Chapter 2

"Guys? Where the hell did they go?" asked Michael as they searched Liz's room. "Balcony." He whispered started out there. As soon as he stepped out of the window he knew they weren't there.

"Let's go. They're not in here." Said Max slightly confused. His hands lingered on a picture frame. He had this feeling something was about to happen. He wasn't sure if it was good or bad. But something was about to happen. He was sure of it.

Finally obeying his own order, he led the group out of the room. He turned back to make sure everyone was there when he noticed Kyle lagging behind. As he told everyone to go back down stairs he joined Kyle.

"Before you say anything. I want you to know something. Granted it maybe a little late considering your situation with Tess and…everything." Said Kyle not even turning to face Max. Just staring at a photo on the bulletin board on Liz's wall of everyone in the group.

"Well?" replied Max dryly not really having the patience to deal with anyone at the moment let alone Kyle.

"Nothing happened between me and Liz. And I do mean nothing. Not a kiss or even an intimate touch since we broke up last fall. She staged the entire thing. The reason I am telling you this is that I know that she never would. She too stubborn." With that he turned to leave before Max had a turn to voice anything.

A fierce grip on his arm stopped him dead in his tracks. Before Max could say anything another familiar voice stopped him.

"What do you mean by that? I mean…how is that even possible?" asked Tess as she climbed back over the ladder followed by everyone else.

Kyle and Max dodged behind the bathroom door before anyone could have the change to see them.

"You think that I have all the answers, Tess? Guess what I don't. Never have. And I swear to god that if you ask me one more time 'What happens now' I will rip out your damn-"

"Cool it! This is the reason this all started in the first place. Be nice, remember." Said Liz as she stepped in front of the Future Max, blocking him from getting to Tess. He just simply nodded and plopped down on her bed.

"Thanks." Mumbled Tess shyly. She honestly couldn't believe that Liz Parker just stood up for her. Even with everything else that was going on.

"No Problem." Replied Liz with ease. She looked at F. Max, he soon followed with his apologies for his outburst. "Look. The way I see it is that we are all tired and this problem can be dealt with in the morning. Maria and Tess, you guys can spend the night here if you want to. We should get an early start tomorrow."

"Meet you here in half in hour?" asked Maria as she looked at Liz and Tess. They both nodded in agreement. The two girls quickly left through the window.

Liz turned to F. Max once again. "You two seem to be getting along a lot better." assumed F. Max as he pushed himself off of her bed.

"At least I am making an effort." Replied Liz a little harsher than intended. "Sorry…I didn't mean for it to sound so…"

"It's alright. I deserved it."

"I don't have to do everything again, do I? I don't think that I could go through that again. I mean everything that has happened lately…"

"No…you don't have to. I couldn't do that to you again. Making you do that. I am really proud of you, though." Answered F. Max standing in front of her and pulling her into a heart-wrenching hug.

"Why is that?" asked Liz. Her voice muffled from his shoulder.

"No matter what you kept your promise. You never know what could have happened if you had told him. At least now we…they are on the right track. Hopefully." He replied wishing it didn't have to happen.

With a short snort from her, she pulled back and tried to straighten out her clothes and her appearance. "I need to get some blankets and stuff from the hall closet. Will you help me?" she started to leave not even waiting for an answer.

He sighed softly and followed her out into the hall.

"I thought that they said that Zan was killed?" asked Kyle as they stepped out from the bathroom.

"I don't think that that was him."

"Then who do you think it was?" asked Kyle bewildered.

"Me."

TBC…
