Summary: To anyone, Lizzie's life was over, all her hopes crushed. The sense of doom took over that night both her parents. And faithful Gordo, hoping for the best, stayed right besides the one he loved. That is, until someone else entered the scene.
In a distant land, a solitary figure peered through a black mirror. His eyes, glowed with hate, and he said: "Ha, ha, ha, ha! At last, my revenge is near completion. Look at her pathetic boyfriend, hoping for the best. Fool! She will pay for what she did, even if I have to do it myself. And I will do it myself. No one will ever know who I am. At least not in this body."
Gordo woke up around 8am. Thinking about what do for his love, Gordo looked beyond the pale horizon, as some rain clouds rolled by. Jo and Sam arrived early, and Gordo's parents came to took him home. He had to rest properly, and after convincing him, Gordo accepted. Before leaving, he kissed Lizzie's forehead, and left.
Mr. Gordon: "Son, how are you feeling? I know these past couple of days have not been easy for you. Come, tell me." Mrs. Gordon hugged Gordo, and nodded, as encouraging him to open his heart to his father. Gordo looked down, and Lizzie's face appeared in his mind.
"Well", Gordo said, "I feel terrible. How can I sleep or rest while the woman I love lies between life and death? How can I have peace of mind when her parents are without hope? I need Lizzie, I love Lizzie, dad." Gordo's eyes turned teary. "I have never loved anyone as deeply as my love for Lizzie. She is my inspiration, my comfort, my soulmate." Mrs. Gordon gave a tender look to Mr. Gordon, and said to Gordo, "We know. And we are behind you both a 100. Don't you ever forget that Gordo. Ok?".
The phone rang at Gordo's house. It was Mrs. Gordon parents, from Israel. "Dear dauther," they said to Mrs. Gordon. "Your sister had an accident. We need the whole family here. When can you come?" Mrs.Gordon said: "Abba, I will be there in two days time. We'll be there. Take care. Shalom."
Gordo, worried for his mother's expression said, "Mom, what happened. Is it Lizzie?" Mrs. Gordon answered, "No dear. It was your granfather. My sister Miriam had an accident and died. We have to travel to Israel."
Mr. Gordon stood up from his chair, kissed and comforted Mrs. Gordon as he said, "Gordo, please, look for our passports and three plane tickets to Israel for tomorrow. We need to be there as soon as possible."
Gordo, a little dazed for all the things happening, did what he was told. After arranging everything for the travel,
Mr. Gordo took him to the hospital.
"Lizzie, I have to leave for Israel tomorrow. I will be back. I promise. I love you.", whispered Gordo in Lizzie's eyes. Jo and Sam thanked Gordo's parents for everything they had done and wished good luck with their travel.
Miranda came later that day. "Hi, Mrs. and Mrs. McGuire. How is Lizzie?", she asked. "I saw Gordo leaving. What happened?". Jo said, "His aunt in Israel died yesterday, and his family is getting together. Poor Gordo, first Lizzie andnow this."
"Now is my chance. Now that he is gone. YOU are finished, Lizzie McGuire!", screamed the cloaked being at the blackmirror. The figure know stepped into the mirror, exiting behind some rose bushes.
While on his way to the airport, Gordo realized that he had his cellphone in the waiting room. After returning to the hospital and taking his phone, Dr. Dean waved him goodbye. "Dr. Dean, thank you for all the things you have done for Lizzie. Thank you for giving her the best attention.", said Gordo.
Gordo went straight for his parent's car, and asked for permission to stay with Lizzie. Mrs. Gordon said it was ok, he understood his son'sfeelings for Lizzie. When Miranda saw Gordo coming back, she said to him, "Gordo, I tought you were going with your parents to Israel. I am sorry for what happened to your aunt." Gordo looked at Lizzie, and then told Miranda, "Yes, well, you know I have business to attend here with Lizzie. I cannot just leave for another country when the girl I love is ill. I must stay by her side and take care of her. That is what I am here to do."
Miranda looked at Lizzie, then looked at Gordo. "I understand. Thank you.", said Miranda.
The day was near completion, as the moon climbed high. Gordo passed the night at Lizzie's side holding her hand.
