Chapter 7-Nothing Left To Lose

Previously:

David: "Well I guess this is it. I'm leaving early tomorrow morning with the train. I won't see you guys tomorrow because then it'll be too hard to say goodbye."

Erica: "Does Lizzie know?"

David: "No, I didn't want to ruin her night, she looked like she was having a good time with Charlie. Just tell her good bye for me and that I wish her all the best and that I want her to be happy. Please tell her for me?"

Jamie: "We'll tell her." she said smiling at him.

David: "Thanks guys. We'll see each other again, I promise I'll visit. Bye guys" he said sad that he had to leave them behind.

Brian, Jamie, Erica: "Bye" they all said sadly.

He started to leave, he turned back one more time and saw that the girls were crying. He waved at them one last time and left for good.

BACK INSIDE THE DANCE:

Lizzie suddenly pulled away as Charlie kissed her. She didn't see Gordo leave though. She smacked his chest and backed away from him.

Lizzie: "Charlie! I was in the middle of telling you were over and you kiss me! I don't want to be with you anymore ok! Just leave me alone!" she said walking away from him angrily.

Charlie: "Lizzie, wait! Why are you breaking up with me?" he said grabbing her arm in the middle of the dance floor.

Lizzie: "Because Charlie, were not good together. I can't talk to you, you never listen. You don't know much about me but you think you do. I can't be with you anymore, go find someone else."

Charlie: "You know what Lizzie, I don't care! I was just using you okay. I could do so much better than you!" he said angrily.

Lizzie: "That's good to know Charlie, have a great life!" she said pulling her arm away angrily and going to the bathroom.

Lizzie cried in the bathroom because she was so hurt by Charlie's words. She later on called her mom to pick her up, she didn't see her friends all night. She hadn't even seen David. She turned her cell phone off and immediately went to sleep.

THE NEXT DAY:

Lizzie was planning on sleeping in that Saturday morning but she was awakened by her mom.

Jo: "Lizzie! Wake up, it's Jamie on the phone. She says it's an emergency." she said shaking Lizzie awake.

Lizzie: "Ok! I'm awake! Hello……..what!…..why didn't you guys tell me!………..you think he left already!……alright I'm going to get dressed real quick I'll meet you there." she said hanging up and quickly getting up to grab some sweats.

Jo: "Lizzie, is everything ok?" she asked scared.

Lizzie: "No, not really. David's about to leave for L.A. and I didn't get to say goodbye. Anyways I don't want him to leave!"

Jo: "You want me to drive you?"

Lizzie: "No it's okay, its not that far. Besides I'm meeting Jamie and Erica there. Got go mom, bye!" she said quickly running out of her room.

Lizzie ran with all her might to David's house. She saw Jamie and Erica, also getting there at the same time.

Lizzie: "Hey guys, you think I'm too late?" she asked going up to them.

Erica: "Lets hope your not. Go on!" she said gesturing for her to go and knock on the door.

Lizzie went up to the Gordon's door and knocked nervously. She was hoping he hadn't left, she had something to tell him, something important, something that would change everything about their relationship. Mr. Gordon opened the door and gave a sad look to Lizzie when he saw her.

Lizzie: "Mr. Gordon, tell me he's not gone?" she asked starting to fear the worst.

Mr. Gordon: "Lizzie, your 2 hours too late. His bus left at 6:30 this morning, I'm sorry." he said noticing her start to tear up.

Lizzie: "But he didn't say goodbye."

Mr. Gordon: "He wanted to come by this morning but he changed his mind. He said it would be too hard to leave if he saw your face."

Lizzie: "I didn't want him to go, I wanted to tell him something important and now he's gone." she said as tears ran down her cheek.

Mr. Gordon: "Lizzie, he left this for you. He told me to tell you that it will explain his decision to leave." he said handing her a paper.

Lizzie: "Thanks Mr. Gordon. If talk to him, tell him I miss him." she said as she turned back before she left.

Mr. Gordon: "I will Lizzie."

Lizzie: "Bye." she said walking away.

Lizzie walked up to Jamie and Erica. They immediately knew he was already gone by the look on his face.

Jamie: "He's gone isn't he?"

Lizzie: "Yeah, forever. He left this though." she said showing them the paper.

She went to the curb and started to read the letter.

Lizzie,

If your reading this than I'm probably already in L.A. I'm sorry didn't say goodbye to you, I just couldn't. It was hard enough saying goodbye to Jamie, Erica, and Brian. Last night at the dance I was going to tell you something important but then I saw you and Charlie kissing so I thought it wouldn't make a difference. I was going to tell you that I……I love you Lizzie, more than you'll ever know. I fell in love with you the first moment I saw you. You make me happy. I know you don't feel the same way but I just wanted you to know. I want you to be happy Liz. The reason left is because for once I wanted to do something for me. I have nothing left to lose, because I already lost you….

Love, David

Lizzie handed the letter to Jamie and Erica as tears fell down her cheek. He felt the same way she did but he was gone, and it was too late.

'Something's in the air tonight
The sky's alive with a burning light
You can mark my words something's about to break

And I found myself in a bitter fight
While I've held your hand through the darkest night
Don't know where your coming from but your coming soon

To a kid from Oregon by way of California
All of this is more than I've ever known or seen

Come on and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
Come on and we'll try, one last time
I'm off of the floor one more time to find you

And here we go there's nothing left to choose
And here we go there's nothing left to lose

So I packed my car and headed east
Where I felt your fire and a sweet release
There's a fire in these hills that's coming down

And I don't know much but I found you here
And I can not wait another year
Don't know where your coming from but you coming soon

To a kid from Oregon by way of California
All of this is more than I've ever known or seen

Come on and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
Come on and we'll try, one last time
I'm off of the floor one more time to find you

And here we go there's nothing left to choose
And here we go there's nothing left to lose

I can still hear the trains out my window
From Hobart street to here in Nashville
I can still smell the pomegranates grow
And I don't know how hard this wind will blow
Or where we'll go

Come on and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
Come on and we'll try, one last time
I'm off of the floor one more time to find you

And here we go there's nothing left to choose
And here we go there's nothing left to lose'
