Michael glanced in his rearview mirror, just once, quickly. In that brief amount of time he caught a glimpse of Maria watching his car retreat with a confused look on her face. The sight of this beautiful woman in pain all because of him caused yet another layer of ice to fall away from his heart. In a split second his foot was off the gas and slamming down on the brakes. He turned over his shoulder and backed haphazardly down the street back to where Maria stood in her driveway. He threw the car in park and ran out, stopping a few feet short of where Maria stood.

"I had to come back...I know I can't keep running away every time I get scared. It's not going to be easy but I'm willing to try. The big question is are you willing to take me back? After all I've done am I still worth it?"

"Michael it's always been you. And you warned me from the beginning about the dangers of getting involved. But I'm in too deep now...I need you. And even if I wish I could just forget you, I can't deny the fact that you do matter to me. You always have; you always will."


THE END


Author's Note: I kinda forgot about the whole disclaimer thing, so here it is- I do not own Roswell. I guess as of recently they belong to UPN, and formerly to the WB. Also, I know that each chapter is kind of short, but this is my first fic and I wasn't too great with the layout of it. Next one'll be better I promise! Sorry about the wait on the last chapter!
