I was originally only going to make this a one shot deal. But I got some very nice reviews and some very nice emails about making more to this story. So I decided to make it a small three part story or a three chapter story you might say. So here is the second installment of the story.I hope you like it.If you do please leave a review and tell me if I should add the third chapter or not.
Disclaimer -I own nothing from Lizzie McGuire nor Touched By An Angel. I just borrowed a few characters from each.
Rating-PG I guess
Title-Looking In On Her
Gordo was standing outside the bedroom window of Lizzie home just looking in at her. Right now he found himself watching her while she was sitting in front of her night stand getting ready for bed. She had been sitting there for the whole last hour looking into the mirror and softly brushing her long blonde hair. There was nothing in this world or in his case his after life that Gordo would have liked to have done more than to stand behind her and run his hands through that long beautiful blond hair of hers. But he knew that because of the fact that he was now dead and only here in spirit form that could never happen. For when he came and visited her the first time after his death he had tried to touch her to feel her in his arms. But to his dismay he had found that when he touched her his hands would simply just pass right through her body and she had no clue that he was even there.
"Being dead, noncorporeal and having the person you love most in this world and the one after it,not being able to see or hear you sure does suck rocks." Gordo muttered to himself as he watch Lizzie put down her brush and stare at something on the night stand. Gordo was a little surprised but happy when he saw the small smile begin to spread across Lizzie face.
Ever since his death five years ago Gordo couldn't help but notice how Lizzie had always seemed to be so sad and depressed all the time. It was the main reason he kept coming back here to check up on her night after night.Gordo knew he was breaking some serious rules by being back here on the mortal plane but he cared to much for Lizzie to not be here to help her through her pain.
Being very curious about what had made her so happy that she would actually smile like that, Gordo moved a little closer to the window. Gordo smiled a little himself when he realized what Lizzie had picked up and was now holding in her hand. It was the photo of his,Lizzie and Miranda high school graduation. The one that had him sandwiched in between his favorite two girls ,all three of them still wearing their caps and gowns and holding up their diplomas for everyone in the world to see.Gordo smile got bigger as he saw how happy Lizzie was getting from just looking at the photo and using her finger to trace the outline of his face.
Gordo could have spent all eternity standing there looking at that rare smile of Lizzie but his time was cut short by the two new arrivals he sensed behind him.
"Hello Tess, Monica" Gordo said in greeting to the two angels behind him but not turning around to look at them.
"David you do know your not suppose to be here, right?" asked Monica as she came to stand on one side of him while Tess came up on the other side. Both of them than joined Gordo in looking in through the bedroom window at Lizzie.
"Yeah Monica I know but I can't help but to come here and see her." said Gordo still watching Lizzie smile at the photo "How am I suppose to stay and be happy in heaven when I can still feel Lizzie in my heart. How can I stay up there when I can sense how miserable she is down here? I can't help but to come down here to look in on her from time to time."
"From time to time?" smirked Tess as she turned to look at Gordo "Sweetie you've came down here to be with her every night for the last five years. That's every night since your death."
"What can I say Tess?" said Gordo shrugging his shoulders sadly "She's in pain and needs help. Like I said I could sense that even from where I was up there." Gordo said while pointing up.
"David" sighed Monica shaking her head sadly "She will get over all of her grief one day, but you being here and your soul not being at peace is not helping her any."
"How can you say I'm not helping her Monica?" Gordo asked the angel with anger "Isn't that why we're here? Weren't we put here on Earth to help people?"
"Yes, David WE were put here on Earth to help people." said Tess sighing "But that is a job for US angels and like we told you the last time we were sent here to get you. You are not an angel you are a moved on soul." Tess gently took Gordo by the shoulders and turned him to face her "Monica is right about one thing Sugar. Lizzie may still be feeling her grief for you because deep down she can sense that you are not at peace. Lizzie will get over her grief for you in her own time and in her own way. There is nothing that you nor we can do to help her or make her get over it any faster. This is just something she has to go through on her own."
"I have to say I don't like this.This just leaving her alone here and letting her deal with this by herself." sighed Gordo.
"David" Monica said in that sweet and calm voice of hers "You of all people should know by now that Lizzie will never be truly alone. She will always have her family, her friends and even her guardian angel looking out for her. And not to mention that God is always keeping his eye on her."
Gordo not liking it but realizing that Monica and Tess were right turned back to look at Lizzie and than turned back to face the two angels.Gordo couldn't help but let a big smile cross his face before saying "Speaking of The Big Guy, did he send you two here to come fetch me and take me back home again?"
"Yes, he did David." said Tess as she put her hands on her hips and shot a glare at the young man uhhhh soul who was standing there next to her "And young man you know good and well he doesn't like it when people call him The Big Guy!"
"Oh yeah that's right." said Gordo smiling a little more but Gordo soon lost his smile when he turned to look at Lizzie for what might be the last time"Well Tess, Monica I guess it's time we started heading back home than."
"Don't worry Sugar you'll see her again soon." said Tess as she, Monica and Gordo started walking toward the bright white light that only they could see "Lizzie will be ok very soon and I have that on the utmost authority. And if all things go right in the future you and her should be reunited in ohh about fifty or so more years."
"Fifty years?" muttered Gordo shaking his head in dismay as he thought of the length of time he was going to have to wait before he was to be with the woman he loved again.
"Oh don't worry about the length of time David." said Monica as she wrapped her arm around one of Gordo arms while Tess took the other in her arm. As the three of them started to step into the white light Monica turned to Gordo and said "In heaven years tend to go by in seconds. These next fifty years will go by in a blink of an eye."
Upon hearing that little bit of info the soul once known on Earth as David Gordon got a huge smile on his face and stepped completely through the white light and along with the two angels Tess and Monica disappeared once again from our mortal plane.
