Ch. 14
Feel My Pain
Liz POV
"You still love her don't you?" Liz said when she and Michael got to his apartment and stood outside the door.
Michael turned his key and opened the door, stepping aside for Liz to walk in. He ignored her comment; Liz walked inside and sat on the sofa. He wouldn't say it, but she knew he still loved Isabel. Who couldn't? She was beautiful and tall and popular and talented and smart and. Liz had to stop thinking of all the things Isabel was that Liz was not. It hurt too much to know just how high of a pedestal everyone had Isabel up on.
"Liz?" Michael said breaking her thoughts.
"Huh?" Liz shook her head clear to see Michael sitting next to her.
"I love [I]you[/I] Liz, you're the one I want. You're the one I choose." Michael said looking in her eyes, "Alright?" He took her chin in his hand and kissed her lips softly.
"Michael-" She was interrupted by Michael's mouth.
His kisses grew hotter and more demanding, Liz ran fingers through his hair and wrapped her legs around his body. Liz lay beneath Michael on his couch, his lips traveling down her neck, his hands roaming her body. His tongue grazing her skin, she felt high on ecstasy, just as she always had when things got serious between her and Michael. She tried to push him away, they needed to talk. But his lips were so persistent; his body was so ready, she didn't want to but he did. So what was she to do?
"C'mon." She nuzzled his nose with hers. He picked her up in his well structured arms and carried to her to his room, to the bed they knew all to well. Sometimes Liz thought that sex was all he wanted from her. It wasn't intimate anymore to her, it was a task. Something that she had to do. She hugged him close as he walked to the room, waiting until he would dump her on the bed and attack her viciously with his gracious mouth and lust filled hands.
Liz sighed, she held him tighter to her, they were almost to the room.
"What is it?" He stopped half way through the door to the room.
Liz flinched surprised, "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" He repeated more persistent.
"N-nothings wrong." Liz said surprised once again.
Michael sighed sitting at the edge of the bed with Liz in his lat facing towards him, "You don't want to do this." He said quietly, he tucked her hair behind her eyes; Liz flinched. Max always did that. "See what I mean?" Michael angered.
Liz shook her head, "No, no its alright. I want to do this." Liz said kissing his cheek.
Michael shook his head, "No you don't."
Liz was annoyed, "Yes I do! Now you have sex with me right now Michael Guerin!" Liz pushed him backwards on the bed and laughed.
Michael took her small frame in his arms and kissed her lips, "Baby you don't have to do anything you don't wanna do okay?" He kissed her forehead and brought her head down to rest on his chest, he let out a long deep breath, "You wanna tell me what happen today?" He finally said running relaxing fingers through Liz's long dark hair.
"You saw what happen." Liz mumbled curling up closer to Michael.
"I know but. I also know you didn't have to do what you did, it could have all be avoided you know. You didn't to touch is-"
"Just shut up Michael." Liz's heart broke.
Michael closed his eyes and continued to caresses her back and run fingers through her hair.
Liz closed her eyes and sighed, lightly breathing through her nose. She thought Michael was the one who would make the pain go away, she thought that maybe his love would just wipe Max out altogether. But just knowing that deep down inside that Michael secretly hated Liz a bit for what she did to Isabel, but she just realized that being with Michael.
Just made her hurt even more.
"I love you Liz." Michael breathed falling asleep beneath her.
Liz smiled feeling better, she kissed his cheek and fell asleep too, "I love you too Michael." She whispered taking his hand in hers and kissing his palm, she honestly did this time.

Bella's POV
"Oh. My. God." Erin came running towards Bella after her fourth period English Class was through.
"What?" Bella asked looking around for Liz, her lunch had just ended and Bella's was just beginning. Bella hoped to talk to Liz before she went to her fourth period, preferably without Michael all up on her. Bella rolled her eyes irritated just thinking about it.
"You wanna go out for lunch?" Erin asked.
"Nah, don't you gotta go to class?" Bella looked over Erin's shoulder.
"No, I have second lunch. I just always skip to first." She shrugged, "So?"
"No. I wanna stay and scoop out the hotties." Bella winked, giving up her search for Liz. "So what were you going to tell me about?"
"OH! I can't believe I almost forgot! Liz Parker, she owns the CrashDown you work at, she like, [I]totally[/I] kicked Isabel's ass today! She also broke Sasha Thornbergs nose! Oh it was [I]hilarious[/I] to see just how ghetto Liz Parker is!" Erin laughed, "Oh Bella I tell ya that girl SO does not belong here. She like the total OPPOSITE of classy. You should have seen her and Isabel go at, Isabel just came out of nowhere and then BoOm! She sucker punched Liz in the face! They like bitched at each other for a while and then BoOm! BoOm! BoOm!" Erin reenacted the events that sent Bella's blood boiling and her hands tightening into fists.
"Erin." Bella said calmly.
"Oh wait I didn't tell you what happen when Michael got there! He like [I]pulled[/I] Liz up into the air off Isabel and you could SO tell that he desperately wanted to go to Isabel and check her out, maybe even beg her to take him back, I dunno. But he definitely wanted to go to her. Then Liz was like standing there looking hella dumb and he turned and they walked out of the quad hand in hand and left the school." Erin took a breath from her constant babbling, "No doubt to his apartment to fuck." She giggled, "Boy that Liz Parker sure got class." She laughed again.
Bella and Erin still stood in the hall where Bella's locker was, the hall now empty Bella knew no one would notice if she just.
"Erin." Bella said again.
"I swear it's like every time this school get a new student they.."
Bella blocked out the voice that gave her chills of annoyance and walked away.
"Bella! Bella wait!" Erin chased after her.
Bella spun around angry, "I don't ever want to hear you talk about mi hermanita like that again, me and Liz. We go way back, back to the "ghetto" you call it." Bella sneered, "I hate this fuckin' school full of preps, and you just showed me that you fit right in with the crowd. Get out of my face before we have our own little fight club right here." Bella snapped to the stunned Erin.
Still silent and unmoving, mouth gaped open in shock Erin didn't say a word. And then Bella left. To find Liz? No. To kick Isabel's ass? Maybe. But her main concern was getting a hold of Max and getting his ass down here to Roswell, New Mexico. Liz definitely was getting out of control and needed to be put back in check. And Bella only knew one person who could do that to her and live to tell about it.
Max.

Max POV
It was almost time, he was almost there. What would happen once he got there? He hadn't enough time in the world to convince Liz to forgive him. But he would do it, he would wait his whole life for her.
