Max stood there kinda relieved that she didn't like yell at him. He should of know she wouldn't be dressed or was away from in her bathroom which meant she might have been udressed. "I didn't see anything....really." He said lowering his head.
Liz looked at him softly, "Really, you didn't see anything?" She said wishing he didn't. How hard would it be if he had seen her to be around him after that. Knowing damn good and well that that is what he would be thinking about and imagining . Max looked at her and said those words that made her shiver. "accually i did...." What ever he said after that was useless. The love of her life just saw her topless. His face turned red again. She wasn't sure if it was because of what he saw, or if it was because he regretted it. She raised her arms to cross them infrom of her. I can't do this. "Did you want something?" she prompted him, as he stared blankly at her.
"To help. I told you i wanted to help you get caught up. With school, remember?" Max asked liz. He didn't want to over step bounds or something.
"Max i told you i didn't want any help. I am fine. I can do it all by myself. I am 18 now." Liz stood there kinda of cocky. She had told him once already she didn't need help and here he was. What was with this guy?
"Okay, then this is a pathetic attemp to be near you." Max stated clearly and plainly. He was tired of pretending not want her.
Liz rolled her eyes and flopped down on the bed. "Max, how many times are we going to have this conversation? I told you, I don't love you." She said and then swallowed hard. This wasn't going to be easy. "I don't think i ever really did. Sure you were exciting and cute, but now...." she paused both trying to think of 'if she should say this' and also trying to hold back tears. "You bore me." there she said it. She waited a moment before she looked up at max and saw that he was gone. She blinked, and her tears became visible. She fell back against the bed. That two minutes conversation took so much out of her. Shs grabbed a blanket off the end of her bed and curled up with it. Waiting for sleep to come to her, to take her away. But it might do no good. For her dreams were consumed by him. That man she keeps breaking pieces of his soul away.
Maria watched as Max walked pasted the TV and down the steps. "I am going to get popcorn." She said getting up from the couch.
Micheal grabbed her arm. "Maria."
"I know, but he is my friend now, a good friend. I just can't let him run off like that. I promise not to be long." She gave micheal a loose smile. "Look, your about to see some people get killed, if you dont' watch you will lose count." She smiled bigger. Micheal released her.
Max reached the bottom of the steps and felt his body want to fall. It was hard for him to try to keep his body from falling. His chest felt heavy. He just couldn't believe that the love of his life would say something like that to him. After everything they had experienced, he was boreing to her now. He reached a near by table in the kitchen, cluttered with pots and pans. He used it to brace himself on. He felt hurt and anger take a hold of his arm and in two seconds the table was cleared. The sound of clatters and pings and other metal hitting ground noises rang out through the kitchen.
"Max?" Maria said as she reached the bottom of the stairs. "Max? Whats wrong?"
"Nothing, i'm fine." Max said as he straighten himself and turned to her. "Sorry for the mess i will clean it up." He said as he bent over to arrange the pots and stuff . "I didn't mean to, i guess my arm just slipped."
"Yeah okay max tell me another one." Maria said as she too got down to help pick up the pots. "Max what happened?"
"Why don't you ask liz?" Max said with a hint of hatred in his voice. How could liz hurt him so. All he ever wanted was her, and for her to be safe. But mainly he wanted her in his arms.
"Because Liz won't tell me and you know that. So i ask you." Maria said grabbing a load of pots and stood to put them back upon the table.
Max stood putting the last of the pots on the table. The he turned and looked at her. A new tear formed in his eye. "She said i was exciting and cute at first, but now I'm boreing her." Max chocked and then wiped his face. Maria went into 'auto-friend mode' and took max in a comfort hug. Max willing let maria put her arms around him, and he inturn put his arms around her. He needed this. A hug. A simple thing that made him feel better about himself and who he was as a person. Maria was an excellant friend. They both stood there in that embrass of friendship for several minutes. They upon there release of each other, Max thanked her. "That was just what i needed. Thank you."
"Anytime Buddy!" Maria smiled and patted max upon his arm. Maria's thoughts weren't really on Max. She keeped going back to Liz. 'What was happeing to her?' She wondered.
"Well you best be getting back to Micheal." Max said smiling slightly.
"You be okay right?" Maria asked.
"Yeah go ahead, I am just going to go home." He replied. Max watched maria walk off and up the stairs. He stood there a few second before he himself went out the back and around the conner to his jeep.
Micheal sat there on the couch in a simi-daze trying to count the death toll when the phone rang. He picked up the reciever, "Hello, Parker residents."
"Micheal?"
"Hey alex. What cha want?"
"Is Maria there." he asked bothered by micheal's rudeness.
"Hold on." He said as he placed the phone down and paused the movie and went ot the top of the stairs. Maria was just coming up, "Maria Alex is on the phone for you."
Maria wasted no time, she ran up the steps and into the upstairs kitchen. "I'll get in here." She called to micheal who was back on the couch wating for her to yell to him to hang up the phone. "Okay!" She yelled.
Micheal picked up the phone. As he was about to place the phone down on it's base he heard a word that caught his attention, "alien." He place the phone an inch from his ear.
"Alex shhh! She doesn't know. I can keep a secret you know. I have kepted it for eighteen years now, do you really think i would tell Liz the secret now?" Maria said getting frustrated at an accusive Alex.
Alex began to become angered, "V. don't mess with me. You know...."
"Yeah i know, i do not plan on breaking our pack Okay!"
"None of them must know, UNDERSTAND! I know how you are when you start to freak out." Alex said to remind her of something.
"That isn't funny Rrr....Alex!" Maria shouted and hung up the phone. Micheal too hung up the phone. Maria stomped into the living room area.
"Is everthing okay?" Micheal asked maraia as she flopped down on the couch.
"Yeah, just alex......"
"Ahhhhhhh!!! Nooooo!" A scream came from Liz's room. Micheal and maria rushed to the door. Micheal got to it fisrt. He reached for the handle. But it wouldn't turn. "Ahhhh!" Liz screamed again. Micheal took a step back and charged the door. He made no effect. He took a step back again rasing his hand in the process. Nothing. His powers had no effect on the seeming to be jammed door. "Ahhhhhhhh! Noooooo! Val. Val. Val how could you do this!" Liz screamed. A light seemed to come from the cracks at the bottom of the door. White and filled with collors that swelled and flickered.
Maria was frozen, 'she knows', was all that passed through her mind.
Liz looked at him softly, "Really, you didn't see anything?" She said wishing he didn't. How hard would it be if he had seen her to be around him after that.
