Hey guys, thanks for the reviews. Sorry it took so long for this chapter
but school is really kicking my butt! LOL! Anyway I hope you enjoy!
MIRANDA'S POV
Run Miranda run! Don't stop! Just keep running!
That's all I kept repeating to myself.
I heard him yelling my name in desperation behind me but I had to keep running or I literally would have had a nervous break down.
I couldn't quite grasp my psyche around what I just saw or maybe I wasn't ready to think about what had just transpired.
So all I could do was run.
I didn't know exactly where I was going but I had to get there fast. I ran past people so fast that a few of them fell down to try to keep out of my way. I was ducking in between cars and running out into the street not looking where I was going. I heard a few horns beep and cars screeching to a halt.
"Hey watch out you kids" I heard some angry stranger yell.
That's when I realized he was still behind me calling my name pleading for me to stop running.
I couldn't stop. The more he yelled my name the more energy I got to run away.
Before I knew it I was in front of my house. I kicked the gate open in immediately ran up the steps. I hoped and prayed to God the door was unlocked for a change.
God must have heard my prays because when I reached the door I swung it open and darted up the steps.
I reached my room and slammed and locked the door. I immediately collapsed on my bed. Some what from exhaustion because I ran all the way home from school but mostly because my heart was in pain. Literally.
I can't believe he would do that to me. I can't believe she would do that to me. I was thinking all of this while standing up and looking around my room in confusion.
I feel to my knees in disbelief.
All I could do was burst into tears. I screamed so loudly while I cried because my heart hurt so much. I was in pain, the worst pain imaginable.
The man that I loved so much was kissing another girl. Not just any girl but my best friend and it was too much for me to bare.
By now I heard him knocking on my door asking to come in. I heard my mother ask him what was going on, but he ignored her and continued to bang and yell my name.
The sound of his voice was too much for me to bare. The more I heard him the harder I cried. I've never cried like this before.
So I blocked him out I blocked everything out. I cried so hard, it was the cry that symbolized that my soul had been damaged and it would take a lot for it to get repaired.
I lay in my bed and cried, and I cried until I couldn't remember anything else.

GORDO'S POV
"Miranda, baby please answer me" I pleaded as I banged on her door.
I had been chasing her all the way from school and I visibly was out of breath but none of that mattered now. I had to get her to hear me out to explain what happened today.
"Miranda baby please, answer me" I yelled at the door.
I suddenly heard a thud on the floor. Then I heard a earth shattering scream. Identical to the one I heard earlier when Lizzie kissed me.
Suddenly I heard Miranda start to cry uncontrollably. I hated to hear her like this; I had to some how get her to listen to me. She had to understand that this was not my doing.
I banged on the door louder and continued to call her name and plead with her to open the door. By now Mrs. Sanchez was inquiring me on what happened today. I couldn't discus today's past events until I talked to the woman I loved.
I kept banging on the door but the louder I got the more Miranda cried louder and harder. I can't stand to hear her like this and me being helpless enough not to do anything about it.
"Miranda please answer me" I pleaded one more time before I slumped down onto the floor. It was obvious that she wasn't going to answer me.
I brought my knees up to my face and crossed my hands in them. I laid my face there and began to cry uncontrollably.
Mrs. Sanchez sat beside me and put her arm around me. "Gordo what's going on" she asked sweetly and softly. I just sat there still crying.
"Gordo look at me and tell me what's going on" she said lifting my face up to meet hers.
All I could do was cry. She wiped my tears away and looked at me for the answer. Before I knew it I was telling her everything. About how Lizzie started to kiss me, how Miranda saw what happened and how I chased her all the way home from school and that's why I was sitting here trying to get Miranda to talk to me.
All Mrs. Sanchez could do was shake her head.
I heard Miranda still in there crying and I couldn't leave until I talked to her and that's exactly what I told Miranda's mother.
She said she understood but she didn't think I would get a chance to talk to her today. She told me Miranda was too upset but I still had to try.
So there I sat in the hallway, in front of my love's door. Eventually I heard her stop crying and I decided to knock on the door again until she answered.
