Chapter 4: Crash and Burn
A year ago if someone would have told me that I would be pouring my heart and soul out to Tess Harding, I probably would have laughed in their face. Not that I didn't like Tess or anything… we just weren't close. We always had this thing between us, whether if it were our vying for Max's attention or love, or just this whole destiny in general. We didn't get off on the right foot, and we just weren't close. There's no other way to describe our previous relationship.
"Liz?" Kyle questioned softly, concern etching his features and pouring through his voice. It had been fifteen minutes since Liz had agreed to tell them what happened, and for the past fifteen minutes, she had been staring blankly ahead, not really seeing anything. Tess and Kyle watched as the cloudy look in Liz's eyes began to disappear as she began to focus her gaze on them.
"Huh?" She was obviously still dazed, "Oh. Yeah. Sorry."
Liz looked at Kyle and Tess before moving her eyes back to the clock that hung above them. "This may sound farfetched, and you don't have to believe me, but I'm telling you the truth."
And with that said, Tess and Kyle shared a glance before looking back at Liz who seemed to slip back into her memories as the past washed over her, her voice sounded distant even to her own ears.
"I guess I should start from the beginning. After we learned Max's destiny, I was devastated, but I knew I had to leave him. I had to break his heart and mine so that he could become the great leader he was, the leader I know he can be. But when I got back from Florida, nothing had changed, and Max was more intent on winning me back than ever."
Flash
You can hide, you can run, you can do whatever. But know one thing Liz Parker; I'm coming for you.
"I tried to stay away from him, believe me I tried, but he wouldn't leave me alone. He seemed to have more faith in our love than I did. Every time I pushed him away, he would come back stronger than before. He was so devastatingly charming, handsome, and so convincing. His belief in our love was so strong, and he had me beginning to believe. My resolve was slipping, because all in all, I just wanted to be with him. I wanted to feel his arms around me and not have to think about this whole other planet that's counting on him, just the feel of security I always found in his arms. He was winning, and I was letting him. Until that one night." Liz paused momentarily, and her breath hitched in her throat as her eyes glazed over, and the burning sensation in her eyes grew stronger.
"Maria had decided that it was time for Alex and I to liven up a bit. Alex had just received another friendship speech from Isabel, and I was totally confused with the whole Max situation and to appease Maria, we went to see this stupid psychic of hers. And when it was my turn, she told me the most wondrous thing. In her own way she told me that Max had chosen love over destiny. He had chosen me and we would be happy."
Yeah, he has this whole other destiny...one that doesn't include me.
No. He chooses love.
What?
He chooses you.
"When I got back home, I was so happy, practically walking on thin air." In Liz's mind, the all too familiar scenes began to resurface for what seemed like the thousandth time.
Flash
I, Liz Parker, take Max Evans to be...
Flash
No, no, I don't...I don't know who you are, but you...you're not Max.
Flash
No! No! There is no such thing as time travel, ok...because it is against every rule of physics, of reality, of everything.
Flash
No, you're not Max, ok? You...you're like a shapeshifter. You are like some other kind of alien, with, like, the ability to look like Max with that beard and those...and those grey hairs.
Flash
If I were a shapeshifter, there's no way I could tell the future. In approximately 10 seconds, I will show up outside your window and begin singing to you...accompanied by a mariachi band.
A mariachi band. Max wouldn't do anything that cheesy.
Flash
As I threw the flowers up to you, I remembered you preferred white roses.
Flash
Why are you here?
I can't tell you too much, Liz...only what you need to know...but 14 years from now, we are taken over by our enemies.
Flash
Liz, what's about to happen over the next few days is critical to the history of this planet. Things between us are about to change...grow deeper. We become inseparable, and nothing comes between us ever again, until...
The...the end of the world?
Flash
The closer that you and I grew, the worse it got with Tess, and eventually she left Roswell.
Because of me?
Because of me, and how I treated her. And it turned out Tess was critical to our survival. The four of us - Michael, Isabel, Tess, and I...we made a complete unit. We all had different gifts, and with one of us missing, we weren't as strong, and everything fell apart.
Flash I need you to help me fall out of love with you.
Flash
I need to talk to Tess.
Flash
Yeah, I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for Max. His future's you.
