I've had this story laying around for a while and I decided to reformat it and post it on EWAC.
It's basically about the trials and troubles of maintaining a relationship.
It does have Orlando it in but this story is mostly about Elijah since it is written in first person from his significant other's point of view.
I have 22 chapters at the moment and I'm about to go write 23 after I post #1 on here. Review nice and I'll post sooner. It's not like I don't have the chapters ready...Luv ya much! ~Alli~
I'm ready to start when you are...

~Disclaimer: I don't own who you already know, but I do own some people you don't know. Others are people that have so graciously agreed to allow me to use their names and personalities and such in my story.~

~L.A. Rox~*~Chapter1~*~June 26~

“Lij babe I’m home!” I called out to my boyfriend Elijah.
“Hey Baby!” Lij said coming and kissing me on the mouth. “What took you so long?” he asked.
“Got held up at the studio. And then I was late meeting Kat for lunch.” I said, “And here I am!”
“I’m glad you’re here.”
“Me too Lij, me too.”
“So how did Kat say Orlando was doing?”
“She said fine.”
“When’s he coming home?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Really? So soon?”
“Yup he misses Kat.”
“Awesome. I can’t wait to see him. It’s been a year.”
“Dom and Billy were just at our place last week.”
“I know and thank you soooooo much for hanging with Kat so I could get some guy time.” Elijah said pecking me on the cheek.

~Ok let me rewind for you here- My name is Allison, Alli for short. My boyfriend of almost two years is Elijah Wood, and yes I mean the actor. I am a singer recording my first album (That’s what I meant before when I was talking about the studio.) Kat is my best friend Kathleen. We both live in L.A. with our boyfriends, well when they aren’t filming at least. Kat’s boyfriend is Orlando Bloom, Lij’s friend and co-star from The Ring Trilogy (Legolas). Dom and Billy are also friends and co-stars from The Ring (Merry and Pippin). I think that about covers it for now back to today~

“Well at least Orlando isn’t staying here.” I said.
“Yeah and Kat is gonna want to spend some time with him.” Lij said.
“Duh it’s been a month since she last saw him.”
“You went for 3 months without even hearing from me one time.”
“Don’t remind me. We broke up shortly after remember?”
“I know babe but we had only been going out for 5 months before and we got back together 2 months later.”
“I know but it still sucks.”
“I had no cell reception!”
“Heard of a letter?”
“I don’t really write that well.”
“I know. Your writing’s terrible. I think Liz writes better and she can’t even write!”
“Hey don’t go sayin my niece can write better than me!”
“Heehee. By the way Kat’s bringing her over in a lil’ bit.” I said with a smile spreading on my face.
“Babe, why didn’t you tell me sooner? I have to go meet with my agent in 15 minutes!”
“Lij, she wants to see you!”
“She will, for a little while.” Just then there was a knock on the door.
I opened it to find my 2 year old niece. “Auntie Alli!”
“Hey doll-face!” I said picking her up and kissing her on the cheek.
“How are you sweetie?”
“Good, Daddy’s coming home soon.”
“Really? That’s great.” I told Liz smiling at Kat. “So Kat how long do you need me to watch her?”
“An hour I got a meeting.”
“You too?”
“What do you mean?”
“What’s-his-face over there has to go see his agent.”

~Let me rewind again! Liz is short for Elizabeth, Kat and Orlando’s 2 year old daughter (no they’re not married, yet). Kat is an actress too, so Lij and I sometimes have to watch Liz for months at a time if both of her parents are filming. They usually try to make it so that at least one of them is home with her. Sometimes though, offers are too good to pass up and Liz gets a visit with her ‘Auntie Alli.’ She loves visiting me and Lij, because we spoil her to death. It’s not like I don’t have any other nieces and nephews, I mean I do have two brothers, but I rarely see them. Even if Lij and I weren’t dating Liz would still be my niece since she is my best friend’s daughter. I actually met Elijah through Kat and Orlando. Visiting your best friends has some advantages, do it more often!~

I set Liz down as Lij walked back into the room. She ran to him, “Uncle Lijah!”
“Hey Princess!” He said scooping her up much like I had just done.
“Daddy’s coming home soon!”
“Really? Look Sweetie, Uncle Lij really wants to visit but he has to go for a meeting.” He said putting her down.
She pouted. “Come on Liz, Auntie Alli has a present for you.” I said holding my hand out to her and glaring at Elijah (I only use his full name at certain times, depending on how I’m feeling. Like now, when I’m mad).
“Yay!” she said taking my hand.
“I’ll see you later honey!” Kat called.
“Ok Mommy. Bye Uncle Lijah.” Liz said waving.
I sat her on the couch and gave her the present. “Ohh a pony!” Liz exclaimed ripping off the paper. “Can we open it now?”
“Sure Princess.” I told her getting out scissors.

