Aftermath
Hey guys I just wanna say sorry for taking so long to update and for it to be so short! I just have so many stories going on all at once but I'm gonna try and get some more chapters up soon. Thank you all for your reviews and I'm glad you're all enjoying the story! Any ideas or suggestions I would be happy to hear them! TTYL!
"Maria, did you tell them anything?" Isabel asked soothingly.
"No." I whispered.
I was so tired. We were in Jim Valenti's house. I was in pretty bad shape my face was bruised and bleeding my stomach and every other part of my body was in so much pain. I coughed up blood every so often tears streaming down my face.
"I… Why? Why me?" I sobbed.
Ever since the shooting in the Crashdown my life had got so difficult I was in so much pain. I just wanted a normal teenage life. Instead there was just pain and aliens and everything I didn't want.
Liz took my hand tears rolling down her own check.
"Ria I'm so sorry, I'm sorry for getting you involved"
"No… I'm sorry." I said closing my eyes trying to block out the pain.
"Maria we need to get you to a doctor..." Valenti said seriously.
I knew from the pain in my body that this was serious. I kept flashing back to that room.
Max sat drained near me. He has gone through the exact same but was in better shape.
"I can heal her." He stated his voice showing just how tired he was.
"No, Max you're too weak you could hurt yourself." I cried.
His eyes were full of pain. He felt responsible for my situation. I didn't blame him I didn't blame anyone but myself.
I gave him a weak smile.
"No. Maria I'll heal you."
He walked steadily towards me. Putting his hands over my face and forming a connection.
Images flooded in front of my eyes. Max as a child. Max healing Liz. Then I saw something very different. Max in a cell the FBI agent laughing. "Go on Max tell me everything"
Max grinned something powerful, evil behind it.
"You are going to die Holtz. A very slow painful death and the last thing you are going to see is me as the temprature of your organs slowly rises burning you from the inside out." Max said emphasising every single word making them 10 times more threatening.
I was scared. Max Evans one of the nicest guys in Roswell and I was scared of him.
Quickly he pulled back panting a look of immense anguish on his face.
"Oh god!" He cried turning away from me.
"I saw it. I saw everything that he did to you!" I turned away. I was embarrassed I felt weak and vulnerable but most of all I felt confused.
I didn't understand the direction my life was taking. I didn't understand what I was feeling or if I wanted to remain feeling this was for the rest of my life. Maybe I had to leave. To get my life back together and start a new.
I smiled weakly not really smiling at all. In my mind I was Maria Deluca but in reality I wasn't really sure who I was any more.
