The Kidnapping

Chapter 9:

Miranda woke up to the sound of Gordo, the bitchy nurse and a doctor, talking about the results to Gordo's x-rays. "Your lucky, your condition isn't that bad. A broken arm, two fractured ribs and some bruising. It could be a lot worse!" The doctor said, looking down at his clipboard as he spoke. "But, I don't get it, give me a cast and I'm good to go!" Gordo said, impatiently. "Mr. Gordon, we have had a lot of patients come in today and we think it be better if you rest here over night. We will give you a sling until tomorrow." The doctor said, turning around to leave. "But if I have to do with a sling then why can't I go home and come back tomorrow?" Gordo asked, trying to get out of staying. "My decision is final and for the best! I'm not in the mood to argue about it." The doctor said, not even turning around. "Shit!" Gordo yelled, when he had got into the room and shut the door. "What, it's only one more day?" Miranda asked, confused. "One more day might be all Lizzie has!" Gordo said, frustrated. "What do you know that I don't?" Miranda asked, becoming more confused by the seconds. "A lot!" Gordo said, knowing he'd have to explain.

As Gordo finished explaining everything about Lizzie and his dreams, Miranda started to tear up at the thought of Lizzie dying. "But Miranda don't tell Mrs. or Mr. McG, I don't want to worry them anymore then they already are!" Gordo said, realizing how worried they probably were. "Oh course, but how do you know they were real?" Miranda asked, wiping her tears away. "They were just so real, Miranda, like I could almost feel her pain. It's hard to explain." Gordo said, trying to think back to his last dream. "Gordo, you really like her don't you!" Miranda said, amazed at how much he cared. "Ya, I mean she's so perfect. She's so beautiful, funny, smart, and everything. She just doesn't get how amazing she is. I wish I could show her how much she means to me but I no that I don't deserve her. All those guys she goes out with don't deserve her either. It really hurts to see her crying over all them, when they leave her for someone that isn't half as good as her. They don't get how lucky they are to be seen as anything more then a friend in her eyes!" Gordo said, looking at his hands realizing that he had just confessed him undying love from Lizzie to Miranda. "That is so sweet Gordo, you have to save her and tell her all this!" She said tearing up like she would at a chick flick. "But Miranda, will you help me get out of her?" Gordo asked, hoping she would say yes. "I don't know Gordo, what if you can't find her?" Miranda said, sitting back down on the bed. "Miranda, I know where she is! She was who I was looking for when I got hit!" Gordo said, starting to pace. "What if they hurt you or kill you or something! You're the only one who could help her!" Miranda said, worrying over nothing. "Miranda, please!" Gordo said, plead in his eyes. "Ok…" Miranda said, getting up from her perch.

Rory McAdams walked out of the Hillridge hospital elevator at the second floor. He walked down the hall till he found the room he was looking for. He walked in to find Miranda and Gordo hugging. "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt anything!" Rory said, finding it hard to frown. "No, no, please stay!" Miranda said, pushing away from Gordo and turning to Rory. "How you doin' Gordo, heard it was pretty bad!" Rory said, not even looking at Gordo but going straight to Miranda. "Hey Miranda, looking good! Have they found Lizzie yet?" Rory said, putting on the charm that made the girls fall head over heels. "Thanx, not looking so bad yourself!" Miranda said, not hearing the last part or maybe just ignoring it. "How do you know about Lizzie?" Gordo said, not falling for Rory's foolishness. "Oh, umm, it was on the news!" Rory said, slightly losing his cool. "It wasn't on the news, Lizzie's parents aren't giving out any information!" Gordo said, annoyed and suspicious at the same time. "Maybe they did, when was the last time you talked to them?" Miranda asked, looking at Rory, who was smiling. "Why are you being so defensive?" Gordo asked, watching s Miranda blushed madly. "Oh, uh, why are you being so… obsessive! It's not like you and Lizzie are together or anything!" Miranda said, smiling at her comeback. "Whatever, I thought you were going to help but if not then I think you should leave!" Gordo said, watching Miranda grab her purse and walk out with Rory at her heels.

Kate hung up the phone after talking for an hour with her new boyfriend. "If everything can work out with him, maybe everything's changing." Kate said to herself. She got up and walked into her mom's bedroom to find her mom and a new guy passed out on the bed. She went over to her mom's dresser to find the purse she had been carrying the night before. She found her moms cell phone and walked out not caring how loud she was being. She got back to her room and looked through the memory on the phone. She found it and dialed the number into her own phone. She listened to it ring till a girl she figured not much older then her answered. "Hello?" The girl giggled into the phone. "Hi, is Mark there?" Kate asked, starting to regret her chose. "Ya, just a sec!" The girl said, handing over the phone. "Hello?…" She heard him say in a lazy tone. "Hi, Dad!" Kate said, her heart stopping at the awkward silence. "Umm, who is this?" He said, confused. "Kate…" She said, also confused. "Kate?" Mark said, not getting it was his daughter. "Kate Sanders, you daughter!" Kate said, almost in tears. "Oh, um, what do you want and how did you get my number?" He asked, uninterested. "Um, it was in Mom's phone and I thought you might wanna know how I've been doing!" She said, finding it hard to speak. "Why would you think that?" He said, obviously not wanting to be in the conversation.

Rory and Miranda walked into the Digital Bean and found a table. "So, I'm really sorry about Gordo, he's been taking it really hard!" Miranda said, after the waitress had taken their orders. "Oh, that's ok. I would be to if I have a hot piece of ass like Lizzie!" Rory said, murmuring the last part. "What?" Miranda said, not hearing the last part. "Oh, nothing!" He said, trying to cover up for himself. "So, um, I was wondering why you wanted to do something with me today, of all people!" Miranda said, trying not to blush. "Well, I think you're really cool and hot and worked up the nerve to ask you today!" Rory said, pretending to be embarrassed. "Really, I didn't even know you knew my name!" Miranda said, getting excited. "That's funny, I didn't think you knew mine!" He said, laughing as if it really was funny. Just as they were leaning in his cell rang. "Hello, what's wrong now, she's what!… Couldn't you keep it in your pants!.. I'll be right there!" Rory yelled, making Miranda jump. "I'm really sorry, I gotta go!" He said, jumping up from the table. "Is everything ok?" Miranda asked, confused and worried for him. "Oh, ya just fine!" He said running out the door. "Oh shit, I screwed that one up!" Miranda said, sipping her drink alone. "Screwed what up?" Matt asked, as he took Rory's spot beside her. "Oh, just my chances with this amazing guy!" Miranda said, looking down at her smoothie. "Well, he's not as great as you think if he just leaves you like that and doesn't see how amazing you are!" Matt said, staring at her, but then realizing what he had just said and got up to leave. "Thanx Matt, I really needed that!" Miranda said, smiling.
