Author Notes: Michael redeems himself in this chapter; Kyle still has a long way to go Sorry.

Chapter 7

Tammy

"Are you coming in or what?" I demanded to Maria, Isabel and Tess who were all lounging about near the pool.

"Not." They replied and I rolled my eyes, we are at the water park, there were loads of rides and such, Liz is having a blast with Max chasing her, trying to get her back for pouring that bucket of water over his head. Serves him right, the guy needed to cool down a bit, I thought he was going to maul her when he saw her come out in her bikini.

"Oh come on!" I complained. "We need more girls to get payback on the guys." I told them.

"Hey!" I heard an offended shout and turned to see Alex and Jake standing behind me. "What have we done to you?" Alex demanded.

"You're here?" I asked and smirked as he sputters out a remark while Jake laughed.

"We haven't done anything to you either." Michael stated as he and Kyle stood to my side and I looked at them.

"Haven't you?" I demanded before looking up and smiled brightly when I saw the two guys that tried to hit on Liz and me. "Guys!" I greeted as I pulled myself out of the pool and hugged them. "Guys, I like you to meet my sister – Isabel and her boyfriend Alex, this is Jake, my boyfriend and these are Tess and Maria." I introduced, I heard some coughing and I turned to see Max and Liz standing behind me. "Oh, this is Max, mine and Isabel's brother and this is his fiancée Liz, I'm sure you remember her." I told them and they nodded.

I turned to look at the other two guys and scowled. "And these are Michael and Kyle, not worth mentioning really." I told them before turning to everyone else. "Gang, this is Chris,' I pointed to the redhead, 'and this is Jack, they are on holiday cause they just broke up with their girlfriends." I explained and bit back a snicker as Maria and Tess got up and walked over to them.

"Oh you poor guys, I know what you are going through." Tess told them as they walked over to the bar so that they could get some drinks and I turned back to Max and Liz with a huge grin on my face.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, my sister, the matchmaker." Max stated and I rolled my eyes.

"Don't knock it buddy, if it wasn't for me, you and Liz would still be dancing about." I told him before diving into the water, smirking at Max's splutter.

Liz

Poor Max, looks like he's not having a good time with Tammy teasing him all the time, still, gotta love a guy.

"We would so be together." I heard him muttered and I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "What?" he asked in defence. "We would." He told me and I nodded.

"Uh, huh." Not once believing him.

"Hey!" he exclaimed and I shrugged.

"You were scared as much I was." I told him as I moved over to the small waterfall as he followed me.

"No I wasn't." he rebuked and I turned around, walking backward.

"Really?" I asked. "So, what took you so long to ask me out?" I challenged and he muttered as he scratched the back of his head and I laughed. "I thought so." I told him and he growled as he hurried forward and pulled me into his arms, kissing me as hard as he could as we made our way into the waterfall.

I was grateful to see that there was no one else in the small area and gasped when Max pressed my back against the wall. He wrapped one hand in my hair, holding me close as one arm wrapped itself around my waist, holding me close to his body.

I jumped up, wrapping my legs around his waist as his hand, which was tangled in my hair, slid down and cupped my breast, playing with it as I bucked my hips into his.

"Jesus." Max rasped out as he pulled his lips away from mine and travelled down my neck, flicking his tongue over my sensitive spots.

"Oh Max." I gasped out as I slid on hand into his hair, holding him close when all of a sudden a male voice jumped in, breaking the moment.

"Excuse me." I heard an angry male voice and turned to see Michael standing there with his arms crossed and a furious look on his face.

I groaned as I dropped my head onto Max's chest. Will this ever end?

"What?" Max bit out, annoyed that he interrupted our time.

"I think you two have been in here too long." Michael stated and Max let me go before rounding on him.

"Yeah?" Max demanded. "Well, Liz and I are engaged remember, I think we're allowed to be alone together for as long as we want." Max snapped and Michael scoffed.

"Will you get over it Max?" he demanded.

"Get over what?" Max snapped back. "That you fancy my fiancée and tried to hit on her too many times or that you are completely destroying the one person who ever loved you? Maria!" Max snapped and Michael took a step back, I was a bit scared when I saw Max like this, I knew that this had been building up for a long time and felt guilty that he was going through this.

