Ch. 9
Doing Something Right… For Once
Liz's POV
"Hey, haven't seen any of you in a while… No, no that won't work, Hey! Welcome to Earth! Again! No! Ahh! So Stupid!" I slapped the front of my head in disgust.
What was I going to say?
'Hey Max, Tess, I hope you enjoyed your time alone together to raise your child! Are you two planning on tying the knot or have you already?'
Why did Maria and Alex make me do this??? Can I please just drop dead right now! Flashes and all!! I swear my life was-
"Hello." A beautiful dark haired girl with striking green eyes greeted me at the top.
"H-hi." I blurted.
"I'm Midea, it's nice to finally meet you… Liz." She hugged me gently.
"Uh, you too. Uh, h-how'd you know my name?" I wondered.
"Max never stops talking about you," She whispered, "But that's just our little secret. Besides I can feel him in your aura."
"My AURA?" I stepped back.
"Yup, so is that Alex and Maria?" She pointed to my friends.
"Yea… I'm sorry… I-I forgot your name." I blushed.
"Midea." She smiled.
"Nice to meet you Midea."
"Hi, I'm Maria and She's Alex." Alex uttered as soon as he was in an easy to be heard distance from Midea, and then blinking at his remark, "I mean I'm Alex and she's Maria." He corrected nervously.
"Nice to meet you all. I'm so happy to be here… On, Earth you know. I never dreamed it was this beautiful." She exclaimed.
"You gotta get out more." Alex said teasingly.
"Yes, yes I do." She nodded, "Come, I'll take you to them, they're all so nervous."
"Nervous? Michael? I think you've got the wrong chzec." Maria muttered.
"Nope." Midea said over her shoulder, walking back down the hill.
"Right. I'm supposed to believe that Michael Guerin is nervous about seeing us again." Maria laughed.
"Why is it so hard to believe?" Midea stopped and turned to Maria, "You are. Why not him?" She blinked.
"What? I'm not nervous. Please. Me? I'm Teflon babe." Maria lied.
"What is it about Earth that makes everyone so afraid to show their true feelings?" Midea asked no one in particular.
I shrugged, "This should be good. So how are the love birds doing?" I asked, not knowing why I did. Because if Midea were to tell me that they were happily married or something to that degree, I would just have to turn the other way and start running like I stole something.
"Love birds?" Midea said confused.
"Max and Tess." Maria explained.
"Oh, they haven't been together since their arrival on Antar," She giggled, "What would make you ask that?" Then she stopped, suddenly realizing it.
"Awww, there it is, you get it now?" Alex teased, being his usual self.
"Yes Alex, I get it. Isabel was right." She smiled.
"Right about what?" Alex asked interested.
"That you're a pain in the ass but you get used to it and start to like it." She turned back to the top of the hill.
"Uh." Alex was silenced.
"I could have told you that." Maria joined.
"Shut up Maria." Alex huffed.
"Both of you shut up alright!" I cried out, "Gosh! Just-just c'mon!" I transcended over the hill. Walking- rather trying to keep my balance up and down that hill as best I could. Last thing I needed was to come flying down the hill full force and roll into Max.
"Liz!" Maria shouted surprised.
-Too Late.
I was there. I was over the hill and looking into the eyes of my first love.
Max Evans.
*FLASH*
"Not anymore, but you did and then you got Tess pregnant!" Liz screamed angry.
"I know you're upset." Max clenched his eyes shut in shame.
Liz yelled, "I-I trusted you, I gave you everything. I jumped off bridges for you, I broke laws for you, I risked getting shot for you, I trusted you! And you go off-- God, with Tess-- God, I saved myself for you!" The truth was out before she could stop it.
"Saved yourself? You slept with Kyle!" Max yelled back angry.
"Take me home." Liz's determined face burned into Max's distraught one.
*FLASH*
"Let's go." Max entered the Valenti household and was in Tess's room.
"Max, are you sure you want to do this?" Tess said.
"Yes." He answered.
"Right." Tess nodded.
They kiss-Tess sees flash of Max and Liz kissing
"You kissed Liz!" Tess bellowed.
Max doesn't reply.
"Don't worry, you won't remember her where we're going." Tess replied smugly.
*END FLASH*
By now the flashes had started to come naturally because of the emotional connection I held with Max. Only now the flashes were going both ways, his were coming to me and mine to him.
