Liz reached up to take the hidden key from its hiding place above the door, where it had been for so long.
She sighed. Back in Roswell again. She and Max had been in LA for 7 years. Until last year that was. Last year. Max. God. How much she loved him. And missed him. How could he have done that to her. Home. It had happened a year ago today. The message. Received through Valenti. They were going home. All the way out in to the desert, Liz had waited for Max to say he wasn't going. And all the way, Max hadn't said a word. The desert. They had arrived. Isabel was already there. As were Maria and Michael, Kyle and Tess. Even Amy and Jim were there. They had finally told Maria's mom when she had married Jim. God. The look on her face. Liz laughed to herself, remembering. Like mother, like daughter she thought. Max and Liz had been the last to arrive. Michael stepped forward. 'I'm staying.' His only words. Max had been angry. Furious. He was in charge, he was King, and he was going to be damned if his second in command disobeyed his orders. Michael had stepped down from rank. Refused to go. He was a no one. No longer the Kings confidante. No longer anyone. He was an alien on the wrong planet. But he stayed. He stood his ground. He had a reason to stay. Three reasons to stay. Maria. And his daughters. Sky and Starr. Named after where their Daddy came from. Maria hadn't been expecting this. She told him to go. She begged him to go. For all of them. But he stayed. For her. Isabel had turned from where she had been staring at the sky, having her own conversation with Alex. Alex had been gone 10 years, but she still talked to him as if he were still there. 'I'm staying to.' Max had blown up. His sister. The royal princess. But she stood her ground well. Didn't falter for a second. And she stayed. Max was furious. He hadn't been expecting anyone to refuse. Let alone his sister. He had turned to Tess. But she didn't say anything. She didn't need to or want to. She wasn't about to abandon her supposed destiny…. Nor was she willing to be a deserter. Everyone already knew her answer. Whether she wanted to go or not, she'd go.
Liz had been waiting for Max to turn to her and tell her he was staying. She waited. And waited. And when he walked towards her, she thought he'd say that. But he look on his face gave him away. And she knew. She knew he was leaving.
"Take care Liz. Take care of our babies. And know I'll come back for you. I have to go. I have to find out where we are from."
Liz knew that. But she also knew his destiny. And she knew that without her there for him he would fall into Tess's arms. Tess still controlled him. He might have been King. But Tess was powerful.
Liz had collapsed onto the ground in tears when Max and Tess made their way to the cave. Maria had helped her up. Amy had hugged her and held her like a mother. Even Jim had comforted her in his own way. Amy and Jim were far more parents to her that her own. Even though they loved her, her parents didn't know so much about her.
Michael and Kyle had stood back and let her grieve, and then they too had helped her. Isabel, the girl who had been strong for so long, kept strong, and took her home.
1 I can't find a reason to let go
Even though you've found a new love
And she's what your dreams are made of
I can find a reason to hang on
What went wrong can be forgiven
With out you it ain't worth living, alone.
Liz stepped through the front door. She had been standing on the porch for far too long, and Michael, who had been waiting in Maria's car for her to go in, had finally come up to see if she was alright. He had seen the look in her eyes, and had known what she was thinking about. Michael knew her far to well to have to say anything. So he just held her instead. But Michael had left. He had gone home to his wife. Something Max would never do again.
Liz stepped into the lounge and saw Isabel sitting on the couch. She was watching a late night movie. Isabel had moved in with Liz the day after Max had left. And she hadn't left. Isabel to, was alone. Alex had been gone for 10 years, and she still hadn't moved on. She still lived him with same amount of passion that she had 10 years ago. Liz smiled sadly, and moved into her room. She lay down on the centre of her bed and slowly curled up with her head on Max's pillow. It had lost his scent a long time before but Liz still put her head there for comfort. She drifted off to sleep in tears and awoke later that night…… in tears.
2 Sometimes I wake up crying at night
And sometimes I scream out your name
What right does she have to take you away
When for so long you were mine.
Liz took the box out form under her bed. Her and Max's bed. She had woken up screaming and crying every night since Max had left and every night she had gone through these photos. Liz shuffled through the photos, until she came across her two favourite photos. The photo that used to be of her, Maria and Alex, until Max had changed Maria and Alex's heads into his. And the photo taken at their wedding. Max had laughing at some thing Michael had said and Liz had her head on his shoulder while smiling at something Maria had said. Isabel had unexpectently taken that photo. And Liz had silently thanked her for it, for 11 years. The box was full of photos. Of her and Max together, of her and Max separately. Of her and Max with their friends. Of her and Max with their family.
3 Took out all the pictures of our Wedding Day
It was a time of love and laughter
Happy Ever After
But even those old pictures have begun to fade
Please tell me she's not real
And that your really coming home to stay.
She put all the pictures carefully back into the box, knowing they were there. Reading for her to take out the next night. And the next. And the next. Liz lay back down on the bed. She drifted off and as she had every night since that awful day, she awoke hours later screaming Max's name.
4 Sometimes I wake up crying at night
And sometimes I scream out your name
What right does she have to take you away
When for so long you were mine.
Liz opened the door. She peaked in to see the sleeping form roll over in bed. She smiled. She had always been restless as a child too. She looked at the child in the bed. Vilondra. Vilondra Maria Evans. Her daughter. Her and Max's daughter. Named after Isabel and Maria. Only four years old. Only three when her daddy left. Yet she still remember him as if he had left yesterday. Liz quietly shut the door, not wanting to wake Londra up. She crept down the hallway to the next door. She opened this one as well. Her son's room. Rath Kyle. Named after Michael and Kyle. He was six now and such a solemn little boy. She sighed. To much like Max. Thinks he has to take all the troubles of the world on his shoulders. Just like Max. In his mannerisms. His voice. His temper. And especially his looks.
I can give you two good reasons
To show you loves not blind
He's six and she's four
And you know they adore you
So how can I tell them you changed your mind?
A person came up behind her, and Liz smiled when she heard Isabel's voice say ' He looks more and more like Max every day, doesn't he?'
Liz smiled. Isabel was right. She shut the door and then turned to Isabel. 'I won't speak him name ever again until he returns. I suggest you do the same.'
Isabel gave her a look. 'Liz, he may never return.'
Liz smiled weakly. ' I know. But everyday until he does I won't speak his name. And everynight until he does, I'll wake up screaming and crying his name.'
