Heyy guys… I'm going to be putting a very good quote from a book that I got at the book fair at my school… so yeah I hope you like it… It's from… Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul.

Tunnels of Life

Chapter Four

Late on a Friday afternoon, Gordo was walking through the streets of downtown Hillridge. He walked by a store that had a quote in the window. The Quote said, 'Love is everything it's cracked up to be. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.' Gordo stood there for a couple minutes, then he walked into the store.

NEW YORK- 12:00 Midnight

Lizzie came in from her music premier. She fell onto her bed, exhausted. But suddenly the phone in hotel room rang.

"Hello?" an exhausted Lizzie answered.

"Lizzie, um hi, I uh, I just…" Gordo's voice said on the other end.

" Gordo?" Lizzie said cutting him off.

"Yeah, um hi. Look I just wanted to say that I was sorry, about the other day. You know, for basically blowing you off when you said… well you know." Gordo said.

"It's ok. I guess I just kind of… you know, got caught up in the moment and said that, you know, thing." Lizzie said.

"Oh, so, you didn't mean it?" Gordo said.

"Well, I mean, yeah… er… no, I don't know, I really, really like you Gordo. But right now, I don't know." Lizzie said.

"Oh, well… I guess that's cool then. But there's just one thing that I want you to know." Gordo said.

"What is that?" Lizzie replied sitting up on her bed.

"Not now. Later." Gordo said.

"What ever Gordo." Lizzie said getting annoyed, mostly because she was tired.

"Ok, so good night." Gordo said, then hung up the phone. Lizzie hung up the phone and went to sleep. Not even bothering to change.

IN THE MORNING

Lizzie woke up to the sun blazing down on her face. She blinked a couple times to get used to the light and looked around. She had wanted the past couple of days just to be a dream, but they weren't. Lizzie was still in her clothes that she wore to the premier, and still that in that 5 star hotel room. She go up and took a shower, this one only took about 15 minutes. After Lizzie got dressed in a regular outfit for once in the last couple of days. She felt horrible about last night though. At her party, she must have made out with 5 guys at the most. That was only to ease her pain. But she still thought about Gordo. And then she finally realized nothing would get her over him. But when he called, something inside her just couldn't get her to say those words again. But instead she said that she really, really liked him. And then she thought of something her father once told her that Williams Shakespeare once said, 'This above all; to thine own self, be true.' Lizzie missed how her father used to quote dead guys. (a/n: any ways, I'm getting off topic here) Thinking of this quote-made Lizzie think. That if she couldn't be true to herself about her feelings for Gordo, then how could she be true to Gordo? She never lied to Gordo, except for this one time. Suddenly, Lizzie heard her cell phone ring.

"Hello?" Lizzie answered hoping it was Gordo.

"Hey Lizzie, I just wanted to tell you that thing now." Gordo said.

"Ok, shoot." Lizzie said excited to hear Gordo's voice.

"Ok, here it goes." Gordo said, "I Love you Lizzie McGuire, always have."

"Always will." Lizzie heard a familiar voice say behind her.

Hey! I hope you liked this chapter… it was supposed to be a cliffhanger, but it really isn't that much because I guess you already know who is behind her… well yeah, I'll have the next chapter up tomorrow!
