(Open to see Liz crying in her car)
*What am I going to do without Max? Oh god, Maria and Alex don't know. I
have to tell them*
(Liz starts her car and drives to Maria's house, as she knocks on the door
she tries not to burst into tears)
Maria: Hey girl, Come in, Alex and I were just watching a movie. Honey, you look like shit. Have you been crying? Has something happened?
(Unable to speak and having held her composure for this long, Liz just shakes her head and breaks down and sobs.)
Maria: Oh God, Something has happened. Come here, Alex cut the movie off. Liz, come in the living room. (Maria pulls a hysterical Liz into her arms and sits her down) What happened?
(Sitting in-between Maria and Alex, Liz tells them everything that happened at the cave and when she finishes Maria breaks down into tears and Alex sits back speechless)
Maria: No! I wont believe it until I hear it from Michael's own lips.
Liz: Sweetie its true. I gotta get home but call me later okay.
Alex: Liz, Are you sure that you want to be alone now?
Liz: Yeah Alex, I'm okay now. I'll be fine. I just need some time alone.
Maria: Yeah, No hard feelings Alex but I think I need some time too.
Alex: I understand. Call me if you need anything.
Liz: We will. I love you guys. Bye.
(Cut to Max, Isabel, Michael and Tess in Max's jeep on the way home)
Tess: Max, what are we going to do? We have to stick together. I am glad that you have accepted you destiny with me and we are together.
Max: We are not together Tess. We never will be.
Tess: But Max, you heard the message. Everyone did.
Max: Shut up Tess. Just shut up. Liz is my destiny now and forever. You and I may have been married in our past life but that's just what it is. Past. This is our new life and I will spend it with Liz!
Michael: Maxwell, stop shouting.
Max: No! I won't stop shouting. Are you happy with this? Last I heard you were going to tell Maria that you love her. Has that changed?
Michael: No but shouting wont solve anything. I don't like this any more than you do. But just stop shouting.
Max: Fine. But I will find a way for Liz and I to be together. You can make sure of that.
(They drop Tess off first and Max speeds away before she is even to the door. Cut to Liz writing in her journal on the patio, just then Maria walks in and sits down)
Maria: Hey girl.
Liz: Hey, how you holding up? Maria: Seeing that I haven't heard from or seen Michael yet, okay. But ask me after I see him.
Liz: Maria, I have to leave Roswell. I have to go somewhere that I don't think of Max when I turn every corner. I am going to go visit my Aunt Cindy in California. It's summer break and school doesn't start until September so I will have at least 4 months to get over max. I just need time to get my head together. You understand right?
Maria: Yeah I do. I wish I could go with you but I can't leave until I talk to Michael and he tells me that it's over between us.
Liz: Well, I am leaving tomorrow at 11:00 and I want you to go to the airport with me. Maria, you cant tell max either. Now matter what. He can't know.
Maria: Okay, I gotta go but I'll be here tomorrow morning.
(After Maria leaves, Liz goes inside and changes into an old button down shirt that Max gave to her long ago. After changing she remembered that she forgot to put her journal away and climbs back out onto the patio to put it away.)
Max: (whispering) Liz?
Liz: Max? What are you doing here? I figured you'd be with Tess.
Max: No of course not. I love you. I could never be with Tess. You are my destiny Liz. Now and forever.
Liz: (starts crying) Oh Max, I love you too. I didn't know what I was going to do without you.
Max:(opens his arms) Come here.
(Liz runs into his open arms and he holds her tight. As he holds her he notices that she is wearing his thin button down shirt that he gave her and that she is shivering from the cold night air)
Max: Liz, you're shivering, let's talk inside.
(Once inside Liz sits on the bed and Max tells her everything that he told Tess.)
Max: And that's when I came over her.
Liz: Max, hold me please.
(Max sits beside her on the bed and wraps his arms around her. Turning slowly in his arms to face her Liz kisses Max and then he deepens the kiss. Liz runs her hands over his buttons on his shirt and begins to unbutton them. Max pulls away)
Max: Liz, we can't do this.
Liz: Max, I need you and only you.
Max: Are you sure?
Liz: Yes I am very sure.
(Max slowly undresses Liz and then she undresses Max. As they lay there together in their underwear Max asks Liz again)
Max: Liz, are you absolutely sure? We can stop right now.
(Liz all but rips the last of Max's clothes off)
Max: Well I guess I got my answer. (Laughs and pulls her close)
Maria: Hey girl, Come in, Alex and I were just watching a movie. Honey, you look like shit. Have you been crying? Has something happened?
(Unable to speak and having held her composure for this long, Liz just shakes her head and breaks down and sobs.)
