Author Note: Okay this is the last chapter and then the next chapter is just the epilogue. You might want to read the epilogue, because that's the good part. It's going to be really long and junk and it has a lot of Gordo and Lizzie fluff. And plus I don't feel good physically and mentally because I have no clue. I'm just, oh who cares, so this is why I'm writing to make me calm down. Oh yes and please check out my friend's story, her pen name is ripped carpet. Oh yes and this is a short chapter because, I don't know, it's just going to be a short chapter.
Lizzie slammed her alarm clock with frustration and got up lazily. There was this feeling in her gut and she didn't know what it was. Something was bothering her last night, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She glanced at the picture of Miranda, Gordo, and her and then it struck her, she was going to lose Gordo.
She thrust some pants on, pulled on a shirt, and then hurriedly put her make up on without even styling her hair. It was either that or losing Gordo, so she picked the first choice.
Lizzie ran down the stairs grabbing a muffin from Michael's plate. She had never done that before and Michael thought that quite odd.
"Why'd you take my muffin?" he asked.
"I have to go get something," said Lizzie as she ignored Michael's question.
"What do you need to get?" he asked.
"Something that could affect our lives if I don't take drastic measures," Lizzie explained. (A/N: SORRY I have to put an author note here. I know you hate these things, but that line I just typed was cheesy.)
"What are you talking about?" he inquired with a puzzled look on his face. Abby was sitting next to him and bopped him on the head.
"OW!" he exclaimed. "What did you do that for?"
"Aren't you oblivious to the fact about - ."
"Abby, no," Lizzie told her daughter. "If he doesn't know then he'll figure it out later."
"Okay," Abby shrugged.
"Whose going to take care of us?" questioned Michael.
"I don't get you sometimes Michael," sighed Abby as she grabbed another muffin to eat. "If you only understood what Mom was going through. It all has to do with love.""Alright Abby, that's enough," smiled Lizzie. "I'll call Ms. Landers to take care of you. Now you better behave while I'm gone because I already have enough on my hands to worry about."
"MS. LANDERS!" exclaimed Michael. "That old hag who we have to read the newspaper to because she can barely read. Either she can't read or she is as blind as a bat."
"She's old," Abby bickered.
"She's about fifty? Sixty? I don't know, but all I do know is that she's old."
Lizzie smiled at her children's bickering and closed the door on them to get to her car. After she got in she dialed Ms. Landers number and asked her if she could look after the children while she was gone. She agreed and Lizzie hang up on the phone.
Lizzie went on the highway and went full speed. It was eleven forty-five in the morning and she had fifteen minutes till Gordo's plane left. She had to go a little bit faster if she wanted to see Gordo. Lizzie turned up the volume of the radio so that the music was blaring in her ears.
Ten minutes had passed and she finally reached the airport. The muffin that she was eating was thrown onto her car floor. She parked in handicap parking and listened to the scolding of a senior citizen who told her to move her car. Of course, Lizzie ignored the ballistic women and ran to the airport entrance.
"Hey lady, your car is in the handicap parking area and if you don't move it then we'll have to tow it," explained a man who was helping with somebody's luggage. Lizzie had supposed that he worked at the airport. She knew that they weren't going to let her get anywhere.
She turned toward him and said, "When I get back, I'll have a check ready to help you tow my car, but right now I have other important matters to take care of."
A grin formed on Lizzie's face and she turned back toward the airport's entrance and ran into the building. She looked at where Gordo's plane was leaving.
"Gate B27," she muttered to herself. "That's across the whole airport. I'm not going to make it."
You've gotten this far Lizzie into your life and you have survived it all. If you give up now, there's no chance you'll ever get him back. It's now or never, Lizzie told herself and then broke into a run.
"Watch where your going," scolded a thirty-year-old man who shot her glares. She ignored the man and ran faster.
"Gate B24, Gate B25, Gate B26," she said to herself and then stopped in front of Gate B27. "Gate B27, my destination. I made it."
She smiled to herself and searched for Gordo. She couldn't find him anywhere. Then she finally spotted him in the line and he was entering the terminal. Oh no, she thought. He's not going into that terminal until I tell him something.
"Gordo!" she shouted, but he did not hear her.
"GORDO!"
Lizzie broke out into another run and pushed her way through the people in the line. Again, the people in the line complained and scolded her for her actions. One of the flight attendants stepped in front of Lizzie as asked, "Ticket?"
"I don't have one, but I really need to tell someone something who is in that terminal," she explained quickly.
"I thought so. Now the rules apply to everybody and you're not just any certain special person who gets to get a free flight. No ticket, no entrance," the lady told her.
Lizzie sighed and then when the lady wasn't looking she broke out into another run.
"Come back," the flight attendant shouted, but Lizzie didn't dare look behind her. She finally entered the plane and scanned the small plane for Gordo. He was sitting there in his seat flipping through a magazine. She grinned at the sight of him and walked carefully over to him.
She tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "Excuse me, do you have your ticket?"
"Yes," he mumbled and fumbled with his jacket pocket and pulled it out.
"Good, because I need one," Lizzie smiled.
Gordo looked up and whispered, "Lizzie! What are you doing here?"
"You think I would give up after the many things I've been through. The divorce and the effect it has been on my kids, don't forget the rumors, but the main problem is you!"
Gordo stood up so that they were cramped into the small aisle of the plane. "What do you mean I'm a problem?"
"I think you know," Lizzie whispered and she could feel the edges of her lips forming into a smile, a big smile.
"Prove it to me," he told her. His eyes were now staring into her eyes and she looked at him with longing. She leaned in and touched his cheek. He immediately reacted to the kiss and placed his arms around her waist. She put her arms around his neck and pulled him with her to the wall so that she was on the wall and that Gordo was on her. Gordo deepened the kiss and Lizzie gladly returned it. They both heard cheers from the plane and they broke apart.
"This is against the law," spoke the flight attendant woman who didn't let her in before.
"Don't worry we're leaving," Gordo told her and then grabbed Lizzie by the hand and led her out of the plane and out of the terminal.
When they were out of the terminal, Gordo faced her and asked, "Why did you come?"
"Only one reason," she told him.
"And what is that?" he asked with curiosity.
"Because I love you, Gordo. I thought that was already obvious," Lizzie said.
"That's what I wanted to hear," he said and pulled her in for another kiss.
This was how it was supposed to be, thought Lizzie. After these hard months, I think that this moment makes up for the rest of all those hard months I had to endure. There are three things I need to do when I'm home. One is to thank Kate for telling me about the moment, because this is definitely recreating the moment from when in Rome. Two is to thank Ms. Landers for babysitting my kids while I'm kissing my best friend, or maybe more. The last one is to thank Miranda for telling me not to give up and giving me support, even when I didn't need it.
There was only guy I wanted, one way to get him, and only one real moment for all of this to happen. Yes only one real moment.
Author Note: Yay! I loved writing the ending. I liked the whole scheme about Lizzie chasing after Gordo from her house to the airport and then telling their undying love for each other. Now look out for the next chapter which is the epilogue. PLEASE REVIEW. This is the ending and I want a lot of reviews. Thanks.
