Kyle was sleeping on the coach. He knew that was stupid. She was gone now.
He could have is room back. But the truth was he didn't want the room. All
he wanted was Tess. He wanted her back.
"Kyle, I'm going out with Amy."
Kyle just shrugged his shoulders. There were other things to worry about than his dad dating Maria's mum. Tess was gone a week now and he still felt the pain he had felt first when he discovered what she had done. He still couldn't believe it though. His Tess could never kill someone, especially not Alex; he was their friend. She would never betray him.
Strangely the thought of her being pregnant by Max hurt him equally. He had never been able to admit it as long as she was there, but now he had to face it. He couldn't close his eyes anymore. He was in love with Tess. He wanted to deny it, but he couldn't. His heart broke in that moment he learned about the truth.
The last week he had spent at home. He didn't want to see anybody. He just wanted to forget; wanted the pain to stop. Waking up and discover everything had just been a terrible nightmare. That she still was in his room, wearing his blue jersey, lying on his bed and reading a magazine.
"Kyle are you at home?"
"DeLuca what are you doing here?"
"Ahm, your dad just picked up my mum. I heard him say you wouldn't feel so good. I thought I just look what you're doing."
"Leave me alone." First Maria was offended by his harsh voice and wanted to go. But then she took a closer look at Kyle. He was very pale and had dark rings under his eyes. His eyes were red and she was almost sure that he had cried.
"You know what? I'm just gonna stay for a while. There was no reaction from Kyle at all. At this point Maria would have been glad when he had yelled at her. She couldn't stand him just sitting there and starring. Maria sat next to him on the couch.
"You know where your dad takes my mum tonight? They go to this little Chinese restaurant that has just opened in Roswell. I've heard it is great. There food is supposed to be amazing…" Her voice was light and she was smiling. She didn't stop talking. She told him about the new restaurant, her teachers at school, and her mum. She never got an answer from him, but about half an hour later she felt his head on her shoulder. He was sleeping. Maria didn't know that, but it was the first time he really slept since Tess was gone. She didn't want to leave him, so she just sat on the couch in Valenti's living room, Kyle leaning against her.
She still sat like this when Jim came home. Surprised he looked at Maria. She laid her finger on her lip, to tell him to be quiet. Valenti went over to Maria. "Since when are you here?" he asked in a low voice.
"I went over when you picked up my mom. I thought Kyle could use some company." Jim nodded: "I'll call your mom, so she knows were you are."
"Thanks."
"Sure. Maria, did he tell you anything?"
"No, he didn't say a word. I think he just misses Tess."
"Yeah." Jim went to get a blanket for Maria and Kyle and then he went to bed. Before he fell asleep he called Amy to tell her that Maria was at his house.
The next morning Kyle woke up early. He wasn't surprised that he found himself sleeping on the couch again; only the fact that his head was resting in Maria's lab confused him slightly. But soon he remembered that she had come over last night. Obviously she had stayed after he had fallen asleep. Slowly he sat up, trying not to wake her. He wasn't very successful though, because Maria awoke immediately.
"Good Morning Kyle."
"Morning, Maria."
"You feelin' better?"
"Yes."
"Kyle?"
"Yeah?"
"You are a bad liar. No tell me what's the matter."
"Are you really asking that, Maria? You know what happened last week."
"Of course I do. But why are you so down. I thought you didn't like her living with you anyway."
"No, that's not true. Well, maybe at the beginning. But now I mss her. I just want her to come back."
"Even though you know she is a murderer?"
"I can't believe she really did that."
"Kyle you have seen her."
"I know, but my Tess would never kill Alex."
Maria noticed the change in his voice when he talked about "his Tess'. She realized how much he was in love with her. Even the fact that she killed Alex couldn't change that. She laid her arm around Kyle, trying to comfort him a little. But her heart told her that there was nothing that could comfort him.
"Kyle, I'm going out with Amy."