I tried knocking but I got no answer. So I sat there. For hours and hours trying to figure out how I got my self in this predicament.
I couldn't believe Lizzie just kissed me like that, right after she broke it off with Jason. And Jason was right there to witness everything. He probably doesn't even want to be my friend anymore after this.
What's worse is that the love of my life was there to witness the same tragedy.
I don't have any idea of what possessed Lizzie to do that. And the thing that scares me the most is that I think I kissed her back. My life is screwed. I swear if I lose Miranda over this nonsense I will never talk to Lizzie again.
I continued to sit there until Miranda's little sister Maria came out her room and sat in my lap. This was our little custom when ever I came over the house.
"Whas wrong Gordo" she asked in her baby voice. She was pretty smart to be only two.
"I think I messed up Maria. I hurt your sister's feelings pretty badly" I said.
"Are you sad" she asked.
"Yeah I'm pretty sad" I replied.
"Well I will sit here until you feel bettah" she said with a smile on her face.
"Okay" was all I could muster up.
After like five minutes of us sitting together Mrs. Sanchez walks up with none other than my mother behind her.
"There he is Rachel, he has been sitting there literally since this morning" she told my mom.
"Thanks Daniela" said my mom.
Maria ran into her mothers arms and they went down stairs. I guess they were waiting for Mr. Sanchez to come home.
"David it's time for you to come home sweetie" she said softly.
"Mom I can't leave until I talk to Miranda. She has to know that what happened today was not intentional.... at least on my part" I said seriously.
"I understand sweetie but you have been sitting here since 8:45 this morning. David it's six in the afternoon. Its time for you to come home" she said.
"Mom I have to try to talk to her, I can't leave things like this. Not like this" I said barely audible.
"David sometimes serious situations can't be resolved in the same day. Sometimes you have to wait until the other person is willing to resolve the situation with you. In this case Miranda is clearly upset. I got a call from the school today saying you two ran out of the building in a hurry. Then I called here to see what was going on and Miranda's mother told me everything. David this is not going to be resolved tonight, I think it is best that you come home and clean your self up and wait until tomorrow to talk to Miranda" she said in her 'you better do what I say' tone of voice.
"Besides I think Mrs. Sanchez has been more than patient with you today" she said.
I sat there soaking everything my mom had just said to me in. Everything she said made perfect sense. I just was not ready to give up on Miranda quite yet.
"Honey" she said looking at me to try to figure out what was going on in my head.
After deliberating my decision for a while I told my mom that I would be downstairs and to give me a few minutes alone.
I stood up and looked at the closed door that was facing me. This was the first time in a long time that I have been this long without Miranda by my side. It was a crushing realization.
I stood there for a second and rubbed the door. "I will always love you Miranda whether you know it our not". I kissed the door and walked down the steps to meet my mother so we could go home.

MIRANDA'S POV
I awake the next morning with my eyes feeling really sore. I looked around and I noticed that my door was open.
My father must have opened the door with his key while I was sleeping. I looked at my clock; it was 6:45 am. I couldn't believe that I had sleep that long. I guess I really was exhausted and emotionally drained yesterday.
I just realized that I had on my pajamas. My mom must have changed me out of my clothes last night when my dad opened the door.
I got up and went to the bathroom.
After washing my face and brushing my teeth I went downstairs to grab something to eat.
My parents weren't up yet so it had to be Saturday. I grabbed a pop tart out the top shelf and grabbed some milk out of the refrigerator. I sat on the couch and started to watch cartoons.
I needed anything to get my mind off of yesterday's events.
I heard the paper boy throw the newspaper on the front step. I walked outside to retrieve the paper with the current events in it. I bent down and was intrigued by the headline news that I didn't hear or see him.
When I got back up I was face to face with the last person I wanted to see.
"Hey Miranda can we please talk" he asked.
All I could do was just stare at him. "Sure Gordo. I guess we need to get this over with" I said sarcastically.
Hope you guys like. The next chapter will be up soon.
