Alrighty, here we are chapter 3 this is a big one for me, because I normally don't get past chapter 1. LOL, anyways, I own nothing except Shane, and maybe some lint. So I need you belongs to 3 Doors Down.
If you could step into my head, tell
Me would you still know me
If you woke up in my bed, tell me
Then would you hold me
Or would you simply let it lie,
Leaving me to wonder why
I can't get you out of this head
I call mine
And I will say
We had the perfect wedding night. We checked into the nicest hotel and occupied the honeymoon suite for the night. We decided that we should enjoy our first night being married since neither one of us knew how our parents would react. We both knew deep down that the recation wouldn't be good, and we weren't going to be torn apart, not now, not ever. Not even death will take her from me. I finally had her and she swore to be mine forever, while I swore to be hers. That wasn't a promise to be broken and I would put my own life on the line to make sure that it wasn't.
I was watching her sleep prepareing myself for all the possible things that could happen today. Finally, I was hers and she was mine. I couldn't believe that loveing someone as much as I love her was possible, but it is. I was determined to wake up like this every morning. Her in my arms and me watching her sleep her peaceful dreams.
"Mmmm." Lizzie called her eyes fluttering open. "Good morning husband."
"Morning wife. You ready to get some breakfast?"
"I guess, but I really could stay here forever."
"Well, as much as I'd love for us to, we need to get up, get home, and let our families and friends on this secret."
"Oh your no fun." Lizzie joked
"Where are you going?"
"To take a shower. Want to watch?" She teased.
"I'd rather join." I said following her.
After a long shower and some breakfast at IHOP, we headed back to Hilridge. I knew our parents had to be worried. After all I had done lately I figured my parents would have the cops looking for me. I couldn't help but feel a little tense as we pulled into my drive. Lizzie must have noticed, because she grabbed my hand.
"It'll work itself out. We are meant to be together, everyone knows that." She said then kissed me for reasurance.
"Well, here it goes." I whispered to myself.
"Mo-" I called
"Suprise! Congradulations you two!" My parents, Lizzies, and our friends yelled jumping out of everywhere.
"What? You mean your not mad?" We asked.
"Well, we were at first," Jo said. "But your parents and us looked at what we were gaining, and how happy you two make each other so we got over it. We're only upset that we couldn't have been a part of it."
"How did you guys find out?" Lizzie questioned
"Next time you come over in the middle of the night don't be so loud." Roberta Gordon said.
"Well, I guess thats something you won't have to worry about." I said, "Lets get this party started."
Now that was a pleasent suprise and our parents brought up a good question. Where were we going to live. Of course we could stay with them, but eventually, we would have to get a place of our own. We couldn't afford a house, so our only option was to get an apartment.
While talking to our parents, they told us that they wanted us to finish high school, for us not to worry about finding a place until after then. They really wanted us to go to college, but that choice was up to us and that they weren't going to support us through it. So, we had to find a place to live soon after graduating, and only if we both got a full scholarship and went to the same college we could live in campus housing.
We both were accepted to UCLA, and I had a choice to go anywhere I wanted. My first year of college was paid for since I was Valedictorian. All Lizzie had to do was find out if the state would give her the grant to go. with only a couple of months left till graduation, it wasn't looking promiseing.
Oh no I can't let you go,
My little girl
Because you're holding up my
World, so I need you
Your imitation of my walk and the
Perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million
Things that I love about you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
A few weeks after the party:
"Gordo! It's here! It's here!"
"Whoa, Whoa, Liz calm down. What's here?"
"The letter about my FASFA!"
"Well? Did you open it?" I asked sharing in her excitement.
"No, I mean what if they turned me down?"
"Liz, we talked about this. You even said yourself that you didn't know what you wanted to do yet."
"Yeah, your right. Well, lets get to it." Said said tearing the letter open. "Dear Lizzie McGuire, We regret to. I didn't get it." She said with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry Liz, but it was a long shot anyway, you filed it before we got married, and when your parents were supporting you." I told her kissing her head.
"I guess this means we're going to New York." she said looking in my eyes.
"Wha- What."
"Oh come on Gordo! you and I both know that that's where you want to go. So lets go. Theres no reason for you to sell yourself short. Besides, I bet I can find a good job there I mean, I could be a photgrapher, a fasion designer, a model, The possibilities are endless. With you there I know that no matter what I do it will be great. Because I'm married to the soon to be world famous, bigger than Stephen Spielburg, movie director."
"Have I told you how much I love you lately?" I said kissing her then picking her up and carrying her inside to our bedroom in her parents house.
So I need you
And if I jumped off the Brooklyn
Bridge, tell me would you
Still follow me
And if I made you mad today, tell
Me would you still love me
Tomorrow? Please
Or would you say that you don't
Care, and then leave me
Standing here
Like the fool who is drowning in
Despair and screamin'
"Lizzie, are you sure that you really want to go to the east coast. Her mother asked for the millionth time that morning.
"Yes mom I am. If I can't go to school this year, why should Gordo sell himself short? We both deserve to be happy and I'll be happy where ever he is." She said with a smile on her face. "Besides Miranda and Larry will be there, so we'll get and apartment together. We'll be safe," She looked down at her watch "And if we keep talking about this we'll miss gradution. So hurry up and lets go."
"And now a few words from this years Valedictorian, a most amazing, inspireing and supriseing person, David Gordon."
"My fellow seniors, this year has been packed full of good times and bad. One suprise right after another and now this day has arrived. I remeber our freshman year, small fish in a big pond as they would tell us. Our first big high school party and nights spent dreaming if you were going to ever get the girl. Out of all the bad times I've had, I wouldn't trade any of them to have a different outcome. My fellow seniors, I wish you all the happiness I feel everyday in the rest of your lives. Thank you, this long ride has been fun, but now we must go live our own lives."
"Now it's time for the diplomas."
Oh no I can't let you go,

