Chapter 11. The Getaway

The next day, Prom Night:

Kate was wearing a baby blue, knee length and low neckline dress. Her hair was straight and untied. Miranda's dress was red, one shoulder and short. Her hair was up in a bun. Lizzie's was baby-pink, strapless and floor length. Her hair was curled, half up, half down. She was going by her own (so was Gordo), Ethan had tried to set her up with his cousin, but she refused. She got lots of invitations at school, but she rejected them too. The gang was sharing a limo. They arrived and received the ballots. They had been made last week, so Lizzie and Gordo were listed for court together. She felt tears forming in her eyes at the sight of their names. Kate noticed her change of mood and took her to the girl's locker room. Miranda came a little after.
"I'm ok," Lizzie said. "I just hope nobody votes for us" Miranda nodded.

"Let's go, then," she said.

"I'll be right there. You go first," Lizzie replied.

"You sure?" Kate asked. Lizzie nodded and they left. She sighed loudly and Claire and Brooke came in. They went to the mirror without noticing Lizzie.

"I can't believe he rejected you," Brooke was saying. "I mean, he has gotten taller and hotter, he dumped Lozie McClumsy, but still! He had no rights too!" Lizzie's jaw opened in shock. She crept out of the room and found her friends dancing. Gordo was surrounded by a bunch of girls, so she just ignored him, but he saw Lizzie and walked over her.

"Hey, Liz," he said, smiling at her, his seductive smile. She smiled back, her heart aching a little. "Wanna dance?" she frowned but then nodded. They went to the center of the stage, her getting lost in his baby-blue eyes, him doing the same in her hazel ones. "I love you…" he muttered under his breath. She caught it and frowned more, then thought for a second and pulled apart.

"I cannot let myself go through this again," she said, and ran to the lockers again.

End of chapter.

"Here I am again
Talking to myself
Sitting at a red light
Both hands on the wheel
How am I supposed to feel?
So much running through my mind
First you wanna be free
Now you say you need me
Giving mixed signals and signs
It's so hard to let you in
Thinking you might slam the brakes again

Put the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away

I can't keep coming back to you
Every time you're in the mood
To whisper something sweet in my ear
It's so hard to move on
Cause every time I think you're gone
You show up in my rearview mirror

Is this just a detour?
Cause I gotta be sure
That you really mean what you say
It's so hard to let you in
Thinking you might slam the brakes again

Put the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away
To a place where I can be redefined
Where you're out of sight
And you're out of mind
But the truth is I can't even say goodbye

Here I am again
Talking to myself
Sitting at a red light
Both hands on the wheel
How am I supposed to feel?
So much running through my mind

Put the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway (a getaway)
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take (I can take)
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away"


AN: Another song that (I think) fits with the chapter!

Hotchic12: It is fake, cuz she didn't do nothing with him. That day, at his party, she took the drugs and ten minutes later was throwing up. She's not like that.

Mark Of Ctown: As I said, their bubble popped. After a couple of fights and stuff, they split up.

ms.videogamer: Yeah, great idea, but I already wrote this… Sorry!
Anyway, thanx for your review!

AN2: Next chapter is more about prom!

AN3: Well, if you know the songs and/or lyrics you can tell part of the story!
I was thinking about that, so the last chapter is gonna be different!
See ya!
