Part 1
Maria, Liz
and Alex were at the airport waiting for Liz's parents to come and pick them up
after their holiday to LA.
Liz looks
at her watch and then looked down the road for her parents. "God where are they? They're over 15 minutes late."
Maria
laughs, "Calm down Liz, they probably got the time wrong, they'll be here
soon."
Liz
sighs, "Yeah your right. I'm just really tired that's all. That flight too a lot out of me."
Alex hugs
Liz. "Don't worry, you'll get home
soon and get some rest." He looks
over at Maria and laughs, "But
then again it is your own fault for staying out partying until we had to leave
to catch our plane."
Liz
grimaces, "Don't remind me, that just added to make me more
tired." She looks over at Maria,
"I don't know how you can sit there looking all cheery, you did a lot more
partying than either of us did and you haven't been tired at all. Now, why is that?"
Maria
laughs, "That chica, is because I am used to partying all night, where as
you are not."
Alex laughs
and looks at Liz to see her expression but she is looking at the street at the
car that is approaching them. An Alex
squints to see the car and sees that it is a jeep and not just any jeep, Max
and Isabelle's jeep with Max and Michael in the car.
Liz has
also realized whose car it is and her face goes deadly white. Maria sees this and looks to see what has
upset her. When she sees what it is she
gets a look on her face. But the look
on her face isn't like the one on Liz's instead hers is a look of anger.
Michael and
Max pull up to the others and get out of the jeep.
Max looks
at Liz and smiles, he looks happy to see her again, but in his you can see the
sadness there.
Liz quickly
looks away from Max choosing to look at Michael instead. "How come you guys can to pick us
up? Where are my parents?"
Max looks
hurt as she said this.
Maria also
has something to say, "Yeah why
are you here? I thought that the
wonderful Tess wouldn't let you within 20 miles of us."
Michael
looks at Maria with an angry expression on his face. "You know Maria Mr. Parker asked us to do this because him
and Mrs. Parker were busy and I thought that you would be happy to see us. But no all you are is ungrateful."
Maria looks
shocked at first but then she gets angry,
"Ungrateful! You're calling
me ungrateful. After all we have done
for you guys that's what you have to say!" Maria's voice was getting louder with every word and people were beginning
to look at them. "You listen to me
Mr. we can't be together because it could be dangerous. I don't need you anymore and I don't think
that I'll even need you again in my life.
So you can take you hospitality and shove it because I am sick of your
shit!!" Maria's last words were
almost a shriek. With that said she
walked off to find a taxi.
Michael
looked angry but sad as well at Maria's words and watched her walk off to find
a cab.
Alex and
Liz watched Maria walk away with looked of shock on their faces. Alex turned to Max and said, "Sorry
about that I don't know what's wrong with her.
We'll actually I do but I didn't think that she would act that way."
"Yeah
I don't know what's wrong with her but I think that I should follow her to see
if she is okay." Liz said sounding
worried about her best friend.
Alex looked
at Liz and knew that one of the reasons that she wanted to follow Maria was
that she didn't want to get in a car with Max Evan's and have bad memories
re-surface.
Max looked
disappointed and tried to get Liz to change her mind. "Are you sure Liz, Alex could go after Maria and you could
come in the car with us."
Liz looked
at Max and then looked quickly away again.
"No I think I should go.
Something is going on with her and I want to find out what it is."
Max looked
sad but let Liz go hopping that he could find out how Liz was going through
Alex.
Alex looked
after Liz as she walked away then turned around and looked at Max and Michael,
"Well are we ready to go?"
Max and Michael
stopped staring at the direction that Liz and Maria had gone in and looked at
Alex.
"Yeah
lets get going." Max said getting
Alex's bags and putting them into the jeep.
*********
(On the
other side of the road)
"Yes
sir, the two girls just walked off and the boys are getting in the jeep. Which ones do you want me to
follow?" A man in a suit is
talking into the phone.
A deep
voice on the other line says, "Follow the girls but don't do anything just
yet. We'll get them when they are all
together."
"Yes
sir," The man says and hangs up the phone.
