| The REST of the story and MORE
" So! Thats not an excuse Parker!" Maria yelled at Liz.
Maria was Liz's best friend, besides Max, she was the one she could always talk
to about guys, and her heart being broken so many times by so many of them. If she were to talk to Max about this stuff he would probably pound someone. Max was like a big brother to her, he cared for her but not in the way she wanted him to.
" Maria just stop, I don't need this, and please not from you, you of all people should understand, i hate men, their all pethetic." Liz said as she quickened her pace towards the coffee shop, with her tinted glass's on and her labtop pack across her shoulders.
" So what does that mean, you going to be a lesbo!" Maria yelled as she began to fall behind.
Liz stopped, Maria had her and she knew she did. She grinned and turned around.
" What do you want me to do huh?" Liz asked.
Maria walked up to her and brushed a peice of hair from her face. She patted her on the cheek and said " Let me give you a few words of wisdom, ask Max." Hearing this I turned my head, ready to walk away, the idea was to far to imagine. " No you listen to me. He wont turn you down, he loves you, and you love him, now make me happy and do it while you can before britany."
Liz turned around to see Max in the book store reading the back of a book.
Something was wrong here though, it was to easy of a mission. Then looking to her left she saw britany, just as britany saw her. They both looked dtowards the book shop and started to quickly walk, taking glances at eachother to see where they were. It was a race. Then they both started to job, and then to a run. By time they both got t the book shop they rammed right into eachothers side, tring to both fit through the door, Liz fell to her side, and Britany got passed, and soon enough found her way to Max. She lost and she never felt so horrible in her life.
A moment later Britany and Max came out of the isle hand in hand. Max looked down at Liz as she was trying to get up. Liz finnaly got to her knees and looked up at him fixing her sunglasses on her nose.
" Liz what are you doing?" Max asked confused.
" Nothing, nothing at all." Liz said brushing of the pain on her side, as she gave one of her best smile.
" So hows the dating going found one for the dance yet?" he asked wanting to know.
" Um you know I had the chance but," Liz paused and looked at Britany then back at Max " it just passed me by.
" Oh thats just to bad I guess." Max said smiling obviously feeling pity for her. She didn't blame him. " Well Brit and I are going to the movies. So I'll see you around, Bye."
Walking out of the book store Liz felt saddness take her over. She walked over to MAria who obviously saw the whole thing and wrapped her arm around her waist as Maria put hers over her shoulders. Liz could only thank god at that moment that she had such a good friend.

Liz sat on her lawn chair which stretched out on her balcony, looking at Max's empty room.
She hated this feeling. Lonesome. She hated having to watch motionless images. He was so special to her now, she wanted to be in his arms, just know he wasn't leaving her. Then she saw him he was coming into hi room, swaying back and forth, his face sweaty, and a bottle of Alchol in his hand. he was drunk. Liz quickly stood up and watched him fall to the floor. She quickly grabbed a piece of wood they always used to use when they were kids to get to eachothers rooms. As she started to crawl over it she heard it creep, and it began to slip. She was afraid afraid for her life, if she'd fall she'd die. then as she got to the other side the board plunged to the ground. But there was furthest from her mind, she ran to Max. He started to get up still holding the bottle. Liz placed herself under her arm and helped him to the bed and took the bottle away.
" You know Lizzzz you are always tere for me, but Im compwete shit to you." Max said with the slurs. Then as liz nodded her head she felt his hand on her back . She had a tank top on that had no back to it and was held together by a simply strings in the back. She could feel his fingers pulling at the strings. " Your beautiful Liz. Did I ever tell you that?" Max said his voice drained with desire. Then his hands traveled to her straps and slowly pushed them down letting the top fall to the floor. Then he turned liz towards him.
" Now I want to show you how much I love you...." Max said.
Then slowy his hand fell to her waist pulling her towards him more. Liz had no idea what the hell was going on, his hands were doing something to her something she never intended t feel, something she didn't want to feel, then he started to walk backwards a little more as he planted his lips on her neck, Liz had to admit it felt good. Then soon enough his lips traveled to hers and they shared the deepest kiss ever created on earth. Then falling onto the bed the seconds that followed was like a hot seaty make out session, than he said what Liz dreaded.
" Oh God, I love you," Max said. Liz just smiled. " Britany."
" BRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he alarm clock woke Liz up with a soaken shirt and tangled hair.
Liz felt like complete shit as she pulled herself up from her bed. She really needed to
get a boyfriend, or she was going to die. Looking into her full Length mirror, she began to talk to herslef.
" Look at you your pitiful. What man would want this?" she asked herself while looking discusted by her reflection.
