Chapter 11
"Hey dad, hey sweetie" Lizzie greeted as she walked into Sam's workshop
"Hey Lizzie" Sam and Gordo said in unison (geeks)
"Gordo, Brooke wants to go home so I'll see you tomorrow I'm staying here tonight"
"What!?"
"Okay I guess I'll leave you two alone" Sam said as he headed back to the house
"We're engaged now Lizzie and we only seen each other for what, three days after six years, don't you think we owe it to ourselves to know each other more because we've only known each other as friends, you should move in with us so we can catch up"
"You're right Gordo let's not rush into this, lets go home and talk to catch up"
"Ok"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gordo's house
"Brooke, why don't you play with your jeep while Lizzie and I go inside and talk" Gordo said pulling into the driveway.
"Ok!" Brooke exclaimed getting out of the car "but are you and Lizzie going to make those weird noises like you did last night?"
Gordo and Lizzie looked at each other and blushed "No Brooke just go play with your jeep"
"Ok" Brooke rolled her eyes, and left the car and hopped in her jeep.
"Kids" Gordo shook his head
"No…your kid" Lizzie started laughing
"Not funny McGuire"
"C'mon let's go inside"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lizzie P.O.V.
"So lets catch up," Gordo said slyly. He closed the door behind him and took Lizzie by the hips and pulled her close, Lizzie giggled, their lips were inches apart. Lizzie felt a chill run down her spine and her knees got weak as Gordo got closer to her. Something that never happened to her when she was with what's his name? She was thinking nothing about the man who broke her heart she left all feelings for him in Virginia. The only thing on her mind was Gordo, she knew he had to be the one for her. It felt right, like all the pieces of her puzzle had finally been put together. She wasn't giving this feeling up for anything. She loved this man…
SCREEECH!!!! CRASH!!!!!
"Oh my God! Gordo, what was that?!" Lizzie exclaimed breaking from the moment and rushing outside to find a little pink and purple heap of plastic that looked like it used to be a Barbie jeep similar to the one she brought…
"Brooke!!!" Gordo yelled seeing the same pink and purple debris that was left of a jeep, he ran to find his daughter lying on the ground lifeless, and warm blood flowing from her head.
"Oh my God!!" Lizzie sobbed falling to her knees she couldn't believe it, she didn't want to Lizzie a voice echoed in her ears as she was deep in thought the world was oblivious to her, time had stopped Lizzie! The voice grew louder as the figure shook her back to reality
"Lizzie! We need to go to the hospital, drive the car behind the ambulance, I'm riding with Brooke, she'll pull through, don't worry" Gordo said with doubt in his eyes.
All Lizzie could do was nod her head, take the keys, and follow the ambulance. Her body took over the driving; it was almost like sleep walking, she wasn't aware of what she was doing or where she was going. She was brought back to reality once again, with a simple, gentle, loving touch and found herself holding hands with Gordo in the waiting room of a hospital.
"Gordo, it's all my fault, I should have never-I should have… I-I…" Lizzie cried uncontrollably as she choked on her words trying to keep the tears in.
"Lizzie its not your fault it was an accident don't worry she'll pull through, look why don't you call your parents while I check on Brooke"
"No, I'm want to see her"
"You will, just call everyone and you can come right in"
"Ok"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gordo's P.O.V.
As Lizzie went to call everybody, Gordo couldn't help but be angry at himself for telling Brooke to go play with her jeep. He let lust get the better of him, he became insensible to his daughter when Lizzie's around. Lizzie!! Why did she have to come back and refresh my feelings for her? Why did she have to propose to me!? My daughter was the center of my universe until she came back!! Brooke wouldn't even have left my eyesight. Why does love hurts so much that it causes the ones you love to hurt as well? Brooke didn't deserve this! Sigh I shouldn't get mad at Lizzie either nor myself it wasn't our fault.
"Ugh!!!!" Gordo screamed punching the wall and putting a huge dent in it. The nurses were startled and started staring at him "sorry I'll pay for it" Gordo managed to get out as he opened the door to Brooke's room to see only an empty be, thoughts raced through his mind as tears started to stream down his face No! She can't be… She can't die!
"Mr. Gordon?"
Gordo turned around to see Dr. Warren in the doorway
"Yes"
"I've been looking for you to tell you that we had to put Brooke back in surgery for some internal bleeding we found when the MRI came back, hopefully we can stop it"
"Ok, thank you, is she alright?"
"Well your daughter's brain activity is slow so she can easily slip into a coma but we are doing our best to help your daughter"
"Thank you"
"No problem Mr. Gordon" said Dr. Warren as he left the room, Lizzie entered.
"Gordo where's Brooke?"
