Gordo dialed Lizzie's cell phone number again. "This number is not available at this time" said a computerized voice." Gordo put down the phone. Lizzie wasn't home and she wasn't answering her cell phone. What if something happened to her? Or maybe she was just making out with Paolo at the moment.
Gordo grabbed his jacket and stopped by the mirror. He looked at himself. There he was in a green t-shirt and jeans. His hair was all over the place. Well Lizzie would just have to take him the way he was or not at all. But Lizzie was the one person he really did love and really would change for. At least a little. He got jell from the bathroom and jelled his hair back leaving only the ends to curl up a bit. "What am I thinking" Gordo muttered disgusted with himself.
He threw on his jacket and walked to the park. It was dusk and at first he didn't see th girl sitting on the swing with her head bowed as she cried.
Gordo walked over and sat down on the swing next to the girl. She looked up at him. "Lizzie?" Gordo asked only half surprised. "He left Gordo" she sobbed.
"What?"
"Paolo left. He left the country. He left and told me to stuff it!"
"He said that to you?" Gordo asked anger in his voice.
"In less harsh words but that was his point."
Gordo put his arm around Lizzie "Forget about him Lizzie. He's a jerk he doesn't deserve you."
"Gordo I like him…I love him…I don't know how it happened."
'Lizzie come on lets go some where…you'll get him off your mind."
"Gordo" Lizzie yelled jumping up" I am heartbroken hear! Do you think I can just forget about it?"
"Lizzie wait I just wanted the best I didn't mean to hurt you I lo…." Gordo caught himself suddenly before he could blurt out a confession. Suddenly he was angry at himself and angry at the world. "Her you stand Elizabeth Brook McGuire crying your eyes over a cad who doesn't deserve you who tried to use you and who probably only wants one thing from a girls…sex!"
"Gordo! Don't say that!" Lizzie protested.
Gordo ignored her and continued "And why? Because he has good looks, a lot of money, and he knows the best pick up lines which he uses without thinking about it!"
"Shut up Gordo!" Lizzie cried. "I thought that as my friend you would be sympathetic but you never thought of that? All you wanna do is throw accusations!" Then she turned around and ran away.
Gordo sank on the swing and put his head down. Great now she would be mad at him. "Gordo" there was a soft voice behind him and he saw Isabella standing there.
