Chapter 5

Michael looked at her face and realized he may have scared her off more. Maria looked at him and wondered why she can't remember him at all. She then saw Michael hurry out of the room when she didn't say anything. Maria has been thinking about what Michael said and wanted out of the hospital being in the hospital for six weeks didn't cut it with her. She hadn't seen Michael since he told her they were engaged. She got to know Max, Isabel, and Tess. For some reason she took more to Tess than she realized. She had called Tess and asked her to come alone so she can have a talk she wanted to get these questions out of her head. When Tess got to the hospital she saw Maria sitting on her bed and looking out the window. Tess then lightly knocked on the door and saw Maria turn her head. What Tess didn't realize at the time was that Maria had been crying the whole time. Tess walked in the room and grabbed the chair and sat in front of Maria.

Tess: Maria what is wrong

Maria: I don't remember anything. How can I have graduated high school not remembering how we first met. I mean I have a fiancée what am I supposed to do.

Tess: take it one day at a time okay we will work it out

Maria: how is Michael I haven't seen him since he told me

Tess: he isn't doing that great he thinks he pushed you away. He really does love you and I know you don't remember him but you are in love with him to

Maria: I wish I could remember. Umm Listen they are discharging me today can I get a lift home please

Tess: ummm yea your mom

Maria: yes I know I live with you Kyle and the sheriff okay

Tess: okay let me get your discharge papers okay

After 20 minutes Tess and Maria left. They went home and Maria went to her room. Later that night she found herself walking all over town and ended up across town not knowing how to get home. She then started to get scared so she went to the first apartment door she could think of. When she knocked on the door Michael answered. He looked at her and saw she had been crying. Michael took her hand and led her inside. He went and dialled Valenti to let him know Maria somehow ended up on his door step

Michael: hey whats wrong babe

Maria: I am sorry I lost track of time and I ended up here. Michael I don't remember anything and I am scared. How am I supposed to go on with my life if I don't remember anything.

Michael: Maria you will find your way okay believe in that

Maria: were we happy Michael

Michael: yea a lot of memories in this apartment

Maria: you mean we

Michael started laughing and saw Marias face bluish

Michael: yep started when we were sixteen. Max and Liz disappeared one night we had a fight you came to apologize we kissed and everything went from here to the bedroom. We may have had our ups and down for the last few years but our love was always there. I will always love you even if that means to start all over again with you. I mean it

Maria: how did I get so lucky Michael I mean you were never the one to date anyone I mean how did we all become friends

Michael: now wouldn't be the best of time to tell you Maria, you may not like it and you might end up leaving I can't bear not to have you around

Maria; Michael trust me I will be okay

Michael: take my hands

Maria took his hands and ended up seeing everything from Liz being shot, them together, resucing Max, Courtney, Laurie, Vegas, Prom, Christmas, engagement, and then graduation with the accident

When Michael looked up Maria started crying she couldn't believe what she saw she got up and started pacing around the room Michael went to her and put his hands on her shoulders. Maria looked in his eyes and saw everything that she wanted to

Maria: Michael why didn't you show me before it would have helped out and explained so much

Michael: I couldn't have you needed to learn when you were ready how much do you remember

Maria: not much the accident isn't clear but wait I do remember that you Max, Isabel and Tess aren't from here I do know that but some reason Michael its coming back slowing. So if you want to start over we can or we can wait

Michael couldn't take it anymore he grabbed her and kissed her like he has been holding in for the last 7 and half months. Maria couldn't help herself but she let the kiss go one until she felt her back against the wall and she needed air

Maria: Michael we have to stop I need air

Miochael rested his head against hers and waited to see what she wanted to do. Luckly for him she led him to the bedroom and we was able to relase all of his tension with her. Maria woke the next morning finding herself wrapped in Michael's arms. When she looked at him he happened to be sleeping with a smile so she got out of his arms and put on his shirt walked into the kitchen and started coffee. What she didn't realize that Michael's front door opened and Max and Isabel were staring at her. Maria wasn't paying any attention neither was Michael when he came out in his boxers and went start for the kitchen. Michael wrapped his arms around her and started kissing her neck. Maria started to moan and when Michael lifted her onto the counter Isabel finally made their presence known

Isabel: please for the love of God stop

Michael and Maria jumped and looked startled

Maria: Isabel how long have you been there

Max: long enough to notice that neither one of you realized that there were people in the apartment.

