Chapter 2: Elizabeth McDermott?
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Fox24: Thank you for reviewing!!!!! I'm an Elizabeth/Conner fan all the way, so they'll probably end up together.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
That afternoon at lunch, Elizabeth sat down beside Tia at their usual table. "I've been looking everywhere for you." Tia exclaimed. "I wanted to know exactly what happened this morning."
"You mean with Devon?" Elizabeth asked.
"Is that his name? I didn't know. Actually, I wanted to ask about-" But Tia was cut off by Conner sitting down across from Elizabeth.
"'Bout what?" Elizabeth prompted.
Tia just shook her head. "Nothin'."
"Whatever." Liz replied.
°°°°°
Conner walked down the hall about ten minutes after school let out. He had gone to make sure Megan had a ride home after she finished the work she was doing for the Oracle.
He hadn't been able to concentrate ever since that guy had shown up this morning at Liz's locker. Who was he? Moreover, why had Liz freaked out when she saw him?
In fact, he hadn't been able to think of anything or anybody but Elizabeth Wakefield all day long.
As he pushed open the door to the school parking lot, he saw Elizabeth sitting on the steps doodling on her creative writing notebook. She looked up when she heard the noise from the door opening.
"Hey Conner." She said.
"Hey. Why are you still here?" He replied, sitting down beside her.
"Oh. It's Jessica's day with the Jeep and I don't have a ride so I have to wait for her to get out of cheerleading."
"If you want I can give you a ride. Megan's going home with one of her friends so I was getting' ready to leave." Conner offered.
"Really? I mean, if it's not too much trouble…" Elizabeth trailed off.
"C'mon." He said standing then helping her up.
°°°°°
As they pulled out of the school parking lot, Conner turned on the radio and turned the knob, switching stations. When he finally settled on one he liked Liz listened to the words of the song playing.
I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taking just all that I had
But if you wanna try to love again
Baby, I've tried to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Elizabeth bit her lip. She understood that exactly. Even though she was dating Jeff, she wished she could be with Conner. After everything, she was still in love with him. She couldn't help it.
I probably love Conner more that I ever loved Todd. She thought to herself.
She snapped back to reality as Conner turned onto her street. As he pulled to a stop in from of the Wakefield's house, Liz started gathering up her stuff.
Right as she was reaching for the door handle, Conner spoke. "I have this gig tomorrow night at the HOJ. Why don't you come?"
"You can count on me being there." Liz replied.
"See ya tomorrow." He said, giving her a half smile.
Elizabeth opened the door and got out. Right before she closed it she said, "See ya."
°°°°°
The next day at lunch, instead of sitting with Tia, Andy, and Jessica, Elizabeth sat at a table with just herself and Conner. Jeff was still out sick and, as mean as it sounded, Elizabeth was glad.
The whole time during creative writing that morning, Elizabeth and Conner had been shooting glances at each other. Mr. Quigley had even had them read each other's homework assignments. Not that their teacher had done that on purpose, it was just a fluke. Right?
°°°°°
Tia, Andy, and Jessica were sitting at their usual lunch table along with Maria Slater.
"Where are they?" Tia wondered aloud.
"Where are who?" Andy asked as he used his fork to poke at his lunch.
"Elizabeth and Conner." Tia replied as she looked around the cafeteria.
"There they are." Maria said, pointing to a table at the edge of the room.
Jessica, Tia, and Andy followed her gaze and saw Elizabeth and Conner sitting across from each other, laughing.
Just then, Conner reached across the table and took Elizabeth's hand in his own.
Jessica's jaw open. "What the…?" She asked.
"Well, I guess we're back to the whole Elizabeth McDermott routine." Tia remarked sarcastically.
The others looked at her. "What are you talking about?" Jessica questioned.
"Well, when I talked to Conner last night, practically the only thing he would talk about was Liz." Tia replied before turning back to look at Liz and Conner one more time. They were just staring at each other like two people in love. She rolled her eyes before turning back around to tune into the conversation.
"…so there's going to be a huge crowd 'cause of the gig." Jessica was saying.
°°°°°
Conner McDermott:
I don't know why I'm having these feelings for Liz again. I thought I was over her, but the past couple of days, every time I'm around her, I can't seem to concentrate on anything else. I haven't even thought of Alanna since yesterday morning. And the funny thing is, I don't even care. I'm over Alanna. Not the way I was 'over' Liz. I really don't care about Alanna anymore. Not a single bit. And you know what? It feels great to be free of the whole 'Mr. Alanna Feldman' act. I just hope I can work things out with Liz because I think I'm still in love with her.
Elizabeth Wakefield:
I didn't realize exactly how much I missed Conner. Not just the kissing, as great as that was, but just being around him. As soon as Jeff comes back to school, I'm breaking up with him. Jeff was fun to be around, granted. But I still love Conner. And I think he still loves me too.
