Elizabeth stared intently at the television. Yup, it was him. Even
though it had been two years, he still looked the same. Sure his hair was
spiky now and if it was possible, he was even hotter then when he was
twenty.
Elizabeth felt tears well up in here yes. Conner was rock singer and no
one had told her? He was probably in all the magazines, on the radio
and probably on tour!
She grabbed her cell phone and dialed her parents number.
"Hey, mom? It's Liz. Why didn't you guys tell me that Conner was
famous!'
"I thought you knew, sweetie," her mother asked confused.
"No, I didn't know!" Elizabeth shrieked. "When did all of it happen?"
"He released his first disc last summer. It sold millions of copies,
dear. He's been every where. I don't see how you could not have known."
Elizabeth stared at the television in disbelief as the video ended.
"Make sure you call this number if you want to win tickets to see
Conner McDermott live in LA!!!" the announcer blared.
Elizabeth ended the call with her mom and quickly dialed the number on
the screen.
"Crap," she muttered as she kept getting the busy signal. She dashed
out of her room and into the hotel lobby. She ran and bought a newspaper
and turned to the entertainment section. She saw the number for the
local ticket outlet. She quickly dialed.
"Hello," she said rushed. "I'd like a ticket for Conner McDermott's
concert."
The lady burst out laughing. "Are you kidding, dear? The show has been
sold out for weeks!"
"But Conner! He's my boyfriend! I mean, he used to be and I really need
to see him."
"Nice try, you won't believe how many people give me that story."
Elizabeth hung up in frustration.
She couldn't believe this. Somehow from the day he ran out on her to
today he had become this huge superstar.
She needed to do some investigation.

Elizabeth poured through the phone book hoping to find some sign of
Conner, Megan or their mother. Conner was unlisted, which she knew because
he was famous. She couldn't find Sanbourne, but maybe Megan had gotten
married or moved.
Finally she dialed information and they were able to give her an
address for a Miss Sandbourne. Elizabeth prayed that it was Megan.
She got into her car and drove to Bellflower Ave. She pulled in front
of a small white building. She read the sign in front that said Sweet
Valley Mental Rehabilitation Center. Elizabeth began to wonder if they
had given her a different Miss Sandbourne after all.
She walked into an attractive lobby and went up to the front desk.
"Hello," she greeted the receptionist. "I'm looking for Megan Sandbourne. I
was told that there was a Sandbourne here," she babbled.
"Yes, we have a Miss Megan Sandbourne, age twenty."
"I think that's her," Elizabeth said worried. What was Megan doing
here?
The receptionist smiled up at her. "She's in room 19 down the hall to
your left. It's nice that you came. Besides her brother she gets no
other visitors."
Elizabeth thanked her and started for the room. She approached number
19 and slowly entered.
The room was small but cheerful. In a armchair sat thin pale faced girl
with short reddish hair. Elizabeth stared at her closely and realized
that it was Megan.
"Oh my God," Elizabeth said, tears running down her cheeks. What had
happened to the cute vivacious girl that she had known four years ago?
Elizabeth cautiously approached Megan and she reached out her hand to
Megan's shoulder. As soon as she touched her, Megan let out a yelp and
cowered away from Elizabeth.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" a harsh voice said. The man
grabbed Elizabeth and turned her sound.
Elizabeth gasped as she stared into Conner's hard green eyes.
