Chapter 11: Help From the Most Unlikely Places

Gordo stared in disbelief at the figure in front of him. "Listen, Gordon, you owe Miranda an apology," Kate said, her eyes shining. "Since when do you care about Miranda?" Gordo asked. "Since she bawled her eyes out over you," Kate answered setting her hands on her hips.

"Listen, I don't see how I owe Miranda an apology," Gordo said as he made his way down the street, eager to get away from Kate. "I never knew you could be such a jerk, Gordo," Kate said walking after him, "you always seemed like such a nice guy."

"How was I a jerk?" Gordo asked spinning around to face her. "Miranda basically tells you she's madly in love with you and all you do is tell her that you love Lizzie. She tried to help you so you wouldn't go and get your heart broken, and all you do to thank her is break her heart. Then you go to the very person she was warning you about and makeout with her.

"Were you even considering Miranda's feelings? No. All you cared about was Lizzie, a girl who doesn't even notice you. Don't you realize how she takes you for granted, Gordo?" Kate cried to him.

Gordo just stood there in utter shock. Kate, KATE was trying to help him and Miranda. "Listen," Kate continued in a softer tone, "Lizzie loves you, she just- she just doesn't realize it yet. She's completely clueless to her own feelings. Miranda knows that she loves you, she's willing to do anything to make you feel the same.

"You think your madly in love with Lizzie and would be hurting her if you tried to love anyone else, but the only person your hurting is yourself.

"Trying for Lizzie's love is like trying to see the sun on a cloudy day, your wasting your time. Miranda's love is right in front of you, she's just waiting for you to take it. Do you and Miranda a favor, and give her a chance at least," Kate ended finally. "Kate, if all of this is true, than why hasn't Miranda just told me herself?" Gordo asked trying to ignore the truth in the statements Kate had just made.

"Oh gosh, Gordo. How could you be so blind? Miranda has been telling you all this for the past two weeks. You've just been too caught up in Lizzie to notice," Kate answered setting her hands on her hips.

For a minute Gordo just stood there staring at Kate. Why is she doing this? he thought to himself. "Kate, love is blind to those kinds of things," Gordo said shaking his head. "I knew love was blind but I never knew it was stupid too," Kate said angrily.

Gordo stood there trying to sort out all the things that had happened in the past few weeks when Kate spoke up. "Lizzie, is a good person," Kate sighed, "but, she's a little slow when it comes to confessing her feelings. If you plan on going your whole life pining for her while she sorts out her feelings fine. But if you want love now, you know what to do."

With that said, she walked off leaving Gordo waiting for answers.
