I just wanna thank all of you for reading my fic. If it wasn't for you, I'd
probably just shove this story into a folder and NEVER finish it. So thanks
again , now onto Part 11a....there's gonna be mushy M/L action ahead
because I'm feeling mushy that and Liz is going to start remembering the
past......
Morning smiles
like the face
of a newborn child,
innocent, unknowing.
Winter's end
promises
of a long lost friend.
Speaks to me of comfort
but I fear
I have nothing to give.
I have so much
to lose here in this lonely place.
Tangled up in your embrace
there's there's nothing I'd like better than
to fall.
but I fear
I have nothing to give.
Wind in time
rapes the flower
trembling on the vine
and nothing yields to shelter
from above.
They say temptation will destroy our love.
The never ending hunger
but I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much
to lose here in this lonely place
tangled up in our embrace
there's nothing I'd like better than
to fall
but I fear
I have nothing to give.
I have so much to lose.
I have nothing to give.
We have so much to lose...
--Fear, Sarah McLachlan--
I stumble down the road, ignoring the rain beating down on me. I'm so numb that I can't even feel the cold seeping through my drenched clothes. I turn onto Max's road and I think back to when things were happy....
**FLASH**
"Mikey push me! Pwease!!!" I yell to Michael from my swing. I'm five years old again.
"Awwww, do I have to Mom?"
My mother smiles at him and nods.
"All right, I'll push you..."
I giggle with delight as he starts to push me, "I bet I can touch the clouds all da way up to da sky Mikey."
"I bet you can." I hear his laugh and he keeps pushing me higher....
**END FLASH**
I smile faintly at the memory and swallow hard as I head closer to Max's house. Alex and Kyle live on this road. Please let them be inside...
"Hey Guerin!" Damnit. Alex.
I keep walking hoping he'll leave me alone,
"Guerin I suggest you stop."
"Or what? You'll hit me? Wouldn't be the first time Alex."
"Why you stupid little...." I back away quickly and back up into someone.
"I think you should live her alone...Alex. Right?" Max. I smile in victory at Alex.
"Or what Evans? You going stop me?"
I hear Max laugh...such a deep, velvety laugh. Stop it Elizabeth.
"Nah, I'm sure your father wouldn't like to hear how you've been hitting women, now would he Valenti."
Oh, that struck a nerve. Alex doesn't even respond, he just walks off. Pansy. What Isabel saw in him, I will never know.
Max turn me around, "Hey."
"Hey, sorry to come by, but I just wanted to apologize for my brother.."
"It's okay Liz. I understand."
"Can I...would you care if I stayed awhile."
"Not at all."
He leads me up the stairs to his porch and into his house. It's huge and beautiful, even with the moving boxes.
"My parents aren't here. They're taking care of something back in LA. I got stuck housesitting." He smiles. God, he makes me weak in the knees. Oh my god, where the hell did that come from.
"Max, I just wanted to say thank you."
"For what?"
"Taking care of me. Helping me when you hardly knew me. For taking a chance on loving me."
He places a gentle kiss on my lips and smooths back my hair from my face, "I love you Liz. I'll never stop and I'll always be here. I promise."
"I love you too."
He smile, "You're soaking wet. Here take that stuff off," He comes back with a robe, "And put this on. I'll throw your stuff in the dryer." I smile at him in thanks. I stand there and he finally gets the hint, "OH! Sorry." He turns around and
I laugh softly, peeling my wet clothing off and slipping the robe on. I tie it into a knot and then clear my throat.
"I'll be right back." He reappears and I take this moment to kiss him. I feel him respond immediatly and he traces my lips with his tongue, asking for permission. I open my mouth to him and I feel his warm tongue stroking mine and it fills me with warmth. I run my hands up his chest and lock my arms around his neck as he tangles his fingers in my hair. I lay back on the couch and he climbs ontop of me. I feel him start to untie the robe when I'm hit with flashes.....
*****
"Shhh Lizzie. It won't hurt I promise..." My father says as he undoes my dress slowly.
*****
I hear my parents yelling and a loud slap. Then I hear my mother sobbing as my father walks out.
*****
My father kicking Michael and watching Michael fall to the ground, spitting out blood.
*****
Michael hiding me in his closet and my father entering his room, demanding to know where I was. I hear loud smacks and someone being thrown up against the closet doors and my mother's screams.
*****
My father leaving that night, me hiding under the covers with Michael holding me tightly.
*****
Me, blaming my mother for everything....not remembering what my father did.
*****
My best friend, Tess, telling everyone about my cuts and depression. Everyone calling me a freak and Kyle cheating on me with....Maria.
**end flashes**
"Oh my god Max."
He looks at me, worried.
"It's my fault. It's all my fault. I blamed her and she was protecting me. My father...he.....he....." I don't finish before I break into sobs. Max doesn't ask he just holds me, rocking me back and forth, whispering comforting words. And everything starts to fall into place.
~Okay like I said this is only part a of part 11. The reason I wasn't able to complete this is because exams are coming up and I have so much studying to do. So please be the loving readers you are and watch for it. Thanks(. Muchos love, Eden.
