Chapter 5-Confrontation

After Erica told her about the news David hadn't told her she was even more mad so she decided to go to his house after she did her homework. She knocked on the door and his mom opened it.

Lizzie: "Hi Mrs. Gordon, is David here?"

Mrs. Gordon: "Yeah he's out back. He looks mad, he won't ell me what's wrong with him." she said as she let Lizzie in.

Lizzie: "I think I know, don't worry I'll talk to him." she said as she quickly ran to the back.

When she got to the Gordon's back yard, she saw David sitting on a bench looking up at the sky.

Lizzie: "Penny for your thoughts?" she asked sitting down next to him.

David: "Lizzie! What are you doing here?" he asked shocked that Lizzie actually had time to come over.

Lizzie: "I wanted to talk to you about today."

David: "Yeah…about that. I'm sorry for butting in on your life. It's just I miss you." he said truthfully.

Lizzie: "I know I miss you too and I totally understand. I should have made time for you guys too. I promise we're all going to hang out more." she said smiling at him.

David: "Good." he said simply smiling at her.

Lizzie: "I heard about that school thing in L.A. I thought you would have told me first." she said hurt.

David: "I was going to tell you. Remember when I called you the other night and I told you I have news but you said you would call back since you were talking to Charlie. But you never did so I told them since I thought you didn't care anymore."

Lizzie: "Oh yeah, I forgot! I do care David and you know that. I didn't think having a boyfriend would change my friendships with you guys but it did. We're drifting David." she said sadly.

David: "Don't worry we'll fix things." he said touching her shoulder.

Lizzie: "Thanks. So tell me about this school thing."

David: "Before I came here I applied to this program for young directors. There's this boarding school/high school in L.A. They teach you about directing and at the same time you get your high school credits and graduate with a diploma. They don't have much space since the students live there. When I applied I didn't think I would get in but I did and now I don't know what to do." he said not at all excited.

Lizzie: "Well if you decided to go when would you have to leave?" she asked overwhelmed with all of this.

David: "I have to leave at the end of September so I could start on the first school day of October."

Lizzie: "Oh wow that's fast. That's in two weeks. What are you going to do?" she asked sadly.

David: "I don't know……I just don't know." he said looking up at the sky.

Lizzie: "When do you have to tell them what you decide?"

David: "It doesn't matter, if I go then I'm in and if I don't then I'm not."

Lizzie: "What do your parents think?"

David: "What any other parent would. They think I should go because it's a good opportunity."

Lizzie: "Oh…"

David: "I'm so confused, one part of me wants to stay but the other part of me doesn't."

Lizzie: "Well whatever you decide I'm behind you 100." she said trying to smile.

David: "Thanks Liz, that means a lot."

Lizzie went home sad that day. Charlie wanted to hang out with her but she said that she wasn't feeling good. She didn't know what she would do if he left.

A week and a half had passed and David still hadn't decided what he was going to do. There was a back to school dance that Friday and everyone had dates. Of course Lizzie was going with Charlie, David had asked Betty, Brian with Erica, and Jamie with Shane. Lizzie was now hanging out with the group more then she was hanging out with Charlie. For some reason he was starting to spend more time with his friends than with her so she did the same. They occasionally hung out after school but nothing other than that. The dance was coming up and David had some decisions to make because time was running out, he had to decide by the end of the dance.
