Ok, well I've been working on this for a while. It's only 23 pages long, but it is taking forever. But anyway, I wrote this little story, and if you wanna know the plot, here it is:
15-year-old Liz is living with her alcoholic, gambling, worthless father in Alabama when all of a sudden the police decide that he needs to go to rehab. She has no other choice but to move in with her mom, who lives all the way in Ohio. Her moms house is wacky and colorful, and absolutley perfect. When she gets there she meets her prince charming, Mark. He is absolutley perfect in every way. But then things start falling apart again. The economy is horrible, and Liz's mom gets her hours cut back. All the while Liz is having these weird dreams where she is in the dark with something familiar, but she can't put her finger on it. The local car making plant called G.M. is closing, and Mark's dad works there. But there are thousands of other people in there that are also looking for jobs in that area, but there just aren't enough. Mark has to move away at the hardest time in Liz's life.
Liz finally finds out what has been in her concious when her father calls her out of the blue. He has just gotten out of rehab and is going into a custody battle with her mom. Liz really wants to stay with her mom, with her freinds, where she is accepted, but she doesn't think she wants to stay because the place will forever remind her of Mark. Then Mark moves off to Germany, not to the south where he said he would originally would move. Liz is devastated and just gives up on caring. She lives the rest of the days in blankness. Her father ends up winning custody of her because he has a steady job with a lot more pay then her mom who only works a few hours, forcing Liz to get a job. When Liz moves back with her father, she lives the rest of the two years in misery, her heart ripped out and taken thousands of miles away with Mark. When she turns 18, she is on a college trip in Iowa when she starts to get a really weird feeling, like deja vu, but she thinks she's crazy. It's like an invisible rope is pulling her to this park in Iowa, straying her away from her group in a very unfamiliar place. She walks and walks towrd the unknown until all of a sudden, BAM! There is Mark, perfect, in every way, sitting underneath a tree. To sum it up, Liz takes online courses of college in ohio, then Mark taked her to the high school where they fiirst met, it had been boarded up, the whole town was like a ghost town, and took her into aa hallway there and proposed to her. They have a dream wedding in Greece, with all of her friends and family, including her father, and move to Idaho, building a house in the park where they were reunited. They start a family together, and live the rest of their lives happily forever after.
I am NOWHERE near being done, just so you know. This thing is going to be a solid 200 pages when I'm done... :]] Please don't steal my idea for anything, either... <3>http://shannoness.webs.com/
