Chapter 14

Normal

A/N: Candies you'll like this chapter... I decided to bring up other relationships besides Max and Liz in this one so bare with me! I promise i will try t update soon!

A Month later

A few days after Max had come to Liz on the balcony the two of them started dated and have been dating ever since. Liz was so happy, she found this to be the perfect solution. They both knew what obsticals that could/would be ahead for them to take. And they were ready for it. Being with Max, made Liz miss her old life less and less. It was another school day and Liz was walking hand in hand with max down the halls to lunch. Maria and Alex have become friends with Michael, Max and Isabel. But they don't know anything about where they are from. So now the six of them sit together at lunch.

As Max and Liz approach their table of friends they smile at them ...

While back at the table

"Augh.. Look at them they are all soo lovely dovey!"- Maria exclaims out of annoyance and jelousy.

Maria has recently really started to like Michael but he shows absolutly no intrest in her... so thus Maria was jelous of Max and Liz's relationship. Not that she would tell anyone that.

"Yea I know"- Agreed Michael

Maria smiled at him but in return he just looked away from her.. not wanting to meet her eyes

As Max and Liz was about ready to sit down next to their friends

"Ahhh Love is in the air!"- Alex excliams

Max blushes somewhat and Liz juss smiles as they look into eachothers eyes...this makes the whole table start laughing

Soon both Max and Liz were laughing with them..

This is it.. Liz thought

This is the life that I was suppose to lead! Everything here is perfect!- Liz kept thinking as she laughed and looked at her friends

As lunch went on the six of them made plans to meet Maria and Liz at the crashdown and have lunch then after their shift they were all going to go see a movie.

The last thought that entered Liz's mind before she and Max headed off to bio was

This is what being normals like... why did I ever think that leaving normal was better?- Liz thought

The two of them once again holding hands head off to bio leaving the group behind them

Isabel and Alex both walk off to go to their next classes leaving Maria and Michael behind

"Sooo..."- Maria said wanting to start a conversation up with Michael

"What are you doing friday night?"- Michael asked

"Nothing why?"- Maria said but inwardly her mind was screaming this is it.. he's gonna ask me out!

"Nevermind"-Michael said... he couldn't believe he had almost asked Maria out... now he know he was loosing it.

"Oh"- Maria said trying not to show her disapointment but was doing a bad job at it she looked over at Michael then figured if he wasn't going to ask her out she'd have to ask him

"Do you wanna come over my house and watch some movies?"- Maria suggested

"uh... Sure"- Michael said

"Cool"- Maria said while walking away with a smile on her face... she asked him out... cept running through her mind

Michael stood there dumbfounded as Maria walked away.. had he just said yes to going out with Maria... Michael had known he liked her but he just never saw himself as dating. Now here he was with a date....

A part of Michael was worried about how to act on it.. and the other half was excited that he might finally have something normal.. something like Max had

Michael smiled to himself and walked toward his own class

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Friday Night~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Maria POV~

What should I wear? He'll be here in an hour and I still have to do hair and makeup! I have to look drop dead gorgeous good. I want him to see me as something more then just a friend. And tonight is the only chance I have of doing that. But I can't find anything to wear!

~End of PoV~

Maria searched frantically around her closet trying to find something to wear... in the end she decided to call Liz.

Liz knew Maria's whole closet because they trade off clothes alot

Maria called Liz up and went through all the possible outfits to wear and together they decided on jeans and and a white halter top. That way is was causal but nice and very appealing.

After Maria hung up the phone with Liz she quickly got changed and did her hair and makeup.

Next thing she knew she heard a knock on the door...

Maria took a deep breath and went over to answer it

~Michael POV~

First thought... WOW Maria looks great!

Second thought... what second thought??

~End of POV~

Approximitly ten seconds after entering the room Michael leaned in and kissed Maria..

After they finshed kissing .. Maria smiled

"What you wanna watch"- She asked while leading him to the couch

"What do you have?"- Michael asked -- But he knew he didn't care what they watched because he was certain he wouldnt really be watching it... not after that kiss

Maria listed all the movies she had rented and they chose one.

Neither of them really knew what they chose because as soon as the movie was in they started making out

~Maria POV~

I got him now! And i am never going to let him go.. this just fits so well

~Michael POV~

This is a mistake... but who cares?

Liz's Journal entry

"I have decided something today... something I am certain of. I don't want to go back to my reality. This is what life should be like, this is what life could have been like for us. All of us happy, not running in fear of some conspiracy. Not trying to hunt down the past. This is what life ment to be for us. Maybe this is afterlife... maybe when I died this is the heaven I went to. I don't really think that is what this is.. but according to all logic (what little there is in life) After the shooting I should have forgotten about the other life.. my memories to cease to be. But I remember it all and I dont like that life. That life was full of pain... none of us ever got a break. None of us ever got a second chance till now. Am I am not going to screw this up. This is Normal! This is my safe life that I desperatly missed. A safe life that I never got a chance at. Life is funny sometimes.. I never thought that if I had never been shot it could have ended up like this. But there is a part of me that is always alert. Looking for the danger... its the part of me that remembers. Its the part of me that says everything has been to quiet since I came here. Its the part of me that feels like something very wrong is gonna happen. It drives at me to find out what... but nothing could happen now. Its safe now isn't it?"

Liz shut her diary and walked back inside.. wandering how Maria's date with Michael is going. But knowing them they are either making out by now of trying to kill eachother. Either way Liz knew it would go according to Maria's plan. Her and Michael would most likely hook up that night. Liz smiled at that thought and then called to talk to Max
