Gordo knocked on Lizzie's door. He desperately needed to talk to her. Lizzie opened the door. She was in jeans and a light pink sweater.

As soon as Lizzie saw that it was Gordo she tried to shut the door in his face.

"Lizzie" Gordo said stopping her abruptly "I need to talk to you."

"About what?" Lizzie asked looking hurt "About how you left me at the dance to go and sleep with Isabella?"

"H-How?" Gordo stuttered" I-I didn't!"

"Stuff it Gordo" Lizzie scoffed" Isabella told me everything."

Gordo's face fell" So she did huh? Bitch?"

"Don't call her a bitch" Lizzie defended" It's not her fault Gordo it's yours."

Suddenly Gordo got mad. "Why do you care anyways?"

Lizzie stopped confused" I don't…I don't know."

"God why did this have to happen?" Gordo complained" I almost wish we never went to Rome."

Lizzie stepped outside and closed the door behind her. "Are you kidding Gordo? Rome was Amazing!"

"But Lizzie look through how much it's made you go through." Gordo looked into Lizzie's eyes. "Look how much Paolo changed You."

Lizzie bit her lip "He didn't really change me Gordo he just made me realize some things."

"Like?"

"Like you can't always have what you want and sometime…sometimes you have to loose something to gin something better."

"Explain please?" Gordo said.

"Like I had to realize that Paolo didn't like me but I got to sing in front of the Roman crowd. And while things probably wouldn't work out with me and Paolo that kind of an onstage performance is a chance of a lifetime."

"You're nuts but you must hone a lot of thinking."

"Yea I guess I have. Lizzie tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear. "I guess I got caught up in a fantasy world Gordo. But I don't want Paolo to come between out friendship. Or Isabella."

"I don't want that either." Gordo thought about how pretty Lizzie looked with that Innocent look in her eyes. "Ummm…Lizzie you wanna go to a movie with me today…tonight."

Lizzie not realizing what Gordo meant said "Ok what movie were you thinking of?"

Gordo saw that Lizzie didn't get his drift. Lizzie's next words got his full attention.

"I'd ask Miranda to go with us but she's gone."

"Gone?" Gordo asked alarmed "Gone where?"

Lizzie tried quickly to take back her words "Nowhere Gordo it doesn't matter."

"Yes it does matter Lizzie where did Miranda go?"

"To Rome ok! She pregnant…from Paolo!" Lizzie blurted out.

"What? Why didn't you stop her Lizzie?"

"Why should've I?" Lizzie asked obviously distressed "She betrayed me!"

"How Lizzie? He wasn't your boyfriend."

"She knew I like him!"

"Did she? Did you tell her?"

"Yea…"

"Before Paolo came here?"

'No. So what?"

"Well when did you tell her?"

"The day Isabella came. The day the project was due. Why?"

"Because. Didn't Paolo leave that afternoon?"

"So…?"

"Lizzie I don't think Miranda would go and sleep with Paolo right after you told her you like him. Besides she couldn't have found out she was pregnant this fast."

"Oh Gordo!" Lizzie started crying "what am I suppose to do?"

"It's ok" Gordo said giving her a hug. "Miranda will understand Lizzie. Look why don't we go to the movies tonight? You'll relax get this whole thing off of your mind."

Lizzie nodded.

"Ok then I'll come around at seven." Then Gordo and Lizzie said goodbye untik that night.
