Chapter 4

"Mom, is there any explanation WHY Matt was on Laney's roof?" Lizzie asked as her mother drove to the hospital.

"According to the neighbors, Matt and Laney were sword-fighting on his roof when Laney hit Matt and he fell off. He will walk again; and he is grounded for one month after he can walk. He will have to be tutored in the hospital and isn't getting allowance until his grounding is over." Her mother replied.

"Thank god! He deserves it." Lizzie said under her breath.

"Excuse me, Elizabeth. One more phrase like that and you are grounded for tomorrow.

Lizzie sighed. "Ok mom. But I think that your punishment is fair." Lizzie said in a justicely sort of way (justicely is my own word means like justice.).

They were finally to the hospital. As they walked into the ER, all they could hear was a boy groaning loudly. He was distinguished as Matt.

"Mathew McGuire, stop groaning so loud. I'm screaming to let you hear me and the ladies at the front desk are wearing earplugs." His mom screamed.

Matt stopped groaning for a second and then started groaning even louder.

"Mom, this is crazy. I'm going outside to ditch that noise." Lizzie yelled.

"What?" her mother yelled.

"I said I'm going outside to ditch the noise!" Lizzie yelled, even louder.

"You're buying toys?" her mother asked stupidly as she came closer to Lizzie.

"I'm going outside to ditch the noise." Lizzie yelled.

Her mom cringed; signaling that Lizzie had been too loud.

"Ok, Lizzie!" her mother confirmed.

Lizzie walked out of the hospital to find Gordo's mom's car in the parking lot. Gordo got out of the car to see Lizzie.

"Lizzie! Why aren't you in with your brother? He did break his back." Gordo said matter-of-factly.

"It's too loud in there from my brother's groans. When I told my mom that I was going out. I had to try to tell her twice before being successful. The second time my mom thought I was buying toys." Lizzie said.

Gordo laughed, a natural boyish laugh; one that makes girls hearts melt away. Lizzie struggled to stop herself from giggling (like me) and was surprisingly successful. She could not smile, though.

"Well Lizzie. I'm going to write a note for your mom to read and you can come back to our place. Miranda is on her way, her boot got stuck in her car seat." Mrs. Gordon said as Miranda was walking towards them.

"I heard your entire conversation. Can I come over too, Mrs. Gordon? My already said it was ok.'' Miranda asked.

"Yes, Miranda dear." Mrs. Gordon said as the three Musketeers got in the Gordon's Mustang convertible.

When they got to Gordo's house, the group rushed to Gordo's room, which Miranda pointed out was very clean and tidy. Miranda pushed the details out of the new couple. Gordo explained it in full details as Lizzie added extra tidbits. Miranda thought is was romantic and fully wished for a boyfriend. "You guys are so lucky to have each other." She said sadly as she wished for a boyfriend in the pit of her heart.

"Miranda, you know that your knight in shining armor is coming soon. I know it's hard to have to waiting when your best friends have already found theirs," Lizzie said as she hugged her crying best friend. Gordo joined in the hug as Miranda continued to cry. She was happy, but jealous, of her friends' relationship. Miranda was still looking for a boy to go out with that isn't Ethan Craft.

Miranda pulled herself together as the group went downstairs to the kitchen to get sodas. Miranda had an orange soda and Lizzie and Gordo had separate sodas as not to piss Miranda off about the I-got-no-boyfriend-but- my-BFFs-do thing. They got popcorn and sat down to watch a movie.

At nine o'clock, the girls went home. When Lizzie left, she kissed Gordo on the cheek to not piss off Miranda or Mrs. Gordon.

When she left, her dad had just gotten home from the hospital. "I heard that you "escaped the noise" to hang out with your friends. Is that true?'' her father asked her interrogatingly.

"Please. It was so loud in there that mom at a time that I said that I was buying toys." Lizzie said.

Her father gave her an I'm-not-sure-of-that look as he left her alone. She took a shower and got ready for bed. She read a little from a book and then went to bed, wishing for another date with the super romantic Gordo.
