A/N: Hey sorry for the long wait. Long wait? No one was waiting.
-Hours later-
Lizzie finally arrived to her destination, she was just crossing the boarder and there was a sign that welcomed her and everyone else who entered that state. The sign read 'Welcome to Oregon'. She was relieved to have finally gotten closer to where he is, the one that she knew she could trust, and the one that she could talk to and know that he would listen.
Lizzie finally reached Portland, it wasn't her first time she's visited him before. They agreed to meet at his house, he's become pretty successful but then again who doubted that he wouldn't.
She pulled up into his driveway, and he came walking out the door to meet her. He opened her door for her and they walked up the walkway to his house door, which was really beautiful, it was white with stain glass windows. They went and sat in his living room, so they could talk.
"So why'd you leave him?" He asked.
"There wasn't really an us anymore." She responded.
"Uh, what happened?"
"Don't really want to talk about it right now."
"I'm sorry."
"No, it's okay. So how's your business going?"
"It's going great… we're about to open up another building in Hillridge actually."
"Well it sounds like you are doing great."
"It opens in a few months."
They continued to talk. They talked until it was nearly ten at night. He showed her the guest room, and he went off to bed.
Lizzie's cell began to ring. She kind of knew who it was mainly because he's been calling her all day. She decided to pick it up.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Lizzie." Gordo greeted.
"What?"
"Can we talk?"
"I don't know."
"Lizzie please."
"Fine."
"I'm sorry about this morning, you know leaving and going to talk to Miranda because she called and asked me too…"
"I know the story Gordo."
"Her boyfriend broke up with her... because she's pregnant."
"I'm sorry that Miranda's boyfriend left her because she's pregnant."
"Lizzie, please come home."
"No, not right now. I need this time away from Hillridge, away from Miranda and…"
"And me?"
"Yeah."
"Why me?"
"Gordo it's over."
"No."
"Yes. It has to be."
"Why does it have to be over?"
"Because I can't live that way anymore. Not knowing that she will always call and that you will always be there for her. And knowing that you won't be there for me like you are for her…"
"I love you Lizzie."
"But not in the same way anymore. I love you too Gordo, like always."
She hung up, and she began to cry.
I don't know what he does to make you cry
but I'll be there to make you smile
I don't have a fancy car
to get to you I'd walk a thousand miles
I don't care if he buys you nice things
Does his gifts come from the heart ? - I don't know...
But if you were my girl...
I'd make it so we'd never be apart
He heard her cry; he got up out of bed and walked towards her door. He knocked and she opened the door.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"It's over, I called it quits." She replied still in tears.
"Why?"
"Because I can't live with him knowing that he's always going to be there for Miranda and…that he's given up…he says he wants to be in this relationship, but he doesn't really want to be…"
"Lizzie I'm sorry about your guys' relationship."
"Don't be. It's not like you had anything to do with it."
"Lizzie, I'm not Gordo. My business is just now taking off; I can't offer you what he can."
"I'm not looking for a relationship right now."
"Oh."
They continued to talk before going to bed. When He closed the door he said quietly "My love is all I have to give." Little did he know that Lizzie heard him.
Chorus
But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you... but
Love is all I have to give
After a week of staying with him, she decided to look for her own place; she felt that it was right and fair. She felt that she was somehow in his way; he already gave her a job. In just a few short weeks they've become closer then ever.
When you talk, does it seem like he's not
even listening to a word you say ?
That's ok babe, just tell me your problems
I'll try my best to kiss them all away...
Does he leave when you need him the most?
Does his friends get all your time ?
Baby please, I'm on my knees
praying for the day that you'll be mine !
Ethan and Lizzie just got home from work. Lizzie already found a place and she needed to tell him.
"Ethan." Lizzie stated.
"Yeah." He replied.
"I found a place." She spit out.
"You found a place?" he questioned.
"I can't take up space in your house."
"You can't?"
"No, it's not fair to you."
"Not fair what are you talking about? For the past few years since I started this business I've been lonely. Living on my own, I almost went out and got a cat, I would've ended up like Pete on Dharma & Greg until you came along. The circumstances weren't the best but…I don't want you to go."
Silence filled the room.
"Okay, I won't go, if you can give me a good reason to stay."
Chorus
To you... Hey girl, I don't want you to cry no more - inside
All the money in the world could never add up to the love
I have inside...
I love you
"Okay, I won't go, if you can give me a good reason to stay."
"I Love you Lizzie..."
"Ethan…"
Before
she could say anything further he interrupted.
"I may not make
as much money as Gordo right now, but no amount of money could add up
to the amount of love I feel for you. I can't give you everything
that he can, maybe someday soon when my business really picks up but
for now all I can give you is my love."
"Ethan I don't care about money. Being able to get to know you like I have in the past weeks and learning things was remarkable. I wouldn't change it at all. I love you too Ethan."
"And Gordo?"
"It's over.
And I will give it to you
All I can give, all I can give
Everything I have is for you
But love is all I have to give
Chorus(x3)
and out
But my love is all I have to give
without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you... but
Love is all I have to give to you
