Chapter 6. Valley of bad news

Previously:
"Liz-zay? What's wrong?"
"Dave likes Isabella..." she threw herself in Ethan's arms, both thinking 'I can't believe how good this feels...'.
"But... I've just been heartbroken, then... why does my ex-boyfriend's arms feel so good?", she asked herself.
Isabella came.
"Lizzie? What is wrong?", she asked.
"You're such a b-tch! You were seing him behind my back, right?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Dave!", Lizzie exclaimed.
"All I know about him is that you totally ditched me for being with him!", Isabella snapped.
"So you took it bad and flirted with him!". she snapped back.
"I cannot believe you!", Isabella exclaimed.
"I thought you were my friend! What's the real reason you came?"
"To be with you!"
"I said the real reason!"
"Okay, do you want to know it? I AM DYING!" Lizzie stared at her, pale. "I have cancer!", she left running, Lizzie went after her. "Leave me alone!", she cried.
"I can't, and I won't", she stated. "Even though I don't know you that well, you're still my twin. My other half. I can't think of living without you" they hugged. "H-How long?"
"They don't know exactly"
"Aren't there any treatments? Like Chemotherapy?"
"I do not want to be bald and pale, nor throwing up all the time. It would be just more suffering"
"Does your family know?"
"Si", she answered. 'What family?'
"I can't believe I was just yelling at you for some guy I don't even like..."
"It's okay..."
"No, it's not. You go to sleep everyday thanking God for everything, while I go to sleep feeling pity for my life! That's so not okay!" Isabella smiled.
"Doesn't matter. Let's go back and, please, do not tell anybody"
"I won't. Ethan knows too"
"Certo. Call him" Ethan comes. "Please, do not tell anybody"
"Sure..."
"Let's go, Bella", Lizzie said. They left. Ethan stared at Lizzie leaving.
"Be strong, man!", he told himself.

FLASHBACK: DAY 2

Lizzie's Pov:
"Kate?"
"Yah?", she asked.
"Do you-" they hear a knock.
"I'll get it!" she opens the door a little and closes it again. "Uhm... I gotta leave" she puts on (more) makeup and leaves. The door opens.
"Hey, Liz-zay. Have you seen Gor-don?"
"Nope" Kirsten and Savanna come. "Hey"
"Hi", Kirsten said.
"Where's Kate?", Ethan asked.
"She just left"
"Bye", he leaves too.

Ethan's Pov:
"Poor Lizzie... she doesn't deserve this..." I call Kate to her cellphone.
"Hallo?"
"Kate, lemme talk to Gordo"
"How'd you- here"
"Hello?", Gor-don said.
"Gor-dom, man. What are you doing?"
"What do you ean?"
"Kate?"
"Wait... See, Lizzie feels nothing for me. Kate does"
"And what 'bout you?"
"...I-... I don't know... I'm tired of waiting"
"But you never told her anything!"
"Listen, Lizzie can be naive and clueless, but she's more than she seems. She knows it"
"Could it be?..."
"All I know is you have to talk to her"
"Sorry, but I gotta go" he hangs up.
"Why is this bothering so much? What if...?"

Gordo's Pov:
"Gordo?", Kate said.
"Yah?"
"Are you okay?"
"Yah" I lean in and kiss her.
"Cute"

"Who's Gordo?", a redhead girl asked.
"My best friend", Lizzie said.
"Do you... like him?", the brunette inquired.
"I dunno..." I open the door.
"Hey Liz"
"Hey. Gordo, this are Kirsten and Savanna. Girls, this is Gordo"
"Hi!", they said in unison.
"Hey. Listen, Liz, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure. Where?"
"The rooftop" We go.
"So?", she asked me.
"I-" Kate comes.
"Hey Gordo!... hey Lizzie"
"Hey. Listen, I gotta go. Kiki and Vannie are waiting" she leaves.
"Hey, ready for our date?" Kate nods. "Let's go, babe"

No one's Pov:
Lizzie's bedroom:

"So?", Kirsten asked.
"Nothing happened", Lizzie said.
"What can we do today?", Savanna asked.
"Let's go to Ethan's room", Lizzie suggested. They go, she knocks.
"Hey! Come in!" they do. "Hey ladies!"
"Hi!", Lizzie said.
"Liz-zay, Liz-zay, Liz-zay... looking stunning!"
"Thanks! Hey, what can we do today?"
"Why don't we all go for a walk, dude?", Ethan asked. She giggled.
"Sweet", she said.
"Shibbi. Let's go" he leaves the room first.
"What was all that 'sweet' and 'shibbi' thing?", Kirsten asked.
"And 'dude'", Savanna added. Lizzie giggled adain.
"That's our fav movie. Let's go, girls!"

End of flashback.

Next day, at school:

"Hey, guys", Lizzie said. Kirsten, Savanna Gordo and Kate stared at her.
"Hey Liz", Ethan said. "How ya holdin'?" She smiles at him.
"Fine, thanks"
"Are you two dating again?", Savanna inquired.
"No!"; they both exclaimed and blushed.
"Too quick answer!"
"Guys, I'm sorry for how I treated you this last couple of days..."
"Most exactly, how you didn't treat us", Kirsten snapped.
"What happened? Did 'Dave' dump you?", Savanna added. Lizzie looked down. "He did? Omigosh, I'm so sorry..." she and Kirsten hugged her.
"Thanks, guys", she said.
"Kate? Gordo?", Kirsten inquired.
"Well, she did totally ditch us...", Kate said.
"I guess she deserved it", Gordo agreed. Isabella exploded.
"Scusa? Nobody deserves that! He told her he liked me!" Lizzie ran to the bathroom crying.
"She ditched you too!", Kate said.
"In that case, I guess I'm wiser than you two" Isabella snapped and went after Lizzie.
"What's wrong with them?", Gordo asked.
'If only you knew...', Ethan thought.
"What's wrong with you two?", Savanna inquired.
"I thought you were friends since babies!", Kirsten added. They went to the bathroom, Ethan stared at them.
"Whatever!", Gordo said. "Why don't you go after them?"
"Cuz they're in the girls bathroom", Ethan said. Kate smiled. "What's wrong with you two?"
"I'm sick of that sh-t, you know?", Gordo said. "She always does something, then apollogies and we have to forgive her!" Lizzie got out of the bathroom, looked at them with her eyes all red and puffy and ran to the other side of the school.
"Bye", Ethan said. He ran after her "Liz!"
"Why can't they just... be my friends?", she asked him with tears in her eyes. "Sure, they don't know about Bella, but still..." Ethan hugged her. 'Please, don't do this to me... again'
'You're irresistible', he thought.
She pulled appart. "Ethan, please. We can't let this happen. I mean, it's obvious I never got over that crush on you, and our feelings are still alive, but I don't wanna be hurt anymore... Can we just... stay as friends?" he nodded.
"Sure" the bell rang.

"Gordo, when are you gonna tell them?", Kate inquired.
"Today", he said.