Then suddenly her bedroom door flew wide open, and there stood Alex and Brad,
with thier hands full of just about ever make up product ever made in the United State, and in Alex's hand he held about twenty different outfits. Seeing that they were getting preety tired, Liz walked over to them and started to help them with such HEAVY Luggage.
" What is all this for?" Liz asked in wonder. She had never seen such great yet very revealing outfits.
Then she looked towards the door way after hearing heavy footsteps, there was Maria, carrying a big suitcase.
Liz looked at Maria, seeing this and Maria smiled. Suddenly iz started to panic.
Thats the smile she had planted on her face when they crashed the Franks slumber party two years ago. Thats the smile that could create world distruction. That there was not the GOOD smile.
" Liz. " Alex started.
And Brad finished with " Were going on a raod trip."
The car needed gas again, and it was in the middle of the night, around three oclock
in the morning. Liz had never noticed how many lights there were at night ntil now. She had een gazing at them for about two hours now. As she sat in the front seat Max sat next to her driving. When she noticed that they wee stopping she again turned towards Max.
" Should I wake them up?" Liz asked. She sat up right and looked back at Alex and Isabel,
her cousin who she invited on the road trip for moral support. They were cuddling, and it was adorable. Liz smiled at them in awe, she alway's knew that Alex had a thing for Isabel, and she seemed to ramble on about him as they countinued to talk at night. Then to their right there was Michael and Maria who were spread apart at a great distance. They continued to fight, but Maria knew she liked him, and Michael well you never knew with Michael. Then there was Brad who was staring out the window, She felt bad for him sometimes. He was just sso different, no one seemed to apreciate it though. He looked at Liz and smiled, and when they came to a complete stop He jumped out of the van.
" Naw I think they need the rest." Max said answering Liz's question. It was strange though, that he hadn't brought Britany along. Liz was probably going to bring it up later.
Getting out of the car Max started to pump the gas into the van, he leaned against
the van and closed his eyes. Then when he opened his eyes again he saw Liz coming around from the other side. With he knitted colored hat and her medium sized white jacket. She seemed to be hesitant of coming over to him. Which rarley happened. So he patted the spot next to him for her to come over. She slowly walked over her hands behind her back, and took her place next to him. As he tried to put his arm around her she moved sideways not letting him. He awkwardly put his arm back to his side pretending he never did what he just did. Then she asked him a question that wasn't so easy to answer.
" Why didn't you bring Britany?" She asked.
Max looked down at his feet. How was he suposed to say this.
" Um, there is no more me and her." he said as he moved his foot around in the dirt.
" What!" Liz said surprised. " Im mean why, ou like loved her."
" Lets just say she's the one who wanted a good lay, and she got what she wanted." Max said sad obviously.
" Oh my God, you two had sex!" Liz said amazed, not in a good way.
" UH! No!" he siad." She got drunk and passed out on the floor."
" Oh thats good." Liz said as she pulled herself off of the van and walked to the gas station.
Then as Liz was inside getting coffee, Brad walked out of the bathroom and over to Max.
He looked at Max with discust. Not really terrible though. He hit Max up side the head and started to scold him.
" You have something real good in front of you Man! Stop being so damn blind!" was all he said and he
got back into the van.
As Liz came outside she held two cups of coffee. And suddenly this bright flash flew across MAx's eyes. He shook his head and looked back at Liz, she was glowing and walking in slow motion, like Britany always seemed to. She walked up to him and handed him acuop.
" We're going to need these." she said.
Max looked at her funny. " We?"
" Yeah WE have to stay up and drive."
" Thanks Liz."
" Hey what are friends for?"
As they finnaly came to the cabin, they all hopped out of the van.
Brad stayed inside the van cause the need to sleep took over him. As MAx took a look around, he noticed that the light inside the cabin was turned on. He then became suspicious, and pointed it out to everyone, but Alex brushed it of quickly.
" Oh dont worry, were not the only ones here." Alex reassured
But this didn't give anyone reassurance. They all looked at him with wide eyes, MAria looked
angry. And Liz was beyond confused just as everyone else was
" Alex! I thought we would be the only ones here?" Maria scolded under her breath as she walked towards him. She looked ready to kill.
" God, give it a break Maria, I brought Tess, and Joe." Alex said trying to make them understand.
Liz became very confused at this point and then said. " Who the hell is Joe?"
" I am." someone said.
