Liz POV
Liz Ortecho sighed at the paper in front of her; it was a letter from Maria. It wasn't anything to really worry about. Liz thought, it was just Maria blowing off some steam. Liz HAD in fact lied to Maria about staying away from Michael. She had done the complete opposite! She had stolen him away from a girl who had done absolutely NOTHING mean, wrong, or unkind in anyway to Liz. She felt horrible and just looking at Isabel's face was torture. Liz saw Isabel but Isabel hadn't seen her. Maybe Liz should just break things off with Michael, maybe Isabel and he could restart or something. But the look in Michael's sultry eyes told a different story.
He was in love with Liz.
Closing her eyes Liz began to read the note from Maria Deluca:
Liz,
Although I stressed to you how bad things would become if you pursued Michael Guerin you deliberately went behind my back and did it anyway. I really don't know what to say to you Liz. I'm actually surprised I'm writing to you at all. I thank Alex for agreeing to pass this to you because I have no idea what I would do to you if I had to hand deliver this note. Gosh Liz how could you? Do you have any idea what you've done? Seriously Liz, I say this as a friend, yes I know you think I hate your guts –and don't get me wrong I am furious at you– but just think of the effects you are going to have to deal with when Max gets here. You do know he's coming right? I didn't tell you because I didn't want to get involved again but me and Max go way back Liz. Back to when we were in diapers. We're like brother and sister we're so tight. Anyways I wanted you to stop your thing with Michael for two reasons –well actually three. Your heart, Michael's heart, and most importantly… Max's heart. I know this may hurt you to know but that boy loves you Liz, it's the real thing and you know it. That's why you're scared. That's why you seek comfort in Michael because you know you can control him and you know deep down inside that you two are not meant to be together so you feel that its your comfort area. Your safety zone. But in the process Liz what you have actually done is ruin two soul-mate couples. I know Michael thinks he loves you –and maybe he really does, but Liz. Isabel's a wreck. I know you don't care and don't want to know but it's the truth. She can't eat, she can't sleep, and god she can't even come to face the two of you at school. Does Michael even know this? Has he even thought about what he did? I bet not, knowing that prick. Anyways I'm cutting this letter short because I have nothing else to say to you at this moment. But just so you know, Isabel never gets screwed over. So watch your back Liz Ortecho, I mean it. Isabel's the most popular girl in school, who do you think you ARE?
Oh yea.
NO BODY.
-Maria
Liz dropped the note on the floor, her hands trembling with anger. Who the HELL did Maria think SHE was? NO ONE talks to Liz Ortecho like that. NO ONE. And what was that shit about Max coming back? If he were he would tell Liz. Not MARIA.
"What's the matter babe?" Michael Guerin came up behind Liz and kissed her cheek.
"Nothing." Liz crumbled the note she retrieved from the floor.
"What's that?" Michael tried to take it.
"God it's nothing okay?" Liz walked to a nearby garbage and threw the note away. "Michael I want to leave for lunch." She said taking him by his jacket collar with two hands on each one.
"And where do you wish to go?" He raised an interested eyebrow.
"Guerin! Get your ass over here!" A jock about Michael's build yelled from a table.
"C'mon." Michael took her hand.
"I said I want to go Michael." Liz said defiant.
"We will but I've been neglecting them for weeks now, they're my friends Liz." Michael grimaced.
"And what am I?" Liz crossed her arms.
"You're my girl." Michael smirked.
Liz rolled her eyes, "Whatever." She walked with him to the table of popular people.
"Hey, Hey! Look who it is! Guerin finally decided to acknowledge his buddies." The guy with Michael's build said.
"Shut it Garcia, I can remember a time when you left us for four weeks for a chick." Michael sat on the table, pulling Liz into his lap.
"So who's the little lady you've got there Guerin? Too good to introduce her to us?" The 'Garcia' guy said winking at Liz.
"Guys, this is Liz, Liz, this is the guys." Michael grinned.
"Hey." Liz nodded politely smiling.
"So you're the bitch who stole Michael from Iz huh?" A blonde girl with baby blue eyes said to Liz, she was sitting on the Garcia guy's lap.
Liz scowled at the girl and felt Michael tense from beneath her, "I didn't STEAL anything." Liz growled.
"Coulda fooled me." The girl snorted.
"You got something to say just say it." Liz barked.
"Funny, cuz I think I just did." The girl shot back.
"You want some of me?" Liz stood tall.
"Guerin hold your bitch back please." The girl rolled her eyes.
"Oh hell no." Liz jumped from Michael's grasp to the girl.
"What the f-"
But the girl's words were cut off by Liz's right hook to her nose.
"Oh my god! I think you broke my nose!" The girl shrieked holding her face in her hands.
"Shoulda kept you fat mouth shut then bitch." Liz spat turning and walking away from the scene. She got no more than six feet when she found herself face to face Isabel Lovington.
Her face was plain; no make-up consumed her flawless skin. Her eyes were red and puffy as if she had been crying; Liz didn't get a chance to react before Isabel's fist came pounding into her face.