Michael: let me put clothes on Maria what about you

Maria: yep same here Ill be back

Michael and Maria came back to the livingroom to find the rest of the group over and wating for them.

Tess: Maria I was worried about you last night when you didn't come home

Maria: ummm yea I got lost and found myself here Michael and I talked

Isabel: they did more than that

Alex: Isabel look your making them blush

Isabel: Alex if we didn't announce that we were here we would have seen a lot more than we wanted

Maria: thanks Isabel

Michael: whats up guys

Liz: we came to see how she was doing

Maria: I am fine I got some memories back last night

Kyle: like what

Maria: I know about the four of you if that's why you guys were being awarked around me you can stop Michael told me

Michael: I showed her what she missed. She got all different types of flashes

Maria: guys it will take time so please don't hover and don't rush things Michael didn't well last night was different but that was my doing so please if your going to hound him please don't okay.

The eight of them went to the mall and hung out they were being normal teens when they saw a face staring at them

Kyle: is that couple staring at us

Max: yea lets get out of here

Michael: I agree girls lets go

They all headed out when they noticed the couple following them so they decided to head different directions and meet at the cars

Michael and Maria headed one way, Max and Liz went a different direct, Kyle and Tess went another and Alex and Isabel kept going straight. When they got to the parking lot they noticed FBI agents on the parking garage so they decided to head different ways. The eight of them were spotted and were being chased. They eight of them made it out before they were caught. They had gone to the mine cave where they went when Max was taken. Kyle called his dad and told him to meet them there and to be on the lookout. After a few hours and not a word from Kyle's dad they started to get worried. Jim finally showed and relief went over the group of eight.

Jim: whats the plan

Max: I don't know what do we do

Isabel: Max we may have to get out of Roswell tonight

Maria: Isabel is right they be after the eight of us now

Tess: we should go home pack the essentials and get as much cash as you can and meet back here okay. I will take Maria and Kyle Michael you should take Liz and Alex and Max and Isabel head home together. Change looks if need be don't get caught and we meet back here okay

They all agreed and left Max and Isabel went home and got what they could in a duffel bag each. Since their parents were out of town for the weekend they left them a note. Michael went to the Crashdown with Liz helped her get her stuff and they went to Michaels apartment and got what he needed. He even made sure he grabbed Maria's engagement ring. They proceeded to Alex's house and got what he needed. They went back to the mine and waited for the rest. Kyle, Maria and Tess got what they needed and was stopped by the FBI agents talking to Jim. Tess then looked out the window and saw that they were surrounding the house. Maria looked at Tess then Kyle. They decided to sneak out one by one and head to the car. They made it out of there. When they made it to the car they saw a letter on the seat with a few thousand dollars in it

Kyle,

You will always be my son. Take care of Tess and when it is safe I will find you.

Tess,

The daughter I never had I will always be grateful that you came into our lives and have decided to love my son. I will always love you

Maria,

You my dear have been through a lot. Lean on people your memory will come back. I will talk to your mother and let her know that you are safe. Take care of Kyle and Tess and love Michael. You are the daughter I wanted as well as Tess. I love you all

Jim

The three of them left and headed for the mine when they got there they saw that the five of them were waiting on them.

Maria: sorry FBI at the house we had to sneak out so how are we doing this they will be looking for groups

Isabel: well Max and I have a couple grand

Liz: I have three

Alex: I have a thousand

Michael: I have five

Everyone looked at him

Michael: it was the down payment on the wedding venue Maria wanted

Kyle and Tess: we have about three

Maria: umm I have six mom left me a bunch

Max: I think that we need to split up into couples and find a place to stay low and we meet at one place in a few months

Maria: okay why don't we meet here (pointing on the map)…say in three months today at 5pm and if no one else shows we don't stay we leave deal

Everyone agreed and said goodbye as they watch each other head off into different directions they couldn't help but feel like they wouldn't see each other anymore.
