Dreaming Of You
Category: Max/Liz
Summary: Max mistakens Liz for someone else. Maria finds out what Tess had to go through.
Authors Note: The title is from Selena's song. I have to say I love Selena and was crushed by her death(as you all know, already).
Okay, for StardustDreamer: Yes, Max and Liz will be together. I can't stand Max and Tess together romanticly in real life. So no worries.
I've got an idea on the direction of this story, but i'm not totally positive, so it might take a while. Bear with me, please.
Another thing, does anybody know if you can change the font after you've submitted your story? I'd like mine to be a little smaller. So if you know, please tell me! Thanx.

Liz bit her lip and closed her eyes. She prayed that she heard wrong.
"Max, it's Liz."
Max took a deep breath. "Hey."
"Did you....did you just call me Tess?"
Max didn't reply.
"What's happening to us..Max?" Liz whispered into the reciever.
Max shook his head. He would not lose her again.
"Nothing, Liz. Nothing. It's just a small problem, that we'll get through. Okay? I love you."
Liz smiled. She hadn't heard that in a long time.
"I love you, too."
"I'll stop by at the Crashdown, later."
"Ok. Bye."
* * * *
Maria just looked at her. "I'm so....so sorry, Tess."
Tess wiped away the tears.
"Please, don't make me talk about it."
Maria hugged her. "I won't."
"Jealousy, Maria. I'm so goddamn jealous. I want to hurt Liz, so...bad. But now I don't think I can."
Maria nodded. Maybe she wouldn't have to talk to Max or Michael about this after all.
* * * *
"Michael!" Liz yelled. She burst out laughing.
"What now? Liz, you need to get back to work." Michael said.
She had been like this all day. Laughing and smiling whenever she said his name.
The door bells jingled. Max came in. Liz looked over and smiled. Michael whispered something to her and she laughed.
"Hey."
"Max Evans. What can I get you?" Liz took out her order pad.
"Actually, I just ate."
"Umm...okay. Well, my shift ends in a few minutes if you want to go somewhere-"
"It's over."
"What is?" Liz said worriedly.
Max put his hand over hers.
"I don't dream of her anymore."
Liz smiled. "Okay."
Somebody entered the Crashdown. It was Tess. She came to them quickly.
"Please, don't call the cops or anything. Liz, you know I didn't kill Alex. It was Ava. Max, i'm sorry. Sorry for taking away the person that mattered the most to you."
Max shook his head. This was happening too fast, something was off.
"How did you get here?"
"I can't tell you."
Max stood up. "Why not?"
"Because when I go back, you guys will want to come back too, and that can't happen."
"Fine."
Liz looked at Max. He never denied wanting to go home. And she thought he would never leave her.
"Why do you plan on going back, Tess?"
'Because, i'll have already hurt you.' Tess thought.
Tess didn't answer Liz's question. She simply walked out.
And noone ever saw her again.
* * * *
Maria sat in her living room, three months later. Still confused. Confused with the whole Tess incident. What was the point? Why did she even come?
Maria laughed out loud. She never told anybody about how she betrayed them. They wouldn't understand. Not even Liz. And she hadn't talked to Michael in about one month. She didn't even know if they were together. He could be screwing someone else right now, and she wouldn't know it.
Maria took another drink out of the bottle. Since when did her life get so screwed up?
* * * *
Liz walked in the huge house.
"Max!" She yelled.
Max walked down the stairs. "Hey."
Liz smiled. "Oh! I brought us some movies."
Max looked at them. "What's this one about? 'O'?"
"Okay, that one's based on Shakespeare's, 'Othello'. And....it has Josh Hartnett! Oh, and it has Julia Stiles. If that helps."
Max smiled. "I guess it does."
They sat and watched the movie. At the end, Liz still didn't stop staring at the screen.
"Liz! It's over."
"Yeah, but. That's not fair. It wasn't just Hugo's fault. I mean Odin actually went through with it."
Max laughed. "No use trying to defend Josh, Liz."
"Okay."
Liz started flipping through a magazine. The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Max said. He opened the door. Noone was there, but he did see a figure running away.
"Who was it?" Liz asked.
"Oh, um just some guy looking for directions." He lied.
'No sense in scaring her.' Max thought.
Liz switched the channels on the t.v.
"Well, the weatherman predicts thunder." Liz said. "Are all the windows closed?"
Max nodded.
BOOM!!
Liz jumped and stood up. "Ma..Max? What was that?"
"Just thunder." He lied again. He had heard that noise loud and clear. It was from the kitchen.
"Liz, just stay here."
"Whatever." Liz seemed uninterested. She was watching a movie.
Max went in the kitchen. A plastic plate had dropped. Max sighed in relief.
But he knew something was wrong when he heard Liz's piercing scream.

Please R&R!
Next Chapter: Somebody re-enters Max's life, and Liz starts to think that her jealousy is taking over. Meanwhile, Maria isn't talking, working, or doing anything. She realizes how Tess had a big impact on her.
