Discovering Yourself
Chapter 8
Ring, ring, ring...
"H'lo?"
"Hey, Max, sorry if I woke you up, I was just wondering what you were doing today. Do you want to do anything?"
"Tess?" Max asked in his sleepy state. "What time is it?"
"It's 9:30 in the morning."
"Oh, um, I don't know," Max suddenly remembered everything he had learned about Tess and said,
"I guess we could meet at the Crashdown," 'Don't let her know you suspect anything, keep calm,' he instructed himself mentally.
"Ok, how about I'll meet you there in an hour? 10:30?" Tess asked.
"Sure, 1 hour. I'll see you there Tess." Max hung up the phone and fell back down on his bed and let out a heavy sigh. He picked up the phone and dialed Liz's number.
"Hello?"
"Hi, is Liz there?" Max asked gently.
"Yeah, may I asked who's calling?" Amy inquired.
"It's Max."
"OK, one second," he heard the phone get placed down and shuffling, and voices then,
"Hey Max," Liz said with a high upbeat tone.
"Hey, I just thought I should let you know, that Tess and I are going to the Crashdown late. I didn't know what else to say, we have to act like we know nothing. I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable or scared or anything," he rambled on.
"Max, take a breathe. Geez, you're starting to sound like Maria. I'll be fine, I'm not afraid of her, I'm just a little freaked out that she was my killer in our past life you know. Especially since we're related."
"Yeah, I'm sorry I have to spend time with her, but until we come up with a plan we have to act normal, you know."
"Yeah I understand, we just have to think of something soon so we can be together in public again," Liz trailed off. Max smailed at that thought.
"Yeah, we'll think of something. Nothing can keep us apart." Max said seriously.
"Yeah, nothing." Liz said quietly, nervously. "Well I should probably get going, you know, work and all," Liz said.
"Yeah, me too. I guess I'll see you later." Max said regretfully.
"Yeah, bye Max." Liz said.
"Bye Liz," Max said.
Liz hung up her phone just as Maria walked into her room. At the look on Liz's face she said,
"How's Max doing?" With a smirk.
"He's coming her with Tess." Liz said with a long sigh.
"Oh," was all Maria could say.
"Yeah," Liz stood up suddenly. "Maria come here," Liz dragged her into the bathroom. "Help me get all pretty, OK?" Liz asked. Maria smirked, knowing exactly what Liz wanted to do.
"Sure," she replied as she started giving Liz a complete make over.
~~~~
"Wow, Maria, I look... amazing, thank you." Liz said happily looking at herself in the mirror.
"Well, apart from the uniform, you look hot!" Maria applauded her genious work.
"Come on your shift starts in 5, lets get you down there and admired." Maria laughed as she pushed Liz out the door.
"Ok, come with me," said Liz and they ran downstairs and slowed down just as they walked through the swinging door. As she scanned the room her eyes locked with Max's as he walked through the doors with Tess at his side. Liz felt her resolve withering away when she saw them enter together but Max's eyes told her he was sorry and that he wished he was with her. Liz nodded her head at him and turned away to begin working.
"So, how are you Max?" Tess asked resting her hand over his on the table. As soon as their hands met, Max received a rush of images of himself, but it wasn't him it was Zan, and Ava when they lived on Antar. They were happy and in love. He pulled his hand away quickly knowing it was a lie and that Tess had put those images of herself into his head.
"I'm fine," said he, looking everywhere but at her face.
"Okay, so is there anything you want to do today?" I was thinking we could go bowling, what do you think?" Tess asked looking at Max curiously, hopefully.
"Sure, why not. You wanna go now?"
"Sure, let's go." Tess said practically jumping out of her seat pulling Max with her.

After closing, Liz went to her room and began reading one of her mothers diaries. She opened the diary and a bunch of papers fell out. She picked them up and began reading over them. After reading the first page she gasped at the realization.
"Oh my god, it's the book. It's the translation to the destiny book." Liz whispered. She finished reading and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Michael, it's Liz. Can I come over? I need to talk to everyone. Well, just you Max and Isabel." Liz said in a rush.
"Sure, Liz calm down, come over and I'll call Max and Isabel, OK?"
"Yeah, sure, see you in a minute."
