Chapter 13
Finding Out the Whole Truth
It was friday night and Max was sitting staring at his ceiling. He was trying for the what seemed like the millionth time not to think of Liz. Not to think of what she knew, not to think of how she was avoiding him just about the same as he was avoiding her. Max heard Michael and Iz come in, they said they were going to the movies but Max said he'd rather stay in that night.
"Hey"- Iz greeted her brother while stepping into his room with Michael right behind her.
"Hey"- Max replied
"We got to tell you something"- Iz confessed... orginally Michael and her had decided not to tell Max about there meeting with Liz... but Iz couldn't not tell him
Iz glanced over at Michael and saw him rolling his eyes at her.
"What?"- Max asked.. sitting up on his bed
"We talked to Liz tonight..." Iz started
"WHAT?!!?"- Max asked but then stopped to calm down
"I thought we all agreed to avoid her"- Max said after restraining himself.
Max didn't quite know why he was so protective of Liz compared to Iz and Michael he just was
"Well you see Michael and I... we needed to see if she could be trusted"- Iz stated
"Yea.. and?"- Max persisted
"She ok Max"- Michael told him
Not wanting to go any further.. for the truth was that after talking to Liz he felt a whole different level of respect for her and he didn't want to get into it with Max.
The whole story and situation seemed unreal even to Michael but hearing Liz talk about the past or future (whatever it should be called) seeing her eyes express how much she missed them ... us.. Michael knew that she wasn't there to kill them or trick them. Probally a part of her wants to go home just as much as he does. And that ment that the two of them were on the same wavelength. But for some reason Michael didnt want Max to know that yet.
"Well I'm outta here"- Michael informed Max
After that Michael headed out...
Isabel stayed in the room with Max...
"Max, we just didn't know if we could trust her"- Iz told Max trying to explain
"Well Michael seems to trust her.. what about you?"- Max asked
"I think the scariest part about this whole thing is that I do believe her"- Iz told Max
Max smirked at her
"I know what you mean"- He said
Iz hugged her brother then headed to her own room...
"Goodnight Iz"- Max tells her as she leaves his room
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Liz's Balcony~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liz sat on her lawn chair, thinking. Something started bothering her after her convosation with Michael and Iz. Something clicked in her, Liz started remembering Future Max. After she changed his future, he dissapeared... so why hadn't her memories. Does that mean she made the wrong choice, that day in the crashdown? Did she just give them the same fate just sooner? Or Later? Liz was lost in her thoughts that at first she didn't hear someone calling her name..
"Liz!"--- Liz heard someone call her
Liz walked over and looked down her balcony to see who was calling her
"Max"- Liz said
"Can I come up?"- Max asked
"Yea"- Liz told him
A few seconds later Max was up on the balcony with her
"So Max what do you want?"- Liz asked
"I actually wanted to apologize if Michael or Iz intimidated you earlier"- Max told Liz
Liz laughed
"They act tough.. dont they? But I knew they wouldn't hurt me"- Liz informed Max
"It seems you have alot of faith on the people you did know... you all must have been really close"- Max said
"Yea, we were... we all were just thrown together because of one incident that lead to another after another. We all had to learn to lean on one another. We all had to trust eachother"- Liz told Max
"Its hard for us to believe that we could trust others. Our whole lives we thought it was the world vs us. Not the best way to live, but the safest"- Max said
"Yea I know.... and there will be a time were its the world vs all of us... but it was ok, we knew we had eachother"- Liz told h im
"How did you get sent back Liz?"- Max asked
Liz looked around the area, anywhere but at Max. How could she tell him that he died... that they all died? Its not something you ever think you want to hear
"It's a long story"- Liz told him
"Well I got all night"- Max informed her
Liz's eyes were tearing as she remember that night... as she remember there fear, and how the room was so quite that you could everyones heart beating, fast.. and faster. She remembered leaning against Max...just having him hold her and the conversation that they had before the FBI came in.
"We were trapped... the FBI was all around us. None of us knew how they got there, but they did. They surrounded our room. We all sat there and just a little before they came in we all talked. Talked about the memories us... this family of teenagers (really) had made. And the funny thing was is that they all would take it back just so that everyone else could have lived. Not for themselves but others!"-Liz said but stopped to wipe the water forming over her eyes
"When the FBI came in.. they came in guns blazing and ready to take us all dead rather then alive... and to thisday I can still hear Maria's screams and I can still see the blood of everyone before they got to U and I...I blacked out then and woke up the next day here"- Liz told Max... their eyes now locked on one another.
Max didn't say anything for awhile, the news he heard was hard to take. Liz had showed him a few days before about how Liz, Maria, Alex, Sheriff and even Kyle had gotten in with their group. She had showed him about Tess and Nasedo... he saw Alex's death, ghe saw Kivar, Nickolas and the skins and he also saw that he was the King of a planet he knew nothing about. But Max felt like there was stuff that Liz held back... and that was one of the things. She tried to save them from the pain... all the pain that she/they had suffered. What they could suffer from.
Max and Liz kept there eyes locked, as Max stepped closer to her
Next thing either of them knew, they were kissing..
Liz pulled away first, he had caught her off guard...she hadn't had time to block the flashes he might have gotten... as Liz looked into his eyes she saw... he knew about them. He knew everything now. She could no longer protect him from the pain...
"Max?"- Liz asked him... he kept avoiding eye contact with her
"I saw everything Liz, everything you didnt show me before.... why didn't you show me it before?"- Max asked
Liz knew he was talking about the part of her and him getting married
"Because there was some things you needed to find out on your own Max.... don't ever catch me off guard like that again"- Liz told him
For some reason she found herself angry that he found out...
But she was even more angry is why didn't she want him to know?
