Chapter 9. Shine

By the next day, Lizzie's rumor about having an abortion had extended like a plague. When she got to school, everybody was staring and whispering. She tried to ignore them, but she was hurt. She was liked and everybody started to forget it, because all of them knew her. She got to her locker, talking with Veruca and Claire, Brooke and Andie came. They exchanged glares and Claire attacked.
"So, McGuire, who did you sleep with? Does Gordo know you had an abortion?" she inquired. Lizzie didn't know how to react. Worst of all, Veruca was staring at her and she had the gossips column in the school's E-zine. Luckily, Gordo came to her rescue.

"She's as much virgin as you aren't, Claire," he said. She stared at him, turned around and left with her posse. Lizzie turned to face Gordo, smiled at them and they kissed. The next day, in Romance page, they found a cartoon of them with this story:
"Fairy Tales, Happily Ever After:
Despite the rumors, David Gordon and Lizzie McGuire (Most Promising Couple) didn't break up. They were seen as happy as ever, kissing in the hallways. Way go, guys!"

She smiled and turned to look at him. His arms were around her tiny waist and his chin was resting in her shoulder. They had been reading it together. He smiled too and they kissed softly.

"Gordo… I want to do it with you…" he stared at her.

"Lizzie, I don't want to force you into something you don't wanna do-" she placed her finger on his lips.

"Trust me, I want to. In two weeks, at the cabin" he nodded, worry in his eyes, but she kissed him again.

End of chapter.

"Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under
Till you come along and brighten my day
Everyone knows that you kill the thunder
The roaring in my brain
You've given me the strength
To see right through the haze

Shine, come on and let it shine
Light me up, make me feel alive
You've got what it takes
Shine, and only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
Shine on me today

When everything's wrong
I just pick the phone up
The sound in your voice well it fills my eyes with tears of joy
Cause I know you'll be there
When I'm hanging by a thread
You're my heaven sent

Shine, come on and let it shine
Light me up, make me feel alive
You've got what it takes
Shine, and only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away

Oh you have this way of making me feel like I can fly
You're underneath my wings
So I'll free fall out of the sky
You're always there to save me
You know you'll save me

Shine, come on and let it shine
Light me up, make me feel alive
You've got what it takes
Shine, and only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
Come on and shine
Shine
Shine on me
Shine on me
Shine on me
Shine on me today

Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under
Till you come along and brighten my world"

AN: Wow! I think this is actually one of the only songs that fit with the chapter!
If you think they're in a fairy tale, wait for the next chapter! Their bubble will pop! (SPOILER)

AN2: Hotchic12: She'll hurt her, but not physically. (I'm giving way too many spoilers!)
Mark Of Ctown: I already said this, but… THANX A LOT!
