Hold On
Chapter 2 It's not you, it's me
"Oh hey sweetie, did Gordo drop you off?" Mrs. McGuire asked as Lizzie entered the kitchen
"No, he had to go. Miranda drove me home" Lizzie laid her elbows on the table and buried her head in her hands.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know, Gordo seemed upset before be left. I don't know what's wrong with him" she sighed "It's probably nothing, whatever it is I'm sure he'll tell me"
"Of course honey, oh who won the game?"
"Ugh, Christian County and someone fouled Ethan"
"Again? That boy needs to get a clue. After getting injured about every time he touches a football you'd think he would figure out that it's not for him"
Lizzie laughed "Aww Mom he's like our mascot, if we lose him football won't be as entertaining!"
Mrs. McGuire smiled and shook her head "Well, you better go to bed you must be tried"
Lizzie rolled her eyes "Sure"
"I mean it Lizzie, go to bed"
"Okay," she kissed her mom's cheek "g'night"
"Goodnight, sweetie"
~~~~~~~~~ school
"Gordo! What happened yesterday, I tried to call you all weekend, but no one would answer"
"I'm sorry babe, I was kinda busy, my parents...they wanted me to help them with.. stuff"
"Oh, well that's fine I guess. What did you guys do?"
"Nothing....just stuff..uh..., but what did you do? I'm much more interested in what you did on your weekend without me." He grinned, "Did you miss me?"
Lizzie sighed 'what was he hiding?' she thought but shrugged and smiled at him "Yes, but I was worried about you. I didn't hear from you in like three days you scared me"
"I said I'm sorry sweetie, I just wasn't able to call you. Forgive me?" he rolled his bottom lip.
Lizzie rolled his eyes and kissed his cheek "Yeah, yeah just don't do it again"
"Duh, you think I liked being away from my girlfriend?"
Lizzie laughed "I guess not" she hugged his waist, but he pulled back
"Oww Lizzie! Damn!" he put his hands on his chest bending over "Ow!"
"Gordo what happened?!"
He stood back up straight "Nothing, it's..uh.just a bruise, nothing"
"Oh? How'd it happen?"
"I just.uh...tripped....over this cord..uh..heh"
"Oh, my poor baby" she kissed him "I'm sorry, feel better?"
He smiled "Yeah" they kissed again and began making out against their lockers.
"HEY! McGuire Gordon, Separate!"
Lizzie and Gordo pulled apart halfway only to see who it was. As they turned their heads to see who it was Gordo rolled his eyes. 'Ms. Ungermeyer' He banged his head against the locker repeatedly, Lizzie laughed
"Is there something funny McGuire?"
"Oh no nothing" she answered between giggles
"Good, now get to class" she turned and walked away, Lizzie still laughing. Gordo turned to her
"I like it when you laugh"
"Me too" she smiled and kissed him once more.

Lizzie walked with Miranda to lunch where they met Gordo and Ethan. Lizzie rolled her eyes as Miranda grinned and drooled over Ethan
"Hey Ethan, is you leg feeling better?" Miranda asked. Ethan was using crutches and his right arm was in sling.
He hopped over to her and put his left arm around her shoulder. Miranda almost melted.
(AN: Ethan and Spanish.lol)
"I am moo-e been cheek-a Miranda. Grass-yass for thinking of me" Ethan made a face "That's how you say 'I'm good thanks, you're hot' right?"
Miranda laughed "Maybe you should stick to ONE language Ethan"
Lizzie pulled on Gordo's arm trying to lead them away, but before they could Ethan spoke up "Hey Gordon man! What was up with you Friday? Dude you where all down n' stuff what's up dude?"
"You do know 'dude' mean a hair on an elephants ass don't you?" Gordo said sarcastically
"Dude! That's sick, dude ugh!"
Gordo rolled his eyes
"But really man what was up? I know it can't be the shock of seeing me on a stretcher, by now I'd think you'd get used to it"
"Yep, weather a broken leg or a fractured toe Ethan will somehow get hurt on the football field" said Lizzie coving up for Gordo. She knew something was bothering him, and even though she wanted to know what it was she knew he wouldn't want to talk about it with Ethan of all people
"Oh yeah....wait....uh...HEY!" said Ethan realizing what she said "Hey!" he said again playfully banging her head
"Gordo, help! Protect me!" she yelled
"Hey, hey, hey, no one messes with Lizzie except me, got it?" he said taking her in his arms. She kissed his cheek and looked into his eyes, but he turned away.
"Hey," she whispered "What's wrong?"
He shrugged "Uhh...Ethan, did you bring the booze?"
Lizzie sighed putting her hand to her head 'Not that again' She watched Gordo and Ethan walk off, Miranda clinging to Ethan. 'What's wrong?.............Is it me?'
~~Hey sorry for the short chapter, I tried writing more honest I did! Lol, right know as I type, I'm typing over the 'once there' dialog between Lizzie and Gordo, that you will never see.lol. Or maybe you'll see it in the next chapter who knows. Well R/R! Hope you are enjoying this story!
