovering quite well...in fact I think that you are one of the fastest recoveries with a case of Amnesia that we have had in a while. Who knows I think that you just might be out of this hospital faster than you think." Said Dr. Milton while checking off things on his clipboard.

"Really?!"

"Actually, yes Gordo...hmm let me just go take these test's downstairs and I will get right back to you."

The doctor left and the room went crazy with excitement. Mr. And Mrs. Gordon were screaming crazily just gleaming with joy that their son was actually recovering.

It was perfect. Gordo was going to recover...but will he ever remember if he had feelings for Lizzie...

"Hey Lizzie! Isn't this great! I'm going to start remembering more day by day. Who knows I might be back to my 'old' self in a week!"

Right when Lizzie was going to congratulate her friend the doctor walked back in.

"Don't get your hopes up that high. Yes you are recovering but it is still going to take time."

Everything fell dead silent in the room. That's when I spoke up.

"So you're saying that you're going to put his hopes down. I mean he is working really hard and you have absolutely no right to just come in here and--..."

"Elizabeth Brooke McGuire! Please come out into the hallway with me...NOW!" Remarked a very agitated Mrs. McGuire.

"Lizzie what has gotten into you? You were talking to an adult in there, and YOU Elizabeth have no right to speak that way to an adult especially a doctor!"

"I'm sorry mom. I don't know what overcame me...it's just he IS working really hard and I guess I just want what is best for him...and I don't know... it's kind of hard to encourage a friend when this one adult out of no where is just putting him down..."

"Lizzie...Dr. Milton is not putting Gordo down...she is doing her job."

"I know...but well Gordo really opened up to me today and...he's-...I mean I--..."

"You what Lizzie?"

"I-...I'm in love with Gordo!"

"You-...your what?! Lizzie this is silly let's just go back insid--..."

"No mom! I love him me Elizabeth Brooke McGuire is in love with her best friend since birth! He means the world to me, mom. And you want to know the sad part...I can't love him. I'm not 'supposed' to be in love with him. Because he doesn't even remember me!"

Lizzie began to cry tears of sorrow. Tears of sadness, any tears that she could deliver...she cried them.

Then something that was never supposed to happen...happened.

A figure appeared in the doorway.

Lizzie looked up and confirmed who was watching her pour herself into sorrow...it was Gordo.

"Gordo...I-...you-..."

Gordo appeared to have tears in his eyes as well...

"Lizzie...you..." Was all Gordo could muster out of his mouth.

"Gordo...you weren't supposed to see this..."

"Umm I think that I will leave you two alone." Said Mrs. McGuire who was obviously very uncomfortable sitting in between them, with this situation.

After a few minutes of being silent Gordo spoke up. "You love me?"

Lizzie was shocked that he had just said that...I mean Gordo 'had' been very...open with his feelings before the accident but he would never just ask it flat out like that.

Then Lizzie said something that even shocked herself...

"...Yes..."

"But I thought that we were just friends..."

"We...we were. But...um...before you initially gotten into the accident, I kind of always had these...unexplainable feelings towards you that I never really let out...or told you...Do you want to hear the sad thing...?"

Gordo said nothing but she continued talking anyway.

"The day that you got into the accident...I was...on my way to tell you that I love you."

Gordo stood there. Looking at Lizzie...he was in awe that she loved him. Then he finally spoke up.

"I remember."
