Author’s Note: Hey everybody! We’re back and with a new story! This one is completely finished, and it’d been in my inbox forever, so my and my co-author decided to finally post it, so, hope you like!
Disclaimer: We do not own anything Roswell, none of the characters, just the plot.
Summary: Liz and Max have been best friends since kindergarten, being there for each other through everything, including the death of Max's father, leaving Max and his mother nearly $100,000 in debt. In the summer before their freshman year, Max and his mother move to Seattle and they don't really keep in touch. Liz moves on and finds a new best friend (Maria) and even a boyfriend (Kyle) when Max comes back during their senior year. They rekindle their friendship making Kyle extremely jealous. Does he have every right to be jealous or are Liz and Max really just friends?
Chapter 1
"Oh! Look Max! Max look there's a shooting star!" Liz Parker exclaimed, tugging on her best friend's arm as they lay down on the cool grass, looking up at the night sky. It was unusually pleasant out, it being the middle of July and one of the hottest summers on record, and Max and Liz had decided to take advantage of it.
"Quick, make a wish," Max Evans said softly, smiling over at Liz. She giggled and closed her eyes for a few moments before opening them and looking back at him. "Well? What'd you wish for?" he asked but she shook her head.
"If I tell you, it won't come true, silly," she said, sticking her tongue out at him.
He laughed, his smile staying on his face as the sound of crickets chirping replaced the sound of his voice, just enjoying the peacefulness. This would be their last summer before high school started.
"Can you believe that this September we'll be starting high school? Seems like only yesterday we met, playing in the sandbox in kindergarten," Liz sighed, sitting up on her elbows and glancing at Max before returning her gaze to the sky.
"Yeah. I still can't believe you stomped on my sand castle. I should've beaten you up for doing that, you know," Max joked, playfully hitting her arm.
"Come on, you couldn't hurt a fly," she said, laughing and falling on her back again.
"Liz Parker, do you not remember that kid in 6th grade who picked on you? I kicked his pale little ass!" Max exclaimed, looking over at Liz, who was laughing on the grass.
"How could I forget!" she gasped through her laughter. "He still runs away whenever you're around, even after two years."
"Of course he does! I'm a very intimidating person, and don't you forget it Miss Parker," Max said, suddenly standing up and pulling her up, "Let's race, last one home has to buy lunch tomorrow!"
"You're on!" she exclaimed, grinning at him before taking off, Max chasing after her. Ever since they were little kids, Max and Liz did everything together. Whenever Liz went on a trip it was Max she brought along and vice versa.
They were always there for each other; whether it was when Liz was getting bullied or when Max's father died from lung cancer, leaving he and his mother nearly $70,000 in debt.
Before his father died, Max and his family lived next door to Liz, who lived above her father's catering business, which had its own store. After he died though, they were forced to move into a small run down apartment on the far side of Roswell.
Most nights, though, Max ended up falling asleep on the floor in her room or on the couch, and even if he didn't, he was at her house until late at night anyway which her father didn't mind; Max was part of the family.
To help pay some of their debts off, Max had been given a part time catering job, like Liz had.
"Ha! Beat you!" Liz exclaimed, running into the small shop where her father sat at the counter, finishing up some work.
"Hey kids," Jeff said, smiling up at them as they sat down at the counter.
"Hey daddy," Liz said happily, leaning over and kissing her father's cheek.
"Did you guys have fun?" Jeff asked, putting the receipts and things he walked to the back of the room, taking some cake out of the fridge.
"Mmmhmm, Max owes me lunch," Liz said, giggling and pushing Max playfully. Jeff smiled and shook his head, setting the cake down in front of them as well as two forks.
"Chocolate!" she exclaimed, digging into the cake and finishing right before Max did.
When they were finished, Liz let out a yawn and set down her fork. "I think I'm gonna turn in...Wanna stay here tonight, Max?" she asked.
"Sure, we have that gig tomorrow at Shelby McGraw's wedding, right Jeff?" Max asked, setting his fork on top of his plate.
"Yes we do so I'm waking the both of you up bright and early, you hear?" Jeff said, collecting their plates and washing them.
"Yes father," Liz replied before running upstairs, Max trailing behind her. The only reason why Jeff let Max spend the night was because he knew Max was a respectable boy, that and Liz had assured her father that she only thought of Max as a brother and her best friend.
After getting changed, Liz laid out Max's sleeping bag on the floor in her room before she crawled into bed. "G'night, Max," she said sleepily.
"Night Liz," he replied softly as she turned out the lights.
~*~
"Aw shit!" Liz exclaimed as she dropped a tray of appetizers all over the kitchen floor.
“Liz! Not the caviar!” Jeff exclaimed, rushing over to where she stood, frantically trying to save as much of the food as she could.
“Oh my God I’m so sorry dad!” she exclaimed, picking up the little hors d’oeuvres, but her father reached out, grabbing her hand.
“It’s alright Lizzie, there are more waiting on the counter, just…be more careful,” Jeff said softly as Max came back in, fixing his uniform shirt before grabbing another plate of shrimp cocktails.
“Great job out there Max, they love your personality,” Jeff said to him as he waited for Liz to get her tray.
“Thank you, Jeff,” he said before leaving the room with her by his side, “Butter fingers.”
He quickly stuck his tongue out at her before venturing to the north side of the room to serve some more of the wedding guests, who never seemed to get full.
“Caviar?” she asked to random people, most who turned up their noses to her, but this much she expected. Shelby McGraw was one of the…wealthier people inhabiting Roswell, and most of these people were probably from more upper class areas, people who thought they were better than most of the inhabitants of little ole Roswell.
“Dad, no one wants this gross stuff, why can’t I have the shrimp, everyone’s taking Max’s shrimp,” Liz said, coming back into the kitchen with a tray pretty much full.
“Are you being as polite as you could possibly be? Are you using that Parker charm to its full advantage?” Jeff asked her, taking a break talking to the chef to talk to her.
“Well…maybe not completely to its advantage,” she mumbled, pouting a little bit.
“You’ve been out there a while, take a break while the main entrées are finishing up, and then you can show me how charming you can be,” he told her, smiling at her.
“Thank you daddy, my feet are killing me,” she told him, removing the stiff black high heels before walking over to the small room they used as a break room and sitting down.
“Look at you Parker, on break already while I’m busting my ass out there,” Max joked, leaning against the doorframe with a smirk on his face.
“You wanna switch shoes? Yours look mighty comfortable Max, I wouldn’t mind at all,” Liz said, holding out her shoes.
“Oh God, toxic waste!” he exclaimed, plugging his nose as she held them out.
“Haha very funny Evans, so, are you on break, or are you slacking?” Liz asked him, pulling her hair out of its bun and shaking it out.
“Your dad is letting me have a break, to answer your oh so rude question,” Max replied, loosening his pitch black tie and sitting down next to Liz, taking her hair in his hands and quickly braiding it, something she had taught him to do in 2nd grade.
She smiled and yawned before leaning back against him, trying her best not to fall asleep, but her body betrayed her and soon she was out cold, curled up in a little ball against her best friend.
~*~
“Dad, has Max called today?” Liz asked Jeff a week and a half later as she came downstairs after her routine morning shower.
“No, he hasn’t, why?” Jeff replied, checking over a list of ingredients that they had to order for Danielle Spenser’s sweet 16 party.
“Oh, well he hasn’t called here in almost a week, or visited, I’m kinda worried about him, should I go to his place, see if he’s alright?” she asked him, taking a seat at the counter.
“Do what you think is best…maybe he’s sick, or it may be family problems…you know that he likes to keep his personal problems to himself Lizzie,” Jeff told her, “I have to make a call now, so can we finish this conversation later?”
“Yeah daddy, I’m going to go to McDonalds and get some lunch, I’ll be back in about 10 minutes or so,” Liz said softly before leaving the small catering store.
After her lunch, she went back to the store, seeing Max and his mother sitting at the counter, both looking sad. "Max, what's wrong?? Where have you been??" Liz asked, hurrying over to him.
"Can we go upstairs?" he asked her quietly, looking down at her. She nodded quickly and led him upstairs, glancing back at her father, who looked shell shocked as he talked to Mrs. Evans.
"Max, what's going on?" she asked as they sat down on her bed.
"I...I have a brother Liz...I have a 14 year old brother in Seattle…he’s only 6 months younger than me," Max said quietly, as if he didn't believe it himself.
"Oh...well...when is he getting here?" Liz asked and Max's face fell.
"He isn't. Let me explain Liz. My father...he, well had a couple of...mistresses, and I guess this one got pregnant and had a baby. The baby, well kid, Michael, lives with her parents in Seattle...we're moving to Seattle Liz. Her parents, his grandparents, offered us a lot of money to take care of him, but it had to be by them," he told her, his voice choking now and then.
"Oh...my God," Liz whispered, feeling tears on her face, "For...for how long?"
"I don't know...but Liz...I'll write and...and call," he told her, putting his arm around her.
"You'll write and call? Max we spend every day together! Do you think that writing and calling with be the same?" she exclaimed, jumping up and storming out onto her balcony, locking the door.
"Liz!" he exclaimed, jumping up and following her. He banged on the door and said, "I know it won't be the same! I don't like this either!"
"Just leave me alone," she muttered, burying her face into her knees as he continued to knock on the door. "Liz...I'm leaving today," he called through the door brokenly.
"What!" she exclaimed, standing up and walking over to the door, her vision blurred by tears.
"We've been packing all week...we're leaving in 10 minutes," Max said through the window, "Please Liz, let me in."
"Max, ever since kindergarten we've told each other everything...how could you keep this from me?" she asked him, still not letting him in.
"I didn't...I didn't want to believe that this was happening," he told her softly. "Saying goodbye to you would...make it real."
"It's pretty real now Max," she whispered, barely audible through the glass separating them. She heard Diane call for Max and turned away, not wanting him to see her this vulnerable.
"Liz, please," he said softly.
"Just leave, Max...you wouldn't want to keep your mother waiting," Liz mumbled brokenly.
"Liz...you're my best friend, I love you Liz," he said, tears leaving trails of fire on his cheeks.
"...Goodbye Max," she said.
"Goodbye, Liz," he whispered, walking slowly out of her room.
She glanced back and the moment he disappeared from view she let it all go, crying harder than she ever had in her life.
About ten minutes later, she heard a knock at the door and perked up, throwing it open in hopes that Max hadn't left after all...but it was just her dad.
"Lizzie...open up we need to talk," he told her through the window.
"No! I don't want to talk to anyone!" she cried, fresh tears falling from her eyes.
"You can't stay out there forever sweetheart," he said softly, "I know you're hurt, but bottling it won't do you any good."
"Just go away! Leave me alone!" she exclaimed.
She sensed him hesitate before leaving her in her peace. She heard an engine start and she bolted up, running over to the edge of her balcony, overlooking the street, and seeing Max slowly walk over to the car.
She just looked down at him and, as if he could feel her eyes on him, he looked up at her. For a moment, they held each other's gaze before he smiled sadly at her and got into the car.
A drop of rain hit Liz's shoulder and she looked up at the sky as suddenly the heavens opened and it began to pour, as if it was crying for Max as well. The car drove off, taking Max to his new life as Liz stood in the rain.
"Lizzie, come on inside! It's pouring!" her father called through the window.
She looked over at him, before looking back up at the sky, sensing the irony in the fact that the moment Max leaves, they get the first rain of the summer.
She turned her gaze toward the street, Max's car not even visible anymore before she turned around and went back into her room, her face blank of any emotion.
"Oh Lizzie...it'll be alright, I promise it will," her mother said softly, just getting home from work, and Jeff filling her in on everything.
"No it won't," Liz mumbled, wanting to cry but no tears were left.
Her mother kissed her softly on the forehead before Liz walked into her bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror, looking at the miserable wreck staring at her, and determined that she wouldn't live her life this way...she was going to pick up her life...she was going to live.
Should we continue?? Be back in 2 or 3 days if the answer is yes

Author's Note: Thank's so much for your support, we're so glad that you liked the last chapter, so, here's the next chapter, hope you like!!
Chapter 2
"Maria! You had your break fifteen minutes ago!" Liz exclaimed as he best friend Maria sat at one of the booths, drinking a soda.
"Liz, there is no one here, chill!" Maria exclaimed, smiling a little.
She smiled back before sitting down, shoving her face in her hands. She had just gotten her first C on a test...ever, and it was affecting her mood majorly. She took out her order pad and ripped off the top page, which she had doodled on just moments earlier, balling it up and throwing it into the trash bin.
Her parents had decided that catering just wasn't for them and decided to open a restaurant: The Crashdown Cafe, an alien-themed cafe and the most popular hang out in town. "Well hello ladies...working hard or hardly working?" Kyle Valenti asked, laughing and sliding into the booth next to Liz, kissing her on the cheek.
"Hey Kyle," she said as he took her hand affectionately in his. Liz was now in her senior year, making it almost 3 years since Max had left her life...never writing and never calling as he had promised to do.
