The Unknown Lie.... Dear Diary, Hi, it's me again. God this seems so weird. It has been a very long time since i sat in this chair and wrote to you. I have been up to alot. I went to florida on my summer vaction. It was fun, but i was so depressed. You know about walking away from Max. I thought it was the best thing to do, and by the events that has lead to after it, proves my theory. Max and i aren't meant to be. I never really thought i would ever say that and mean it, but I do. Here recently i got a visitor, from the future, i know, totally weird. But a future version of Max appeared at my window. Asking for my help, asking me to turn ever thing I dreamed about for the last year, he asked me to push Max away. To make him stop loving me, to make him fall out of love with me. Because I didn't, the world would end...... "Liz, chica? Are you coming down stairs? We are about to cut the cake." Liz's best friend said as the peeked in threw Liz's bedroom door. "What are you doing? Writing in that old silly thing agian I see. Another page in the Alien touched me, now i can't stop from...." "Maria, stop it! You know it ain't like that." Liz said putting her pen and diary down on her desk. "I'll be down in a minute." "Well better hurry, Alex is about to eat the icing." maria said touching her friend on the shoulder with sympathy. She knew what it was like for liz. She too, was going through it touch with a certain nameless alien. "Tell alex to at least save me a rose." liz said with a smile and putting her hand over maria's. Liz then watched as maria walked over and out her bedroom door. She felt like crying, she felt so bad about hurting max like she did. The whole situation was awful, it wasn't the fact she was going to be lonely for rest of her life, it was she hurt max so much. The hurt she saw in his eyes was so horrible. She wanted to get out. Run to the city highway and climb aboard the first willing trucker. Just to get away from their stares, those hatred stares. Even Tess with her arms draped all overhim, gave her hateful looks. Even Tess thought she was a horrible person. 'well abou time i get down there.' liz thought as she walked pass the mirror. Checking on her hair, making sure it was nice and neat, 'like ne one would care' she thought with aheavy sigh. As she made her way down the stepes she saw a soft glow of candles, and heard soft hushes of " her she comes, shhhh!" It made her smile. 'At least i have friends.' she thought noticing the light sqeeks of the stepes as she placed each foot on them. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" the crowd of people cheered from behide a poorly decorated table with a shinning cake. The candles light the room dimmly, and gave away no surprizes of who was there. Maria was next to Alex, and him next to Isabel, then her next to Micheal, which had a grim 'why am i here?' face. Then there were my parents, next to him. It was so nice to see them all, here wishing me a happy birthday. I almost didn't even think about it, until i thought of how perfect the night was, that max was missing. He didn't even come to say happy birthday. I felt my eyes water and fill with tears. "OH dear are you okay?" Liz's father asked reaching for her hand. Liz didn't reach back, and just plainly said while wipping away the tears, "Yeah i guess i am so happy that you all could come. Thank you all. This is the best birthday." As liz looked atound the room she noticed Isabel giving her a 'how do you think you are fooling' look, 'you know you are crying cuase the dick head of a brother of mine isn't here.' Isabel sighed, then perked up trying to get liz out of her funk. "Hey Blow out the candles before they burn the cake." she said reaching over to liz and held back her hair as liz lend forward and with a heavy breathe blow all the candles out. "What did you wish for Liz?" Alex asked, being his usual self. "I can't tell you, then it wouldn't come true." liz said with a half smile. Oh it is almost time!" liz's father yelped from over the table. Ever since she was little her father counted down to exactly when liz was born, they would all gather to watch his watch turn 8:55 pm. He always said that you truely weren't a year older until the time you were accually born. "Five, four, three, two, ONE!" he chanted and then clapped his hands. "OH MY GOD, SOMEONE GET CALL 911! " Isabel rushed to liz's side as she felt to the floor in a second. **When dad was doing his silly count down to my eightteenth birthday thing, i felt a really weird tingle feeling start at my chest and move outward through my body, it intencified. Got worse, at first i thougt it was nerves. But now, i know it wasn't. "Five, four, three, two, ONE!" It got so bad everything went black, the pain came in surges. And I couldn't take it. i collasped.