Part Ten
Max sat Liz down on his bed, in his home. She had finally calmed down and was now sleeping peacefully. Max ran his fingers through his hair, totally stressed, wondering about what was up with Liz. He looked up when he heard the door open and saw Isabel run through.
"Max! I have something to tell you. Liz ran off and nobody can find her!" Isabel told Max, nervously.
"Isabel, it's okay. I have her," Max told his sister, trying to get her to calm down. "But she won't tell me what's wrong. Tell me, please!" Max begged his sister.
"I don't know, Max. After you left, her parents went in to talk to her and the next thing I knew she just ran out, crying." Isabel said.
"Maybe I should take her back." Max said, worried about Liz and her parents.
"Yeah, I think you should. You know, just--"
"No. I don't want to go back! And you can't make me." Liz said. She tried to run past Max and Isabel, only to be pulled back against Max. She tried to beat him away, only to start crying again. Max pulled Liz into a hug and felt her shudder each time she took in a breathe.
Max almost started crying. His Liz was upset and he didn't even know why, she wouldn't let him in. He lifted up her chin so she could look him in the eyes.
"Liz, I need you to tel me what's wrong. I can't take this." Max said. Liz looked into his eyes and saw all the sadness she was causing him to have. She stood up on her tip-toes and lightly brushed he lips against his, in a reassuring kiss.
"Let's sit down." She said. She took his hand and brought him over to his bed and sat down next to him. "Well, you know how my parents were going to make me marry Kyle?" Liz asked Max. He nodded. "They told me this morning that I wasn't going to anymore."
"Why would you be upset about that? Wouldn't that mean we could be together?" Max had to know. Why would she be upset about Kyle? Did she want to be with him?
Liz climbed up on his lap. "Oh God, Max. If only it was that easy." She pulled him into a tight hug and whispered, "You don't have to worry about me wanted to be with somebody. I've already found my soulmate in you." Max pulled back in surprise, "How did you know I was thinking that?" Liz smiled, "It's because we're already one, Max. Always and forever." Their lips met in a sweet kiss. Isabel notice how they had already gotten off the subject and thought, **Geez, I wonder if they'll always be like this.** She smiled knowing Max and Liz would be together no matter what. Isabel coughed to break the couple out of their 'love session', " I know you two would rather make-out than talk, but we should probably let Liz finish her story."
Max and Liz blushed, Liz climbed off of Max's lap and sat next to him, holding his hand.
"Okay...So my parents said I'm not going to be with Kyle because, according to them, he isn't rich enough for our family. They're already looking for someone else for me." Liz's eyes started fogging up with tears, at the thought of not being with Max. She felt Max tighten his hold on her hand, looked up and saw him mouth, "I love you" to her. " I love you, too." Liz mouthed back. Isabel saw the looks between the two and decided to break it up before anything else happened.
"Why don't you just try to talk to your parents about Max?" Isabel suggested. Max turned to Liz, "Yeah. We could explain to them how we feel about each other."
Liz shook her head at them. " You don't understand my parents. They don't believe in love, only that people should marry for money. They wouldn't like what's going on with Max and I."
"Liz, could we at least try? Please for me?" Max gave Liz the 'sad puppy face' he knew she wouldn't be able to resist. Liz laughed at his tactics but had to agree. "Okay, but I won't promise you anything good will come out of this." Liz took Max's hand and the two of them walked off the the castle.
