Sorry for the long wait but I was in France, visiting some relatives and I couldn't bring the PC with me.
In this chapter I will introduce a new character. Liz's aunt. In the show we have no information so I made her up. I called her Jessica. She's not much older than Liz and is very similar to her niece. She is Jeff's sister. In this chapter we won't see much. It's a little bit of a filler to explain some things.
Have fun reading
Chapter 2 – Aunt Jessica
"It's beautiful!" Liz said while putting down her bag. "Dad said that you bought a new house, but this is beautiful, Auntie."
"I know." Her Aunt Jessica smiled at her before throwing herself on the bed. "All thanks to my last promotion." She smirked. "Your dad was so jealous." Liz laughed at the thought.
"Do you think that's why my dad is suddenly interested in me going to Harvard to study biology?" She rolled her eyes and sat herself near her aunt.
"I'm sure of it." Jessica laughed hard. "He even asked me if I had a way to find a place for you somewhere near Roswell." Liz laughed. That was so like her dad.
"What did you tell him?"
"That you won't need help." She smirked at her. "You, my niece, are the smartest person in this family." Liz hugged her. Her aunt was awesome, and while she would miss Max and the others, she was happy to be there. "Oh, I almost forgot it. While you are here I will need to work. At least most of the mornings. I tried to tell your dad that it wasn't a good moment for you to come here."
"It's not a problem for me." Liz shook her shoulder and smiled. "I need to work on some things, the time won't be wasted, auntie. Don't worry." Her aunt smiled back at her. After some second of silence her smile started to look more like a smirk. "What?" Liz asked knowing that Jessica had something in mind.
"Who is it?"
"Who is who?" She was confused by the question.
"The boy that my big bro hated so much that he needed to send you away." Her aunt was smart and knew her dad very well.
"Who says that there is someone?" She smirked a little, trying to play the innocent girl.
"Oh come on, Lizzy. I know my brother." She rolled her eyes. "He would have kept you, working at the Crash Down the whole summer if he didn't think that he had a good motive to send you away."
"Okay, maybe there is someone." She blushed, her link to Max was almost shut down, but she could feel him inside her mind still.
"Who?" Her aunt was thirty years old, but at times she couldn't tell.
"His name is Max Evans, I know him since third grade." Her blush deepened.
"Is he handsome?" Jessica moved her eyebrow up and down, making her giggle a little.
"Yep. Wait a moment." She took her bag back from the floor and took out her wallet. "This is him." She let her aunt see the photo she kept in it. It was of the day after they had found the orb. Maria took it while they weren't looking at the Crash Down.
"Sexy!" Her aunt exclaimed seeing it. "I can tell that he has a six pack to die for under that shirt..."
"Aunt Jessica!" Liz said before starting to laugh so hard that she almost fell off the bed.
"Am I wrong?" Jessica smirked at her, making her blush hard.
"No. You are not." She smirked back still blushing.
"Since when you started to go out with this pretty boy?"
"Some months ago, but he said that he liked me since the first time he saw me."
"Didn't you tell me that you know each other since third grade?" Liz nodded and smiled. "Wow, Lizzy, if you could have him since then why you waited?"
"Lot of things. First of all I didn't knew that he liked me." She pouted a little.
"You are a little slow at noticing things that are not in some books..." She threw a pillow at her aunt. "Hey, don't hit me for telling the truth." Jessica laughed at her and threw back the pillow. "Come on, I want the whole story."
"Maybe another day? I need to call home to tell the others that I got here safe, and then I would like to eat something. I didn't have lunch on the plane, I'm starving." Liz admitted mere seconds before her stomach growled.
"I can hear it..." Jessica got up from her bed. "Very well, call home, tell pretty boy that you miss him, then come in the kitchen. I promise you a dinner to die for."
"You mean a sandwich?" Liz mocked her aunt, knowing that she couldn't cook anything more complicated.
"Don't insult the cook, or I could spit in it."
"Gross." Jessica got out from the room laughing. Liz smiled and took out the cellphone. She put money in it before leaving, so her daily chats with Max won't cost her aunt half her paycheck.
