All those happy memories began to fade away and disappeared. Then everything went black.

Lizzie woke up in Hospital a week later, feeling groggy and tired. She moaned and put her hand to her head because she had what felt like a migraine. First, the world around her was blurry and disfigured, and then she heard a man's voice ringing in her ears.

"Lizzie?" Said the man. Lizzie rubbed her eyes and everything became clearer and she saw who the man was. He was the same person who treated her in Hospital the last time she was there.

"D-Doctor R-Reegan?" Lizzie said out of no where.

"Oh! You remember me do you? Well that's a good start eh? Anyway, I've just called your family and they should be here soon. Do you know what happened?" He asked as he examined her thoroughly. Lizzie shook her head slowly. She did.

"You've had an overdose on drugs Lizzie. Do you know what drug?" Dr. Reegan asked seriously. Lizzie shook her head and sank deeper into the blankets. She knew exactly what drug it was, she remembered everything.

"Ecstasy. You do know the seriousness of this don't you? For a young, healthy girl like you?" He asked. Lizzie nodded and stared down at her hands. 'How could she have done this to herself? She could have died!'

"B-but I-I swear! I only took one Doctor! I didn't think I would die!" Lizzie wailed.

"Different amounts of Ecstasy have different effects on different people Lizzie, you must understand that." Dr. Reegan said. Lizzie nodded and there was a knock on the door. Jo, Sam and Matt all walked in and Jo wrapped her arms around her daughter.

"Oh Lizzie! I was so worried! How could you do this to yourself?" She asked.

"M-Mom?" She asked. Jo let go of her and looked stunned. She expected Lizzie to shove her off and throw her across the room. But instead, Lizzie hugged back. Dr. Reegan left them alone to have some family time together.

Mrs. McGuire finally let go of Lizzie and sniffed. "I'm just so happy your okay honey." She said gratefully.

Sam gave her a kiss on her forehead and Lizzie hugged him back. Lizzie's parents just could believe their eyes that Lizzie was called them Mom and Dad and that she was hugging them. It was like her memory had completely restored back.

"Lizzie, we really have to have a serious talk about what you did okay? We understand that you are probably not feeling well right now, so we'll talk to you later, alright?" Sam said. Lizzie nodded, she couldn't wait.

"Sweetie, we just have to speak to the Doctor for a minute first and we'll be back okay?" Jo said. Lizzie nodded again. She had already nodded about a hundred times today as she didn't feel like speaking. Mr. and Mrs. McGuire left the room and shut the door, so it was just Matt and Lizzie left in the room alone. The two just stared at each other, not knowing what to say.

"You scared me Lizzie. You really did. How could you do this to yourself? I know I'm an annoying little idiot sometimes, but I still care about you Lizzie." Matt said worriedly. Lizzie had never seen him sound so caring before.

"Thanks Matt. Look, I really dunno what got in to me and I promise that I will never do something like that again. But you have to promise me that you'll never do something like that, ever, okay? Cos it's never gonna do you any good." Lizzie said. Matt nodded and hugged his sister. He wanted to take back all the bad and annoying things that he'd ever done to Lizzie, because now, she meant a lot to him.

"I'm glad to see that you remember me now!" Matt chuckled.

"What are you talking about?"

"You mean, you don't remember yourself treating me like a dog? L-like your pet?" Matt asked. Lizzie thought about it for a while and then it rushed into her mind. She still remembered everything that happened and what she did during that time. Even Isabel and Ben.

"Oh, I-I'm so sorry Matt! I didn't mean to, really!" Lizzie said.

"It's okay; it was kinda funny I have to admit!" He laughed. Lizzie laughed too. Jo and Sam came back looking kind of pleased.

"Lizzie, we have some good news for you honey. When you took the drugs, it effected your brain, which caused you to get your memory back! It sounds kind of insane but that's great, isn't it? I mean, it's not great that you took the drugs, but it is good that you got your memory back!" Sam said happily.

"So Dad, if I lose my memory can I take Ecstasy too?" Matt asked.

"Matt McGuire! That is the stupidest-,"

"Ah, Jo, please! Matt, go outside for a minute while we talk to Lizzie! Now!" Sam almost yelled. Matt groaned and went outside to wait while Lizzie's parents seriously talked to Lizzie about her actions. The lecture from her parents wasn't as bad as she had expected. They knew about her drinking and smoking too, and couldn't have been more disappointed with her.

"I'm so sorry Mom and Dad; I promise it will never happen again!" Lizzie pleaded.

"We forgive you Lizzie and we understand that your mind wasn't in the right place and that time. Well, I don't think it ever was. But anyway, let's make this a new start okay? We'll pretend it never happened." Jo said understandingly. Lizzie smiled and hugged her parents, she loved them so much.

"And there isn't anything else you want to tell us, anything we don't know?" Sam asked.

"No, I've told you guys everything, I swear. I remember everything I did that night, it was terrible." Lizzie answered.

"Okay then. Well when you get home, you are grounded for 2 months, no allowance and heaps of chores for you!" Sam said.

"W-what? But Dad! That is so unfair! I thought you-,"

"Lizzie we can't just let you off with no punishment for doing what you did. What kind of parents would we be?"

