1 Complicated

This is a Michael/Maria story and it's what I wanted to happen after Michael told Maria he'd always love her in the series finale. I made it a little sappy so bear with me. I don't own anything to do with Roswell and I don't own the song 'Complicated'. It's by Avril Lavigne. Feedback would be wonderful!



Maria walked across her front lawn to where Michael was.

"I thought you were leaving" She said to him.

"I am. But I just wanted…I don't know.

"Say good bye?"

"I just wanted to say that this whole thing has been screwed up since the beginning. You and Me. Us. Just the whole long stupid story.

"Thanks." Maria said sarcastically

"But I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's meant so much to me, you know? From day one, from the moment that I kidnapped you and stole your car. I knew that you were the girl for me. I never wanted anyone else.

"Michael…"

"I still don't. Just...wherever I'm going, whatever I'm doing, just know I'll always love you." Michael put on his helmet and revved up his motorcycle.

"Wait-no wait." Maria said frantically. "You-you can't cay that and then-"

Maria watched in disbelief as Michael roared away. Her face instantly lit up as Michael did a u-turn and pulled up beside her.

"Forget something?" She asked.

"Yeah, this" He said as he kissed her. He kissed her with all the love and all the passion he had inside of him. He slowly pulled away and took in every detail of her. He kissed her one last time on her forehead before putting on his helmet and driving away.

Maria watched as he got smaller and smaller until she couldn't see him anymore. A single tear ran down her cheek.

"Why do you have this effect on me?"

Maria walked into her room and collapsed on her bed. She picked up the pen and pad of paper that lay beside her and began to do the only thing that made her feel better. She began writing a song.

"I like you the way you are

When we're driving in my car

And you're talking to me

One on one"

Maria thought for a second. Why did Michael have to be so cool when other people where around. Why couldn't he just be the Michael that she knew and loved?

"But you become

Somebody else

'Round everyone else

Watchin' your back

Like you can't relax

You're tryin' to be cool

You look like a fool

To me"

And that kiss! What was with the kiss? It was hard enough knowing that she would probably never see him again but then he had to complicate everything by telling her that he would always love her.

"Tell me

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?

I see the way you're

Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated

Life's like this, you

And you fall and you crawl

And you break and you take

What you get and you turn it into

Honesty Promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it

No, no, no"

Maria sat in her room for another hour just writing. When she was done, she read over the final product and smiled.

"Chill out,

What you yellin' for?

Lay back, it's all been done before

And if you could only let it be

You will see

I like you the way you are

When we're, driving in my car

And you're talking to me

One on one

But you become

Somebody else

'Round everyone else

Watchin' your back

Like you can't relax

You're tryin' to be cool

You look like a fool

To me

Tell me

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?

I see the way you're

Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated

Life's like this, you

And you fall and you crawl

And you break and you take

What you get and you turn it into

Honesty Promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it

No, no, no

You come over unannounced

Dressed up like you're something else

Where you are and

Where you sat, you see

You're making me

Laugh out

When you strike a pose

Take off all your preppy clothes

You know

You're not fooling anyone

When you become

Somebody else

'Round everyone else

Watchin' your back

Like you can't relax

Tryin' to be cool

You look like a fool

To me

Tell me

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?

I see the way you're

Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated

Life's like this, you

And you fall and you crawl

And you break and you take

What you get and you turn it into

Honesty Promise me

I'm never gonna find you fake it

No, no, no...

Chill out,

What you yellin' for?

Lay back, it's all been done before

And if you could let it be

You will see

Somebody else

'Round everyone else

You're watchin' your back

Like you can't relax

You're tryin' to be cool

You look like a fool

To me, to me

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?

I see the way you're

Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated

Life's like this, you

And you fall and you crawl

And you break and you take

What you get and you turn it into

Honesty Promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it

No, no

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?

I see the way you're

Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated

Life's like this, you

And you fall and you crawl

And you break and you take

What you get and you turn it into

Honesty Promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it"

Now if she could only tell Michael how she felt.

The End
