One of these days
It was an early morning when Liz Parker returned home from her vacation in Florida. The sun started to burn, what she wouldn't give for a nice fresh breeze. Taking a deep breath, she grabbed her suitcase out of the trunk and made her way inside, walking up the stairs to her bedroom. Putting down her suitcase, she took a seat on her bed, looking back at why she had left in the first place.
Now only a faint memory, Liz could still feel the pain and heartache that tug at her heart. How she struggled to breath, as if she was suffocating. The feeling and taste of her salty tears, that had run down her cheeks, as she slowly walked away from him.
Liz shock her head, to clear her mind and stepped on to the balcony. Slowly taking deep breaths as she enjoyed the gentle breeze in the shade. Leaning back against the brick wall, listening to the soft wind gazing trough the trees.
Michael arrived at the Crashdown early. As he took off his helmet, he spotted Liz standing up on her bedroom balcony. She seemed to be lost deep in thoughts, peaceful even. He had to admit he envied her. Realizing that he was staring at her, he shrugged is shoulders and got of his bike.
A few hours later, Michael's thoughts drifted back to Liz. Glancing at the clock, he notice that she hadn't been down once. Normally he wouldn't pay things like that any thought of mind, but something about her earlier seemed different. Wondering if the time she spend away from Roswell was actually a good thing. If so he definitely needed to get away as well.
After what happened with Pierce and their destinies being revealed, Michael felt cramped, like the air was being sucked out. Maria wanted him to screw destiny so they could get back together. Isabel pretty much felt the same way, she didn't give a damn. Max constantly nagged at him for killing Pierce and Tess, well Tess was actually the only one he could stand to be around these days. Michael was so lost in his thoughts, that he didn't even notice where he was, that was until Liz acknowledge him.
Sunbeams were warming her face, closing her eyes, Liz laid-back against the brick wall, letting it cool her skin. The noises from below the street quietly faded into the background, leaving her alone with her thoughts.
Liz was somewhere between thoughts and half-asleep, as she felt another presences besides her. Not in the mood to open her eyes, she just ignored whoever came out here. That however didn't lasted long as a sudden panic overcame her, that it might be one of two people she was trying to avoid. She was definitely not ready to see either one of them yet. Slowly Liz opened one eye to see who it was while silently praying.
"Michael?" she acknowledge him.
"Parker." he sounded surprised like he just realizing where he was.
"What are you doing here?"
"I have no idea."
"One of those days huh?"
"Yeah."
Standing side by side, savoring the silence. Neither Liz nor Michael felt the need to talk. It was nearing noon time and the sun shone bright, luckily the air wasn't as dry as in the morning. Still Liz had the feeling she was getting hot. The sudden feeling of being near him, awoke a strange desire inside of her. It only lasted a flickering, but she knew it was there. Unknown to her Michael had a similar experience. She needed to clear her mind, so Liz broke the silence between them.
"So what's new."
"Still the same."
"Wouldn't know."
"How come?"
"Haven't talked to anyone since. Not that I would want too y'know."
"Yeah."
"What about you?"
"Same, I suppose."
"Cool. Can I asked?"
"Asked what?"
"How did you know?"
It took Michael a sec before he realized what she was asking. He couldn't help the smirk that was hugging his lips, before answering her question. He did however notice the concern in her voice.
"Saw you up here, when I came to work."
Liz sigh in relief. She knew instantly he hadn't told anyone she was up here. Thank god. She was really in no mood to talk or run into them. But it did made her wonder why he come up here. Liz decided not to press him on that matter. Much like her, Liz could sense he was in no mood for questioning.
"Just don't tell anyone!?"
It was more a statement than a question, but Michael understood perfectly.
"So how was it?"
Ah there it was. So that's what he was wondering about. Being away from here, from everyone. Liz tried to explain it in a way that wouldn't sound like she was telling him her life story. It's not like they had ever talked this much.
"Strange. I was an emotional wreck, but I had a lot of time to myself. Without the constant nagging voice of Maria or Max in my ear."
Must be nice. Michael tought silently.
The old Liz would have immediately regretted the way she spoke of them, but not the new Liz. Michael noticed that as she continued and was somehow impressed with her.
"To be completely honest it was amazing. For the first time I felt relieved, free, like I could breath again. No looking over my shoulder. I could talk to whom ever I wanted without worrying about what I say. Now that I'm back, I miss it."
Michael felt if as he could literally feel every emotion that came from her.
"Should of hitch a ride with ya."
"That bad huh?" Liz mocked smiling. Michael couldn't help but to smile in return. Maybe things won't be so bad in the end.
To Liz's surprise they had talked some more. Or more like Michael told her some stuff, not much tho, after all he was still Michael. At some point they had fallen into comfortable silence once again. Until they parted ways, but all in all the day didn't turned out half as bad as she expected.
A chill ran through her body, making her shiver. Realizing she had been up here for hours, she climbed back into her bedroom. She was about to unpack, when her stomach started growling. Accepting that she forgot to eat, Liz groaned in defeat, suitcase forgotten.
"Liz, there you are."
"Hi dad."
"I was about to check on you. You hungry?"
"Starving."
"Go sit. I fix you some leftovers."
"Thanks dad."
After talking with her dad and satisfying her hunger, Liz returned to her room. She needed to unpack that darn suitcase. Looking back at the day, a smile sneaked upon her lips.
It was just one of these days.
Please review.
Autor Note: Some of you may know my old work knows as "A Polar Unknown". I tried rewriting the story but that didn't worked out and just seemed wrong to me in the end. So I'm doing a complete do-over. You will, if you know the old story, recognize some stuff in the first 4 chapters maybe but the rest is completely new. I really hope you will give this story a chance and review. Thank you.