She was sad at first, but she had gotten over it, moving on with her life as she promised she'd do. She had found a new best friend in Maria Deluca and a loving, loyal boyfriend in Kyle Valenti.
"So, do you have any plans for later? Tonight is the homecoming game, remember, and afterwards I thought we could get a bite to eat, probably here, but hey, food is food, right?" Kyle asked her, laughing.
"Sure," Liz replied as the door opened. "Ugh...excuse me, duty calls," she said as Kyle slid out of the booth so she could get up.
Her shift ended an hour and a half later and she went upstairs to get ready for the football game.
~*~
"Liiiz, come on!!! You've been up there for nearly two hours!!!" Maria screamed up the stairs.
"Yeah, well I want to look my best Maria, plus, we have plenty of time, trust me, no one really shows up until, like, half an hour into the game," Liz said, opening her door with a towel wrapped around her thin body, "I just have to get dressed and then I'll be ready."
"God, you're not even out of the shower!" Maria groaned, though she smiled a little. She had only just gotten done getting ready herself.
"So, who are you dolling yourself up for? Liz called through the tiny crack of her door.
"There's a couple of new kids in town...wanna look my best," Maria said, smirking.
"Oh really? I haven't seen any new kids, and why would they be at the football game, even if hey were new?" Liz asked, stepping out of her room wearing a long tunic shirt and a pair of her favorite jeans.
"I don't know but I am not taking that chance, chica," Maria replied. She looked Liz up and down and smiled. "Ladies and gentlemen, Miss America!!" she exclaimed, both of them giggling.
"Oh please," Liz replied, tucking a piece of her long brown hair behind her ear, "do I look that bad?"
"Please, chica...you are the most gorgeous girl at Roswell High, you never look bad," Maria told her before clapping her hands impatiently. "Come on, woman, let's go!!!”
"Alright, alright," Liz said, laughing as Maria practically ran her out into the main restaurant.
"I'm outta here, dad!" she called to her dad who was in the kitchen. "Ok sweetie...just be back before one," he called back.
"Oh...wait...who's that?" Maria asked Liz, grabbing her arm and casually nodding over to a boy around their age sitting in a corner booth by himself and eating a hamburger.
"Must be one of the new guys," Liz replied, shrugging.
"Let's go be friendly...he's kind of cute, you know...in a brooding "the-world-hates-me" kind of way, but I dig the hair," Maria said, her forefinger resting on her chin.
Liz rolled her eyes. "Whatever. You go, I'll meet you outside," she said.
"No! I can't talk to him alone!" Maria exclaimed. Liz rolled her eyes again and let out a hearty laugh, "What would I do without you? We'll talk to him tomorrow...Roswell isn't that big of a town Maria, it's not like he'll disappear," she told her, before dragging her out of the restaurant and to her car, where she drove them to the familiar football field.
~*~
"WE WOOOOON!" the entire team shouted as they and about half the senior class of Roswell High ran into the Crashdown after the game.
Liz, who was being carried by her ecstatic boyfriend, laughed out and cheered as well as everyone hurried to get seats, and her father ordered as many pizzas as the local pizza place would let him.
Liz grabbed a piece of pizza from the nearest open box, glancing over and noticing that the same guy was sitting in the corner booth, no longer eating, but concentrating intensely on a book.
"How odd..." she muttered, gaining Kyle's attention.
"What's odd?" he asked her, leaning over and kissing her softly.
"Nothing," she told him, smiling and kissing his lips lightly.
"Ok...well eat up Liz! We have plenty of pizza and a long night of partying ahead of us!" Kyle exclaimed, chowing down a piece of pizza immediately.
She grinned and took another piece, glancing back over to the guy at the booth.
He chose that moment to look up as well, their eyes connecting for a moment before he glanced away. She had never seen him before in her life.
He had brown eyes, ordinary, yet there was something to them that caught her attention. That along with a determined brow, a look of displeasure, and wavy hair, just past his chin, made him look like he hated the world, yet wanted someone to see him.
"That's it, I'm going over there," Maria said suddenly, standing up. She tucked her hair behind her ears and looked down at Liz. "How do I look?"
"Just rrrrrravishing, dahling!" Liz exclaimed, laughing as Maria walked away.
Liz watched as Maria went up to the table, the boy looking up after a moment, and Maria immediately beginning to chat up a storm.
Liz had wondered why Maria had been single since her last boyfriend broke up with her two months ago. She was usually right back out there with a new boyfriend within a week of a break up.
Kyle leaned over and whispered something in Liz's ear, causing her to grin before she glanced over to where her father was in the kitchen...it'd be a piece of cake to get out of here unnoticed.
Not that she and Kyle had...done the deed yet. No, she was still good little Liz Parker...good grades, good job, never getting into trouble...though she was a bit more rebellious, always sneaking off with Kyle to make out up in her room or at the park or...well, anywhere really.
As soon as he stopped the car, Liz grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and kissed him fiercely.
"Someone's horny," Kyle said, chuckling as she moved her way into his lap.
"I just want to congratulate you on winning the big game," she said, grinning and kissing him again.
"Oh really?" he asked her, a big grin forming on his face as he kissed her even more passionately. They had been dating about a year and a half, and he had been trying to get her to give in to him and go all the way with him, but she simply wasn't ready for that yet.
She slid her hands up under his shirt as she kissed his neck. Not that they hadn't gotten far...no, they'd done basically everything BUT sex.
Somehow they managed to get into the backseat of the tiny convertible, the windows of the car completely steamed up by now as they continued to kiss and grope each other, both of them practically naked.
"Mmmm," she moaned as he unclasped her bra and massaged her breasts.
Unfortunately though, her cell phone chose that moment to start ringing. "Don't answer it," Kyle groaned.
She let out a soft moan and kissed him passionately as the phone kept ringing. "Ugh, hold on, I have to," she mumbled, reaching into the front for her purse and fishing out her cell phone.
"Shit, it's dad," she said, groaning and sitting up, pushing her hair out of her eyes as Kyle continued to kiss her neck, "Hey dad..."
"Lizzie, where are you??" her father exclaimed. Liz stifled a moan as Kyle's hands cupped her breasts, his lips still on her neck.
"Oh, uhm, Kyle took me to the convenience store, I had to get some allergy meds, you know the pollen has been really bugging me lately, but we're on our way home now dad, so I'll see you in a few minutes, love you bye," Liz said in one breath before hanging up.
"That was so close," she mumbled, laughing shakily.
"I guess this means we have to run by the corner store, pick up some Allegra and get you back, doesn't it?" Kyle asked, grinning up at her.
"Yeah...maybe we can pick up where we left off after my shift tomorrow," she said, grinning and kissing him softly.
"I'll hold you to that Ms. Parker. Are we up for the drive in tomorrow night? They're showing Wizard of Oz, I know you love that movie," he said as she dressed.
"Sounds like a plan," she said, smiling at him as they climbed into the front seats.
Kyle quickly drove her to the nearest convenience store, where she bought her usual allergy medicine before they drove as fast as possible back to the Crashdown.
Liz ran back to the kitchen where her father was. "Sorry we took so long, dad," she said, smiling apologetically at him.
"It's alright. Could you help me clean up some of the empty boxes Lizzie? I think they're starting to get full, so everyone will be out soon," Jeff said to her as he put out some more cans of soda.
"Sure thing, dad," she said, setting her medicine down on the counter before going to help her dad.

Chapter 2
"Maria! You had your break fifteen minutes ago!" Liz exclaimed as he best friend Maria sat at one of the booths, drinking a soda.
"Liz, there is no one here, chill!" Maria exclaimed, smiling a little.
She smiled back before sitting down, shoving her face in her hands. She had just gotten her first C on a test...ever, and it was affecting her mood majorly. She took out her order pad and ripped off the top page, which she had doodled on just moments earlier, balling it up and throwing it into the trash bin.
Her parents had decided that catering just wasn't for them and decided to open a restaurant: The Crashdown Cafe, an alien-themed cafe and the most popular hang out in town. "Well hello ladies...working hard or hardly working?" Kyle Valenti asked, laughing and sliding into the booth next to Liz, kissing her on the cheek.
"Hey Kyle," she said as he took her hand affectionately in his. Liz was now in her senior year, making it almost 3 years since Max had left her life...never writing and never calling as he had promised to do.
She was sad at first, but she had gotten over it, moving on with her life as she promised she'd do. She had found a new best friend in Maria Deluca and a loving, loyal boyfriend in Kyle Valenti.
"So, do you have any plans for later? Tonight is the homecoming game, remember, and afterwards I thought we could get a bite to eat, probably here, but hey, food is food, right?" Kyle asked her, laughing.
"Sure," Liz replied as the door opened. "Ugh...excuse me, duty calls," she said as Kyle slid out of the booth so she could get up.
Her shift ended an hour and a half later and she went upstairs to get ready for the football game.
~*~
"Liiiz, come on!!! You've been up there for nearly two hours!!!" Maria screamed up the stairs.
"Yeah, well I want to look my best Maria, plus, we have plenty of time, trust me, no one really shows up until, like, half an hour into the game," Liz said, opening her door with a towel wrapped around her thin body, "I just have to get dressed and then I'll be ready."
"God, you're not even out of the shower!" Maria groaned, though she smiled a little. She had only just gotten done getting ready herself.
"So, who are you dolling yourself up for? Liz called through the tiny crack of her door.
"There's a couple of new kids in town...wanna look my best," Maria said, smirking.
"Oh really? I haven't seen any new kids, and why would they be at the football game, even if hey were new?" Liz asked, stepping out of her room wearing a long tunic shirt and a pair of her favorite jeans.
"I don't know but I am not taking that chance, chica," Maria replied. She looked Liz up and down and smiled. "Ladies and gentlemen, Miss America!!" she exclaimed, both of them giggling.
"Oh please," Liz replied, tucking a piece of her long brown hair behind her ear, "do I look that bad?"
"Please, chica...you are the most gorgeous girl at Roswell High, you never look bad," Maria told her before clapping her hands impatiently. "Come on, woman, let's go!!!”
"Alright, alright," Liz said, laughing as Maria practically ran her out into the main restaurant.

Chapter 3
Liz slowly walked into West Roswell High, smiling softly as she read a text message from Kyle, sending him a reply before placing her phone back into her purse, her eyes looking up at all of the various gold and blue banners congratulating the football team on their victory last night.
"Liz!" Maria exclaimed, running after her. "Wait up!!"
"Oh, hey Ria! How did it go with that mystery guy last night?" Liz asked as they walked over to her locker.
"Ok...didn't talk very much...he's what my mom likes to call a vibrator," Maria said, giggling a little.
"A...what?" Liz exclaimed, laughing.
"You know...he sends vibes through the atmosphere," Maria said, laughing and making weird motions with her arms.
"...Yeah...so, what's vibe man's name, and what grade is he in?" Liz asked, closing her locker door as Maria started to talk.
"His name is Michael Guerin and he's a senior," Maria told her. "And he has a brother...though I forget what his name is."
"And where are these gentlemen from? Or did you forget that as well?" Liz asked as they walked down the hall, someone bumping into her and causing her to drop everything, "Jackass!"
Liz groaned when the guy didn't even look back and leaned down to collect her books when a male voice stopped her, "Oh here...let me help you with that."
"Really, you don't have to," Liz said, though he scooped up her books anyways, handing them back to her once they stood up.
She smiled gratefully at him as the bell rang. "Thanks...I should be getting to class," she said, giving him a wave before walking away.
"Who was Mr. Hottie Liz, and why didn't you ask for his number?" Maria demanded, latching onto Liz. "Uhm, hello Maria, I have a boyfriend," Liz said, laughing, but a look of slight confusion on her face, he was familiar, but she couldn't quite put a name to him.
"Well if this thing with Michael doesn't work out, I've got dibs," Maria said, grinning before heading off to her own class.
~*~
Liz slowly buttoned up her uniform as she and Maria got ready for their shift, "Ria, it's swamped out there, I can feel my feet aching already," Liz whined, sticking on her antennas
"Come on, chica, you've got a duty!" Maria exclaimed, laughing and pushing Liz out into the restaurant.
She sighed and took her order pad out of her pocket, walking over to her dad, who gave each of them their assigned tables for the day, "Lookie who Ms. Liz Parker has got, the hottie with a body, and his brother, at least I think it’s his brother, Michael," Maria said, nudging Liz and pointing over to a booth, where the guy from earlier sat across from Michael.
Liz laughed and shook her head, walking over to the table. "Hi, I'm Liz, I'll be your server today...can I start you off with something to drink?" she asked, smiling brightly at them. She hated being a waitress, but at least she got paid.
"Liz?" The mystery guy asked her, a familiar something in his voice. She looked at him over her order pad.
"...Yeah?" she replied slowly.
They looked at each other for a moment, his amber eyes gazing into her brown ones and a small smile crept onto her face. "...Max?" she said slowly.
