Chapter two: gray eyes that make her wonder
It was exactly 8:30, morning time in the small town of Roswell and a cheery Maria Deluca waltzed through the back door of the crashdown cafe. She and Liz were to start the morning shift and she couldn't wait to lay some exciting news on her. She danced a funny little dance all the way to her locker while humming a familiar tune. Before hanging up her coat she pulled out two tickets from her right pocket and placed them into the alien themed apron tied around her waist. She turned around expecting Liz to be there, but she wasn't. The place didn't open until nine but she knew Liz was always up early ready to start a day's work. She checked around the front and behind the counter.
"Liz?" Where's this girl? she thought. She looked around "Liz?"
She became concerned knowing this wasn't like Liz, knowing anything can happen these days.
Especially in their case. These days the whole gang worried about eachother more after everything they've been through.
"She's probably upstairs or something," Maria told herself after realizing she was overreacting and it was unnecessary to worry way too quickly. " I worry way too much." she thought.
With that she headed towards Liz's room upstairs and was relieved to see her best friend snoozing away. She strolled to the side of the bed and began waking Liz.
"Liz, honey, you have to wake up, time to start our shift." She shook her friend lightly causing her to stir and mumble.
"Maria...sleeping..still."
"Sorry babe, but we have people to feed in 25 minutes and you need to get up and oh yeah, II have the best news you'll hear in the longest."
Liz buried her head deeper under her covers and mumbled something Maria couldn't make out, leading Maria to frown. Standing tall she whipped those covers off of her sleepy head friend. A groaning Liz curled up into a ball and turned her back towards Maria.
Listen up Chica, unless you want icy cold water splashed in your face I suggest you get up and listen to what I've been dying to tell you.
She huffed, "what do ya say?" Her jaw dropped when she received no reply."Ok thats it, I'm getting the bucket." At those words Liz shot up. "Ok ok ok I'm up Maria."
"Thought that might work."
Liz rolled her eyes and yawned. "What is it, whats the good news?"
Maria smiled and coolly answered, "well it just so happens, your best friend, me, who has been working these delicate hands to the bone feeding those slobbish customers, not to mention cleaning up after them as well, has been working over time and has just so managed to scrape up enough money to purchase two tickets to Evan Essence's upcoming concert! Oh yeah, I'm the best! She reached inside her pocket and took out the tickets waving them in Liz's face.
Witnessing the look of proudness on her best friends face Liz leapt from her bed and hugged Maria, hoping to full her with her supposed excitement. "Maria thats great, when is it!?"
Maria looked at Liz. "She caught me," Liz thought.
"Oh no Liz, you're not fooling me with that one, I know you and you've been mopey dopey ever since that future max thing and Alex. Now I know how hard it is, believe me, we've been through alot, but its time to start living, having fun, we can't keep thinking about the past. Its time to live Liz, start having fun, and thats whats going to happen at this concert."
Maria its just that... I'm...I''m- She decided to shut it, not wanting to throw anymore of her dumb problems on her friend's lap.
There was a moment of silence that Maria broke. She stood up, "I'm just worried about you Liz, everyone is. Especially Max."
At those last to words Liz looked up. "I know he is." She turned away looking outside her window to where she hid her journal, thinking of the feelings she poured all over it.
"We better get down there. I'll start opening up and let you get ready." "Michael's probably waiting."
""I'll be down in five minutes" she said.
As soon as Maria shut the door Liz immediately felt guilty. "What's wrong with me? Maria went out of her way for great tickets and I still feel so... blah." Liz dragged herself to her drawer feeling stupid for feeling sorry for herself and pulled out her uniform to change.
She looked at herself in her mirror, picked up a brush and began combing her hair pulling the long dark brown strands back into a ponytail. She stood there just staring at herself. She studied her face. Something about it was different. Realization dawned on her. It was her eyes.
They bothered her. They look so gray she thought. So... empty.At the sight they were than filled with the liquid salty substance that slowly ran down her cheeks.. As the mirror with gray crying eyes looked back at her Liz began to wonder why couldn't she move on.