** At the hospitol..... "doctor what is it is she okay?" both jeffery and nancy parker said at the same time as the doctor came into the waiting room. "At this point we are not sure. But we have noticed an abormality in her blood. It seems to be a cancerious cell that attackes her normal cells and mutates them." the doctor said plain faced. "What do you mean, cancer? She has cancer?" nancy said frantically. "By the lookes of it, yes, but we are running tests." he said, "sorry we don't have nething else on this. It seems to be a new form of cancer....." ~~~~Emergency!! Doctor Grind, report to the O.R.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "sorry folks that is me, i will talk to you later." the doctor said rushing passed them adn on to the O.R. "Oh god! Jeffery what are we going to do?" nancy said crushing her face into her husband shoulder. "I don't know hun, i don't know." he siad with tears in his eyes. His only daughter lied motionless in the hospital bed a door down from them. Meanwhile at the Evans house.,,,,, "Isabel, how was the party?" Dian asked seeing her daughter come in so early. "Isabel are you crying?" Isabel slowly came in the door, and when she heard her mother ask if she was crying, she threw her self in her arms. "Oh god mom it is so awful....Liz..... had a secerure or an attack of some kind, and now she is lying in a hospital bed, unconcious, and they think it is cancer. Momma i was so scared, " isabel cry out loudly. Max sitting in his room sulking heard his sisters crys and came out to investigate. "Isabel what is wrong? What happened?" he asked perplexed. isabel wasted no time moveing from her mother to max in a very strong hug. "Oh max!" Max confussed by his sister's actions, pulled isabel's jaws of life arms away from his body to look at her in the eyes. "Isabel what is wrong?" max asked fearing the worst. "It liz, max, Liz is in trouble." I said wipping tears away. an hour past..... "Maria! Alex! What happened?" max yelled as he rushed passed a nurse who was trying to ask him guestions. "OH thank god you are here. Liz had a attack..." maria began as max rushed to her and gave her a hug. "Yeah they think it is cancer, max." alex finished. "Can i see her, where is she?" max asked releaseing maria from his frantic comfort hug. "Ummmm.... she is right in there." maria pointed to the door. "Are you going to do something, like magic, cause if you are i stand gaurd. " i don't know. " max said makeing his way to the door. He enjoyed maria crazy logic, but he truely didn't know if he could do ne thing. "Max! What are you doing here?" nancy said as max rushed in the door. "Hi, i am here to see her. Has she woken up yet?" max asked sprinting to the bed side opposite of the Parkers. "No not yet, but the doctors are hopeful. It should be soon." jeffery said while rubbing his wife's shouder for surport. Max looked down at Liz's frozen frame in the bed. He reached out a hand and touched her cheek. "OH god how could i have let this happen?" he asked himself. "Max it wasn't your fault, no one saw this coming." Nancy said feeling herself choke up. "I need some air." "I'll go with you." jeffery said knowing that he needed to be with his wife, and max need to see liz byhimself. "Yell if nething happens." jeff told max. "sure" was all max could musturd to say. He turned his attention fully to Liz. Lying there in the bed. H bent over the arm rails. "God, i am so sorry i wasn't there to save you. I am sorry i flaked on your birthday party, i was just so mad at you." max said as he felt the tears rush to his eyes and down his cheeks. "What am i supposed to do, how can i save you?" He closed his eyes and wipped each one. he knew he had to try. Looking behind him at the door makeing sure the coast was clear. he placed a hand apon liz's thin hospital garmet. Feeling her slightly warm skin underneath. He looked down at her, making a connection. *** inside liz's body *** Max's vision was blurry, but it slowly gained focused, but it did no real good. All he could see was darkness. Excepted far off, he could make out a small figure. LIZ! "Liz!" he yelled running toward her. But as he got with in 5 feet of her, he felt a punch and he fell back. He stood quickly, knowing right off it was liz who did it. He tried to come closer to her again and he was stopped. "Liz why wouldn't you let me near you?" "because what shall be, will be, and nothing you can do to change that. You changed me and my life, now you must learn to move on, and that you can't save everyone." liz said with a mono tone of no emotions. "What in the hell does that mean." max asked. "Let me save you. please." max pleaded. "NO it is forbiden." liz said "Why?'' Max asked. "Becasue what shall be, will be, and what we want will happpen. Now leave this body to it's task." and with that liz throw her arms up and max disappeared. Max jumped back away from liz in a cold sweat. "What the....."
