AU- I am so glad you guys are enjoying the story. Thanks for all the feedback.
Summary-ya know
Disclaimer- own nothing
And on with the chapter.
………………………………
We both know that I shouldn't be here
This is wrong
And baby it's killing me, it's killing you
Both of us trying to be strong
I've got somewhere else to be
Promises to keep
Someone else who loves me
And trusts me fast asleep
Liz was sitting on her couch watching T.V when she heard a knock at the door. Liz was not surprised to see Max on the other side. It was not like him to run away from his problems but part of her wished he did this time. She was not ready to face him.
I've made up my mind
There is no turning back
She's been good to me
And she deserves better than that
When the door opened Max looked up from the spot on the porch he was staring at and found himself lost once again in her eyes. The eyes that once use to look at him with such love and admiration. As always the memories of them were quickly replaced by memories of her….his destiny. Her blue eyes and blonde hair and he was once again reminded of why he was there in the first place.
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
To look you in the eye
And tell you I don't love you
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion when you start to cry
Max- Liz..
Liz could only nod because she knew what was coming next.
I can't let you see what you mean to me
When my hands are tied and my heart's not free
We're not meant to be
Max- I love you.. I really do….and maybe if things were…..
Liz- different.
That one simple word made he think about a night years ago right after he had saved Liz and they had agreed not to be together because they were too different. The thought was quickly replaced by the memory of his son being born.
It's the hardest thing I'll ever had to do
To turn around and walk away
Pretending I don't love you
I know that we'll meet again
Fate has a place and time
So you can get on with your life
I've got to be cruel to be kind
Max- We can't……be…..together….no matter how much we want too…It
Liz- It would hurt the people we love.
Liz was once again reminding him of old times when they use to be able to sense each others presence and thoughts.
Like Dr. Zhivago
All my love I'll be sending
And you will never know cuz
There can be no happy ending
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
To look you in the eye
And tell you I don't love you
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion when you start to cry
Max just nodded he could nothing else. His heart was screaming for him to stay with Liz and he might have listened if it weren't for the picture of Liz in her wedding dress.
Max- Good bye Liz
Although to most people it would seem like a normal goodbye to them it was different. Unlike the ones they use say after a date or meeting with the group….This time is was for good.
Liz- Good bye.
Maybe another time, another day
As much as I want to, I can't stay
Max turned around and opened the door. Halfway through the door he heard something he had been wanting to hear for years.
Liz- I never stopped loving you
Again the option of staying seemed like the right one but memories and thoughts of Zan and Tess filled his mind.
(Ooh)
I've made up my mind
There is no turning back
She's been good to me
And she deserves better than that
Once again Max was giving up his happiness for his family but that was his job….He was a king.
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
To look you in the eye
And tell you I don't love you
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion when you start to cry
After Max left Liz finally let the tears fall.. Falling one by one down her beautiful face. Liz knew she had to let him go for Nate's sake but part of her was still holding on.
Max was almost out of her yard and would have made it out if it weren't for the sound of her sobs filling the night air. All it took was the sound of her calling his name and he was turning around and walking back to her porch….to the women he loved….his soul mate.
Liz was just about to close the door when she saw Max walking back to her. Hesitating Liz took a step toward Max.
As if sensing Liz's doubt Max opened his arms. It only took a few seconds and Liz was in his arms hugging him. The only thing that existed was each other.
Not being able to stand another second Liz pressed her lips against Max's. For the first time in a long time they both felt like they were home and they were.
Max finally broke and the kiss and looked into Liz's eyes like so many times before and knew that no matter life threw their way it would be ok as long as he had her.
