Chapter 7

Lizzie's House

As Lizzie pulled up into her driveway she noticed Gordo was already there.

"Hey Brooke!" Gordo called as he stepped outside of Lizzie's house

"Hey daddy" Brooke said as she ran up to Gordo who scooped her off the ground

"How was your day?"

"It was great, we went to IHOP, and had pancooks and then to the toy store and I got a Barbie Jeep"

"You did? Man you really did have fun" He told Brooke as he put her down and walked over to Lizzie who was struggling with something big in the trunk.

"Wow" Gordo said "Did they have a sell cause the last time I was there it was $300"

"um... actually" Lizzie said getting nervous "It was $300 when we brought it" thinking he would get mad.

"You gave her a hundred dollars?" Gordo asked amazed

"uh huh" Lizzie nodded

"Brooke Elizabeth Gordon, come here"

Lizzie dropped her mouth when she heard Brooke's full name Oh My God! He gave her my first name too!?!

"yes daddy"

"Did you make Lizzie get this for you?"

"No Gordo, she didn't see anything she wanted so I suggested the jeep, she liked it and I got it for her" Lizzie lied

"Are you sure Lizzie?"

"yeah, positive"

"well let me pay you back" Gordo said taking out his wallet

"No its okay, it's the least I could do for a sweet girl like Brooke" Lizzie smiled at Brooke

Gordo sighed looking at the little girl who was innocently looking up at her daddy "Thanks Lizzie I really appreciate it"

"No problem"

"you ready to go Brooke, we got to go to Chuck E. Cheese"

"No I don't wanna go, I wanna stay with Lizzie" She said embracing Lizzie's legs

"Awe that is so sweet" Lizzie said rubbing Brooke's back

"Lizzie can you be my mommy?" Brooke asked looking up at Lizzie, causing both Lizzie and Gordo to look at each other and blush

"um... I'm sorry Brooke but we can be best friends ok?" Lizzie said "c'mon, lets get this jeep out the trunk so you can play"

"Ok!" Brooke yelled running to the back of the trunk trying to pull out jeep (a/n: like she was actually doing something)

Gordo and Lizzie laughed and walked over to the trunk to help Brooke.

"Gordo do you want to um... talk about last night?" Lizzie asked stopping to look at Gordo

"yeah sure" Gordo said also stopping to look at Lizzie.

Both were staring at each other for a while until Brooke broke in "Hello daddy, Lizzie, my jeep!"

"Oh... we're sorry Brooke" Gordo said breaking the stare down (a/n: ha looks like Lizzie won)

"yeah we're sorry" Lizzie said also turning to Brooke

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They finally got the jeep out and Brooke was riding around and Lizzie and Gordo sat on the front porch talking.

"Gordo about what we talked about on the phone"

"whew, I thought you wanted to talk about what happened in your room" Gordo said relieved

"we're going to get to that"

"oh... so what about on the phone"

"you said you loved me, did you mean it? Did you mean everything you said?"

"yes Lizzie with all my heart, If I could go back in time I would have stopped myself from saying what I said"

"Gordo, I forgive you, we should always forgive our friends, we shouldn't live in the past"

"yeah, but I said some awful things to you and none of it was true"

"Gordo! Its ok, I know you didn't mean it, ok?"

"yeah"

"so you really do love me?"

"yes I do"

"for how long?"

"lets not get into that because that's a lot of explaining"

"ok, now about what happened in my room last night"

"oh boy"

Lizzie chuckled "Gordo I'm serious, we had Brooke in between us and we almost...almost...almost..."

"kissed?"

"yes, we almost kissed, how do you feel about that? Since you love me, did you want it to happen ?" (a/n: the real question Lizzie is did YOU want it to happen)

"yes, I wanted it to happen, more than anything"

"wow,I..."

"what?" Gordo asked hoping she would say that she loved him and wanted to kiss him he thought for sure she was reaching up to him last night and she didn't tell him to get off of her either.

"nothing"

"oh" Gordo heart just broke (a/n: shame on you Lizzie) "well let's talk about you, so you've been living in Virginia"

"yup"

"looking for Grant?"

Lizzie started to get uneasy and turned away. I can't tell him what happened between me and Grant, its too embarrassing.(a/n: that's what you get Lizzie, you should have never left him in the first place to go be with some stupid Grant have y'all noticed all the heart breakers are named Grant they just want to see a girl cry over them #$& oh sorry lets get back to the story )

"Miranda told me you two were getting married, what happened?"

"everything" Lizzie sadly said looking down at her feet as a few tears fell to the ground (a/n: see look shes crying and who did this to her Grant! #$#)

Gordo noticed and started rubbing her back to comfort her "I'm sorry, do you want to talk about it?"

Lizzie looked up and smiled "He hurt me twice Gordo and you were there for me the first time and you're here for me now and I'm just sorry for the way I treated you but I can't talk about it right now"

"Lizzie its ok, I forgive you and whenever you wanna talk just know I'm here"

"thanks Gordo"

ring, ring

"uh, Lizzie? Aren't you gonna get the phone?"

ring, ring

"Mom and Matt are in there, we have a lot of catching up to do"

"Lizzie, its for you!" Matt called

"Ok maybe later" Lizzie laughed getting up to get the phone

"Here" Matt said handing her the cordless phone at the door

"Hello?" Lizzie asked sitting back down beside Gordo.

"Hey Lizzie"

"Oh hey Miranda, what's up?"

"I told you I was gonna call but I didn't think you would be this hard to contact, where you been all day?"

"I babysat Brooke today, we hung out places"

"aww why didn't you call me I would have loved to join you"

"sorry"

"Its ok, so I told you, you was going to be surprised"

"yeah I know, but she's a great kid"

"Hey Lizzie, Brooke is getting tired I'll see you later, here I made this for you after you left" Gordo said cutting into their conversation and handing Lizzie a cassette tape (a/n: well well what's this a tape I wonder what it has on it hmmm.....)

"okay, bye"

"what?"

"no Miranda, I was talking to Gordo he said goodbye"

"oh.... I noticed some tension between you two when you and him were bringing Brooke downstairs to go home"

"what!? What tension?"

"its obvious he has feelings for you, what you didn't notice?"

"naw, he didn't come here to tell me that he loves me"

"no need for sarcasm Lizzie, so he said he loves you?"

"yes Miranda, and you don't know how much I wanted to say the same"

"so why didn't you?"

"I don't know I'm just stupid" (a/n: got that right)

"yeah everyone knows that, but you'll think of something"

"yeah"

SILENCE

"so does Gordo have a band?"

"yeah, him, Ethan, Larry and some guy named Kyle"

"oh"

"why?"

"he gave me this tape he said he made for me after I left"

"really? I've been dying to hear it but he wouldn't let me, he wanted you to be the first to hear it"

"oh"

"so listen to it and call me back"

"ok bye"

"bye"

Lizzie hung up the phone and went upstairs to listen to the tape.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lizzie sighed and looked at the tape that was in her hands. She closed the door to her room and placed the tape into the stereo, and she heard Gordo's voice.

Lizzie if you're listening to this tape, you really do care for me. I wrote this song to tell you how I feel and that I love you. I hope you like it
