Again I am very sorry for chapter 11.

And on with the story……….

………………………………

Hotel room

Michael could not believe Maria would ask such a thing. The truth is he was wondering the same thing. But he had a right to ask it she didn't, she had a family, he didn't. It was as simple as that.

What did happen? He couldn't seem to answer the question. Nothing really happened. They were together one day and the next they weren't. Maybe Liz was right when she said she couldn't see us together.

Honestly he did not even remember what they fought about before they broke up. If they would have been older maybe it would have worked. He would never know. He couldn't live in the past or what might have been he had to deal with now. And now, well it was all screwed up.

Country

Car parked on side of the road

They almost kissed. He almost kissed Liz Parker actually Liz Stone. That did it Max could no longer hold in the tears. It finally hit him Liz was no longer his; she belonged to someone else, forever. She professed her love for another man in front of God. She swore to love another man to the day she died. It was all too much.

He should not have come to L.A. He should have never divorced Tess. It would have been easier but he would have regretted it in the end. The only thing that gave Max hope now was Liz's grandma's words "If it's not complicated they are not you soul mate" and this was defiantly complicated.

Maria's house

Liz- You what?

Maria- Let's not forget you almost kissed Max while I just thought about kissing Michael.

Liz- Maria you did the worst thing possible a married woman could do.

Maria- What?

Liz- You loved another man.

Maria- Liz you are making no sense.

Liz- ME MAKING NO SENSE! I AM NOT THE ONE WHO HAS KIDS WITH ANOTHER MAN WHO YOU HAPPEN TO LOVE. YOU ARE SO LUCKY.

Maria- YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I GO THROUGH EVERYDAY!

Liz- YOU HAVE THE PERFECT LIFE. HUSABAND WHO LOVES YOU AND TWO WONDERFUL KIDS!

Without warning Maria burst into tears. Instantly Liz pulled Maria towards and tried her best to comfort her.

Maria- I just…..don't……..know what…..to do

It was just all too much for Maria to handle by herself. Maybe she would reconsider telling Michael.

Liz felt guilty. It was not Maria's fault her marriage was failing.

Liz- I am so sorry Maria. I shouldn't have yelled at you.

Maria- No you shouldn't

Same old Maria. Liz just smiled to herself letting her mind drift to her teenage years.
