Name of story?
same results with "Allison" in the description...my tolerance level is very low today so I ain't gonna say no more!
Are you certain of the name? Might it perhaps be Alice?
If so there are two stories that come to mind; or rather one story with two endings. Both are by Denham Forrest.
The big limousine disappeared and: -
The Climbing Tree.
These are inspired by the song "Living next door to Alice."
These are inspired by the song "Living next door to Alice."
Alice? Who the the fuck is Alice?
Or am I the only one who's heard of that one?
Or there's also Kevin Bloody Wilson's "living next door to Alan"
Alice? Who the the fuck is Alice?
I thought that one was perpetrated by a DJ, one from either Austria or Germany.
The other variation I heard back then was "Alice, Alice, I'm fucking Alice" and that was a DJ in an Austrian Ski resort.
Maybe "Alison Found" by Andyhm, or the retelling from her perspective. Brit kids separated by her parents divorce: she's a Hollywood actress: something about an abduction and rescue by boat.

Is it possible you're thinking of "The Millionaire Next Door" (2007) by Lazlo Zalezac? Alison isn't literally the girl next door, but she went to high school with the protagonist and never knew him until after graduation.

She knew him at HS, but avoided him because of his reputation as the class dummy and the hit her social standing would have taken if she had been associated with him. As an aside, it was only when she got to know him better - after graduation, leaving a cinema - that she realised there was much more to him than she had imagined.
I gave this story to my kids (16,17) as an example of always pressing foreward, you have no limits if you don't limit yourself, really wish he had expanded on the articles
I wanted to talk to him about the articles because I thought there were flaws in the basic setup/premise. The way people perceive the future, to the way they think CHANGES over time. So what a teenager thinks is DIFFERENT than a mid twenties to forties to sixties think. Goals change. The brain changes.
Having said that, even with the problems I had with his assumptions, Millionaire Next Door is still one of my top five stories.
