"I want you to see me"
Those words uttered by Michael a few Hours ago were some of the best words Maria had herd him say to her. Michael had always hid him self form everyone. It was really hard to know him. He was like a rock hard to move hard to know but always there. Or at lest Maria thought that when those words spilled of his tounge. But Maria had always thought she knew Michael. Well at lest better then anyone else. But all she knew was what Michel told her. He was perfect to her this year he was he shield, her strength, and her shoulder to cry on. But he was always there for her he knew her almost inside out. But she knew so little about him.
Maria Never knew how he got to Roswell. How his adopted dad found him. What did Michael do after he got out of the pod? How did his Adopted dad treat him before he started abusing him? Did his Adopted dad ever love him? Did he have any friends other then Max and Isabel. How did he grow up? Why did he never let anyone close? And Why did he care for her, these were just some of the things Maria wanted to know about Michael. How was she to know that all this would be answered in just a few minutes...?
"Take My Hands"
As Maria was placing her hands in Michaels hands a surge of ergney passed through them. She felt it Michael had finly let go gave it all to her. As he let it go Maria finely took Michaels hands. As she took his hands Maria stared seeing Michaels Life flash before her eyes. For the first time he was hers. Completely Hers.
She saw Michael coming out of the pods. Michael was scared he had no one. Everyone was gone he was late. Max and Isabel were gone. There was one pod that still had someone in it Tess. He wanted to wait for her but he was scared and cold so he left her there. Then he ran to get away form everything scary. But then he saw Isabel with Max they were happy they were the same as him just happy. But Michael was scared he was not sure what they would think of him. Yes he was part of them they were form the same place but would they take him. Would they end up hurting him?
Michael feelings overwhelmed Maria. Maria saw Michael Finely getting the courage to show himself to Max and Isabel. He was no longer scared he was happy. Happy for once. Then Maria saw it all torn away form him. See saw the head lights coming Max and Isabel never made it off the road they were picked up by this lady. Who was now there mom? Michael was alone again. He was sacred and hurt they were family at lest that's what Max said they were, but he left him there in the desert by himself. He ran as far as he could trying to find the pod. Maybe that girl is still there. But Michael never made it he was found by a guy. His adopted dad. Never again was Michael happy.
Maria saw Michael's adopted dad beating him almost daily. The belt coming off of his waist striking Michael. She felt the sting of the belt on her shoulders and her back. She saw Michaels adopted dad come home drunk and then beat Michael till he could barely walk. Sometimes Michael got a broken bone or a few. She felt the punch in the stomach that Michael got when he was late. Maria wanted to cry. How could anyone live through this? She felt Michael sacred to come home but see felt him feel the same thing if he didn't.
She saw what Michael did to get away form his dad. He would sneak out. Sometimes to ritzy naboerhoods just to be able to sleep. He slept in boxes at times just to not get killed. When he got older it was easy to sneak into a club in the bad part of town and find a dark corner to sleep to hide. He met a women there a striper named Carrie. Carrie let him come in to her home spend the night when ever. If he worked at the bar in the club. So Michael did. He wanted to run he did sometimes but he always came back he knew he could not just leave. Michael was broken but would not let anyone know. He would not let anyone near him to let them see he was hurt. Carrie ended up moving away so Michael had on refugee anymore.
Then Maria came. Michael was alone till Maria. Then Michael had someone. Someone to see him, to make him happy, and love him if he only let her. But she saw that Michael was scared so he didn't let Maria in. He put her through hell. Then he was finally broken he had to do something. He had no one but Maria who was always there. So he went to her broken and freezing. Michael knew he could go to Maria. He knew Maria would not ask questions just be there. So he let go he cried for the first time in his life he cried.
That's when things changed. Michael knew he had to treat Maria with the respect he knows she deserved... And try his hardest not to put her through hell again. She wanted him so he finely let her in. Maria was his everything, his light, his Happiness'. Michael was finely happy. Then the flash was over...
