The Chronicles of my Life: a DIZA fanfic (completed)

57. Accidents happen

December 7, 2017

Liza's POV

I was on the phone with Gabbie just telling her about all of the things that have happened since I got here

Liza: "...So then Kassie and I grabbed Rory's phone and forced her to text Josh."

Gabbie: "Did she?"

Liza: "Yeah. And guess what?"

Gabbie: "What? Tell me, tell me, tell me! I hate not knowing stuff!"

Liza: "Geeze calm down."

Gabbie: "Liza we have been over this, I have no calm."

Liza: "I know I know. Anyways, Josh asked Rory out."

Gabbie: "On a date?"

Liza: "Yeah."

Gabbie: "What the hell? How did that happen?"

Liza: "I don't even know."

Gabbie: "Lol Rory sounds amazing."

Liza: "Wait, did you just say 'lol'?"

Gabbie: "Yeah."

Liza: "My goodness what happened to normal words?"

Gabbie: "I don't know."

Liza: "Anyways, what's up with you?"

Gabbie: "Oh you know, not much expect Zane asked me to be his girlfriend."

Liza: "What!"

Gabbie: "I KNOW!"

She squeals into the phone.

Liza: "How the hell did that happen?"

Gabbie: "Uh well I might have not told you that we have been dating for about a month."

Liza: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Gabbie: "I didn't want you to get sad about David."

Liza: "It's fine. I'm over him. He is over me. It's all good."

Gabbie: "I'm not sure about that."

Liza: "Just because I'm not dating someone doesn't mean I'm not over David!"

Gabbie: "No I mean David isn't over you."

Liza: "What? That can't be true."

Gabbie: "Well, he keeps asking me how to 'get someone back' and since you were his first and only girlfriend, I'm guessing he means you."

Liza: "I doubt it."

I hear a knock on the door.

Liza: "I got to go. Text me later."

Gabbie: "I probably won't be able to. I have to drive to Thousand Oaks."

Liza: "Why?"

Gabbie: "My mom wants me to meet with one of my apparent cousins. I don't know."

Liza: "Ok well, text me when you get there."

Gabbie: "Ok."

She hangs up and I put my phone in my pocket. I get up to open the door to find a boy standing there.

He had greyish blue eyes, brown hair, and a brown jacket. 

Liza: "Can I help you with something?"

Boy: "Wait, hold on. Is this your dorm room?"

I nod.

Boy: "Oh my god I'm so sorry. I must be lost."

Liza: "Let me see your room number."

He shows me. 

Liza: "Ah ok. This is dorm 4. You are supposed to be in dorm 6. They look very similar and are like right next to each other. Just go out the main door and take a left."

Boy: "Thanks. I'm Connor. Franta"

Liza: "I'm Liza Koshy. What classes are you taking here?"

Connor: "Arts. What about you?"

Liza: "Performing arts."

Connor: "Cool. Anyways, sorry about this whole being lost thing. I'm very directionally challenged."

We both laugh.

Liza: "It's ok. If you need help with finding your class, well, you know where my dorm is."

He laughs again.

Connor: "Yeah. Thanks. See you around."

I go back into my room and start working on some of the work I had to do. Here I was thinking that after high school you didn't get homework. Guess I was wrong!

*A bit later*

I hear the door unlock and see Kassie come in.

Liza: "Where were you?"

Kassie: "It's Christmas!"

Liza: "Wass I was in a comma for like two weeks? Because last time I checked, it was December 7."

Kassie: "Yeah it's December 7 but that's basically Christmas!"

I slow blink at her.

Liza: "No. No it's really not."

Kassie groans.

Kassie: "Yes. It. Is. Anyways, I got a bunch of Christmas decorations! Including a tree, lights, fake snow,"

She goes on with the list for about 5 more minutes. I sigh.

Liza: "Fine. You can decorate for Christmas now."

Kassie squeals.

Kassie: "Yay!"

She gets out the things from the bags and starts decorating. I hear my phone buzz. I look over to see the caller ID. 

David.

A thousand thoughts run through my head. But one is very prominent.

Should I answer it? 

I see Kassie stop decorating and look at me.

Kassie: "Aren't you going to answer it?"

I look at her, then look back at the phone.

I do something that I will forever be glad I did.

I answered it.

Liza: "Hello?"

David: "Liza?"

Liza: "Umm, yeah. What's up?"

David: "I know that calling you was awkward, but something happened."

Liza: "David, if this is you trying to get me back..."

He cuts me off.

David: "No. Gabbie got in a car accident."

I'm silent. 

Liza: "W-w-what?"

David: "Yeah. She is in the hospital, she went unconsious after the accident."

Liza: "Pick me up at LAX. I'm getting on the next flight."

I hang up. Kassie looks at me worried.

Kassie: "What's wrong?"

Liza: "My best friend, Gabbie, just got in a car accident. I'm flying back to LA to see her."

Kassie: "Then stop wasting time! You got a flight to catch! I will book your ticket. You pack."

Liza: "Thanks."

And next thing I knew, I was on a flight back to LA.
