PART 4
Neither one of them regretted their decisions about
their relationship. They had gotten back together six
months ago, in two days. That would mean that all
together, Max and Liz will have been together for two
whole years. This was BIG. I mean, really BIG. Liz
expected something wonderful from Max. Their three
month anniversary had been spectacular. A wonderful
dinner...and afterwards...(No, it's not what you're
thinking!)
Anyway, Liz had high hopes for this coming night.
She hoped their two-year anniversary would signify the
cementation of their relationship. Little did Liz
know, that Max had no idea what was to be celebrated
in two days.
Maria had never gotten into too much trouble for
telling Max the secret. In fact, Liz had actually
thanked her. Maria was relieved to see that Liz was
finally happy again. Plus, not having to deal with
Liz's problems gave her more time to spend with
Micheal. Maria really wanted to take their
relationship to the next level. She was ready. The
question was: What about Micheal?
Maria constantly heard about the anniversary. "I
wonder what he's getting me", or "It's going to be
soooooo romantic", or "I can't believe this is
actually my life". That last one was from Maria.
Sometimes Maria wished her boyfriend was more like
Max. Caring, sweet, kind, romantic...No such luck.
"Maria, where do you think he'll take me?" Liz
asked dreamily.
"I really don't know Liz." Maria said, getting
aggrivated. She just wished Liz would shut up! Liz
went on though, oblivious to Maria's hidden annoyance.
"Maybe to the new french restaurant? Or..."
"Shut up!!!" Maria screamed. Liz jumped.
"Gosh Maria! What's wrong with you?"
"You. You're what's wrong with me. You driving me
absolutly nuts! Max this, Max that! All about how
perfect you damned relationship is! I love you Liz. I
need you to be happy. I proved that to you when I told
Max the truth. Just don't rub it in, ok?"
"Geez, sorry Maria. I didn't know you felt that
way."
"Me and Micheal are going through a bit of a rough
time in our relationship. I'm sorry for screaming at
you."
"Don't worry about it. Listen, I think I need to
get home. See you tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Bye."
"Bye."
TWO DAYS LATER
"Hi Max."
"Hey Liz." The two met each other at Liz's locker.
He kissed her hello.
"That was nice."
"I know. So what do you want to do today?"
"Oh, I thought maybe you'd tell me." Liz said with
a giggle. She loved it when Max pretended not to
remember important things. It always meant he'd
surprise her later with something even better then she
expected.
"Ummmmmm...I was kinda thinking maybe me and
Micheal could hang out tonight. If you don't mind."
Max continued.
"Oh. I...I mean, well..."
*What's going on? Is he serious? I think he's
serious!*
"Are you serious?"
"Well, yeah...I mean, if it's okay with you."
"I, I can't believe this! Max, how could you? You
of all people! God Max!" Liz cried.
"What?"
"If you don't know, I'm sure as hell not gonna tell
you!" Liz shouted. Then she turned around and stormed
away.
*I can't believe he forgot! This is so important to
me! I thought it was to him too! Max, why are you
doing this? What's going on?* Liz thought. Lizwas
about to cry. She ran to the bathroom and hid in one
of the stalls. There she stayed for most of first
period. Then she made sure no one was in the hall, and
she went home.
Max stood in front of Liz's locker feeling very
dazed. *What just happened here? What did I do now?*
Max thought about it for a few seconds. Then he
realized his fatal mistake. Today was the 24th! *OMG!
I can't believe I forgot our anniversary!*
LATER THAT NIGHT
"Hi is Maria there?" Liz asked over the phone.
"Sure Liz, one sec." Mrs. Deluca answered.
"Hello?"
"Hi Maria, it's Liz."
"Hey Liz, what's up?"
"Oh nothing much...except Max forgot our
anniversary!"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes!" Liz said.
"OMG, Liz! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I mean no, I mean, I don't know!"
"Liz, do you need me to come over?"
"I don't think so Maria. I just need to talk. Do
you think I should forgive him?"
"Liz, all I can say is that maybe you expect too
much from him. Remember how you said he had you on
this pedastal? That you were soooo perfect, in every
way? Maybe you have him on that pedastal too. That
just makes it worse when he falters. I think you
should forgive him Liz. You could still save your
anniversary you know."
"You know what Maria? You're right. I'm going to go
over there right now. Well, after I prepare our
anniversary dinner in the park! Thanks Maria! You're
the best friend a girl ever had."
"You're welcome Liz. You deserve the perfect guy!
And for you, that guy is Max!"
"Thanks! Bye!"
"Bye!"
