Author's Note: I should be studying for my test tomorrow but I felt like I needed to write something. this was the end result. Enjoy.
Liz's POV
I never thought I would be jealous of Maria Deluca.
She's my bestfriend and I love her like a sister...it's just that in the eyes of our town I'll always come out on top.
She's always been Hurricane Deluca daughter of Wacky Amy while I'm Perfect Liz Parker.
She's my sidekick while I'm the center of attention.
She's always running on extremely loud while I'm respectable quiet
Hot. Cold.
Normal. Weird.
All American Sweetheart. Weird Bohemian Hippie.
And yet
She's loyal, honest, and has a smile that would light up a room.
Never turns her back on a friend in need, even when she REALLY wants too
She even got the great love story of our time
I've never seen two people more in love than Michael and Maria
Even though they fight and yell and scream hurtful words to each other
All it takes is one look for all those emotions to melt away and that's when you see their love for each other
Max used to look at me like that but all of our lies and betrayals have tainted what was once so beautiful
We'll never have that again
And this is why I am jealous of Maria Deluca
Max's POV
I never thought I would be jealous of Michael Guerin
He's my bestfriend, brother, second-in-comman
Sure we fight and yell but in the end I take care of him
I gave him shelter from Hank's fist
I keep him from running half-cocked and getting arrested
Or worse captured
Michael needs me
...or at least he used to
Now he has someone else to take care of him
To prevent him from making rash decisions
To keep him safe
Except she's better at it than I was
Because now Michael prevents himself from making rash decisions
He's providing his own shelter
He's doesn't need help
I was the one who was always the better son, student and human
Michael's now all that and more
And this is why I am jealous of Michael Guerin
Isabelle's POV
I never thought I would be jealous of Michael and Maria
They both knew what they wanted and even though it wasn't easy they survived
I still think about what would have happened if I went after Alex the same way
If I walked up to him one day at school and kissed him
Told him how much I cared about him and wanted to be with him
Of course I couldn't at the time
Not Ice Princess Isabelle...frozen to the bone
I was too damn scared of my own feelings to say 'I'm not sure what i'm feeling but we should give it a chance'
Instead I wasted days, a year...his lifetime
It took me until prom to realize that I loved Alex Whitman
It took a couple of days after that for me to lose him forever
If only I was impulsive and able to do what my gut told me, damn the consequences
Alex would be here with me
If only I was as loud and emotional free as Maria
Or impulsive and able to speak without speaking like Michael
Alex would still be here
And this is why I am jealous of Michael and Maria
Kyle's POV
I'm not jealous of Michael and Maria
Let's be real here folks:
She talks way too much, even for a chick
He's always angry and grunting
She's a drama Queen
He takes that 'rebel from the bad side of town' thing too literal
She hits
He watches too much hockey
Plus all they do is argue
True they have their Max and Liz moments
Except they would never be like Max and Liz so they're more Michael and Maria moments if anything
Sometimes I'll go to their room to hang to get away from the others and they'll both be lying in bed
Just lying next to each other
Sometimes if I listen real close I can hear her singing to him
Sometimes they're speaking really low and laughing together
No yelling, screaming or any of that drama
Just a guy and girl holding each other
Oh crap
Maybe I am jealous of Michael and Maria
Michael's POV
I used to be jeaous of Max, Liz, Isabelle, and Kyle
They were popular and well liked
They had families that loved and took care of each
All I had was Hank and even then I really only had myself
I used lay in bed at night and dream that I was found and adopted like Max
That I had a mom and dad
We would play basketball in our driveway and have family movie nights
Dad would discuss the birds and the bees with me, and take me to the ball park
While mom would cook my favourite meal and tell me I was still her little boy
Somewhere along the line I realized that that was only a fantasy and would never happen to me
So I continued to look for something better than Roswell, New Mexico
While dodging Hank's fist whenever I could
Then Max saved Liz and everything changed
I met Maria
She's kooky and weird
She doesn't mind telling me how much of a jerk I am
She doesn't take any of my shit
And I love her for it
She believes in me and takes care of me without expecting anything in return
Sure we've had our shares of ups and downs
Our break-ups and make-ups
But its the moments when we're simply together in each others arms that make me believe
Believe in our future and the fact that's it forever
This is why I'm no longer jealous
Maria's POV
I used to be jealous
Of Perfect Liz Parker
Of Gorgeous Isabelle Evans
Of Popular Kyle Valenti
Of Quiet and Smart Max Evans
They all had much more than I did growing up
My dad took off and then it was the just the two of us
Me and my mom
Taking care of each other
Then as I grew older it was me taking care of me
My mom had to work hard to keep a roof over our head
To keep food in our fridge
To keep clothes on our backs
The trade-off was that she was away a lot
No one really noticed that she wasn't really there
They only saw what they wanted to
Hurrican Deluca, loud in her hippie clothes
Bestfriends to that nice Liz Parker who was such a lady
Then Max healed Liz
And I suddenly had to start spending my time with his spiky haired and badly groomed friend
I know people say that love it this big magical moment where you see angels and there's music playing
For me it was simple
We went arguing about something stupid when all of a sudden I realized that he had beautiful eyes
That's all it took
We've been through it all and I still look into his eyes and feel like I'm falling in love all over again
He makes me mad but also makes me mad with lust
He makes me cry but he also makes me smile
Michael is mine and I am his
This is why I'm no longer jealous
The End
