Part 4
"What?" Max said in disbelief.
"She didn't go home last night, she's not at my house, Alex's or Michael's" Liz said to him.
"She must have been really angry" Max said
"About what?"
"She and Michael had a big fight last night and she walked away" Max explained.
"We are talking about Maria DeLuca here, right?" Liz asked. Maria wasn't a person that gave up a fight easily.
"Yeah, Liz, I have never seen her so sad," Max said. He felt guilty. If he had gone after her, this would never had happened.
"Max, she's really gone," Liz said and cried even harder.
"Liz I will be at your place in 10 minutes, OK?" Max said.
"OK, bye," Liz said.
"Bye." Max said and hung up the phone. He got dressed and woke Isabel up. They drove over to Michael's and picked him up. When they got to the Crashdown they saw that Liz was in the diner alone. They walked in and went straight to Liz. She was sitting at the counter.
"Liz," Max said as the approached her
"Hey Max," Liz said.
"Have you called Alex, Tess, Kyle and the Sheriff?" Isabel asked her.
"Yea, they are on their way," Liz said and wiped away a few tears from her cheek.
As she said that they walked into the Crashdown. Liz ran over to Alex and hugged him. He took her into his arms and held her there.
"She's gone Alex, she's really gone…I just know it!" Liz wailed.
"It'll be OK, Liz. She'll come back," Alex said to her. Alex was trying to be brave in front of Liz but on the inside he was hurting just as much. Max and the others just stood there and watched as the two friends hugged each other. Alex let Liz go.
After they all had calmed down a little more, they talked and decided that the Sheriff was going to put out an APB. They all searched for her, but Maria Rose DeLuca was nowhere to be found.
A week went by. Everyone was miserable, not to mention guilty without Mara. Michael just avoided everyone. He was convinced that Maria's disappearance was his fault, and the fact that Maria had left right after he yelled at her just proved it. No one said anything about Brian DeLuca or Maria's sister. A week turned into a month, and the month turned into six. Everyone had begun to accept that Maria was never coming back home.
But then one Monday morning the Sheriff called Liz.
"Hello?" Liz said into the receiver.
"Hello Liz, it's Sheriff Valenti. I have some good news. We found Maria," he said.
"Where is she?" Liz asked frantically.
"She's here at the police station, she's…in jail."
"What!" Liz asked confused.
"Just get everyone down here now and talk to her before I have to release her" the Sheriff said tightly.
"We'll be right there, thank you so much Sheriff" Liz said and hung up the phone.
