Michael trugged home from the alien themed restaurant muttering all the while

"What is her problem? We were broke up for two weeks and she already has someone

else and she couldn't find fifteen minutes to tell me the truth?" He wondered outloud.

A part of him knew he deserved it. He never treated Maria right and this was probably pay back.

"But still, I have to get her back. I'll convince her I have changed and I will treat her right" He thought

as he walked to his apartment to make a plan.

~*~ Meanwhile, At The Crashdown ~*~

Maria had cooled off a bit about Michael spying on her. She really felt she needed

to vent to someone about everything though. As if on cue, Liz came from upstairs and

walked out towards Maria.

"Hey, my dad says you can take a break now" Liz told her friend cheerfully.

"Lizzie, we totally need to talk" Maria said no sooner as Liz had said the word break.

"Maria, maria slow down. We'll talk upstairs k?" Liz said wondering why the small blonde was so riled up.

"OK. I have to tell you something and promise not to say anything till I'm finished" Maria said dragging Liz out her window, out to the fire exit.

"Ok" Liz said

"Cross your heart, hope to die, stick a needle in your eye?" Maria asked

"Maria!!!" Liz said with a laugh "I promise ok? Just tell me pleease" Liz begged

"Ok..." Maria said.

She told Liz about Kyle's dad and her mom splitting up and told her everything that had happened from the point in her car till a couple minutes ago.

Liz tried to contain her laughter at Maria's babbles.

Maria sighed.

"Liz, this is serious! What am I gonna do?" Maria said

"I dunno Ria. Sorry I can't help you out your just gonna have to figure it out for yourself. Sorry" Liz said.

"It's ok. Well I better get back to work. I'll talk to you later k?" Maria said halfway back into her room.

"Ok, see ya" Liz said as Maria disappeared though the hallway and downstairs.

~*~ At The Valenti Home ~*~

Kyle had just got off work and came home. As he headed up the driveway he heard footsteps behind him.

"Valenti, I think you have something to tell me?" A deep voice said

Kyle turned around.

"Guerin, what are you talking about?" He asked

Michael walked towards Kyle.

"I know about you and Maria. Dude, did you ever think maybe I still loved her huh?" Michael asked

"Well you have a funny way of showing it. Ripping her heart out and stomping on it. Yup, that's love" Kyle said harshly.

"So we had a little fight, what else is knew. That doesn't mean I stopped loving her ok?" Michael said icily staring at him.

"Ever think that maybe, just maybe I love her too! I always have..." Kyle yelled "I just didn't have the guts to admit it. And I didn't want to ruin her little bit of happiness she had with you, if, she had any at all..."

"That's bull Valenti, and you know it. Maria will never love you, not like she loves me, so just get over yourself" Michael grunted with a sneer as he walked away.

Kyle walked in the house where his dad was standing.

"Who was that? What was all the yelling about? Was that Michael? What did he want?" Valenti fired questions at his son.

"Just forget it happend..." Kyle muttered as he stocked to his room.

He turned on the computer and logged on to his email account.

He clicked on compose and clicked on the contact songstressbabe@hotmail.com.

Kyle starting typing:

Ria,

Hey meet me at Roswell Elementry school tonight at 7:00pm.

-Kyle

He clicked send and went off to make preparations.

~*~At The Crashdown at 4~*~

"Liz, Can I check my email on your computer?" Maria asked her best friend

"Yeah sure" Liz said while reading a book. The two girls were up in Liz's room and had just got off their shift.

Maria logged on and found she had two emails.

One from amy_deluca@hotmail.com and one from buddhaboy71@hotmail.com. Maria's heart fluttered when she seen Kyle's email address.

Her mom's message told her that she was going to be home late but not to worry. She clicked on Kyle's message and turned to look at Liz.

"Why would Kyle want me to meet him at the our old Elementry school at 7?" Maria asked with an eyebrow raised.

Liz laughed.

"I don't have any clue" Liz said.

"Oh well, what do you think I should wear?" Maria asked.

The whole afternoon they were laughing and talking about when Liz and Kyle were going out, Max, Michael's jeliousy, and what Maria was going to wear that night, girl stuff.

"Guys are so complicated" Liz mused

"Yeah.. Well I gotta get going, got to get ready. I only have an hour" Maria said

"K Ria, have a good time"

"K, I'll call you tomorrow and tell you about it k?"

"K, bye"

"Bye"

Maria walked downstairs and went home and started to get ready.
