Part VII - The Fight
Lizzie should never have listened.
It was June 8th. The night of Lizzie’s graduation. It was an important day for her and afterward the school had a graduation party that lasted all night. She had planned on going to it all year, and she wasn’t about to miss it because Shane wanted her to. Lizzie didn’t expect Shane to go to her graduation. It might have kinda been awkward and boring for him especially since he wouldn’t get to see her afterward since her family would be there. Her family did not have a clue about him. She wanted to tell them so bad, but she knew it was not the right time and they would not approve of him considering his age. So Shane had tickets to a big party at a club where some well-known DJ was going to be and decided to go to that.
The graduation commenced and Lizzie got her diploma. She didn’t really feel much different nor did she feel more grown up. She was happy high school was over but sad to leave some friends.
After graduation Lizzie stepped into project graduation with hopeful feelings of fun things and fun times. Little did she know it would all be ruined.
Lizzie and Courtney were running around in their bikinis, swimming in the dark pool and skinning their knees playing volleyball when Lorena showed up with her boyfriend that worked at Shane‘s shop. Lorena had that kid brain washed from the start. He was obsessed with her and followed her like a puppy dog. Lizzie began small talk with Lorena when she brought up Shane. From the look in Lorena’s eyes, Lizzie knew nothing good could come out of their conversing about Shane.
“Shane’s no good Lizzie, I hope you’re not planning on continuing things through college.” Lorena said.
“Well I’m going to leave him here while I’m in college for a year and we’ll see what happens.” Lizzie replied.
“No, no jus don’t love him or anything Lizzie.” Lorena stated.
Lizzie brushed these comments off her shoulder and continued playing with the girls. Later she text Shane just to tell him what Lorena had said to her. Moments later Lorena calls out Lizzie’s name. Lizzie walked over with her plate of food and asked “What’s up?” Lorena knocked the plate out of her hands. She got up in her face and asked
“Why the hell would you text Shane telling him what I said?!”
“I just wanted to know why you would be saying that stuff about him.” Lizzie said right back in her face as she crossed her arms.
“Well fuck off dude, he’s a fucking jerk, he’s cheating on you.”
Lizzie’s heart stopped completely. She choked up.
“yea dude all he wants to do is go out and have fun. He doesn’t care like you think he does.” Alex (Lorena’s boyfriend) commented.
“I have to go,” Lizzie said rushing towards the bathroom. She texted Shane, “It’s over.” He continuously called her for an hour. She would not respond. After many calls she did respond. He told her he was leaving for Juarez and that he would not say good bye to her.
“I’m leaving tomorrow for a very very long time… you won’t even say good-bye to me after everything we’ve been through?”
“No, you don’t believe me. I would never want anyone besides you. When would I have had time to be with anyone besides you? We’re together every minute of the day and we spend most nights together. You know I have been completely honest with you about my wife and everything. I would never lie to you Lizzie.”
Lizzie came to the realization that he was right. She blew things way out of proportion. She knew Lorena lied. Lorena never liked to see other people more successful or having a better life than she was. Of course she would not want Lizzie with Shane. Lizzie felt so dumb for listening to her shit.
“Please forgive me!” Lizzie broke down in sobs, “You’re right, I’m so sorry I should have never listened to them!”
“No I’m leaving. You broke my heart. I can’t breath. You told me it was over and now it’s over I’m leaving.”
“No Shane please please stay I need to say good bye to you. You cant leave me forever like this.” Lizzie begged to him for thirty minutes on the floor of the bathroom in project graduation. Other girls would burst into the bathroom, confetti flying as they passed by and snickered at Lizzie. She held on to Laura for comfort. Shane would not back down. He was really going to leave. He was not going to say good bye to her.
Laura took the phone from Lizzie’s hand and dashed outside the bathroom. Lizzie sobbed against the sink, her body was shaking and her gasps for air were short.
Laura came back into the bathroom.
“I gave Shane a piece of my mind and he listened. I convinced him to meet you soon just to say good bye and that’s it then he’s leaving.” Laura said.
“Oh my god, oh my god thank you so much,” Lizzie grabbed Laura and hugged her so tight, “You are my most best friend ever, I can never thank you enough! You’ve saved me.”
Lizzie gathered her friends in the car and sped toward the gas station Shane agreed to meet at. Her friends glared Shane down as they passed his car and dropped Lizzie off.
Lizzie sat in the car. Tears still streaming down her face. He drove up to a dead end spot in a neighborhood where they could talk. They talked about everything for two hours. He finally forgave Lizzie for listening to them and they agreed to trust each other with everything from then on. They both knew there was always going to be rumors about each of them just because of who they were and that they’d just have to rely on each other. Lizzie felt a wave of relief crash over her after he forgave her. She reached in her bag and pulled out something for Shane.
“What is this?” Shane asked.
“Its my lingerie, the one I bought for you that one amazing night.” Lizzie replied.
Shane held it up, “Wow… this is the sweetest thing Elizabeth.” Shane’s eyes started to water up.
“I can’t believe I almost left forever. Everything would have ended.”
Lizzie immediately began making out with him, holding on to him for dear life.
“I love you so much,” Shane said, “I never want to live without you. Please marry me.”
Lizzie sat there and thought for a minute.
“Yes, I will marry you when I am through with college.” And she kissed him more.
It was 5 A.M. as they looked at the clock.
“I’m leaving tomorrow morning.” Lizzie stated.
“I know…” Shane said.
They drove to a hotel. They bought a hotel room for the day. Lizzie had until 10 A.M. to get home and finish packing. They got into their room and laid there with each other. Staring into one another’s eyes, falling more and more in love. They couldn’t believe that something so silly almost separated them from having this. They were tired, they hadn’t slept all night, but they were not too tired for make up sex.
Shane rolled over on top of Lizzie. His hands slid down her every curve. He kissed her breasts making them hard. “Please just touch me between my legs,” Lizzie’s mind begged. Then as if reading her mind, his hand slipped down and began to turn her libido into overload. She began moaning, then he eased himself inside her. She sighed with delight. They went at it for a few minutes when suddenly Shane took himself out of her.
“Why’d you stop?” She asked as Shane began kissing her lower stomach.
“You’ll see.” he said. His tongue pressed inside her. She let out a cry. His tongue began stroking her inner muscles. Normally Lizzie did not get that turned on by someone going down on her, but this was unlike anything she had ever felt. He was licking her all over and making moaning sounds which sent sound vibrations into her, making her go crazy. He held her hips as her back arched and her fingers sunk into the bed. She was pulling the sheets off the sides of the bed as he stroked her g-spot. She could not stay quiet, she began screaming his name. As she orgasmed she could barely grasp air into her lungs. She had an out of body experience like no other. When she was done, she laid naked on the bed in amazement. She knew she had to marry this man, there was no chance of finding better sex ever. This was the man she wanted to be with forever.
After she had rested Shane entered her again. He went until he came and he lied next to her. He spooned her and they instantly fell asleep.
The alarm clock rang in Lizzie’s ear. It was 10 A.M. Time to go finish packing.
“We have this room all day and night… Promise me you’ll come back tonight?” Shane asked.
“I promise baby, I love you.” She said as she kissed him.
“Okay, I love you too, bye baby.” He said as she got up to go to her car.
Shane sat in the hotel for a while and came up with an idea. He had an idea for a surprise. The best surprise Lizzie would ever receive..
