Chapter 8: Confessions

Lizzie's POV

Gordo came back with the chips and sat down just as Miranda had hit the play button on the DVD player. Up on the screen the title had appeared on the screen: The Thing I Love the Most. "Ah, this doesn't doesn't look like The Lord of the Rings," said Lizzie looking over at Gordo who's face had become extremely pale. She turned back to the screen which now showed Lizzie smiling which faded into a picture of her when she was day dreaming at lunch the other day. Then Gordo's voiceover came over the screen, "I love Lizzie because, of every thing about her. Her smile, her eyes, every thing."

Lizzie looked over at Gordo's face which was now buried in his hands. She was in an absolute state of confussion. *Was Miranda telling the truth the whole time? Or is all this a big joke? This better not be a big joke!* she thought to herself.

It was reaching the end of the tape, "I love Lizzie so much, except, I can never tell her. If I did it might ruin our whole friendship. That can't happen, she's my whole world. Without her, there isn't a reason to live. I love her so much."

The screen faded and no one said a word. Lizzie could feel the tears running down her cheeks as she stared at the blank screen. "Oh my gosh," she whispered. She couldn't believe it. Gordo really did care about her as more than a friend, because there was no way that someone could say those words without really meaning it, it was impossible. But it was too much to take in at one time. "I- I have to go," she said getting up and rushing out the door. "Lizzie, wait!" she could here Gordo yell from behind her before she closed the door.

Miranda's POV

That was so sweet how Gordo had made a whole video about his love for Lizzie. She smiled when the movie finished and looked her at Lizzie and Gordo. Lizzie had tears running down her cheeks and Gordo's face was buried in his hands. "I-I have to go," Lizzie said running out the door. "Lizzie, wait!" Gordo yelled desperatly after her, "Why did you have to do that?! Couldn't you leave well enough alone!?" he yelled at Miranda. She could see a stray tear running down his face, "She may never talk to me again! And if that's the case, don't expect me to talk to you ever again either!" With that he stormed out the door, no doubt to look for Lizzie.

All the time she had thought she was doing something for her friends when she actually might have completely destroyed their lives. *How come I'm so stupid?* she thought wiping a stray tear from her eye and walking out the door.



Gordo's POV

Gordo glanced down at his watch. It was only a quarter to two but no doubt it would get dark soon. *I have to find Lizzie,* he thought as he began his search. He searched every where he could think of, *Maybe I should give up. It's already dark.* he thought but then shook his head, *No, I can't give up on her. You never give up on love.* He closed his eyes and thought, *Where would Lizzie be......... that's it! The park! Why didn't I think of it before*

He took off at a jog and finally reached the park and sure enough, Lizzie was there sitting under a tree, hugging her knees to her chest and wiping her eyes. He walked over, "Hey," he said with no response from her, "mind if I sit down?" She shook her head and he sat down next to her.

There was a long pause until he finally spoke up. "So, you want to talk about it?" She shrugged, "What is there to talk about?" she asked choked up by tears. "Lizzie, we could just forget this happen-"

"No we can't Gordo!" her tears were flowing more freely. "Sshh, it's okay," he said scooting closer to her and gently stroking her hair. "No, Gordo, it's not!" she said pulling away and standing up. "Lizzie, why are you mad at me?" he asked standing up too. "It's nothing," she said turning around. "No, Lizzie it is! Why won't you tell me?" he yelled turning her around. "Because!" she screamed tears running into her mouth. "Because why?" he asked grabbing her arms.

"Because I love you too!" she yelled more desperatly. "And I'm scared," she said scarcely above a whisper. Gordo was shocked, she felt the same way? "Oh, Lizzie, it's okay, it's okay," he said taking her in his arms as if he was trying to protect her.

Lizzie's POV

"Because I love you too!" she yelled more desperatly. "And I'm scared," she said scarcely above a whisper. "Oh, Lizzie, it's okay, it's okay," he said taking her in his arms where she felt safe and protected. "I don't know what to say," she whispered with her head on his chest. "You don't have to say anything," he whispered back.

After what seemed like for ever Lizzie finally spoke up, "So?" she asked. "So what?" he asked back. "so what are we going to do?" she stepped back a step to look at him. *Because after all, I don't think they have books under this. What to do when you fall in Love with your best friend for Dummies.* She thought to herself and smiled.

He shrugged, "I don't know, hows about we just take it from the begining?" he asked smiling down at her. She nodded and smiled, "sounds good to me," she said returning the smile as he drew her closer to him. "So, you want to go out tomorrow?" he asked throwng her a charming smile. A wave of warmth swept over her, "I'd love to," she answered putting her arms around his neck. Their faces were so close she could feel his warm breath on her face. "I love you, Lizzie," he whispered. "I love you too," she whispered as they leaned in and kiised eachother gently on the lips. Now every thing was perfect.

She felt as though nothing else around her existed as she was there in his arms. Nothing else mattered as she was there in Gordo's arms. Nothing else mattered.