"They took her back to surgery, she has internal bleeding"
"I'm so sorry Gordo, it hurts me just as much as it hurts you" Lizzie cried
"No Lizzie! You'll never feel the pain I feel, Never!" and with that Gordo stormed out and slammed the door leaving Lizzie in the room in the room crying
I hate this! Why!? God, I know I shouldn't question you but why my daughter? My innocent loving daughter, she don't deserve this, she's only three, if this is a test, God help me pull through I need my daughter, I love her too much. God I know you have this master plan for everything, I just don't want my little girl to die, please don't let her die, she's all I have, God I pray that you will answer my prayer. Gordo sat in the waiting room praying and hoping he would see his daughter again.
"Gordo?"
"What Lizzie" Gordo said harshly through clenched teeth
"You're right, I can never feel the way you feel until I have a child, but I love her just like she is my child so I'm hurting as well, don't push me away Gordo, don't ruin this for Brooke, right now she needs you just like you need her"
"Thanks Lizzie, I'm sorry for the way I yelled at you" Gordo said with tears running down his face
"Its okay sweetie" Lizzie said with tears also as she softly gave him a kiss on the lips and embraced him
"I love you too sweetie"
"Gordo, Lizzie?" Jo called entering the waiting room with Matt and Miranda close behind
"Hey mom" Lizzie pulled away from Gordo to greet Jo, Matt, and Miranda
"Hey Jo and Miranda" Gordo greeted ignoring Matt who came in also.
"Hey Gordo, how is she" Jo asked
"Well she's back in surgery, they found internal bleeding and…hold on" Gordo was interrupted by his cell phone.
"Hello?"
"David?"
"What now Jacob?"
"Well sir if we are going to meet the deadline, don't you think we should work on it, I haven't seen you since Saturday"
"Jacob, yesterday was Saturday"
"I know but its 11:50 so it might as well be midnight which is Monday"
"Look I've been going through a lot today, can we please talk about this tomorrow after I do the interview with whatever the name of the anchorwoman?"
"Sure boss, see you tomorrow"
"Whatever" Gordo hung up the phone looking even more stressed out.
"Gordo what was that about?" Lizzie asked noticing Gordo's expression
Gordo heavily sighed, "It was Jacob, my new assistant, he wanted to talk about some deadline"
"Stop stressing, it'll be okay," Lizzie said in a soothing voice
"Mr. Gordon?" Dr. Warren entered
"Yes" Gordo said jumping up anxiously waiting on good news of Brooke
"Could we step outside, I need to talk to you privately"
"Sure" Gordo said as he grabbed and squeezed Lizzie's hand as they both followed Dr. Warren out of the waiting room and into the hall.
" This isn't going to be easy I was hoping to only tell you good news but unfortunately I have some bad news to go along with it. The good news is we were able to stop the internal bleeding. But the bad news is, that she slipped into a coma, we really don't know how long she is going to stay that way but we are guessing at 2-3 weeks tops, but we will do anything and everything to help Brooke recover"
"Thank you Dr. Warren" Lizzie and Gordo said
"You're welcome" Dr. Warren said as he walked through the ER doors.
Lizzie grabbed Gordo's hand and led him back into the waiting room
Jo, being the first to jump up at the sight Gordo and Lizzie entering, ran to them "how is she? I s she ok?" Jo asked anxiously waiting for an answer.
"They stopped the bleeding but she still slipped in a coma" Gordo said, going back to a depressed state when he repeated what the doctor said
Jo put her hand over mouth in shock to hear the news "oh my God"
"I'm so sorry Gordo" Miranda cried, getting up and hugging him
"Yeah, man, I'm sorry too" Matt said, obviously uncomfortable with the situation, as he stuck out his hand for a handshake
Gordo reluctantly took it "thanks"
"Mom, me and Gordo are going home to get a few things, could you guys here until we come back?"
"Sure sweetie do you need the house key?"
"Mom, I meant me and Gordo's home"
"Oh, you moved in already?" Jo asked disappointed
"Well not fully most of my stuff is there, not all of it though"
"Oh ok we'll stay here until you two get back"
"Thanks Jo" Gordo said as he and Lizzie both left
A/N: I want to take this time again to apologize for the old chapter 11 I hoped you like this one. I got the idea for this chapter from somebody I can't think of their name right now but when I remember I will give a special thanks on the next chapter. I hoped you Read it and I hoped you Enjoyed it. Now please Review it
And for those who don't know: Yes Gordo is jewish of course and jews do believe in God the same as christians they just don't believe that Jesus is the son of God like christians do so Gordo praying does not go against his religion
And to those who wanna know who Dr. Warren is, he's not a real doctor he's my sexy basketball coach that's why I love livin in VA you get young sexy teachers and coaches that way school isn't boring
