Chapter 6: Gordo's pain
Miranda's POV
"What happened?" Gordo mouthed to Miranda. Lizzie was still in his arms and she really hated to ruin the moment, but, it had to be done. She grabbed Gordo's arm, "We'll be back in a minute," she whispered in Lizzie's ear as she dragged Gordo away. "What happened to Lizzie? Did you say something to her what did you say?" he asked as she pulled him to the same corner where she had talked to Lizzie.
"Don't worry, Gordo, I didn't hurt your preciouse Lizzie," Miranda answered sarcastically. "What are y-"
"Don't go there, Gordo!" she interuppted, fed up with her friends being completely clueless about their feelings for eachother. "Do you love Lizzie?" she said cutting to the chase. "Maybe," he mumbled, "What is it to you if I am or not?"
"Come on, Gordo, tell me," she demanded. "Yes," he mumbled softly. "How much?" she asked. "Gordo sighed, "Madly." he stated. he turned to look at Lizzie who was drying her tears with a tissue. "I'm always thinking about her, I cant think of a time I'm not. I think about her hair, her eyes, her laugh her smile, just- everything about her and how she's so perfect." he turned to look back at Miranda, "But, I could never tell her that. I mean, how much could a girl like her be in love with me?" *More than you think,* Miranda thought to herself as he continued, "But Miranda, you can't tell her anything," he sighed.
"How long have you felt this way?" she asked quietly. "You have no idea how long. Do you know how much it hurt everytime she drooled over Ethan, the only reason I helped her try to impress Ethan was because I couldn't stand to see her upset, or when she gets some other kind of crush or when Ronnie kissed Lzzie, MY Lizzie. I was jealouse, Miranda!" Mirand stood there and marveled how much her friends were alike in so many ways, *They're perfect for eachother,* she thought. Gordo continued, "I always wondered if she felt the same. But then thought, 'what if she doesn't?'. But you have to promise not to tell her anything. Because, what if she doesn't? It might ruin our friendship and I wouldn't be able to stand that. I need to be near her, and if that means not telling her how I feel so it doesn't ruin our friendship than I'm fine with that." he looked over at Lizzie and Miranda could see a lump in his throat. He turned back to her. "I can't live without her," he croaked.
Miranda felt as if she herself would cry. Here were her two best friends in the whole world madly in love with eachother. But they were risking their feelings for freindship which they valued above anything else. All they wanted was to see eachother happy. She wiped away a lone tear from her cheek. "Thanks for telling me, Gordo, I really appreciate it." she said quietly, "And I'm sure Lizzie would appreciate it even more if you told her the exact same thing." He shook his head, "I already told you, I can't."
It pained Miranda to see her friends in this kind of emotional pain but thought it better to let them work it out on there own. "Okay then. Let's go sit down."
They went back and sat down and all three of them acted as though nothing had taken place earlier. "So, you two want to come over tomorrow and watch some movies? It'll be Saturday, afterall." Gordo said. "I'm there," said Lizzie who had looked like she had gotten herself under control. "Ya, count me in too." said Miranda. "Okay then, see you there at 12?" The two girls nodded.
Lizzies POV
They started walking home. And just like earlier Miranda turned down her street and Gordo skipped his to walk Lizzie home.
When they got to the doorstep things were akward as they both remembered what had almost happened earlier. "See you tomorrow,"lizzie said unlocking the door. "Ya, see you," Gordo replied. Lizzie was about to walk threw the door when she hesitated. She bit her lip and turned to him. She leaned over to him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. As soon as she had given it she retreated to her house leaving a shocked, but very pleased, Gordo on her doorstep.
