"Miranda. I really have to tell you something." Lizzie frantically paced her room. Since she'd come home from Ethan's house, she'd vaguely told her parents what they needed to know. They made her go back to school so she'd graduate. She hadn't told anybody what Ethan had done to her, but she had a feeling she was going to have to soon.
"What is it Lizzie?" Miranda was sitting on Lizzie's bed calmly. They hadn't heard from Gordo. They were all worried sick. This weekend they were planning on calling the police if they hadn't heard anything.
"Miranda. Remember when we got back from New York? You went home and I stayed at the airport?" Lizzie wiped a tear and turned around to face Miranda.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Well, Ethan came to the airport, and uh. . . I promised him something if he told me where Gordo was."
"Lizzie, what did you promise him?"
"Me." Lizzie said weakly and she flopped back on her bed.
"You didn't!" Miranda shrieked.
"I didn't mean to. I was desperate. I wasn't actually going to go through with it. I went to his apartment to try and get some information, but. . ." Lizzie hung her head.
"What?" "He raped me." Lizzie sobbed into her pillow as Miranda sat in shock and rubbed her back.
"So, Tim. Tell me about you're childhood." Kaci smiled at him over her slice of pizza. Gordo moaned inside. He didn't want to lie to her anymore. Two weeks of him making up stories about his life and Kaci buying them. He was about to launch into another one when Kaci's cell phone rang. "Oh, hang tight. Let me get that." Kaci launched off the couch and towards her purse. "Oh." She said, her smiled disappearing. "Something wrong?" Gordo asked her. Over the past few weeks, he'd really gotten to know Kaci and when she made that face it wasn't good. "It's my ex-boyfriend. He won't leave me alone. Thank God he's still in California." Kaci pressed ignore and pounced back on the couch. Gordo had also tried to contact Lizzie. He didn't want to call her but he did send her an email from an anonymous source, saying Tulsa. Hoping she would get the hint, he'd waited for three days before he got an email back saying her address had been deleted. He'd also tried to call her from Kaci's cell phone but she didn't answer. He was going to go back to Hilldridge for a secret visit, but he was kind of afraid of Ethan seeing him. . .and killing him. He knew if the gang ever saw him in Hilldridge he knew he wouldn't have another chance. He was lucky they hadn't killed him in New York. So for now he was going to stay put. He knew another offer wouldn't come along like Kaci's. She'd even offered to help him get at job at a local photographers studio where her uncle worked. Sure he missed Lizzie but he couldn't go back. Not now.
"Are you going to be okay?" Miranda asked as Lizzie got into her car. Miranda leaned into the open window. "Yeah. Just please let it not be true." Lizzie took a deep breath and smiled. She backed out of the driveway and headed towards the gynecologist.
"So am I?" Lizzie asked nervously. The nurse looked at her happily. "You are! Where's the daddy?" The nurse looked in the lobby hoping to find a young man waiting anxiously but to her dismay did not. "There is a daddy isn't there?" "Yeah, there is a daddy." Lizzie sighed and walked out, leaving a very confused nurse. She drove home and told Miranda and they cried and laughed and talked. Then she went down to confront her family. "Mom, Dad, Matt? I have something to tell you." Lizzie took a deep breath. "What is it, love?" Jo McGuire asked. "I'm pregnant." Lizzie said simply. It sounded even worse out loud. Her father was in shock, her mother fainted and Matt just dropped his mouth. Lizzie's family took it better than she expected her to. They finally excepted it and when Lizzie's mother asked who the father was Lizzie got nervous and told them it was Gordo. She couldn't possible look her family in the eye and tell them she'd been raped. At least they'd accept Gordo, even if he was gone.
"Thank you so much for helping me get that job Kaci" Gordo said bounding in the door to the apartment. "Oh, no problem." Kaci smiled and Gordo almost melted. He'd been living with Kaci for about 3 months and he'd finally landed the job at her uncle's studio. "When do you start?" "Monday. Right after I get back from Hilldridge." "You're going to California?" Kaci asked setting down the grocery bag she was holding. "Yeah, I've got to see an old friend." Gordo smiled down at the newspaper article he was holding saying the Grand drug dealer Ethan Craft had died of an overdose last week.
A/N: I know a lot of time flew by, but I gotta pick it up. SO lets just say that Lizzie is 4 months pregnant and getting pretty big. . . . because. . . . .Find out next time.
