A/N this story will only be 3 more chapters, including this one. There MIGHT be a sequel. We'll just see how I end this.

I was moving tomorrow. A week had passed since Gordo and I had finally let out our confessions. We clung to the moments we had together. But, everything is ending tomorrow. Everything we've worked for, everything we've sacrificed to be friends, all boils down to the moment we say goodbye.

I tried to stay with my dad, but my mom said no. Plus, he was moving with us. Sort of, he would be in New Jersey. I guess you could say there was no escape, but I had one last trick up my sleeve…

I sorted through Gordo's room just looking. He was silently sleeping in bed. I was fingering my favorite necklace that never left my neck. It was a simple heart that Gordo had given me when we were younger. I clung to it, remembering everything we had gone through. Silent tears formed at my eyes.

"Liz, come back to bed." I jumped at the sound of his voice. He was sitting up staring at me. He told me I was beautiful all the time, but this tear stained face was anything but that. He saw my tears and jumped up. He hugged me and I hugged him back. I closed my eyes, but I opened them when I felt his presence gone. I watched him walk to his dresser and pull out a box. He then opened it up with such care. He saw me looking and turned his body so I could not see. I hate when he does that

"I know this is hard for you. But, I need to give you this. I am not tieing you down, just our friendship. If this, what we have, doesn't work out, I want to atleast be your best friend." He held up the prettiest ring I had ever seen. It held one small stone, but it was more than I could ever want. More tears came down my face as he tried to slip it on my right hand. I yanked it away.

"Lizzie?" He asked confused.

"I want you and only you." I held out my left hand and he put it on my ring finger. I knew this was right. I slowly took off my necklace.

"This is for you." I took his hand and put the necklace in it. I closed his hand and held it there.

"I bought that for you. It is yours." He told me looking into my eyes.

"I know. Put this in the box I gave you for your birthday last year. You will never know what wonders you might find there." I smiled as he looked at me confused but did as he was told.

"I need to go. I'm sorry but this is the last time we will see eachother. I am leaving early tomorrow morning and for the rest of the day I have to be with matt. Here read this." I handed him a note. "after I leave tomorrow. Don't ask, don't think. Just do what ever comes to mind first.

this is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
but it's over
just hear this and then I'll go
you gave me more to live for
more than you'll ever know

this is our last embrace
must I dream and always see your face
why can't we overcome this wall

kiss me, please kiss me
but kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"
and did you rush to the phone to call
was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
saying maybe you didn't know him at all
you didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know

well, the bells out in the church tower chime
burning clues into this heart of mine
thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
offer signs that it's over... it's over

Last Goodbye-Jeff BuckleyA/NAmazing song.

The NEXT DAY

So here I am on the plane, wondering what Gordo is doing. Is he going to come? I just don't know anymore..

GORDOS POV. A/N hah. For once.

I know Lizzie's plane left so now I can read this note. I stayed up all night staring at it. So here goes everything.

Dear Gordo,

I love you and there is one thing you don't know. Just look where my heart is and you will find all you need to know. I swear I love you..

Love, Lizzie

I stood there confused. I hate when she throws curve balls. I tried to figure out what she meant then came to a realization.

"HER HEART." I screamed and nearly threw myself into my bed as I hurled across my room to that box. I scrambled to open it and found the heart. I dumped everything out onto my bed. I searched through everything, but nothing made sense. I numbly looked over the box.

"Maybe its not whats in the box, but the box itself." I whispered aloud. I turned it over and realized what was so different about the box. The bottom was too thick. I saw a hole in the bottom and found the bottom came off. There was a small note inside.

"Liz stop with the notes." I thought aloud.

Maybe someday you'll find what you've been looking for. For today though don't give up. Chase everything and take it for your own. Don't give up on what you know.

I instantly jumped up and got a bag from my room. I was doing what she said…

NEW YORK. LIZZIES POV. 2 days have passed.

I flopped out my bed surround by boxes. I guess he wasn't coming. I had hoped he would. Maybe I just didn't know him as well as I thought I did. I went over to the only opened box and took out his picture. I neglected to see the figure standing in the corner. I lay down on my bed and cried while looking at his picture. He was all I knew and he was gone. We started something we couldn't finish. I love him. I slowly started to sing a song I wrote.

Lost alone scared of what I might not know
Cry out lost in darkness faded out
Dieing withering in the dark of a faded sunset

Who said life was going to be fun
Who said that love would last
But I am lost

Dream oh dream somewhere they can't find you
Don't let me down I'll find you I'll need you

Lost in sadness we find ourselves caught up in the fight
Lost in darkness and I almost had you

You're so far away from my heart
I can't reach to grab your hand

"You know, I miss you that much too." I jumped at that voice. That voice I heard everyday since I left. I fantasized about hearing that voice. I wondered if it was true. I turned and saw him come out of the shadows. His smile was worth everything.

"Gordo." I squealed consuming him in a hug and shower his face with kisses. We kissed so feverishly, like we had been away from eachother for more than two days.

"I thought you weren't coming." I told him after we stopped kissing.

"I would do anything to be with you." He held up his bag. Did he actually know me that well?

"C'mon lets go." He grabbed my hand. I threw as many things I could into my bag.

"Do you have any money?" I asked as I was haphazardly throwing stuff around.

"Enough to get started. Do you?" He helped me pack.

"Yeah. My mom gave me a lot of cash to buy clothes and I can withdraw from the bank." I turned around and gave him a lingering kiss.

"I love you." He grabbed my hand as I was finished packing.

"I love you too." We silently crept down the stairs where I threw a note for my family in the kitchen and we left holding hands.

Cause everybody knows that we are meant to be
But nobody will let us be free
Cause everybody knows that we are meant to be
So why can't we be free

So many broken hearts lie in this day
Holding out for a life that will never be
And I have lost myself in your eyes
Your smile your shining face

And I've lost so many times now
But you've always picked me up
So stay around for me and
It will be ok

Cause everybody knows that we are meant to be
But nobody will let us be free
Cause everybody knows that we are meant to be
So why can't we be free