[A/N: Ok well there's the first chapter. I hope ya'll enjoy it, and I hope you like this story! Most of my friends seem to but maybe they're faking...;) lol Alright well please review and Chapter 2 will be up soon ~Alli~]

YAY! you posted this story!! *hugs you* here is some choclate! *gives alli choco. bar* YAY!! this one is a good one or am I just saying that b/c I get wiht orli! No I am saying that b/c it is so good! well, g2g bye chicadee!
~Kat or Kit-kat~

~L.A. Rox~*~Chapter 2~*~June 26~

An hour later there was a knock on the door so I went to get it. It was Kat. “Hey, where’s Liz?”
“Sleeping, We played with her pony, watched a movie, played Candyland, and then she passed out.”
“Thanks Alli you always know how to wear her out.”
“I’m good.”
“Right.” Kat said laughing.
The door opened again and Lij walked in. “Hey beautiful.” He said handing me flowers.
“Elijah Jordan Wood! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to! These flowers mean bad news, how long is the shoot?”
“8 months.”
“8! What the hell is up with these people?! Where do you have to go?”
“South Carolina.”
“I’m going right?”
“What?”
“You know my family lives there right?”
“Yeah.”
“So am I going with you?”
“No.”
“WHAT?” I yelled.
Then Kat said, “I think I’ll just get Liz and go see you later Alli, Elijah.” She went and got Liz and left as Elijah and I continued arguing.
“They won’t let anyone bring their loved ones with.” He said.
“What if we had a kid?” I asked.
“No and what are you gonna do anyway steal Liz?”
“Shut-up.” I said sitting down on the couch defeated, “When do you leave?”
“Two weeks.”
“Two? They give me two weeks to say goodbye to you? That’s it?” I said crying.
He sat down next to me and putting his arm around me said, “That’s not enough? Baby, Don’t cry, please.”
“I can’t help it. I’m gonna miss you so much! You’ll miss our 2 year anniversary!”
“I won’t miss it! You actually doubt that I wouldn’t ask them for time off for that? I’m like the freaking lead and if they don’t let me off I’ll quit.”
“You better not! If my album doesn’t sell then we’re out of a lot of money for recording and actually putting it out on the market.”
“Baby, don’t worry it’ll sell great and we’ll be rich!”
“We already are.”
“You know what I meant. Well I gotta go search through my wardrobe and figure out what I’m gonna wear tonight.”
“Tonight?”
“I didn’t tell you?” I shook my head and he continued, “We’re meeting with the director for dinner tonight.”
“Lij! You didn’t tell me this earlier? I gotta go shopping! What time are we going?”
“Umm…at seven.” He said with a sheepish look on his face for not telling me sooner.
“Only 3 hours! It’ll take me that long to find a dress and get my hair done and my nails and then my makeup, oh god!”
“Calm down Alli! It’s not that important”
“I suppose I don’t need to get my nails done, and I can do my own hair, but I still need a dress.”
“Well go then.” Lij said kissing me.
“Feed the cat!” I yelled as I grabbed my purse and shoes and rushed out to my silver Porsche Boxster. As I left I pulled out my cell and called Kat. “Kat I’m on my way to your house.”
“Why?”
“We’re going shopping.”
“Okay?” A few minutes later I pulled into her driveway behind her Chrysler Sebring Convertible. She ran out and hopped in the car and we left.

[A/N: Even though Kat was the only one who replied...I posted chapter 2 for ya'll. I want to keep the story bumped up some on the board here. Such fun my peeples. I'm watching the same episode of 'Kept' that has been on for like the past week. I think this is about the 5th time I've seen this specific episode lol. Some of those guys are hott though...Righty well I'm gonna get going now. ~Alli~]

~L.A. Rox~*~Chapter 3~*~June 26~

“So where’s Liz?” I asked.
“She’s with my cousin; she was at the house when you called.”
“Oh I see. Where’s Orlando again?”
“Seychelles.”
“I’ve heard it’s really pretty there.”
“He said he took a lot of pictures.”
“Cool you’ll have to let me see them. For now I gotta shop.” I said grinning.
“You are a shop-a-holic!” Kat said laughing.

We raced in and out of stores until I found the perfect black halter dress. I also picked out a pair of pink high-heeled sandals with little hearts on the side, a pink wristlet for a purse, and a pink rhinestone heart necklace. 2 hours later I dropped her back off at her house waving and hurrying home to get ready.

“Lij! Where are you?” I said coming in the door to our house.
“In our room!” He yelled down.
I started running up the stairs. “Ok, well I claim the shower!” I said reaching the top.
“Mind if I join you?” he said poking his head out the door of our room.
“Elijah!” I said whacking him with my purse
“What? I was kidding! So let me see what you bought.” I showed him and he said, “It took you 2 hrs to get that?”
“Yes! Now shut-up so I can get ready.” He bowed and said, “Yes milady.”
“Did you feed Frodo?”
“Yeah, stupid cat I don’t know why you named him that.”
“Because I love you.” I stated and walked into our bathroom.

An hour later I was finally ready with Elijah yelling at me to hurry up from downstairs.
I walked down and he said, “Well that was worth the wait.”
“Aww, Lij you’re such a sweetie.” I said pecking him on the lips.
“Come on, I don’t want to be late,” he said. So we walked outside to his black Toyota Celica and got in.
“So babe what do you want for our anniversary?” Lij asked me once we had pulled out of the driveway.
“You.”
“Other than that?”
“Nothing. I mean you already gave me a car and a truck, by the way your car sucks compared to mine.”
“How do you know?”
“Because my brothers taught me a lot about cars.”
“That makes you even better.”
“How so?”
“You know a lot about sports and cars,” he said, “I like it.”
“So glad you approve.” I said rolling my eyes.

We finally got to the restaurant and had an amazing dinner talking with the director. Lij had to shut me up a couple of times because I would complain about the length of the shoot. The director said he couldn’t change it but he would definitely let Lij have time off each month. YAY! So then I found out all the details about the movie. Crazy bastards, an 8 month shoot…

[A/N: I never really liked that chapter but it goes with the story so I had to put it in…oh well. I’m sad b/c no one reviewed…Luv 2 u all anyway ~Alli~]

Hey! I would have read it earlier had I been notified!! Tjeez!! lol.

I think it's all really sweet. Definitely sucks that Elijah is going away for 8 months, that would be sooooo disappointing!

Post the next chapter you :P hehe.

