Chapter 5. Story of a girl

Goodbye day had arrived. The Gordon's, Sanchez's and McGuire's were there. So were the Bianco's and Onasis's. But Gordo wasn't there. He felt like he couldn't take it. He had given Lizzie a burnt Cd to make her listen to it in the plane. Lizzie and Miranda were hugging and crying, Melina was crying too. She and Matt had became boyfriend and girlfriend last night. Lizzie and Gordo weren't a couple. They both felt it would make harder the distance. Finally, the speaker announced their flight. All the girls cried harder. They hugged and got in the plane, both Matt and Lizzie not looking at their parents in the face. She immediately put on her earphones and the Cd Gordo gave her. She smiled weakly because the first line she heard was 'This is the story of a girl, who cried a river and drowned the whole world'.

'And while she looks so sad in photographs

I absolutely love her

When she smiles

How many days in a year?

She woke up with hope but she only found tears

And I can be so insincere

Making the promises never for real

As long as she stands there waiting

Wearin' the holes in the soles of her shoes

How many days disappear?

You look in the mirror, so how do you choose?

Your clothes never wear as well the next day

And your hair never falls in quite the same way

You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl,

who cried a river and drowned the whole world.

And while she looks so sad in photographs

I absolutely love her

When she smiles

How many lovers would stay?

Just to put up with this sht day after day

How did we wind up this way?

Watchin' our mouths for the words that we say

As long as we stand here waitin'

Wearin' the clothes of the souls that we choose

How do we get there today?

When we're walkin' too far for the price of our shoes

Your clothes never wear as well the next day

And your hair never falls in quite the same way

You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl,

who cried a river and drowned the whole world.

And while she looks so sad in photographs

I absolutely love her

When she smiles

And your clothes never wear as well the next day

And your hair never falls in quite the same way

You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world

And while she looks so sad in photographs

I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl

Whose pretty face she hid from the world

And while she looks so sad and lonely there

I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl,

who cried a river and drowned the whole world.

And while she looks so sad in photographs

I absolutely love her

When she smiles

When she smiles'
Her eyes started getting all watery again, she couldn't help it, but she thought she was already dry. She held up some pictures they had taken last night. She did look sad in them. She stared at one of herself and Gordo holding each other in his backyard. 'Who took this?' she wondered. She cried again as she recognized the next song. They've heard it last night.
'Laying here in your arms And you hold me tight, tight Trying not to watch the clock Tick, tickin as the time goes by And I know that you best be on your way But I'm wishin I could make you stay Stay with me for a while
Though your near Still I want to make it clear Love, I will always be around
Your leaving, I'm waiting Forgive me I'm always missing you Before The Goodbye I feel it, already Forgive me I'm always missing you Before The Goodbye
Kind of hard for me to let you know Cause I dont let my feelings show How much I'll be missing you All the little things that make me weak Your eyes and the way you speak Without you baby I'm not me
Though your near Still I want to make it clear Love, I will always be around
Your leaving, I'm waiting Forgive me I'm always missing you Before The Goodbye I feel it, already Forgive me I'm always missing you Before The Goodbye Your leaving, I'm waiting Forgive me I'm always missing you Before The Goodbye I feel it, already Forgive me I'm always missing you Before The Goodbye
Your leaving, I'm waiting Forgive me I'm always missing you Before The Goodbye I feel it, already Forgive me I'm always missing you Before The Goodbye

Your leaving I'm waiting, forgive me I'm always missing you Before The Goodbye...'

"Satellite,
you're blue salt water taffy.
So don't ride
down to The Vegas strip.
Satellite,
I want you to be happy.
If you'll smile for me,
we'll pretend like you never left"


Chapter 5. Matt's thoughts

They were at the airport. Melina and the girls were crying. He wanted to comfort her, but he knew he couldn't. The speaker announced their flight and she cried harder. He hugged her and got in the plane. Her sister begun listening to a Cd. He felt bad Gordo hadn't come. He sighed and tried to sleep, but he couldn't. All he could think about was Melina. Last night, he and Lizzie slept in her bedroom and they talked about everything. He told her about his relationship with Melina and she told him about hers with Gordo. It didn't end up as something. They weren't a couple, and he felt sorry for her. Matt glanced in her direction and noticed she was crying. He sighed again and closed his eyes, always thinking about his girlfriend.
