I picked up the phone and dialed Gordo's work number. I waited a minute before he picked up.
"Hello, David Gordon speaking," he answered.
"Gordo, it's me, Lizzie," I said.
"Lizzie! What's up?" Gordo said happily. Ethan obviously hadn't told him what was happening. Well, I was about to.
"Gordo, I don't believe this. Ethan's leaving me. I know we'd been fighting for a while, but we had worked things out. The marriage counselors said we were doing really well, and then he just leaves me. He won't even stay for Adrienne. He promised he'd always be part of her life, but he says he can't be married to me anymore," I said upset.
"Lizzie, I'm so sorry," Gordo replied. "Is there anything I can do? Do you want to come down to the office? You can bring Adrienne if she's home."
I couldn't believe he was acting as if nothing had happened. I knew he knew what happened. Why was he bothering to pretend like he didn't know?
"No, I'm fine," I lied, wondering if Gordo would say anything.
"Are you sure? Did he say what happened? You guys have been so close lately," Gordo said, and I must admit, he was convincing. If I hadn't known what was going on, I probably would have believed him.
"I know, we have been close, but he said there was someone else, but he wouldn't say who. I have no idea who it could be. You two have been talking a lot lately, do you know who it could be?" I asked, trying to catch him.
"No, I have no idea who it could be. Lizzie, you're my best friend, you know I would have told you if I did," Gordo said.
I just couldn't take it anymore. "Gordo, I hate you! I can't believe you would do this to me!"
"Do what?" Gordo asked, trying to sound innocent.
"Gordo, you know what I'm talking about, Ethan told me everything. He told me that you're both gay, and that you've been sleeping together for the past four months. Gordo, I don't believe you. You knew how much this would hurt me. You were supposed to be my best friend," I yelled.
Gordo looked at me shocked. He never thought I would figure this out, and apparently Ethan didn't either.
