Chapter 7b
"What-How--" Liz was shuttering. She could see her father was enraged.
"Well, I just happen to be checking the books when I found 500 dollar missing." Mrs. Parker was going to say something but Mr. Parker continued, "When I called Maria, and asked her about the money she told me she didn't know what happened to it. She was on the verge of hysterics. That's how I knew something was wrong. She finally blurted out that you took it. Why!?" Mr. Parker was furious. 'Why would Liz do something like this? She had never done anything like this before. Why now?'
Liz was silent. She didn't know how or what to answer. She was scared; her father was usually the calmest between him and her mother.
"Aren't you going to say anything in your favor, Liz? Liz sit down." Her mother's voice, filled with disappointment, reached her ears.
Liz lifted her gaze from the floor and sat in the nearest chair she could find, "Yes, I took the money. I'm not going to deny it."
"Why?" Came Mrs. Parker stern voice.
"I needed to help a friend." Liz answered.
Mr. Parker looked at Liz, "What friend?"
"A friend that needed help."
"Liz, your smart mouth remarks won't help you." Mr. Parker stated and began pacing again.
"Liz, was it Max you had to help? Tell me! Ever since you started hanging out with that boy, you have changed. You are always late; you don't complete your shifts, needed I go on? I knew he was trouble. I have always told you not to get attached to other people." Mrs. Parker didn't like the fact that Liz was so close to that boy.
"No, Max wasn't the one that needed my help. Mom, you don't like the fact that I actually have friends." Liz nearly screamed.
"Liz, you should respect your mother. We want you to have friends." Mr. Parker tried to sooth Liz.
Liz interrupted him, "Yeah, you let me have friends. Just don't get to attached and don't tell them my secret, right?" Liz didn't let them answered, "Because that's what it is, 'my secret', not yours!"
"Liz, we just want was best for you." Mr. Parker approached her and patted her head.
"Hiding myself is was best for me. My friends, they don't even know I was adopted."
Mrs. Parker interrupted them, seeing that they were getting sidetracked. She didn't like to acknowledge that Liz was adopted. She wanted to get them out off of that track. "We are missing the point. Liz, all we want to know who was the friend you had to help. Is that so much to ask?"
Liz just looked at her parents. She wouldn't say anything.
"Liz, you know you are making this more complicated than it already is?" Mr. Parker had to try and see if he could get any information. 'She can be stubborn when she wants to.'
"I'll pay back the 500 dollars," was the only thing Liz said.
"Yes, you will. Starting tomorrow. You'll come here straight from school. That's when your shift will begin and it will end at closing time. You will work the whole week even Sunday, with no pay. You can't go out with your 'friends', you can't use the phone. The only time you will see your friends will be at school." Mrs. Parker continued to tell Liz how her punishment was going to be, not caring it was a school night. When they were done Liz went to her room and tried to get some sleep.
---
"Max get up. We have to talk to Dad." Max heard Isabel's voice very far away.
"Maaaxx, get up! We have to talk to Dad." Isabel most likely screamed, again.
"Yeah, Maxwell. Let's go and face the music. Besides you can't oversleep. Because last night I told you to get some rest, and all you did was babble about Liz and David." Michael said smirking.
Max groaned and got up from the bed, "Wipe that smirk out off your face, Michael."
When Max finished getting ready they went downstairs to the kitchen. Isabel approached her mother. "Mom, where's Dad?"
Mrs. Evans turned from her place in front of the stove; "He had a meeting." When she saw their questioning looks, she added, "He told me the he would speak with you later this afternoon, and that Michael better come also. You better get going. You don't want to be late."
Max and Isabel gave their mother a kiss and a hug and said, "See you later."
When Isabel stepped out of the kitchen, she bumped into David. "Good morning."
David just mumbled, "To you maybe," and went into the kitchen.
Max's eyes darkened at the sight of David. Michael seeing this said, "Forget about him." Michael didn't like school, but he didn't want to have to listen to Max go on and on about David and Liz.
The last Mrs. Evans heard was Isabel comment; "Can you believe how rude he is?" Followed by Michael's yell, "Bye, Mrs. Evans."
