Chapter 6
It had been a year and a half since that night at the bar. Max never said a word after that night, in fact, he left the next day, claiming he had gotten called in to work. At least that's what he told his parents.
Liz had sat on the porch and watched him drive away. Everyone else stood at various windows of Kyle and Tess' house watching. By then, they had all been pissed. The next morning Liz asked them for their help, and they had immediately volunteered. She, Isabel, and Alex had gone to northern California to find a house. Maria, Michael, Tess, and Kyle had gone to Boston. Maria and Tess went to work packing Liz up, with Michael there to make sure they didn't go after Max. But, he wasn't able to stop Kyle from going after Max.
Kyle went to Max's house and told him exactly what everyone thought of him, including Isabel. Max stood there and took it, and, when he asked what Kyle was doing in Boston, Kyle told him the truth. Max's expression never changed when he heard that Liz was moving. Max only reacted when Kyle said that Max would never know where she went. Then he started yelling, and Kyle realized Max had truly lost it. As Kyle left Max's apartment, he hoped for everyone's sake that Max would come to his senses and be able to get Liz back, and the life they were meant to share. Because, without Liz, Max was nothing.
Liz had moved to a city between Sacramento and San Francisco, called Suisun. She worked at Armijo high school in the next town over. No one ever told Max where she was, not even the families. The first time they had seen each other was at Isabel and Alex's wedding six months earlier. Max never said a word to her, and he left early when the song the girls had sung was played. After that day, even the families started to get angry, not only had Max hurt Liz terribly, but also he hurt his sister by leaving her wedding twenty minutes into the reception.
Now, everyone was back in Roswell. Isabel's first child was due, and Liz was going to deliver the baby. Iz and Alex had taken time off and went up north to be with Liz after Iz "found out" she was pregnant. The two women had become inseparable, and Isabel and Alex were in the process of moving to Suisun, to the house next to Liz in fact. Michael and Maria were also thinking of moving to the area, though they didn't tell anyone of their plans.
Kyle and Tess had moved to Suisun not long after Liz. Tess had fallen completely in love with the area, and actually lived two streets away from Liz. The only one who had not been in much contact with the group had been Max. He had called about once a year to Iz and Michael, but he never called Kyle or Tess, not even when their children were born two month earlier. Tess had triplets, two boys and their baby sister. The boys looked a lot like Kyle, except for their blue eyes which all three had, and the girl was the spitting image of Tess.
Max had stayed in Boston, and had finished Medical School. No one knew much as to how he was doing, except for those once a year calls, which lasted no more than ten minutes, all information came from his mom. They didn't even know if he was going to come see his first nephew.