A larger smile broke out onto his face and she let out a loud squeal as he stood up, hugging her tight, "Oh my god you're back!" she exclaimed, still smiling, until she realized something.
She slowly pulled away, her smile disappearing. "You never wrote," she said quietly. "Or called, like you promised."
She took his hand and led him outside, ignoring the frantic gestures Maria was making at her.
"Liz, I can explain," he began but she shook her head.
"You promised, Max!" she exclaimed.
"Could you just...listen for a moment?" he cried as she continued to rant and rave, "Just...listen! We left on such bad terms Liz. You would barely speak to me, you wouldn't let me explain, and I figured you wanted nothing to do with me. Anyways, your parents had our new address and phone number, I know they told you Liz, you could've written too, or called, anything to show that we were best friends at one time, but you didn't either, so don't blame this entirely on me Liz Parker, not before you consider that this was your fault too."
She opened her mouth to speak again but he beat her to it, "I really don't want to fight, Liz...I've missed you so much."
"I...I missed you too Max," she said, the tears coming to her eyes.
"Liz...I'm not saying that it was entirely your fault, I promise I'm not. I know it was my fault too. I got so caught up in having a brother, having someone that was related to me, someone besides my mother, I should've called, and I should've written, but I guess a part of me thought it was the best if I didn't...I figured that you would get on in your life...make new best friends, forget me, and I figured that I'd rather end the pain quicker, than have it to where we talked all the time, and wrote all the time, and gradually we just stopped talking, because we had new lives," Max said, letting out a deep sigh at the end, "But all of that can just...be pushed behind us...because I'm back Liz, and I don't plan on leaving for a while. My mother was hit by a car about a month ago...you're the closest thing to family I have right now besides Michael."
"Oh Max," she said softly. "I'm so sorry." They hugged tightly for a moment before pulling back. "I'm really glad you're back, Max...we have so much to catch up on," she said, smiling.
He smiled back at her before heading back into the Crashdown, "For starters, your uniform," he said, laughing as he looked at her.
"Haha, shut up. I have to finish my shift, but afterwards you can stay the night and we can catch up," she said, punching him in the arm.
"Sounds like a plan," he said, grinning and hugging her again. "It's so good to see you again, Liz...really, it is."
"I'll see you later, you have to introduce me to your brother sometime, but now I have to get to table 6," Liz said before walking away.
"Ok, what the hell was that???" Maria exclaimed, practically running over to her.
"Max Evans!" Liz said as though it justified everything. She had only mentioned him once or twice and no doubt Maria had no clue who he was.
"...Who??" Maria asked and Liz sighed. "Max Evans...he was my best friend since kindergarten, but he moved to Seattle the summer before freshman year...I've told you about him," she said.
"You...have? Well I don't remember," Maria said shrugging and laughing before walking away, "You'll have to tell me later!"
"Ok, I will!" Liz exclaimed before moving to her next table.
The rest of the night stretched out slower than ever for Liz, who kept smiling and shaking her head as she thought about how lucky she was to have Max back in her life. He had left about a half an hour after their talk, along with his brother, and since then she had just been trying to get through the rest of her shift without killing herself.
"3...2...1!" she exclaimed, retreating to the back room and changing out of her uniform.
"Got a hot date with Kyle tonight?" Maria asked as she pulled on her jeans and a t-shirt.
"Oh my god, Kyle," Liz said slowly, her eyes widening. "I totally forgot...I invited Max over tonight so we could catch up!"
"I'm sure he'll understand, you guys spend all the time together, and you haven't seen Max in like...forever," Maria said.
"I know," Liz said, smiling a little as her dad called from the kitchen, "Liz, looks like you've got a visitor!"
She said goodbye to Maria quickly before running out front, expecting Max at first.
"Hey, Kyle," she said, smiling nervously. "Hey, babe...you ready to go?" he asked.
"Actually...I need to cancel," she said, fidgeting with the hem of her shirt.
"What? Why?" he asked, moving closer to her when the door opened and Max walked in.
Her eyes betrayed her as she looked over at Max, who smiled at her, and Kyle turned around, "Who's he?" he asked.
"Kyle this is my old friend Max," Liz said, smiling at Max. "Max, this is my boyfriend Kyle."
"Hey," Max said, shaking Kyle's hand, who looked skeptically at him, as though he still didn't trust him.
"He just moved back from Seattle, and we haven't talked in about 3 years, and I thought we could spend tonight talking..." Liz said to Kyle.
"Well then," Kyle said, turning back to Liz.
"I'm really sorry, Kyle...another time, ok?" she said, smiling at him.
"Alright, nice meeting you...Max," Kyle said, looking him over once more before leaving the Crashdown. Liz could sense his insecurity about Max, and could sort of tell why.
"He seems...nice," Max said and Liz sighed.
"He really is...we've been dating for over a year now...he's the Sheriff's son," Liz told him as her father walked in.
"Max Evans, is that you?" he asked, grinning and walking over to the both of them.
Max nodded and Jeff immediately hugged him tight, "I had no clue you were in town!" he exclaimed.
"Actually, me and my brother, Michael, moved back...mom was killed by a car about a month ago," Max said softly, bowing his head.
"Max...that's awful, I'm so sorry," Jeff said and Max nodded.
"Thank you," he said quietly. Liz could see the sadness in her best friend's eyes and touched him lightly on the arm.
"We should head upstairs," she said and Max nodded. "It was really good to see you again, Mr. P.," Max said.
"Please, it's Jeff, you know that. Are you going to be staying the night? I think Liz still has your old sleeping bag upstairs somewhere," he mused.
"Yeah, I've got it covered, dad," Liz told him. "Come on, we have sooo much to talk about!" She dragged him up the stairs, right past a confused Maria and into her bedroom.

"Sounds like a plan," he said, grinning and hugging her again. "It's so good to see you again, Liz...really, it is."
"I'll see you later, you have to introduce me to your brother sometime, but now I have to get to table 6," Liz said before walking away.
"Ok, what the hell was that???" Maria exclaimed, practically running over to her.
"Max Evans!" Liz said as though it justified everything. She had only mentioned him once or twice and no doubt Maria had no clue who he was.
"...Who??" Maria asked and Liz sighed. "Max Evans...he was my best friend since kindergarten, but he moved to Seattle the summer before freshman year...I've told you about him," she said.
"You...have? Well I don't remember," Maria said shrugging and laughing before walking away, "You'll have to tell me later!"
"Ok, I will!" Liz exclaimed before moving to her next table.
The rest of the night stretched out slower than ever for Liz, who kept smiling and shaking her head as she thought about how lucky she was to have Max back in her life. He had left about a half an hour after their talk, along with his brother, and since then she had just been trying to get through the rest of her shift without killing herself.
"3...2...1!" she exclaimed, retreating to the back room and changing out of her uniform.
"Got a hot date with Kyle tonight?" Maria asked as she pulled on her jeans and a t-shirt.
"Oh my god, Kyle," Liz said slowly, her eyes widening. "I totally forgot...I invited Max over tonight so we could catch up!"
"I'm sure he'll understand, you guys spend all the time together, and you haven't seen Max in like...forever," Maria said.
"I know," Liz said, smiling a little as her dad called from the kitchen, "Liz, looks like you've got a visitor!"
She said goodbye to Maria quickly before running out front, expecting Max at first.
"Hey, Kyle," she said, smiling nervously. "Hey, babe...you ready to go?" he asked.
"Actually...I need to cancel," she said, fidgeting with the hem of her shirt.
"What? Why?" he asked, moving closer to her when the door opened and Max walked in.
Her eyes betrayed her as she looked over at Max, who smiled at her, and Kyle turned around, "Who's he?" he asked.
"Kyle this is my old friend Max," Liz said, smiling at Max. "Max, this is my boyfriend Kyle."
"Hey," Max said, shaking Kyle's hand, who looked skeptically at him, as though he still didn't trust him.
"He just moved back from Seattle, and we haven't talked in about 3 years, and I thought we could spend tonight talking..." Liz said to Kyle.
"Well then," Kyle said, turning back to Liz.
"I'm really sorry, Kyle...another time, ok?" she said, smiling at him.
"Alright, nice meeting you...Max," Kyle said, looking him over once more before leaving the Crashdown. Liz could sense his insecurity about Max, and could sort of tell why.
"He seems...nice," Max said and Liz sighed.
"He really is...we've been dating for over a year now...he's the Sheriff's son," Liz told him as her father walked in.
"Max Evans, is that you?" he asked, grinning and walking over to the both of them.
Max nodded and Jeff immediately hugged him tight, "I had no clue you were in town!" he exclaimed.
"Actually, me and my brother, Michael, moved back...mom was killed by a car about a month ago," Max said softly, bowing his head.
"Max...that's awful, I'm so sorry," Jeff said and Max nodded.
"Thank you," he said quietly. Liz could see the sadness in her best friend's eyes and touched him lightly on the arm.
"We should head upstairs," she said and Max nodded. "It was really good to see you again, Mr. P.," Max said.
"Please, it's Jeff, you know that. Are you going to be staying the night? I think Liz still has your old sleeping bag upstairs somewhere," he mused.
"Yeah, I've got it covered, dad," Liz told him. "Come on, we have sooo much to talk about!" She dragged him up the stairs, right past a confused Maria and into her bedroom.

Chapter 4
"You look fantastic Liz! I swear I didn't even recognize you in the hall earlier today!" Max exclaimed as Liz emerged from her closet, airing out the old Ninja Turtles sleeping bag.
"I didn't recognize you either!" she exclaimed, grinning hugely. He had changed so much since the last time she'd seen him.
He was taller, better built, like he played a lot of sports, though she knew he was the kind of guy who liked to stay inside, pig out and play video games. His hair seemed lighter, his voice deeper and...well, basically everything about him was different.
Except, though, his eyes. Those had always been the same. From the time he was only 5, up until the summer before their freshman year, they had been that gorgeous amber.
"Oh god, look at that old thing!" Max said, laughing at the sleeping bag.
Liz grinned and nodded. "Seems like ages, doesn't it? Longer than three years," she said.
"Yeah...and you've had that sleeping bag since I was 6," Max said, laughing as Liz turned on the radio.
"Oh my god," Liz said, grinning over at Max as Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen started to play. "It's our song!!"
"Oh my God, it is isn't it?" Max exclaimed as Liz jumped quickly onto her bed, grabbing her hairbrush.
"Is this the real life, is this just fantasy! Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality!!" she sang, grinning like crazy.
"You don't expect me to sing do you?" he asked as she jumped off of her bed and ran over to him.
She held the brush out to him and said, "C'mon, Maxie...just like old times."
"Yeah, I believe my voice just died for the night," Max said as she pouted.
"Come on, pweeease!" she exclaimed, pouting some more.
He let out a long sigh before taking the brush, "I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, because I'm easy come easy go, little high little low, any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me," Max sang, making faces at him as he started to sing at where the song was at.
Liz laughed out loud and clapped her hands, grabbing another brush and joining in.
They sang throughout the rest of the song, collapsing on the bed in the end in fits of laughter that wouldn't go away. Finally Liz sat up on her knees and grabbed one of her pillows, smacking Max upside the head, "So, Mr. Evans, tell me about the 3 years you were gone," she said, lying down with her head in his lap.
"Well...nothing too exciting...though I did learn a few things about my father I would have rather not known," he said darkly and she looked up at him.
"What?" she asked.
“Well, besides the fact that he had several mistresses, he was...well married to the one that Michael resulted in...he had 3 wives actually, the 3rd in New York. And he had perfectly good excuses to see them, because of his business he traveled a lot. After I found that out, I got why he left us in so much debt," Max told her.
"I'm so sorry Max," Liz said softly, "let's get off of this subject, it's too unhappy. Tell me about your Seattle life. You must've been a major babe magnet."
Max shrugged, though a grin made its way onto his face. "There was this one girl..." he said and Liz sat up. "Oooh, tell me all about her!" she exclaimed.
"It wasn't really that serious...we dated for a couple of months in sophomore year, her name is Tess...Tess Harding he told her, laughing a little.
"Now, tell me about Kyle," Max said and Liz grinned.
"He's so great, Max...he's sweet, lovable and loyal...and he appreciates me," she said and Max chuckled.
"Sounds like you're describing a poodle," he said.
"Haha, very funny. There's only one downside. The whole fact that gets jealous easy, the reason why he wasn't exactly chummy with you," she told him, lying back down in his lap.
"Ah well, I can understand," he said, softly stroking her hair.
She suddenly sat up and grinned at him. "Braid my hair like you used to," she said, turning her back to him.
"Ok. Let's see if I can remember how to do this," Max said, taking her long hair in his hands as he tried to remember how to braid hair, thinking a second before remembering and quickly braiding it.
When he was done, she turned toward him. "I can't believe you still remember after all these years," she said.
"Yeah, well you had me trained like a puppy Liz Parker, what can I say?" Max replied, smirking at her.
