Chapter 8. Surrender

The next year:

"Hey, gorgeous," Gordo said, kissing Lizzie's cheek. She smiled at him. She was wearing pink comfy sweatshirt and pants and her hair was up in a messy bun. Isabella was wearing a black mini-skirt with a purple shirt. Her hair was black, down and wavy. She bit her lip, looking at the time. "Hey Bella"

"Hi," Isabella replied. Lizzie looked at her.

"When was he supposed to come?" Lizzie asked. Isabella huffed.

"15 minutes ago," she said. Her boyfriend, Paolo, a hot Italian guy who made Isabella forget it all with a smile and his accent. Gordo caressed Lizzie's hand. The doorbell rang and Isabella ran to get it. She smiled. Paolo smiled back and got in. He looked at Lizzie and Gordo, who were already kissing, and the blonde waved at him.

"Ready to go?" he asked, his accent melting Isabella's anger. She nodded, waved at Lizzie and Gordo and they left.

Later that night:

"Wait, Gordo," Lizzie said in between his kisses while they made out in the couch. "Wait!" he stopped and looked at her.

"What's wrong?" Gordo asked. She looked down and sat again.

"I don't... I can't do it," Lizzie whispered. Gordo huffed and got up.

"Why, Liz? We've known each other since ever! We've been dating for over a year!" he exclaimed.

"You just wanna do this because all the other guys already did!" Lizzie yelled. "You don't make me feel special anymore..." Gordo looked at the blonde beauty and sat next to her.

"Baby... I'm sorry. I know I didn't make you feel special, but we... seem more like a routine. I didn't feel special myself..." Gordo replied as tears began to stream down Lizzie's face. "Though I should be. I'm with the girl of my dreams. I've loved you since we played in your backyard years ago..."

"I love you too," Lizzie whispered. "I should've make you feel special. I feel so comfortable around you... we don't have pressure. That's why I don't want us to rush things"

"Lizzie... I can't wait forever," Gordo finally confessed. "I understand you didn't feel special, but... my love has always been here..." he got up again and grabbed his jacket. "I should go now. Bye" he kissed her on the cheek and left sadly. Lizzie remained sitting, covered her face with her hands and sighed. The front door opened and Isabella rushed to the bathroom, crying. Lizzie looked up and ran after her.

"What's wrong, Tinkerbell?" she asked gently. Isabella looked up.

"He broke up with me!" she cried. Lizzie hugged her sister and stroked her hair as the tears covered her beautiful face. Isabella hid her face on Lizzie's shoulder. "What's wrong with you, Itsie Bitsy?" Lizzie shook her head.

"Gordo's so not better. C'mon, let's wash your face," Lizzie replied, evading her. Isabella nodded and they got up.

"Why? What did he do?" Isabella asked. Lizzie sighed and twirled a blonde lock of her hair.

"He wanted us to do it," Lizzie said.

"I thought you..." Isabella said. Lizzie shook her head.

"I don't know... I don't think we're in the right time of our relationship right now," Lizzie said. "Let's go get some chocolate" Isabella laughed.

"There's no better way a girl can forget about her dumb boyfriend than eating chocolate," she sarcastically said. Lizzie nodded.

"That's the spirit!" she exclaimed.

"I was being sarcastic," Isabella replied.

"You were? Anyway, I still want some. Our metabolism is great" Lizzie grabbed her twin's hand and they walked down.

End of chapter.

"If that's the way you want it
Well there you go
Baby you can have it all,
Now that you just let me go
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I waited here for so long
Thinkin' that you'd see
You just kept on runnin' away
You make your misery my company

Open up your eyes
Don't you know you only get one life

Oh, you drive me crazy
Oh, you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all around
All you have to do is just surrender, just surrender

All the pain in your heart,
All the tears in your empty soul
And when you're spinnin' round and around
I'm the psycho goin' outta control

Open up your eyes
Don't you know you're only wasting time

Oh, you drive me crazy
Oh, you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all around
All you have to do is just surrender, just surrender

You know it doesn't matter what you do
Don't you know I'm so over you

Open up your eyes
Don't you know that it's your life

Oh, you drive me crazy
Oh, you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all around
All you gotta do...

Oh, you drive me crazy
Oh, you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all around
All you gotta do is just surrender, just surrender

If that's the way you want it
Well there you go"
