Finding the Perfect Love

Chapter 1

~~Elizabeth Parker~~

*Five years ago*

"Thomas... I don't really want you to go... I might never see you again..."

"Oh Izzi! Don't worry so much! And I'm offended, you think I can't handle myself?" My only big brother gasped

"Thomas, I will miss you like crazy..." I said giving a hug to Thomas, never wanting this moment to end, because when it does he will be on that plane headed away from me... Way too far away from me...

"When I come back, I'll take you out to dinner... You will be the first to know I'm even home. I love you Izzi..." Thomas said kissing my forehead. "Promise you will write to me little sis?"

I gasped, "You want little 'ole me to write to you? That's an honor." I said hugging him tighter.

"Izzi you know you're the only one to get to me like you do. Anything you need, call, write, text, even Skype. Who cares, you get ahold of me okay? If I don't answer I'll call when I can.. I promise you, but I really have to go now." He sighed hugging me tighter. He seemed to not want this to end either.

I could no longer hold in my tears. The moment had come. My one and only big brother was going away leaving me here... Alone with only mom and Kelly...

"I going to miss you so much Thomas!!! I love you!" I hollered across the airport.

He just smiled and waved at me and took out his phone and typed something, then looked up at me, his eyes twinkling... My phone went off. As I pulled my IPhone, that I have only thanks to my brother, I saw the message.

-Remember Izzi, call or write.. I'm always here no matter what... I love you too sis, and I'll miss you most of all... <3

Love, Thomas, you big bubba..

I felt the tears leaking and Kelly gave me a hug that held me together only for the moment because when she let go, I burst into tears.

*Present Day*

"Elizabeth Parker, get your ass down stairs now!"

"What!" I yelled at Kelly.

Mother was out shopping with what little money we had. So, because mom was out, it was just me and the one and only Kelly.

"I know you miss him, but come on! You have to get packed for your move to France for three years!" Kelly's voice rang through the house.

That's right, five years later, on the same day Thomas left I was leaving for France, and I was still wishing my brother was home.

"Kelly, I... I don't want to today, I'm not in the mood..." I sighed.

As soon as that came out of my mouth Kelly was in my room and sitting on my bed.

"Liz, it's been rough, I know... You love him a lot.. But think, you pack to go to France today and you will be closer to him."

"I totally forgot!" I said jumping off my bed and running to the bathroom. As soon as the little white door opened I sprinted to the shower. As soon as that soothing shower was through I finished packing for my trip and called Alexandria.

'Hey Izzi!' The joyous voice on the other end chirps.

There was a tweak in my heart but I tried to ignore it, 'Alex please... Call me Liz, you know that Thomas calls me Izzi.'

'Oh yeah, sorry... Ready for the flight!?'

Alex was coming with me to study the fine art of cooking, IN FRANCE. I mean really? She is how I even have half the clothes I own, honestly. On my 17th birthday she took me and bought me 40 different outfits. She BOUGHT them.. for me. You know why she had to? Because my family is poor, hence why my brother is risking his very life to save every god damn person in this country. Damn you England.
