The Promise Land: Chapter One: Let me Explain
There's something's in life that I just know. It's like a sixth sense or something stupid like that. But the day that I met William. I just knew. This was it. I'd finally found that all elusive soul mate. But you know people tend to ignore this information when you're only 15. Hell they ignored me up until I was 19 and 3 months pregnant. But anyways before this story can become anything more than a tale for the grandchildren I should probably tell you my name. So here it is in all its stupid glory. Elizabeth Anne O'Conner. I know talk about stupid, but my parents are the idiots that named me. But then again my name is partly the reason that William fell in love with me. So that's one point for the idiots that are my parental unit.
I'm the oldest of 4 really annoying brats. I have a twin brother, who is the only sane one and two little sisters. And the age gap between the two sets of twins. 16 years. Yes, my folks are stupid. My brother's name is Alexander, but I call him Xander which really pisses mom and dad off. Xander is my only confidant in that hell hole and I'm his best friend. He can be a brat, but he's all I've got. My sisters are now 6 and they're names are Dawn Maria and Tara Lynn. They're both brunettes with blue eyes like my mom and dad, which makes me hate them even more. Xander and I are misfits. We both have dark hair with green eyes. We're the only ones on either side of the family that have green eyes. We think that our mom had and affair and got pregnant just so my dad would marry her regardless if we were his or not. We're doing a paternity test regardless of what mom says. Oh I haven't mentioned my dad much. His name is Liam 'Angel' O'Conner the sixth. Yeah nice name huh? He's really tall and has black hair and dark eyes. See why I wonder who I look like. I'm telling you controversy! But any who my dad is the best lawyer in LA. So we had butt loads of money when I was growing up. Joy, right? Not a chance. My mother's name is Darla O'Conner. She use to be a playboy model. Yeah I know humiliating. Now she's a nurse at a retirement home. And our house…huge. We own practically the whole street and we have two summer homes and a condo in the city. And I hated it. I always prayed that someone would come and kidnap me. That didn't happen but now that I look back on it, I'm kind of glad that it didn't. So now you're up to speed on my life. Here's where William enters the picture.
I had a pretty good group of friends my freshmen year of high school. They were nothing to brag home about, but they were my friends. We all were in art together. You know one of the boring extra currics that you don't want to take, but the school makes you. Anyways I chose art. Not the best decision, but it went against what 'they' wanted. So I was pretty stoaked when they threw the biggest hissy fit that LA has ever seen. Ha to them and their stupid petty lives. But anyways so I was having a pretty okay time in the class, then he walked in. Now I'm not much of a girl. Hell if I could I'd go back in time and demand that god make me a man. But when I saw William my heart stopped. You know when the book writers talked about love at first sight they describe it as being the most comfortable and exciting experience. Nope not in my case. It was horrible. My palms got sweaty, I stuttered and worst of all I passed out. Typical, just plain typical. But it was a nice way of getting him to notice me. So anyway, I woke up 15 minutes later to William's face right there asking me if I was okay and if my head hurt. Sweet, but not necessary. Can't blame a guy for trying right? So that's how William and I met. I'm still a little humiliated by the story but it's important to this story and to my life.
My senior year I was accepted at the New York School of Fine Arts in New York City. Mom and dad were okay with it because they knew they couldn't control it, but that doesn't mean they didn't try. Especially when Xander, who had moved out with his girlfriend Anya, told them that they were having a baby. So the folks got over it, but William…he freaked. William goes to UCLA. Smart kid my guy, but not very bright when it comes to me. He never has been. So the night after graduation we went up to my folk's cabin to 'rekindle' things and the next day he left me. It's hard to explain what happened, but I think I've finally figured out why. William isn't big with change. The boy hates it. So me leaving was just too much for him to handle. So I went home in tears and became the shell of the person that I use to be. My mom worried about me for the first time ever. Which really shocked the hell out of me. And the biggest contributor to the depression, I missed two periods and left for New York 3 months pregnant with William's baby.
So there I was a soon to be mother and a freshmen living in New York and attending one of the best art schools in the country. Now what I'm about to tell you might shock the hell out of you. But it's true. No one noticed that I was pregnant. No one at all. One of my best friends from high school, Willow Rosenberg, was also attending the same college as me. She was the only one that seemed to notice. So she and I moved into a 2 bedroom apartment just 2 blocks from our school. So here I am. Oh by the way. I had twins, Hayden Alexander and Lorelia Madison. They're my life now. They're both 3 and worst of all I never told William. So now that you're completely up to date. I can finally move on.
