Summary: Too short to say
Author's note: its a sad short fic.FB me and tell me if u want a happy ending.....but thats the story so far. Thanks!
It was night. The sun had already bid good morrow and now the reigning moon is king of the sky. The stars twinkling in obedience to its silent command to shine. And shine they did, but the stars were nothing but pecks in the dark sky alongside the gleaming lights and candles of the Roswell, making a the city a parallel sky on its own. The wind blew, dancing, swirling in the air wistfully swaying and moving the tendrils ofchocolate brown hair that cascaded around the slim shoulders of Liz Parker. Up all alone on her balcony, wrapped up in the warm security of her blanket.
Around her candles lay scattered and lit, casting a light glow about the roof. They were the only light present, the present use of modern technology not wanted. It was no time to look into today or tomorrow. Everything tonight revovled around the past. Somehow light bulbs weren't as useful as comic books showed they were. Liz's head was swarming with thoughts, binding themselves together in a fit of confusion. A cool breeze whipped past her and she shivered slightly, drawing the blanket closer. She leaned back on her lawn chair and came face to face with night sky. It was so easy for a normal human to think of the moon as a ruler and the stars as its subjects, if that human wanted to be poetic, but to someone who knew normal was an invalid in her life, Liz thought different. Her eyes immediately sought out the 'V' shape that branded the dark. There was a king out there but he was not the moon. He was a highschool student. An Alien. And his name was Max Evans.
Liz sighed in frustration when tears began to cloud her vision.She would not cry this time. She could not cry. It was astonishing she had any more tears to shed. She jerked her head away and turned it to the side. Hotness warmed her face. The candle was so close. Liz stared at the flame, straight and unmoving. Only slightly flickering once in a while and bending whenever the breeze bushed past. She began to compare her life with that candle. A normal teenager at first, heading straight to the top, a perfect daughter. The shooting, that bent her morals and beliefs and taught her the meaning of believing and opening doors of facinating, beautiful and sometimes dangerous things. After that ofcourse stabling again, falling inlove, and creating a life as normal as it could get. Then.......
Liz blew at the candle and it diminished. The final blow. Destiny and the end of the world. The wax is then left to drip and dry, and rot. Liz threw the blanket off her shoulders and got up in a huff.She walked silently, solemnly to her window and crept in. It was time. She could already hear the music downstairs and she knew in a matter of seconds Maria would come up to drag her down. It was....inevitable, and very very to the point because not only a bit later the knob of her door turned and Maria drifted in.
"Come on Chica the party's starting" Maria's smile could've lit up a room. And mixed with those clothes she was wearing it would more likely be a house. Everything on her sparkled. From her knee length red skirt and her dark green turtle neck to her red highheeled shoes accompanied with shining golden hair all wrapped up in a green scrunchie that looked like a wreath.
"Why Maria you look positively christmasy" Liz exclaimed in mock awe, putting her hands on her cheeks. Maria put a hand on her hip trying to look hurt, then recovered and crossed her arms across her chest.
"Well that's more than i can say for you missy" she scolded, whilst tapping her foot to emphisize her disappointement. Liz sighed and smiled slightly.
"I'm sorry Maria. I guess i'm not much in the holiday spirit as you are" and Maria immediately understood. She crossed the room and put an arm around her shoulders. Liz leaned into her hug for a minute before pulling back.
"It's ok Maria. I'll be fine" Liz tried to assure her but Maria only raised a skeptical eyebrow.
"Liz stop it. You have every right not to be fine" she took both her shoulders and gave her an intent stare "I just want you to be happy, even for a little while though" she finished softly. Liz drew her best friend in for a crushing hug before pulling back and ridding both her and Maria's clothing of the wrinkles.
"Can't afford look bad" and they both chuckled. Maria took Liz by the arm and led her down stairs. The party had started, people were dancing and tlaking, music was pumping and decorations along with food adn drinks lay everywhere. The Crashdown was packed and you could hardly find anyone in the crowd, but somehow......Liz managed.