"Um, really cool?" Lizzie said. Her parents laughed and Matt came back in wanting to hear what had happened.

"Mom, when do you think Miranda and Gordo are gonna come see me?" Lizzie asked. Her parents looked at each other sadly, and didn't know what to tell her.

"Um, honey, I'm afraid Miranda and Gordo don't to want to be your friends anymore." Sam replied.

"W-what are you talking about Dad?" Lizzie asked. All of a sudden, it struck her. She remembered how she had made Gordo cheat and how she put the cigarettes in Miranda's folder.

"Oh my gosh." Lizzie said under her breath. Her parents weren't supposed to her that.

"Oh Lizzie, we are so sorry!" Jo hugged her tightly.

"Um, is it okay if I have time on my own?" Lizzie asked. Her parents and Matt said goodbye and walked out. She lay there in the quiet and empty room. 'Great, I've got no friends and my life is miserable as hell. Why was I so stupid? I've got no one to blame but myself. Everyone hates me now.' Lizzie said miserably to herself.

Lizzie stayed in hospital for another two days. One day when she was sleeping, she heard a soft knock on the door and quickly woke up. She thought it would be her parents but Dr. Reegan came in with a smile on his face. 'What is he so happy about?' Lizzie said to herself.

"Lizzie, you have some visitors." He said. Lizzie turned her head and Isabel and Ben walked in.

"I'll leave you guys to it. Remember you don't have long." He said. Isabel nodded and shooed him out.

"Hey Liz. Are you okay buddy?" Isabel asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm so glad you guys came, I was bored to bits over here."

"I'm happy you're okay Lizzie!" Ben said. Lizzie smiled at him.

"Yeah. Mr. Lawson over here would ring me everyday at the crack of dawn to ask me if you were okay. We was worried as hell this one." Isabel laughed. Ben blushed and turned away.

"You were worried about me?" Lizzie asked.

"Yeah of course I was." Ben answered as he hugged her. All three of them talked for a long time and Lizzie enjoyed their company.

"You guys are the only friends I have now, everyone else hates me." Lizzie said sadly. Isabel lowered her head and look down at her feet.

"Iz, what's the matter?" Lizzie asked.

"Well it's just that I was the one that gave you the Ecstasy, so it's kinda my fault that you're here. And I talked you into smoking and drinking. I'm the one that stuffed up my life, not you, I'm a lousy friend." Isabel said as her eyes filled with tears. Lizzie had never seen her cry before; Isabel was the toughest person in their grade. But everyone cried once in a while.

"No Iz, of course it's not your fault. You didn't force me to do those things, I wanted to do it. You can't blame yourself for that, and please don't feel guilty because I don't think this was any of your fault, okay?" Lizzie said. Isabel nodded and grinned.

"Hey, I'm just gonna go to the vending machine to grab a drink okay?" Ben said.

"Yeah okay, but be quick, we have to go soon." Isabel said. Ben nodded and went outside.

"I thought you said that Ben had a 'bad boy reputation'." Lizzie said.

"He does. Well he did. I guess that all stopped now cos he has you." Isabel replied.

"What do you mean?"

"When Ben has a girlfriend, he's the sweetest thing ever! But when he doesn't he's a huge showoff and a complete psycho!"

"I'd like to see that!" Lizzie chuckled.

"Anyway Liz, I just wanted to let you know that I'm moving, and changing schools tomorrow."

"What? Please tell me your Kidding! You can't go, you're my best friend! My only friend! Why?" Lizzie asked.

"Well, when my parents heard about the party and what happened to you, they were furious and they want me to go to boarding school, which sucks more than ever! It's worse than normal school Lizzie, but I'm really gonna miss you and I'll promise to write and call you!" Isabel said.

"I don't know whether I can go to school without you."

"Course you can. You'll live." Isabel said as Ben walked in holding a drink. Isabel said they had to go but Lizzie didn't want them to. Especially when her best friend wasn't coming back to school with her.

"Well, I guess this is Goodbye then." Lizzie said sadly. Isabel nodded and gave her a quick hug.

"We'll keep in touch Lizzie, I promise." Isabel said.

"I'll be seeing you around Ben." Lizzie said to him. He kissed her and waved goodbye as they walked out the door. Lizzie felt worse than before. 'How am I gonna survive school without Isabel? It's going to be hell and I'm gonna look like the biggest freak with no friends!' Lizzie said to herself as she slumped in her bed.

Lizzie was allowed to go home the next day which she was happy of. She was sick of staying in the hospital all alone. Her parents let her take the rest of the week of as there were only two more days to go.

"Um, Dad, so how about that Porsche?" Lizzie joked. Sam glanced over at her. She still remembered the deal she had made with her parents.

"Very funny Lizzie, but you're not getting away with that one. You probably won't even get a bomb for another five years!" Sam laughed. Lizzie looked at him disapprovingly and went upstairs to her room. She began to pack her bag as tomorrow would be Monday and she would be starting school. When she opened her front pocket, she pulled out two cigarettes. Lizzie narrowed her eyes at them and chucked them in the bin. She wasn't going to be that Lizzie McGuire anymore, she was going to change. Be a better student, get better grades and get her old best friends back which seemed highly impossible.