She shrugged and smiled. "You hungry? I know I am, I didn't get to eat on my break," she said.
"I guess," he said as she stood up. "Well, I'm going to sneak down to the kitchens, why don't you change while I'm gone," Liz suggested before leaving.
She returned ten minutes later with just about all the food in the kitchen. "Whoa, Parker...when you said you were hungry, you weren't kidding," he said, laughing.
"Someone's been working out!" she exclaimed, setting the food down on the floor as Max turned around.
He grinned and shrugged. "I try," he said, sitting down next to her on the floor.
"Yeah, I thought you were more of the working out type than the sports type," she said, taking the lid off of the salsa and taking a chip out of the bag of chips.
"Well you know more about me than anyone else in the world," he said, taking a chip and dipping it into the salsa. "So, anything else exciting happening in your life, Parker?"
“Nope, not really,” she said, lying on the floor and eating another chip with salsa.
They were silent for a moment until Liz said, "Where are you and Michael staying?"
"We got some money from mom, and from his grandparents, after they died, so we're renting an apartment out by where I used to live actually," he replied.
"Oh cool," she said. Max smiled down at her and sighed. "I can't believe how much has changed around here...when did your parents turn the shop into a restaurant?" he asked.
"Sophomore year. Catering just wasn't working out, business was getting slow, so they decided to open a hip new restaurant," Liz said, consuming half of the box of Oreos.
"Ah, I see you still have the largest appetite known to man," Max said and Liz giggled.
"Remember when we were little and we sat up really late and ate all of the cake for the Smith's wedding? Dad was sooo pissed at us," she said, grinning.
"Yeah...we were what...8 years old? I can't believe we finished that thing, it was a monster, though I'm sure you ate more than half of it," Max said, laughing as he dug into a bowl of Cheez-its. They spent the next 3 hours talking and reminiscing with each other, and by the end of the night, they were both lying on Liz's bed, almost too full from food to move.
"Too full," Max groaned, sitting up but falling back down onto the bed again. "I think you'll have to roll me off the bed."
"Lazy," Liz said, giggling lightly before slowly sitting up and taking a deep breath, "much better. Ok, I am going to go change while you attempt to sit up. What's all that working out good for if you can't even sit up?"
"Shut up, Parker," he said as Liz grinned and stood up, fishing pajamas out of a drawer and going into the bathroom to get changed.
She came out a few moments later in a tight pink camisole and a pair of blue cotton shorts, rolled down once at the waist.
"I see you managed your way to the floor," she said, smirking as she saw Max lying down on his back on top of his sleeping bag.
She knelt down on the floor next to him, letting out a sigh, "You've changed so much Max, I mean it's in a good way, but you've changed, I'm afraid that I've changed for the worse, not the better like you," she said.
"Are you kidding? How could any change in you be anything buy good?" he whispered, sitting up and putting his arm around her.
"I'm an awful person Max. I lie to my dad, I sneak out at night...I skip class sometimes...I mean I never let it get in the way of my grades, but that doesn't help how guilty I feel sometimes," Liz said, sighing.
"Let's get one thing straight: you are not an awful person," he told her as she laid her head on his shoulder.
"But I am, Max," she said softly.
Max sighed and ran his hand up and down her arm, "Let's get off of this, it's depressing," he said, standing up and helping her to his feet.
"I agree," she said, smiling a little. "I am so, so, so, sooo glad you're back, Max." She threw her arms around him in a tight hug.
He smiled and rested his chin on her shoulder, letting out a long breath and closing his eyes for a second before slowly pulling back and looking at her.
He gazed down into her eyes before taking her chin in his hand, slowly leading her lips to his.
"What are you doing?" she whispered, looking up into his eyes. Max answered by pressing his lips against hers.
They stood there for a moment until Liz pulled away. "Uhm..." she began, her eyes downcast.
"I'm...I'm sorry I shouldn’t have done that," Max whispered, looking away from Liz momentarily.
She bit her lower lip in thought before, placing a hand on his cheek and kissing him softly.
Max closed his eyes, placing both of his hands on her cheeks before kissing her more passionately.
He slid his hands down to her waist, pulling her closer when she pulled away. "I...I have a boyfriend, Max," she said quietly.
"Yeah...yeah I'm sorry Liz...I stepped outside our boundaries," Max said awkwardly, "Why don't we...uhm go to sleep now."
"Good idea," she said, smiling and hugging him again. "Have I told you that I'm really glad you're back?" she asked, pulling away and looking up at him.
"Yeah, yeah you have," he said, grinning.
"Well I am," she said, hugging him again before going over to her bed. "Good night, Max."
"Night Liz," Max replied as she threw a pillow down to him as he got into the sleeping bag.
"I'm really glad you're back," she said.
"Yeah, I think you've mentioned that," Max said, grinning as she turned off the light, both of them slowly falling asleep.

Author's Note: Hey everyone, sorry I was a bit late in updating, so to make up for it, I'm going to post a long chapter for you again, thanks so much for your reviews.
Chapter 5
"Ready to go Mr. Evans?" Liz asked Max as they met up after school the following Monday. Max was going to take her to the Crashdown where she was going to meet Michael.
"I think I am, Miss Parker," he said as she linked arms with him, heading over to his car.
"Hey, Liz!" Kyle exclaimed from behind. Liz turned her head around and smiled at him.
"Hey Kyle, what's up?" she asked as Max helped her into his car.
Kyle gave Max a dirty look before turning back to Liz, "We have plans, or have you forgotten?"
"...Oh my God, that's right...we were going to go to the park...I'm sorry Kyle, but Max was going to take me to meet his brother, Michael today," Liz said.
"Why do you keep blowing me off for this guy? You did it on Saturday and now you're doing it again," Kyle said angrily.
"Kyle!" Liz exclaimed before dragging him away from the car, "That was really embarrassing you know. Max is my best friend. I haven't seen him in 3 years! I've never even MET his brother!"
"Maybe we can do something after my shift...but now...I can't even look at you," she said, glaring at him before walking back over to Max's car.
"Just...don't say anything Max, and drive," she whispered under her breath.
"You got it," he replied, not even looking back at Kyle before starting the car and driving away.
"That was so embarrassing," she moaned, putting her face in her hands, "I'm so sorry."
"Don't worry about it, Liz," he said, glancing over at her before returning his eyes to the road,
"Listen...we need to talk about what happened last night, because I don't want it to get in the way of our friendship, Max," Liz said, glancing over at him as the wind blew in her face.
"I know, same here," he told her. "So we...forget it ever happened?"
"No...why did you kiss me Max?" Liz asked him.
He didn't say anything, concentrating on the road and not looking over at her.
"Max?" she persisted.
"I don't know why Liz...it was like an impulse, I just did it...And I don't regret it...unless it could get in the way of our friendship," Max said.
"You...didn't regret it?" she asked quietly as they pulled up in front of the Crashdown.
"No, Liz. You're my best friend, I can tell you absolutely anything without thinking that you will judge me, I kissed you and it just felt...right Liz, so I don't regret it, but I know it can't go any further, so I would just like it to be buried...I don't want to be the reason why you and Kyle are having relationship problems," Max explained.
She nodded. "I understand, Max...consider it buried," she told him, smiling as they got out of the car.
"Ok, good," he replied, wrapping his arm around her neck and giving her a noogie really quick before they went into the restaurant.
"Lizzie, is that you?" her dad called from the kitchen. "Yeah, and I brought a friend," she called back, grinning over at Max as they sat down at the counter.
"How are you doing Max?" Jeff asked as the sound of an opening door brought Michael into the restaurant a moment later.
"Doin' great, Jeff, how about you?" Max replied as Michael sat down beside him.
"I'm great as well...and I guess this is your brother?" he asked, looking over at Michael and shaking his hand.
"Michael Guerin," Michael said. "It's nice to meet you."
"You too Michael. I'll let you all catch up, see you later boys, and Lizzie you have to study for that AP test tonight, remember," her dad said, pointing the spatula at her as he returned to the kitchen.
Liz laughed and looked over at Michael. "Hey, Michael, I'm Liz...Max has told me all about you," she said, smiling at him.
"Should I be scared?" Michael asked, glancing at Max briefly before giving her a half smile.
"Nah, little ol' Liz here is harmless," Max said, putting his arm around her.
"Hey, I am not little anymore Max, I've worked hard to get as tall as I am now!" Liz exclaimed, laughing a bit, "Let's go to a booth, that way it'll be easier to talk."
They all went over to the corner booth and sat down, Max and Liz on one side and Michael on the other. "So, Michael...I hear you've got a hot date with my friend Maria," she said.
"Oh...right, I'm not usually one to date girls who I've just met, but she wouldn't take no for an answer, so I said what the heck, you know?" Michael replied.
"Well, Maria's great, she really is," Liz told him.
"She's sort of hyper, I don't really know if she's my type, so we'll have to see I guess," Michael said nonchalantly.
Liz gave him a half smile and nodded, looking over at Max who shrugged.
"So...you guys really don't look alike," Liz said to break the silence.
"Different moms," Michael explained.
"Oh," Liz mumbled, staring down at her hands.
"Listen...I've got to get to work...it was nice meeting you Liz," Michael said, smiling at her and standing up.
"Nice meeting you too Michael...we should all hang out some night, see a movie at the drive in or something," Liz suggested.
"Yeah, then afterwards we could all grab an egg cream down at the soc hop," Michael mumbled before leaving.
Liz blinked at him before shaking her head, having no clue what he was talking about, "Uhm, well, you heard the boss, I have to study," she said quietly.
"Ok," Max said as they stood. "I'm sorry about him...he isn't exactly adjusting to the whole small town thing."
"So he hasn't always been the brooding type?" Liz asked.
"Oh, he has...he's just even more brooding now, if that makes any sense," Max said, laughing.
"Yeah, I guess it does. Well, unless you want to watch me study for AP Calculus, I'll see you tomorrow morning for my ride Mr. Evans," Liz said to him before hugging him.
"Bye Liz," he said, kissing her on the cheek before leaving.
She smiled before heading upstairs after grabbing a bag of Fritos, quickly disrobing once in her room and changing into a large t-shirt.
After about an hour of studying, the phone rang. "Hello?" she said, picking it up.
"Liz?" a deep voice asked and she rolled over onto her back, twirling the phone cord around her finger as she debated whether to hang up or not, "Listen...I'm sorry about earlier baby...I won't let it happen again, I promise. Forgive me?" Kyle asked.
"Of course, Kyle...just, please, don't let it happen again," she replied. "Good...so, what are you doing right now?" he asked.
"I'm studying for the AP Calc test," she said, moving the phone to the crook of her neck so that she could write something down.
"Oh well...what if I told you I was on the balcony," he said and she looked up, seeing him at the window.
"Kyle! You can't just go up on my balcony like that! You could've scared me!" Liz exclaimed, though she was laughing as she stood up.
She hung up the phone as did he and she climbed out onto the balcony.
"I like this look on you," Kyle said, laughing as he tugged at the large t-shirt.
She giggled and wrapped her arms around him, leaning in to kiss him.
He met her kiss, making it simple at first, but then increasing the passion, sliding his arms around his waist, "I've missed you, you know," he whispered.
"I've missed you too," she said, smiling and running a hand through his hair.
"I have to go back inside before my dad catches us out here and kills you," Liz said, kissing him once more.
"If you must," he said, sighing before kissing her again. "See you tomorrow."
"Bye," she said before walking back into her room, shutting the window behind her before going back to the books.
~*~
"Max, come be my strong man!" Liz called from the kitchen of the Crashdown where she was helping her dad lift boxes.
"What if I'm too lazy?" Max replied, pulling off his jacket.
"Wouldn't surprise me," she said, smirking as he came into the kitchen,
He grinned at her and picked up a box, following Jeff to where he needed the box. It was November now, and just starting to get chilly.
Fifteen minutes later, they were done and Liz's shift ended. "Wanna go do something?" Max asked her after she changed.
"What do you have in mind?" Liz asked him, looking up at him.
He shrugged and leaned against the wall. "I don't know...how about we go down to the park, just like old times?" he asked.
"Sounds like a plan," Liz said, linking her arm in his and resting her head on his arm.
"I'll be back in a little while, dad!" she called to her father before she and Max left the Crashdown.
"Give me a piggy back ride, Mr. Muscles!" Liz exclaimed, tugging on his shirt and laughing.
"My pleasure, Miss Lazy Butt," he said, grinning as she jumped up on his back.
"So, Mr. Muscles, how are you doing in school?" Liz asked him, resting her chin on his shoulder.
"Pretty good...especially in AP biology," he said, laughing a little.
"Well, that's because you have the best partner in the world!" she exclaimed, giggling. A week after he'd arrived at school, their biology teacher assigned them partners.
Maria had been a bit bummed out at first, having been Liz's partner in everything for the longest time, but Liz assured her that she was still one of her best friends, and there was nothing to worry about.
"This is our stop," he said when they reached the park, abruptly dropping her.