Was the fire that used to burn through them still there? Was it still lit to the point that he would have missed me while he was away?
His hair was longer than I had remembered and he didn't have the clean-cut style he used to wear before. His face looked as though he hadn't shaven in the past couple days. Or make that past couple weeks.
He looked tired and worn out, yet his eyes still glistened a bright glare as I stepped over a rock and joined the solid dirt floor with them.
His body was buffer and stronger than before, I could tell. I saw that his clothes resembled something I would have seen in a Gladiator movie and Michael looked the same as well. Isabel, of course looked like a Queen waiting to be served.
I held my head up high and didn't let a slight smile or frown crack my tender lips. My face remained emotionless. My heart began to race as Max took a small but subtle step towards me. I flinched and back away.
I could feel my feet cement to the floor as the tiny little hairs on the back of my neck started to raise a bit. Gooseflesh covered my arms, I was nervous. Just seeing Max Evans again was driving my mind, in addition to my heart, crazy.
Was this the same Max Evans who saved my life that day at the CrashDown? Was this the SAME Max Evans that kissed me, Liz Parker, so passionately he has seen into my soul? WE saw into each other's souls. What he and I shared was more than passion. It was more than love; it was… too much to put into mere little meaningless words.
"Liz." Max spoke.
I caught my breath; I was thrust back into reality.
"You… Came." He said it as if it were a dream that would vanish if he said it too loud.
My eyes were still glued to his. Not one of us dared look away, maybe for fear that the other would disappear. "Yes… I came." I whispered, not taking my eyes of him.
"Liz, goodness girl you left without-." Maria stopped talking; she was face to face with Michael.
"Hey." Michael said.
"Hey?" Maria spat.
Michael's face crumpled.
"You have been gone for TWO YEARS and all you have to say to me is hey?" Maria snapped.
I looked to Michael, who took a defensive step back.
I looked to Max, who still hadn't taken his eyes off me. He stood 3 feet away yet didn't attempt to come any closer than that.
I turned my head in the direction of where Alex would be. He stumbled down the hill and into Isabel's out stretched arms. Lovingly they hugged.
TRAITOR.
I thought to myself. What happen to 'I never thought she was coming back… I don't know what to do?' What a puppy dog, come home to master Isabel. I was disgusted.
"Liz." Max broke my thoughts.
I turned.
"I missed you. I was going crazy just thinking about you, thinking what I'd do if I never got to hold you in my arms again. Or kiss your soft skin." He was next to me in a flash and sliding an innocent finger down my check. He lifted his hand in the air and I could hear a faint song playing in the distance….
"Find me here
Speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That is leading me
To the place where
I find peace again …"
The lyrics danced in my ears.
LifeHouse's – Everything, played louder now.
"You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the life to my soul
You are my purpose
You are everything
And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this…"
"Max. Stop." I felt my throat tighten.
"You calm the storms
You give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You still my heart
And you take my breath away
Would you take me in
Would you take me deeper now
'Cause you're all I want
You are all I need
You are everything
Everything…"
"Why, why are you doing this?" I whimpered.
"Because I love you Liz Parker, Didn't you know that?"
***
Isabel's POV
"Is it really you?" I cried into Alex's smooth hair.
"Well if it wasn't I don't think I'd do this." He grabbed me into one hell of a passionate kiss that left me not only breathless but also overcome with happiness. He still loved me. I could feel and see it in his eyes. HE LOVED ME! Oh I could just sing it to the world!
Midea came into view, "You two are… Together?" She asked, cocking her head to the side.
"Yes. This is my Alex. My reason for living." I grinned so wide I felt my skin tighten.
"Maria!" I heard Michael's irritated voice to my left.
"No! I don't want to hear it! You didn't even miss me did you?!" She screamed in tired rage.
"I missed you alright! Is that what you want me to say? That I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't even concentrate without you popping into my mind every two seconds?" Michael shouted to Maria.
My body tensed in Alex's grip and he clenched me closer.
"Is that right Michael? Did you really do those things?" Maria's eyes watered.
"Yes." He whispered, looking down.
"Prove it." She spat, cold hearted as I have ever heard a person's voice to be.
"What? Prove it? How?"
Maria's arms were crossed, "You think about it. I'll be-."
She was interrupted by Michael's lips diving towards hers; Maria quickly untangled her arms from her self to around Michael's neck. She ran her fingers through his hair as she kissed him. Finally, the boy had done something right… For once.
