A/N: Ok, so here is the last chapter. I know it's not a real long story but I hope ya'll are enjoying it.
Lizzie was very quiet that morning. The rest of the family were eating breakfast, but Lizzie was just pushing her food all around her plate. Lizzie's mother knew that her daughter was upset about something, something was wrong.
" What's wrong, sweetie? " Mrs. McGuire asked. " Don't you feel well? "
" I... um... I feel fine, Mom. I'm just not real hungry this morning, " Lizzie replied.
" Are you sure nothing is wrong, sweetie? " Mrs. McGuire asked.
" Yeah, Mom... nothing's wrong, " Lizzie lied.
Today, Lizzie felt like everything was wrong. Lizzie still didn't know quite what to make her little experience that had taken place the night before. It just didn't make sense to Lizzie, she felt perfectly fine, she was healthy, so why would today be her last?
When Lizzie got to school, later that morning, she saw Miranda waiting for Lizzie at her locker.
" Hey, Lizzie! " Miranda greeted, as Lizzie walked torwards her.
" Hey, Miranda, " Lizzie said.
" What's up girl, you're late? " Miranda asked. " Class if just about to start! "
" I guess I was just slow getting ready this morning, " Lizzie said, quietly.
" Is something wrong, Liz? " Miranda asked, as the two walked to class.
" No, " Lizzie said.
" Lizzie, you're a bad lier! " Miranda scolded. " Now something is to wrong, what is it? "
" Really, it's nothing Miranda... i'm just tired, I guess, " Lizzie replied.
Miranda just gave Lizzie a weird look. She didn't believe for one minute that nothing was wrong, but they were now walking into the class room, so she didn't have time to push Lizzie into telling her, right now.
The whole classroom was full, it was very clear that the class had already started. Gordo saw Lizzie and Miranda walk in, and he gave them a " you're in trouble " look.
" Well, how nice of you to join us, " the teacher said. " You two girls better have a very good reason for being late, "
Lizzie and Miranda both looked at each other, not knowing what to say. But, as always, Miranda was the first to think of something.
" Lizzie and I dropped our books in the hallway, we uh... we didn't notice when we dropped them, and had to go find them, " Miranda said. " Sorry we're late, "
" Is that true, McGuire? " the teacher asked.
" Yes, "
" Well, alright then, but you better not lose your books again, " the teacher said.
" Oh, we won't, " Miranda asured him.
" That was a close one, " Gordo whispered, as the girls walked passed him, and sat down.
At lunch, Lizzie, Gordo, and Miranda sat together as usual. Miranda and Gordo were talking, and laughing but Lizzie stayed quiet. She was deep in thought.
" Lizzie, is something wrong? " Gordo asked.
Lizzie didn't hear him, she was too deep in her thoughts. She just kept pushing her food around her plate. Lizzie didn't really understand what had happened the night before, or why, but she did believe it was real, not a dream. Lizzie knew that she had to tell Gordo how she felt, but she really didn't know how. Lizzie was also a bit worried, would he feel the same about her, as she did about him?
" Lizzie? " Gordo tried again, this time waving his hand in front of her face. " Lizzie... hey, earth to Lizzie, "
" What? " Lizzie asked.
" What's wrong? "
" Nothing, " Lizzie replied, simply.
" Something's wrong, Lizzie, " Gordo said.
" No, it's nothing. I'm just... thinking, " Lizzie said.
" You sure? "
" Yeah, i'm sure, " Lizzie replied.
Miranda just gave Lizzie another look, she too could tell that something was wrong.
" Well, we better get to class, " Gordo said, getting up from his seat.
" Yeah, don't want to be late again, " Miranda said.
" Lizzie, " Gordo called.
No answer.
" Lizzie? "
" Huh? " Lizzie replied, finally.
" You want to come over to my place after school? "
" Yes! " Lizzie answered quickly.
" Alright, i'll see you after school then, "
" See ya, " Lizzie said.
After school, Lizzie went over to Gordo's house. When she got there, Gordo was sitting out on his front porch, waiting for her to arrive.
" Hey Lizzie! " Gordo greeted, as Lizzie sat down beside him.
" Hey, " Lizzie said.
There is something wrong. Gordo thought to himself.
