Part 20.
After a long time Maria became calm, well almost calm. She still couldn't seem to move or speak. Michael picked her up and carried her out to one of the cars there. Everyone except the Sheriff piled into their cars and drove to Michael's apartment.
************
Michael carried Maria up to his apartment and laid her down on his bed. Michael sat down on the bed beside her and started stroking her hair. The others just stood and watched, they didn't know what to do or say. Liz looked at her friend and felt tears running down her face but she didn't care about that. All she cared about right now was Maria. Max looked over at Liz and saw that she was crying. He walked up to her and pulled her into his arms.
"What kind of friend am I?" Liz cried into his chest.
"Liz, you are a great friend," Max said as he rested his chin on her head.
"How can you say that when Maria is the way she is?" Liz said to him and looked over at Maria and Michael who was just stroking her hair.
"Liz, this is not your fault," Max said and hugged her harder. Liz looked around the room and saw that Alex was hugging Isabel and Kyle hugged Tess. Liz looked up at Max and tried to smile but she just couldn't. It was like her worst nightmare had come to life. Now she knew how Maria felt when she saw that Liz has been shot. True, Maria wasn't shot, but she was laying there like she was dead or something. It broke Liz's heart to imagine how Michael felt at this moment. He was the one who loved Maria with all his heart. No one had seen him as depressed as when Maria disappeared. Liz was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice that Michael and the others were moving into the kitchen area, away from Maria. Liz looked up at Max and took a hold of his hand. They went over to the others. Michael looked like he had been run over by a truck.
"So what are we going to do?" Alex asked.
TBC.
