Lizzie didn't waste time; within ten minutes she had pulled Gordo into the dining room while Chris patiently watched TV.
"Gordo, why did you bring her?" Lizzie asked, then stopped her self "No I don't care why you brought her. But why didn't you tell me Chris was a girl!"
David didn't know what to say. Because what could he say "I'm sorry Lizzie when I called and asked I was baked, and it kinda slipped my mind after because my dad smacked me around for stealing and smoking his weed. I love you!" So he made shit up.
"Well your mom introduces herself as Jo, and anyone who knows your mom knows her name is Josephine but she prefers Jo. I just know Chris really well."
"Gordo, you've only been there for six months"
"People in desperate situations bond in instants" David blinked. He had not just said that.
"Gordo! You just moved to LA." She pointed out. "Its not like you're in the ghetto"
Actually it was, and David was just about to argue that point, when he realized what Lizzie was getting at.
"Lizzie, there is no way that Chris could ever replace you" He said hugging her. "Chris is like Miranda. A completely platonic friend." He smiled, smelling Lizzie's hair letting her rest her head on his shoulder. "I love you in a way I've never loved anyone else in my life"
Lizzie hugged him tightly "Oh Gordo" She cried out. "I was so scared when she got out!" She gripped him tighter "I thought you'd come to dump me and then go to your mom's!" She wrapped her fists into his shirt "I mean she's there and I'm here! And she's from LA!"
"Chris is my friend" He smiled kissing the side of her head. One of the reasons he loved Lizzie so much was how worked up she got over problems. Sure it could get annoying, and had been the cause of most of their fights. But it was horribly reassuring at the moment. What was also reassuring was that he had understood why Lizzie was getting so worked up. Recently when they had a fight over the phone and he stormed off to the fire escape where Chris had been able to tell him what the issue was in a few seconds.
He used to be able to calm her down in seconds, almost as if he could read her mind. What had really started to scare him was when he realized that he and Chris were doing the same thing.
Lizzie kissed him sweetly. "Kate's gunna be really mad," She laughed.
"When's Ethan's Kegger?" He asked smiling.
"I can't believe you want to go" Lizzie smiled.
"Well I figure its one last chance to show them up."
"At what Gordo! All they do is drink and get high, you used to lecture me about going to them!"
"And Dance" He smiled. "Anyway, if Kate is single so is Ethan right?"
"Yeah"
"Maybe Chris wouldn't mind playing with his gorgeous head of hair" He joked.
"Gordo!" She laughed, turning slowly back into happy Lizzie who was okay with Gordo having female friends who she didn't know.
Chris was relaxing and watching the Disney channel, a habit that Gordo knew meant she was worried. As she saw the two she sat up.
"I really didn't think it would be an issue, and I can just lay low all weekend," She said hurriedly.
"Hey its no big deal" Lizzie smiled walking over and sitting next to her "I'm Lizzie"
"David talks about you all the time" She smiled, "the first couple of weeks all he talked about was what you'd think of this or that" It was true, after he had gotten to know Chris all he'd talked about was Lizzie.
"He's never really mentioned you" Lizzie said.
"I'm just a friend." Chris smiled. As a brief silence descended the group could hear Lizzie making up her opinion of the girl, judging by the smile on her face Chris was deemed all right.
"There's a party tonight at my friend Ethan's house, you think we should check it out?"
"Sure" Both David and Chris chimed in. All three laughed uncomfortably.
"I'm gunna order Pizza, my parents left me some money" Lizzie said "I'll get a cheese and a" She motioned to Chris to say what she wanted.
"Cheese here too"
"Listen, why don't you use the guest room" Lizzie said. "Its probably more comfortable then the bed."
"Oh I thought David was gunna use the guest room," Chris said teasing him. "Poor little virginal soul"
David glared at her, she was either mocking him or taking it too far.
Lizzie laughed as well. "I don't expect him to drive this far just to spend time with me!" She laughed going off to order the pizza.
"I'm beginning to think that bringing together two of the mock Gordo club members wasn't a good idea," he muttered sitting on the couch.
"Aww cheer up" She smiled pinching his cheek. "I think me and Lizzie are gunna get along just fine. So tell me about this Ethan guy."
"Well he has gorgeous hair, apparently, not that I care or anything. And isn't to smart."
"But he's amazing looking!" Lizzie said walking back into the room her cell phone in hand. "And he's such a good kisser!"
"You said you never kissed him!"
"It was spin the bottle Gordo!" She said, "It hardly counts!"
"It counts if you can remember he was a good kisser!"
"Anyway" Lizzie brushed him off, sitting on his lap. Gordo smiled perching his head on her shoulder. "Him an my friend Kate"
"You really are friends with Kate now!"
"With you and Miranda gone I had to make new friends!"
"Tell me about Ethan!"
"Okay well him and Kate, she's who I was going to set you up with if you were a guy. Well him and Kate have this insane on again off again relationship where they cheat on each other and right now their off and so I was gunna try and set you up with him." Lizzie said in one continuous breath.
"And he's dumb" Gordo added. "Not that IQ is a requirement for you Chris"
"Shut up!" She said.
The three continued happy banter, sharing each other's stories and explaining inside jokes. Over pizza Chris and Lizzie exchanged embarrassing Gordo stories. During which Gordo would interject with what really happened.
Author's notes: Wee! I finished chapter 4! I'm so happy with myself! And yes for who ever asked. There is a correlation between Riot boy and the Good Charlotte song Riot Girl. Nothing plot wise, but I was listening to that song when I had to title this and so I decided that Riot Boy was a good title. Woot! Oh and yes, I took Chris' name from it. But only becasue I suck at naming charachters.
Also! I have chapter Five all written! (Aren't I amazing? I'm ahead of the game) And I hope to update this perhaps every wednesday, depends on how the story goes. But I'm writing a ton of it in advance so I can update more regularily. Woot!
