As max's head came back to the real world. He became more and more confussed. "Why is this happening? What is going on?" Max thought to himself. She laid there in a stillness that scared him, but yet he know so much was happening. "But what?" he reluntantly moved away from Liz. He needed to think. He stepped out side of her room and sat down in one of the chairs that lined the hall. He glanced up and saw Everyones gloomy faces. They were all there, enjoying themselves at theit friends party. When all of a sudden, she falls down unconciuos. Max's mind was reiling from his encounter. But some thing was confusing him. Some thing Liz said. "We...." What did she mean by we?, i thought. I needed to find out what is she going through. I was about to speak to our friends when....
A silent voice came from the door way of liz's room. "Can i have some water?" She said so weakly. Max's eyes shout fromt he floor to her in a second.
"Liz! Ohmigod" He gasped as he was up to her in a second. It took all he had no to grab her in his arms and kiss her. "Liz? Are you okay? How do you feel? What do you need?" max asked franticly wanting to help. A silence filled the room. All of their friends had gathered, and many of them were crying. They were crying both brcause Liz was awake, and of the sweet scene that played out infront of them.
Liz smiled, she didn't think he would care that much. She knew Max still worried for her. She knew they were still friends, and maybe that was all this was. Just one friend worried about another. "I wanna go home Max. We're are my parents?" Liz asked searching over the crowd of people that gathered about her.
TWO DAYS LATER...
After tons of tests and ugly pokes and prauds, Liz was ready to go home. She ready two hours before her parents were came and to get her. Liz was always like that. She never knew why. She sat on the hospital bed til her parents came. She was bored. A nurse came in and made a comment, "You must really want out of here." the nurse chuckled. "You have no idea." Liz said with a small smile.
"Well I could give you a lift?" i male voice came as he entered the room.
"Max?" Liz said puzzled. "Why are you here?" Liz asked.
"Cause my favorite waitress isn't where she is supposed to be." He smiled giving her a white orchid. "Hope you are feeling better?" he prauded her with a question. He would come to see her and she would brush him off. He doesn't even know what the doctor's final say was in liz's dianosis. Was she sick? Was she getting better? All those questions stroked Max's brain with uncertainty. Did she even want him to know? "I thought i would go see you at the Crashdown, but when i got there they told me that they havent' even vome to get you yet. So i offered." Max smiled, know that Liz knew this was a lame attemp to talk to her.
"Oh" was all Liz could say at first. She tried to think of something to say back to him. "Well lets go then." she said turning off the room's TV. She stood up and fixed her shirt, tucked her hair behind her ear. Max just stared. Then followed as she left the room.
In the elevator, Max found his opurtunity. "Liz?", he spoke. She turned her head to him. "I want to know what the doctor said." he continued bluntly.
"He didn't say much. It is a new cancer, he said that there wasn't much he was able to do. That i could go home, while he devise a treatment with a few of his fellow doctor friends." Liz stated plainly, like if she was reciting a grociery list. Max was stunned. "There isn't anything to worry about." she said turning her face away from him.
"Liz?" Max questioned her. Liz put her hands to her face and began to sob and shake violently. Max wasted no time. He took her in his arms and began to try to sooth her. While decending in the elevator with liz, he reached over and put his hand on the controls. The elevator stopped. Dead. Between floor two and three.
"Max you don't have to..." Liz began, peeping her face away from max's chest to see what he had done.
"Shhh! You need to just let it out. Cry. Curse. Whatever. Right here, right now. You can't keep it bottled. It will destroy you. Trust me i know." He smile to the top of her head.