Haha you're such a funny one. I will update when I feel like it... :neene: which is right now :shine: Just for you Catwoman...

~L.A. Rox~*~Chapter 4~*~June 27~

The next morning Lij brought me breakfast in bed.
“Mornin Sleeping Beauty.” He said.
“Lij what’s all this?” I asked sitting up some.
“Because I only have two weeks to say goodbye to you and treat you like the queen you are so I figured I’d start now.” I pulled him down and kissed him hard on the mouth. “Oh yeah and we have to go with Kat and pick up Orli in an hour.”
“What?” I said jumping out of bed getting dressed.
“Babe you’ve got time!” He said laughing.
“Not really!” I yelled back.

~An hour later~ “Alli are you ready yet?” Lij said standing at the door.
“Yes,” I said walking down the stairs, “Let’s go.”
“Kat’s picking us up in Orlando’s car.” He said as a car horn honked in the driveway.
We went out and got in the backseat of the silver Explorer with Liz in the middle.
“So how did dinner go?” Kat asked.
“Fine,” we both replied.
“We’re going to get Daddy!” Liz said.
“That’s right sweetheart, and where are we going?” Kat said.
“The Airpot.” Liz said and we laughed.
We told Kat more about dinner on the way to the airport. When we got there we went to the gate where the plane was supposed to be arriving.
As we were waiting a flight attendant walked over to us and asked, “Miss Stryker?”
“Yes.” Kat said. “I have orders to bring you with me so if you 4 would come along please.” So we all went outside to where the plane was coming to a stop.
“I’ll hold onto Liz for now.” Lij said and I smiled over at him.
The plane door opened and Orlando was the first one off... “Baby!” he said dropping his bags, picking up Kat, and spinning her around. Then he set her down and kissed her, at least until Liz yelled for him. He let go of Kat and they walked over to us holding hands.
Lij set Liz down and she ran to Orli screaming, “Daddy!”
“Hello Princess,” he said picking her up and kissing her.
“I missed you Daddy.”
“Well I missed you too.”
“Mommy missed you more. She was crying the one night.”
“Was she?”
Kat blushed and said “Yeah.”
“Awww!” Me, Orli, and Lij said.
Orli kissed Kat again and we walked towards the car with Orlando holding Kat’s right hand with his left and holding Liz up on his right arm. Lij and I sat up front (I was driving.)
“So Orlando,” Lij said, “How was Seychelles?”
“Really beautiful. How’s the acting going?”
“Just got a new role yesterday. 8 month shoot but we’ll live. Well maybe not Alli.” Lij said laughing.
“Shut-up you cracker.”
“No need to get hostile!” Orlando said.
“Oh my god!” Kat said, “You’re so lucky you were gone! They fight like an old married couple!”
“What was it about this time?”
“The usual.”
“Thanks a lot guys!” I said.
“We’re just kidding Alli!” Kat said.
“So am I.”
“So Alli how’s the recording process going?” Orlando asked me.
“Ugh it’s going but it’s tough. The hours are nuts. Yesterday I was there at 3 in the morning. That was the only time the sound guy could be there.”
The conversation continued much like this as we drove to Lij’s and my place. Liz fell asleep on the way.


[A/N:I feel the burning need to just post all of what I have of this story right now (which currently is 24 chapters) and let you guys just read away but I know you would hate that...so I won't :) Luv 2 all my readers ~Alli~]

I LOVE THAT CHAPTER!!! *does a little dance* ok, maybe the only reason I like that chapter is because Orlando and I get to kiss *sigh/drool* and we have a kid! But it is still so cute how he acts around Liz! and you and elijah fighting like an old married couple is funny! well, g2g update soon sista! and get whisper and alejate and learning the rules updated *hit with pillow*
~kat~

lol, if you posted all 24 chapters, we'd be completely spoiled and then would constantly be demanding more. You just can't do that to us; it'd be a shock to our system!! We wouldn't know what to do!! We'd be all 'What's this?? An insane amount of chapters all at once!!! Well this is crazy!!! I wonder if all the other fics I read have done the same thing...' and then they wouldn't have and we'd be disappointed yet happy at the same time.... See what I mean by confusing?


Anyways, about the chapter!! Gah!! I can't believe Elijah only gave her ONE HOUR to get ready to go to the airport!! That's crazy!!! I so wouldn't have been ready. I thought Orlando's arrival was really cute :) and so was the breakfast and bed; yeah, he'd better be sucking up to her!!

:D Loves it, Alli, keep it coming ;) :)

So glad you like! I would post chapter 5 if my computer would stop being a pain...grr to it. lol. Umm I posted 8 of Whisper for ya'll so you can stop pestering...lol *hits back with pillow* Luv u both! ~Alli~