Flash
So, um...did we get married?
Flash
We eloped. We were 19.
Flash
That's what I said, but you said that Romeo and Juliet were even younger than us, so we drove to Vegas. Got married at the Elvis chapel. Congratulations, kids.
Flash
Oh, we had a great wedding. You called Maria, Michael, Isabel, and Alex, and had them meet us halfway. We spent the whole night singing and dancing in some dive outside Phoenix, and at the end of the night, "I Shall Believe" came on the radio.
I love that song.
I know. Everyone else was exhausted, but not us. Oh, we danced...just the two of us. And ever since then, it's been our song.
If this works...I'm not gonna have that day.
Flash
I felt that...and I know you did, too, and I know you think that...that I need to let you go...for the sake of Michael, and Isabel, and my race...so you went to Tess. But she can't be you. Tess can never be you.
Flash
No. The night of Gomez I came to your room. That's the night that things between us were cemented.
Cemented. So when you say cemented, you...
We made love.
Flash
…. My life is only in danger if I am with you. I...I want to be in love with boys...normal boys. I...I want to see my 21st birthday. I...I want to have a wedding day. I...I...I want to have children...and I want my children to be safe. You know, Max, if...if you truly love me, you'll let me go. I may love you, but I...I don't want to die for you.
Flash
He's the only reason that I'm alive right now. You...you've...you gotta come up with another plan. Please go to someone else. I...I just...I can't do this anymore.
Flash
Just 25 minutes before I came here, I held Michael in my arms...dead. Isabel died 2 weeks before that. Now you have to do this. You have to find a way. All of our lives depend on it.
Flash
How? What can I do that's gonna make you turn away from me?
I don't know.
Flash
Liz?
I need your help.
Flash
Yeah. Um, Kyle, look...I just wanna make sure that I...I...I made it actually clear that we're not gonna...
Consummate. I understand.
Flash
Don't you realize what you are to me...and you're always gonna be? You're the love of my life. Everyone else is gonna be second best. There'll never be another you.
Flash
I wanna have my wedding dance.
~Please say honestly you won't give up on me and…~
End Flashes
"I shall believe." Liz whispered softly, so soft that neither Kyle nor Tess could hear her. Tears blinded her vision and for the first time, Liz allowed herself the comfort of these tears as she wept for everything she had lost, what was once hers in another lifetime, but would never be hers in this lifetime. She wept for the empty loneliness that had and would forever remain her companion throughout whatever was left of her life. She wept for the love she had lost, and she continued to cry, never ceasing, not even to see Tess and Kyle's reactions.
Tess and Kyle were at a loss, Liz had been right; the story was farfetched, even for them. But then again, why would she put herself through the obvious torture she was going through now? Finally snapping out of their confused and doubtful state of mind, Liz's sobs reached their ears. Tess reached out a comforting hand, and as she did so, she was caught off guard by the onslaught of flashes. She felt and saw scenes so agonizingly emotional-painful and felt that heart wrenching misery pour through her body as she saw and felt it all, from fear of seeing the future to the last single tear shed as the future faded.
Gasping, Tess pulled back, tears feeling her eyes as she looked on in awe at Liz who was staring back at her, tears having ceased, only to replaced by an unending sorrow. So many emotions were crashing through her body at the moment, awe, sorrow, shock, but above all guilt. It had been her fault…the one in the other lifetime, who had caused all this pain, all these lies. Because of her own selfishness, she had caused the end of the world. All because of her misguided love. Bending down, Tess pulled Liz into her arms and the two girls rocked back in forth as Kyle watched on in confusion, "I'm so sorry Liz. I'm sorry."
Tess repeated this mantra over and over as she held the other girl, trying to relieve her pain, if not take it all away. Finally Liz shook her head as she reprimanded Tess,
"It's not your fault Tess. It never was. It was my fault for not being able to let go. I never meant for you to find out, none of you, but it hurt so much…I felt like I was ready to explode. If anything, this is my entire fault. So please stop apologizing."
Tess shook her head in disbelief, her respect for the tinier girl growing even more as she took the entire blame for this whole mess, when in all reality, she was the victim of stupid mistakes that they had all made. She whispered into Liz's hair, "Don't apologize, you have nothing to be sorry for."
