A/N: Thanks for the reviews. And I'm really sorry for not updating sooner it's just that I've been busy with school, and driving school but since I don't have school today I thought I should update, I might update tomorrow, and Wednesday. I will update my other stories too. I would like to thank nomad274 for reminding me to update my story. And all my reviewers that keep me writing.

I would tell you what's going to happen in this chapter but I think that you should just read and find out.

Later in the week Ethan called and told Lizzie that she got the job, Lizzie was so excited because she hasn't worked since before Camille was born. She and Camille went out for dinner that night with her parents, Matt, Melina, and James. James was such a cute little baby so is Camille. Lizzie found it kind of weird how Camille and James are around the same age, and that the same day that Lizzie became a mother, she also became an aunt.

Lizzie was to start work the following week. She would be the receptionist for Ethan, who was always busy so he obviously needed a receptionist fast. Ethan and Miranda's relationship was kind of on rocks; they were both so busy that they didn't see much of each other. So Lizzie had to think of something to get them together for one night with out work and she would have to do it so they wouldn't suspect a thing. She was going to do this because she had to keep herself occupied, and Gordo off her mind.

That next Monday Lizzie dropped Camille off at her parent's house and headed for work. Lizzie couldn't wait to get to work because she wanted to prove she didn't need Gordo but deep down she knew she needed him but not for money to pay the bills she could do that. She needed him because she loved him more than anything… the same with Camille.

She walked into work that day and Ethan showed her and told her what she would do, he also told her that if she learns a few things while working here she could become a realtor too. So she was kind of excited about that. She knew she would answer phones, file, etc.

Miranda stopped in that day to see Ethan.

"Hey Lizzie, I didn't know you worked here."

"Yeah I just started today."

"So how is Camille?"

"She's doing good. So how are you doing?"

"I'm doing good just always busy with school, and Ethan is always stuck here in the office. Our lives are totally different now. I wish that I could just get one night with him with no interruptions. I think that we should just end this but I really don't want to."

"Then don't. Oh, you can go in if you want."

"Okay, thanks Lizzie."

"You're welcome Randa."

She went back to work after that, she saw clients come and go some where happy, stressed, and just plain out confused. She started to pick up some things over two weeks of working there so she came up with a plan to get Miranda and Ethan together with NO INTERRUPTIONS. So she worked on at home. She went online and found a nice quiet restaurant, she would send them both notes saying to meet each other there. And Lizzie knew that it would talk more to get Ethan to go but she knew that she could convince him to go.

The next day Lizzie had sent Miranda a rose with a card that read:

Miranda,

I thought that we could use a night to ourselves with no interruptions, so I was thinking that you could meet me at 'Down to Earth' tonight for dinner.

Love forever and always,

Ethan

And she acted like Miranda left a note for him and that note read:

Ethan,

I was thinking that we could use a night to ourselves, without work or school getting in the way. So I was thing that you could meet me at 'Down to Earth' tonight for dinner.

Love forever and always,

Miranda

Lizzie thought to herself ' how is that I can help my friends with their relationship problems but I can't help my own relationship?'

Later that day Lizzie got a call from Miranda:

"Lizzie."

"Miranda." Lizzie mocked.

"Guess what?"

"What?"

"Ethan asked me to meet him at'Down to Earth'."

"Wow that's cool."

(A/n: Just so you know I made up the restaurant 'Down to Earth.')

"Yeah I can't believe that he's going to get away from work for dinner."

"That is so awesome."

"Hey Lizzie I got to go."

"Okay talk to you later."

They then hung up. Lizzie felt proud of herself she couldn't believe that this might actually work. Now all she had to do was convince Ethan to leave at 6 o' clock. She knew she could but she didn't know if it was going to be easy or not. So she had to start thinking of ways to get him out.

Well she just sat there working and thinking at the same time, she was always busy but she knew that she could one day become a realtor and help people find their dream homes, when she was stuck in a two room apartment. But she was happy where she lived.

It came to the time where she had to get Ethan out, so she walked into his office.

"Ethan don't you have that date with Miranda tonight?"

"Yeah."

"Well shouldn't you get going?"

"Yeah."

"Then why aren't you?"

"Because how can I, I have all this paperwork to get done."

"Don't worry I can finish the paperwork."

"Lizzie, you're so nice. But I don't think you know how to do the paperwork."

"You'd be surprised, what I actually know."

"Okay I'll give you a chance but I'm going to have to go over them in the morning."

"That's okay, just as long as you get going."

He left and Lizzie was happy with herself, probably happier then she thought she could be. She had to call her mom and tell her that she was going to be later then usual.

Gordo on the other hand at school kept himself busy by doing schoolwork and working on his next film project, and practicing for the next game every week. Lizzie would watch the games any chance she could get. He didn't play much mainly because he was new and a freshman. But she still enjoyed watching the game.

He knew that he and Lizzie would talk again soon, to work things out between them. He knows how he feels about her so he can't wait until they talk again to tell her how he really feels and talk everything out.

I've sure enjoyed the rain But I'm looking forward to the sun You have to feel the pain

When you loose the love you gave someone

I thought by now the time

Would take away these lonely tears

I hope you're doing fine all alone.

But where do I go from

Here 'cause

Without you I'm not okay

And without you

I've lost my way

My heart's stuck

In second place ooh

Without you

Well I never thought I'd be

Lying here without you by my side

It seems unreal to me that

The life you promised was a lie

You made it look so easy

Making love into memories

I guess you go what you wanted

But what about me 'cause

Without you I'm not okay

And without you I've lost my way

My heart's stuck in second place ooh

Without you

Somebody tell my head to try to tell my heart

That I'm better off without you

'Cause baby I can't live

Without you I'm not okay

And without you I've lost my way

My heart's stuck in second place ooh

Without you Without you

(A/N: I'm hoping this song helps. It's supposed to show how Lizzie and Gordo feel without each other I so hope it fits.)

Lizzie was happy when she was done with the paper she put them back in the folders and headed to pick up Camille. She couldn't wait to get to rest.

A/N: I hope you liked this chapter, I tried my best. Please review and tell me what you thought.
