Perspective: Liz and Max

--

A week had passed since Alex's party, Liz still wasn't talking to him properly; he knew it wasn't intentional but he felt hurt. He wanted her to tell him how she was feeling. He could make it better. Somehow.

He trudged into school with Isabel, they were early, Max wanted to try and catch Liz before she went to class. Their footsteps echoed down the deserted halls.

"Max you won't find her" Isabel sounded impatient, but he didn't care, as long as there was the slightest chance.

"Isn't it obvious? She's avoiding you Max!"

He looked at her and shook his head, Isabel rolled her eyes.

"She's not avoiding me. She's just…She's been busy. Studying."

Max sighed, he knew Isabel was right. But why? Had he done something wrong? Or maybe he had done something to upset her? He couldn't bear the thought. Max's eyes widened. Had she met someone else?

"Alex!" Isabel had spotted him sitting on the wall outside and her face lit up, he looked up and motioned for her to join him "I'll see you later Max"

She trotted off in his direction with her long blonde hair bouncing behind her. Max leant against the wall and shut his eyes. He remembered the day he had healed Liz. When he saw her lying there he thought he was going to be sick, in that moment he didn't care if he was exposed; letting her die was not an option.

Flashes ran through Max's head. He remembered their first real date, how it had started pouring down with rain as they walked through the park. He smiled as he remembered Liz's face of pure joy and excitement. They had danced in the rain.

Or when he had serenaded her at her balcony, he wasn't much of a singer, but it made her smile. Oh, that smile. It made him feel warm inside just thinking about it. And when they had first made love after prom. He had never felt so close to Liz as he did in that moment, just touching her soft skin had sent sparks racing through his body. He remembered not being able to sleep that night; he had laid there watching her sleep as their body's remained entwined. She was so perfect.

"Max! Max! Hello earth to Max!"

Max opened his eyes; Michael was staring straight at him.

"What the hell are you doing man? Classes started five minutes ago."

Max looked around feeling slightly disorientated. Michael had started showing up to classes again after a little encouragement from Maria, but it was usually Max who told Michael he was going to be late if he didn't get a move on.

Reluctantly he shuffled off towards his lesson first lesson, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Liz walking towards the girls bathroom. She looked so small and lost. Max patted Michael on the shoulder.

"Tell Mr Wood I'm going to see the nurse."

"What Max you…"

"Please Michael, just do this"

Michael shrugged and headed off by himself. Max walked quickly towards the girls bathroom. What would he say to her? The red door loomed nearer and he pushed it open. He saw Liz standing at the wash basins looking into the mirror, she had obviously been crying.

"Liz?" a rush of concern swept through his body.

"Max, what are you doing here?" she turned around a looked at him. Her face was pale, as though she hadn't been sleeping for days. He walked towards her and she stepped backwards.

"Liz?" he felt so confused. "Please. Talk to me."

Liz looked at her feet and ran her hands through her chestnut hair.

"Max there is so much to say and I can't say it…I just can't. I need you to know that I love you and I am just trying to figure things out…alone. Okay?"

Max didn't understand but three words comforted him 'I love you'. She had meant it. Max knew that, all doubts that she had not remained faithful vanished from his mind. He felt guilty and ashamed.

"I'm here for you Liz. Please come back to me."

He turned around and walked from the room, as he did, he heard small heartbreaking sobs waft after him.
