Part Twelve
Liz burst into Maria's home. "Where's Max?" Liz asked hurriedly.
"Liz, I'm right here." Max called. Liz walked over and jumped into Max's arms.
"Max, we have to leave. Run away. Get away from here." Liz whispered into his ear.
"When?" was the only thing he asked. Liz pulled away from him, "You're not upset that we have to leave?"
"Not if i'm with you. As long as we're together, everything will be fine." Max said, pulling Liz into another hug. Liz sighed, "I hope so." Liz kissed in the place of Max's heart and then turned around to face everybody else, but staying in Max's embrace.
"Max and I have to leave tonight and we'll need your help." Liz told everyone.
"Of course, Lizzie. What do you guys need?" Maria asked.
"Wait, wait, wait!!! Maria wait are you doing? Liz wants to run away with a guy neither of us has met and you just agree. What is wrong with you?" Alex screamed at his sister.
"Alex, I need to get away from here, from my parents and running away is the only choice." Liz said, trying to get her friend to understand.
"Why, Lizzie? What's the problem that's making you run away? Why can't it be solved?" Alex asked.
"It's...........because.......um......I'M PREGNANT!" Liz just blurted outloud, even though it wasn't true.
"WHAT?!?!" Everyboy including Max screamed out. Max spun Liz around. "Liz what do you mean your pregnant? That doesn't make any sense!" Max asked hysterically. Liz grabbed his hand and pulled him into a room, "We'll be right back." Liz closed the door and turned towards Max to find him pacing the room. She giggled at how he was acting and wondered if that's how he would act if she really were pregnant. Max looked at her. "What are you laughing? I want to know how this happened." Max said. Liz sat down on Maria's bed and patted the space next to her, "Sit," she commanded. Max sat next to her, shaking. Liz smiled, "Max, it's a lie. I'm not pregnant, ok? I just told them that so they would help us." Liz looked at Max's face and all the emotions that passed over Max's face. Sadness was the last one she saw.
"Max, what's wrong?" Liz asked.
"Well, I'm just a little upset that it was a lie. I mean, I know it's impossible because we haven't done anything to make it true, but I was excited that.....Never mind, it's really stupid. Let's go out there." Max started to stand up, when Liz pulled him back down. "Tell me, Max. Please I want to know." Max smiled and sat back down, but not without pulling Liz into his lap. "It got me to thinking about our future. You know, us together married, kids. It got me excited, because I knew that our children are going to be beautiful, just like their mother." Max looked at Liz and saw her smiling. "What?" he asked.
"You think about our future? Kids?" Liz asked.
"Well, yeah. I know we'll be together. Why does that bother you?" Max asked.
"Of course not. I can't wait for our future together, Max. It's going to be great." Liz kissed Max. She knew it could get out of control because there were other people in the house, but Max had a different idea. He fell back on the bed and flipped them so he was above her. "So.....wanna start our future?" Max said, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. Liz giggled and then pretended to be thinking about Max's suggestion.
"Well, I guess getting an early start wouldn't hurt." Liz replied, while nibbling on Max's neck. Max moaned and then brought Liz's lips to his. They were bother so caught up in each other that they didn't notice that Alex, Maria and Isabel had walked in the room.
"AHHHH!!! You guys, there's no need to do that on my bed. Isn't that what go you into this mess in the first place?!" Maria screeched at Max and Liz.
"I knew it! I knew they wouldn't be able to be in a room alone for too long!" Isabel said, laughing.
"Alex spoke up, but wasn't looking at the couple, "Are you guys dressed and everything? Can I open my eyes?" Liz and Max blushed at what the three of them had been suggesting. Liz walked up to Alex, "So are you willing to help us now?" She asked him.
"I guess i have no choice, as long as you guys make me an uncle!" Alex replied. An hour later they had everything figured out. Liz and Max were staying in an old cabin that Alex and Maria knew about, where nobody would be able to find them. Isabel had gone over to the castle and taken Chocolate, Liz's horse, so the couple could ride off together.
As Max was helping Liz up onto the horse, Liz gave Maria and Isabel hugs and turned to Alex and kissed him on the cheek. As she hugged him she whispered in his ear, "Oh, by the way, Alex. I'm not pregnant. I was lying." Liz jumped up on the horse and Max and Liz rode off towards their new life.
