Tunnels of Life

Chapter one

Lizzie woke up on a rainy Saturday morning around 8:00 to her mom yelling at her from the bottom of the stairs, "Lizzie! Wake up, you're going to miss your flight!"

"OK! I'll be down in a minute!" Lizzie replied reluctantly getting out of bed. She was going to fly to New York for her very first photo shoot for her new album. But she didn't want to go.

FLASHBACK

Lizzie ran up to Gordo's house knocking on the door. Gordo answered stepping out to greet his girlfriend with a soft kiss. "Gordo, there's something I have to tell you. It's kind of important, so just listen." Lizzie said after she broke their long kiss.

"Ok, shoot." Gordo replied sitting down on his steps.

"Gordo, I just got a call from Hollywood Records, they want me to come and shoot the cover for the album that I recorded this summer. I know that we are supposed to be going into 11th this year and stuff, but I really wanna go!" Lizzie told him in a very sincere voice.

"Well, you know… I think that's great Lizzie." Gordo said trying to sound happy. But he knew that once Lizzie came back from this trip to New York, she wouldn't be the same.

"Gordo, you don't sound very happy. I won't go if you aren't going to be happy with it." Lizzie replied looking more and more near to tears every word.

"No, I think that this is gonna be a great experience for you… you should…"Gordo said, but he couldn't finish his sentence. He started looking down.

"Gordo? What?" Lizzie said looking at him concerned.

"You know what, I can't just sit here and tell you that I'm fine with it, when I'm not. The truth is no, I don't want you to go, but I know that what I do or don't want isn't going to stop you. So just go to New York and get you a new life." Gordo said standing up and turning towards his front door.

"Gordo, stop… wait… please can't we just talk-" Lizzie said getting cut off by her cell phone ringing.

"Lizzie, that settles it, every time we try to talk that thing goes off, or you have to go, so you know what, we have nothing more to talk about." Gordo said opening his front door as Lizzie looked at him near to tears. But she sucked it up and answered her phone.

"Oh, My god! I didn't actually think that you'd answer it after I just said that to you. Lizzie McGuire you surprise me, you know what, while you are in New York finding your new life… you can find yourself a new boyfriend too." Gordo said walking in his house slamming the door. Lizzie hung up her phone and started crying. She started running towards the place her and Gordo had their first kiss, she'd wanted to go to Miranda's house, but then she remembered that they had moved to Mexico earlier that summer. She came up to the park, and sat down underneath a huge oak tree where she and Gordo had carved their initials. DG+LMLove forever… is what it said, but she knew now that that was a lie. She ran home to console in her mom, who has been and always will be there for her.

END OF FLASHBACK

As Lizzie pulled up to the airport, she felt as if she was about to lose a whole part of her life, but gain another part. She didn't want to be happy, but she was. It was almost like Gordo didn't even matter anymore, but she knew that no matter what, she would always love him, he may not have known that, but she knew, and as long as she loved him, there was always hope.