Looking in the direction of the voice, Liz's eyes landed on the most Beautiful oy she thought
she had ever seen. His hair was dark and had blue highlights, his black jeans hung extremely loose on him, and his Black shirt, said LINKIN PARK across it. And around his neck hung a leather strap with what looked like an amulet encircled in fine gold wire. On his wrist was and leather black band, with a beautiful desighn on it, with a strange writing on it. As he got closer Liz could see his slim body that way covered in muscles. Not like Max's but they seemed just perfect. And his eyes were bright green. Like a cats eyes. But he looked good with them. And to top this all of he woar a BLACK LEATHER jacket.
" OH! Hi." Liz said plainly. " Im Liz."
" I know." he said as he shook her hand, his eyes traveled her entire body, head to toe. " It's not hard to tell." Then the gazes started. Gazes that could kill. There was an attraction and everyone saw it.
Especially Max. He looked at the ground and tried to think of something else but all that came to his mind was Liz, and the Dirt Bag in front of her.
Maria walked over to Liz and basically ripped her from Joe. She then pulled Liz over to the side behind the van where no one could see or hear them talking.
“ Liz are you sure about this, I mean what about Max?” Maria asked.
“ MAria I have no Idea what you are talking about.” Liz said trying to take another glance at Joe.
“ Never mind. I fucking give up!” Maria yelled then walked over to Brad and started to unpack the van.
MAria knew that Max and Liz were meant to be for a long time now. She did
everything to make that love come to the surface that she saw in both of their eyes. But Fate kept fucking things up. And now for once as she watched Liz and Joe she thought, mabye she was wrong all along Maybe the connection that she saw going on between Liz and Joe was MEANT to BE. But then taking a glance at MAx, she saw his eyes, and how he looked at Liz, and she smiled. Fate may screw things up. But Destiny is going to get the best of everyone.
TBC Feedback PLEASE!!
Later on that night Max sat on his bed and typed on his laptop
and typed his feelings, in this journal he had been keeping forever now. It may sound like a really girly thing to do but his writing expressed his feelings, and emotions and the things he felt changing all around him. Tonight he wrote:
It seems as the day goes on my heart is weighing down on me. And the things
that seemed normal, and boring, turn out to be amazing and Beautiful. Thing’s are changing so much in front of me, all around me, and I can feel the changes in my heart the most. Love is awakening, and Im afraid it has. I thought that I loved Britany, in any way possible, but turns out, I don’t my love belongs to someone else, who ‘s grace isn’t exactly perfect. For she has a way of tripping in the up most impossible circumstances.
But that isn’t the point. ! The way she laughs, and smiles, the way she makes my laugh, and how she can make the most miserable times fun. The way that she was always there for me. The way her long dark hair shines like silk in the sun even at night under the moon. The girl who has always been in my life, not even a girl, but a woman. I will get her I will make her mine, not JOES!
Max
Max closed the lap top and looked up to see Liz walking outside.
She was in her robe and her pajamas. She looked so calm when she sat down in the rocking chair, just staring at the starry night. She looked so calm, and beautiful. max took this as his chance and walked over to her and tapped her on the shoulder.
Liz jumped in surprise and looked up at Max and smiled. She scooched over and gave him room to sit. And they both stared at the stars. MAx couldn’t believe how incredibly close they were right then. And before he would just shrug it of as nothing, feeling as a brother to Liz, but now it felt like heaven. He could smell her hair, and her perfume and he loved it. Then seeing her hand resting on the chair he placed his handover hers. No words were needed.
Liz’s eyes widened when feeling his hand on hers, the warmth
and the comfort that cam from that simple touch. She could feel his love at full force. But she was afraid to feel this but at the same time she wanted to have him so bad. She quickly ripped her hand away and fell off of the rocking chair, and to the hard wooden planks of the porch. Max looked down at her in concern and confusion.
“ Im ok, just a little brain dead thats all.” she reassured him as she sat up and crossed her legs Indian style. Then they both looked at each other and laughed. They didn’t know why but they just did.
Then later on as Liz and Max walked into the Cabin, before
Liz reached the door Max grabbed her arm and gazed at it for a few minutes, and slowly lifted his gaze up to her face. He took a couple steps closer to her and cupped her cheek in his hand and leaned in to kiss her. But this scared Liz, and as she took a step backwards she tripped over the landing and fell inside of the door. She fell with a big BANG and a shriek.
Max looked at this let out a deep breath and rolled his eyes.
She really didn’t have any Grace what’s so ever. Where ever they went she tripped, fell, or caused an explosion. But it came with the package.
“ Well, it would be nice,” Liz started as she tried to get up. “ If some one might give me a hand.”