LIZ POV
I saw him.
He saw me.
I couldn't help staring. God he looked sexy, and so so handsome.
He was over by the refreshments, holding a cup of punch standing beside his sister Isabel. They were talking but now he was only looking at me.
I wanted this to go on forever. That feeling when your the only two people in the room, in the world.. nad nothing else mattered but keeping your eyes on each other.
He looked away.
The spell was broken, and i almost cried.
Suddenly i was being pulled away, by Maria. I didn't know where we were going, and i didn't care.
"Liz! hey" it was Alex. He looked so cute in that red hat....and that red nose too. I laughed.
What was that sound i made?
"Chica. Earth to chica" Maria was waving her hand in front of my face trying to get my attention. I gave to her in the end.
"Huh? oh yea sorry Maria, guess i musta spaced out" i tried to explain but i could see her gaze drift behind me. I knew who she was looking at.I managed to pull on a happy face.
"Hey Alex. Hay fever acting up again?" we all laughed and for a moment everything bad that happened in my life was gone.
"Tsk tsk Liz. i'm the one supposed to be making everyone laugh around here" Alex scolded me. I knew he was playing.
"Well then keep it up, you're doing a mighty fine job of it so far" I countered. They laughed again. Now i know how Alex feels everytime someone laughs at his jokes. It feels damn satisfying and warm.
"Alex i think you've got some competition" I heard Michael. He making his way towards us...well more directly towards Maria.
"Hey spaceboy what's happening" Maria greeted him right before she was swooped into his arms for a long deep kiss.
It all came crashing back. I wish i wasn't so vulnerable to tears. I wish those tears didn't know that.
I sucked in my breath, my heart plummeting, and looked away as a shiver ran down my spine.
It wasn't cold.
His eyes burned the back of my head. I knew then that he saw the public display of affection between Maria and Michael.
I remember when we used to do that.
I remember when you used to love me i told him in my head.
I wondered if he head me because i could not feel him anymore.
Maria and Michael left to dance somewhere. Alex was left, but he appeared to be staring at someone beyond me.
I knew who it was even before i turned around. Isabel. She was wearing a red dress, red highheeled shoes and her blonde hair ran over her shoulders. Red suited her i noticed, and apparently so did Alex. It seemed though that he was reluctant to leave me alone.
"Go Alex. I believe you shouldn't keep a lady waiting" i told him with a telling tone, smiling to encourage him. Alex needed no further push. He was off and i was left alone.
I stood there for a moment. Contemplating. Trying to keep the hurt at bay.
The bells jingled.
I turned to look at the newcomers and my heart broke broke to even smaller pieces.
They seperated as soon as they entered and one of them was coming right towards me. I swallowed a lump in my throat. When i spoke, my voice was hoarse and soft, making it sound anguished. And i was.
"Hey Kyle"

MAX POV
When i saw her i sucked in my breath in awe.
She was beautiful.
I knew were she was as soon as she stepped through the back door and into the party.
And it appeared that it was the same with her.
The first thing i saw where her eyes. And mine own locked on them.
I was drowning.
I couldn't look away from those mesmerising brown pools. I had the overwhelming urge to just walk over there and take her in my arms. Just to feel her around me. Warm. Sweet.Small in my embrace.
I shook myself mentally. I cursed myself.
Betrayl and guilt etched her lovely featured and i couldn't stop my heart from rising into my throat and plummeting right back down into my stomach.
It was too much.
I looked away.My attention back on Izzy.
She was saying something. I wasn't really listening.
She was probably just remarking on every person's outfit. She has that critical eye on her, so i guessed.
"And look at her, i mean who where's this skirt with that...that thing you can't even call a blouse" I turned my attention to her just in time to hear her say.
Isabel pointed at the little red head slow dancing with a tall guy with a faint goatee.
"Yea" i put my two cents in.
I just wanted to be left alone. Isabel didn't respond. Infact she didn't say another word.
I turned to her and saw her eyes fixed on distant figures i hadn't the will to look at.
I did.
I almost choked.
Michael and Maria were kissing like there was no tomorrow, and everyone including Liz was watching on.
I turned my eyes to her. I felt as if i could burn two holes in the back of her head.
This was us Liz, i thought to her.
What happened?
She was speaking to Alex. He was now walking over to Isabel.
I'm forgotten.
I wanted to walk over there and talk to her. Demand answers.
The truth. No more lies. I know she lied to me. I know she loves me.
I just want to know why she hurt me. I decided to face her, right now.
The bells jingled.
I looked to the door. Two people walked in. I froze.
They parted at the entry. One of them was headed straight for me. The other.......I looked the other way.
"Hey Max" Tess was beside me now. I barely noticed. I only had eyes for Liz.
And Kyle.
Well, there goes my determination. And my hope.

THE END have a merry xmas guys!
