My Life - according to Elizabeth Brooke McGuire

DEFAULT CHAPTER

23-year-old Elizabeth Brooke McGuire woke up with a start. At first she didn't know where she was because minutes before she had been in a completely different place!

"Oh wait! Calm down McGuire – it was just a dream, just a dream get it out of your head" She said to herself. It was actually more of a nightmare. She dreamt – for the 12th time this month – of her break-up with the only man she ever loved.

She glanced up at her alarm clock and cursed. She was almost late for work. She got out of her enormous and extremely comfy bed only because she had to get to work. Ahhhh! She thought. Why do I have to go to work today???

She quickly got dressed and wandered down the hall to the kitchen she grabbed the box of cereal, a bowl, a spoon, and the milk and sat down.

A few minutes later her best friend and her roommate Miranda trudged down the hall, and into the kitchen. She grabbed Lizzie's bowl of cereal and began eating it. By the time Lizzie had turned around after getting her milk, it was gone.

Lizzie was annoyed because this happened almost every morning.

She looked at Miranda and said: "I dreamed about him again." Miranda sighed heavily. "Again? You can't keep having these dreams about him. You know you have to get over him soon enough. I mean you should move on." "I know." Lizzie replied. "But it's so hard. Everyone always thought we were the best couple because we had been together ever since we were babies! I mean we had kids together and he doesn't even know! I just never thought that he would leave me." Miranda looked her in the eyes. "No one did hon."

Miranda quickly looked at the clock and said: "Hey! Don't you have to be at work now?" "Shit!" Lizzie yelled. "I have to go! Listen. Can you bring Eleanor and Eliana home from pre-school today? I have to stay at work late." Eleanor May Gordon and Eliana Irene Gordon were born in LA 3 ½ years ago to Lizzie and an unknowing David Gordon.

"Yeah sure. Is Kate taking them to school?" "Yeah" Lizzie and Miranda had become friends with Kate after middle school and now they were inseperable. Kate had one daughter around the same time Eleanor and Eliana were born – 3 ½ years ago. Kate had Lucy Elizabeth Sanders with Ethan Craft but they weren't married yet. "Just don't be late for tonight. I'm leaving at 5."

"Ooooo! Do you have a date with Matt again?!" Lizzie asked nosily.

"Yes! And why do you care so much? He is my boyfriend!" Miranda and Matt had been dating for 3 years and they were so much in love and so cute together!!

"I know, I know! Got to go bye! Love ya!" Lizzie said as she was rushing out the door with her keys and purse.

"I'll call you at work! Bye!"
