Chapter 7: Tell Me No More Lies
Michael walked into the Crashdown and went over to Maria. "I need to talk to you," Michael demanded. "Can't it wait this place is a little busy." Maria asked. "No, it can't." Maria just looked at Michael and then they both went in the back room. "So what did you have to talk to me about?" "I know I haven't been the most honest person but I need to be honest with you right now. I lied to you this morning. That night I was out with Isabel things got complicated..." "What do you mean things got complicated?" Maria asked wanting to know more. "After we talked things got deeper, intense." "When you say things got deeper and intense you're not trying to say what I think you're trying to say are you?" Michael looked at Maria with a plain look on his face. "Oh god, oh god you didn't. You slept with Isabel? Michael how could you and why?" "It just felt right." Oh it felt right. What was so right about it?" "I don't know. Maria, what Isabel and I have is something special that can't be put into words." "And what you and I had wasn't special?" "It was but I just feel... I don't know." "You don't know how you feel?" "That's just it, I know how I feel but I can't explain it. It's something I've never felt before. I just feel like now's the time that I'm meant to be with Isabel and if not then I'm going to regret it later on." "Let me ask you something, do you love her?" "Yes." "And let me guess, you've always loved her right?" Michael said nothing. "Well then, there's the door so go." Maria said not wanting to look at Michael. "Goodbye Maria."
So that was the end of Michael and Maria's relationship and hopefully the beginning of something new. Just like Isabel, Michael was glad to have left Maria. He knew Isabel was meant for him, he always knew, even though he had tried so hard to deny it but now he wanted to stop denying and start living. She had been his princess long ago and from what he remembered he and Isabel shared a bond that was greater than no other, one that could never been broken no matter who tried to come between them.
