Part 21.
Alex was upset. It was practically his kid sister laying on that bed. He was the one that checked out her dates and helped her with homework, boy problems, and took care of her when her father left.
"I don't know, Alex," Isabel said to him sadly. She was also upset. It was one of her girlfriends that was laying there. Sure, she had girlfriends like Pam Troy, but Maria, Liz and Tess were real girlfriends. They knew everything about her life and she knew everything about theirs.
"We have to do something," Alex said, frustrated.
"Alex, there is nothing we can do," Isabel answered.
"Isabel, we have to help her!" Michael said or pleaded with her.
"Well, what are we supposed to do?" Isabel asked.
"Izzy, she hasn't moved an inch since I laid her down, she won't say a thing" Michael said in a hopeless voice as he pointed at Maria.
"We can't do anything" Max said and laid a hand on Michael's shoulder.
"I just feel so god damn helpless!" Michael muttered, running a hand through his hair in frustration.
"Let's just be there for her, and never leave her alone," Max suggested, looking around the room.
"So, is the sheriff going to tell Amy?" Tess asked.
"yea, but I have decided that she is going to stay here, in my apartment" Michael said to them.
"Um…Isn't Amy going to…object?" Kyle asked and raised an eyebrow. He knew that Amy was very protective of Maria, especially when it came to Michael.
"Yes, but I think she'll understand," Max said and smiled at Michael.
"I hope so," Liz said.
"Who is going to take the first shift?" Kyle asked them.
"I can do that, you all go home," Michael told them, walking over to Maria and sitting beside her.
"OK, Michael, we'll be here tomorrow at noon to relieve you," Max said and moved over to the door.
"'Night," Michael said to them.
"Later," Max said as the others left, leaving Michael alone with Maria. He lay down next to her, took her into his arms and fell asleep.