Max snapped back into reality and helped her up, but when bringing her back up her face was centimeters from his. Then Liz looked down at is lips, and just blew it. She kissed him. It wasn’t a REAL kiss though. It was a simple peck. And when Max went in for more she turned he head and pulled herself out of his arms and started up the stairs to her room, and on her way she, well you could probably guess this one, tripped.
Later on the next day the daylight cracked through the slightly opened window in Max’s room. The walls were colored with yellow(EWWW) and the dresser was old, and beautiful. You could see the mist. And the fog covered the ground. And on the large bed with a canopy over it, lay Max staring out the window at the sun. It looked so different from before but that was ok. He lay on the his hands beneath his neck and his up torso exposed. The something passed by the window.
Max jumped straight up in bed. What had passed the window gave him the Butterflies it just jumped out of no where, then disapeared into no where. It was weird, most normal people would be freaked out by something like that, but he felt a sudden comfort and warmth. Then as he got up he slipped on his covers which layed on the floor, creating the whole floor to vibrate and a loud noise to echo through out the house. And before he got up a person came rushing through the door. Max turned his head to see Tess at his side.
“ Are you ok?” she asked with concern. He had never noticed how blue her eyes were. Truthfully he didn’t notice her through out school. They had gone to school together since aout first grade. He never thought of her as a geek, a nerd, a freek, or the popular one, she was just Tess. And he couldn’t say he wasn’t attracted to her, cause by god he was attracted to her. But thats all it was, an attraction. Well, that’s what he has been trying to convince himself of all of these years.
“ Yeah. Peachy.” he said as he pushed himself to his feet. She stood up while bending over and tapped him on the shoulder.
“ Are you sure?” she asked again. Max just eyed her saying “ IM FINE.”
Tess smiled. She knew that he had something for her, and she knew he had something for Liz. But look at the difference, she was curvy and slim, and beautiful, when Liz was Skinny, curves were nothing to brag about if Tess were her. Then Tess saw Max starring lower than her neck line. Tess just smiled and looked away. She was working her charm and he was giving in.
“ Would you like to come to breakfast?” Tess asked innocently ( if that’s even possible. “ I cooked, I have to admit I’m pretty good.”
Max nodded his hand and walked behind her to the kitchen, and the whole way there he continued to stare at her butt.
About five minutes later Max and Tess sat at the table eating as everyone else was outside, playing like children. Michael and Brad started to chase Isabel and Maria around, with leaves in their hands throwing it at them. And on the picnic table Isabel and Alex talked as they both twitled their thumbs in nervousness. And then there was Liz and Joe. They seemed to be wrestling, and then at one point, Joe came from behind and grabbed Liz around the waist. But instead of picking her up they both fell backwards, landing in the large leaf pile. Then they both started laughing and then suddenly the laughing stopped, and they just stared at each other, and Joe dipped his head down capturing Liz’s lips with his. And they just lay there for a minute, as MAx leans back in total shock, a bit to far back, so far back that his chair tips over and he falls rolling out of the chair and into the pile of newspapers in the corner, causing all of the newpapers to fly. Tess stands up and just stares at him with wide eyes. He was just as clumsy as LIZ was.
The day went by fast for every one now everyone sat in their rooms,
pretending to sleep but really weren’t. Max sat on is bed again playing on his lap top, it was a drawing of Joe’s face with the shit beat out of it. And with a simple click a sharp knife came out of no where and sliced his cartoon body in half. Max let out a simple small laugh. He truly hate Joe at this point, he could have killed him, but he was blacked out at the time. He remembered waking up in his bed with Liz by his side, sitting in the chair, holding the cold washrag to his head. She seemed like an angel at the time, her hair glinted in the sun which seemed to be going down, and her skin seemed god like as it looked golden and bronze. She was always there, and at that moment, despite her lack of grace, she seemed like she had more grace and beauty than any other woman in the world.
As Max started to make even better perfections to his discusting cartoon, he heard the door creak open, after a loud crash outside his door. In wonder he went to the door and slowly opened it to find a somewhat broken Liz. She had a leaf in her hair from the plant that her had knocked over, and she had scratch marks on her arm from running into the cats that ran through the house from time to time. Max smiled and leaned down and scooped her up.
“ No Max I’m fine.” she protested. But Max didn’t listen he just carried her from the door way to his bed. She just gazed at him as some thing, something more than a friend. But only for a second, she did only for a second.
And for the rest of the night they talked and talked and talked.
Until the conversation went to a point went to point Liz didn’t want.
“ Liz what is so special about Joe?” Max asked. He had know, Had know what he had done wrong.
“ I don’t know he is different, a change from everything else.” Liz said. She was becoming uncomfortable.
