Part 15.
"Michael please don't, I will go," Maria pleaded with him as tears ran down her face. She knew what they would do and she couldn't let them do that to him. She was the one that got them into this mess.
"Maria, I care about you and I promised your dad that I would take care of you," Michael aid to her as he wiped away the tears from her face.
"Michael please," Maria said to him. Michael saw that Maria was at breaking point, so he took her into his arms and hugged her hard.
"Max take care of her while I am gone," Michael said to Max while he held Maria in his arms.
Max walked up to Michael and nodded. Michael smiled a little at Max and then he moved Maria into Max´s arms. He hated leaving her like this, but he had to.
The whole group knew that Maria would fight hard to keep Michael from walking out that door. Michael took one more look at Maria and then started to walk out the door. He promised himself that he wasn't going to look back at her, because he knew that if he did then he wouldn't be able to leave, so he walked. Maria started screaming and tried to get out of Max´s hold. Alex and Kyle saw that Max had trouble to keep Maria in his arms so they walked over and helped Max. When the door closed, Maria slumped down in Max´s chest and cried.
Maria was so scared, she didn't know what to do. She had never felt so helpless as she felt this minute. Max took her in his arms and held her there. They both knew what they would do to Michael. Max hated to see Maria like this, it was like she had lost her entire soul. Maria cried for two hours before Max calmed her down. He lifted her up and carried her over to the bed, where he laid her down. Max sat down and pulled Maria´s head into his lap and started stroking his hand over her had. Liz and the others just watched, they didn't know what to say or do. Then after two more hours Michael came back, he was in the same condition as Maria was. Maria, Max, Kyle and Alex carried him over to one of the beds.
After about an hour of no change, Max and Maria told the others to get some rest and that they would watch over Michael. Maria and Max sat on the bed and looked at Michael's sleeping form. Max saw that this was tearing Maria up inside.
"He's going to be ok," Max said to Maria. Maria looked up at him with her eyes. The spark that had always been in Maria´s eyes was gone.
"He has to be, Max, I can't live without him," Maria answered. Just then, Michael started to wake up. Both Maria and Max jumped up to see if he was ok.