~L.A. Rox~*~Chapter 5~*~June 27~

“So when do you have to leave for the shoot?” Orlando asked Lij back at our place.
“A little under two weeks.”
“Wow, I’m home till the next offer comes up. Finally get to see my family.”
“I know what you mean. 8 months. Lord of the Rings was 15 months, but I didn’t have a girlfriend then.” Lij said smiling over at me.
“Can we please stop talking about you leaving?” I asked.
“Sure baby,” Lij told me then he leaned over to Orlando and said, “It upsets her.”
“Elijah,” I said.
“What? I didn’t do anything.”
“You rolled your eyes.”
“No I didn’t and even if I had how would you know? You can’t even see my eyes.”
“How do I know? Because I have been going out with you for almost two years and I know more about you than you know about yourself. Wait let me guess you’re going to say ‘That’s a scary thought’ Right?”
“I-I-I-don’t even know what to say now, you stole my line!” Lij said and we all laughed.
“Write it in the record books! The day Lij had nothing to say!” Kat said trying to stop laughing.
Just then Liz rolled over and Orlando said, “Maybe we should take Liz home.”
So we all said goodnight and they left. Me and Lij just sat on the couch talking for a while and then we kinda hit a lull so I said, “I’m gonna miss you so much.”
“Aww baby,” Lij said, “I’ll miss you too. You’re my world and I love you. I really wanted to wait to do this until I was back for or 2nd anniversary but the time seems right now.”
“Lij what the fu-?”
“Just listen don’t talk.” He said and then continued, “As I said you are my world and I love you so much. I don’t know what I would do without you. You always put a smile on my face, you take care of me, you cook for me, and you keep me on schedule. I’ve lost you once before and I’m not losing you again. So will you Allison Renee, do me the honor of becoming my wife.” He had dropped to one knee and was holding a ring.
I, of course, was crying, and then I jumped on him and we rolled around the floor laughing and kissing and he said, “I guess that means yes.”
“Yes, I love you so much.”
“I love you too Alli.” He said slipping the ring on my finger.

We started to talk again and I said, “Lij I want kids.”
“So do I.”
“Soon?”
“Baby we should a least be married, I mean the whole dating with a kid thing works for Kat and Orlando but we’re not Kat and Orlando we’re Alli and Lij. I have my career already and you’re just starting yours, we have to plan a wedding around your tour and my filming. It’ll be hard enough without a pregnant you.”
“I suppose you’re right.”
“Aren’t I always.”
“Don’t push it.” I said kissing him on the lips as I stood up.
He stood up also, “And now milady it’s time for bed.” He took my hand and dragged me upstairs.
After we had gotten ready for bed and we were under the covers, I snuggled up to his bare chest and said “Night Lij.”
“Night future Mrs. Wood.”
“Sounds good to me.” I said yawning then resting my head on his shoulder I went to sleep safe in my fiancé’s arms.

~A/N: le sigh, I'm so happy with this chapter...even though I know things that are coming...muwahahahaha! be afraid, be very afraid...lol Right well that's chapter 5. Chapter 6 will be up sooner rather than later. Review pleeze ~Alli~

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..... HE PROPOSED!!!!! *dies*

:yahoo


I loved that chapter too Alli :) And I refuse to acknowledge that little hint that things may get worse/upsetting!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything Happy!! ALL THE TIME!!

:D

OMGOMOGOMGOMGOMG!!! PROPOSAL!!!!! YAY!!!!!!

this is so great! Luv it! :hug:

:heartbeat: Pat

~L.A. Rox~*~Chapter 6~*~June 28~

The next morning I woke up and couldn’t figure out why I felt so happy. Then I looked at my nightstand where I had left the ring the night before and everything came flooding back. I slipped out of Lij’s arms and went downstairs to the kitchen. I started making a breakfast of pancakes and I was almost finished when Lij walked in. He looks so cute after he wakes up with his hair all ruffled and wearing his glasses.
“Mornin baby.” He said pecking me on the lips and then going to get some coffee.
“Did you sleep good?” I asked.
“Yup, you?”
“Mm-hmm, now go sit so I can feed you.”
“Yes ma’am.”

We sat and ate breakfast and after we finished I got up to call Kat.
“Whatcha doin babe?” Lij asked me.
“Gotta call Kat and tell her the news.”
“Let me guess you’re gonna want to talk about how I proposed and all the tiny details. You aren’t going to start planning the wedding are you?”
“Just a few minor details. Like we have to go sopping for a dress.”
“We haven’t even picked a day yet!”
“Then let’s pick it right now.”
“Babe we gotta get out calendars and make sure we don’t overlap anything in our schedule.”
“Fine well I still want to talk to her and you and I are getting our schedules together a.s.a.p., and picking out a date. I want to get married after you get back in 8 months.”
“Okay we’ll start planning but we’ll have to plan a lot of the wedding on the phone since I’ll be gone.”
“I know but I can do a lot over the phone and Kat will help. Plus you’re coming home every month.”
“For a few days not much more.”
“Okay well I’m sill going to call Kat.”
“Fine since I know you’ll call her anyways.”

I called Kat and told her I had some news but it was really big so she had to come over. A couple minutes later she pulls into our driveway in her silver Dodge Viper and rushes up to the door and walks in without knocking. She’s allowed to do that since we are the bestest friends.
“Alli what the crap is so big that you couldn’t tell me over the phone?” she asked me.
I fake sneezed covering with my left hand figuring she would notice.
“Holy Shit! Alli that’s awesome!”
“What?” I asked innocently already knowing what she meant.
“You’re engaged!”
“Oh that!” I said grinning.
“Since when?”
“Last night.”
“Spill the details girlie!”

I told her all about how he had proposed. Lij can be so romantic sometimes, but it doesn’t happen very often so you kind-of have to remember when it happens detail for detail. I actually have a notebook with all the times written in it. I know, it is nuts but then he can’t say he’s never romantic and when he leaves for filming I read it because I like to think about him. Either that or I watch The Lord of the Rings movies, even though they make me cry, a lot. He can always tell when I’m watching them, even when we’re on the phone; it’s kind-of scary how well we know each other. But I love the boy to death.

~A/N: kks well I figured I would update for ya'll. This chapter was kinda short…most of the rest will be longer. Welcome Pat, so glad you found and even more glad you like! ACCEPT IT CAT! Luvz 2 all…~Alli~

YAY!!! U AND LIJ GOT ENGAGED!!

Awwww the book thing is sooooo cute. I lurve it :)

Guh, that wedding is going to be ridonkulously hard to plan.

