Chapter Ten

A/N: Hey! I know the last chapters weren't all that good, but whatever. I'm going to skip ahead to a later part in the story where Gordo actually leaves....so this chapter is gonna be a little L/G. So yeah.

Important: Oh, yeah, and I REALLY need some help with something. When you guys review, could you do me a huge moochola (luv that word if it even is one) favor and when (or if) you review, could ou please tell me what names you like for either a boy or a girl? Cuz I can't think of baby names. When this story first started out, I had a name chosen, but then I realized that I already had used it somewhere, and I don't like using the same thing over and over again. So could ou please do that if you review? Tell me the names you like for a girl or a boy. I am not going to tell the gender of the baby! I already have it picked out, I just need a name! So if ou could do that for me, that would be greatly appreciated! It's kinda like a contest! So yeah.......

Chapter Ten

A few months later...

RIIIING.

"Leave me alone," Lizzie grumbled. She grabbed another pillow and stuffed her head under it.

Today was the day.

And Lizzie knew it.

Gordo was moving.

He was leaving Hillridge.

Lizzie rolled over and looked at her alarm clock. The time was 8:38.

She sat up and looked around her room. She hadn't spoken to Gordo for a week. Gordo had been busy packing, and Lizzie's family had come over to visit.

She looked down at her stomach. Her stomach was getting pretty round. She still didn't know what Gordo thought about the baby.

Oh, man, Lizzie thought. Gordo's leaving at nine. I better hurry and get to his place to say goodbye to him...

She jumped out of bed and took a shower. She got out and changed into a red t-shirt and black track pants. She bunched her hair up and pulled it into a loose ponytail. Then she ran downstairs out the door.

She approached Gordo's house and found him watching two huge moving men load the van with his stuff.

"Gordo!" Lizzie gasped, out of breath.

He turned around. "Hey."

"I just came...to say goodbye."

"Oh...kay," Gordo said. He was staring at her.

"What?" Lizzie asked.

"N-nothing..."

"David!" Gordo's mother called from the car, "Come on! We're leaving now."

"Just a sec," Gordo told her. He turned his attention back to Lizzie.

"Look, Gordo, I don't have much time," Lizzie said to him, "My parents want to take us to some stupid museum in some other city, and we have to leave at ten."

"Um, okay..."

The two just stood there in an awkward silence.

"I'm going to miss you, Gordo," Lizzie finally spoke up.

"I'm going to miss you, too."

"Call me, okay?"

"Yeah."

"This is gonna suck, I mean, imagine living a life without knowing your father," Lizzie said, referring to the baby.

"Yeah," Gordo whispered.

"DAVID!" Roberta screeched.

"I-I gotta go..." Gordo said, "But I don't want to."

"I don't want you to, either," Lizzie said, forcing back tears.

"Bye..."

"Bye."

Gordo started walking toward his dad's car when Lizzie grabbed onto his shirt and turned him around.

"Best friends forever," Lizzie told him before placing a kiss on his lips.

The kiss only lasted a few seconds before Gordo's mother screamed at him again. He pulled away and whispered, "Best friends forever."

Lizzie smiled.

Gordo smiled back.

And then he turned around and got into his car, after taking one last glance at his best friend.

Lizzie watched the car and the moving van pull out of the driveway, and then disappear down the street. Once they turned the corner, Lizzie turned around and trudged back home.

That's it, she thought to herself, He's gone...
