Look within
Liz's POV
Have you ever seen those family pictures of the rich and the famous? You know what I mean, the ones where everyone's smiling and looking perfect? They seem perfect and maybe you think they are. You see them in fancy cars and clothes. They make millions of dollars, have huge homes, get whatever and do what ever they want. And normally get most of it for free. They can't have the same problems normal people have, right? Like how your life is boring, or your parents are always fighting, or maybe you're not popular.
Take it from this rich girl we're not perfect. Far from it. My parents have been married for 20 years. My Dad is Jeff Parker; you've probably heard of him right? No, well let me give you a quick back-story. My parents grew up in a small town in New Mexico. Where they were high-school sweet hearts. Once they graduated they moved to California so he could live his dream of being an actor. He got his big break 2 years later in a Tom Hanks film. My Mom all this time was working in an office so they could have a roof over their heads.
When he started getting bigger movie roles Mom just went with him at first; but them she got pregnant with me and had to stay home. After that she became a stay-at-home mom. Now you have to understand something my Mom is a small town girl and once my Dad got big all he wanted to do was go to parties and clubs, he'd be gone for months and just expected Mom to be ready to go out when he got home. Also Mom was used to working. My grandparents own a café that she grew up working in. So for her just to stop working was big but Dad just expected her to because this was his dream.
When I came it changed a little. He stayed home some more but not much. Mom just kept her mouth shut. That is until my sister Sarah was born. Then she and Dad started fighting. I was 4 when she was born. All the fighting started to scare me. Dad came home from a shoot drunk the 4th time around my 10th birthday. I say 4th but that's the 4th time when I was down stairs. I can't count the times he'd come home when I was asleep; and he'd wake me up. Only this time a red headed woman followed him in and was all over him.
Mom was helping me in the living room with my home-work when we heard him come in. He was singing and laughing until the red head came in and they started making out. Mom made me go to my room but I still remember that night. I was daddy's little girl. Sure he was gone a lot but I didn't know better. I thought all daddies did that. I remember mom crying and the red head yell and a slamming door. Then Dad and Mom just went at it. I heard Sarah crying so I went to her. That's were I spent the night.
The next day Dad moved out. For the next month all Mom did was cry and stay in her room. Unless there was an appearance to be made, then she'd get all dressed up, act happy, and come home crying harder. We didn't see Dad for 6 months. He then came home and brought Mom flowers and they talked a lot. I found out later that they went to a counselor for their problems They still fought about him being there but nothing really changed, that is until my 17th birthday.
Even though Dad wasn't there much I loved him and when he was home I wanted to spend all my time with him. I was the perfect daughter for him. I was a straight A student, I had a 4.0 GPA, head cheerleader, was in numerous groups, was class president, in the track and swim teams, and helped with a lot charities. I never got in trouble, was late, or skipped school. I hung out with the right people. My best friend Maria DeLuca is my Dad's best friend's daughter and my boyfriend is Max Evans. Phillip Evan's son. Phillip is the number one director in Hollywood right now. Max is the quarterback on the football team and captain of the basketball team.
Every year on my birthday my Dad and I had a special dinner just the 2 of us. Then Maria and Mom threw me a big party the next day because Dad normally had to catch a flight out the next day. This year we were going to Lunaria. Dad had gotten me a brand new baby blue Corvette for my birthday. He drove us there.
We caught up on everything. He even offered me a part in his next movie. Even though I really had no desire to act, if it meant I got to spend more with him I'd do it. He let me drive in the way home. He had just put in the new Rob Thomas CD and was telling me a funny story when our light changed. Right as it turned and I started to go I heard him yell, the next thing I knew we were going the wrong way and I heard this huge boom. Dad yelled again and then everything went black.
Please tell me what you think. I have 11 chapters done and will post them all tonight. I am working on chapter 12 as well.
