Chapter 6
"Oh my god." Whispered Maria as they slowly entered the café. They looked around carefully watching to see if anyone was still there.
"Liz you can't stay here." Said Isabel as they made their way into her bedroom.
"I know." Mumbled Liz as she walked around her room that was completely destroyed.
"So what do we do?" asked Tess as she surveyed the damage done to the apartment.
Liz was already starting to put things into a duffle bag as they continued to talk. Since they left the school things were a little easier between the group and the new comers. She thanked god for that.
"Liz, are you alright?" asked Max as everyone was starting to cleanup the living room. He had been watching her carefully since they had arrived. She had avoided him every chance she got.
"I will be. Soon." She sighed as she sank down on to the mattress that was thrown on the floor. "I just wish that they would give me a little break, you know? I mean, I have one of them working on these flashy memory thingies in my head 24/7 and now this. Just because I happen to know a number pattern that could fix everything." She snorted. "Seems kind of ironic doesn't it."
"I sorry Liz…for everything…everything that has happened to you because of knowing me. You can literally see the pain I've caused you." Said Max as he waved around the room.
"Don't be." Replied Liz as she stood up, "I'm not, for some weird twisted reason this was all going to happen one way or another. Granted it wasn't the plan at first…but it is now. We can't change the past no matter how hard we try. It only gets worse. That part is evident. You tried it once Max, don't think you can do it again." Liz grabbed her bag that was now fully packed and started to walk out of the room. Maria told her in the car that she told everyone after Kyle blurted out that they never slept together to Max. She was pissed at first, but decided that maybe it was better that they knew now.
Before she could completely leave he grabbed her arm and yanked her toward him. "Thank you…for everything. What you did…I would never be able to do that? I am sorry for the way I treated you before you left for Sweden. I really wasn't myself…but yet I was. I guess I just didn't want to believe that you could go after what you wanted and not need me to be with you. Can you ever forgive me?"
"All you had to do was ask."
He nodded as she pulled away and walked out of the room to join their friends.

"Okay Lizzie, we have it all worked out. You staying at Michael's until we get this place cleaned up and your parents return. That way no one will really know about it. I mean, staying at my house with Sean, and me staying at Kyle's with him and Tess, or staying at Isabel's with her and Max. We just thought that you would like it better there, plus it wouldn't be as crowded."
"Thanks, it's fine. I could always stay at a hotel, too. He doesn't need to do anything."
"Yes he does. We all do." Answered Isabel. "We owe you a lot. We owe you all a lot. As much as we hate to admit it." She was ashamed of the way she talked about her earlier. Even though she wasn't around, she wanted to make it up to her.
"Thanks." Replied Liz.
"Well are you ready to go?" asked Tess as she stood up from the couch.
"Yep."

"They were at the house. This plan may not work as well as you thought. She is hold up a lot better with them all around."
"We'll see."

TBC….
I know this part didn't have much, but it was more about reconciliation than anything else.
