She wasn't smiling and she definately didn't want to be there.Work really wasn't a major factor in her life right now. With Alex gone, who was left? Liz? No she abandoned them when things got rough. When she found out about the whole destiny thing she left. In a way she couldn't forgive Liz for that. She bailed when they needed her most.
"Miss?"
Maria snapped out of her thoughts to see the couple staring at her.
"We're ready to order." The woman replied.
"Look at her, she's so out of it." Tess said to the group as she stared at Maria.
"Can you blame her." Max chimed in.
The group fell silent as Maria walked up to their table. "What can I get you?"she said routinely.
She couldn't even stand to look at them in the face.
"Maria..I'm so sorry..about what happened.."Max's voice trailed off from the words he was speaking.
Maria glanced at her wrist watch, and replied "Look at the time, I'm getting off shift,I'm sure Courtney would love to finish your order for me."
Maria walked away from them as if they had the plague.
She passed Courtney who just walked on to the floor her ticket book and pointed to them.
"I guess she doesn't want to deal with it." Tess said rudely.
Isabel got up from the table and walked out.
"She's not the only one.." Max said sadly.
"Come on Maria she'll be home today!" Kyle practically yelled after Maria.
Maria walked away avoiding everything he said.So what Liz was coming home?
Was she suppose to care? No.
Kyle followed after her as she headed for the double doors.
"Maria!"He yelled.
Maria whipped around to face this idiot who didn't know when to back off.
"What, what the hell do you want from me? Do you want me to be excited? Do you want me to cry and say how much I've missed her?"What?" She yelled.
"She can help you through this." He said trying to make her listen. "She's your best friend for crying out loud."
"Wrong. I lost my best friend. He's fucking gone.. and everything that ever made sense means nothing now." she said as she opened the double doors.
"And you think running away from all this is going to help?"he screamed back.
"I don't know, ask Liz, she's the one that ran away."
"What do you think your doing huh?Your a hypocrite." he said angrily.
And with that Maria let out a soft sigh and walked out of the restraunt.
"Give her time she's in pain. We all are." Tess said from the table.
Kyle glanced over at her and said,"What would you know about pain."
