Ava the Queen
by ZenPotter
Max was struggling to breath, he had to calm himself and take a deep breath. He was angry and he wanted to hurt someone, kill someone. Tess had really done a number on him, that's for sure, he thought with a smile. He thought she was obsessed with him but now the tides where begginning to turn. A week had passed since the last time he saw her and he had to surpress the feeling of hatred that arose each time she came in his mind. Not that it made a difference, something would magicall break however materials where not the only things breaking apart. Ever since Liz bust in the cave and told them what Tess did, things had changed for both of them as well. He hadn't really talked to her about anything really, infact he really hadn't talked to her at all. And then there was Isabel and Michael. He was avoiding them as well, he really hadn't talked to them as well. But he really could not stop thinking about Tess and her bad guy rap. Not that she really had anything to work with, they all suspected that she always had ulterior motives. And Now he knew what there were.
Max had never felted betrayed, even when he had found out about Valendra, nothing prepared him for this can't of pain. Because even though he had not actually said the words, he had loved Tess. That's why he was okay with sleeping with her that night because he loved her. But she killed Alex, Alex of all people. She had admitted the truth to him and he didn't understand how he could have loved someone like that. Max raised from his bed as a small glass shuttered from his desk to the floor breaking into a thousand of pieces. He ignored the glass as he began to pace from one side of the room to the other, thinking of Tess and what to do next. He knew what he should do, find out everything about Tess and Ava. It's time for him to stop thinking only of himself. Time for Max to be a good leader, brother, boyfriend, friend and more importantly father. He had to find his son.
Find his son and get her away from that murderous bitch!
Liz began her rounds as ussually at the crashdown trying to not to get distracted, however it was easier said than done. Alex was dead, her friend of sixteen years was died all because of Tess. All because of Tess, she wanted to take Max away from her and go home.
Home.
This was Max's home and thank go she was able to destroy her plans by showing everyone the truth about that slut. Now thank the heavens that she had Max. She had him, she was almost sure of it. But then again, she was worried that Tess had gotten what she wanted, that she had won a part of Max's heart along the way. Liz tucked a small wave of her hair over her ear, forcing a smile as she strode to customers and placing their orders on the table. Max was distancing himself from her, that she was sure for. She was so scared about what that could mean. This was all Tess's fault, she was angry at that little witch for all the pain she caused to all her friends. With all that destiny crap.
"Liz" She turned to look at her best friend Maria, Michael's girlfriend. Maria was wearing that concerned expression. Maria was not stupid, that look Liz had on could only mean one thing, Liz was thinking about Max. Sometimes she wondered how this became their lives, how Max and Michael had turned their lives upside down. She strode over to Liz, "Are you okay?"
"yeah" She said with a small smile, just trying to not worry Maria, "Just tired, you know"
"Sure" Maria said not looking convienced but decided to let it go, for now, she had important imformation, "Max Just called"
Immediately, Liz froze thinking about Max and the fact that he called. Max had called, for her. He was thinking about her, maybe things were getting back to normal. Liz smile widerned joyously. Maria saw her friend light up and immediately regretted not just spilling the news at once.
"He wants to have a meeting here tonight" Maria said quitely turning to walkk back in the kitchen.
"Okay, did he...huh...ask about me?" Liz asked silently following Maria.
Maria stopped and looked at Liz, "Yes, he wanted to ask you to be here when he joins us, tonight"
