Hey guys, a new chapter. Please review! I like feeling the love. Don't own
Lizzie McGuire.
Gordo's POV
After Lizzie scared the life out of Miranda and me, we all just ate and talked. We were catching Miranda up on the past couple of years and just enjoying each other's company. We watched a couple of movies; we even watched the video that I directed with Lizzie and Miranda in it. We were laughing and reminiscing and having a great time. Although I was with Miranda and Lizzie physically, mentally I kept thinking about what Miranda said.
FLASHBACK
"Even though Lizzie was your first love, it doesn't mean she is your true love".
END FLASHBACK
Those words just kept resonating in my head. I have been trying to figure out me and Lizzie's relationship all summer, and just like that, Miranda sums the whole thing up, like it was nothing. Granted I loved Lizzie, I still love her, but I can't get what Miranda said out of my head. It makes no sense but then it does. God, I am so confused. While I was steady confusing myself I heard someone calling my name from a distance.
"Gordo! Gordo!" "Are you with us man" said Lizzie.
"Huh. Oh yeah, I am here with you guys, I was just thinking about something" I said.
"You have been doing that a lot lately," said Miranda.
"Oh, sorry!" "I am totally here now" I said.
"Are you sure, we had to call you for like five minutes" said Lizzie.
"Yes! I am here for the last time. What are we doing now?" I said.
"I don't know about you guys, but I am tired" said Miranda.
"It is getting late. I guess we can do the rest of our friendship bonding thing tomorrow" said Lizzie.
"Cool! So where are we going to meet?" I said.
"How about the Digital Bean! It's been forever since I've been there" said Miranda.
"Cool" said Lizzie and me. "Alright guys, I am on my way home" I said.
"All right Gordo, I will walk you to the door" said Lizzie.
"Night Miranda, thanks for everything" I said.
"Sure Gordo, I have no idea what you're talking about though" said Miranda.
"The little talk we had earlier. It help more than what you know" I said.
"Oh, No problem. Can you guys hit the light on your way out?" said Miranda.
"Sure" said Lizzie.
Lizzie and I started walking down the stairs. I don't know about her but it was some weird sort of awkward silence between us. But we continued to walk to the door. Then out of nowhere Lizzie just asked me a question.
"Was you and Miranda's little talk about us Gordo?" asked Lizzie
"Yeah it was." I said a little surprised. "You aren't angry that I talked to Miranda are you?" I asked.
"No, I'm not angry. I was just wandering because you seemed like you were in a daze ever since I saw you and Miranda in the kitchen" she said. "What did she say to you" asked Lizzie.
"Miranda just said something that made a lot of sense to me and I just kept thinking about it" I said.
"Well, what did she say" said Lizzie kind of impatiently.
I sat there for a minute debating whether or not I should tell Lizzie what Miranda said to me. I didn't know whether or not it would hurt Lizzie feelings.
"Gordo, it could have not been that bad. I'm a big girl I can handle it, just tell me man" said Lizzie.
"Well, I told her that I was having a hard time getting over you and that seeing you today just brought back all of those old feelings that I thought I had gotten rid of." I said.
"I thought you told me you were cool with everything" said Lizzie.
"I was cool, until I had to hug you and like I said before those old feelings came back. So when I was sulking about it today Miranda and I talked. And she told me that just because you were my first love does not mean you were meant to be my true love" I said in one breath.
"Oh" said Lizzie.
For a while we just stood in the door way looking at each other while our mind was going a hundred miles per hour. After what seemed like an eternity, I finally got the courage to say something again.
"Look Lizzie, I know I said I was over you today, but the reality was that I wasn't. What Miranda said just made a lot of sense to me and that's why it seemed like I was in a daze tonight. I finally realized that it is time to move on. And today I made that first step by seeing you and being in your presence. I made that first move by saying that we could still be best friends. And even though we didn't spend this summer together I think it was for the best. Lizzie I will always love you but it is time for David Gordon to find his one true love and let you go. Even though it's going to be hard" I said.
"Gordo, I'm glad that you are deciding to move on. I have missed my best friend. But I have to be honest with you, it was hard for me to move on and I just realized that I have not fully done that. Gordo do you remember what you said to me that night when we were walking through the park?" she said.
"Yeah, I said that if we were to ever break up that I would give you a hug and kiss you and tell you I love you and tell you that we would still be best friends the next day" I said.
"Do you realize that never happened? Gordo you were so upset with me when I broke it off that we never broke up the way that we said we were going to. And because we didn't do that I honestly never moved on. Why do you think I asked you for a hug today?" said Lizzie.
"Oh, I forgot all about that, I was so upset that I didn't remember what I promise to do" I said.
"Do you think we can do that now?" said Lizzie.
"Yes we can" I said.
And with that I grabbed Lizzie around her waist and held her in my arms. We held each other for a while. Then I gave her a kiss on the cheek. From the cheek I kissed her on her lips. I had forgotten how soft her lips were. After I kissed her I whispered in her ear, "I love you Elizabeth McGuire, and I always will". And just like I promised me and Lizzie officially broke up.
"I'm heading home Lizzie, its really late" I said pulling away from her.
"Yeah, I know" she said.
I begin to exit the house that I had become so familiar with over the years. I walked into the crisp night air. It was a little cool outside, this was the first time I saw my breath at night this year. I knew that school was right around the corner. I walked past the lawn gnomes and the McGuire mailbox into the driveway. For the first time in months, I felt happy, free, and lifted from all of my pain. I think, no I know I made the right decision about me and Lizzie's relationship.
"Hey Gordo" yelled Lizzie.
"Yeah" I said turning around.
"I hope you find your true love" said Lizzie smiling.
"Me too Lizzie, me too!" I said laughing.
"Goodnight David Gordon" she said laughing and closing the door.
"Goodbye Elizabeth McGuire. Thanks for being my first love" I thought as I continued on my way home.
