"Liz? Liz, are you alright?" Someone said to her. She opened her eyes, and saw Max sitting over her. She gasped and sat up. It took her a second to realize where she was. Her room. Her bed. She wasn't in the Pod Chamber anymore. Michael was really gone.
"Max." She said, brushing her hair out of her face. She had tears streaking her cheeks. She looked out the window in front of her and saw that it was light out.
"Are you okay? You were crying in your sleep?" Max asked, putting a hand on her shoulder. Liz looked at him. He had circles under his eyes and he looked restless.
"Uhmm…I'm okay. Just a bad dream." Liz said, thought she knew it wasn't bad at all. Bittersweet, not bad.
"You sure?" Max asked, Liz just nodded. She ran a hand across her cheek to remove the tears.
"Okay. I'm gonna go check on Maria and Isabel. Okay?" Max said, as he started to stand. Liz tried her best to give him a smile.
"Yeah, fine." Liz said. Max nodded and left the room. Once he was gone, Liz let her head fall into her hands. She remembered everything from the dream; it would probably never leave her. She knew everything that was said was true. It wasn't her imagination; it was a real message from Michael. However, in midst of everything, with her friends around her and Max, who loved her more than the world. She felt extremely lonely without Michael there.
She knew she had to live on however, as she took in a deep breathe. She stood out of bed. She told herself that she would never let the memory of Michael fade from her memory. Never let the knowledge of his love fade from her life. Everything she did now, she did for him.
The End
