Reality

Chapter 3. Lost

This one's quiet short the next one will be longer please R&R.

The rain pounded heavily on my bed room window. The wind whistling loudly in the cold night air. I couldn't see the stars as I leaned forward pushing against the cool glass.
Sunday night. Tomorrow was school. School. I hated it more than ever now. I never got the chance I needed to talk to Liz, she could always blend into the crowd of students rushing to their next class. It was so sad. How could she be ignoring me after everything that had happened, I though she was my friend. I was mistaken.
"MARIA!" My mom shouted.
"WHAT"
"THERE'S SOMEBODY AT THE DOOR"
I walked barefoot until I stood face to face to my visitor.
"Michael"
"Can I come in?" He looked so serious.
"Um sure..."

I slumped onto my bed as Michael stood awkwardly in my room.
"Did you want something? Or are you just here to see my room"
"Maria... You know what happened at the hospital, what Max... Did"
"How could I forget"
"We need your help. Isabel she's in trouble"
Michael explained everything to me. He was an alien as was Max and Isabel. At first I just laughed.
"You're gonna have to do better than that Guerin!" I laughed.
"I'm series Maria." His face told me everything he was scared.
Isabel had gone missing she and Liz had gone to pick up Max, he was in the desert (no idea why), When no one turned up he worried. All he got was Liz's answering machine. He mobile was switched off. I was more worried about Liz but Michael was so freaked.
I had to believe him there wasn't anything else I could do.
"Can you give me a ride to Maxwell?" He asked. Those big brow eyes, how could I refuse.
I closed my eyes again I say Michael in the desert his arms around me.
"Are you okay"
"I'm fine, Liz needs me... Lets go"

I found myself in my moms jetta driving down the highway towards the desert, beside me was Michael Guerin.
"Keep your eyes open... There could be a clue by the road"
He half sighed half laughed the air squeezing from behind his teeth to make a little hissing noise.
"How would you know detective Deluca"
"Shut up! At least I'm trying." I smiled despite the seriousness of the situation I found it just to weird to be true.
"You know I think I'm in a coma. That in the hospital Max didn't 'heal' me and I'm in a coma dying!" I giggled.
It was all a joke to me, but the reality of what I said hit me. I sobbed, my hands slid from the wheel as tears blurred my vision. The car jerked violently toward the side of the road and I stopped dead.
All the emotions I had been feeling all the doubt the pain everything just hit me. The tears feel freely down my face I was shaking so hard the whole car was moving.
I felt the tension Michael hadn't been in this sort of situation before he had no idea what to do.
I felt his hand on my shoulder.
"Shhhh... It's okay. Your fine everything is gonna be okay"
He pulled me into a gentle hug. I wrapped my arms around him, spilling all my emotions.
I closed my eyes as Michael lightly touched my face.
Suddenly Michael pulled back.
"WHAT IS THIS?" He screamed.
I was shocked what had I done.
"IS THIS A SET UP? WHAT? HUH? WHY DO YOU THINK OF ME KISSING YOU"
"Wha...?" I stuttered How could he know? I didn't understand I couldn't understand.
"How could you know that? What are you reading my mind? How could you know about my dream"
Michael lunged forward and grabbed my face, I was shocked quickly I pulled my head away from him smashing it painfully into the window. Michael's hand connected was my face. I was seeing stars my vision was blurred I quickly tried to blink away the haziness, finally Michael pulled away.
I sat shocked staring straight at him. My head spinning I didn't understand. My eyes questioning his actions.
"I'm sorry." He finally gasped.
"Why... What"
"I needed to know why you were... Why I was... In your dream. I didn't mean to hurt you"
I blinked nothing was registering with me, this was all too confusing. My life was so strange. I needed to get back to reality.
"It was when he healed you... In the hospital when Maxwell healed you"
I looked at him. That was true... How could he know. If Max healed me.. Why was he there. Why was Michael apart of this.
"Why were you there?" I questioned.
"I dunno."

We finally got to Max. He was tired and shaking. "Liz... Isabel they, they are in danger I have to find them"
"Max listen they're gonna be fine Isabel had her powers." Michael reassured him.
"NO! Michael I FELT it they're scared... Hurt. Michael they're dying!"
