A/N: Thanks for the reviews! Here's the next chappie, there's not many chapters left, I can't believe my first multi-chapter story is so close to being done.

The Prince You Charmed

Chapter 14: Adding Another

After much persuading, of both Lizzie's and Miranda's parents, they finally agreed to let their daughters miss a second day of school, and spend it at the hospital. Pacing had been the biggest part of the day so far, and Lizzie had given that up and was know seated gracefully in a chair. Miranda continued to pace.

"Miranda! Please, sit down. You're making me nervous," Lizzie complained. Miranda stopped, mid-step, and faced Lizzie.

"I'm making you nervous? I'm making you nervous? Shouldn't Gordo be making you nervous?" Miranda replied, shrilly.

Lizzie returned it with a small smile. "Of course, I'm nervous about that too, but you aren't helping anyone by pacing like a rabid animal."

Miranda nodded. "I supposed you're right."

"When am I not?"

The dark haired girl simply gave Lizzie sideways glance from the chair that she had just seated herself in. Lizzie shrugged. "Okay, I take it back."

Miranda nodded in satisfaction. "So," she began, trying the think of something to say, and when she came to the realization that she had nothing to say, she simply shrugged, "I don't know what I wanted to say," she told Lizzie.

Lizzie slouched down in her chair, becoming increasingly tired. "I really wish something interesting would happen, hospitals are boring."

"Yeah, but better boring than bad."

Lizzie scrunched her nose at Miranda's words, a signal that they hadn't really made sense. Despite that, Lizzie knew what she meant by the words. "Yeah, you're right."

Miranda nodded, smugly. "Of course." Lizzie responded with an eye roll, but remained silent. The two were quiet for awhile. Both were about to doze off when they heard a dainty cough signal for their attention. The two girls snapped their heads up and were met with the face of Kate Saunders.

Lizzie smiled, "Hey Kate, what are you doing here?"

Kate shrugged, taking a seat beside Lizzie. "I heard about Gordo's accident. It's all over school, after your little fight with Ryan at the Digital Bean last night, it spread like wild fire. You know how it goes."

Lizzie and Miranda both nodded. Kate continued to talk, "And about that fight, I'm glad you ditched him. You deserve better."

Lizzie nodded. "Thanks, Kate."

Kate shrugged. "Sure. So, Miranda, how have you been?" Kate questioned, trying to make small talk with her former friend. Miranda simply shrugged, and Kate nodded.

"Yeah, I guess I'm not really someone you want to talk to right now," Kate said, knowing that Miranda disliked her even more than Lizzie had. Kate began to stand to leave when Miranda began to talk.

"No, Kate, sit. It's not that, it's just weird. I haven't had a decent conversation with you for a long time."

"I know, and I'm sorry."

Miranda nodded. The two girls smiled at each other and Lizzie smiled to herself. Maybe they'd actually start to get along now.

"So," Kate started, "What's the whole deal with Gordo, and Ryan, and the like."

After filling Kate in, which took close to an hour, the three girls began to ease into other conversations. Following the conversations, a comfortable silence fell across the three. Kate glanced up at a clock across from them, hanging on the hospital wall.

"I should go," she began, "I have cheerleading at 3:30."

Lizzie nodded, as did Miranda. "Okay, we'll see you around."

Kate nodded. "Okay, and if Gordo wakes up, tell him I wish him the best. Oh, and Lizzie, good luck with everything."

"Thanks, Kate."

Kate smiled and began to walk away before Lizzie called out her name again. "If you ever want to eat lunch with us, we'll keep a spot open for you."

Kate's smile brightened. "Thanks," she said simply, before turning on her heels and leaving the hospital.

After she was out of sight Lizzie looked at Miranda. "Human Kate, it's pretty weird, isn't it?"

"Very weird," Miranda agreed, "But nice."


Kate left the hospital and stepped out into the bright sunshine. Placing her sunglasses over her eyes, she began to walk. When the news of Gordo's accident had hit her she had been nothing less than shocked. Although, it made sense to her, because she had noticed the amigo's absence from school, she never would have thought of a car accident.

Gordo had been one of her closest friends when she had been younger, and she felt remorse at the possibility that he would never wake up. Kate rubbed her temples and tried to remember the last words she had said to Gordo. She couldn't bring them back into her mind though, but she hoped that, if the worst came out of this situation, that the words spoken hadn't been to horrible.

She was proud of Lizzie though. Breaking up with Ryan had defiantly been the right thing to do. Although it had taken Lizzie way to long to realize it, she still had. Kate smiled slightly at the next thought that entered her mind. Lizzie was in love with Gordo. And Gordo was in love with Lizzie.

Lost in her thoughts, Kate hadn't noticed that she bumped into a tall figure for a few seconds. She looked up.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Ethan. I wasn't paying any attention," she sincerely apologized.

Ethan shrugged simply. "Not a prob. So, what brings you out here?"

"I was at the hospital, visiting Gordo."

Ethan nodded. "I was just going to do the same. Hopefully he'll be okay, I mean, he was awesome."

Kate smiled. She was slightly surprised with how, well, normal, Ethan was acting. She began to wonder, if in fact, it was really Ethan Craft.

After a few seconds of silence, Ethan looked down at Kate. "Um, Kate?"

"Yeah, Ethan?"

"Um, I think it's really great that you already went to see Gord-on, and stuff. But-uh- do you think you could, like, walk me there? Cuz I kinda forgot where the hospital was."

Kate began to laugh. Oh yeah, defiantly the same Ethan. She smiled at him. She could go without cheerleading practice for one day. "Sure, Ethan. Let's go."


"Miranda, I feel horrible right now," Lizzie stated.

Miranda shook her head, confused. "Why?"

"Do you know what the last thing I said to Gordo was? I told him I didn't care about him. What if he never wakes up? I could lose Gordo and the last thing I said to him what that I didn't care about him."

"Lizzie, Gordo is going to be just fine. Don't worry about it. But, he might not talk to you for a little while, he seemed pretty steamed when he left the Digital Bean. Ya, know. Just wanted to give you a fair warning."

"Thanks, Miranda. You're really making me feel a whole lot better," Lizzie said, sarcastically.

Miranda shrugged. "Sorry. Just stating a fact."

"I know. I really messed up, didn't I?"

Miranda nodded. "Yeah, but Gordo loves you, he really does. He's bound to forgive you sooner or later."

Lizzie returned the nod. "I just hope he wakes up soon," Lizzie told Miranda. Miranda once again nodded, signaling that she felt the same way.

The two girls stayed in the hospital for only awhile longer, before their parents insisted they get home, so that they could go to school the next day. The thought of school depressed Lizzie, she didn't want to go and face all the pathetic looks people would be giving her.

Kate and Ethan showed up just as the McGuire's and Sanchez's were leaving the ICU. Both Kate and Ethan gave a small wave, which both Lizzie and Miranda returned.

The next few days would definitely be interesting, to say the least.
