A/N: OK, someone pointed out that this story is similar to "Please, Gordo".
I hadn't read it, so I found it and read it. Ok, basic idea: Lizzie wants
her first time from Gordo and not her boyfriend is the same, but the
details are completely different, and I'm going much farther with mine. If
you take the details away, and just look at the basic ideas, most of the
L/G stories are the same. Bottom line: if you like it, read it, if not,
then don't, you're not going to hurt my feelings...ok, enough defending my
story, back to the actual story:
________________________________________________
Lizzie ran into her house and straight up to her room. She threw herself onto her bed and continued to cry. She thought about her first time, and how it had been right there not two months ago. This caused her to cry harder. She had not outgrown all of her 14-year old habits, and crying like a baby was one of those.
She calmed herself down and decided to think about this rationally. What had upset her more...losing Gordo as a friend, or losing Gordo in that special way that only they shared? Then it hit Lizzie: She was in love with Gordo, really in love. Like Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in "You've Got Mail", Richard Gere and Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman", that kind of in love. Why hadn't she seen this sooner?
"I guess it was too easy for me to ignore it and not have to deal with Steve." she said out loud to no one in particular. "Well, that's it, enough running, I need to deal with this!"
Lizzie left the house just as fast as she had come in, causing her mother to wonder what was up with her. Lizzie didn't have time to deal with it though. She hopped in her car and took off for Steve's house.
She hesitated before knocking on the door. She knew she needed to do this though and gathered her courage and knocked. Steve answered the door with a look of confusion. "Lizzie, what are you doing here? It's pretty late."
"I know, I'm sorry Steve. I just really need to talk to you." Lizzie looked nervous. "Could I come in?"
"Of course you can!" he said. He led her into the living room and they sat down on the sofa.
"So, what's up?" Steve waited for her to answer.
"Well, when I first came here tonight I was going to lie to you and tell you that I can't see you anymore because I won't be able to handle the long distance relationship between LA and Boston. But that's not the truth. I-" Lizzie broke down and started to cry.
"What is it? Tell me!"
"The truth is, I can't see you anymore because there's someone else." she told him.
"Someone else? Who?" Tears started flowing from his eyes.
"I didn't mean for this to happen, but I fell in love with Gordo. Actually, I guess I always have been in love with Gordo."
"Lizzie, I really like you, and I'm sorry to lose you, but I just want you to be happy. I could always tell there was something special between you and Gordo, and if he's going to make you happy, you should be with him." Steve said, as calmly as he could.
"Why are you being so nice about this? Don't you hate me?"
"Lizzie, I could never hate you. Truthfully, I didn't see us lasting much past the move to college. I'm sad that it has to end this way, but I know it's going to be for the best." He lifted her tear-stained chin and kissed her cheek. "Good luck in college, and keep in contact."
See nodded and he silently walked her out. Once outside she got in her car and headed over towards Gordo's house. She had to fix things before it was too late.
____________________________________________________
A/N #2: Ok, so Steve let her off easy...but remember, he knew nothing about her and Gordo physically, and he knew it was ending too. I don't know why I'm even telling you this. I guess to avoid questions in reviews. Whatever. Stay tuned to see what happens with Gordo!
P.S. I moved this story to "R" rating when I wrote the second chapter, but for whatever reason it's taking awhile to change!