World, so I need you
Your imitation of my walk and the
Perfect way you talk

"Mom, I'm really going to miss you. I'll be sure to send you stuff from New York and call you at least every week." Lizzie cried.
"It's ok sweetie, you'll be alright. Gordo will be there to look after you. You two just be sure to take care of each other, alright." Jo said smiling at her daughter and her husband.
"We will, I love you mom."
"I love you too, you better go or your going to miss your plane."
"Alright. Bye mom, dad and Matt." Lizzie finally said and got into the car to ride to the airport.
Lizzie POV
"Bye Gordo, bye Larry, see you when you get there." Miranda and I said before hopping on our plane. We had to finalize the plans for the apartment before we actually moved in so Gordo and Larry were going to drive up with our things for our new home They claimed that they wanted a cross country trip anyway.
"Well, that went easier than I thought. Miranda said settleing into her seat.
"What do you mean easier, we are just going to be separated from them for a few days." I said giving her a funny look.
"Well, Larry hasn't been letting me out of his sight for two weeks at the most."
"He loves you Randa, besides, I just hope they make it for you birthday." I said with a smirk, acting like I was falling asleep.
"They will Liz, oh great sleep on me when I'm talking to you."
So I need you
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
Oh no I can't let you go, my

"When are they going to get here!" I yelled. Randa and I had been here for 3 days. Since Gordo and I are still in the newly wed faze, I was ready to christen our new house and he wasn't here to do it.
"Chill Liz, you don't see me fretting ouver Larry do you?"
"Yeah play like you weren't dreaming about all the naughty things you wanted to do to him last night."
"And just how do you know that I was hmmm?"
"Because you talk in your sleep. I'm just glad that I get to room with Gordo and not you."
"I do not talk, and besides, if I did it's nothing compared to your snoring!"
"I do not snore! Miss, Larry oh Larry! Yes thats it there... Harder!!! Faster... Oh please don't stop. OHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Thats it! This is W-A-R!" and with those words she hit me with a pillow.
"Look Lar, we showed up just in time. Glad to know that we can be gone for 3 days without them killing each other." Gordo laughed.
"GORDO! Miranda said I snore!" I pouted.
"Yeah, but only after Lizzie said I talked in my sleep." Miranda defended.
"Lizze, you don't snore, it's more like a fog horn!" Gordo joked.
"Ugh, that means I'm going to have to christen the house by myself." I said stalking off towards my room.
"Lizzie, I was just kidding." Gordo replied following me.
"Well," said closing the door. "Now that I got you to myself. I can't wait to catch up on the time we missed." I said seductively. "Come here and kiss me!"
This was the hardest chapter for me to write. I had such a hard time getting it where I wanted, and I changed my mind so many times about where I wanted it to go. I definately know its not my best work and that it's shorter than the rest. I just hope I can get back on track and figure out how I want it to go. Please be patient with me while I beat myself and cry over how I can't get this story to go right. I knew I should have stopped with chapter 1. Also, if you've read my story on fiction press, Dream, please be patient with that too, and if you haven't read it I recomend it. I think that its alot better than this one. anyways. I'm an awful stupid writer that needs to lighten up. Sorry I just miss Shane thats all. Later! Jam