They both sat there for several moments in silence. Lizzie was desperately trying to get the courage to tell Gordo how she felt, but as hard as she tried, the words just wouldn't come.
" Lizzie, what wrong? " Gordo asked her, softly.
That was Gordo, always trying to help a friend. Gordo had always been a great friend to Lizzie, he was always there for her when she needed someone to tell her troubles to. He would also listen, and would never judge her.
" It's nothing... I just... I have to talk to you about something, " Lizzie said.
" Well, i'm a very good listener, " Gordo said, with a sweet smile.
This made Lizzie smile too, for the first time today. Oh, how Lizzie loved Gordo's sweet smile.
" Yeah, I know you are, "
" So, what's wrong? " Gordo asked.
" Well, nothing is really wrong. I just have something very important that I want to tell you, " Lizzie said.
" What is it? "
" Gordo, you and I... we've been friends for a long time, ever since I can remember. You're a very special person to me, Gordo, " Lizzie said.
" You're very special to me too, Lizzie, " Gordo said, still not sure where this was going.
" And I... I just want you to know that... I love you Gordo! " Lizzie spat out, quickly.
Gordo's mouth dropped open. Did... did she really say what I think she said? Gordo asked himself.
" I'll... i'll understand if you don't feel the same way, Gordo. I just wanted you to know, " Lizzie said.
Lizzie started to get up to walk away, but before she could, she felt a warm hand wrap itself around her's.
" Wait Lizzie! " Gordo said. " I do feel the same way, "
" Really? " Lizzie asked, her eyes now filling up with tears of joy.
" I love you, Lizzie, " Gordo said softly.
They both sat there for a moment, looking into each other's eyes. Then, Gordo moved in closer, and gently kissed Lizzie. After a moment, Gordo realised what he was doing, and quickly broke the kiss.
" Lizzie, i'm sorry, " Gordo said, quickly.
Lizzie smiled. " I'm not, "
" Really? " Gordo asked.
" Really, " Lizzie said, leaning in and kissing Gordo again.
When the kiss broke, Gordo pulled Lizzie into a bug hug. Then, Lizzie remembered the time. It was getting late, she had to get home.
" Gordo... I... I have to go home... it's getting late, " Lizzie said.
" Alright, i'll see you tomorrow, Lizzie, " Gordo said.
" Yeah. Yeah, i'll see you tomorrow, " Lizzie said.
The two friends waved goodbye, and Lizzie walked home. For the rest of the night, all she could think about was Gordo. She just couldn't believe that he actually felt the same way.
It had been a very bitter - sweet day. Lizzie's dream that Gordo loved her, had actually came true. But, at the same time Lizzie was sad, sad because this was her last day, and she would never have the chance to spend her whole life with Gordo, as she had dreamed of.
When Lizzie went to bed that night, she wrote a note to each member of her family, one to Miranda, and of course one to Gordo. In each letter, Lizzie told everyone how muched she loved them, and would miss them. She told them not to be sad, because they would see her again, someday.
With that, Lizzie pulled the covers up around her, thanked God for sending her the message, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
The morning sun was shining brightly through Lizzie McQuires window. It was a beautiful morning. The birds were singing, the leaves were blowing slightly on the trees.
Lizzie's alarm clock began to ring. It continued to do so for a couple moments, before finally waking Lizzie. She reached over and shut it off. Lizzie looked up at the clock, it was morning, and much to her surprise, she was alive!
Lizzie had not died, yesterday had not been her last. Lizzie was filled with joy. It had been a dream, she hadn't been visited by an angel, it was all a dream.
Then, something else hit Lizzie. If being visited by the angel was a dream, then maybe what she had told Gordo was all a dream too.
Lizzie quickly jumped out of bed, and checked the date on her alarm clock. Lizzie was happy to see that it was Friday, the day after Thursday... the Thursday that she had told Gordo her true feelings for him.
That part wasn't a dream, Lizzie had told Gordo she loved him, and he loved her too! After taking some time to think about it, Lizzie realised that she was very silly for actually thinking the day before would be her last.
But, in another way, she was very glad she had, because now Gordo knew that she loved him. Even better, he loved her too! Maybe it was a dream sent from Heaven!
The End.