---
Liz was awakened by her alarm clock. When she saw the hour, she jumped out of her bed and began to get ready. She didn't even bother to look at herself when she passed the mirror. When she completed her task, she headed downstairs. She slowed her pace, when she saw her mother and father on the couch. She could still feel last night's tension and she doubted it would go away anytime soon.
Liz approached her parents; "I'm going to school now."
Mrs. Evans looked at Liz with disappointment in her eyes, "Just remember to come here straight from school."
Liz answered stiffly, "I remember."
She didn't know how she got to school. Between her parents and the nightmares, she hadn't gotten much sleep. She hated those nightmares; the only thing she could remember was a coffin being lowered into the ground, and great despair and sadness.
Maria brought her out of her thoughts. "Oh, my God. Liz what happened to you? You look awful."
"Missed your beauty sleep?" Alex asked, concerned for his friend.
Maria didn't let Liz answer either of the questions, because she suddenly jumped into Liz arms and began hugging her, "Liz, I'm so sorry. I panicked, and just blurted out everything. I didn't mean to tell your parents."
"I don't get a hug? Because I--" Alex didn't get to finish his question, because he was crushed by the two girls and put on a death grip. A group of student passed by then and they heard them mutter, "Weirdoes." They didn't care. They were happy to be together.
Liz let them loose, and looked at Maria. "It's okay, Maria. I had to deal with it anyway."
"But Liz, are you sure? You look like something the cat dragged in." Maria exclaimed, unsure as how to take Liz's previous reassurance.
Liz sighed. They could be persistent when they wanted to. "Yes, I'm sure. I'm okay. Maria, you sure know how to lift one's spirit."
Alex wrapped his arms around Liz. "Maria, has a point, Liz. You don't look too well."
Liz leaned on Alex's embrace, "It's just things--aren't exactly easy these few days, and I haven't been getting much sleep lately."
"Do those sleepless night have anything to do with a certain Czech who wanted to take a step back?" Maria asked, as she looked at her and then let her gaze linger around. Max, Michael, and Isabel had gotten there just about the same time as Liz.
Liz's cheeks turned bright red, and she got closer to Alex, not wanting to answer Maria's question. She may be having nightmares, and she may be worried about David, but she also missed Max. She couldn't help but think that if he knew what was going on, things would be better.
Maria let Liz's silence pass. She didn't need her to answer. Liz's blush said it all. They began to head inside the school.
Max, Michael, and Isabel waited a few minutes before joining them. They had seen that Maria, Liz, and Alex where in a deep conversation, and they didn't want to intrude. Thinking that they may be able to get some information.
Michael unconsciously went to Maria's side, "Hey."
Max glanced at Liz, and interrupted any reply Maria could have given, "We wanted to ask you, guys, if we could meet at lunch in our usual bench?"
"Sure," was their immediate answer.
Max adjusted his books, and with a last glance towards Liz's direction, said, "Okay, we'll see you later."
Before Max could go, Isabel exclaimed forgetting she was jealous of the way Alex had his arm wrap around Liz, "Oh, my god, Liz. You look awful."
Liz tilted her head, "Thanks, Isabel. I just haven't gotten much sleep. That's all." Every time, she remembers her nightmare a chill goes through her.
Max listened attentively. He was concerned. He hadn't really had a good look at Liz, but now that Isabel mentioned it, and Liz moved to answer Isabel's question it made it easier for him to examine her. He saw that she really didn't look to well. She had dark circles under her eyes and she looked a little pale.
Michael seeing how worried Maria was intervened, "Maybe you should go home, and get some rest."
Liz was thankful for their support. It made her forget her problems for a little while. She was glad that they weren't questioning her like before. "Michael, I like the idea. But I can't miss school. Besides it isn't that big of a deal."
Max decided to put his input in this matter, "Not a big of a deal, Liz!"
Liz was tired of all the commotion, "Fine, I'll rest when I get home, okay?" Thinking 'Well that is if my parents let me.'
Alex dropped his arm from around her, "Okay. You just be sure, you rest."
Alex knew that Liz was irritated by their concern, so he decided to end the discussion.
Maria heard the bell, which indicated that they were late. "Let's go. We are late, so much for getting here early."
