It all started in a little town called Lakeview, a peaceful place where everything used to be normal, until a day a guy died, his name was Elliot Morgan.
The last day he was seen, he was by the lake with his sister, Olivia, she said that they had gone fishing that day and he fell in the water, but nobody, apart of their family, believed her. Olivia always envied her brother, because she felt like if their parents only loved Elliot, but they didn’t.
It was said that Olivia had killed her brother in order to come into the entire inheritance. Also, people thought that Elliot was murdered by his sister because his body was never found, and they assumed that Olivia had hidden it.
The Morgans had lost the hope of seeing Elliot again… So, one day, the man from the grocery store said that he had seen someone very much like Elliot in another side of the country.
Olivia was amazed, not because her brother was alive, since she knew it, was because they made up Elliot’s death, actually, so that he could escape with Tina, the girl Elliot had felt in love, but his parents didn’t like her, because she wasn’t “the perfect woman they had dreamed for their son”, Olivia didn’t like Tina neither, but she agreed because she thought that all the attention and love from her parents, would be on her after her “brother’s death”.
Olivia called Eliot to tell him about what was happening in Lakeview, and that the police was looking for him around the country, Elliot answered saying he was sorry and wanted to go back and face his parents.
When Mr. and Mrs. Morgan saw Elliot again, they were shocked…
He explained what had happened and that he was very sorry for what he did, but his parents told him that the only important thing in that moment was that he was alive, and they apologized for saying things about Tina, since that moment they realized that they had to left Elliot being happy with the girl he loved.
Olivia was sorry too, and told her parents why she did it, they said to her that they loved them the same, because they were their children, and both deserved the same love.
To make the long story short, Olivia got into college, and Elliot and Tina got married.
