Hope you enjoy nevertheless ;)
The distance it takes...
By Strange Music
I walk one step
And I am back at the Crash-side. The memories only dim. But I still see them. Isabel holding
my hand. Michael lost. And everything so strange and different. Almost frightful and scaring
me. But I tightened my grasp on Isabel's hand.
My sister
My strength.
My constant in a strange world.
And we went on.
I walk a second step
And I see Mum and Dad as they lived with us through the years. I always knew how lucky we
had been to have them as our parents. Because even when they aren't our true parents we
couldn't hope for any better. Not after all those years of love that they gave us. Not
after they made it possible for me and Isabel to stay together.
We could have gotten parents like Michael...or not have stayed together at all. I could
have lost here and never found here again.
But we didn't.
Because if them.
Because of the man that shouldn't really be making any repairs in the house and the woman
that cooked with a lot of love. Which was another way of saying that sometimes you just
were able to eat it because you love her back. Did Spaghetti truly have to be that salty.
She trusted me when I couldn't tell her my secret...our secret. But I know that it hurt her.
Actually now I wished I would have told her.
I walk a third step.
And I see Michael as we finally found each other again. Wanting to help him with Hank.
Knowing that I couldn't. The only thing I was able to was heal his wounds whenever he
appeared and lay out the sleepingbag for him. And be there for him when he would wake
up in wild fear searching for a hand that must in his dreams reached out to hurt him.
He is headstrong and stubborn. He is the only person can can ever make me angry. But
sometimes also the only one that makes me smile.
He was always as much my brother as Isabel was my sister.
I walk a fourth step.
And see Liz as she smiles at me. For all the trouble that it brought us. I never regretted
a single day that I saved her. Not a minute not a second. I never looked back and asked
myself 'what if'. Because I knew that I never had a true choice to make it different. Not
if I wanted to look into the mirror. And now even more. She is my love and my life. And I
don't care if I was married to Tess in another life. Because it was just that.
Another life.
And this is my life now.
And I am no longer the person I was back then. I don't care what a book says. Now I am Max
Evans and I am half human. Former rules do not apply to me anymore. I choose my life. And
my life is with her.
I walk a fifth step
And I reach the time that Maria and Alex reached our group. Maria and Michael. I guess if
there ever been a pair more fitting it were them. If they weren't as much in love with
each other. I guess they would have killed each other already. As I happen to like them
both I am happy they falling love. Michael needs someone like her. Someone that tell him
when he is behaving stupid. Sure that's what I do to. But I don't kiss him for making the
stinking words softer. And I actually don't have any intention to do so.
And Alex.
I guess no one would think bad of me when I would say that Isabel caught me by surprise
with that one. Not after the friends I had seen her hang around before. But I guess what
is different with Alex that it is actually someone that she doesn't look down to. Someone
she actually enjoys being with. I still remember what she told me about her other boyfriends.
If they were just stupid jocks it was a sign that she liked them. But Alex is good for her.
He draws her a bot to the ground. Thinks definitely work out in that direction.
I walk a sixth step
And I see Kyle and Valenti.
Hunting me.
Haunting me.
Sheriff Valenti almost revealing everything that we guarded to long.
And Kyle hating me for taking Liz away. And maybe for in a ways having to share his father
with me. It was a pity. Because the time we got drunk together he had turned out to be a
pretty decent guy. I know if things were different we might actually become friends.
And Valenti slowly becoming a person that I sense that I will be able to trust.
I walk a seventh step.
Tess.
I don't know what to with her. How to handle her. How to tell her that despite the dreams
she sent me. The moment she stops influencing me I was back to feeling nothing for her?
Like Michael and Isabel felt nothing like 'that' for each other. And for Tess I didn't even
feel like a sibling.
She was just.
A connection.
To our past.
To our future.
And I would be willing to give her a chance as our friend. But I do not love her. And I
doubt that I ever will.
I walk a eighth step.
And I reach the wall. The white wall that surrounds everything around me. Making me shiver
even when there is no cold in here. Making me strung up because I know something will happen.
Yet so far they have only let me wait. I know that they are watching me my reaction and I
know that I have to keep myself together. To be able to react when they finally came to pick
me up.
The Walls are not closing in on me even when it feels like they did.
They were still 8 steps apart.
I turn around and set my foot forward.
And I walk one step.