“ What is it that he has, that I Don’t” MAx asked and this was hard for him.
Liz’s eyes started to water and she looked him straight in the eyes and told him the honest truth.
“ Nothing.” she said.
MAx couldn’t take it anymore,, that right there changed everything.
He dove in for the finish and grabbed Liz by the waist and KIssed her hard, stong, loving and most of all, fear, of getting hurt in the outrun. At first Liz kissed back just as much until the point she sat In his lap. Emotions w3ere breaking lose and they were going strong. Max had already sarted to unbutton her cotton top, exposing her whit lace bra. Max began to explore, something Liz didn’t want. She got up and started to button her top and walk out the door.
“ Liz where are you going?” he asked. H didn’t understand he thought everything was going great. Liz just looked at him and said the the worst things he thought she could ever say.
“ Max I love you, but I cant be IN love with YOU.” she said “ It’s not me.” she said with tears then she straightened her back and said with a stern face “ ITS YOU!” then she walked out the door and closed it gently behind her.
With those words Max’s anger grew towards Liz, and he grabbed his lap top and threw it, making it chatter into small tiny pieces. And on the radio the song ‘complicated’ came on ( I forgot who sang it but Im sure you do) . And MAx continued to throw things and hit things. But in the ened as he sat on the floor in a corner he couldn’t get himself to hate Liz. He still loved. her.
The next day they started to pack up again. They were heading to
California next, and Liz was dieing to go, she was to white, and she needed a tan really bad. She really didn’t care about the bathing suit though. She just wanted the tan. The clothes that Maria had brought for her were all revealing and just not Liz. Once Liz tried an out fit on she felt like a total slut. But as she walked out of the cabin with all of her bags in hand, she saw Max loading the van. This was going to be an awful trip for the both of them. There was so much tension in just one look.
As she walked over to him, eyes on the ground, she could feel him staring at her in hatred. She stopped beside him and handed him her bags to load, since he was loading everyone elses things in the van. But when he turned to her he looked at her bags then back at her, and walked away. Liz just stood there completely trashed, by this awful tension that was ripping the friendship they once had apart.
As they spent three hours in the van driving down a road,
of nothing, they seemed to be in the desert. Everyone was asleep, and Tess and Joe got a ride with them because, they had come on a bus, and wouldn’t be able to get back soon enough before the next week. Liz looked back behind her at Joe. He was beautiful, amazing and outstanding, but there was something missing, that she needed, that she wanted. And not even she knew. She had to admit what her and Max had the other night, was amazing, but she couldn’t do it. He hurt her so many times without knowing when he should have, and she thought he deserved a little pay back. And that’s what she was going to give him.
Max on the other hand sat in the front next to Michael who was driving just looking out the window, he was going to look any where that didn’t have Liz in site. He couldn’t take it, ho she rejected him. He wondered many times if he wasn’t good enough, if he was hideous. And by the way Tess constantly looked at him the way she did he knew that he couldn’t be Hideous. So he asked Tess out, just to Piss the hell out of Liz, cause he knew it would, even when they didn’t have these feelings she was tense when he was with girls, because she was always afraid she would be replaced.
“ So Liz.” Michael started, looking at her in the review Mirror, “ Why don’t you get some sleep Babe?”
Liz looked up. It was nice that Michael had softened up on her,
after all he had been mad at the world ever since he had his foster father, who constantly used to beat him, but now Mike lived on his own, and pressed charges against his father. Liz somewhat knew what it was like to be abused. Her ex-boyfriend Dwayne, who almost raped her. Max still didn’t know, but Michael did, she and him had one on one talk a while back. Michael had felt so bad for Liz, she had told him every detail, every painful memory, and after that he final started to respect her not just as a human being, but as a good friend. They could call each other up at night now and talk about the things they wouldn’t tell anyone else but each other.
“ I’m Fine.” She lied. But she really wasn’t those memories of that night haunted her, every night, especially when she closed her eyes, it was almost like she could feel him clawing at her again, and she could see every detail of his face. That’s another reason why she couldn’t let what almost happened between her and Max, because at that moment, she saw Dwayne’s face, and she could feel his hands on her again, just like when she was outside with Joe. She was afraid.
Michael looked at her in concern, after finding out about what happened to her, he constantly worried abut her, and he knew what was itching at her, he knew how she saw Dwayne’s face every night, how he haunted her, and it drove him crazy that he couldn’t do anything about it.
As they stopped for gas, Michael pumped the van, as Max jumped out and went in to pay for the gas and to get something to eat. Liz got out of the van quietly and stood by Michael. He looked at her with question in his eyes. Without asking she answered.