All of them were late to their classes, luckily they went unnoticed by their teacher's.
When Bio came, Liz was too tired to even try to hide from Max just how tired she really was. She was emotionally and physically tired. She sighed as she took her seat near Max. 'Just a few more hours, and I can go home.' She groaned when she remembered she had to work. She was looking for her notebook in her backpack when she heard Max asked her a question.
Max, hearing Liz groan, directed his gaze towards her. "Are you okay?"
Liz looked up from her backpack. "Yeah, I'm okay. I just remembered something."
"Okay," Max was unhappy by the lack of conversation. When he was going to mention it to her, the teacher came in. So he let it slide. They were so busy taking note's that they didn't notice that Liz had fallen asleep.
Liz was too tired to even pay attention to what the teacher was saying. She drifted into sleep. She felt a chill, and it was dark. She felt loneliness and despair. She was terrified. With the feeling alone she knew she was having the same nightmare again. What scared her the most was the emptiness and loneliness she felt. The next thing that came was a coffin being lowered into the ground.
The students and teacher were interrupted by a loud scream. "Noooo! Please come back! Don't leave me!!!"
Max immediately looked at Liz. She had a look on her face that indicated just how terrified she was. He began to shake her. "Liz, wake up," He repeated over and over again.
The teacher immediately went to their side, "Liz, are you okay?"
Liz was disorientated but managed a shaky answer, "Yeah."
"Maybe you should go to the nurse." Mrs. Johnson was clearly not convinced.
"I'm fine." Liz stated more firmly. She didn't want to go there, because they would surely called her parents.
Mrs. Johnson let her be, "Okay, but if you need to go to the nurse, just say so."
Liz, relieved, answered. "I will. Thank you."
Max was not easily fooled. "Liz, are you sure?"
Liz didn't like it when they fussed over her. "Yes, I'm sure."
Max took her hand in his. "Liz, you are visibly shaking."
Liz ignored him, and slipped her hand out of his, and began to take notes. Through the rest of the day, the only thing people would talk was about the event during Bio. By lunchtime everyone knew of the events. Liz wanted some time to herself, but she remembered the meting. When she got there, the others were already there. She had gone to the bathroom and splashed some water on her face in hopes that it would erase any trace of just how tired she was. It seem that those late and sleepless nights where catching up with her.
Maria was the first one to see her. She got up from her seat and hugged Liz. "We heard what happened. Are you sure, you are okay?"
"I'm okay. Like I said before, it's just lack of rest," Liz said, trying to reassure Maria.
Maria and Liz neared the bench. Liz sat between Alex, and Maria. Like using them as shield to protect them from the Czechs. She knew she had nothing to fear, but she didn't want to be asked again if she was okay. They gave her sympathetic looks but didn't say anything. She was grateful for that.
They were going to start when suddenly Liz stood up.
Maria being concerned for her friend asked. "What's wrong, Liz?"
Liz began to get her things. "Nothing. I have to go," with that said, she left.
When they looked towards the direction she was headed they saw that David was waving at her. They were surprised that Liz would leave like that, just by the sight of him. They were even more surprise when they hear a growl coming from Max. Max's blood boiled. 'She left them. So, she could go to him!'
---
Liz hugged David. "What are you doing here?"
David led her to his car. "I came to get you. So, we could talk."
Liz buckled her seatbelt. "Where did you get this car?"
"It's mine," was his short answer.
Liz adjusted her hair. "Where are we going?"
"You'll see when we get there."
Liz looked at him incredulously. "You do know that I have to go to school, right?" He didn't answer, he just kept driving. Liz, seeing he wasn't going to make much of conversation, drifted to sleep.
She was awakened by David. "Liz, we are here."
When she saw where they were, she asked. "David, what are we doing here?"
He grabbed her hand. "Come on. Let's go."
"No, no, no! David, I'm not going in there!" Liz was on the verge of hysterics. She kept pulling her arm, trying to get out of his grasp.
"Liz, come on. You will have to face what's here some day," David said trying to calm her, "Come on." He turned her around, and she was left facing the sign that said, "Welcome to Roswell Cemetery"
