AU- I know I am updating a lot lately. All the reviews I have been getting are inspiring me.

Disclaimer- do not own

Summary- you know by now

And on with the story….

………………………………

I watched the walls around me crumble
But its not like I won't build them up again
So here's your last chance for redemption
So take it while it lasts 'cause it will end
And my tears are turning into time I've wasted trying to find a reason for goodbye

Michael sat in the hotel room in silence listening to the rain hit the roof and the thunder crackle every few minutes. His feelings for Maria were stronger than ever and that scared him more than any alien or skin ever could. Everything thing he did and every breath he took was for her. The fiber of his very being belonged to her. Although Michael was hurt and alone he would never regret loving her. He wouldn't change one fight, kiss, or touch they shared.

I can't live without you
Can't breathe without you
I'm dreaming about you
honestly tell me that its over
'cause if the world is spinning and I'm still living
It won't be right if we're not in it together
Tell me that it's over
And I'll be the first to go
Don't want to be the last to know

She knew she shouldn't be there but something brought her there….outside of his hotel room window watching him. She stood in the rain for a while letting her tears mingle with the raindrops. If only he knew how much she wanted to be with him. It would be so easy to walk in there and tell him about Andrew but that would mean putting him in harm's way and she could never do that to him. It was time to make her decision. If she told him he could get killed if she didn't he would be hurt emotionally. As if almost afraid she lifted her hand up and knocked on the door.

I wont be the one to chase you
But at the same time you're the heart that I call home
I'm always stuck with these emotions
And the more I try to feel the less I'm whole
My tears are turning into time
I've wasted trying to find a reason for goodbye

Brought out of his thoughts by the sound of a knock at the door reluctantly Michael got off the couch and walked over to the door. Ready to get rid of whoever was on the other side he opened the door. He was about to yell something like what do you want or go away but then he saw her. She looked so fragile and broken. Without question Michael let her in. They stood in silence for a few minutes.

Maria- Michael…..

It was the only thing Maria could say before she started crying. Michael couldn't think of anything else to do so he just walked up to her and put his arms around her….holding her. They stood there holding each other for a few moments before Maria pulled away.

Maria- Michael…….I…I love you.

I can't live without you
Can't breathe without you
I'm dreamin' bout you
honestly tell me that its over
'cause if the world is spinning and I'm still living
It won't be right if we're not in it together
Tell me that it's over
And I'll be the first to go
yeah and I'll be the first to go
Don't want to be the last to know
over over over

Michael had no idea how to respond to that so he did the only thing he knew how he kissed her. He put all his love he felt for her into to. Their tongues danced softly stroking each other. When air became an issue they pulled apart. Looking into her eyes he found something different. Instead of the dull green they use to be they once again sparkled with happiness and love….love for him.

Maria smiled to herself knowing she was ok but then thoughts of Andrew invaded her mind but she pushed them aside. She would tell Michael later right now she just wanted to be close to him.

Tell me that it's over
Tell me that it's over
over

dont tell me that its over
