Dreaming Of You
Category: Max/Liz
Summary: Liz thinks jealousy is getting the best of her. Meanwhile, Maria realizes the huge impact Tess had on her and begins to think she's going crazy. Slowly, the gang begins to fall apart.
Author's 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.
Meanwhile, I totally screwed up with the idea I had for this story. I'm thinking of a new one, right now.
So what i'm going to do, is if anyone wants to see something in the story, or thinks of an idea, please tell me in a review! NOT in an email, I repeat, DO NOT email me. Sorry, but I won't be able to check it, so please tell me in a review. I won't use all suggestions, but I will use the one that will probaly fit best with this story. Thanx!!!
PS- Personally, I don't like hockey. But did anyone catch the Minnesota/Maine game? Yeah, go Minnesota! (I live in Mn, if you can't tell)

Max dropped the plate and ran to Liz. She was standing on the table, twirling around, screaming.
"LIZ!" Max shouted, and she stopped. "What the hell are you doing?"
Liz found herself breathing quickly. "I...I..saw...I saw it!"
"What?" Max asked.
Liz's eyes opened wide. "A mouse! You have a damn mouse in your house! It's running around as if it owns the place!"
Max stared at her, and began to laugh.
"What is so funny?"
"You are scared of a mouse!"
Liz shook her head, "Not funny." She said.
* * * *
Maria listened to the phone ring. She was lying on her back watching t.v. upside down.
"Stop ringing." She said.
RRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!!
"Stop ringing." Maria said a little louder.
RRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!!
"STOP RINGING! STOP IT!" She threw the remote control at the wall, it smashed to pieces.
'What's happening to me?' Maria thought. She picked up the phone.
"What?"
"Maria. I missed you," The sweet voice said, "So much."
Maria shook her head. "No, NO! You aren't there, you left."
"No, I didn't Maria. I'm here, i'll always be here," The voice faded out.
Maria hung up, closed her eyes and swallowed. When she opened them, the line was dead. The caller was not Tess. Somebody was screwing with her mind. And it was working.
Maria got up and went into the apartment kitchen. She grabbed a beer. It was like her fifth one. The doorbell rang.
She opened the door and saw Tess. Maria closed her eyes tight and opened them again. It was Max.
"Maria, I thought you might need a friend."
Maria nodded and hugged him fiercly. "It's like she haunts me, Max. I always see her, think she's there." She whispered in his ear.
Max nodded, "I can relate." He said.
* * * *
"Yes?" Liz answered her cellphone. Max said he needed to be somewhere, so now she was heading for Maria's house.
"Hey, Liz."
"Michael?"
"Yeah, um," Michael scratched his forehead, "Do you think maybe, you could talk to Maria? I mean, I haven't gone near her, in forever."
Liz switched the phone to her other ear. "Michael, I think you need to do that."
"Liz, you are the closest thing to her. She'll listen. Please?"
Liz nodded. "Alright, i'm going over there, right now." She hung up.
* * * *
Maria looked up and saw Michael, not Max.
"Michael?" She whispered.
Max looked confused. "Maria, it's Ma-"
She cut him off, pressing her lips against his. Max tried to get her off him, what was she doing? But Maria held on, kissing him more passionetly.
* * * *
Liz walked up to Maria's house and saw the door was open. She walked inside.
"Maria, it's-" Liz looked up and saw Max. They had been kissing, but pulled apart. Maria looked up and saw Max.
"Shit." She said and ran into the bathroom. Liz looked at Max, and slightly started shaking her head.
"No, tell me I saw wrong, Max."
Max didn't reply. Liz headed for the door. Max grabbed her hand.
"Let go of me! LET GO OF ME!" Liz screamed, tears forming.
"No, Liz. NO! You don't understand what happened." Max tried to explain.
"I don't need to! It's all you ever do, Max. I can just use the excuse, from all the other times." Liz ran out the door too fast, and tripped. She started laughing.
Max quickly ran towards her. "Liz, Liz are you okay?"
"I'M FINE!" She yelled at him. "I'm always fine! When you're there and when you're not! I'm doing great!"
Max helped her up. "Sorry for caring."
Liz stood up and smoothed out her clothes. "That's not caring at all. You just felt bad for me."
And she left, with Max staring at her.
* * * *
Maria woke up. She had no idea what happened yesterday, but she did have a huge headache.
'I think I drank too much.' She thought as she saw beer bottles everywhere.
Maria got up, not bothering to change her clothes that had been on for about two weeks. But then again, she never left the house.
'I wonder if i'm fired from the crash?' She thought and laughed. Of course she was, she hadn't been to work in what, two months?
* * * *
Liz woke up and answered the phone.
"WHAT?" She said tiredly.
Max cleared his throat. "Liz?"
She rubbed her eyes. "Yeah?" She sat up.
"Can I come over and we can talk?"
"Just talk?" Liz smiled. "I'm kidding, Max!" She laughed.
"That's not a bad idea." He smiled and climbed the ladder. He turned off his cell and climbed through the window.
"How did you get here so fast?" Liz asked and made room for him to sit on the bed.
Max took off his jacket and shoes and sat down. "Doesn't matter. Still pissed?"
Liz looked confused. "About what?"
Max sighed in relief. "Nothing."
'She can't remember. Good.' He thought.
Liz studied him, then realized what he was talking about. Maria and Max. They kissed.
"Okay, I remember now. Yeah, I remember very clearly." Liz got out of the bed. "Do you want to explain what happened?"
Max patted the bed. Liz sighed and got in. Their faces were just inches apart.
"You sure you want me to explain now?" He whispered inching closer to her.
"I guess it can wait." Liz whispered as she kissed him.
* * * *
"I'm going crazy." Maria said to herself. "I know it."
And it was all because of Tess. Maria felt a sharp pain in her stomach. When was the last time she ate? Yeah, that must be it.
"Hmmm..." She said looking for something to eat. She grabbed a beer and some cold pizza, and began to eat. Halfway through her meal, she decided the pizza needed some lemon juice, and her drink was kind of plain. She'd have to put some ice cream in it.
"I must look like a pregnant woman." Maria said and giggled. She kept laughing until she realized what she said.
"....pregnant..."
"No, NO!! NO!!!" Maria threw everything she saw in sight. Then she slumped to the floor and started crying.

Next Chapter: Maria finds out the truth. Liz and Max can finally be happy with noone in their way. Right? Wrong.
