Description
Liz walked up to her apartment with Anna Lee and was stunned when she opened the door, but then her face softened and she merely shut the door. "Wasn't that your boyfriend..?" Anna Lee asked, her dark eyes wide as she looked from the door to her friend. But Liz was already turning to go."I'm sorry Anna Lee, it looks like we're going to have to postpone the tea party." She called with a forced smile and tried to choke down her emotions. But they're so close to the surface... it won't be long before she explodes. The Japanese girl just hurried after her, seemingly undeterred.
"What are you going to do tonight? I know you're not going back there." She said in a hushed tone as if they could overhear her when the two girls have already walked down the staircase and are heading back to town.
"I'll go by the bar and maybe crash with Annie and Jake. Just go home, I want to be alone." Liz added and glared before finally Anna Lee left Elizabeth to walk the darkened streets by herself. It's fine... this has happened five times now and really... she's done. This is her fifth boyfriend that's turned out to be gay. He's also the second to cheat on her. The cheating is easier than the rejection of being told face to face that he's gay so it can't work. Really... is it so much to ask that she attracts a nice straight guy? He doesn't even have to be nice at this point! He doesn't have to be good looking either! Just a straight guy to be with for the rest of her life... she just can't handle this...
When Zack told her that he's gay too, it was probably the worst. Not because they were dating. No, Liz and Zack never dated, but it was because he's her knight in shining armor. He protected her and helped her get through each of her boyfriends who turned out to be a gay bastard who just randomly decided to go out with a chick. It's ridiculous how she's never managed to date a straight guy... not once. It's almost like a curse. Walking up to a nearby pole she wrapped her small fingers around the cold metal and began to twirl in circles, looking up at the stars in disdain. Her brown hair got in her eyes but she pushed it to the side. This guy said that her hair reminds him of caramel... and he wanted to eat it all up. Apparently it was another lie said by a man who just wanted to pretend to be straight to his family and friends. She honestly doubts he even noticed her walk in on him with how occupied he was with his mouth on some other guy's cock.
She stopped twirling then and crossed her arms, allowing her soft trench coat to feel like a shield to the outside world. It wasn't a long walk to the bar, and really, none of the gangs in this area bother to come out this time of night. Too likely that Zack, Cree, and Ange will get to them. Those guys are good at taking out the trash in town...
When she got to the bar she walked in and ordered a shot, she didn't even look to see what kind he wound up getting her before downing it and asking for another. That's when she noticed a young couple in the corner eyeing her. "What do you two want?" Liz demanded and took off her coat in case she has a fight on her hands. Some people recognize her from the pictures on the wall of this place... they recognize her and look for a fight to see if she's as tough as they say. Sure, she's no match for Zack and his gang but she's pretty tough and sure as hell beats the losers Zack is currently associating himself with. She can take these suckers down if they want to fight.
"We were just discussing how upset you look and how we might want to cheer you up." The man said making her notice his ice blue eyes. They're kind of like Zack's...
"If you want to comfort me then you must be gay because I only attract the gay men." Liz spat, feeling a little lightheaded. She hadn't even felt the drink go down... what the hell did he put in there?
"Well since my girlfriend and I are looking for a threesome right now, I can assure you that I'm not gay." He continued making Liz pause, her eyes stinging as she walked over to them. Leaning down she took in a deep breath then smirked.
"I'm in." The words came out strong. Thank God.
Getting to the couple's apartment was a blur but as soon as they got into the bedroom they all began to strip slowly, no one looking at anyone. "So how many boyfriends turn out to be gay?" The girl asked conversationally, her hair a dark brown and eyes an innocent hazel.
"Five... so every guy I've ever dated and wound up having a serious relationship. Then there was also my long time crush." Liz said blankly, knowing that this isn't the way it goes. They aren't supposed to get to know each other, they aren't supposed to play twenty questions, all that they're here for is the sex.
"Well... lucky for you, you'll be in good hands." The man smiled and began applying the lube.
"Why don't you just become gay yourself? You're certainly hot enough." Now this girl must be leaning a little too heavily on girls if the way she's looking at Liz is anything to judge, but the woman just shook her head.
"I used to be a romantic... I wanted a prince or a knight, wasn't really picky on which, but I wanted one of them to save me from my life. Now I just want someone straight."
"I told you... you're in good hands."
The rest of it was a blur, but Liz felt satisfied with the noises the two made under her touch. She is so cold right now as she goes through the motions of making love without touching it in the slightest. Love is out of reach and hard to find, it doesn't belong in a threesome in the dark. They're loud though... in sex they both shout out their appreciation, which makes no sense to Liz. She's always quietly smiles or gasped, never really voicing herself.
When it ended... it ended. The couple curled up together and invited Liz to come by whenever she wants, she could hear the lie in their voices. So she put on her clothes, checked herself in the mirror then began to head out.
It took her a while to realize she was in front of the closed bar but it didn't take her long to see Zack heading her way. He smiled when he saw her, those ice blue eyes shining with tears. "He cheated on me! Six years we've fucking been together and he fucking cheated on me for five!" He shouted and punched the bar wall. Liz stared at him with wide eyes then smirked, feeling better than before.
"So we screw the world, beat it until its blood has stained our hands then we keep going and keep fighting and keep screwing the world." She said with a wave of her hand then cracked her knuckles. "For me that starts with beating the shit out of my latest gay boyfriend."
She walked home feeling bigger than the sound of her broken heart, but Zack smiled after her, and she knows how disgusting she is for what she did. But... it hurts. And she's going to have to deal with the fact that she may never meet a straight guy who's interested in her.
So much for princes and knights.

