Chapter 2. Because You Live

Lizzie sat on her limo, quiet (and a little sad), looking out at the rain. Cammy snapped her fingers a few times.
"Lizzie?" she said. Lizzie's cell phone rang and she picked it up.

"Hello?" Lizzie said.

"Uhm... Lizzie?" Gordo's voice said. Her eyes lit up. "It's Gordo"

"Hi," she said.

"Hey," he replied. They stood quiet for a couple of minutes. "You forgot your camera"

"Oh, my G-d... thanks a lot," she said.

"How should I give it back to you?" he asked. "Where do you live?"

"Oh... At the Digital Bean, at 8. I'll send somebody"

"Ok. Bye," he said.

"Bye... and thanks again"

"Don't mention it" they both hung up and Lizzie pressed her pink fuzzy cell phone against her chest while Cammy looked at her face's expression.

"You're in love!" she whispered. Lizzie stared at her. "Who's he?"

"I met him today," Lizzie whispered back. "He was so sweet... he didn't even know who I was" Lizzie's eyes got lost in the rain again and Cammy smiled. "He made me feel so special..."

"Should I go at eight?" she asked. Lizzie nodded. The driver parked and the girls went down with Phil. "Your shoot's with the girls who won the contest. There are three" Lizzie nodded. "And an interview with things they ask you" Lizzie nodded again.

"What was the name of this one?" Lizzie asked.

"Teen Attitude. You're wearing two costumes and another thing you choose" Lizzie grabbed a light blue tank top, a tight jean jacket and tight faded jeans.

"What's first?" Lizzie asked again, looking at the closed door.

"Change into those clothes then go meet them," Cammy replied. Lizzie nodded, changed, got her makeup and hair done then walked to the door. Cammy opened it and they got in. There were two blonde girls talking together and a girl with black hair and black eyes talking to two little girls. Lizzie's eyes fixed on the twins and they ran to her.

"Danielle! Samantha!" she cried. Her little sisters hugged her. Lizzie smiled at Cammy and turned to the three girls. The tallest of the blondes approached to her. She had a snotty attitude Lizzie didn't like. "Hi"

"Hi," the girl replied. "I'm Kate" Lizzie nodded and the other blonde appeared. She looked almost exactly as herself.

"Andie," she said, smiling. Lizzie smiled back and the last girl approached.

"I'm Miranda. It's so cool to meet you," Miranda said. Lizzie smiled again.

"You're all taking a copy of the pictures and Lizzie's last Cd," Cammy said. "All signed by her" the three girls noded. "Lizzie, come here for a sec" they walked to a corner. "Your mother had the other baby. Dan and Sam are staying with us"

"What is it?" Lizzie asked, a little sad about not being there. Cammy smiled.

"A girl. Michelle" Lizzie smiled too and hugged her. "Let's go back" Lizzie nodded and they went with the girls.

"Okay, shoot. You can ask me whatever you want to," Lizzie said.

"Do you have, like, a boyfriend?" Kate asked.

"I'm too busy to think about that now, but I would love to!" Lizzie said. The girls smiled.

"What's it like to be famous?" Andie continued.

"It's really cool 'cause you get all kinda free stuff and clothes... plus, you meet lots of people and travel a lot"

"Did you ever... I don't know, snuck out to spend a day as a normal girl or do something?" Miranda asked. Lizzie smiled.

"Once. I had the best time of my life" After a few more questions and the photos, the girls got their stuff and left. Lizzie had the shoots dressed as an angel and a cowgirl then left too.

8 o' clock, at the Digital Bean:

"Hey, Gordo!" Miranda said. He waved at her and she sat. "Expensive! Who's that from?" she pointed to the camera he had on the table.

"A girl I met today," he said. "She forgot it. How was that contest thing?"

"The coolest. She's so great" he nodded and she grabbed the camera. She looked at the pictures and stared at him. "Please, tell me you found this somewhere..." he shook his head and she found a picture of Lizzie and Gordo together, laughing at something. She gasped and Cammy came in. She looked around and walked to them.

"Hi... do I know you?" she asked Miranda, who nodded. Gordo looked at them.

"You came for the camera, right?" he asked.

"Yeah, Lizzie couldn't make it..." Cammy said. He gave her it and she got up.

"Gordo, she's Lizzie's... Lizzie McGuire!" Miranda babbled. "She works with her!" He looked at Cammy, who was blushing.

"Lizzie... McGuire?" he whispered. Cammy nodded slowly. "Why did she even talk to me? Hasn't she got lots of guys to choose from?"

"I- She needs to tell you herself," Cammy said. She held up the camera. "Thank you for this and bye" she left, leaving a stunned Gordo behind.

End of chapter.

"Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it through every storm
What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live

Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive

Because you live, I live, I live"