~L.A.Rox~*~Chapter 7~*~June 28~

After I told Kat, Lij came down. “Hey baby!” he said to me as he walked over and kissed me on the lips.
“Ewww! Gross!” Kat said laughing.
“Shut-up!” me and Lij said.
“Baby I am going to go see Orlando and Liz since you already got Kat here. I should at least go tell my best friend,” he said.
“ Ok. Cya later. Love you”
“Love you too,” and he left.
“Well, lets go Wedding Gown shopping,” Kat said.
“No Lij said I can’t get one yet!” I said.
“ Well, we can still go look!” Kat said.
“Ok!”

So we took Kat’s silver Viper to ‘The White Room’ and went inside.
“Whoa that’s a lot of dresses!” I said stopping short as we walked in, “Where do we start?”
“Well, let’s just find the dresses you really like and go try them on,” Kat said.
I started picking out dresses that I liked and went to try them on. Kat waited outside while I tried them on.
“Alli are you ready yet?!” Kat yelled from outside on my 6th dress.
“Ok here I come.” I walked out and Kat’s jaw dropped. “What? Does it look that bad?” I asked.
“ No! You look amazing and soo beautiful!”
It was a one-piece white spaghetti-strap dress with criss-cross string like a corset top in the back and satin flowing bottom with a train and a pearl & diamond tiara.
“You think?” I asked looking down.
“Duh!” she said, making me laugh.
“Hey, Kat why don’t you try on some dresses?”
She looked down and said, “Well, I’m not engaged. I don’t think I should try any on.”
“It’ll happen soon don’t worry.” I said walking over to her and putting my arm around her shoulders.
“Alli, its just that Orlando is the father of my baby and if we broke up my daughter would never really have known who her real father was and I know that Orlando is the one but I’m not sure if he feels the same way.” She said starting to get tears in her eyes.
“Oh, Kat don’t worry he feels the same way because he loves Liz and he loves you even more! He will propose soon, don’t worry. And stop being such a baby.”
She cracked a grin and asked, “Do you think so?”
“I know so and we so shouldn’t have come here. Hey, just try on one, please, for me, your bestest friend in the whole wide world…” I said giving her the sad puppy look.
“Oh, ok.” She sighed.
“Yay!” I went to change while she found a dress and then she went to change into the dress she picked out.
“Kat, are you ready?!” I yelled from outside her dressing room.
“Yeah, are you ready?”
“Der!” I said.
Then Kat stepped out…
She was wearing a one-piece white strapless gown with beads and rhinestones on the front top and a satin skirt with a train in the back and a little diamond tiara on her head.
“Wow!! Kat you look awesome!!” I said excitedly.
“Really? It looks that good?”
“Like a princess, let me take a picture for memory and for your future wedding day.”
“Ok.” She said posing for my camera.

My plan was to send the picture to Orlando so it will hit him like a ton of bricks that he needs to propose. He may not get the hint though, men these days are so oblivious…but I on the other hand…am sooooo good. She put the dress back (after a lot of persuading) and we went back to my place.
When we got there I went on my computer and printed out the picture and put in envelope and put it next to Lij’s stuff. Lij came back for lunch and I told him to put the envelope through Orlando’s mailslot.
When Lij came back from doing the evil deed he yelled, “Mission accomplished!”
“What?” Kat asked
“Nothing! It’s a secret code for ‘I’m home.’” I said in a hurry.
“Right,” Kat said, “You know what I’m gonna go home and see Liz and Orli.”
“Ok, bye” and she left me Lij alone until that night when we got a phone call…

~Just what was that phone call? You’ll have to wait until chapter 8 to find out!! Okies so that was chappie 7!! It's wonderful and loverely all together lol. It's frikkin A! (which means frikkin awesome in case u don't kno.) You can also say freaking A and it means the same exact thing. ~A~ (not frikkin A, just A) lol~

BAHAHAHAHAHA!! Evil Alli!! Poor poor Kat... poor Orlando!! Tjeez, he's going to like DIE. I so bet that's him on the phone totally freaking out!! 'Some strange person is altering pictures so my love is in a wedding dress!!!!!!!!!! GAAAAAAAHHHHH!! WE HAVE A STALKER!!'
See, he's so oblivious he won't even get that it was actually you, Alli, you mischeif maker! The Marauders would be proud ;)

:D Loved it!! :)

EDIT: Am still working on Ch. 1 of LTTB. Oh yes, and I cut my hair extremely short today. I look more like the pictures of Keira Knightly now. It's like chin length...it feels weird! lol.

~kat/kit-kat~

I was only trying to help you Kit-Kat!!! Luv ya both...next chapter up momentairily...~Alli~

~L.A. Rox~*~Chapter 8~*~June 28~

I answered the phone, “Yellow, it’s a color.”
It was Kat, just as I suspected (and that’s what the caller I.D. said).
“Alli cut the crap! Did you send Orlando that picture?” “What picture?” I asked innocently.
“You know exactly what picture I mean! Thanks.”
“What?”
“I said thanks! Are you deaf!?”
“No but why thank me?”
“Because you’re talking to the future Mrs. Bloom!”
“YES! Score! I told you so! Haha! Now I must go tell Lij that our plan worked but I’ll visit you later and find out details.”
“Ok say hi to your fiancé for me!”
“Right back atcha.”
I hung up the phone and skipped around the room laughing.
Lij came to see what I was acting so crazy for and said, “You seriously need to go to the asylum babe.” Isn’t he sweet?
“You’d be comin with me!” I said making him laugh.
“So what are you so happy about?”
“Our plan worked and Orli proposed.”
“Awesome, baby you’re a genius.”
“I know. So what are you doin upstairs?”
“Packing,”
“Oh. Hey, I have a song for you!”
“I feel special.”
“You should. Go back to packing while I get my music, I’ll be up in a sec.”
“Ok.”