"Shhit!" Liz said taken back, "Sonofabitch!" Liz took a couple steps back.
"I can't believe you Liz. I thought you were a friend. I thought that you were cool. But you're nothing more than a backstabbing slut of a bitch!" Isabel screamed.
Liz stared back at Isabel contemplating her next move, were they about to fight? Was Isabel freaking Lovington about to challenge Liz Ortecho to a brawl?
"What are you gonna do Isabel? FIGHT me? You think you actually have a chance at hitting me again? You caught me off guard babe, there will be no more of those." Liz shook her head.
Isabel stood scowling at Liz, her hands balled into fists and her breathing coming out is small gasps. Where the hell was Michael anyways? Liz thought.
"I don't know what to do with you Liz. I want to pound you into the round but at the same time I know it's not worth it. Women should never fight over a guy, especially FRIENDS. But you're NOT a friends Liz, so that's why I don't know what to do right now." Isabel said serious.
People all around were crowding them; Liz looked around for Bella but couldn't find her.
Maria came out from behind Isabel, "What's going on here?" She asked.
"You tell me, I just get done reading a threatening note then I pop some pom pom in the nose for bad mouthing me and now I'm about to kick your girl Isabel's ass for the sucker punch she just got me with." Liz explained flooring.
Maria's eyes widened, "Isabel! I can't believe you actually did it! You stood up for yourself, way to go babe!" Maria high five'd Isabel.
"I couldn't really believe it myself." Isabel laughed rubbing her fist.
Liz stood confused before the two friends, "What the hell is this? Are we gonna fight or what?" Liz shouted irritated. One minute Isabel was hitting Liz square in the jaw, the next she's high fiving Maria for it?
Isabel looked to Maria, "She's not worth it." Maria responded.
The answer stung Liz's heart like a needle. Wow, Maria really was never going to speak with Liz again. It hurt but at the same time it gave Liz the adrenaline rush she hadn't felt in a while, rage replaced her soft side and Liz blew up.
"You know what?" Liz spat walking up to the two friends, "You both are nothing but a bunch of white trash pinche putas and if you think that you're gonna get away with pulling a fast one on Liz Ortecho then you got another thing coming," She paused and stared into Isabel's eyes.
Isabel took a rebellious step forward –wrong move. Liz charged at her with a quick and hard jab to her eye and then a hit to her throat. Isabel staggered backwards with Maria running to her aide. But Liz wasn't threw yet, she then pulled Maria away from Isabel and pulled Isabel by her sweater face to face with Liz.
"Starting to regret that sucker punch?" Liz shouted in Isabel's face. Liz raised her fist about to punch Isabel again in the face when she was lifted up into the air away. "What the –let go!" Liz screamed.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Michael bellowed pulling Liz up right to face him.
"She started it!" Liz shouted in defense.
Michael shook his head angry, "Are you crazy?" He said searching her eyes.
"Look what you did to Isabel!" Maria shrieked.
Liz and Michael turned around to look. Isabel sat upright choking from Liz's hit to her throat. Her right eye was beginning to swell. Michael stared open mouthed; he took a step towards her but thought better and turned back towards Liz. It was then that Liz saw it.
Saw that he still loved her. Liz would never match up to Isabel. Liz never expected to, Michael didn't match up to Max. Inside Michael knew that too. But they both couldn't deny their own feelings for each other either. And for that reason, Michael took Liz's hand in his, squeezed it a bit and led her away from the scene.
Away to his apartment.

Max POV
"One ticket to Roswell New Mexico please." Max asked the ticket lady.
She tapped the keyboard fast, just like Liz used too. Max fidgeted uncomfortable, he had really messed up. Hopefully he could get Liz to forgive him. God knows he had embarrassed Kayla and damaged her emotionally.
Saying Goodbye to everyone else was easy. He didn't. He just snuck out of his bunk two nights ago and hitch hiked his way to where he stood. He had made his way to Sacramento International Airport.
"First Class or Coach?" She asked eyeing him.
Max smiled charmingly, "I travel first class, only the best." He winked at the young lady her red hair shining.
"Window seat or aisle?" The red haired lady smiled.
"Doesn't matter, when does the flight leave?" Max asked leaning on the counter.
She read the screen, "4:30." She looked back at him. "Is that alright?" She asked looking into his eye. Yup, she wanted him. If he told her to go strip in the bathroom and walk out naked, she'd most likely do it. But Max had more important things to worry about.
Max nodded. He had four hours until his flight left. She told him his total, he paid cash and then he loaded his luggage.
He walked around the airport wandering nowhere in particular, but he stopped in a gift shop.
Where he saw a snow globe.
It wasn't anything significant, it wasn't even very attractive to look at, but what he saw in it was what got his attention. Inside was a house, a two- story house with a white picket fence and a big oak tree in the front. A walkway of stone and flowers outlining the house and walkway. It was beautiful. It was his and Liz's dream house with the white picket fence and two story complex. It was what Max had always pictured himself with his family. On the bottom of the globe it read:
Home Is Where The Heart Is.
It was his and Liz's home, and it was where their heart was going to live.
Together.
