Chapter Thirty Three

A/N: I am soooooo sorry I didn't update sooner. I've got school now, so the updates are probably going to be about once a week or once every two weeks.

This chapter isn't very good, because I am very tired and this isn't my best efforts.

Chapter Thirty Three

"Okay, pick one, Jason Ketellaper or Daniel Carter," Natalie said.

Lizzie shook her head. "Neither," she answered.

"I know, neither of them are that good looking," Natalie agreed. She rabbed another slice of pizza from the box that was sitting on the coffee table and took a bite.

She and Lizzie had been talking for hours, pigging out on pizza and junk food while talking endlessly. Gordo and Brooke were upstairs doing God-knows-what. All they knew was that there was giggling involved. Natalie knew this because she had gone upstairs to get a magazine from her room.

"So tomorrow," Lizzie began, "What do you wanna do? Movies or amusement park?" She licked her sticky fingers, then took a sip of her soda.

"Hmm," Natalie thought for a moment and rubbed her nose. "How 'bout both?" she asked.

"We can totally do that!" Lizzie smiled, and they both started giggling. "We can go the amusement park in the morning, til like, seven or something, then go see the movie."

"Yeah, that'd be great!"

Suddenly, they both heard Gordo and Brooke pounding down the stairs.

"David, she's really sick, I have to go visit her," Brooke said to Gordo, "As soon as possible."

"Okay, Brooke, go," Gordo told her.

Lizzie turned around and watched the couple going on about whoever they were talking about. She glanced at Natalie, who just shrugged her shoulders and stuffed a chip in her mouth. Lizzie stood up, smoothed out her jeans, smiled, and said "Hey. What's...up?"

Gordo and Brooke turned around. Both of them had frustrated looks on their faces. Brooke was the one to answer first.

"Well," she began, "My mother has this cancer and it's getting worse, so I want to go back to San Francisco and visit her."

Lizzie stood in her place with a puzzled look on her face and her hands on her hips. "So...go," she finally replied, a tiny smile playing on her lips.

"Well, I've got this huge job interview this week, and I really need the job," Brooke explained with a worried look on her face. She reached up and ran her hand through her dark brown hair, then glanced at her husband.

"Go," Lizzie and Natalie told her in unison.

Gordo, who had been standing silent during this, finally spoke up. "Brooky, I really think you should go, what if something really horrible happens to your mom? Just asking if you can do the interview another time or something," Gordo told his wife. He placed his hand on her arm.

Natalie sighed from the couch, then whispered to Lizzie, "When Dad calls Brooke 'Brooky' it means he wants to make out."

Lizzie giggled a small fake giggle. Deep down, she was slightly jealous that Gordo wanted to kiss another woman. After all, they did have a daughter together.

They both looked back at Gordo and Brooke, who were now leaning against the wall, kissing.

Natalie made a disgusted face, then stood up. "I'm uh-gonna go call..." she said vaguely, her gaze slowly turning back to the lip locking couple, "Call my boyfriend," she finished, the walked out of the room.

Lizzie clicked her tongue, then decided to go read a book in her room, then left to do so.

Gordo and Brooke seperated a few minutes later, but stayed in each other's arms.

"When are you going to leave?" Gordo asked, panting slightly.

"A few days," Brooke answered, then licked her lips. "I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed. G'night," she said, gave Gordo a quick kiss, then let go of him and walked out of the room, a bounce in her step.

Gordo remained in his spot and sighed loudly. Lizzie looked nice tonight, he thought to himself as he started cleaning up Natalie and Lizzie's mess of snacks that they had left. She smelled good, too, when I sat beside her at dinner.

He turned off the light, put the leftover junk food away, then slowly walked up the stairs to bed.
