A/N: Hello again, faithful readers. I'm so sorry it took this long to get
this chapter out. Okay, the song is "My Sundown" by Jimmy Eat World.
Enjoy!
Leaving on a Train
Two days later, Liz was packing her bags. She was alone in the apartment. She took one last look around before placing a letter on the bed. Then, fighting back tears, she left.
~~
Max entered his home and called out to Liz. When no one answered, he called out again. "Liz?" Again, no answer. He searched the place, looking for a note signifying where she had gone. When he reached that bedroom, he saw an envelope on his pillow. Upon closer inspection, he saw his name hand written on the front.. Opening it, he found his worst fears confirmed. She was gone.
There's no one in town I know You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that. I thought I might get one more chance.
Sitting on the bus that was taking her away, Liz looked out the window and couldn't help but crying.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
He had to sit down- fast. Everything was spinning. She was gone and all that was left of her was a note. This was not happening.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
The world was passing by so quickly. How do you make it stop, she thought, panicking.
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
The world blurred. Max reached up to rub his eyes and felt the tears forming there. What had changed in two days? They were blissfully happy only a few days ago.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Why did I leave? Everything was going to be perfect, and now I've ruined it. 'I just want to go back,' she repeated in her head.
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god wouldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
Why did she leave? Was it because of Jason? Was it something I did? 'I just want to go back,' he repeated in his head.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.

The constant clatter and motion of the train had Liz asleep within half an hour. Sleeping most of the way, she dreamed of things past. She dreamed of sophomore year, being shot, looking up to see Max after he healed her, the instant connection whenever they touched after that fateful day, everything that made her love him was all complied into that one dream. When she awoke, she cried for the first time in months.
~~
Max couldn't move for who knows how long after he read the life-changing note. He just sat there on the edge of the bed, staring at an invisible spot on the wall. Finally, the phone broke him from his trance. Not having the will power to move, he let the machine get it. Big mistake on his part. He had forgotten that Liz had done the new recording and hearing her voice was about to break him. After the obnoxious beep, he heard muttering coming from the line and a "Dammit, of course they're not picking up right now.", when it registered it was Maria, he grabbed the phone.
"Sorry, Maria," he told the rather pissed off voice.
"You'd better be sorry you ungrateful, poor excuse for a-"
"She's gone, Maria."
"Oh god," she gasped before going silent, a rare thing for Maria. "Cedar oil, cedar oil.dammit where is it?!?!?!" She had obviously moved on from the shock aspect and on to the pissed off portion.
"Maria," he said gently, almost questioning.
"Oh god," she said, dissolving into tears. From the other end of the line, he heard Michael comforting her then the line went dead. "At least she has someone to comfort her," he muttered. "I'm not jealous, nope, not a bit."
~~
When the train stopped, Liz gathered her bags and made her way into the station. She looked around, absorbing her surroundings. 'So this is what Boston is like,' she thought.
A/N: Sorry is I get details mixed up, I haven't gone back and read this for details in a while an am too lazy to do so. If there is a little mistake, fix it in your head and if it's that huge, let me know in a review. Okay, that's all for now people. I'm working on it. We have exams this week ::gags/dies:: so I probably won't get another update out until next week.FALL BREAK IS THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