"Ok, bye." Michael hung up the phone then picked it up again and dialed the Evans' house.
"Hello?" Isabel asked sleepily.
"Hey, Isabel, you and Max have to come over to my place now. Liz needs to talk to us all."
"Ok, yeah we'll be there soon. Bye Michael." She hung up the phone and called through Max's door.
"Max, come on, we have to go."
"And go where?" Max asked opeing his bedroom door.
"Michael's." Was all Isabel had to say.
"Let's go." Max said grabbing his keys and ruching out of the house with Isabel hot on his trail.
As they entered the apartment the apartment, Max noticed Liz sitting on the couch with an unreadable look occupying her face.
"Is everything alright?" He asked sitting next to Liz.
"Mom had a copy of the destiny book. The translated version." Michael filled in holding a bunch of papers out to Max.
"Oh my god! What does it sat?" Isabel asked.
"Lots of stuff, but most importantly, it tells us how to get home." Michael said somberly. Once upon a time her would have been excited about this news. But now, now he had a family here. He had a sister, he had a girlfriend. He didn't want to leave.
"Wow, ok, so what do we do with it?" Isabel asked.
"Well, we could go back to Antar and save the world, so to speak. And leave Tess here." Michael said not likely the idea at all but they need to come up with options and that was always one of them.
"No, I can't do that. I can't leave earth. It's the only home I've ever known and I just can't leave it." Liz said urgently. "You guys can go if you need to, but I can't." Liz said quietly this time.
"Liz is right, I can't go either." Max said taking her hand.
"Me either, I can't leave my mom and dad." Isabel said sadly.
"Well, if Liz doesn't go, I sure as hell won't. She's the only real family I've ever known, I'm not going to risk losing that. And I can't leave Maria behind."
"So what do we do?" Liz asked.
"Well, we could get Tess to leave some how." Michael suggested.
"How?" asked Isabel.
"We could convince her that we are going to leave, then when we are about to leave, Isabel and I could ay we can't leave, Tess would accept that and once she's in Max will leave her in by herself." Michael said.
"Wow, Michael that's a pretty elaborate plan." Max said.
"I like it," Isabel said.
******
The Crashdown was just closing and the only people left were Max, Michael, Liz, Maria, Isabel, Alex and Tess. Liz walked into the back room and noticed the sheriff standing at the door in tears.
"Sheriff? Are you OK? What's wrong?" Liz asked walking over to him. He just stared at her until falling to the couch with a horrific sob.
'Th-there's been an accident..." he trailed off not willing to finish.
"What?" Liz asked surprised.
"Kyle, he's, he's... dead." Jim said while letting out another horrible sob, which caused everyone to rush into the back room. They all looked from the Sheriff to Liz who was now in tears herself, hugging him.
"Oh god," Maria gasped. "What is it?"
Liz looked at the others and said quietly. "It's Kyle, there's been an accident, he... died in a car crash tonight."
"Oh my god," Amy called from the stairs and rushed over to Jim and took him out of Liz's arms and into her own.
"Jim, I'm so sorry." Amy said as Jim began to cry on her shoulder even harder.
"Why did this happen? He was so full of life, he had such a bright future..." Jim trailed off.
"Oh, Jim..." Amy didn't know what to say so she just held him.
"Will everyone please give me a minute with Max?" Jim asked, his eyes red, cheeks tear stained.
"Yeah, OK, come on guys let's go out front." Amy replied for everyone.
When everyone was out Max sat down next to Jim.
"Max... is there anything you can do?" Jim pleaded. Max knew this was coming but when he said it, it came as such a shock.
"I-I don't know," Max was devastated by the on Jim's face.
"I mean, it, it might be too late."
"Well if I could get you to the body could you try? Please Max, this is my whole life." Jim begged.
"OK," Max agreed. "But I can't promise you anything, I'm not... God." Max said with such sorrow.
"That's all I ask." Jim said.
*******
Outside the van that held Kyle's body, the whole group stood waiting for Max to come back out.
"Max will go in and put a hand on him, then the whole van will shake a little... then the door will open... the door will open and they'll come running out with big goofy grins on they're face... they'll come out," Liz said trying to convince herself as much as the others. The door opened and Max stepped out and closed the door again. Jim nodded his head in understanding, he was broken but he understood. Max walked over to Liz and hugged her closely.
