Chapter 7
"What!" Maria and Liz said at the same time. They peaked around Isabel's tall form.
"Jesse!" Maria's mouth dropped at the sight of Isabel's ex-husband standing in the doorway. She knew that Isabel thought it would have been better if they got a divorce, but Maria knew she had always regretted it. Jesse smiled at her.
"Hi Maria, how you been?" he looked at Liz, and smiled. "Guess I don't need to ask you how your doing." He said with a quiet laughter in his voice. Liz did a sarcastic look then crossed her arms.
"Yeah doing just peachy." She said putting her hands on her stomach, but then she got the same sharp pain that she had gotten only a few minutes earlier. She doubled over and walked the 3 feet to the bed and sat down, and started taking deep breaths.
Maria forgetting almost completely about Jesse instantly walked over to Liz. "Liz are you sure you're alright?" Liz nodded her head, but she started to turn white, and Maria shook her head, and put her hands in the air. "That is it. I am calling Max." She pulled out her cell-phone, and dialed Michael's number." Max didn't usually have his on. He was afraid they would be able to trace it somehow.
Liz put her hand on top of Maria's before she hit the talk button. "No, I'm ok, don't call Max. He needs some time away, please." She looked up at her with pleading eyes.
Maria raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Isabel for support, but she was standing there hugging Jesse, and she didn't want to interrupt.
"What are you doing here?" Isabel asked. She could feel the tears building up, but she couldn't cry. Not until she found out what he was doing here.
"I came to see you. I missed you so much. "He kissed her on the forehead, and a tear escaped, and she quickly wiper it away.
"How did you find us?" she didn't want to sound unhappy, but they were in hiding. Even her parents didn't know where they were. Jesse looked at the ground.
"Well, the truth is. I have been kind of following you guys for awhile. I never went to Boston. I couldn't even bare the thought of not being with you, and I figured once a little time went by I could come back." He ran his hand through her shoulder length hair. "Back to you." He said, so that only they could hear.
Isabel smiled, as the tears escaped. She had almost forgotten how much she loved being held. "I'm glad." Was all she could say, before kissing him for real.
Maria coughed, hoping that it would remind Isabel and Jesse that they weren't the only ones in the room. "Isabel." She said, trying to get her attention. "Isabel!" she said again but she didn't seem to hear. "Isabel!" she said stomping her foot.
"What?" she said harshly, but when she saw Liz double over on the bed taking deep breaths, she lost the gruffness in her voice, and went over to Liz's other side. "Liz, what's wrong?" she asked pushing her hair out of her face.
"OK, I lied, I want Max." Liz said through a strained voice. Isabel glanced at Maria, but she was already dialing the number.
"Michael, is your phone ringing?" Kyle asked, trying to block him from making a shot.
"Oh no, I'm not that dumb. I'm not going to fall for the whole your shoes untied trick." Michael said. He never stopped dribbling. He was on a roll, and nothing was going to distract him.
"No, Michael, Kyle is right. Your phone is ringing." Max said, leaving his post under the goal to the bench where Michael's phone was vibrating, with a soft ringing noise. Michael put the ball down, and jogged over to it.
"Hey." He said casually. He knew it was Maria, so there was no need for manners.
"Michael, get Max." Maria said in a frantic voice. Without even asking Michael handed the phone to Max.
"Max get down here quick, Liz needs you." He heard Maria's hurried voice. He quickly closed the phone.
"Come on, Liz is in trouble." Michael and Kyle looked at each other, and the three of them took off towards the hotel.
Liz groaned, but it wasn't her stomach. It was her head. All these images were filling it. It was like a power overload, but she didn't know what from. She was laid curled on the bed, trying to focus the vision, but it would go to one then the other. Showing blurry images in each one. She grabbed her head trying to make sense of it all.
"What is the matter with her?" Jesse asked, standing back while Isabel rushed in the bathroom to get a cold towel. Liz was burning up, and she didn't know why, but the way she was holding her head, she didn't think it was from the baby.
Maria looked at the digital clock next to the wall. "Where is Max?" she demanded, even though she knew that Isabel didn't know.
Isabel looked scared, as she put the rag against Liz's forehead. "It has only been like 5 minutes, and weren't they going to that park we passed on the way here? They should be here anytime." Dear Lord, please let them be here soon. She put the rag in the bowl of water to get it rewet it, and put it back on Liz's forehead.
Tears were streaming down Liz's face. She was finally starting to make out images here and there, but they were of people getting killed, and she could feel their pain. Then she started seeing people she knew. Well the people that Nasado had killed. She heard their screams and their terror, and felt their pain. Then the vision shifted to Tess killing Alex and, of how she mind warped Kyle into putting his body in the car. Liz could feel her body starting to shake. Then it quickly shifted to Max being tortured in the white room. Then it shifted to her parents being shot, and she watched her mom and dad fall to the ground. Liz started screaming, and the lamp next to the bed burst into a million little pieces.
Maria tried shaking Liz, trying to get her out of the horrible place she was in, but nothing was working. She noticed that Isabel's eyes were wide and she was staring at something. She leaned over to look where her vision had gone too, and what she saw was not good.