"Hey, Liz." Max answered after the first ring. "Did you have a good flight?" Hearing his voice made her smile.
"It could have be better. I missed you." She looked out of the door of her room to be sure that her aunt was enough far away. "But I can still feel you. The link is very weak, but is still here." She was joyful. If not even the distance could break it then maybe nothing could.
"I can still feel you too." He whispered back to her. She smiled, knowing that he was probably at the Crash Down with the whole group. "Maria saw me. Before she take the phone from me I want to say that I love you."
"I love you too." She said back.
"... phone! I want to talk with Liz, then you can have her." She heard her best friend saying from the other side.
"Here she is."
"Liz!" Maria voice almost deafened her.
"Hi Maria." She answered chuckling a little.
"I miss you already!" She was probably pouting. "It seem that every single person of Roswell decided that today was a good day to come at the Crash Down. Your dad had to ask Isabel to help."
"She must be so happy about it..." Liz laughed, remembering the last time Isabel helped.
"She said that she will give nightmares to your dad for a week." Confirmed her best friend laughing.
"I would love to see it." She shook her head.
"How is Jessica?" She knew her aunt from the times she had come to Roswell for Christmas and Thanksgiving.
"The same. She still love to embarrass me. She asked me who was the boy that dad didn't like."
"Well, she is his sister. She knows him." Maria and Jessica had a lot in common.
"I let her see the photo you took of Max and me. She said he was hot and that he must have a six pack to die for." She repeated while blushing. Maria started to laugh again.
"What?" She heard Max ask from the other end.
"And you?" Maria asked trying to stop the giggles. "What did you answer?"
"That she wasn't wrong." Liz smiled in the phone. "Now can I talk with him again?"
"Sure, girl. I'll call you tomorrow or the next day. Love you girlfriend."
"Love you too, Maria."
"For you... sexy." She heard Maria tell to Max before starting to laugh again.
"I don't know if I want to know what she was laughing about..."
"Probably not if you want to look my aunt in the eyes when you'll meet her." Max chuckled from the other side of the phone.
"How are you?" He asked. She was sure that he had one of his handsome smiles on his face just now.
"I miss you, but I'm okay." She laid down on the bed. "I love my aunt, she likes the same things I like, and I love to be able to pass time with her. It could only be better if you were here with me." She sighed but decided that she won't let the thought ruin their phone call. "My aunt told me that she will work some morning, so I thought that I could train a little while she is out. She has this room in the basement that she use as a gym."
"That could be a good idea, Liz, but only if you promise me not to do anything that could be dangerous for your aunt house." He joked.
"I promise." She chuckled a little. "Did you see Tess?"
"No. We didn't have a training session today and I was here a the Crash Down the whole time. She never showed up." She felt him sing in the phone. "I hope that having our link still open will help me fight her off."
"You will. Don't forget to use the diary anyway." She closed her eyes trying to imagine him there, near her. She missed him so much already.
"Liz!" Her aunt voice came from the kitchen. "Dinner's ready!"
"I have to go." She said sadly in the phone.
"I will call you tomorrow, Liz."
"I miss you, Max." She didn't need to tell him that she loved him. He already knew that.
"Miss you to." He whispered back. "Goodnight."
"Night." She closed the call and took a deep breath before going into the kitchen.
_.-._.- SRW -._.-._
"It worked, Max is all alone for a whole months." Tess said into the phone.
"Did you started already to seduce him? You found out when his reprod..."
"No." Tess stopped Nasedo rolling her eyes even if she knew that he couldn't see her through the phone. "I went to his house but he wasn't there. I'll start tomorrow, during our training session."
"You will use your mind-wrap?"
"I don't think I will need too much of it now that Lizzy is away. He is a man. Without her around he won't resist me." She closed the call, a smile on her face. "I will take back what is mine. No puny human girl will take the throne away from me."
Dan dan daaaaaan...
It's a little short, I know, but I promise more for the next one! LEt me know!
