As Kate told her mom what happened to Lizzie, Carol stroked her hair. After a couple of minutes, Kate got up and walked over to her desk, picked up her jewelry box and walked back over to the bed. She dumped the jewelry on the bed, and scattered it across the bed till she came to a rainbow necklace with the word BEST on it.

FLASHBACK

Lizzie, Miranda and I were at summer camp and we were 7. We were in the middle of making friendship necklaces when Lizzie said, "Miranda, Kate, you guys are my best friend besides Gordo and I want to stay that way, so lets make a promise right now that we will always stay this way! No matter what!" "Ok, I'm in I love you guys like sister!" Miranda said happily. "Ya, I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to one of you! I promise, Cross my heart and hope to die!" Kate said looking down at her almost finished necklace she had worked so hard on. "Stick a needle in my eye!" Lizzie and Miranda finished giggling.

END OF FLASHBACK

As Kate looked down at the once most treasured necklace, she started to silently sob. Realizing that not all promises can be kept forever.

"Ya, I think she'll be up all night, just a sec." Matt said, yawning. There was silents for about a minute. "Hello Daniella, how are you?" Jo said trying to hide her sorrow. "Oh, Jo, I'm so sorry about what happened, and if there is anything that we can do to help, just name it." Daniella Sanchez said, her own voice cracking. "Oh, that is really nice of you, you really don't have to." Jo said quitly. "Jo, you know that you would do the same thing for us!" Daniella said, trying to comfort the sorrowful mother. "Well, thanks again, and we really apprciate it but I have to go and talk to Matt." Jo said, wiping her eyes. "Ok, bye now!" Daniella said, hanging up the phone. Just as she was putting it on the table it started ringing. "Hello... yes just a second, please." Daniella said, handing Miranda the phone. "Hello?" Miranda said surprised that someone was calling so late. "Hi Miranda, I'm sorry that its so late." the person said. "Oh, hi Kate, it's ok, I was just talking to my mom." Miranda said, walking up the stairs. "Oh, I was just wondeing if you still had that friendship necklace that we made at camp, you know the rainbow one." Kate said, hoping Miranda still had it. "I don't know, I mean I haven't worn it in so long." Miranda said, opening her bedroom door and walking over to her dresser. Digging through her many necklaces and bracelets, till she came to what she was looking for. "Ya, it's right here, why?" Miranda asked curiously. "Becasue I still have mine and I thought maybe we could wear them till they find Lizzie you know kind like a..." Kate trailed off, trying to find the right word. "Good luck charm, or something?" Miranda said, finishing Kate's sentence for her. "Ya, something like that!" Kate said happily.

Jo walked into Matt's room and sat down on his bed. "So, Matt are you ok?" Jo asked her tired son. "Ya, just a little tired, but...." Matt said trailing off. "But what, honey?" Jo said, worry in her voice. "But, why Lizzie?" Matt said, looking at his hands. "I don't know, but everything happens for a reason and everything is going to end up just fine!" Jo said, tears falling, as she tried to believe her own words. "Ya, I know, Mom." Matt said, hugging her tightly. "Well, you better go to sleep, it's pretty late!" Jo said, looking down at her watch and realizing how late it really was. "Good night." Jo said, as she turned out the light and closed the door behind her. She walked into the living room, where Sam was sitting looking at a photo album. "Honey, what are you doing?" Jo asked, sitting down beside her husband. "Just looking at some old pictures of Lizzie." Sam said, looking down at a picture of his only daughter, lost. "It's ok, she'll be of, we'll find her!" Jo said determinded. "She's my only daughter, I should have protected her!" Sam said, sadly. "It's not your fault, it's nobody's fault!" Jo said, comforting the fearful father.

Gordo regained conciousness to an ambulance. He realized emmiditly that he was laying on a strecher and was in the speeding vehicle. "What happened?" Gordo asked the paramedic gurgle. "Well, you didn't stop at a stop sign and a car hit you. We think you have 3 broken ribs and a broken arm but we'll have to x-ray it." The friendly blonde girl in about her 20's said. "By the way, I'm Brit." She said bubbly. "Hi, I'm Gordo, but how long will the x-ray take?" Gordo ask glumly. "I don't know but you'll have to stay over night tonight." Brit said, curling her hair flirtatiously. "What time is it anyway?" Gordo said, as the ambulance came to a skidding stop. "It's about 5 o'clock A.M." Brit said, looking down at her pink watch. "Holy Shit and I have to stay over night!" Gordo said, his memory blurry, of why he had been driving so earily in the morning. "Well, you might, I don't know. Why do you have a date with your girlfriend or something?" Brit said sadly. "No, I don't have one, I was just wondering." Gordo said just as sadly. "Oh, ok then." Brit said, happy again. Gordo argued that he could walk into the hospital but gave in and let them carry him in on the stretcher. As he was being carried in, he hit his head and fell unconcious.
