Just a girl, falling in love
We stood on the edge of the road hoping someone would give us a lift, but who would since no one actually came by. Now my watch flashed 4:00 am, I had to get help. "Michael, take care of Isabel, I'm going to get help" he nodded and I ran down the road. "Max, be careful please remember Liz" she shouldn't have said that. I did remember her and my heart felt like acid spilled all over it. It burned me to think about her anymore.
I got close to a gas station and grabbed the first phone I spotted. "Okay, home..." I thought to myself and dialed home but no one picked up, didn't surprise me. Okay, who else I thought about people who I could call but my fingers dialed Liz's number. "Hello?" her soft voice, full of tears she picked up and answered.
"Liz, it's Max, I need your help" her voice was suddenly very surprised and worried. "Of course Max, what's wrong" she asked ready to help, that's what I liked about her, always ready to do anything. "We're trapped at the place where we found you, 3 busted tires grab a car and come get us out please, I'm sorry to wake you up..." but she stopped me. "No, no, no, you didn't wake me up, I was uh...getting ready for bed, I'll be right there" the lie didn't fool me, she was crying over what happened, and I was asking her to help us, why, I had no idea.
Liz came by a few minutes later in her nightgown. "Oh my god Liz, you'll freeze" I grabbed her from the front and put her in my lap and wrapped my jacket around her. She smiled at me the first time in forever. "Thanks Max..." I noticed Michael and Isabel looking at us in the mirrors and smiling, they were glad Liz and me were close again, and so was I. I just wanted to feel her body close to me again, feel her strength, her courage, her bravery.
We arrived home in an hour or so, Liz had fallen asleep in my lap and I wanted this to last for eternity. I lifted her and carried her into my house, no time to take her home, it didn't matter. I put her into my bed and I laid on the couch in the living room. "Iz, you sleep by Liz, I'm gonna sleep downstairs" "Okay" Isabel agreed and we hugged goodnight and I went downstairs.
The night lasted forever, in the morning I was awoken by a sweet smell, eggs, sausages, and milk. Isabel had just come downstairs herself so it wasn't her. Walking into the kitchen I noticed Liz was cooking breakfast. I snuck up behind her and put my arms around her waist. She laughed but pushed me away, things still weren't okay for us and I had to clear her up. "Liz thanks for the breakfast, can I talk to you alone" she nodded a little surprised.
(Liz's P.O.V)
We walked into the bedroom and he put his hands over my shoulders, his warmth with me once again. "Liz, are we okay, because last night it seemed like we were" I pulled away. "Max, you're engaged, you didn't tell me, you let me fall in love with you and then Michael had to tell me this, why didn't you"? He had no idea what he had created in my heart, how much he hurt me. "Liz, I love you, I don't love that girl, I believe you're the only one for me and always will be I want to be with you, no one is stopping us Liz please" he was practically begging me.
"Max, it's not that easy" I didn't know what else to say to him, I didn't want to end up crying like last time, but even with all my might I couldn't avoid it. "Max you have no idea do you?" He shook his head as he wiped the tears from my face. "No Liz, please let me know, clue me in" I didn't know whether to tell him or not, but I had to just so he would no longer think I didn't care.
"Max, you're the only thing in my mind 24/7 I love you with every bone in my body Max, I want you, I need you desperately, but I can't always have what I want now can I?" He didn't answer, instead leaned over and kissed me. My heart, my mind, my body all surrendered to his touch. "I need you Max, why am I always falling in love when it's the last thing I need, please hold me" we stood like that for over 20 minutes I thought until Isabel came in. "Hey are you two okay?" I nodded, not pulling away. She closed the door and left, Isabel had become my best friend and not because we were on the same squad, because my boyfriend is an alien, the weird things that happen.
We had decided to stay together after all. The love we had for each other was unbeatable and we would always be together I knew it, that is, unless, they find a way to get home. I didn't want to think about that, not like it would be soon. "Max, I love you" he smiled and said the same. And almost as silent as an echo we drifted to sleep together, under the stars, like that one special night.
