Liz sat down at her computer later on that night
Liz sat down at her computer later on that night. It had been an exhausting eight hours at the café. She managed to calm Maria down and assure her that everything will turn out all right, but she felt unsure. How would things turn out? Isabel had made some new friends and was spending her time with them. Seeing Alex and having her old feelings resurface had left her confused and unsettled. She needed a rest from everything that was going on around her. Alex was off enjoying his newfound popularity with the girls. Ever since he returned, he had been drifting from the group.
Kyle and Tess were in the own little world, exploring their budding relationship. Who would have thought that they would make a good couple? A bomb could go off next to them and they wouldn't even notice. And to those that were having love problems, it was nauseating seeing those two together.
Maybe the group was falling apart. How could they get back together? There was always some crisis or another keeping them as a team, but now that they were at a peaceful moment everyone was going their separate ways. She needed to talk to E.T.. She logged into Chatmosphere and scanned the room once more. Normally she never met him at this time, but she was possessed. She couldn't go to bed without getting this off her chest. He was her voice of reason.
She almost laughed out loud as she saw his name in the list. She quickly brought up the chatbox wondering what he would say to her news.
AlienLuvR: I didn't know you came on at this time…
E.T.: I usually don't, but I had a lot on my mind.
AlienLuvR: I can't believe it is eleven already. With a day I've had, I thought it was later.
E.T.: Bad day?
AlienLuvR: You could say that… My friends are fighting, and my ex isn't dealing with it all too well.
E.T.: Why must it always be him to take care of all the problems that spring up?
AlienLuvR: …What do you mean?
E.T.: Sorry… Forget I said that. I've just had a bad day.
AlienLuvR: What happened?
E.T.: I… I'm just stuck trying to piece everything together. I have my family and friends at me for everything. I'm tired of it all. I want to let someone else take over.
AlienLuvR: You're stuck being the responsible one? That must be tough… I feel ashamed to say I have done the same thing to my ex…
E.T.: As long as you recognize it and try to help him out… It isn't easy to be a leader.
AlienLuvR: That's an odd way of putting it…
E.T.: Sorry… I can't really think straight.
AlienLuvR: Do you think… One of these days we could meet?
E.T.: Meet? Face to face?
AlienLuvR: Forget it. It is a stupid idea.
E.T.: It isn't, but I'm not sure if it is wise… You're the only friend I have that I can really talk to. I'm not sure if I want to jeopardize that.
AlienLuvR: I understand… I just need someone here. Nevermind…
E.T.: Nevermind? Hardly. I would love to be there for you, but it might complicate things.
AlienLuvR: Complicate things? In what way?
E.T.: It might make me want what I can't have.
AlienLuvR: Are you… saying you want me?
E.T.: The possibility is there. I don't want to go down that road, if that should happen. This past relationship is killing me.
AlienLuvR: Whoever left you for someone else was a fool… Just as I'm a fool for hurting the one person I love. I don't know how much longer I can hold out.
E.T.: Life and love is too precious to waste… No one has forever, so why not enjoy what you have for the moment..? Why worry about what the future might bring?