"I'll race you to the swing sets! Loser has to buy dinner!" Liz exclaimed, immediately racing off.
Max grinned and ran after her, easily beating her to the swings. "Man, you run fast!" she exclaimed, plopping onto the swing next to him.
"Well, I have been working out you know," Max said, twisting his swing around and around and then spinning in fast circles as he let go, Liz doing the same.
"God, I haven't been down here in ages," she sighed, leaning her head against the chain on the swing.
"What's been keeping you away?" Max asked her, slowing moving the swing back and forth as the sun began to set.
"School...work...Kyle," she said softly, swinging in time with him.
"Why would Kyle keep you away from the park?" Max asked her softly, glancing over at her, frowning as she sat on the swing.
She shrugged and said, "We're usually at his house or parties or something."
"Ohh," Max replied, just staring off into the distance before suddenly getting up, "May I have this dance Mademoiselle?"
"Dance? But there's no music," she said, smiling softly as he pulled her up off of the swing.
"Of course there is," Max said, taking her hand in his, "Just listen. There are the crickets, and the frogs, and the stars."
She laughed and rested her hand on his shoulder as he slid his arm around her waist, pulling her closer.
"So, Max, have you set your eyes on a special someone?" Liz asked him as they swayed to the sounds of nature.
He shrugged and said, "Oh, not really...still getting the lay of the land."
"Lay of the land? Max you lived here nearly all of your life," she said, raising her eyebrows at him.
"Yeah, but a lot of people have changed in the 3 years that I've been gone," Max told her.
"Hmm? Like who?" she asked.
"Everyone. You to name one of them," Max said, raising his eyebrows at her.
"Yeah, well..." she began, trailing off and frowning.
"What, did I say something wrong?" Max asked, taking her chin in one of his hands and making her look at him.
"No," she said, shaking her head. "I'm sorry...you didn't do anything wrong, Max."
"You sure Liz?" he asked her, "You can tell me absolutely anything missie."
She sighed and shook her head. "Nothing's wrong, Max," she said, though he didn't look convinced.
Max sighed before leaning down and picking up Liz, throwing her over his shoulder, "Max put me down!" she exclaimed, laughing. "Not until you tell me what's wrong!" he replied.
"Ok ok ok, let me doooown, I'll tell you!" she exclaimed and he set her down on the ground. "You remember the night you slept over a few months ago...and I told you that I haven't changed for the better?" she began and he nodded. "Well...it's Kyle that's caused that change...and I don't like it, Max."
"Liz...what has he done?" Max asked her warily.
She swallowed and whispered, "He wants to...take the next step."
"...Liz, are you ready for that?" Max asked her softly, "Is that all? Because that won't change who you are."
She shook her head. "He's wanted to for a while and...I don't know, I'm babbling but I've been keeping it in and I don't want to, Max, I don't," she whispered, tears starting to fill her eyes.
"Shhh, it's alright Liz...it's alright. Just...if he ever...pressures you, just come to me," Max said softly.
She nodded as he slid his arms around her. "Thank you, Max," she whispered.
"No problem at all Liz, I'm here for you," Max whispered, smiling his goofy smile at her.
She laughed and leaned up to kiss his cheek. "I think we should head back...it's getting a little chilly," she said softly.
"Ok," he replied, pulling back and wrapping his arm around her as they made their way back to the Crashdown.
They stopped in front of the entrance to the Crashdown and she turned to him. "Thanks again, Max...I don't know where I'd be without you," she said, hugging him tightly.
"No problem Liz...do you think it would be okay if I crashed here tonight?" Max asked her.
"No problem, come on up," she said, taking his hand as they entered the Crashdown.
"Dad, Max is spending the night," Liz said to her father, "Can I order a pizza for dinner?"
"Sure, honey," he said, smiling up at them. "Hello, Max."
"Hey Jeff," Max replied before following Liz upstairs to her bedroom.
"I've still got a load of studying to do tonight, I hope you're not too bored," she said, grinning after she ordered the pizza.
"I'll find a way to amuse myself I suppose," he said, pulling off his shirt and pants, walking over to her stack of magazines and bending over, Liz admiring him secretly from behind.
He turned around and laughed. "Like what you see, Parker?" he asked.
"Oh yeah, you know it," she replied, laughing, before looking away, blushing lightly.
After their dinner, they stayed up nearly all night talking until Jeff came in at about 3 in the morning, telling them to go to sleep.
Max laughed lightly and got down onto the floor, Liz slipping into her bed, looking up at the ceiling before looking down at him, "You're going to have a backache and you're going to freeze your ass off Max Evans," she told him, "You know my dad doesn't believe in heat, and it's freezing tonight."
"Why doesn't your dad believe in heat again?" he asked her, laughing a little.
"Because we're in New Mexico?" Liz said, laughing as it came out as a question, "Get up here, I won't be responsible for your moaning and groaning in the morning."
"If you insist," he said, standing up and climbing into bed with her, pulling the covers up over both of them.
Liz let out a deep sigh, rolling over onto her stomach and looking at Max, "Night Max," she said quietly.
"Night, Liz," he whispered, smiling at her before turning off the light.
She scooted ever so closer to him, resting her head against his chest as he wrapped his toned arms around her securely.
He kissed her head softly before they both drifted off to sleep.
Author's Note: Hey everyone, sorry I was a bit late in updating, so to make up for it, I'm going to post a long chapter for you
again, thanks so much for your reviews.
Chapter 5
"Ready to go Mr. Evans?" Liz asked Max as they met up after school the following Monday. Max was going to take her to the Crashdown where she was going to meet Michael.
"I think I am, Miss Parker," he said as she linked arms with him, heading over to his car.
"Hey, Liz!" Kyle exclaimed from behind. Liz turned her head around and smiled at him.
"Hey Kyle, what's up?" she asked as Max helped her into his car.
Kyle gave Max a dirty look before turning back to Liz, "We have plans, or have you forgotten?"
"...Oh my God, that's right...we were going to go to the park...I'm sorry Kyle, but Max was going to take me to meet his brother, Michael today," Liz said.
"Why do you keep blowing me off for this guy? You did it on Saturday and now you're doing it again," Kyle said angrily.
"Kyle!" Liz exclaimed before dragging him away from the car, "That was really embarrassing you know. Max is my best friend. I haven't seen him in 3 years! I've never even MET his brother!"
"Maybe we can do something after my shift...but now...I can't even look at you," she said, glaring at him before walking back over to Max's car.
"Just...don't say anything Max, and drive," she whispered under her breath.
"You got it," he replied, not even looking back at Kyle before starting the car and driving away.
"That was so embarrassing," she moaned, putting her face in her hands, "I'm so sorry."
"Don't worry about it, Liz," he said, glancing over at her before returning his eyes to the road,
"Listen...we need to talk about what happened last night, because I don't want it to get in the way of our friendship, Max," Liz said, glancing over at him as the wind blew in her face.
"I know, same here," he told her. "So we...forget it ever happened?"
"No...why did you kiss me Max?" Liz asked him.
He didn't say anything, concentrating on the road and not looking over at her.
"Max?" she persisted.
"I don't know why Liz...it was like an impulse, I just did it...And I don't regret it...unless it could get in the way of our friendship," Max said.
"You...didn't regret it?" she asked quietly as they pulled up in front of the Crashdown.
"No, Liz. You're my best friend, I can tell you absolutely anything without thinking that you will judge me, I kissed you and it just felt...right Liz, so I don't regret it, but I know it can't go any further, so I would just like it to be buried...I don't want to be the reason why you and Kyle are having relationship problems," Max explained.
She nodded. "I understand, Max...consider it buried," she told him, smiling as they got out of the car.
"Ok, good," he replied, wrapping his arm around her neck and giving her a noogie really quick before they went into the restaurant.
"Lizzie, is that you?" her dad called from the kitchen. "Yeah, and I brought a friend," she called back, grinning over at Max as they sat down at the counter.
"How are you doing Max?" Jeff asked as the sound of an opening door brought Michael into the restaurant a moment later.
"Doin' great, Jeff, how about you?" Max replied as Michael sat down beside him.
"I'm great as well...and I guess this is your brother?" he asked, looking over at Michael and shaking his hand.
"Michael Guerin," Michael said. "It's nice to meet you."
"You too Michael. I'll let you all catch up, see you later boys, and Lizzie you have to study for that AP test tonight, remember," her dad said, pointing the spatula at her as he returned to the kitchen.
Liz laughed and looked over at Michael. "Hey, Michael, I'm Liz...Max has told me all about you," she said, smiling at him.
"Should I be scared?" Michael asked, glancing at Max briefly before giving her a half smile.
"Nah, little ol' Liz here is harmless," Max said, putting his arm around her.
"Hey, I am not little anymore Max, I've worked hard to get as tall as I am now!" Liz exclaimed, laughing a bit, "Let's go to a booth, that way it'll be easier to talk."
They all went over to the corner booth and sat down, Max and Liz on one side and Michael on the other. "So, Michael...I hear you've got a hot date with my friend Maria," she said.
"Oh...right, I'm not usually one to date girls who I've just met, but she wouldn't take no for an answer, so I said what the heck, you know?" Michael replied.
"Well, Maria's great, she really is," Liz told him.
"She's sort of hyper, I don't really know if she's my type, so we'll have to see I guess," Michael said nonchalantly.
Liz gave him a half smile and nodded, looking over at Max who shrugged.
"So...you guys really don't look alike," Liz said to break the silence.
"Different moms," Michael explained.
"Oh," Liz mumbled, staring down at her hands.
"Listen...I've got to get to work...it was nice meeting you Liz," Michael said, smiling at her and standing up.
"Nice meeting you too Michael...we should all hang out some night, see a movie at the drive in or something," Liz suggested.
"Yeah, then afterwards we could all grab an egg cream down at the soc hop," Michael mumbled before leaving.
Liz blinked at him before shaking her head, having no clue what he was talking about, "Uhm, well, you heard the boss, I have to study," she said quietly.
"Ok," Max said as they stood. "I'm sorry about him...he isn't exactly adjusting to the whole small town thing."
"So he hasn't always been the brooding type?" Liz asked.
"Oh, he has...he's just even more brooding now, if that makes any sense," Max said, laughing.
"Yeah, I guess it does. Well, unless you want to watch me study for AP Calculus, I'll see you tomorrow morning for my ride Mr. Evans," Liz said to him before hugging him.
"Bye Liz," he said, kissing her on the cheek before leaving.
She smiled before heading upstairs after grabbing a bag of Fritos, quickly disrobing once in her room and changing into a large t-shirt.
After about an hour of studying, the phone rang. "Hello?" she said, picking it up.
"Liz?" a deep voice asked and she rolled over onto her back, twirling the phone cord around her finger as she debated whether to hang up or not, "Listen...I'm sorry about earlier baby...I won't let it happen again, I promise. Forgive me?" Kyle asked.

Chapter 6
Liz woke up as suddenly, something didn't feel right. She slowly cracked open her eyes and looked out beyond Max's broad shoulder, her eyes widening even more as she saw Kyle standing at her window, glaring in.
"Oh my God!" she quietly exclaimed, jumping out of bed and running over to the window as Kyle turned to leave.
"Kyle! Wait! Kyle get back here right now!" Liz exclaimed, jumping out onto her balcony as Max stirred awake, "Kyle let me explain this!"
"You don't have to explain a thing, Liz. I get it. You're in love with Max Evans," he said, turning around and glaring at her.
"No! You have everything wrong Kyle!" she exclaimed, exasperated.
"What then? How do you explain you and a half naked Max Evans sleeping in the same bed?" he exclaimed.
"He stayed the night last night. You know how cold it got, and I didn't want him freezing his ass off in that little Ninja Turtles sleeping bag!" Liz exclaimed, seeing Max trying to sneak out of her room out of the corner of her eye.
Kyle shook his head. "I didn't think you'd stoop that low as to lie to me," he hissed, then turned to leave again.
Liz sighed before turning around and walking back to her bedroom, "Max, wait," she said to him.
"No, Liz...you should go after him," he said quietly, pulling on his jeans and then his t-shirt.
"He can just...I don't care about him very much right now Max, he's being an asshole, and I won't deal with that," Liz told him.
"Ok," he replied, moving a little closer to her. "Do you want me to stay?" he asked her.
"Yes, I do, we don't have school today because it's a teacher work day, I just remembered that when I woke up. Kyle was going to take me shopping or something," Liz said.
"Oh...well...I could take you shopping, if you want," he said, smiling a little.
"You sure? I'm going to be trying on certain unmentionables," Liz said, laughing a bit before going to her dresser and taking out a skirt and t-shirt.
"A chance to see Liz Parker half naked, I'm in!" he exclaimed, laughing as she stuck her tongue out at him and went into the bathroom to get changed.
"Pervert!" she exclaimed through the door, "I'm going to take a shower, so why don't you run home and get a change of clothes."
"Sure, I'll meet you back here in about an hour!" he called before running downstairs.
