A/N: This story is meant to feature all couples but i'm a candy fan, so if it centres on m/m too much, i'm sorry but it can't be helped.
Chapter 2.
Maria and Kyle were walking down the street together, it was evening time, around 8.30, and Roswell was being enveloped in darkness.
"I cannot believe our parents are getting married, my mom is way too old for all this."
"Yeah it's weird. Dad's getting really giddy lately too, but I've always wanted a sister."
"Yeah so have I, haha."
"Hey, cheeky. So, I saw Michael today."
"Yeah well, that's your business....."
"C'mon Maria, it can't be that bad. He's a good guy."
Maria snorted.
"Weren't Max and Liz supposed to meet us here?"
Max and Liz had eloped about 2 months beforehand and had come home recently.
"Don't try to change the subject Maria."
"Well, you stop trying to defend Michael then!!"
"Fine"
He paused, thinking of what to say next.
"I'm just saying he deserves a second chance."
Maria threw up her arms in exasperation.
"KYLE!! Will you stop it? And don't talk about second chances 'cause Michael's on like his eleventh."
"Huh."
"Just 'cause he's one of your guy buddies..." Maria shuddered, "Whoa, did you feel that?"
"What?"
"That chill."
Maria's head turned and Kyle stepped in front of her. BANG. Kyle's body gave a sudden jerk and he fell on top of Maria, she put her arms out to stop him, and caught his arm as he fell to the ground.
"Kyle," she said shaking him, "KYLE, KYLE!!! Can you hear me?? Kyle!!!"
That's when she noticed the blood. It was spouting from where the bullet entered his head and her stomach gave a turn. She looked down at her clothes and found that she was covered in his blood.
"Oh my god." She whispered.
Just then, Liz and Max rounded the corner. When they saw her on the ground they ran towards her.
"MARIA!!!"
"What happened?"
"We were....walking...and gun....bullet, oh god....it was aimed at me Liz, it was aimed at me, Kyle........oh god, oh god." sobs racked through her body.
"Maria, run, go somewhere, anywhere just get out of here, you're in danger."
"Max......"
"GO!!"
Maria ran as fast as she could through the deserted streets, her feet brought her through familiar territory and right to a door. She banged on the door, without thinking, her mind was in turmoil. The sound of the gunshot was ringing in her ears. She could hear her heartbeat thudding inside her head. She kept banging on the door until she heard movement inside.
"Alright, ALRIGHT!! I'm coming!!!......."
The door opened and Michael stood before her. His face showed his anger and he didn't notice that something was wrong.
"MARIA!!" his anger changed to concern when he saw the blood on her clothes.
"Jesus, what happened? Are you hurt?"
He took her into his arms and brought her inside.
"It's not mine," her whisper was inaudible
"What?"
"It's not my blood, its Kyle's, he's dead."
A/N: Yeah, short chapter. Sorry to all Kyle fans but i did try to keep it short to spare you the torture.