Looking over her head, Tess and Kyle locked gazes, and Kyle knew in an instant that Liz's tale had been true, and it pained him to know that Liz had gone through this all alone. He had been too selfish to notice that she had been slipping away from them, and it had nearly been too late to help her.
Kyle spoke up then, "But it's over now right? Tess knows."
Tess nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I'm happy here and now this gives me another reason to why I shouldn't leave. You can go tell Max the truth now. You don't have to hurt anymore."
Liz shot up, and pushed away from Tess before she stood up and started to pace. "NO!"
Kyle and Tess were taken back by her loud refusal, and Liz noticed this before continuing, "I won't tell him, and you can't tell him either. You promised remember? Just because Tess won't leave, doesn't mean I can be with him. So much has changed! I just can't do again! I can't risk the entire world just because of a chance that I may be able to be with Max!"
Through her rant, she had become more and more frenzy as she rung her hands in the air.
"I love him, I really do. But I'm not going to risk the world again because of my selfishness…because in the end, none of it would have mattered. I CAN'T and you won't tell him. Swear to me!"
Liz looked over at them, her eyes glittering with craze causing Tess to gasp. Liz grabbed Tess's hands, "Please. You can't tell him. We got off on the wrong foot, and it's not your fault. I understand where you were coming from, and I'm glad you're happy now. This future is the one I want, the one that's better…so please, I beg you don't tell him."
Tears were trailing down Tess's cheeks as she agreed. "I swear."
With that Liz slumped over into Tess's arms, and Kyle cried out, "What's wrong with her?"
"Nothing," Tess replied as she brushed stray strands of hairs away from Liz's face, "I just put her to sleep…her body has been in overdrive by her emotions and all that has happened, she needs her sleep."
When you feel all alone,
And the world has turned its back on you,
Give me a moment please, to tame your wild wild heart,
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you,
It's hard to find relief,
And people can be so cold.
When darkness is upon your door and
you feel like you can't take anymore…
With Kyle's help, Tess managed to carry Liz up the stairs, undress her and clothe her in pajamas before tucking Liz into bed.
Slowly Tess exited the bedroom, and closed the door softly behind her, taking one quick look at Liz.
Let me be the one you call, if you jump I'll break your fall,
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night.
If you need to fall apart, I can mend a broken heart,
If you need to crash then crash and burn you're not alone.
"Do you think we should really keep this a secret?" Kyle asked while they drove home.
"No," Tess was staring at the dark sky, "But it's not our secret to tell. If she doesn't want Max to know, then there's nothing we can do about it."
"…I can't just stand by and do nothing. This is killing her slowly, you gotta see that."
"I know, and I do."
When you feel all alone,
And a loyal friend is hard to find,
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head.
When hopes and dreams are far away
And you feel like you can't face the day…
"But I think I can understand why she won't tell him. Liz is loyal to Max, the old Max, and would never do anything to break that trust or loyalty. She promised Future Max, her husband, that she wouldn't be with Max, not if it was the cause of my leaving."
"But you're not going anywhere…are you?"
"No, I promised you didn't I?"
"I think she's afraid."
"Hmm?"
"Their love caused the end of the world in that other lifetime, and even though it's different now, she won't risk it again. She doesn't want to be able to love Max, but have to give him up again to save the world."
"…you know, I think you're right."
Let me be the one you call, if you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night,
If you need to fall apart, I can mend a broken heart,
If you need to crash then crash and burn
you're not alone
"So what can we do? We can't just watch her waste away."
"I don't plan on doing that." Tess answered as visions crossed her mind again. I'll take care of her. She doesn't deserve to feel this pain, I'll watch over her.
When you feel all alone,
And the world has turned its back on you,
Give me a moment please,
To tame your wild wild heart…
The moonlight touched the small figure as she lay in a dreamless slumber as the words carried by the wind flew about her, with promises made long ago, now broken. I'll be there for you always, my love.
Let me be the one you call, if you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night,
…Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought it would end this way. The only people I have left is my ex-boyfriend and my once enemy. But I don't think I've ever been more grateful for anything.
If you need to fall apart, I can mend a broken heart,
If you need to crash then crash and burn you're not alone....
