ooc: natalie/kristen
Okay, what is Natalie’s status re: Zachary Mills’ policeman booty? Does she still want a piece of that? Natalie’s love life confuses me. She’s got Will hanging off her left arm, James is giving her a back rub and she’s tailing Zach’s police car. Dayum girl!
This is honestly what happens when you’ve been rping one character since 2013 their life becomes an unbelievably confusing mess hahahha
Ok, so Will actually has feelings for Natalie’s sister, Valerie (whom he once dated), not Natalie, but the rest is correct hahahaha  Ok, ok.  So here it goes.  Gather ye round for the harrowing tale of Natalie Connors’ love life ;DDD
Back in high school, Natalie + siblings came careening into town and have lived in va beach ever since
Almost immediately she became adopted by the friend group including Zach Mills and Emily Bates
Natalie soon got to know the person who would become her first boyfriend, Max Monroe
Needless to say, that ended badly but in the mean time, she’d met Ian Porter through him and his sister
Natalie, Ian, Zach, and Emily were all best friends throughout high school
Eventually, Natalie and Ian started dating *cue romantic montage*
They were really in love with each other and honestly neither quite recovered from it fully but eventually it ended when Natalie couldn’t forgive Ian’s brother, Lex, for breaking Natalie’s sister, Valerie’s, heart (try saying that three times fast ;D)
Time passed and Natalie began to develop feelings for Zach
She never said anything though bc he almost instantly afterward got w Kristen and eventually married her
Zach asked both Emily and Natalie to be in the wedding so that was fun
At Zach’s wedding, Ian told Natalie that he was still in love with her and tipsy and lovelorn Natalie didn’t know how to react except to freak out
Ian left thinking Natalie was completely uninterested
Natalie saved up and eventually followed Ian to Europe when realized it was really Ian all along but when she went to his house, she saw his mother who (falsely) told Natalie that Ian was engaged to a rich girl named Sophia
Natalie returned home heartbroken and without even having seen Ian
Natalie decided to casually date atp and so when James Shaw from work asked her out, she agreed
It’s been about about a year, they’re still together, but Natalie still doesn’t realize how serious James is about her smdh
In summary, Natalie’s love life is a mess.  Her past loves include: Max Monroe, Ian Porter, and Zach Mills.  Her current romances include: Ian Porter and James Shaw.  So yeah idk if that actually makes things clearer or more confusing, but there it is????? hahahaha if that helps????  Let me know!  ;D
Jfc I will never NOT confuse Natalie and Valerie. I’m very grateful for that timeline, though, because my entire relationship with oceanfront has been trying to figure out wtf happened at Kristen and Zach’s wedding and what the Connors/Porter sibling love square thing was.Â
Long story short though: do you think these two wouldn’t really like each other? Especially now that Natalie knows Kristen was lying to Zach all this time!
