Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story. I do own the
song in this chapter though. I wrote it late the other night for this fic.
It's my first attempt at a song. I hope y'all like it!
A/N: This Lizzie fanfic is a sequel to my story "Everything at Once." Hope y'all enjoy it!

Chapter 4 LIZZIE'S POV:
Everything was well. Miranda took everything well, and I was very surprised. Life continued on well. The weekend went by, and I got a call from Gordo.
"Hey, Gordo! How's it going?" I asked. It was so good to hear from Gordo again!
"Everything's fine, Lizzie," replied Gordo. He didn't sound as excited as I was.
"Did you go on a family bonding vacation?" I asked.
"Yeah. One of those camping things that my parents do near the end of the summer with me every single year. They think it's some kind of family bonding. It never really let's us get to know each other better. Think about it. Sleeping in a one room cabin in the mountains with your family...it doesn't really help strengthen our bond. I think it weakens it. We do get to know each other and then we fight so much and get sick of each other every year. Yet, they keep up this tradition," he said. Gordo sounded tired and worn out, despite this "vacation."
"I'm sorry, Gordo. Hey, I'm glad that you're back!" I exclaimed.
"It's glad to be back," he said. "Now, we have school to look forward to in two weeks. Oh joy. The first day of high school."
"Wouldn't want to miss it," I said sarcastically. "Who would want to miss Miss Ungermeyer?"
"Oh the horrors! It would be awful wouldn't it?" asked Gordo.
I laughed. "I missed you, Gordo," I said. I missed him probably more than he would ever know. Even if it hadn't been that long, it seemed like a life time.
"Yeah. I missed you too," he said quietly. "Well, I'll see you later?"
"Sure," I said. And then we hung up. Right then, Isabella stepped into the room.
"Hey, Lizzie? Ready to work more on our new song?" she asked.
I nodded. "Sure," I said. We had started working on a song not that long ago. We both contributed to the lyrics, and Isabella and I also helped each other with the tune. We started singing it together. We named the song "I Love You." When we finished, my mom started clapping.
"Girls! That was great!" she said, "Encore!"
So, for our mom, we sang it again.
*******************************
When I look in your eyes (I see a smile)
When I look at your arms (I feel an embrace)
Baby, all of our time is spent worthwhile
You make me feel real
When you're in the room (I feel your presence)
When you say goodnight (my heart follows you home)
You are on my mind (always now and forever)
I am nothing without you
The light I see
The warmth I feel
Everything I am
Everything I'll be
Is thanks to you
I just wanna say I love you
When you touch my hair (I love you)
When you kiss my lips (I love you)
Everyday I spend, I wanna spend with you
Baby, all I want I have in you
The light I see
The warmth I feel
Everything I am
Everything I'll be
Is thanks to you
I just wanna say I love you
When I fall you are there (are there)
You are always near me
In your heart I know you care (you care)
I wanna spend my whole life with you!
The light I see
The warmth I feel
Everything I am
Everything I'll be
Is thanks to you
I just wanna say I love you
The light I see
The warmth I feel
Everything I am
Everything I'll be
Is thanks to you
I just wanna say I love you
*******************************
When we finished singing, my mom and my dad started clapping. I felt really proud. It was definitely not bad for our first song together. Well, that was only partially true. We had sung, "What Dreams are Made Of" together, but this was different. This was a song that we had both composed. Then Isabella looked at me.
"Lizzie. I'm planning on starting my singing career up soon," she started. Uh-oh. I knew where this was going. "Lizzie, you sing beautifully. We sing very well together. Will you please be my singing partner? We could make a lot of business being twins and all. Not to mention how well we both sing..."
"I-I don't know, Isabella. It's hard for me to think about that right now. Give me some time to think about it," I said. I got really agitated. I knew I could do it. I knew that we would become famous. But I didn't know if now was the right time.
"Honey, I'm not going to press it to you, but you both would be good in the singing business," she said.
Ok. My mom was pushing for this? "Mom, I didn't even know you'd let Isabella continue to sing," I said.
"Why wouldn't I, sweetie? We've talked about it. She loves singing so much that I could never take that away from her. Even if it means that our life will change," said my mom.
"Well of course it's gonna change! With you adopting her," I said.
"Do you have a problem with that?" asked Isabella.
Why did she have to butt into everything? "Nothing," I replied quietly, "absolutely nothing."
****************************
I spent the next day over at Gordo's house. Isabella and mom went shopping for clothes and stuff. It was weird, and also a little annoying. My mom and Isabella hit it off and seemed to be becoming the best of friends. Was I a little jealous? I hoped not. But I couldn't shake that feeling away.
Gordo greeted me at the door with a hug. We had just become a couple, so it was kind of weird.
"Hey, McGuire. It looks like you have a lot on your mind," he said.
"Hey, Gordo, it's nothing really," I said quietly.
"I know that it's nothing. What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing's wrong, it's just that...things are different now," I said.
"Well I can see that. With a new member to the family..." he started, but I interrupted.
"And a new dog!" I exclaimed.
"A new member of your family, and a dog! When did that happen, Lizzie?" he asked.
"Oh, I dunno. Recently. Isabella bought him, since she's filthy rich, at least according to my standards. But then again, I'm broke all the time," I said.
"Ditto," replied Gordo in agreement.
"That's not all either. Isabella's asked me to become her singing partner," I said.
"So you've taken the job?" he asked.
"No. I'm not sure what to do, and that's the problem. I-I..." I started but then stopped. I wasn't sure how to say what I wanted to say.
"You what, Lizzie?" he asked.
"I just don't wanna ruin our relationship; everything that we have and everything that we might have in the future. Gordo, I love you. I love you so much and I don't want a singing career to change anything. I just wanna be with you," I said.
He lowered his head. "I love you too, Lizzie. We'll still be friends no matter what, I promise you, Lizzie. I keep my promises," he said. He grabbed my hands in his and said, "If you want to sing, don't let anything hold you back." Then he wiped a tear that had escaped and was rolling down my cheek. Then we gently and slowly moved the hair from my face to behind my ear. Then he smiled. His smile is so contagious. I immediately felt a smile creep onto my face. "Now that's the Lizzie I know," he said.
I laughed. "Thanks, Gordo," I said, "You always know how to make me feel better."
"That's what I'm here for," he said.
Then we both leaned in slowly and gave each other our first kiss as boyfriend and girlfriend. I would always remember that. When we finished, I slowly backed away. "Gordo," I whispered, "let's try that again." I grasped him by the shirt collar and quickly pulled him close to me. I gave him a quick kiss and then fingered his face and giggled. I ran my fingers through his curly hair. Then I gave him another kiss. "David Gordon," I giggled, "I will love you until the end of time." Then we drew even closer for another kiss. It felt so good being with him. It felt so good to feel his lips against mine. I forgot about everything, including my possible singing career

But now, I'm outta the writer's block! (for now...) As I said, the song in this chapter, I wrote. It's my first attempt at a song. And I felt like putting some Lizzie/Gordo fluff at the end.