So I being my wonderful self went and got my music (basically a karaoke c.d.) to sing a song for my fiancé. I love that word don’t you? Fiancé, it’s just so… awesome. Anyway! So I ran upstairs, started my music and sang,

There's so much going on, you can think of me.
When your hope is gone, you can think of me.
To get through anything, you can think of me.
I'm here as long as you need me.
When nothing seems to work, you can think of me.
Your heart is on a search, Let it come to me.
I'll make it all reverse, when you think of me.
Baby you can see new life through me.

Let me be the reason you get through the day.
Know that I'll make everything OK.
Think of me baby in any way; I'll be all you need.
Let me be the one you turn to when there's pain.
Baby I will take it all the way.
Hide in me, I'll be your secret place, 'Cause it's all in me

“When don’t I think of you anyway?” Lij asked.
“Awww! So you liked it? I mean it was only like the first part but…”
“I loved it,” he said interrupting me.
“I have to go over to Kat and Orli’s, you wanna go?”
“Sure, for like the third time today.”
“It’s fun though! Muwahahahaha!”
“Baby don’t do that creepy evil laugh.”
“Which one? This one? Muwahahahaha!”
“Yes that one.”
“Ok, Muwahahahaha!”
“Screw you.”
“Only if you catch me!” I said running down the stairs.
Lij chased after me and caught up with me at my truck. He pinned me against it and kissed me deeply.
“Come on let’s go.” I said(minutes later, lol).
“Fine but do we have to take the truck?” he asked.
“Yes, it’s my baby.”
“I thought the Porsche was your baby?”
“Nope definitely the truck,” I said talking about my yellow Dodge Ram 1500.
“What about me?”
“Ok you win over the truck, but maybe not the Celica.”
“Hey!”
“Just kiddin.” I said as I kissed him again and climbed into my truck.

Ok well that is chappie 8! Hope ya'll liked, and now you know who was on the phone...tjeez. Ickiness in near future...~Alli~

~L.A. Rox~*~Chapter 9~*~June 28~

~At Kat and Orli’s place ya’ll!~
So we got to Kat’s house went in and they’re making out on he couch so Lij goes “Get a room!”
Kat blushed and Orlando goes. “Oh, hey guys!”
Like they didn’t know we were coming! I mean a girl does have a right to see her best friend!
“So Kat having fun?”
“I’m sure you had some last night.”
“Let’s not go there.” I said winking.
She and Orlando looked shocked, well until I burst out laughing. It was funny you should have seen their faces!
“So Kat let us women go talk and the men can watch the TV; since they can’t exactly do the whole ‘girl talk’ thing ya know?” I said.
“Let’s hope not.” Lij replied and I stuck my tongue out at him.
I swear I don’t know how people can be mature all the time, cuz I sure as hell can’t!

So Kat and I went in the kitchen and started talking.
“So tell.” I told her.
“Well Orli comes up to me after he got the mail and he’s like ‘Kat what’s this picture for?’ And I’m all like, ‘What the hell? ALLI!’ you know how I am. So he goes ‘No it’s not a bad thing you look amazing. I’ve been thinking a lot since this morning when I found out Lij had proposed to Alli. We have a kid already and I couldn’t be happier. But then I realized that we’re only dating. Liz needs to know her parents, both of them. And she needs her parents to be married.’ So I’m crying and he gets on one knee and opens a ring box. And he says ‘Kat, baby, you’ve made me the happiest man alive just by having my child but I want more than that. I love you so much. Will you marry me?’ And I’m like crying even harder but I managed to choke out a ‘yes.’ And then we kissed and then I called you and then we kissed some more and you guys walked in and tada! I’m engaged, just like you.”
“Copycat.” I said laughing.
“Yea yea, very funny. Alli’s always such a comedian.”
“I try. So I guess me and Lij will have to leave you guys alone more often now.”
“Good idea and same for you, you little rabbit,” Kat said winking at me.
“Kat! Oh my God! I can’t believe you said that. Sicko! Some people don’t fool around all the time!”
“I figured you would.”
“And why is that?”
“Because you and Lij like joke around about sex all the freaking time. So you’re telling me that you’re still a virgin?”
“I never said that.”
“So you lost you’re virginity to someone other than Lij?”
“I never said that either!”
“So you lost it to Lij?”
“I never said anything about my sex life!”
“Why not? I mean it’s not like you don’t know that me and Orli have screwed around.”
“Well that’s kind of obvious!”
“So are you still a virgin or not!?” Kat yelled.
What we didn’t know was that the guys heard her, and they just kind-of gave each other a look and sneaked over to the door to listen.
“No,” I said.
“So was it with Lij?”
“No, we haven’t done it yet.” “Have you told him you aren’t a virgin?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because Kat, I lost it in the 2 months we were apart.”
“What!?”
“It was a couple weeks after we had broken up and I wanted to piss him off. I thought he would find out right away.”
“Why did you want to piss him off, all he did was not write to you.”
“Look, I had heard that he’d slept around on me while he as on set and that’s why I broke it off. He never found out about me and thank god he didn’t because a little while later I heard that he hadn’t cheated on me.”
“So who did you sleep with then?”
“Dom.” “Alli how could you!?”
“He was drunk, I was too but not as much, and he never even knew it was me really. Billy knew and I figured he would tell, but he didn’t and I’m so glad.”
“How can you ever face Dom and Billy?”
“I can’t that’s why I hang out with you rather than at my place. I always tell Lij it’s so he can have ‘guy time’ but it’s not.”
“How do you live with Lij? That’s a huge secret to keep Alli and your gonna marry the guy!”
“I know! But if he ever found out it would kill him and I just can’t do it Kat! I just can’t.” I whispered the last part as tears streamed down my face and Kat came and wrapped her arms around me as I cried.
I cried like a freakin baby into her shoulder as she whispered to me, “It’s ok Alli, it’s gonna be okay.”