“ Something happened between Max and me the other night. And i
couldn’t stop picturing him, I felt him all around me Michael, even it was Max who was holding me, the only person I could feel was him. The things don’t happen to normal people,” Liz started to sob at this point. “ Im just me. Max doesn’t want me, I’m worthless.” Michael let go of the pump and gathered Liz in his arms to stop her from crying.
“ He loves you Liz. We both know that.” he told her.
At the counter Max gathers his choices and has the cashier ring it up.
Then taking a look outside he see’ s Liz and Michael in each others arms. Anger pumps through his veins as he starts to walk out side, with the cashier telling him to come back he walks up to Michael anger filling his being and rips Liz out of his arms and socks him right across the face. Michael whips around smashing right into the van. Waking everyone up. They all rushed out of the van except for Tess who stood at the door watching the whole seen unfold. Joe was one of Michaels best friends, so he was the one to Michaels side first. He looked at Michael seeing the bloody lip, and tried to straighten things out. He stood up and walked up to Max.
“ What the hell is going on here?” He asked trying to find out what was going on so he could help.
“ Your face!” Max said as he shoved Joe. Joes tripped over Michaels leg and fell against the gas pump. Max jumped on him and started beating him, with the picture of him and Liz in his head.
“ STOP IT!!!!” Liz screamed over and over. But she knew it wasn’t working so she went to Max and pulled him off of Joe and shoved him. “ What the hell is wrong with you!! You could have killed him! You bastard.” she scolded him and went to Joe.
Looking at Joe Max saw what he had done. Joe’s face looked as if he were deformed, blood was flowing all over. He couldn’t believe he ha just done what he had done, then looking at Michael he saw he just hit his best friend. He felt descusting and trashy, he almost felt like a murderer. Liz stood up and walked over to him again.
“ This is why it would never work out for us Max. You are always so angry!! You let your Jealousy get the best of you. You could have killed him. And you didn’t even notice did you?” she shook her head and then walked back over to Joe.
Max walked away and sat on the curb outside of the gas station by the telephone and kept his face in his hands. He felt so ugly so terrible, how could he ever regain their trust and friendship, if he was lucky, Liz’s love. But then he looked up and saw the answer. TESS.
TBC. Feedback.
Authors Notice.
This is a Max and Liz fic, Tess will not get in the way of the love that they have for each other, but I’m sorry I just love a lot of conflict. But believe me MAx and Liz will be together again, hopefully.
In three days the auditions for the school play were going to happen,
and Liz couldn’t wait. She had always wanted to see what it would be like to be in a theatrical play. She loved to sing, and she had to admit she was quite well at it. Not being conceded or anything, but everyone who seemed close to her could tell. She sang all the time. Everyone said that Liz had gifts, and many at that. She was great in science, she could actually become a scientist one day if she wanted. And even at that she could sing, act and Dance. she was a wonderful writer, a great talent. But only one thing, she really wanted was grace. She would trade all of this for the balance of a gymnast. But she knew she would never get what she wanted and she hated that.
At her side stood Alex, constantly waving and winking at every girl who past him. He was quite the hunk at the High School. Hell! He was the babe of the entire town, everyone loved him! But Liz couldn’t look at him as everyone else did, he was more like a brother than anything else to Liz. She loved him as if he were family. And only that. Brad was a completely different story. Brad and Liz were going out on and of through their freshman year. They were young yes, but they liked each other a LOT. Now it’s different, it’s just as she loved Alex, but a little further than that, because of the closeness of their relationship before. They both could never be more than friends though, it gross them out so much they’d shit themselves.
“ Liz.” Alex said getting Liz’s attention.
“ Hmm?” Liz replied, as she awaited his question keeping her eyes forward.
“ What happened between you and Max this past weekend?” he asked calmly thinking of what Liz said the day of the fight.
Liz went wide eyes and gripped at the straps of her back pack. “ I don’t really want to talk about this.”
“ Liz I just want to know what bothering you, I think I have the right,” before Alex could finish Liz cut him of.
“ You know what you don’t have a right! It’s my life! So.” Liz yelled, and stopped with anger and rage filling her body, for he was intruding on her private FEELINGS AND HE PRIVATE LIFE. “ So piss off.” she said softly.
Alex cracked a smile and said “ You piss off.” ( this came from a scene in the movie BILLY ELLIOT).
Liz started laughing and looked Alex in the eye. He was such a great friend, and even when she was a total Bitch, he was still there for her, making her laugh, making her happy again, even at the worst of times. it was great to know that he would always be there. So she got up on her tip toes and hug him, as he hugged her back he slipped something her pocket. Becoming confused and filled with a strange wonder she let got and slipped her hand into her coat pocket and pulled out a gift.