He looked at Jim and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't," he began to whisper. "There was so much blood, and he was so cold." He was on the verge of tears. "I'm so sorry."
Jim and Tess were the first to leave, and the rest went over to Michael's apartment.
"I can't believe this," Alex said. "We were just starting to get close too."
Liz was sitting in the coner of the room with her knees tucked up against her chest, she was rocking back and forth, crying silently. Being the closest to Kyle out of the whole group, she was completely devastated. Michael walked over to her and sat down beside her and pulled her into his lap and she wrapped her arms ournd her neck and buried her face in it. He held her there for quite sometime while everyone just sat and watched with a sad face.
***************
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.
When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
As Maria finished singing everyone had thrown a rose into the grave on top of Kyle's coffin. The crowd began to disperse and began to leave to go to the gather at the Valenti household.
"Sheriff?" Liz asked.
"Yeah?"
"I was wondering, could I go sit in Kyle's room?"
"Yeah, sure go ahead." Liz walked over to the room that had become Kyle's room once Tess moved into the Valenti household. She sat down on his bed and looked around at all of his stuff. She was thinking about what the police report said. 'Kyle Valenti. Suicide Case.' 'How could they even think that? He didn't want to die.' She thought. She went over to his desk and looked at his calendar and saw something. On the 12th of May he had a football championship that scouts would be at. That wasn't for another 3 weeks. Why would he want to end his life when something huge was just about to happen that would start it? Liz had to show this to the others.
"What is it Liz?" Michael asked frustrated.
"This," Liz showed them what she found on the calendar.
"So?" Michael asked.
"So, why would Kyle kill himself when he had this right around the corner?"
"So it was an accident." Isabel concluded.
"No, it wasn't. Kyle was murdered." Liz said seriously.
"Liz," Max said calmly.
"No, Max. I know what I'm saying. And I will prove to evyone that he was murdered." Liz said leaving the room.
"Who would want Kyle dead?" Tess asked.
"I don't think anyone would," Kyle pitched in. 'Maybe Liz is just off her rocker.' Alex thought.
(A weak and a couple hundred crazy searches and ideas later.)
Liz was in Kyle's room, again, looking for something. She looked in his dresser drawers, but found nothing. Then she looked under his bed and pulled out a bunch of porn magazines, and a small book. It looked like a journal.
"I didn't know Kyle kept a journal." Liz opened it and read a page.
'The weirdest thing happened to me. I was with Tess, then all of a sudden I was alone and doing something on the computer. Then all of a sudden Tess was back. It was like she disappeared and then reappeared like that.'
Liz opened up another page.
'I just over heard Tess talking to herself. She was saying stuff like, "If I mind warp Liz into killing herself know one would suspect me.' I think I here her coming. Gotta go.' And that was all that was left.
(Meanwhile at the cave.)
"So we have 10 minutes until we have to leave." Max said so officially.
"Yeah about that Max, I can't go. I've finally found my home. The funny thing is, it's here with Maria..." He wanted to say and Liz, but he couldn't with Tess right there.
"Yeah, I can't go either. I can't leave mom and dad, and Alex. And I can't go to a foreign planet without Michael. It just doesn't seem right." Isabel said sadly.
"I understand, I'll miss you, so much." Max said pulling them both to him in a hug. As they both left they were met by Liz, Maria, and Alex.
"Guys, what are you doing here?" Isabel asked.
"It was Tess. Tess killed Kyle." Liz said and they all ran back inside.
"Liz, what are you doing here?" Max asked.
"It was Tess, she killed Kyle."
Max turned to Tess and asked, "Is that true?" He moved closer to her.
"I couldn't let him get in my way. He was going to ruin everything. I had to do it." Tess said in defense.
"Go, LEAVE. I never want to see you here again. GO!!!" Max screamed in her face.
Tess put her hand on the Granolith and she was transported into it. Everyone else ran out side of the cave and watched as the Granolith took off with their enemy inside.
AN: sorry it took so long to update. But here's a long chapter for everyone. And I hope chapter 9 will be up soon. I hope you like it so far and it's definitely not over.