So there that chapter is. More drama and a lot more unexpected things to come up in the future. I always have to put something in. Whether it's minor or major...you'll find some type of tradgedy in my stories. ~Hobbit~ REVIEW YOU BLOODY IDIOTS!!!!! *smiles sweetly* I mean, please review...

It just comes naturally. I mean, obviously it's in MY nature to be mature. I'm always completly sensible.

BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA as if. It's more fun being immature :P

Well, if you're going to cheat at least make sure the guy is hot, which you did so job well done!! I say give the girl a break, she was drunk and heartbroken and he hadn't contacted her!!

I hope Elijah's nice about the whole thing :lalala:

hey! that twas a good chapter!! Me and Orlando kissing is very nice and hott! :drool: Thank you :bow: so anyways please update soon and the fight betwenn you and orlando before the story twas v. funny! *inside joke between me and alli for those of you who don't get it!* well, g2g cya!

~kat~

~L.A. Rox~*~Chapter 10~*~June 28~

Lij and Orli looked at each other stunned, outside the door to the kitchen. Then Lij went and sat down.
“Man what are you gonna do?” Orlando asked walking over and sitting down next to him.
“I don’t know.” Lij said.
“How do you face her when you overhear something like that. You don’t know whether to confront her because you’re mad or not say anything,” Orli said.
“Or she’ll be pissed if she finds out you really did sleep around on her.” Lij said just as Kat and I were about to walk back into the room.
I stopped her and whispered, “They heard us. And he did cheat on me?”
I started to go pale and she said, “Alli let’s listen, to see what he has to say.”
“You really did fool around then?” Orli asked.
“Yeah, it was two months after we’d started going out and I wasn’t really sure yet how I felt about her so I wanted to see. So I slept with one of the extras and it was so horrible. After I’d slept around I couldn’t write Alli. I couldn’t stand knowing how she’d be hurt if she ever found out. I was glad when she broke it off saying that the reason was I never wrote, it meant she didn’t know about me sleeping with that other girl. But then after we broke up, I missed her so bad and I knew I had to get her back even if it meant living with my guilt everyday. So I started to try and win her back you know. And it worked, but I still had my guilt. Well after what she just said I actually kind-of feel relieved. It’s like we’re even.”
“Lij man, no offense, but you aren’t really even because she was just doing it to get back at you and she said she was drunk. Hers was more like revenge and yours was just well to do it. So I think yours is worse. If you hadn’t slept around then hers would be worse because all you would be guilty of was not contacting her for 3 months. But this my friend absolutely takes the cake.”
“What kind of cake?”
“Maybe we should call it the stupidity cake.”
“Thanks a lot Orlando.”
“No problem mate.”

After that it was quiet so I walked into the room with Kat behind me.
Lij looked up and said, “Oh, hey baby.”
“Don’t hey baby me Elijah.”
“You heard me?”
“Yeah, and you heard me too.”
“Well you were talking loud!”
“Elijah, don’t do this here. It’s between you and me and I’m not dragging Kat and Orlando into it. Bye guys don’t know when I’ll see you next.” I said walking out to my truck. Elijah came out after me and slammed the door as he got in.
“Don’t slam my doors!” I yelled and the rest of the ride home was silent.
As soon as we got in the door Lij yelled, “How the hell could you sleep with Dom?”
“How could you sleep with an extra? At least we weren’t dating when I slept with him! And you know what? I liked it!”
“Shut the hell up!”
“No. You’ve gone too far this time Elijah.” I said storming up the stairs and grabbing some suitcases.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
“Away from you!”
“Fine be that way! Fuck off!” He yelled slamming out he front door, most likely headed for a bar.

I started to cry as I filled two suitcases with shoes and clothes. I also got the cat in it’s travel case, got it’s food and bowls and grabbed my teddy bear and favorite picture of Lij and went out to my Porsche. I drove until I found a hotel and got a room for the night. I lay petting Frodo, looking at my picture, and crying until I fell asleep. I didn’t sleep well that night, mostly because I knew what I had to do in the morning.
There was no way around it…it was over.


Sadness!! *sobs uncontrollably* I get exactly what I want and then I purposely make myself lose him. I'm such an idiot of an author if I do say so myself. Stay tuned for Chapter 11! ~Alli~

Ouch, brutal much Orlando? That dude has no idea of how to soften the blow. Tjeez.

I think he kind of missed the point there -_- ....


.... but it was still funny lol.

That's what YOU think :P

You are!! What were you thinking!??! :cry: *grumbles* Always with the dramatic plot twists and such... gwar...

:) Loved it, t'was sad, but awesome :)

:lmao: Yeah, that line always made me laugh too...guys are always missing the point and I just thot it very funny and hobbit like of him.
Have you seen that AOL commercial where the chick goes to the office and the gal at the end leans out from her cubicle and goes "I smell cake." :laugh: I love that commercial...it's so me!
Anyway! So glad you liked the chapter...next one sometime soon...;) ~Alli~
PS- How come you aren't on AIM?? I am...

I haven't seen that commercial :(

For some reason it wasn't working for me! Stoopi aim!

