The End of the World episode already happened when Future Max told Liz she had to break up with Max, so she faked sleeping with Kyle. Max and Tess have not slept together yet but they are getting closer when Tess tells Max of their past together. Liz is torn and Tess stays long enough to help Isabel, Max, and Michael face the skins, Liz is relieved. It's been a few weeks since the skins are gone. Will Liz finally get the courage to tell Max the truth or will it be too late? What happens when Max finds out that Liz isn't the same girl she was many, many weeks ago?

Previously...

"Amber, I need to see Liz. Do you think I can take you home? Maybe we can do something later this week or something..."

Amber simply nodded her head. Max and her had met when she had started working at the UFO Center, so she wasn't even sure why she was even surprised by his sudden urgency to get back to his place to talk to Liz.

"Sorry Amber," Max said, as he dropped her in front of her house, and he took off towards his place. "One way or another, Liz, I am going to find out what exactly is going on. What the hell are you hiding from me?"

Liz had finally lost him for good. He was on a date with some beautiful girl and that only broke her heart in a million of pieces. She had unfortunately done the wrong thing and couldn't even tell him about Future Max and the whole Kyle situation. It still made her quite upset that she could not remember what had even happened when Max and her had made love for the first time.

Suddenly, there was a knock at her bedroom door. "Liz, it's Max. Can I come in?"

When Liz felt her heart pound against her chest when she heard that sexy, deep voice of his, she blushed softly, quickly fixing her clothes that were on her back, along with fixing her hair. Liz had never really cared what she looked like before she met Isabel Evans because she always had thought that she looked beautiful.

"Yeah, come in, Max."

As Liz saw Max enter the room, he simply took her breath away like he always did, and she nervously ran a hand through her dark brown hair, not being able to look away from Max Evans. He amazed her every time they got in the same proximity of the other because he always looked good.

"How are you feeling?" Max asked, as he held up a small bag, and a sigh left his lips. "I didn't know what you liked so I got a few types of medicine, Liz."

Liz blushed sheepishly, as she looked up at him, and she watched him set the bag down on her dresser before he turned his attention back to her. Watching him, she noticed something was up, and she felt the bed move slightly when he took a seat down next to her.

"Liz…"

"Max, what's wrong?" Liz asked, as she rubbed the back of her neck, and she inhaled a deep breath. "Did your date go badly or something?"

"No… that's not it, Liz. I actually need to ask you something."

"Ask me something? What did I do? Did I do something wrong?"

Max sighed, as he turned to her, and he bit down on his bottom lip. He just needed to come out and say it. "Liz, did you sleep with Kyle?"

"Huh? Where is this coming from?" Liz asked, as she fidgeted with her fingers in her lap, and she looked over at him with a sigh leaving her lips.

"I just need to know and please don't hold back, Liz," Max practically begged, as he bit down on his bottom lip, and he ran his right hand into his hair. "I'm asking because when we made love, you said you were a virgin, and you, uh, felt like it as well. I just need to know that I am not losing my mind, please."

"I… you remember that?" Liz asked, as she felt her cheeks tint slightly, and she looked over to his handsome face. "I didn't think you remembered certain details."

"Come on, Liz," Max sighed, as he looked at her seriously, and he bit down on his bottom lip. "I need to know if I am going crazy or if what you and Kyle did do was just a ploy. Did you sleep with Kyle or didn't you?"

Liz sighed, as she stood up to her feet, and she walked to the window. "No, I had to find a way for you to break up with me, Max."

Max was even more confused and he followed her to the window, standing beside her, while he looked over at her beautiful face. "I thought you loved me, Liz. I don't understand why you wanted to break up with me, especially to how great things were going for us. Did I really not make you that happy or something? I just don't understand."

"Max, it wasn't you," Liz sighed, as she looked at him, and tears filled her eyes. "It was you… well, actually, it was Future Max…"

"Are you serious, Maria?" Ava gasped, as she covered her mouth, and she leaned against Zan's body. "How did I not know about this? Max and Liz had sex?!"

"Liz is so embarrassed but I think it's because it was her first time where she can't remember it," Maria explained, as she shrugged her shoulders, and she took a seat on the couch in Michael's and her apartment.

"I would be embarrassed too," Ava said honestly, as she ran her hand over Zan's hand that was holding her, and she looked back to Maria. "Where are the two now?"

"I think Liz went to go find Max. What if something bad happens, though?" Maria suddenly asked, as she looked at her two friends, and then to her boyfriend.

"What's the worst that could happen, anyways?" Michael asked, as he turned away from the television, and a sigh left his lips.

"Liz could wind up pregnant and that would break her to pieces," Ava said softly, as she bit down on her bottom lip, and she turned to Zan. "Zan, baby, can we go for a walk?"

Zan nodded his head and Ava waved to Maria and Michael, as they walked out the front door.

After Max looked at Liz in shock and horror that she had told him about Future Max, he felt relieved that she hadn't slept with Kyle, but he was upset that she had told Ava and Maria before him. It was like his heart had been ripped out from his chest and he really didn't like that she couldn't trust him.

"Liz, you should have told me. I can't believe you told Maria and Ava before… well, ME!"

"Max, I couldn't. I didn't want to ruin the future," Liz sighed, as she looked at him, and she saw how upset he looked at her. "I didn't even want to do this."

"How could you even do this?" Max asked, as he crossed his arms over his chest, and he inhaled a deep breath, his eyes looking in her direction.

Liz's bottom lip trembled, as she then watched Max leave the bedroom where tears all of a sudden began to wash down her bottom lip.