Liz sighed and jumped into the shower, thinking a minute before filling the tub with bubble bath, figuring she had a while.
~*~
"Hey, you volunteered to take me to the mall, no complaining!!" Liz exclaimed, laughing as Max trudged along beside her, carrying five bags in each hand.
They had met up with Michael and Maria a while back, but those two chose to leave early to…attend to business.
"You never used to shop this much," he groaned, a frown on his face.
"What are you talking about? I've always shopped this much!" Liz exclaimed, giggling.
"No, when you were 8, you couldn't stand shopping, unless we were going to Toys R Us," Max informed her, giving her a crooked smile.
"That was like forever ago, Max!" she said, letting out a hearty laugh. "Oooh! A photo booth! C'mon!" she exclaimed, dragging him over to the small photo booth she spotted.
"What about the bags?" he asked her, and she rolled her eyes, pulling him in and squashing all of the bags at their feet.
She pulled a dollar out of her pocket and slid it into the dollar slot.
"I must inform you, I AM the master of photo booths," Liz said and she pressed buttons on the screen.
"Is that so?" he asked, smiling as he sat down on the small metal stool, pulling her onto his lap.
"Ok, first pose," Liz said, sticking her tongue out at the camera.
He laughed and did the same. Next, they both had huge goofy grins on their faces, nearly bursting into laughter.
"What now?" Liz asked him, looking back at her friend as the camera told them they had 3 seconds until the next picture.
He suddenly leaned forward and kissed her softly as the camera flashed, saving the moment forever.
Liz closed her eyes as a tingle shot down her spine with the contact of their lips. They remained like that for a moment until she pulled back, Max opening his eyes at the same time she did.
"Max..." she whispered before he leaned forward and kissed her again.
The camera went off once more as they continued to kiss within the refined space. She moved her hands up to frame his face as he slowly slid his tongue into her mouth.
She let the smallest of moans escape from her mouth as the camera took its last picture, telling them that it was printing the pictures out, but neither heard it.
After another moment, they broke apart, both slightly out of breath. They just sat there, faces barely inches apart, gazing into each other's eyes.
A noise from outside the photo booth snapped them out of it, Liz blushing a little as she cleared her throat and got up.
They both stepped out of the booth, not meeting each other's eyes. They were both silent until Liz muttered, "Oh my God! Someone walked off with the pictures!"
"Must've liked what they saw," he said, grinning down at her as she nudged him in the side with her elbow.
She smiled and blushed. "What are we gonna do? This can't keep happening," she said quietly as they started to walk.
"We have two options the way I look at it," he told her, holding open the door for her as they reached the mall exit.
"And those would be?" She asked him, ducking under his arm as she went outside.
"We could...give in to temptation and be together...or..." he said, trailing off.
"Or...make sure it doesn't happen anymore," Liz said, sighing, "I'm sorry Max, but I think that I have to take the latter...it would be too weird, I mean you're my best friend, and I don't want to do anything that could ruin our friendship...make it awkward in anyway...and me and Kyle, we're sort of still together...you know?"
Max grew silent and nodded. "Yeah I...I agree," he said quietly.
Liz halted and turned to him, "Thank you Max," she said, softly, before helping him put her bags into the trunk of his car.
"I wonder who took the pictures," Max mused as they drove back to the Crashdown.
"Probably some perverted fat, bald man in his mid life crisis," Liz said, shrugging.
Max laughed and nodded. "Yeah, maybe," he said, pulling up in front of the Crashdown. "You wanna come in and grab a bite?" she asked him.
"Nah, I have to get Michael, he went to this thing and he needs a ride home," Max said as he helped her take out her bags.
"Ok," she said, hugging him once all of her bags were out of the trunk. "I had fun today...I'll see you tomorrow at school," she said.
"Bye Liz," he said, hugging her, just a bit awkwardly, before getting back in his car.
~*~
"Max...you've been sitting there since school ended," Liz said, sliding into the booth across from him.
"I'm studying, can't you tell?" he asked her, raising an eyebrow as he grinned.
She laughed and said, "Well, there's an extra piece of pie on the counter if you want it, I'm gonna head upstairs, just lock up when you leave, ok?"
"I think I'll skip the pie...see you tomorrow in Bio," Max said, closing his book before standing up, going over to the exit.
"See ya," Liz called, running upstairs.
Max smiled at her retreating form before heading down the alley, which was a shortcut to get back to his place.
He heard footsteps behind him and turned around, seeing a couple of guys he recognized from school walking behind him.
"Evans?" the taller one asked him.
"Yeah..." Max said, trailing off as two more guys came out of nowhere on the opposite side of him.
Sensing that this wasn't anything good, he immediately started running in the opposite direction.
One of the guys grabbed him and whispered dangerously, "You stay away from her."
"I...I don't know what you're talking about," Max said as they through him roughly against the wall.
The guy who had been talking suddenly punched him in the face before the other joined in.
"Recognize this?" he hissed, pulling the pictures from the photo booth out of his varsity jacket, shoving it in Max's face.
Max paled and didn't say anything as one of the guys kicked him in the stomach.
"STAY. AWAY. FROM. HER," He repeated, kicking him once for every word before tearing the picture in half and throwing it down on the ground, next to Max as they walked away.

Chapter 6
Liz woke up as suddenly, something didn't feel right. She slowly cracked open her eyes and looked out beyond Max's broad shoulder, her eyes widening even more as she saw Kyle standing at her window, glaring in.
"Oh my God!" she quietly exclaimed, jumping out of bed and running over to the window as Kyle turned to leave.
"Kyle! Wait! Kyle get back here right now!" Liz exclaimed, jumping out onto her balcony as Max stirred awake, "Kyle let me explain this!"
"You don't have to explain a thing, Liz. I get it. You're in love with Max Evans," he said, turning around and glaring at her.
"No! You have everything wrong Kyle!" she exclaimed, exasperated.
"What then? How do you explain you and a half naked Max Evans sleeping in the same bed?" he exclaimed.
"He stayed the night last night. You know how cold it got, and I didn't want him freezing his ass off in that little Ninja Turtles sleeping bag!" Liz exclaimed, seeing Max trying to sneak out of her room out of the corner of her eye.
Kyle shook his head. "I didn't think you'd stoop that low as to lie to me," he hissed, then turned to leave again.
Liz sighed before turning around and walking back to her bedroom, "Max, wait," she said to him.
"No, Liz...you should go after him," he said quietly, pulling on his jeans and then his t-shirt.
"He can just...I don't care about him very much right now Max, he's being an asshole, and I won't deal with that," Liz told him.
"Ok," he replied, moving a little closer to her. "Do you want me to stay?" he asked her.
"Yes, I do, we don't have school today because it's a teacher work day, I just remembered that when I woke up. Kyle was going to take me shopping or something," Liz said.
"Oh...well...I could take you shopping, if you want," he said, smiling a little.
"You sure? I'm going to be trying on certain unmentionables," Liz said, laughing a bit before going to her dresser and taking out a skirt and t-shirt.
"A chance to see Liz Parker half naked, I'm in!" he exclaimed, laughing as she stuck her tongue out at him and went into the bathroom to get changed.
"Pervert!" she exclaimed through the door, "I'm going to take a shower, so why don't you run home and get a change of clothes."
"Sure, I'll meet you back here in about an hour!" he called before running downstairs.
Liz sighed and jumped into the shower, thinking a minute before filling the tub with bubble bath, figuring she had a while.
~*~
"Hey, you volunteered to take me to the mall, no complaining!!" Liz exclaimed, laughing as Max trudged along beside her, carrying five bags in each hand.
They had met up with Michael and Maria a while back, but those two chose to leave early to…attend to business.
"You never used to shop this much," he groaned, a frown on his face.
"What are you talking about? I've always shopped this much!" Liz exclaimed, giggling.
"No, when you were 8, you couldn't stand shopping, unless we were going to Toys R Us," Max informed her, giving her a crooked smile.
"That was like forever ago, Max!" she said, letting out a hearty laugh. "Oooh! A photo booth! C'mon!" she exclaimed, dragging him over to the small photo booth she spotted.
"What about the bags?" he asked her, and she rolled her eyes, pulling him in and squashing all of the bags at their feet.
She pulled a dollar out of her pocket and slid it into the dollar slot.
"I must inform you, I AM the master of photo booths," Liz said and she pressed buttons on the screen.
"Is that so?" he asked, smiling as he sat down on the small metal stool, pulling her onto his lap.
"Ok, first pose," Liz said, sticking her tongue out at the camera.
He laughed and did the same. Next, they both had huge goofy grins on their faces, nearly bursting into laughter.
"What now?" Liz asked him, looking back at her friend as the camera told them they had 3 seconds until the next picture.
He suddenly leaned forward and kissed her softly as the camera flashed, saving the moment forever.
Liz closed her eyes as a tingle shot down her spine with the contact of their lips. They remained like that for a moment until she pulled back, Max opening his eyes at the same time she did.
"Max..." she whispered before he leaned forward and kissed her again.
The camera went off once more as they continued to kiss within the refined space. She moved her hands up to frame his face as he slowly slid his tongue into her mouth.
She let the smallest of moans escape from her mouth as the camera took its last picture, telling them that it was printing the pictures out, but neither heard it.
After another moment, they broke apart, both slightly out of breath. They just sat there, faces barely inches apart, gazing into each other's eyes.
A noise from outside the photo booth snapped them out of it, Liz blushing a little as she cleared her throat and got up.
They both stepped out of the booth, not meeting each other's eyes. They were both silent until Liz muttered, "Oh my God! Someone walked off with the pictures!"
"Must've liked what they saw," he said, grinning down at her as she nudged him in the side with her elbow.
She smiled and blushed. "What are we gonna do? This can't keep happening," she said quietly as they started to walk.
"We have two options the way I look at it," he told her, holding open the door for her as they reached the mall exit.
"And those would be?" She asked him, ducking under his arm as she went outside.
"We could...give in to temptation and be together...or..." he said, trailing off.
"Or...make sure it doesn't happen anymore," Liz said, sighing, "I'm sorry Max, but I think that I have to take the latter...it would be too weird, I mean you're my best friend, and I don't want to do anything that could ruin our friendship...make it awkward in anyway...and me and Kyle, we're sort of still together...you know?"
Max grew silent and nodded. "Yeah I...I agree," he said quietly.
Liz halted and turned to him, "Thank you Max," she said, softly, before helping him put her bags into the trunk of his car.
"I wonder who took the pictures," Max mused as they drove back to the Crashdown.
"Probably some perverted fat, bald man in his mid life crisis," Liz said, shrugging.
Max laughed and nodded. "Yeah, maybe," he said, pulling up in front of the Crashdown. "You wanna come in and grab a bite?" she asked him.

Chapter 7
"Oh my God, Max, what happened to you?!" Liz exclaimed as Max walked into Bio the next day.
"...Fell off my bike," Max quickly lied.
"Max, that looks really bad...maybe you should see the nurse," Liz said, concerned.
"No, no, I'm fine Liz," he snapped, sitting down beside her.
"Ok..." she mumbled, slightly taken aback when he snapped at her.
"...I'm sorry, I just...don't want to talk about it, alright?" Max said to her as he noticed her uneasiness.
"All right," she said softly as the teacher walked in and class began.
"Hey, do you want to hang out later, after my shift?" Liz asked Max as Biology ended.
"I can't I've...gotta study," Max mumbled before hurrying off to his locker.
"Max!" Liz exclaimed, sighing before walking off to her locker, Kyle waiting for her there.
"Hey Kyle...what are you doing here?" she asked as she opened her locker.
"Just waiting for my girlfriend...I wanted to apologize, Liz," he told her.
"Why didn't you believe me?" she asked, glancing over at him as she took some books out of her locker.
"I was...blinded by my jealousy, I don't know Liz, all I know is that I'm sorry," he said softly, placing his hand on her arm.
She sighed and smiled as she closed her locker. "Thank you, Kyle," she said softly, kissing him softly.
"No problem Liz. So, do you have any plans after your shift?" he asked her.
"Nope, I was planning on catching up on some studying...but if you had something else in mind..." she said, grinning.
"I think I do," he said, grinning right back at her before taking her to her second class of the day.
~*~
Later that night, while Liz was cleaning up, the door to the Crashdown opened. "Sorry, we're closed," she called, looking up and seeing...Max.
"Max, what's up?" she asked, setting down the broom and quickly walking over to him.
"I want to apologize for snapping at you today...and then avoiding you the rest of the day," he said softly.
"It's alright, what was on your mind?" she asked him, locking the main door and then leading him into the back of the restaurant as she put away the broom.
He was silent for a moment before he began, "I didn't get these injuries from falling off my bike, Liz."
"...How did you get them Max?" she asked, almost hesitantly, poking her head out of the room where she changed out of her uniform.
"Well...last night...when I was walking home...a couple guys cornered me in the alley," he told her, his voice nearly inaudible.
