Tunnels of Life
Chapter Three
By Tuesday, Lizzie had chosen the picture that she wanted for her front cover. It was in a living room set, she was on the floor and leaning with her elbow on a chair holding one of the legs. Her head was resting in her hand. The record company had chosen the ones that would go inside of the booklet with her lyrics, and the one for the back cover. But they had chosen her first single to be, "Hide Away" a song, which she had written for Gordo. Just thinking about Gordo made Lizzie want to give up, but she knew that she couldn't. So she decided something, she would call Gordo and talk to him. Just so she could hear the sound of his voice one more time.
BACK IN CALIFORNIA
Gordo walked through the halls of Hillridge High on his third day as an 11th grader. But to him, the halls of Hillridge seemed empty without the presence of Lizzie. But he knew that he had to get through the school year with out her. All of the sudden, his cell phone rang, and on the screen it said Lizzie Cell.
"Hello?" Gordo said picking up his phone.
"… Hi… um… Gordo." Gordo was relieved to hear the voice of Lizzie on the other end.
"Hey, Lizzie. So, how've ya been?" Gordo said, trying not to sound excited.
"Good… no, that's a lie, not so good actually. Gordo it truly sucks that you haven't been here. I hate it that we broke up." Lizzie said.
" I know." Gordo said.
"Really? So you haven't been doing to good either?" Lizzie said getting a little too excited over the fact that Gordo was sad too.
"Glad to know my grief makes you happy." Gordo said, walking up and opening his locker.
"Oh, sorry, it's just good to know that you still care." Lizzie said.
"Lizzie, of course I care, but that doesn't make everything that has happened better. You're still in New York." Gordo said getting his bag and putting his books in it so he could leave to go home.
"Gordo, I know, and I'm sorry, but… you… I mean… I… I don't know, I've dreamed of this ever since I was little. I want to keep my dream alive, but I also want to keep us alive." Lizzie said.
"As of last Friday, there is no us. So now you only have one thing to keep alive." Gordo said getting into his car and starting it.
"Please, Gordo, I wanna make this work again, please don't say that! I mean, I…" Lizzie replied in an even sadder tone sounding as if she was about to cry.
"You what Lizzie? There's nothing you could say now that can change my mind. I have to go now-" Gordo said getting cut off by the sound of Lizzie's voice.
"I love you!" Lizzie said
"You what?" Gordo asked in disbelief.
"I said I love you Gordo." Lizzie said. Sounding relieved as if she just had the world lifted off her shoulders.
"How are you gonna say that? Now of all times? How am I supposed to respond to that?" Gordo said.
"But, I thought… You are supposed to hold me when I cry, not make me do it." Lizzie said, hanging up the phone and starting to cry.
Gordo sped out of the Hillridge parking lot noticing that he was the only one left in Student Parking. He drove to the park where he and Lizzie had his first kiss. Looking at the place where him and Lizzie had sketched their names in. But he noticed something new under it, it said
LOVE FOREVER and EVER and EVER and EVER
Obviously it was Lizzie who carved it, because she couldn't carve that good. But Gordo always thought that, that was a cute trait of hers. Gordo blinked back tears, he hated that he was crying over this. He had to do something. But he didn't know what to do. He had to think of something
IN New York
Lizzie buried her head into her pillows on an early Thursday morning. 'Oh my gosh, I can't believe I spilled my heart out to Gordo and he dumped me all over again. And we weren't even going out!' "I'm so stupid." Lizzie said thinking out loud.
"Lizzie!" Lizzie suddenly heard the annoying voice of Mac at her door. "You have to get ready, NOW, we are going to have breakfast with a lot of important people… so get up!"
"Ok, I'm coming." Lizzie said getting up out of her bed. Her CD was going to be released on September 18th… and she couldn't be anymore nervous about it. But that gave her a sort of calm before the storm. Because she had a feeling that something big was about to happen.
