Chapter 11. Giving It All Away

"Rome... here we are," Lizzie said. Isabella nodded. They were having some 'gelatto', looking at the 'Fontana Di Trevi'. "This is cool, right?"

"Totally," Isabella agreed. Lizzie nodded slowly and a cute guy approached to her.

"Ciao! I am Pablo," he said, staring at Lizzie. She smiled at him.

"I'm Lizzie, and she's Isabella," Lizzie replied.

"Lizzie, do you want to go for a walk?" Pablo asked. Lizzie looked at Bella, who nodded.

"Oh, don't worry about me. I still have to call mom and Randa," Bella said. Lizzie smiled again and got up.

"Bye, Bella!" Lizzie said excitedly. Pablo waved at her.

"See ya!" Bella replied.

"You do not remember me, right?" Pablo asked. Lizzie shook her head. "My name is not Pablo. I am Paolo"

"Omigosh... Bella's ex-boyfriend?" Lizzie said. He nodded. "B-But... why are you here with me?"

"See, Isabella never liked me. She was in love with someone else," Paolo said. "That is why I broke up with her" Lizzie bit her lip, thinking, and looked back at her sister.

3 weeks later, flying back home:

"I-I don't know how I feel!" Lizzie suddenly blurted out. Isabella stared at her, Lizzie looked panicked. "I'm not ready to face him!" Isabella bit her lip.

"Lizzie, when you'll see him, you'll know," Isabella said.

"What if he changed? What if he has a girlfriend, or joined a freaky cult?" Isabella smiled a little. "Don't laugh! Three weeks is a long time!" Lizzie exclaimed. Isabella nodded.

"Okay, calm down," Isabella said. "We're going there and you're going to give him a hug. Think about Pablo! He was really sweet!" Lizzie bit her lip and nodded.

"He gave me his e-mail..." Lizzie said. Isabella smiled and Lizzie took a deep breath. The plane finally landed and the girls went down. "Where are they?" Lizzie looked at her sister, but Isabella was frozen.

"Wow," Isabella muttered. Her eyes were glued on a taller, musclar and even hotter Gordo. He smiled at them. "3 weeks sure is a long time..."

"Hi!" Lizzie cheered, running to hug their mom. Her blonde hair was even shinier and neatly curled. She was wearing a white mini-skirt with a pink tank top and sandals. Isabella followed her slowly, wearing baggy, faded and ripped jeans with a black sweatshirt and old trainers. Gordo smiled at her and waved.

"Hey," he said. Isabella smiled back and they hugged. He stared at Lizzie, amazed. She gave him a smile then turned to Miranda. Isabella sighed.

'It's always going to be the same,' she thought sadly while her mom hugged her.

"So, how was Rome?" Gordo asked later. He was driving them back home. Isabella shrugged, feeling broken inside. He didn't seem to have eyes for any other girl than Lizzie, who was incredibly giggly.

"It was the coolest!" Lizzie exclaimed. Gordo looked at Isabella's face in the rearview mirror. He noticed a tear streaming down her cheek and she wiped it off quickly, but not enough. He bit his lip and pulled on the McGuire's house.

"Bella, your mom gave me a list of things to shop. Wanna come?" he asked. Isabella shrugged and nodded, not even bothering to look up. Lizzie got into the house, gave them a little wave and he drove off again. "Now, what's wrong?"

"Nothing," Bella said with a muffled voice. He smirked.

"I've known you since you've been born. Talk to the big guy," Gordo said. "Why were you crying?"

"I've cried in the inside too many times, smiling outside. I'm sorry you had to see me once," Isabella coldly said. "It'll pass. I'm not in the best of the moods" He nodded slowly and parked the car on a side. "What?"

"I just wanna help you," Gordo whispered. She shook her head and smiled sadly.

"Just... don't. Let me cry," she whispered back. He nodded, but went to the backseat and held her. She hid her face on his chest and sobbed quietly while he stroked her hair gently.

"Hello?" Lizzie said, while picking up the phone.

"Lizzie? It's Kate. Can you meet me at the park in 5?" Kate's voice asked.

"Sure, I'll be there"

"Great. Bye!" Kate said.

"Ciao," Lizzie replied. She left a quick note on the counter and walked to the park. Kate was already there. "Hey"

"Hi... how was Rome?" Kate asked. Lizzie smiled. "Okay... I wanted to talk to you about Isabella" Lizzie sat next to her, worried.

"Why? Is she okay?" Lizzie asked. Kate remained silent.

"Kind of. She's been ignored for a really long time," Kate replied. Lizzie stared at her. "A guy doesn't notice her. She acts like she doesn't care, but it's killing her"

"Paolo was right... She never said anything," Lizzie muttered. "Who's that guy?" Kate shook her head.

"That I can't tell. But she's a really good person," she replied. Lizzie nodded and Kate got up. "I gotta go. I'll see you soon!" Lizzie nodded again and she left.

End of chapter.

"Hey you, living for tomorrow
You sell your dreams for a pocket of change
Hey you, smokin' up your sorrow,
Just pointing fingers at someone to blame
Hey you, you turn your back on your children
It's left you in that big burning bed
This life's like livin in the gutter
All this pain just makes you feel dead

You're just givin it all, givin it all away
You're just givin it all, giving it all away, hey, hey yayayay

Slow down
Just look a little closer
You might find thats its not the end
You wonder how, your life can get better
When you're alone you just tear yourself down

You're just givin it all, giving it all away,
You're just givin it all, givin it all away
You're just givin it all, giving it all away,
You're just givin it all, giving it all away, hey, hey yayayay

Try and find your better half now
Open your eyes, and find yourself

Hey girl, screamin for attention
Once you get it, you throw it away
I'm broken, I'm pickin up the pieces
I won't live in all your mistakes

I'm just givin it all, givin it all away
I'm just givin it all, giving it all away,
I'm just givin it all, giving it all away,
I'm just givin it all, giving it all away, hey, hey yayayay"

I, I don't know why
Why you need some reason to feel lost inside
You, you know that I'm alright
You know that I'm just the kind of girl that feels so hurt and smiles

I don't use excuses
Don't ask why
It's just a breakdown
It happens all the time
So get out of my face
Don't even try
Ya wanna help me, just let me cry

Yeah I loved you all my life
You don't even know a thing I feel inside
Know, by the look in my eye
That I'm just fine but I might need you to hold me tight

I don't use excuses
Don't ask why
It's just a breakdown
It happens all the time
So get out of my face
Don't even try
Ya wanna help me, just let me cry

I had a bad day, I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry
I had a bad day, I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry
I had a bad day, I 'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry
I had a bad day, I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry

Just let me... cry

Just let me cry, I'm crying, I'm breaking down...
I'm breaking down just let me cry

I don't use excuses
Don't ask why
It's just a breakdown
It happens all the time
So get out of my face
Don't even try
Ya wanna help me, just let me cry

I don't use excuses
Don't ask why
It's just a breakdown
It happens all the time
So get out of my face
Don't even try
Ya wanna help me, just let me cry"
