A/N-IMPORTANT PLEASE READ Gordo is going to seem very ooc this chapter but you must remember what he had been through. His heart has been torn apart and he has honestly convinced himself that Lizzie betrayed him. This is not your normal Gordo; this is a brokenhearted and angry Gordo who hasn't slept all day. Ok on to the chapter.

Gordo woke up to the sound of a scream; he had always been a light sleeper and the fact that he was sleeping on a hard park bench rather then his soft bed only made this worse. Turning his head in the direction of the scream Gordo's eye's still adjusting to the darkness, could barley make out what appeared to be two male figures with a women standing in between them. Gordo realized the source of the scream very quickly as he saw one of the men hit the girl across the face. As he heard the girl scream again, Gordo quickly got up and moved towards the scene so he could get a better view of what was happening. As he moved closer, Gordo hid behind a tree as he received two shocks at once. First was that the young women's shirt was mostly torn off and had bloodstains all over her. The second and even bigger shock was when Gordo realized the girl standing between the two men was Kate. After realizing the girl was Kate, Gordo's eyes now turned to her attackers who he now realized were seniors in their high school. Well they were seniors he thought. The two boys had been kicked out of school only a few weeks ago when they had been found drinking and smoking in the bathroom. What was Kate doing with guys like this he thought? His thought's quickly returned to the events unfolding before him as one of the boys called Kate a cheap slut and hit her again, this time Kate fell to the floor and began to cry. The other boy picked her up and grabbed her by the waist forcing her into a kiss that Kate obviously didn't want to be a part off. That was when Gordo noticed that one of the boys was holding a knife in his left hand. It finally clicked in Gordo's head what was happening, Kate was going to get raped. If this had been any other night, he would halve simply ran to the nearest phone and called the police. His rational side would halve told him he had no chance fighting two older men especially when one was armed. Unfortunately Gordo's rational side had died the minute he had seen his two best friends share a passionate kiss. As the image went through his mind again, Gordo seethed with rage. Though Kate hadn't been Gordo's friend for years, on this night, Gordo was going to stand bye and see some one get raped because he was too afraid to save them. The rage from the both the kiss and what was happening before him right now boiled through all of Gordo. Moving from behind the tree Gordo spoke in the most serious and demanding tone he had used in his entire life for the two boys to get away from Kate. He saw all three heads shift in his direction, Gordo took note that the one boy didn't take his hands off Kate, he also noticed the other had tightened his grip around his knife. Gordo was angry, angrier then he had ever been in his entire life, he didn't care if the boys killed him. He wanted to die anyways; he had ever since he realized he could never be with Miranda. Gordo stepped forward and once again told the boys to get their hands off Kate. The rage inside Gordo was evident as he spoke, the one that was holding Kate let go but did so by throwing Kate to the ground. This only angered Gordo more, the rage in Gordo's eyes seemed to scare the boys some but it still didn't seem like they were going to back down. Looking down at Kate, Gordo could see that she was bleeding in several places, some from being punched, and others from being cut with the boy's knife. That was the last straw; Gordo lunged forward, and for the first time in his life entering a fight. Though he had never truly thrown a punch at someone intending to truly hurt them in his whole life the pure hate that drove Gordo's punch made it strong enough to bring the one boy down to the ground. Gordo looked down at him, his whole body giving off a look of pure hate. He could see the boy holding his face where Gordo's fist had struck him. The boy by now was scared out of his mind and quickly turned and ran, there was no way some stupid sophomore cheerleader was worth this. Gordo tuned to the other boy who had his knife held up ready to strike at Gordo. Any other day Gordo would halve been scared out of his mind, but not tonight. With both the image of his best friend betraying him and a beaten Kate in his mind Gordo once again lunged forward.

Gordo looked down, it had happened almost instantly. He rubbed the small trickle of blood rolling down his check. He wasn't quite sure how he known what to do but he had managed to both knock the knife out of the boys hand and land a punch with only getting a small cut on his cheek. Without his knife the boy had now lost all his cockiness. Gordo looked down and simply uttered leave. The boy didn't hesitate as soon as Gordo had uttered the word, he was gone. Knowing that Kate was finally safe a small amount of Gordo's anger left him, having calmed slightly he walked over to the still crying Kate. He sat beside her and put his arms around her. Kate leaned her head on his, finally seeing how badly her cuts were Gordo held her tighter. For the next hour Gordo lay with Kate in the middle of the parks' walkway with Kate crying in his arms.

Gordo noticed her crying had stopped, as she pulled her hand back from his body, he turned to look at her. Bruises could be scene all across her face as well as arms. Kate spoke first, it was a simple thank you but it was obvious it came from the bottom of her heart. He looked into her eyes, and simply said your welcome. Kate laughed, but not her normal cocky cheerleader laugh, it was much more strained and could barley even be heard. The pair had both been through a lot that night and neither really wanted to talk. For some reasons they both felt some comfort in the others presence so simply spent the remainder of the night sitting in the park holding each other. Gordo wasn't sure why he felt so much comfort in holding Kate but his mind was to tired and emotionally drained to deal with that question right now, instead he tightened his grip around Kate and fell into his first real sleep of the night.
