Authors notes: Ok i hope you like this story! and NO Maria and Michael are not like brother and sisters! they see each other as "family" but not in a brother and sis sort of way just like they have to look out for each other... had to clear that up.. so with that said please read and review it
Summary: What would have happened if Maria's parents abandoned her as a kid and it wasn't only her dad that left? What happened when she meets a certain spiky haired boy? What would Michael have been like if he hadn't been alone growing up?
~*~*~*~
"Maria." I heard Michael whisper.
"Huh what?" I asked wiping my eyes as I willed myself to sit up.
"You have to get ready for school." Michael stated with a soft voice.
"Why it's not like you're going!" I said.
"Maria!" he said a bit more forcefully.
"Why should I have to go?"
"Because one of us has to. Hank will be pissed if he comes home to find us here and I'd rather have him find me then you." Michael said looking into my eyes. Sometimes I felt as if I was going to drown in his eyes.
"Fine!" I practically yelled.
"Go take a shower."
"Ok DAD." I said getting off the bed to go into our very cramped bathroom.
"I'm not your dad!" He spat out we were giving each other intense stares. 'Michael's all I have in this world I don't even want to think what life would have been like for me if I wouldn't have been put into foster care with him.'
"Thank god for that you might be worse then Hank." I said but I instantly regretted that when I saw the look that came over him.
"Michael I'm sorry." I said placing my hand on his back. "I didn't mean it."
"It's ok." He said moving his eyes up to mine the intensity and passion in this moment felt like it'd make me burn up but I knew Michael didn't care for me like that.
"I'll never say anything like that again." I said softly but I knew all I could do is just keep on rubbing his back.
"Really its ok just go take a shower and I'll call Iz to come get you."
"I'd rather walk." I said truthfully.
"Why?" Michael asked me for about the thousandth time.
"Michael nothing personal I know they're you know like you and all but I am not taking their pity just because you guys are the same. Their your friends not mine." I stated I swear he tries to push Isabel and me together he just needed to face it we are different and by that I don't mean different species.
"But Maria you don't make any friends."
"And you do?"
"I have friends Max, Isabel, Liz, Alex, Kyle."
"Yeah but you're not close to them you don't let them see the real you."
"Maria what I do isn't what you have to do."
"But I learned it from you." I said staring at him.
"Learned what?"
"Don't get attached."
"But Maria you're gonna have a life you don't have to worry about all the things I do." Michael said trying to comfort me. He was always trying to help me.
'Yeah but what is a life for me without you?' I wanted to say but I knew I just couldn't it would make it worse for both of us.
"I know." I said quietly he was right I needed to become friendlier with Max and Isabel and the rest of his "friends" but I didn't see the point. They knew the secret that Michael had shared with me all those years ago so what do they want a medal now?
"Fine you can walk!" Michael said getting angry with me. So I just got up and went into the bathroom to take that shower I knew he'd be gone by the time I got out so it didn't really matter.