OUTSIDE MAX'S HOUSE
Liz snuck up to the window of Max's room. She
couldn't wait to see the look on his face when she
stepped inside. She had been upset at first, but Maria
made her realize that Max was the only guy she could
ever love, and she shouldn't screw it up. She was in
love with the perfect guy, and she couldn't wait to
tell him. Li crept slowly to the window. She peeked
over the window ledge, and saw, to her horror, Max and
Tess sitting on Max's bed, holding hands. Liz almost
screamed, but she stifled it just in time. She had to
get away. She didn't understand why this was
happening. Didn't he love her anymore? First the
anniversary, and now this? In Liz's struggle to get
away from Max and Tess she made a lot of noise and
knocked over quite a few things. She caused quite a
stir. Max jumped at the sudden noise and ran to the
window. He saw Liz running down the street. He called
her name, but she didn't turn around. He couldn't
believe he had let this happen. How could he have let
her see him with Tess? And on their anniversary too?
He felt awful, but worst of all he knew that Liz
wouldn't be quick to forgive.
Max walked back into his room. He was feeling
terribly depressed.
"Tess, I think you should leave now."
"Oh, but why Max? Who was at he window?"
"It was Liz. I think she has the wrong idea about
us. I mean we're just friends. Right?"
"So, let me get this straight. Liz is mad at you
because 1. You forgor your anniversary, and 2. she saw
you on the bed with me. Am I right?"
"Well, yeah, I guess."
"Some girlfriend ya got there Max. Jumps at all the
little things. Maybe you should shake her up a
little." Tess said as she walked towards him.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Maybe you should make what she thinks happened,
come true." Tess whispered as she leaned in on Max.
She looked up at him with those big blue eyes, and
kissed him. Max pushed her away as soon as he realized
what was going on.
"Tess, what's wrong with you? You know I love Liz,
I'd never do anything to hurt her. I needed your
advice. I had no one else to talk to. Isabel is out,
Micheal and Maria are on a date, I couldn't get a hold
of anyone else. So I called you."
"So is that what I am? Is that what I am to you
Max? A last resort? You've all made me feel so welcome
here! Damn it Max! Why can't you accept your destiny?
Liz is out of the picture now."
"Tess, I don't love you! I don't care if it's my
destiny! I love Liz, and I always will! She'll never
be out of the picture! Now just go!"
"One day you'll understand Max! I'll get you back
someday!" Tess screamed. Then she ran out of the room
and out of the house.
Liz cried and cried. She didn't understand any of
this. *Why would he do this to me? I thought he loved
me!* Liz couldn't control her feelings. She felt
anger, sadness, hate, depression, lonliness. She was
right back where she started. *What am I gonna do?*
Tess stormed into her house. She stomped up the stairs
and slammed the door to her room. Kyle got up when he
heard this. *What's up with her?* He wondered. After a
few minutes he reluctantly got up and went to see what
was wrong.
"Tess? Where are you?"
Just then Tess came out of the bathroom with nothing
but a towel wrapped around her. She was wet, she had
obviously just showered. Tess didn't seem surprised to
see Kyle there. Nor was she upset.
"So Kyle. What did you want?"
"Oh, nothing, I just wanted to make sure you were
alright."
"Oh. Well I'm fine." Tess said. Then she dropped
the towel and stood in front of Kyle, completly naked.
Then she walked right past him to her closet. She took
out Kyle's old jersey and slipped it on.
"So how are you tonight Kyle?"
"Oh, uh...I'm, I'm f...fi...fine."
"Good. I was wonderng. Do you wanna talk? You seem
kind of...tense."
"Yeah, well I guess I am a little tense."
Tess went and sat down on her bed. She patted the seat
next to her.
"Here Kyle. Come sit down."
He sat down beside her. She began massaging his
shoulders.
"Does that feel better?"
"Yeah..."
"You have such big muscles! You must be really
strong! I bet you're great in bed. She leaned over and
kissed him passionatly. Kyle fell for it. The next
morning Kyle woke up beside Tess. It had been a great
night for him. He had loved every minute. Tess woke up
next to him. She had loved last night too. Max was
history. Maybe he was right. Maybe destiny wasn't
final. But that didn't mean she had forgotten about
her promise. With thoughts of how to get Max back on
her mind, she snuggled closer to Kyle and fell back
asleep.

As the writer of this fic I have to tell you that I am
a Tess hater. No offense to any of you who happen to
like her, but in my opinion, she is evil. Anything
that could come between Max and Liz like she did is
evil. I wanted to make this fic as realistic as
possible.I have to warn you, there are rocky times
ahead for Max and Liz in this fic. However, I always
have a happy ending.
Luv,
