Chapter 2. Everybody hurts

A song started playing in Gordo's radio. He opened his eyes and smiled at the sight of the blonde head. Matt was already up. Lizzie moaned and opened her eyes too.
"I'm gonna take a shower", he said. She nodded, sleepy and listened to the song.
"Dear Diary,
Today I saw a boy and I wondered if he noticed me. He took my breath away.
Dear Diary,
I can't get him off my mind and it scares me 'cause I've never felt this way.
No one in this world knows me better than you do, so diary I'll confide in you.
Dear Diary,
Today I saw that boy as he walked by I thought he smiled at me, and I wondered
does he know what's in my heart? I tried to smile, but I could hardly breathe.
Should I tell him how I feel or would that scare him away. Diary, tell me what
to do. Please tell me what to say.
Dear Diary,
One touch of his hand. Now I can't wait to see that boy again. He smiled and I
thought my heart could fly"
"Liz? You there?", he asked. She shook her head.
"Sorry…", she said.
"Diary, do you think that we'll be more than
friends? I've got feeling we'll be so much more than friends"
She smiled at him and the phone rang. He picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Gordo!", Miranda's voice said.
"Hey, Randa. Wanna talk to Lizzie?"
"No, it's ok. I was wondering… if we could do something. Just the two of us"
"Uhm… yeah, I guess it's okay…"
"Great! Movies at 17.00?"
"S-Sure"
"Bye!" she hung up, he stared at the phone.
"You ok?", Lizzie asked him. He nodded. "Hey, I don't have much clothes, can I borrow some of yours?" he nodded again and gave her a baby-blue t-shirt with black boxers. "Thanks! You're so sweet" she gave him a quick peck on the cheek then got in the bathroom. He closed his eyes. 15 minutes later, she got out and stared at him. He was still with his eyes closed. She clapped a few times and he finally opened them.
"Wh-What?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to see your eyes" she smiled and went down with Matt, who was watching the tv. "Hey bro"
"Hey sis", he said.
"Wanna go to the movies later?", she asked him.
"SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS!"
"Ew! I was thinking 'bout… "Meet the Focker's". We'll leave Square Bob for another time…" he laughed. "What?"
"It's Sponge Bob", he said. "Yah, sure… is Gordo coming?" she shook her head.
"I think him and Miranda are doing something…"
"Don't you feel left out?"
"Not till now!", Animated Lizzie said.
Lizzie shook her head. "No, it's okay… why should I?"
"If Lanny and Melina would do something alone, I would", he stated.
"Well, that's different", she said.
"Why?"
"Because… 'you like Melina!'", she sang.
"Ew! I so do not!"
"Yes, you do! Actually, I think you're a pretty good couple. Wanna invite her to the movies? My treat!" he nodded and ran to the phone. She laughed a little. Gordo came down and sat next to her. She sniffed. "Uhm… is that cologne? Whom are you trying to impress, Mr. Gordon?" he evaded her look. "Can you walk me home? I need to get some stuff"

Later, at lunch:

"Did you have a good night?", Roberta asked them.
"Actually, I dreamt of lightning's, or something like that", Matt said. Roberta and Howard smiled.
"We took some pictures", he explained.
"You looked so adorable!", she added. "This is going for your photo album, David!"
"You have one?", Lizzie asked. He nodded. "Can I see it?"
"Yah, sure… they're all from us…", he said.
"That's so cool!"

After lunch:

Lizzie's watching the album, they heard a knock and Gordo opened. Miranda came in.
"Hola!", she said. She was wearing a black mini-skirt with a red tube top.
"Got a date, Randa?", Lizzie inquired. "Hot choices!"
"Thanks!" she looked at Lizzie's outfit and smiled.
"Yeah, I know… not too fashionable… Gordo, I'm going to take a shower" he nodded and she went up. Shortly after, Gordo and Miranda left and Melina arrived. Lizzie got out of the bathroom wearing a short cute baby-pink dress. Her hair was curled.
"Trying to impress somebody, sis?", Matt inquired. She smiled.
"Not as much as you are, bro. Let's go" they went to the movies, bought some popcorn, candies and sodas and got in. Matt sat in the middle. "By the way, Matt, nice cologne" he glared her and Melina laughed.
"Aren't those Gordo and Miranda?", Melina pointed. Matt nodded and watched his sister frown. Miranda placed her head on Gordo's shoulder and Lizzie stood up.
"I-I'm feeling kinda sick", she lied. "I'm going to the Gordon's" she left. Matt felt sorry for her. As soon as she walked out, Gordo and Miranda kissed. Matt felt anger boiling his blood and threw them some popcorn. They stopped immediately and looked up, Matt glared them and went out, Melina followed him.
"We should go find Lizzie", she said. He nodded.
"You're a girl. Is she really at Gordon's?" she shook her head.
"The last place she could ever be. Let's try at the Digital Bean", Melina suggested. They went there and found her in a table with Tudgeman.
"Tudge!", he yelled and they went over there.
"What happened with the movie?", Lizzie inquired.
"We got bored", Melina quickly said. "And he started throwing popcorn to the people, so we got kicked out" Lizzie nodded. Melina was a great liar.
"We thought you were at Gordo's-" Melina elbowed him.
"Omigosh!", Lizzie laughed. "You thought I like Gordo?!" Everybody in the Digital Bean turned at them and nodded. "Ew! That's so weirdo! He's my best friend!" none of them believed her.
"Matt, I've got the Dwarf Lord videogame, wanna come?", Larry asked. He nodded and they left. Lizzie sighed and Melina hugged her.
"I just… never thought they could like each other…" she started to sob. "At least one of them could've told me!" Ethan and Kate came in.
"Liz-zay? Weren't you at the movies kissing with Gor-don?", he asked. Lizzie froze.
"No, Ethan. That was Miranda", Kate corrected with an evil smirk. Lizzie got up and ran out of the Digital Bean. Melina got up too, she slapped Kate and ran after Lizzie. They went to Gordo's.

"When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone"

AN2: Life's new chapters coming up tomorrow or the day after that! Just my bad memory!