“ What’s this for?” she asked. Alex just looked around acting like he had knew idea.
She quickly unwrapped the wrapping paper. And inside lay a leather box. She slowly opened it to find a silver chain necklace, and a star with an angel sitting on top, made by.
“ OH MY GOD DIAMONDS! Alex how did you get this?” Liz said in complete shock.
“ That’s not a question I am going to answer, at least not willingly. And I want tell you that this necklace has a meaning. But I cant say that it does. I got this for you for the play.” Alex informed her.
“ Alex, you don’ even know if I will make it I,” Liz started. But Alex finished for her.
“ I know that you will make it. Now listen to me, I know that you don’ have the best grace and that you aren’t exactly perfect. But in my eyes, you are a star just as the own that hangs from this chain.” he said as her clasped the necklace around Liz’s neck. “ Ad just as beautiful as the star, the angel. That angel is you, because even if you don’t show the grace of one on this world, on that stage, I know you will look beautiful and enchanting, no matter what.”
Liz looked up at Alex with her eyes twinkling with admiration. For he was her rock. She got on her tip toes once again and kissed him on the cheek. He was special, just like the diamonds that create the star and angel on the necklace laying on her neck. He was always going to be her home sweet home from home. And that home would always be Max.
“Maybe when he dreams he’ll dream of me.......”

“ First we sing then we will act out the scenes of the play.” the terrible Drama Teacher Frank Donwald said.
It was the day of the auditions and Liz was very excited. She wanted to be one of the star characters, she didn’t care which but she wanted to be one of them. But she hated the teacher with a passion, he hated he more than any of the other students, he would actually give that evil glare which could send a chill down your spine. He made Liz feel like shit all of the time. She looked around too see who was there, and saw Brad,Stage crew, and Alex, Maria, Michael, Isabel, and MAX! Brad came over to Liz and grabbed her shoulder reassuringly.
“ Liz just pretend he’s not here.” he told her. He knew she was upset with MAx.
“ How can I? He is standing right there.” Liz whispered. Then MAx looked at her, with a cold look, when he turned a little you could see the little gerbil attached to his arm. “ EWw!” Liz whined. “ That is just not right. She is an EVIL SLUT!”
“ Yup, and Im telling you Max likes um that way these day’s.” Brad said and shook his head. Looking down he saw the necklace around Liz’s neck. And his eyes widened. “ Wow! LIz where did you get the Money?” he asked as he picked it up with his hand.
“ Oh um Alex got it for me.” Liz said. Brad looked up at her suspiciously. “ For the play. I think its supposed to remind me that some where I really am special.” She said. Brad looked at her and smiled. Then turning her head she saw Max and Tess just about swallowing each others tongues.
“ Hey You, Horny Birds!” Screamed Mr. Donwald said. He was talking to Max and Tess. When they looked up from their heavy make out session Mr Donwald was starring right at them. “ If you don’t mind, this is an audition and sex ed is down the hall. Now while your in here, I would appreciate if you would lower you hormonal urges and try an pay attention. For Petes sake! You looked like a couple of horny birds going at it!”
Liz started laughing really hard just like the rest of the people in there.
“ Kinda like Alex’s dog fucking the rubber tree.” Brad joked, everyone laughed.
“ It’s a hormonal imbalance.” Alex tried to fight for himself. Liz walked over to him and wrapped an arm over his shoulder s and sat down.
“ Ok first up!” MR. donwald announced. At this point Jessica his assistant (I could resist I loved the character Jessica in the movie) would shout out the name. Silence filled the room. Jessica was sleeping, so the teacher rolled his eyes and jabbed her in the stomach. She woke up with a start. She looked around and said “ Oh, um first up Brad Telfin.
Brad got up on the stage and started with a few lines of the song. Then Liz looked behind her to find both Max and Tess sucking face once again, then just as she was about to look away she saw Max slowly open his eyes, and look at her with anger. She turned quickly back to the stage and looked at Brad.

Brand New Part Im calling this part N1
And the rest will be N2, N3, you get it right?
Today is not a good day. Her arm throbbing constantly, even though she took like four aspirins, it hurt terribly. She hurt so bad. Sometimes it wouldn’t be her arm though, sometimes it was in her heart. She knew she had done right with Max. She knew it. But for some reason when she looked across the school yard, her eyes found his, and her heart would start to pump, and her eyes would freeze, locking eyes with his, and she never moved for several minutes. And as she sat at the table with her friends, the little hairs on the back of her neck would stand on end, and turning around she would find max’s eyes once again on her. Full of pain and heart ache. She knew that she had cause them, she knew that heart ache was just screaming out to her to help, to please heal this open wound. But then deep within her, the fire blazed, the pain he created that heart ahce for her. Lying to her, betraying her, hurting her intentionally. How could soeone want to be with someone so cruel?
