Part 2

(Crashdown)

(Liz sat down in a booth as she saw everyone's cars pull up in the driveway, she had ran here from the cemetery and waited for everyone to show up for the wake. She hadn't been able to go back to the funeral, she had called Kyle to let the others know; that last thing she needed was for them to show up and try to take her back. Liz was pulled from her thoughts as Max, Micheal, Kyle, Maria, and Isabel walked in and over to her).

Maria:(as they reached her) Chica are you ok?

Liz:(stood up and hugged Maria) No I'm not Ria. I couldn't say goodbye to them. (She said as tears started going down her face)

Maria: It's ok Lizzie. (She hugged her back and shared a worried glance with Kyle)

Liz:(pulled back and wiped the tears away off her face) I- (she was cut off by Phillip Evans)

Phillip: Hey kids. (He looked at Liz) Liz how are you holding up?

Liz:(lied) I'm feeling better.

Phillip:(nods) I need to talk to you in the back. (He looked at Max and the others) If Liz wants you guys to come you can.

Liz:(as they looked at her, she nodded) Yea. (She turned and followed Phillip to the back)

Phillip:(As they all reached the back) Liz you might want to sit down for this. (She looked at him curiously but sat down on the couch)

Isabel:(concerned) What's this about dad?

Phillip:(sighed and sat down in a chair across from them. He waited until everyone else got comfortable; Maria and Kyle sat down on each side of Liz and the other three stood behind the couch) I don't know if you know this, but I was your parents Lawyer for their wills.

Liz:(shook her head) They made wills? (She knew her parents had never mentioned anything about their wills)

Phillip:(nods) Yes and there was something important that they were going to tell you themselves on your 18th birthday. (He said as he remembered the last time they came to change their wills; they had told him they were planning on giving Liz the news once she turned 18) I would wait to tell you but the sooner you know the better.

Liz:(looked at him curiously; wondering what was so important that it couldn't wait) What is it?

Phillip:(paused knowing she wouldn't take the new well) You were adopted Liz. (He says waiting for her reaction and glancing at the others as he heard their shocked gasps and "What the hell's")

Liz:(looked at him shocked, she couldn't believe what she was hearing) What? (She shook her head) No there's no way.

Phillip:(sighed) Liz, Nancy got pregnant with you before she married Jeff. Your biological father lives in Newport, California. His name is Sandy Cohen.

Liz:(looked at him for a moment, she knew he was telling her the truth; she just had to process it. Taking a deep breath she asks) Does he know about me?

Phillip:(couldn't help but give her a small smile at how she had accepted it) No (he says shaking his head) He doesn't know about you.

Liz:(nods as she processes what he is telling her, but then as she thinks of what he said earlier she frowns) I get that this is important, but why did you have to tell me now?

Phillip:(looks her straight in the eyes, wanting her to understand what he is going to tell her is serious) Your not 18 yet Liz, you need a legal guardian. I'm telling you this now because we need to go to Newport. If your father wants you to stay with him then you have to stay there; at least until you turn 18.

Liz:(shocked) What if I don't want to go? (She couldn't believe this was happening to her)

Phillip:(sighed) Liz it's not a choice, it's either that or you will be placed in foster care until your 18. At least this way you can stay in one place.

Max:(cried, he couldn't lose Liz. He still wanted to talk to her about them getting back together. Not to mention if their enemies came they had to stick together) Dad there has to be something you can do.

Phillip:(shook his head) I'm sorry son there isn't. (He knew his kids weren't going to take the news well, especially Max and Maria)

Maria:(incredulously) So that's it.

Micheal:(placed a hand on her back, trying to help her relax; he then looked at Phillip) What about getting emancipated like I did?

Phillip:(shakes his head) Your case was different Micheal, you didn't have anybody else to look after you. Liz does, they are just going to suggest the same thing I have.

Liz:(after watching their exchange, she realized what she had to do) When do we leave?

Kyle:(looked at Liz in shock) You can't be serious?

Liz:(sighs) It's only a year, and it would probably be a good idea for me to get out of Roswell for a while. It's either this or foster care and I would rather do this ok.

Max:(shakes his head) Liz there has to be something we can do.

Liz:(shakes her head) Max didn't you hear what your dad said there isn't. I'm doing this, so you can either support me or back the hell off. (She tells him frustrated; the last thing she needed was for Max to make this harder than it had to be)

Max:(stood up angrily) No Liz. We-

Micheal:(stood up, he knew Liz didn't need this right now and it pissed him off that his royal high ass wouldn't just accept it) Max she's right. Take it from someone who had been in foster care. That's the last place she should be.

Max:(looked at him shocked) You can't be serious. (He couldn't believe they weren't behind him)

Isabel:(looks at him sadly) Max he's right. (Max looked at them angrily when he saw that none of them were behind him; so he turned around and stormed out)

Phillip:(shocked, he had never seen his son like that. Mentally shaking his head he looked at Liz) Get your stuff packed and we will leave in the morning ok? (Liz nodded and watched him leave, and before she could start thinking about what was going to happen; people started walking up to her giving her their condolences).

End Part.