She immediately stopped what she was doing, walking out of the room in a pair of sweatpants, her shirt unbuttoned, but Liz not caring, "Max...who were they?" she asked, gazing up into his amber eyes, which held a mixture of hurt, hate, despair...longing.
"A couple of Kyle's friends," he told her softly and her hand flew to her mouth. "They...they had the pictures of us in the booth."
"Oh my God! Do you...do you think they showed it to him?" she asked him, pulling him to his feet and hugging him.
He shook his head. "I don't think so...they just told me to stay away...from you," he said softly.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
"It's ok...it's not your fault," he replied though he slightly pushed her away. "But I think...I think we should...stay away from each other."
"...Max, you don't mean that," Liz said quietly, “do you?”
Max sighed and nodded. "They'll tell Kyle if we don't," he said softly.
"Max, what they did was so...so wrong, and they had absolutely no right to do it! You shouldn't let people who have no say in your life run it," Liz told him, "I'm going to tell Kyle tomorrow what they did."
"Ok...if that's what you want," he replied. "...Can I crash here tonight? I don't really feel like going home."
"Of course you can Max. You're my best friend, now and forever. I'm going to go take a shower, make yourself comfortable, get some food, do whatever," Liz told him softly.
"Ok, thanks," he replied, hugging her before heading upstairs.
Liz tidied up everything else downstairs before walking upstairs to her bedroom, opening the door before even thinking.
"Oh!" she exclaimed, covering her eyes as she saw Max about to take off his boxers.
"Uhm yeah, I'm not looking I'm just walking to the bathroom," she said, her hand pressing firmly against her eyes as she made her way blindly to the bathroom.
She let out a nervous laugh as she bumped into him before running toward what she thought was the bathroom, but accidentally running into the wall.
"Liz, it's alright, I have my clothes on," Max said, laughing lightly, "you can open your eyes.”
She opened her eyes, blushing profusely. "Sorry," she mumbled before going into the bathroom.
Max chuckled slightly as he heard the shower turn on a moment later.
He pulled out his sleeping bag and laid down, closing his eyes and almost instantly falling asleep.
Liz came out of the bathroom a half an hour later, smirking as she saw him sleeping, before going to her dresser and taking out some nightclothes.
She quickly got changed and climbed into bed, turning out the light.
"Liz?" Max asked a moment later, making her jump slightly; she thought he had been out.
"Max, you scared me...I thought you were asleep," she said, laughing a little.
"Yeah, you sort of woke me up," Max replied, sitting up.
"Oh, I'm sorry," she said, smiling softly.
"It's no problem," Max replied, resting his chin on the side of her bed and looking up at her.
"I'm really sorry about what happened, Max," she whispered, motioning for him to sit up on the bed with her. "I feel like it's all my fault."
"No, it's not, it's just your...boyfriend's friends are a group of idiots. And to top that, they're brainless jock idiots," Max said, raising his eyebrows over at her.
She smiled and nodded. "I just can't believe they would do something like that," she mumbled, looking up at him. She lifted her hand up to his face, softly fingering the bruises on his cheek.
He winced slightly and she quickly drew back her hand, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize that it still hurt," Liz told him, leaning her head back against the wall.
"No...no, it's all right," he replied. She leaned her head against his shoulder as he stroked her damp hair.
"I'm so t-tired," she whispered, yawning and closing her eyes.
"Just go to sleep Liz," Max said soothingly, resting his cheek against her hair, inhaling its scent, smelling strongly of kiwi.
She nodded and yawned again. "You want to sleep up here with me tonight?" she asked softly.
"It's a lot more comfortable up here I suppose," Max told her. She smiled and snuggled closer to him, resting her head against his chest.
Max shifted so that he could pull the covers over them, Liz closing her eyes and letting the sound of Max's heartbeat calm her down.
He wrapped his arms securely around her and closed his eyes, both of them falling into a deep sleep.
~*~
Liz woke up in the middle of the night, frowning as she felt something poking against her that wasn't before.
She felt herself blush as she realized that Max was very hard. She closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep but she couldn't.
He must've been dreaming about something, and Liz blushed as the thought crossed her mind that maybe...it was her.
She saw him smile in his sleep and whisper, "Oh, Liz."
She blushed, feeling her heart accelerating as she realized that he was dreaming about her.
She looked at him and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, and before she knew what she was doing, she slid her hand down his chest and into his boxers.
He let out a loud moan, still asleep as she tentatively took him in her hand.
She slowly started to stroke him, not noticing when he opened his eyes, closing them immediately as he realized that he wasn't dreaming anymore.
Liz's breathing started coming out in pants as she heard Max moan, still in his dream, or as she thought.
"Oh God, Liz," he moaned, sneaking a peak at her and becoming even harder.
Liz bit her lip softly as she sped up her pace, her heartbeat increasing as his moans became more frequent.
She let out a soft moan as he came into her hand, looking up and seeing he was...awake.
"Oh...uhm..." she said, blushing profusely before glancing down at her hand, still in his boxers.
She slowly took her hand out of his boxers, staring down at his cum which was all over her hand.
She blushed before looking back up at him, not sure what to do or say.
He gazed intensely down at her, the room completely silent except for the sound of their breathing.
She looked away as she could hardly take it anymore, Max's gaze too intense for her. She began to slowly sit up so she could go wash Max's cum off of her hand.
He reached out and softly grabbed her arm, gently pulling her back down on the bed. She looked over at him before leaning down, her lips softly brushing against his.
Her hand moved to the side of her bed, where she wiped it off of her hand before lying on top of Max while kissing him.
He slid his arms around her waist, pressing her body against his.
"Max...are you sure about this?" Liz whispered as her hands spread out against his chest.
He nodded. "Yes...completely, totally, entirely sure," he whispered, sliding his hands up her back.
She leaned down and kissed him, softly, tenderly, just taking time to get used to him.
His kisses were so much different than Kyle's. Kyle's were hard, rough, and fast but Max's kisses...they were new each time, tender and loving.
"Max..." Liz whispered, sitting up on her knees and pulling Max up as well. "Yeah?" he whispered.
"Are you a...I mean...have you ever done this before?" she asked quietly.
He looked up at her, his eyes locking with hers, "Almost, but no...no I haven't," he told her softly.
"Oh..." she whispered before kissing him softly.
"And...you?" he whispered in her ear, nibbling softly on it.
She shook her head as a chill ran up her spine. "Me...me neither," she whispered.
"I...I guess that mean's we'll be each other's firsts then," Max said, laughing a little nervously.
She laughed and stroked his cheek softly. "I'm glad it's you," she said softly.
Max smiled at her before kissing her gently, rolling the both of them over so that he was hovering above her, his hands making his way up her shirt.
She moaned softly into his mouth, lifting her arms above her head and breaking their kiss for a second as he lifted her shirt over her head.
Close your eyes
Let me touch you now
Let me give you something that is real
She wanted to cover herself at first, Max's eyes on her so intensely, but then his eyes went back to her eyes and she felt braver.
They slowly removed the rest of each other's clothes. "God, you're so beautiful," he mumbled, gazing down at her.
She blushed, but only slightly as his hand came to her night shorts, his fingers caressing the smooth skin of her stomach before pulling them down, his eyes never leaving hers. She leaned up, confidently kissing him as her hands did away with the last piece of clothing on his body.
He took her leg and hoisted it up around his waist, still gazing into her eyes. She kissed him again and again, a shiver running through her body as she felt his erection pressed against her opening.
Close the door
Leave your fears behind
Let me give you what you're giving me
"Max...just, be gentle," she whispered and he nodded, taking a deep breath.
"I love you Liz," he replied to her, kissing her one last time, this one lingering longer as he slowly guided himself into her, slowly.
She bit her lip a little as he entered her, just now remembering that it was going to hurt.
As if sensing her hesitation, Max halted, letting her get used to him before slowly moving in until he reached her barrier, the point of no return.
You are the only thing
That makes me want to live at all
When I am with you
She let out a soft moan, her eyes fluttering closed as he continued to move inside of her.
She winced slightly, the pain stinging for a few seconds as he broke through her barrier, but after the initial pain, it slowly ebbed away, along with her fear, and she began to rock against him.
He gazed down into her eyes and whispered, "Am...Am I doing it right?" though it came out as more of a moan.
"Mmm...I...I think so," she moaned in response, her arms clinging almost desperately around him as their bodies moved together in perfect harmony, a natural chemistry connecting them, body and mind.
There’s no reason to pretend
That when I am with you I feel flames again
Just put me inside you
"I...I think I'm close," he whispered in her ear a moment later, his breath hot against her skin.
"Don't...don't stop," she whispered right back, kissing him passionately, her tongue sliding almost naturally into the crevice of his mouth.
He continued to thrust in and out of her until he couldn't hold on anymore and let out a deep moan as he climaxed.
A deep shudder ran through her body, a good one, as she felt him come inside of her, smiling softly. She knew that she wouldn't necessarily orgasm her first time, and that was alright, she was just glad that Max had.
Just put me inside you
I would never ever leave
Just put me inside you
I would never ever leave
You
He rolled over so that he was beside her, breathing heavily.
"So," he panted, out of breath as he pulled her flush against him, kissing her forehead, his hand gently cupping the back of her head, "...that was sex, huh?"
She smiled and nodded. "Yeah," she whispered.
"Did I...did I hurt you?" he asked softly.
She placed a small kiss on his muscular chest, "A little bit at the beginning...but nothing to make me regret what just happened," she said, letting out a sigh of content before shutting her eyes, glad that she had asked her mom to be put on the pill a few months ago, so that it was that much more real now with Max.
"I love you, Liz," he whispered, kissing her tenderly. "And I'm glad that my first time was with you."
"Me too Max...me too," she whispered, before drifting off to sleep.

"No...no, it's all right," he replied. She leaned her head against his shoulder as he stroked her damp hair.
"I'm so t-tired," she whispered, yawning and closing her eyes.
"Just go to sleep Liz," Max said soothingly, resting his cheek against her hair, inhaling its scent, smelling strongly of kiwi.
She nodded and yawned again. "You want to sleep up here with me tonight?" she asked softly.
"It's a lot more comfortable up here I suppose," Max told her. She smiled and snuggled closer to him, resting her head against his chest.
Max shifted so that he could pull the covers over them, Liz closing her eyes and letting the sound of Max's heartbeat calm her down.
He wrapped his arms securely around her and closed his eyes, both of them falling into a deep sleep.
~*~
Liz woke up in the middle of the night, frowning as she felt something poking against her that wasn't before.
She felt herself blush as she realized that Max was very hard. She closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep but she couldn't.
He must've been dreaming about something, and Liz blushed as the thought crossed her mind that maybe...it was her.
She saw him smile in his sleep and whisper, "Oh, Liz."
She blushed, feeling her heart accelerating as she realized that he was dreaming about her.
She looked at him and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, and before she knew what she was doing, she slid her hand down his chest and into his boxers.
He let out a loud moan, still asleep as she tentatively took him in her hand.
She slowly started to stroke him, not noticing when he opened his eyes, closing them immediately as he realized that he wasn't dreaming anymore.
Liz's breathing started coming out in pants as she heard Max moan, still in his dream, or as she thought.
"Oh God, Liz," he moaned, sneaking a peak at her and becoming even harder.
Liz bit her lip softly as she sped up her pace, her heartbeat increasing as his moans became more frequent.
She let out a soft moan as he came into her hand, looking up and seeing he was...awake.
"Oh...uhm..." she said, blushing profusely before glancing down at her hand, still in his boxers.
She slowly took her hand out of his boxers, staring down at his cum which was all over her hand.
She blushed before looking back up at him, not sure what to do or say.
He gazed intensely down at her, the room completely silent except for the sound of their breathing.
She looked away as she could hardly take it anymore, Max's gaze too intense for her. She began to slowly sit up so she could go wash Max's cum off of her hand.
He reached out and softly grabbed her arm, gently pulling her back down on the bed. She looked over at him before leaning down, her lips softly brushing against his.
Her hand moved to the side of her bed, where she wiped it off of her hand before lying on top of Max while kissing him.
He slid his arms around her waist, pressing her body against his.
"Max...are you sure about this?" Liz whispered as her hands spread out against his chest.
He nodded. "Yes...completely, totally, entirely sure," he whispered, sliding his hands up her back.
She leaned down and kissed him, softly, tenderly, just taking time to get used to him.
His kisses were so much different than Kyle's. Kyle's were hard, rough, and fast but Max's kisses...they were new each time, tender and loving.
"Max..." Liz whispered, sitting up on her knees and pulling Max up as well. "Yeah?" he whispered.
"Are you a...I mean...have you ever done this before?" she asked quietly.
He looked up at her, his eyes locking with hers, "Almost, but no...no I haven't," he told her softly.
"Oh..." she whispered before kissing him softly.
"And...you?" he whispered in her ear, nibbling softly on it.
She shook her head as a chill ran up her spine. "Me...me neither," she whispered.
