Thanks.
"Hey." Michael shouted to his girlfriend Maria, who was gliding down the hallway towards him.
"Hey yourself. So listen Michael I've got a favour to ask you." Maria said speaking at an extremely fast speed. Michael sighed out loud suddenly realising his girlfriend couldn't have been that cheery towards him all morning for nothing.
"Listen buster I don't know why your complaining for this could benefit you." She said giving him a devilish grin. Michael eyed her back suspiciously but he could feel a small smile forming on his lips.
"Hum, I like the sound of that. So what is it." He asked suspiciously raising an eyebrow.
"Well, my mom's going to some oldies rock concert tonight with Jim and I don't wanna stay in the house by myself, so could I stay at your place." She asked in a coy voice intertwining her fingers with his.
"Why don't I just stay at yours, it'll be easier for you right." Michael suggested, but Maria looked up at him from under her eyelashes in an embarrassed way, which kind of surprised Michael, as he'd never seen his girlfriend embarrassed or shy.
"Well I kind of like it at yours. It's so YOU, and it's really comforting." She confessed playing with her nails. She was expecting Michael to come out with some comment, but he didn't. Instead he kissed her or the cheek.
"Course you can, but you know, it better be benefiting me." He informed her walking away but still looking at her, and then he turned and ran calling after Max who's just walked by. Maria smiled a cheeky smile and commented on how much she loved to get to Michael and went off in search of Liz.
Liz was pulling out numerous heavy textbooks from her locker when her best friend found her. Maria opened her mouth to speak when Liz cut her short.
"So Maria listen. My parents are going out of town tonight to some rock concert a few towns away, so I was thinking maybe we should go out and have some fun." Liz exclaimed.
"Oh Liz couldn't you have asked sooner. My mums going with Jim aswell. So I already asked Michael if I could stay at his. You know I'd normally cancel and go with you right, but we haven't spent much time together lately." Maria replied regretfully.
"I know it's okay. So, I take it you were about to ask if I can take your shift tonight so you can go over there. Am I right." Liz chipped in. Maria smiled at her friend sweetly and hugged her.
"Oh thank you Liz. You're the best friend EVER. I'll do the same for you when you wanna go out with Max." Maria rushed as the bell rang and Liz hurried off to her next lesson.
Michael swung open the front door of his apartment and was bounded on by his little pixie girlfriend knocking him backwards, tripping over a bag sending them both crashing to the floor laughing and kissing. Michael pulled himself up and hauled Maria with him. He shut the door behind him and went over the settee.
"Where's your stuff." He asked.
"Well I got my toothbrush in my pocket and hairbrush in my handbag." She replied patting the tiny bag over her arm.
"What about you other stuff. Don't you like need more than that, and why did you bring a hairbrush but no clothes." He quizzed confused.
"Well first of all I wasn't sure if you owned a hairbrush." She replied pointing at his scraggly hair, which Michael patted proudly as Maria continued. " Second of all, I figured I could wear one of your t - shirts to bed, then I'll wear these clothes home in the morning." Michael frowned unsure of the last comment.
"Excuse me, my t - shirts are not meant to be worn to bed." He argued. Maria raised her eyebrow and sniffed.
"Whatever Michael, we'll see." She replied. Michael stood to his feet surprised she wasn't fighting back.
"Ok, the fact that you're not arguing back at me is kind of freaking me out."
"That was my plan. So you wanna continue what we started." She suggested grinning at him and he smiled back with a boyish grin and the two started making out again.
Michael was awoken from his deep sleep with a ringing in his ears. He glanced down at Maria who was resting her head and hand on his chest, she was still fast asleep and he gently shifted her to reach for the phone silently cursing it. He picked up the receiver giving the person on the other end a groggy hello.
"Michael, its Max, is Maria there." Max asked in a frightened tone.
"Yeah, why?" He asked suspiciously sitting upright in bed.
" I need you to get her to the hospital NOW." He demanded.
"What, Max why, what is it. What's the matter." Michael exclaimed practically shouting down the phone. He was getting increasingly agitated. He noticed Maria stir in the corner of his eye and he shook her arm to make her fully wake up.
"It's Liz, she's been . . . She's been attacked Michael. She won' let me see her. The nurses said she keeps asking for Maria." Max explained his voice faltering.
"We'll be right there Max." Michael insisted slamming down the phone and turning to a sleepy Maria who was rubbing her eyes.
"Michael what is." She asked concerned at the look of panic in his eyes.
"Maria we need to get to the hospital. It's Liz."
"What, Michael what's happened." Maria demanded jumping out of the bed frantically searching around for her jeans.
"I don't really know. Max just said she's been attacked and she's asking for you." Michael answered throwing on a t- shirt and some jeans. In a matter of seconds the two teenagers had darted out of the house and into Maria's Jetta speeding off to the hospital.
"Max." Maria exclaimed as she walked through the reception and saw Max pacing the floor. He turned around and swung his arms around her.
"She won't talk to me Maria. I went in and she just freaked out. She only wants to talk to you." He explained letting the petite blonde go.
"Call her parents. Where's her room." She instructed. Max pointed it out and Maria followed whilst Max went off in search of a pay phone. Michael slumped into an uncomfortable plastic chair and a feeling of unease washed over him.
Maria rushed into Liz's room and grabbed a hold of her fragile friend enveloping her in a hug.
"It's okay Liz, I'm here." Maria soothed perching herself on the end of her crying friend's bed.
"What happened babe." Maria questioned.
"It was awful Maria. He forced his way in as I was trying to close the restaurant." Liz informed her between sobs.
"It's okay, you don't have to talk about it know if you don't want to." Maria insisted.
"No I want to." Liz replied her voice faltering.
"He had a gun. He pushed me towards the counter and took the takings first. Then he . . . he, he pushed me over to one of the counters, at first he was just punching me, then, then he forced himself on me." Liz explained in between gasps of air then as she mentioned the final part she collapsed into a flood of tears but mumbled something, which Maria couldn't quite make out.
"What, what did you say." She asked warily.
"I said, he wasn't human, he was an alien Maria."
"Hey." Michael shouted to his girlfriend Maria, who was gliding down the hallway towards him.
"Hey yourself. So listen Michael I've got a favour to ask you." Maria said speaking at an extremely fast speed. Michael sighed out loud suddenly realising his girlfriend couldn't have been that cheery towards him all morning for nothing.
