Disclaimer- own nothing.

Previously on "Where is my Home"

Maria's house

Maria opened her front door and ran up the stairs to her bedroom not once stopping to greet her mom. In her room Maria cried….cried for Liz who was probably talking to Max, cried for Isabel who didn't want to leave but had because she was the princess, for Alex who would miss Isabel, and for Michael because he couldn't and wouldn't cry for himself.

Michael's apartment

I don't need your strength anymore
cause you've made me strong
You may not see the woman in me
That you dreamed of
Holding me in your arms

Honestly Michael did not know what to do. If he stayed he would be giving up the only chance he had to go home. But if he left he would never see Maria again.

All the days that you gave
All the moments you've saved me,
Praying for my life
Sacrificed, just to make me who I am on my own
You don't have to let go

It amazed him how such a simple human girl could conflict such feelings on him. Sometimes she would make him so mad and other times he couldn't stop smiling. He couldn't picture himself without her. She was his reason for living.

You don't say it
But it's in your eyes
All the fears of good-bye
But I can promise
You'll always have a place, and a way to my heart

Although he would never admit it, he was afraid, afraid of a future without Maria, afraid of leaving the only place he knew. He was afraid of never being able to touch or kiss Maria again.

All the days that you gave
All the moments you've saved me,
Praying for my life
Sacrificed, just to make me who I am on my own
You don't have to let go

Without Maria he couldn't function. She was his strength when he was weak. She was there, no questions asked. She would put her own problems aside to comfort him. Maria was what kept him living, what kept him from giving up.

I can live
Cause you lived for me
And I can love
Because you loved me.

There was no doubt about it Maria was his everything, his reason for living.

All the days that you gave
All the moments you've saved me,
Praying for my life
Sacrificed, just to make me who I am on my own
You don't have to let go

(Ooh ooh ooh)
You don't have to let go

AU- The song used in this chapter was "You don't Have to Let Go" by Jessica Simpson.
