Roswell belongs to Jason Katims and 20th Century Fox. I'm only borrowing
them for a short while.
Thanks to Margo for all her help with all this.
Well everyone..this story was here once before, but SOMEONE was a tad bit to fast with her mouse button and it went kerpouff.
November 1, I'm Liz Parker and I've decided it's time for some changes in my life. Last night was Halloween and Max Evans showed up and put on another one of his foolish alien displays. He had jack-o'-lanterns floating up to my window all night long. What if someone had seen him? Doesn't he ever think? Wait that's a stupid question of course he didn't think.he had sex with Tess. How could anyone in their right mind do something like that. I don't know what has come over me.I forgave him far too easily.it's almost like someone was doing the talking and thinking for me. One minute I am enraged that he let himself be with HER when he said he loved me, and the next minute I am holding a gun on a store clerk in Utah.
"Liz, can you come down here for a minute?" Nancy yells upstairs.
"Just a minute Mom." Liz replies.
And the way I have been treating my parents.that's not like me. I don't understand what is going on anymore, and the only way I can figure things out is if I stay away from Max Evans.
Liz puts her journal on her bed and heads downstairs. Her mom is waiting at the foot of the stairs for her.
"Yeah Mom, what's up?" asks Liz.
"I need your help with something. It's about your father," Nancy says.
"Yeah Mom, about that. I don't understand why I've been acting this way. I am going to try and work things out with you and Dad. I'm not saying I won't screw up again, but I don't foresee and trips to Utah in my future," Liz finishes gazing first at the floor then into her mother's eyes.
Liz hugs her mom. Tears are streaming down Nancy's face.
"Liz, we love you. We only want what's best for you. I was thinking, you and your dad have always been so close, why don't you and he go out to dinner together. Just the two of you," Nancy continues through her tears.
"That sounds like a great idea mom. I'll ask Dad about it after the lunch shift today. I'm going to run upstairs. I'll be down for work in a minute," Liz says.
They hug again and Liz runs up to her room and sits down with her journal.
It's 10:30 in the morning and I think I just made a start with mom.next up Dad. He's been kind of strange lately with his proclamations.WE FORBID YOU TO SEE MAX EVANS.yeah.as if he could do that. But I know he only wants what is best for me
Suddenly there is a pounding on the door.
Nancy is yelling "Liz Parker! What are you thinking of? It's 12:30 and you were supposed to be down here helping with lunch. I though you wanted to try and get along with us. This isn't the way."
Dropping the journal, Liz runs to the door. She opens it looking confused.
"Mom, I am so sorry. I only came up for a second, I sat down and I must have fallen asleep. I've just been so stressed lately.I am so sorry," Liz says with a dazed look in her eyes.
Tears start streaming down Liz's face and Nancy pulls her into a hug.
"I can see that, Honey. I'm sorry I yelled. This has been hard on all of us. Now get your uniform on and get down stairs. I'll talk to your dad," offers her mother.
Liz starts to get dressed, stops and picks up her uniform, drops it and picks up her journal thinking, 10:30? I was just writing for a second. What happened to two hours? I don't get it!!
She hurries down to the restaurant and waves to Maria as she walks up to her dad. Maria takes one look at the expression on Liz's face and prepares to duck.
"Hi Dad. Sorry I'm late. I went up to get ready, sat down and fell asleep. It was my fault and is totally inexcusable," admits Liz.
Jeff looks at his daughter and smiles. "No problem, Sweetie. Things like that do happen, and I appreciate your honesty. You have tables 8, 9 and 10 and are splitting the counter with Maria. You may want to thank her for covering for you," he replies.
"Don't worry Dad, I will," says Liz.
Liz grabs a tray full of drinks and walking past Maria and whispers, "I've got to talk to you.it's urgent."
"Liz, what's the matter? You are worrying me. As mad as you have been with your parents, you never let it affect your work here. And to not show up.that is totally irresponsible," Maria says appearing more agitated by the minute.
"Maria, relax and sniff some cypress oil. This is important," demands Liz.
Maria takes a vial from her pocket and takes a big sniff. "OK.that's better. What's up?"
"Maria, I am losing time, or my mind, take your pick" Liz answers.
"What do you mean losing time?"
While they clear tables and set up for the dinner crowd, Liz explains what happened up in her room earlier.
"Um.Liz.Sweetie.maybe it's you who needs the cypress oil. I think you need to calm down," says Maria in a very soothing tone
" Maria, don't patronize me and listen. Think about how I've been acting. It's nothing like me at all. I've been rude, reckless, and careless. Then I pretended to rob a store. Why? And Max. How could I forgive Max for what he has done to me? HOW COULD YOU LET ME?"
Patrons of the diner begin to stare as Liz's voice gets louder. Maria laughs and takes a bow. "Part of our new dinner theater folks. Hope you enjoyed the show."
Lowering her voice Maria says, "Look Liz, you need to calm down and we need to talk about this. Let's get Michael and we can figure out what is going on"
"No, not Michael. I don't want any of THEM to help us," Liz says in a shaky voice.
"That isn't fair. Michael was willing to help us prove that Alex was murdered. He will be on our side. Just let me tell him. We can get together at his place tonight," Maria suggests in a slightly injured tone.
"Let me check with my parents first," Liz answers walking over to Jeff.
"Dad, can I go out with Maria and Michael tonight? We aren't going anywhere with Max, we just want to hang out."
Jeff looks over at Maria with a doubtful look on his face. Liz looks at him getting ready to say no and offers, "Or could they come over here and hang out with me upstairs? That way you would know we won't be with Max. Come on, Dad, I'm really trying here. Could you cut me a little slack? Please?"
Jeff nods his agreement and Liz gives him a quick little hug. She turns toward Maria, but stops turning back to her father. "Wait. I was going to ask you if you wanted to go to dinner tonight, just you and me? Would it be ok if Michael and Maria come over after we get back?"
Jeff smiles and says "Liz, that sounds like a wonderful plan, in fact, why don't we bring dessert home for everyone?"
Liz hugs her father again and walks over to Maria.
She explains the plan and asks, "What do you think? Can you guys come over after my dad and I go to dinner?"
"Sure. Don't worry Liz. We'll figure out what is going on with you, together," Maria says as she gives Liz a hug.