How could she still love him after what he did. She didn’t know. Everything in her, said screw him! Just screw the son of a bitch who brought you heart ache, and intentionally hurt you and everyone around him, making her heart shatter. But then looking at her bed room wall she saw why she didn’t. Pictures scattered all over, collected through out the years, from the age that she could walk and talk. Max was in a majority of them, smiling brightly, with those beautiful eyes.
Now as she passed Max in the halls, he would look up at her with sad eyes. just longing, and so much pain. So much pain in his eyes, when she looked in them they would look away almost immediately. He had started to grow a slight beard, and he hadn’t cut his hair. his look became more rough, just not giving a damn anymore. That he didn’t have anything that was worth it.
At tat moment Liz thanked god she didn’t have any classes with Max, she wouldn’t be able to go through a class without wondering, without looking at him. But she always feared to see him in the hall, to end up HAVING to talk to him. It was truly her worst nightmare.
As she began turn the corner someone roughly collided with her. Trying to steady herself as all of her books fell to the marble floor she whimpered, using one arm wrapping around their neck. Steadying herself she rested her head on to their strong, well formed chest. Their arms almost instantly went around her waist supporting her.
“ I am so sorry.” she apologized looking up into the eyes of her savior. Only to find those mind boggling, heart melting eyes of Max Evans. “ Oh.”
“ Are you ok? Did I hurt your arm?” Max asked almost so quickly, she couldn’t even hear him. he was so concerned for her,
“ Fine. Just fine.” she told him nodding her head. Not noticing they were still locked in an imbrace, the bell rang and all students started to scurry towards their classes.
Max noticed this and quickly let go of her looking down the hall. “ Your going to miss class.” Liz said.
“ We need to talk Liz.” Max said looking back towards her. Liz couldn’t resist, his hair was so long, he looked as if her hadn’t shaven in weeks, but in her mind it was really sexy.....
“ Um, ok.” she answered. “ Where?”
“ Out side, come on.”
Walking behind Max, she was afraid of what was about to come, what was he going to do? She knew the way she left him that night, in the bedroom of the cabin, was a terrible thing to do, and she shouldn’t have done it, but it was as if she had no choice. She couldn’t handle the memories. Turning around, Max sat himself onto the stone wall on the entrance of the school.
“ Liz I don’t want you to hate me..” he admitted to her without any effort at all. He came almost so naturally it was devastating.
“ I.” Liz started. But she couldn’t get it out, she had a large knot in her throat suddenly enabled her to talk. Swallowing the large knot she closed her eyes for a brief moment and then reopened them. “ I could never HATE you Max. You were my best friend.” She told him as she sat next to him on the stone wall. “ You always have been my best friend, my long time next door neighbor.”
“ You still thinking of me as your best friend?” Max asked confused. Hope filling his eyes without a doubt.
“ In a way, yes.” She told told. Him eyes went down cast. “ I mean Max, you hurt me, really bad...”
“ And you haven’t hurt me?” Max asked, as anger boiled in his blood. “ What about that night Liz? What about that night?” he asked hurt. Standing up, he paced then stopped right in front of her. “ I felt something. and I know you did to Liz. I know you did. Or you wouldn’t have gotten so scared.”
“ I was not afraid.” she defended herself.
“ I beg to differ” Max protested taking a step towards her. “ You felt it Liz. I KNOW YOU DID!”
Taking a step back a tear fell down Liz’s cheek. “ No. I didn’t feel anything.” she said shaking her head. She knew this was going to happen. that night was going to come up sooner or later. But she just wished it could have come a LOT later.
“ No Liz. Just stop it! That night, you wanted me, just as much as I wanted you. I just want to know why is it that you turned away Liz.” Max said. he had to figure this out, Trying to keep his thinking straight was impossible this past week. he mind kept going back to that night. It was driving him insane..
“ Yes Max! I wanted you ok!” She screamed at him, making him flinch. “ I wanted you so bad that it hurt!”
“ then why did you turn away from me! Why!” he screamed right back. Their anger was terrifying, boiling so hot so furious, it was awful.
“ Because,” she whispered as the tears flowed freely down her face now, “ because I have nothing to offer.” she cried.
“ What?” Max asked in a whisper.
