Chapter 5. Don't Speak
Gordo hit his forehead after Lizzie hung up.
'What was I thinking?' he thought. 'Now she'll hate me…'
He turned on his radio and put the volume up. He didn't want to think anymore.
"You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying...are we?
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't speak,
don't speak,
don't speak,
oh I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good,
I know you're good,
I know you're real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush
don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts"
'Is this how she feels? …Probably … I'm so stupid…'
His phone rang, and he jumped a little but picked it up.
"Hello?" he said.
"…"
"Who is it?"
"…Lizzie," she replied.
"Oh…" he said. Awkward silence. "So, um… why did you call?"
"Omigosh, Gordo, I know it's not right, but Miranda doesn't pick up and… it's storming. Could you come over?" he thought for a second. "I mean… I just need somebody here with me… I hate storms"
"Uhm, yeah, sure. I guess it's alright… I mean, you're my best friend, I'll go help you," he finally said.
"Thanks, Gordo… hurry, please. I'm home alone" he heard a click. The line went dead.
'Oh, God… What have I gotten myself into?' Gordo thought, as he drove to her house. 'It really is storming…' He arrived and knocked. Lizzie opened and let him in. They were sitting in the living, in front of the fireplace, and they heard a thunder. Lizzie squealed a little and he squeezed her hand, not feeling comfortable with hugs anymore, but she hid into his arms, crying lightly. He stroke her hair softly, and she calmed down a little.
"Lizzie…" he started. She stopped him, a hurt look in her eyes.
"Gordo, I don't think I'm ready to talk… You're great and I love you, but as a friend… I- It doesn't feel right, you know?" she asked him, looking down. He nodded slowly, not knowing what to do, and got up. "Where are you going?"
"Uhm… home?" he said.
"No, please, stay… I don't wanna be alone tonight…" she pouted. He nodded and helped her go up to her room. He started to go to Matt's, but she stopped him.
"What?" he asked.
"You can stay here… for one night, it's okay" he nodded, and she moved to a side. He got next to her. A few minutes later, she fell asleep. He stood awake, watching her.
End of chapter.
"I can see it in your eyes, you still despise the same old lines you heard the night before"
AN: Hey! My mood has improved a little! Thanx to Abuhin, Andy and Tinkerbell877for their messages.
I didn't like this chapter too much, it seemed like she was playing with his feelings…
Anyway, review!
