Part 2
Maria and Liz was getting ready to work, they were both sad about the whole destiny thing. Well who wouldn't be if the one you loved chose some destiny before you. Liz didn't take is as hard as Maria and Alex because she made the choice to leave him but in a way, she thought that he left her. Maria walked down on the couch in the break room and pretended to sleep.
"Come on Maria, we have to work" Liz said and smiled.
"But I don't want to, can't we just like run away and have the best time of our lives," Maria said as she rose from the couch and made her way over to where Liz was standing.
"I want to but we have a thing called as a life we all have to live" Liz said and buttoned her uniform.
"Speaking of lives have you and Max talked?" Maria asked and looked at Liz.
"Yes, and we have decided that we were going to be friends" Liz said and shut her locker.
"And you are OK with that?" Maria said as she put on her headband.
"I walked, remember?" Liz said and put on hers.
"I know but you look like you want him back," Maria said. Liz looked at Maria and tried to smile. Maria was right, she wanted him back so badly.
"Enough about me, what's going on between you and Michael?" Liz said and tried to change the subject.
"We don't talk, or rather he doesn't talk, he avoids me" Maria said sadly. "A guy can't just say that he loves you and then avoid you all summer."
"He'll come around," said Liz as she hugged Maria. "Doesn't he always?"
"I hope so, I miss him" Maria said as she wiped away a tear that had run down her face.
"Let's go to work" Liz said and smiled.
They walked up front to Alex who was sitting at the counter eating a hamburger and were talking when the doorbell rang. Liz and Maria both looked over at the door and saw Amy and Sheriff Valenti walk in. Valenti had become the father figure for the group since Kyle had been shot and Tess moved in with them.
"Hey Mom, Sheriff" Maria said to them when they were standing at the counter beside Alex.
"Hey" Alex said to them.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Maria asked. Her mom looked like she was run over by a truck like a thousand times.
"Maria, can you come with us?" The Sheriff said to her.
"What did I do?" Maria asked. She hadn't done anything illegal.
"Maria, please come with us," Amy said to her in a strong motherly voice.
"Liz can you....?" Maria asked but was cut off by Liz.
"Go."
"Thanks, see you tomorrow?"
"Later."
Maria smiled at Liz and Alex. She, Amy and the Sheriff walked out to the police car and drove away.
When they had left Alex looked at Liz with worried eyes.
"Liz, what did they want?" Alex asked Liz nervous.
"I have no idea but I know it something big" Liz said. Even she was really worried and Liz Parker wasn't a person that was scared or worried easily.
"Yeah, did you look at Amy's face?" Alex said.
"It looked like she was going to have a breakdown" Liz said and looked over to the door as Tess, Kyle, Max, Michael and Isabel walked into the Crashdown. They walked straight to Liz and Alex, they had seen when Maria got into the police car with the Sheriff and Amy.
"Did Maria do something?" Isabel asked them.
"We don't know," Alex answered her, worried.
"I know Dad can help her with whatever it is" Kyle said to them trying to calm them down. He knew that they would all still be worried about Maria, though- since he felt the same way himself.
