This Kiss IV

A/N: No yap, let's just get straight to the story (Liz's POV)



After my second night with Max, all the regrets from the first time we slept together faded away from me, and all that was left was my love for Max. Even though we couldn't act like it at school because of Tess, me and Max were together, in spirit. I was a different Liz Parker now, connected forever with Max by the bond we shared. Everyone noticed I was acting differently.



"Girl, what is up with YOU?" Maria asked me one day during lunch.



I grinned. "It's just-"



Suddenly, I started to feel dizzy. I held my forehead in my hands and closed my eyes as my head started spinning for a few seconds, then stopped.



"Are you okay?" Maria asked.



"Yeah, but I felt really nauseous just now."



"Hmm, probably just indigestion from the cafeteria food," Maria said, taking a bite of the disgusting meatloaf on her tray and grimacing.



I closed my eyes for a moment, reflecting on the pain I'd just experienced. What was THAT? Since when did I get dizzy spells in the middle of lunch?



As if she could read my mind, Maria suddenly looked up from the meatloaf with her eyes wide.



"Ooh, girl, you're not?-"



"No," I said firmly. "Of course I'm not."

A week passed, the spells got worse. I could barely walk without my eyes getting blurred suddenly, my head pounding, and my stomach becoming unstable. One day, me and Max were in my room studying for our science midterm when I started feeling sick again. I bent my head down and clamped my fists tight.



"What's wrong?" Max asked, his eyes widening.



But before I could answer him, I got so nauseated I just had to run to the bathroom and let it all out. After I finished throwing up, I started to cry. What if Maria was right? But, no, I couldn't possibly be-



I felt Max by my side, concern on his face.



"Are you alright?" he asked, holding onto my shoulders.



"Oh, Max," I said weakly, burying my head in his shoulders. I felt like every ounce of strength in me was being drained. My knees weakened, and my mind went completely blank.



Then I fainted.



A/N: ANOTHER cliffhanger! Aren't I EVIL? This one was short, and just a bit of a bridge into the next part. WHEN will I post the next part, you ask? Soon, hopefully. And it will be a doozie! Is Liz pregnant? What will happen to her? And what will happen if Tess and the others find out? You'll just have to wait and see...
