Chapter 2: An Idea.
Lizzie wanted for her parents to come in and tell her everything was going to be okay. She wanted them to tell her what was going on and why she never had heard of this before. Who was this Annabelle Carlson? And who was her father?
Lizzie knew that she would always think of Joe and Julie as her parents. After all, she had never known otherwise... Until now.
Lizzie looked at the rest of the papers in the drawer hoping that any moment she would wake up and find this was all a dream... a nightmare.
Lizzie was still pacing around and pondering all the new information when the doorbell rang.
I wonder whos here now? Lizzie thought as she answered the door.
She let out a sigh of relief when she saw it was Gordo.
He didn't know what to say. He just wrapped his arms around her and held her.
"Let it go baby, Let it go." He said to her.
And she did.
Lizzie loved the feeling of being in Gordos arms. He was strong, safe and supportive. She felt like nothing could touch her. She wanted to stay there forever. But alas, all good things must end.
"Lizzie I brought Miranda with me. We don't want you to spend the night alone. So you can either come to mine or Mirandas house or we can all stay here. Its your decision."
She smiled up at Gordo as he thought, Shes so beautiful.
"I think we should all stay here tonight," She replied.
"Okay, Let me just run out and tell Miranda." His smile melted her as he dashed outside.
God he looks good. Lizzie thought. No! I shouldn't be thinking like this. Not today. Not after everything that has happened. She shook her head as if to erase all thought.
Moments later Gordo and Miranda entered the house with tons of plastic bags filled with food. Lizzie looked at them, her eyes filled with questions.
"Comfort food" Miranda said simply.
Lizzie wanted to tell Miranda where she could shove her comfort food. But she fought the urge. She knew Miranda had also suffered from this loss and that she was just trying to make Lizzie feel better.
They spent all night reminiscing about the past and looking at old photo albums. Lizzie had yet to tell them of her discovery. She didn't know just how to tell them yet.
The next day Gordo was helping Lizzie pack up her stuff. She was going to stay with Miranda until she was old enough to move out.
As Lizzie was putting the last of her stuff in a box she found her letter. She sighed.
"Lizzie," Gordo asked. "Is something wrong?"
Lizzie decided not to put it off any more.
"Gordo, I found this yesturday in my moms t-shirt drawer."
She was on the verge of tears as she handed him the letter.
He read over it quickly and gave a low whistle.
"How do you feel about his?" He asked her.
"Im not sure, I mean, I don't think its even sunk in yet. And even if my mother wasn't related by blood, we had a stronger bond than that right?" Lizzie hurried on, "I mean. She is my real mother to me. She was my best friend, She was always there for me."
They heard the door close downstairs and they knew that Miranda was here to get Lizzie. Lizzie also knew that she had to tell Miranda about her real mother.
"Miranda we're upstairs" Lizzie called to her.
Lizzie gave Miranda the letter as soon as she got there. As Miranda finished reading the letter she looked up at Lizzie.
"What are you going to do about it?"
Lizzie looked startled. "I...I...what..." She stammered. "What do you mean? What can I do?"
"Well for one, you could find her if you want. I mean you already have her name."
"Miranda. Its not that easy. Lizzie was just given a big piece of her life. She may not want to do anything about it." Gordo looked at Miranda threateningly. His look said... SHUT UP.
But Lizzie looked like she liked the idea. Naturally she was curious.
"I guess I could look. Naturally I want to know about her. But I am not going to get into it all now. I want to wait until I get my life back together."
They all agreed although Gordo silently hated the idea.
That night Lizzie went to bed knowing that she would wake up alone.