So sad - so dead. The poor girl. You really made me feel for her.

Ah yes... Liz is probably the saddest girl I have that's not a main character. She's merely the side character but she's the only one in that book that fully understands the main character. She always felt that she and Zack would be together, ever since they were little. But then he came out of the closet and it ruined her. So she looks for him without realizing it... and she certainly finds one part of him in everyone.
If you want I can send you the epilogue of my third book. It's got Zack and Liz as kids and I think it's kind of cute, along with being a good ending to the book. Oh! Delete the email of that book I sent because the file is messed up! Some edits were done to it that'll make it too hard to read.

I don't understand why Liz would let the fact that one guy who she loved who turned out to be gay, ruin her life. Why would she then lack self esteem to this point? Were there other factors involved?

It was five guys she went out with who turned out gay, the trend started when the love of her life (she and he never dated) came out of the closet. It's harsh. I know what it's like loving someone and then finding out they can never return your love because of your gender, and for it to happen so many times. She's not just sad, she's pissed.
Plus her best friend dies soon after this (technically she should have died before but I forgot...) and the second love of her life cheated on her with a man. Plus she left her hometown she grew up in to prove herself to the world and had to leave her best friends behind. She hasn't had the happiest life but it's not the worst either.

Oh God - we all love somebody or somebodies who don't love us back & while we find it hard to get over, we don't all turn into this, so why should she? Okay - her best friend died - it happens. A lot of us have left our hometown & others leave their countries. She didn't even date the "love of her life" or screw him, either!! I have now lost the little bit of sympathy that I had for this person, unless in some way she develops some hitherto unshown strength of character and grit. What is the use in her even living (let alone being written about) if she's like this?? Maybe these people really are spirits who are coming to you to have their stories told because nobody else will care about them or like them, like you do?
Also, I'm very sorry if I sound harsh, but this girl has by no means lived anywhere near what I think is a hard life, according to what you've told me. She sounds rankly self-pitying and distasteful. I've known people who have suffered worse things than these & are still trying to be better & who are living - as opposed to merely existing. I'm not talking about myself either, and again - I'm sorry if this is offensive.

I still like her. Mostly because this isn't what she's focused on whenever she's really in a piece. This is mostly her background. Mostly she kicks people into gear. In my book Lies Are Entertainment (no business people!) she shows up, they talk about the past, and she gets pissed off at him and tells him to move on while she goes around visiting her old life and trying to help her friend Dean cope with his dead ex-girlfriend. She doesn't whine and complain about the past. She just moves on, because there's nothing more you can do. I don't think she came off whiny in this story. I really don't. I think she wanted some comfort, was a little pissed, and needed to get out. Her life... she's not one of my worst characters, not in the slightest, when it comes to this. Vira had it worse along with Eternal, and damn, even Bellatrix Fillian had it pretty damn bad.
Liz? She's not as bad as all that. I pity Liz on the romantic aspect, but not really. I don't pity my characters much. The people I pity are the ones I can't write.

You are one hell of a good person!! I hope to God that the people around you appreciate you for the incredible marvel that you are. You are rare & unique - & I mean that honestly & in the best way possible. How the hell have you managed to be so together??

Thank you so much for the compliment... what spurred this on? (can't reply to too much today, a little too lightheaded and stressed but I wanted to be sure you knew that I'm still on speaking terms and I'm not upset)

I'm way over-stressed tonight & I thought that I'd been hyper-critical with you & that anybody would be offended with what I'd written. Then, to get your reasonable response was really amazing.
I meant what I wrote with that comment. You are a remarkable person.
