The trip home from Pennsylvania was taciturn and filled with tension. Liz's mind was flooded with scenes from her past. Visions of high school shot through her mind. She was deep in thought when she felt the turbulence from the plane. She looked out the window to see the lights of London shining from below her.

Will walked over to the luggage dock and picked up their luggage. The plane ride had been quiet but the ride home would be worse. He saw Liz heading his way from the valet.

"Our car should be here any moment," she said lifelessly.

Will raised his eyebrow; Liz had never acted like this before. He knew something was terribly wrong. He began to put his arm around her, but she pushed it away quickly. He gave her a worried glance and turned away. They slowly walked over to the entrance of the airport where their car was waiting for them.

"I'm driving," Liz said as she took the keys out of Will's hands. He jumped into the car after her and they began their drive home.

"What's wrong?" Will asked.

"Nothing, I'm fine," Liz answered.

"Yeah right, really what's wrong with you? You're acting really weird," he said, giving her a sideways glance.

"I told you, there's nothing wrong. I was uh…just feeling sick at the airport, and now I'm just um…tired…yeah…tired," Liz replied. Something about her voice implied other things but Will was in no position to try to figure that out.

"Well everything doesn't seem fine," he said as he crossed his arms.

"Trust me, it is."

Liz parked the car in front of her apartment and began to unload the bags. Will walked up the stairs and unlocked the door. He slowly began to walk back down the stairs when he saw a figure standing on the corner holding a piece of paper. He walked up to the person.

"Hello, May I help you?" he asked. The figure turned around to reveal a man in his late 20's.

"Yes, I'm looking for an Elizabeth, Elizabeth Gold," the man replied. The piece of paper he was holding revealed to be directions to Liz's apartment.

"You've come to the right place, she's over there," Will pointed to Liz who was still unloading her things from her car.

"Thanks, if you'll excuse me," said the man as he walked toward Liz.

Liz looked up from her unpacking to see a man walking toward her in the moonlight. As the man came closer his profile became clearer and she immediately recognized him. Her jaw slowly dropped.

"Liz, how are you?" the man asked.

"You…what are you doing here?" Liz asked as she shook in her place.

"I had to see you, but I didn't know where you were, so I asked your parents. They told me where I could find you," the man said. He was now standing face to face with her.

"I can't believe it's you. I thought you would forget about me," said Liz. She slowly raised her hand to touch his face, as if to see if he was real. The man just looked at her in return.

"Of course I remember you! How could I forget you?" he asked.

"Well it's been almost 5 years you know," Liz said. She gazed into his beautiful eyes that almost sparkled in the moonlight. The man came closer to her and put his hands around her waist and pulled her into a kiss. Liz quickly pulled away.

"What do you think you're doing!"

"I thought we could pick up where we left off…you know…before the accident."

'The accident' Liz mouthed to herself. That dream she had had weeks ago came flashing through her mind. Suddenly it hit her that she was rejecting a kiss from her high school crush and one of her best friends. The man came close to her again and grabbed her hands.

"You can't tell me you forgot that night," he said.

"No, I remember it as clearly as if it was yesterday," Liz said, aghast.

"Then please, do me the honor," he said as he kneeled on one knee "…of accepting my hand in marriage."

Liz's eyes widened and her stomach flip flopped. She didn't know what to say so she just stared at him. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a box. He opened the box which held a beautiful diamond ring. Liz slowly nodded her head, before thinking about the consequences. The man slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her.

Will who was oblivious to all that was happening to his girlfriend, sauntered over to her car. As he turned the corner he was horrified at what he saw. The man who he had just directed to her was kissing her. He clenched his hands into fists and thumped the man in the head. The man fell over from surprise and gaped at Will from the ground.

"What are you doing!" exclaimed Liz as she helped the man up.

"Hmm let me try asking you the same question. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!" Will exclaimed.

"This is why I couldn't tell you what was wrong. I missed him. He was my high school crush, and I didn't realize I loved him until I saw Maria, and I saw how happy she was," Liz said.

"Who is this guy?" Will asked, getting ready to punch him again.

"This is Lance, the love of my life," she replied coolly.

"Lance was a real person?" asked Will in disbelief.

"Of course I was," replied Lance as he slipped his arm around Liz's waist.

"Is this what you want Liz?" Will asked, a tear silently slid down his cheek.

Liz gave will a sorrowful look. She didn't really know what she wanted to do. She was about to reply when a man stepped out from behind the shadows.

"Are you cheating on me again Lance!" the man cried as he threw his hands up in the air as if he wanted to play initial D or something.

"Mason!" exclaimed everyone at once.

"I knew it Lance! I thought you loved me, but no, you had to go and love Alicia and then Liz!" cried Mason as he made a sudden lunge toward Lance. He tackled Lance to the ground and began to beat wildly on his chest.

"Stop it! Stop it now!" exclaimed Liz as she pulled Mason off of Lance.

"I never loved you. How could I? You're so selfish!" exclaimed Lance

"LANCE ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME!" came a shrill voice from behind the building.

"Alicia!" squeaked Lance. Alicia stepped out of the shadows and slapped Mason and then Lance.

"What are you doing here?" asked Liz who was now so confused that she was about ready to give up on the whole matter.

"I came because I knew Lance would come here when he ran away," said Alicia. Lance looked up at her and shook his head.

"I didn't run away," he said as he pulled himself to his feet.

"Well you left home," she said. Alicia glanced at Liz and then at Mason. "Tell me the truth Lance, do you really love me?"

Lance gazed deeply into Alicia's eyes. "Yes."

"Then kiss me."

Lance pulled Alicia into a long kiss. Mason looked at them and clenched his fists. His eyes burnt with hatred for Alicia. All he could think about was that she was a boyfriend stealing wench.

"I HATE YOU ALICIA! YOU STOLE LANCE!" screamed Mason in disgust. He shook his fist angrily at the couple and ran away into the darkness waving his arms around frantically.

"What in the world?" asked Liz as she stared after Mason who was still waving his arms around frantically.

"Liz I'm very confused, I thought you said this guy was the love of your life," said Will, his brow furrowed.

"Well…that's a funny story, one I don't really want to get into right now…sooooo," Liz said as she sidestepped Will's question. Will gave her a frightful look. Liz turned her gaze from him to avoid the look but she could feel his eyes bore a hole in her head.

"FINE! You want to know the truth! He wasn't my high school sweetheart! He was Alicia and Lance's high school sweetheart!"

Liz fell to the ground sobbing. She wasn't sure what she wanted anymore, but it most certainly wasn't to be in the position she was currently in. Will came over to her and put his arms around her. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew he had to let whatever it was go. Meanwhile Alicia and Lance made out.

Liz suddenly realized that she was still wearing Lance's ring. She ripped it off her finger and threw it in the rain gutter. It fell to the bottom of the gutter with a loud plop. Liz's tears had finally subsided and she realized that she needed to tell Will what was going on.

"Will, I have to tell you something. Lance and I did go out, and well we thought we were in love, but he deep down still really loved Alicia and kind of Mason. He thought he could get rid of those feelings by proposing to me, and I said yes without thinking. I really do love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you," Liz said as tears began to well up in her eyes again. She let her head hit Will's chest as sobs began to wrack her body again. Will clung to her and he too began to cry, but tears of joy. He rose to his feet and picked Liz up with him. He then gathered her up in is arms and carried her back to his factory. When they arrived at the factory, Will set Liz down on his bed, she looked up at him with glassy eyes. She slowly brought her face up to his and they locked themselves in a romantic and passionate kiss. The kiss then turned into many kisses and before they knew it they were resting in each others arms the next morning.

THE END!