Hello my beautiful readers! I am sad to report that no, this is not an update. It is just a little bit of warning as to what is to come…I’m posting this in all of my stories by the way, you only have to read it once… :)
The parentals, Matty (aka my big brother Matt), and myself, plus Kat (aka Kit-Kat on this site…), are going to the beach in 1 day…YESS! Neither of us will be posting any new chapters during August 13-20. I may not be posting but I will certainly be working on new chapters to type as soon as I get back home.
Also, I know I personally will be slowing down with my stories after the 22nd because school starts back that day…CRAP! (lol) As Kate said, I’m already preparing my blank stare for class. I promised my parents that since I’m not doing cross-country this year, I’m going to work harder on my grades since Junior year is the most important year. Which means, I still won’t be able to know the password for the internet on the internet computer, and I won’t be able to work on my stories while my parents are awake…that’s okay though because there are plenty of hours where they are asleep and I am not. I can run on like 3 hours of sleep at school…done it before, and I can do it again for the sake of my stories. There are some sacrifices that have to be made in order to be a good author.
ANYWAY! I wanted to let you know that I am a giant slacker and suck at updating my stories as frequently as some people (myself included) would like them updated! Also, if you update your story (or have updated it any time recently), sorry it takes me so long to get around to posting my review. Today is my first time on the computer in at least a week! If you update while I’m gone next week…please send me a pm or short email if you can, telling me which story you updated, because it will be hard for me to keep up after a week away. I know it was after I went to Canada and I’m still not caught up with some of that aftermath. Thanks for everything ladies! I promise I’ll be working hard next week, I’ll have Kat with me and she helps a lot, we practically co-write all of our stories.
As for cast calls, if you think of any new story ideas while I’m away…think about possibly putting me in it (pretty please!) Most of you girlies love me enough to put me in anyway (right?) You better! lol Erm…what else, I might be having a cast call eventually if something comes to me.
Haven’t been on AIM in forever and have missed my nice chats with Cat, Jules, and Pat. *tears* You girls are the best. Can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to!
BTW: I finally read the 6th Harry Potter book! Loved it, highly recommend it, whatever the heck else I’m supposed to say about it…Daniel Radcliffe…hmm…my mind has gone blank.
Ok, I suppose that is about all for this lousy author’s note. Hope you all won’t be disappointed with the chapters I write while I’m gone. I shall see my MHS gurlies sooner than later. Too bad I’m missing ‘Return of the Mavs’…NOT! I won’t have to drag my text-books with me on the first day! Ha! Righty, luv to all who read this…XOXO. ~Alli~

More?

:hearbeat: Pat

I second that remark ^_^

Am planning on posting as much of this as I can right now before the parentals begin to yell...

~L.A. Rox~*~Chapter 11~*~June 29~

The next morning I woke up in the hotel at 7 o’clock and drove to our house.
Lij was passed out across the bed. I pressed my hand to my mouth to stop myself from crying and wrote Lij a small letter.
It said ‘I hate to have to do this but I don’t think I can take it anymore. I’m going home; don’t come after me. I’m so sorry. I still love you, sort-of. ~Allison~’
I stuffed it in an envelope and dropped my engagement ring and house key inside. I sealed it and placed it next to his sleeping form then slipped back outside to my car where I broke down in tears. I slowly drove over to Kat and Orli’s place and rang the bell. Kat opened the door and pulled me into a hug.
“I’m going home Kat, to Greenville, I can’t take it anymore.”
“Alli, what can I do?”
“Can you drive me to the airport and keep my car parked in your driveway? I don’t know how long I’ll be gone, maybe forever, and airport parking is a bitch. And I need you to watch Frodo until I can figure out how to get him home.”
“Ok bring the cat in and move your stuff into the Explorer, and I’ll take you. Just let me tell Orlando,” Kat said handing me the car keys.
“Ok thanks.” I went and moved the cat inside and my bags to their car and sat in the passenger’s side crying.
“Alli, it’ll be ok. You’ll be back soon I know you will. You and Lij can’t live without each other.” Kat said as she pulled out of the driveway
“I know but we had a fight.”
“You guys fight all the time.”
“Not like this. He told me to fuck off.,” I cried.
“Alli, it’s not that bad. Once you get to Greenville you’ll realize the only place you want to be is back in L.A., with Lij.”
“Whatever,” I said as we pulled up to the airport. I hopped out of the car and grabbed my bags.
She came around the car and hugged me, “I’ll miss you! Say hi to your parents for me.”
“I will,” I assured her as I walked into the airport and got a plane ticket back to South Carolina.

~*~Many hours later ~*~

I showed up at the door of my parent’s house. My mom opened it and said, “Allison! What a surprise!”
My dad came up and pulled me into a bone-crushing hug.
“Dad you’re squishing me!”
“Oh sorry sweetie it’s just we haven’t seen you in a year and it so good to have you here!”
“I’m glad to be home.”
“How long are you staying?” My mom asked.
“Maybe forever,” I replied.
“Why? Did something happen with that boyfriend of yours?” My dad asked, “See I told you boys are trouble!”
“Dad, its fine. We had just gotten engaged an-”
“Engaged! Honey that’s great!” My mom said.
“Mom let me finish! We had a huge fight last night and I broke it off this morning. I don’t want to talk about it anymore so don’t ask me questions. AND don’t try to find me any new boyfriends,” I said staring pointedly at my mother, “I’ll date when I’m ready to. Now if it’s ok with you guys I’d like to take a nap because those time changes always screw me over.”
I understand why they do, ya know? Fly from one side of the country to another and I just lost multiple hours in my day. So I went to and took a long nap. They woke me up at 6:30 to eat dinner but I wasn’t hungry so I rolled over and went back to sleep instead.