"Max…." Michael started and Max shook his head.

"No, I'm not finished!" Max snapped. "You say that you are in love with Liz, are you? Really?" Max asked before stepping away from me, bringing me into full view. "Can you really see yourself being with her for the rest of your life? See her being the mother to your children? Being the one that you wake up to every single morning for the rest of your life?" Max asked. "Cause I sure the hell do."

Michael just looked at me while I shifted nervously; I jumped slightly when Michael let out a small breath.

"No." he whispered and I felt tears of relief flood my eyes. "I see Maria." He admitted and Max nodded.

"See, you got mixed up what you were feeling for Maria with Liz." Max told him.

"God, I'm sorry." Michael choked out and shook his head. "When I saw Liz lying there, all I could think what if it was Maria, I guess pretending that I was in love with Liz made it easier than admit that I was in love with Maria." Michael explained and Max nodded as he walked back over to me and wrapped his arms around my body, holding me close.

Michael closed his eyes as he took a deep breath before looking at us once more. "Can you ever forgive me?" he asked and I looked at him, seeing the truth in his eyes and I nodded.

"Yeah, I can." I whispered and he nodded as he looked at Max.

Max watched him for a while with an unreadable expression on his face before coming to a decision.

"Yeah, after all I need my best man to be by my side at the wedding." He told Michael and Michael let out a laugh before coming forward and hugging us.

"What's going on here?" I heard a female voice demanded and we turned to see Tammy standing there with her arms crossed, I smiled, everything was going to be okay.

Max

"Just Michael coming to his senses." I told my baby sister and she looked at us, confused. "Michael realised that he is not in love with Liz, that he's in love with Maria." I told her and she let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank god." She muttered before narrowing her eyes at Michael. "Hope this mean you will be doing a lot of grovelling to Maria, and before you say anything, flowers are so not going to do the trick." She told him. "We're gonna have to do some major shopping, so count yourself lucky that you're rich buddy." Tammy told him as she dragged him from waterfall and I turned back to my wonderful fiancée, she smiled up at me before wrapping her arms around my neck and pulled me down to kiss her.

I smiled against her lips as I took them into mine, loving the feel of her pressed up against me.

"Max." she gasped out as she jumped up once more and wrapped her legs around my waist again as I groaned and bucked my hips into hers, I went to kiss her neck when a female voice stopped us, increasing my frustration.

"Come on, we need to get back to the motel before Mom sends out the national guards." Isabel called out and I groaned as I rested my forehead on Liz's.

"I swear the whole world is against us." I muttered and she laughed as she planted a kiss on my lips before unwinding her legs from my waist and she grabbed my hands as we made our way out of the waterfall toward the gang.

We made it back to the motel and we saw my parents sitting in the main area, having a drink and reading, mom looked up and smiled when she saw us.

"You all have a good time?" mom asked and we all nodded.

"It was fine mom, sorted out some stuff and we had the chance to relax for once." Tammy told her as we all made our way over to the stairs and made our way up the stairs. "Let get washed and changed then we'll go for dinner." Tammy informed us and well nodded in agreement.

Liz and I made it to our room.

"I'm bagging the shower first." She told me and I wriggled my eyebrow.

"Don't want to finish off what we started off earlier, do you?" I asked and she laughed.

"Later, otherwise we'll never make it to dinner." She told me before kissing me on the cheek and headed into the bathroom.

I sighed as I made my way over to our bed, I jumped on it and laid down, resting my head when all of a sudden a scream came from the bathroom, I jumped up just as the door burst opened, revealing Kyle standing in the door way, I shook my head as realisation came over me, He were standing by the door.

Alex, Michael, Jake and the girls came rushing through as I made my way into the bathroom just as Liz ran into me, tears flooding down her cheeks, I looked up and swallowed back the fear the suddenly appeared in my throat.

There was a skinned cat hanging from its tail from the curtain rail as blood dripped on the floor and there was writing on the wall.

'Die Whore' was written in blood.

Unknown

Oh this is better than ever, the look on her face when she saw that little cat hanging from it's tail is just priceless and my work is not even finished, I swear, once I've finished, she will be begging for mercy and I'm going to be the angel of death when the times comes.

Can't wait!
