Chapter 1: Wish That I Could Read Your Mind
"Sure," Elizabeth Wakefield muttered to herself almost a year later. Forever and ever. She knew she shouldn't have ever believed Conner McDermott in the first place.
"Liz? Liz? Earth to my sister, hoi..." her twin, Jessica, whispered in Liz's ear, waving her hands in front of her face.
"W--What?" Liz said, snapping out of her trance.
"Man, Liz, what's up with you?" Jessica asked. Suddenly, it hit her like a pile of bricks. "Ohhh...." she said. "It's one week till it would have been yours and McDermott's one-year anniversary. Not like it would've actually..."
"Just drop it, alright?" Liz snapped, which surprised even Jessica.
"Sheesh, okay, okay. You don't have to get all angry about it."
Suddenly, the two were interrupted by the ringing of the phone, and Jessica ran to the kitchen to answer it.
"Where are you going?" Liz shouted.
"To answer the phone...it's probably Jeremy," Jessica called back.
Liz rolled her eyes. Her twin, Jessica Wakefield, was a wild and outgoing type of girl, who liked a different boy every week.
Unlike her sister, Elizabeth Wakefield was a quieter and more conservative girl, and certainly a conservative dresser, who didn't attempt to show off, or gain a different guy every single week as her sister did.
Conner McDermott flipped the power button of the radio to the 'On' position, not even pondering the thought that he could come across any unknown station.
Suddenly, Conner paused to listen to what one of the DJ's of the currently playing station was saying.
"And now, we introduce you to the newest pop group, Jump5! In this group are 16-year-olds Chris Fedun and 16-year-old Lesley Moore, 15-year-old Libby Hodges and Brandon Hargest, and the youngest, a 14-year-old named Brittany Hargest. Check out their newest CD at their official website, www.jump5.com. Here's one of their best songs--in my opinion, anyway--Wish That I Could Read Your Mind!"
Wish that I could read your mind,
Understand what you hide in your heart,
Then maybe I could help you see how loved you are.
Wish that I could find the words,
That would echo inside of your soul.
'Cause then, my friend, you'd know,
He loves you so.
God loves you so...
Irritated, Conner slammed the power button into the 'off' position. "It was a darn religious station," he muttered under his breath to himself.
Still, the words held some truth to them. He wished that for once he could tell what Liz was thinking...the not-so-obvious.
"While some of his friends who were religious thought he needed God, he knew right now that he needed to reconsile with Liz Wakefield...he just needed to find out how.
