Lizzie's POV

The movie is over and Kendra and I are walking home. I am going to my place to have a nice hot bath and then I'm going straight to bed so I can forget all about Gordo and everything that happend between him and I. Sure, I care about us making up, but I can't let it control my life. I don't need to waste my time mopping around. Things will work out and if they don't, then Gordo's not worth crying over. I still can't believe this figth started over Paulina out of all people. She's so shallow that she's like a million miles below sea level.

When we reached Kendra's driveway, I told her that I was going home.

"Alright," Kendra told me."But if you need anyone, call me, it doesn't matter what time it is," she told me. Aw! What a great friend she is. She's always there for me.

"Thanks," I hugged Kendra. "I'll call you when I gets out of the tub anyway, alright?"

"Okay," Kendra nodded her head. "Bye," she said.

"Bye," I called out as I ran into my house and up the stairs to get ready for my bath. I grabbed my under garments, jamers and my CD walkman. I grabbed a couple of towels and ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind me. I filled up the tub with really warm water and I had Strawberry bubble bath in there. I slipped off todays clothes and got in the tub. As soon as I was comfy, I put my earphones in my ears and listened to my CD.

Kendra's POV

I sure hope Lizzie will be okay. I mean that poor girl has had a ruff day. I look out my window and I see Gordo leaving Kyle's. They live a little ways down the street. I quickly run down the stairs and out my door and I catch Gordo before he goes into his house. "Hey..." I said.

Gordo glared at me. "Hello Kendra," he said in the cold tone.

"Whoa... what's wrong with you?" I asked. Gees, talk about someone with a bad attitude... maybe he caught it from Paulina.

"I know what your going to do, your going to tell me to make up with Lizzie, well listen, it's none of your buisness," Gordo yelled. "Now, goodbye," He left and went into his house.

What the heck was wrong with him? Maybe I should go ask Kyle. I walked to his house and knocked on the front door. He answered it. "Hi..." I said. "Now, don't you freak out at me too," I said.

Kyle looked at me. "You talked with Gordo, right?" he asked me.

"Yeah," I answered. "What's the matter with him?" I asked.

"Come inside, it's a long story," Kyle told me.

"Okay," I agreed.

Kyle led me up to his bedroom and I sat down on his bed while he sat down on a chair that was by his computer desk. "Okay, I was trying to get him to get Lizzie off of his mind, because he was having a really hard time with the fight they had," Kyle started to explain.

"Yeah, I know, I was trying to do the same with Lizzie," I told Kyle.

"Anyway, we was watching Catwoman and then he started talking about the time he watched the movie with Lizzie, and I told him that he had to stop thinking about her and he freaked out ... I guess he must of took it the wrong way or something... he's really angry now," Kyle fully explained.

"Oh, so maybe it would be a good thing if we leave Gordo alone, for now, right?" I asked Kyle.

He looked at me."Yup," he agreed. "So, what's you been up to lately?" he asked me.

"Just trying to cheer Lizzie up," I told Kyle.

"You're such a good friend, you know that?" Kyle smiled.

I blushed. I love Kyle some much. "Thanks," I said."But I'm so worried about Lizzie, I don't want her to get anymore sad than what she already is,"

Kyle put an arm around me. I blushed even more than. "Don't worry, things between them with work out," he told me.

I hugged Kyle. He and I are great friends, if only I could tell him the truth... that I love him, but the queston is, does he love me back? I sure hope so but for right now I'll focus on Lizzie and Gordo and then I'll think aout confessing my feelings towards Kyle.

Lizzie's POV

"That bath was so good," I said to myself as I walked across the hall to my room. I put on my CD player and now I'm going to call Kendra. I'm sure that she'll be happy to hear from me.I dial her number and someone answers the phone, it's her brother.

"Hello, is Kendra there?" I asked him.

"Sorry, Kendra's down the road. She's probably at Kyle's or Gordo's," her brother, Ken, told me.

"Oh, okay, bye!" I said and I hung up the phone. I grab a coat and I leave the house and run down the street. Yes! I got my jamers on but do you think that I care? Nope. Not at all. I'm going to check at Kyle's... because I am in no way in the mood to visit Gordo...oh crap... there he is... maybe I should speak to him... "Hi Gordo," I called out cheerfully.

Gordo gave me a strange look. "Listen Lizzie," he said to me. "I do not want to talk to you now and I'm not sure if I ever want to talk to you again," he said coldly before running down the street.

Tears form in my eyes."Gordo..." I started to cry. The next thing I know is that Kendra and Kyle is right by my side.

Kendra hugged me. "Lizzie, it's going to be okay..." she told me.

I started to cry evern harder. "No, it's not... I was right, Gordo hates me..." I was so hurt, so upset. Why me? Why? Stupid Paulina, this is all her fault.

Kyle looked at me. "No, you're wrong Lizzie," he told me. "He was really sad that you guys were fighting, he was mopping around all day, and he couldn't stop thinking about you... and all of a sudden he had a big freak out at me, then he freaked out at Kendra... so don't worry.. this will all blow over," he told me.

I looked at Kyle. He's a good friend, no wonder why Kendra's likes him... no, I don't, not in that way... I love Gordo, but right now, I seriously don't want nothing at all to do with him. More tears fell from my eyes. "Thanks Kyle," I said. "You guys, I'm going to go home now... I'll talk to you guys tomorrow," I told them and with that, I left them to go home to get some rest.

I walked into my house and the first person to approach me was my mother. "Lizzie, where have you been?" she asked me.

"I just had to run out for a minute..." I told her.

"Oh I see," Mom started to say. I knew that she was about to ask a million questions, I could tell it by the tone of her voice but the phone rang."Stay right there, I'm going to get that," she says before going to answer the phone. She returns in no less than a second with a worried look on her face. "Lizzie dear, that was Kyle's phone, he and Kendra have been hit by a car and are in the hospital," she tells me.

"What?" I yelled. I started to cry all over again. No, not them They are my only two friends at the moment seems Gordo's acting like a jerk lately.

Okay, that's it for now. Hope someone liked it. God Bless! Love y'all! xoxo
