Author's Note: Sorry this is short, I just hate using Wordpad and it's New Years Eve. I wanted to have something for anyone who's reading this so they know that I am finishing this. Thanks and Happy New Years!
A pair of cold brown eyes stared back at me and that was all I needed to know that there was a lot more going on than any of us knew.
"Wait what is going on here? Michael and Liz. Tess and Max. None of this is making sense", an angry Isabelle says looking at her brothers like they have to have the answers that she needs to have this all make sense for her.
My mind was reeling. Liz knew about Max and Tess, she knew and she what? Wanted to get her revenge? Was Michael innocent? I tried to say all of the things that were going through my mind but only "Why" could be said.
Those same brown eyes, the ones that I had been looking in for all of my life, the ones that I felt like I was truly only seeing for the first time turned towards me once again.
"It was supposed to be me"
That was all that was said with a shrug as if lives hadn't been ruined. As if hearts hadn't been broken. I could feel the rage building up in me and I lunged for her. It was Kyle that pulled me back with a look of total shock on his face. I continued to fight him but after being the captain of every team at West Roswell High he was pretty strong.
" You bitch! How could you? Why would you? I'm your bestfriend and you...you..." Man Kyle's strong plus I could feel myself tiring both physically and emotionally. "Why?"
By now Liz has distanced herself from everyone in the room and was standing tall and with a sense of self-assurance that the Liz I know didn't have. Yes she knew what she had to offer but she didn't flaunt it. This was different, this Liz stood like she was a queen.
"I was looking for Max and I went by Michael's knowing that as his second-in-command, he would have to knwo where his king was. I knocked and no one answered so since I knew where your spare was hidden I let myself in. I walked into his room and saw my boyfriend, who was in the middle of unhooking the gerbil's bra."
Liz took a breath and the Liz that I remembered surfaced a bit as a hurt and confusion flashed across her face. But as quick as it appeared it disappeared beneath a veneer of indifference and she continued, "I left and went back to the Crashdown and I cried for a bit, but I realized that tears are for the weak and Elizabeth Parker is not weak. I am a Queen. It was really a matter of figuring out how to seek my vengence. Then I saw Michael and i figured that since he'd always wanted to be like Max then he would get his wish and have Max could never have...my virginty".
The nerve, the gall, the fucking audacity of that, that snake. I lunged for her and this time Kyle wasn't there to stop me. I jumped onto of Perfect Liz Parker and punched, kicked and yelled all of my pain, anger and outrage to the source of it all. Everything that I had gone through was because of her. My so-called bestfriend.
Strong arms grabbed me and I whirled around to stare into the eyes of my now somewhat innocent boyfriend.
In his eyes I could see him begging me for something...I wasn't sure what. Then he said, " You put alcohol in my drink", now facing Liz.
"Yes and you thought I was Maria, in fact you called me her many times. Except for the last time when you realized who I was and then you called me Liz."
With those words echoing in my head I felt myself break. I slapped Michael Guerin with everything I had left in me and ran to go anywhere. Anywhere but there.