"I...I guess that mean's we'll be each other's firsts then," Max said, laughing a little nervously.
She laughed and stroked his cheek softly. "I'm glad it's you," she said softly.
Max smiled at her before kissing her gently, rolling the both of them over so that he was hovering above her, his hands making his way up her shirt.
She moaned softly into his mouth, lifting her arms above her head and breaking their kiss for a second as he lifted her shirt over her head.
Close your eyes
Let me touch you now
Let me give you something that is real
She wanted to cover herself at first, Max's eyes on her so intensely, but then his eyes went back to her eyes and she felt braver.
They slowly removed the rest of each other's clothes. "God, you're so beautiful," he mumbled, gazing down at her.
She blushed, but only slightly as his hand came to her night shorts, his fingers caressing the smooth skin of her stomach before pulling them down, his eyes never leaving hers. She leaned up, confidently kissing him as her hands did away with the last piece of clothing on his body.
He took her leg and hoisted it up around his waist, still gazing into her eyes. She kissed him again and again, a shiver running through her body as she felt his erection pressed against her opening.
Close the door
Leave your fears behind
Let me give you what you're giving me
"Max...just, be gentle," she whispered and he nodded, taking a deep breath.
"I love you Liz," he replied to her, kissing her one last time, this one lingering longer as he slowly guided himself into her, slowly.
She bit her lip a little as he entered her, just now remembering that it was going to hurt.
As if sensing her hesitation, Max halted, letting her get used to him before slowly moving in until he reached her barrier, the point of no return.
You are the only thing
That makes me want to live at all
When I am with you
She let out a soft moan, her eyes fluttering closed as he continued to move inside of her.
She winced slightly, the pain stinging for a few seconds as he broke through her barrier, but after the initial pain, it slowly ebbed away, along with her fear, and she began to rock against him.
He gazed down into her eyes and whispered, "Am...Am I doing it right?" though it came out as more of a moan.
"Mmm...I...I think so," she moaned in response, her arms clinging almost desperately around him as their bodies moved together in perfect harmony, a natural chemistry connecting them, body and mind.
There’s no reason to pretend
That when I am with you I feel flames again
Just put me inside you
"I...I think I'm close," he whispered in her ear a moment later, his breath hot against her skin.
"Don't...don't stop," she whispered right back, kissing him passionately, her tongue sliding almost naturally into the crevice of his mouth.
He continued to thrust in and out of her until he couldn't hold on anymore and let out a deep moan as he climaxed.
A deep shudder ran through her body, a good one, as she felt him come inside of her, smiling softly. She knew that she wouldn't necessarily orgasm her first time, and that was alright, she was just glad that Max had.
Just put me inside you
I would never ever leave
Just put me inside you
I would never ever leave
You
He rolled over so that he was beside her, breathing heavily.
"So," he panted, out of breath as he pulled her flush against him, kissing her forehead, his hand gently cupping the back of her head, "...that was sex, huh?"
She smiled and nodded. "Yeah," she whispered.
"Did I...did I hurt you?" he asked softly.
She placed a small kiss on his muscular chest, "A little bit at the beginning...but nothing to make me regret what just happened," she said, letting out a sigh of content before shutting her eyes, glad that she had asked her mom to be put on the pill a few months ago, so that it was that much more real now with Max.
"I love you, Liz," he whispered, kissing her tenderly. "And I'm glad that my first time was with you."
"Me too Max...me too," she whispered, before drifting off to sleep.

Disclaimer: We own nothing
Author's Note: Thanks so much for your reviews, and as for that thing with Liz supposed to meet Kyle...yeah an error on our part, lol, we forgot about that when writing, so I explained that in here for a second, but anyways, we hope you like this chap!!
Chapter 8
"There he is...I'd better go talk to him," Liz said quietly to Max as they walked down the hall the next day. She saw Kyle waiting by her locker.
"Are you going to tell him?" Max asked her, feeling very nervous as he glanced over at the quarterback.
She nodded hesitantly. "I have to, Max," she said softly.
"Ok, I'll just...I'll see you in Biology, ok?" he asked her, pausing in the crowded hallways as they approached her locker.
She nodded and reached for his hand, squeezing it before walking over to Kyle.
"Liz, before you say anything...we need to talk," he said, pulling her over to a spot where it wasn't as crowded.
"Oh God," she said quietly to herself, certain that he found out about what had happened between her and Max.
"I found out about what my friends did Liz...and I'm sorry, I had nothing at all to do with that," Kyle told her.
"...Did they tell you why they did it?" Liz asked him quietly.
"No, I wouldn't let them," he told her, sighing.
"Oh," she replied softly. "Well, what your friends did was terrible! How can you be friends with people like that??"
"Liz, they've been my friends since I was little. I don't question your friends...don't question mine," Kyle told her.
She sighed and nodded. "I'm sorry, but they still shouldn’t have done it! Max could press charges!" she said.
“I know, trust me, I talked to them about it, but I don’t want to talk about them Liz. I’m sorry. Oh, and I’m sorry, I forgot about us hanging out after school yesterday until like 10:00,” Kyle said apologetically.
“It’s alright…I had forgotten about it myself to tell you the truth,” Liz said.
"So, can I walk you to class?" Kyle asked her, his hands still in his pockets.
"Sure," she said, extending her hand for him to take. She didn't know why, but she just couldn't tell him what had happened between her and Max.
She knew that she was only going to end up hurting herself, and Max...and Kyle, but she couldn't help but feel that for right now...right now everything was fine, right now she didn't have to hurt anyone...
...except herself.
~*~
"So, how'd it go with Kyle?" Max asked as he sat down next to Liz in Biology.
"It went...well," Liz said slowly, hoping her lie wasn't too evident, to her ears though, it was.
"...You didn't tell him, did you?" he asked her after a moment, his voice soft and full of hurt.
"Max...I...he apologized and I...I couldn't," Liz whispered, her eyes transfixed on the microscope on the table in front of her.
He sat there in silence, swallowing the lump in his throat. He then abruptly stood up and stormed out of the room.
"Max!" she called half-heartedly after him as their teacher came into the room, unfazed by Max leaving the classroom.
For a moment, she thought of following him, but the shock of what had happened kept her in place, her eyes filled with tears, gazing at the door as it swung shut.
~*~
"Chica, you've been silent your entire shift. This is so, so, unlike you, don't even get me started," Maria said to Liz as she swept the floor at around 6 that night.
"Have I? Oh, I'm sorry...I'm just distracted, that's all," Liz mumbled and Maria walked up to her, taking the broom out of her hands.
“Ok, what's wrong?" she asked.
"There is absolutely nothing wrong Maria, I promise," Liz said, resting her hands on the top of the broom and looking at her.
"Come on, Liz, don't lie to me," Maria said. "Since when have you had to lie to me?"
"Since never Maria. But I'm not lying...I'm just evading the truth," Liz mumbled under her breath, taking to sweeping furiously at the floor as she saw Max enter the restaurant with Michael.
Maria smiled and said, "We're not done here," before walking over to Michael.
Liz sighed, pushing her hair out of her eyes before standing up, stretching her sore back before walking to the back room to put the broom away.
She came back out a minute later, gasping in surprise as she came face to face with Max. "Max...you scared me," she whispered.
"When's your break?" he asked her, backing up slightly, but his eyes boring into her own.
"I get off at 7:30," she told him, averting her eyes from his.
"Meet me on your balcony at 7:45," he told her before turning back around as if nothing had happened.
A minute later, he and Michael left and Liz just continued to stare at the ground as Maria walked back over to her. "What was that about?" she asked.
"It was about...it was about nothing," Liz said, shaking her head softly before going over to refill a man's coffee.
All throughout her shift, Liz kept eyeing the clock, waiting for her shift to be over. At exactly 7:30, she disappeared into the back room and changed before heading upstairs.
Checking her appearance once more in the mirror, not knowing exactly why, she stepped out onto her balcony, wrapping her arms around herself to stay warm.
She looked down at her watch and sighed. 7:44. “Come on, Max, I'm cold out here," she mumbled to herself, sitting down.
She looked up at the stars overhead, picking out a few easy to spot constellations before she heard footsteps, and then someone quickly ascending her ladder.
She tore her eyes away from the sky and saw Max standing before her. She stood, their eyes meeting immediately.
"We. Need to talk," he simply said.
"I know," she replied. "I'm so sorry but...I couldn't tell him, Max. I love him."
"Then I guess you should've slept with him," Max said, somewhat coldly. "How could you do that? I never would have thought you could do something so...cold."
"Max, it isn't like that..." Liz said, her hands falling to her sides as she tried to think of what to say.
"Then what's it like, Liz?" he asked.
"I...don't have the answer to that," she said, sighing, "I love you Max, I really do, and I have absolutely no regrets about what happened, but I have this...well I feel responsible to Kyle, we've been together a long time."
He moved closer to her and whispered, "We can't go on like this, Liz."
She pouted slightly and closed the space between them, her head resting in the nook of his shoulder as she took deep breaths.
"You have to choose, Liz," he said softly, slowly wrapping his arms around her. "Not only are you hurting yourself...you're hurting me and Kyle as well."
"I know," she whispered, "I know Max."
~*~
"Kyle...we need to talk," Liz told him. It had been about a month since that night on her balcony and she had barely spoken to Max since.
"What is it baby?" he asked her, snaking his arm around her waist.
"Somewhere more private," she whispered, taking his hand and pulling him into the janitor's closet.
"The janitor's closet, oh la la," Kyle said, chuckling slightly, leaning down to kiss her.
"No, Kyle," she said, gently pushing him away. "Don't say anything; I need to get this out."
"Liz, what is it?" Kyle asked her, though obviously not taking this seriously, because as she spoke he slowly slid his hand up her shirt.
"Kyle! Kyle stop," she exclaimed, shoving his hand away and suddenly, he got a whole lot more serious.
She crossed her arms against her chest as she took in a deep breath, "We can't be together anymore," she said abruptly.
“What? Why??" Kyle exclaimed.
"I don't love you anymore Kyle," she told him, her eyes never leaving his as she thought of the words that she knew she had to say next.
"Why don't you love me anymore?" he asked. "What happened? Am I doing something wrong?"
"Kyle...you have been ever since we started to really get serious," Liz said, shoving her face in her hands, not believing that she was actually saying this.
"You've known I'm not ready for...for what you want, and you keep pushing," she said, her voice muffled by her hands.
"Is that what this is about? Liz we...we can wait, I really don't care," Kyle said.
"No...that's not all," she said softly, now looking up at him. "There's...someone else."
"S...someone else?" Kyle stuttered, blinking slowly as if he was dreaming all of this.
She slowly nodded and said, "There has been...for a while.”
"...Who is it?" he asked her, his eyes colder than she had ever seen them.
"Max Evans," she whispered, so soft, she wasn't sure if he had heard her.
They were silent for a moment before she heard him mutter something under his breath, storming out of the janitor's closet.
She let out a small sob as the door slammed shut, a few tears falling from her eyes.
Quickly wiping them off of her face she left the closet, looking down the hallway both ways, but not seeing Kyle anywhere.
She jumped a little as the bell rang, announcing the end of class. Soon, the hallways were full of people, including Max.
She took one look at him before running down the hallway in the opposite direction, straight out to the parking lot and to her car, quickly getting in.
She started the car when Maria startled her by getting in. "I can't BELIEVE you've been seeing Max and you haven't told me!!!" she exclaimed.
"What....?" Liz asked, backing out of the parking lot regardless.
"I saw Kyle...looked like he was going nuts...he was talking but all I heard were the words Liz, Max and that whore," Maria told her.
"He...he told everyone! Oh my GOD I'm never going to be able to go back to school!" Liz exclaimed, running a red light in her frenzy.
"Liz, calm down, you're driving like a maniac," Maria said. "Don't worry, we'll figure this out."
"No, we won't Maria, because my life is over! What was I thinking! Max hates me, he's never going to want to be with me now, and what would people say if we did get together!" Liz cried.
"Doesn't look like he hates you too much," Maria said as they pulled up in front of the Crashdown, Max and Michael waiting for them outside.
"He's ready to scream at me...I just know he is. I'm going to get out of the car and he's going to walk up to me and scream at me!" Liz exclaimed.
"Only one way to find out," Maria said, getting up out of the car, Liz soon following.
Maria walked up to Michael, wrapping her arms around his neck and standing up on her tippy toes to kiss him. They hadn't talked much lately, but it didn't take a genius to tell that they were serious. Maria told Liz last month that they had made love to each other.
Max slowly walked up to her, neither of them saying anything. Finally, Max whispered, "So, you told him, huh?”
"Yeah. He wasn't happy," Liz told him, hiking her backpack up on her shoulders a bit more as she stared at the pavement.
"I know...I've heard," he said softly, attempting a smile but it fell off his face as soon as it came.
"I have to do my homework," Liz muttered under her breath. She had thought that the moment she confessed to Kyle, she'd feel so much better, and she'd be able to go right to Max, but for some reason she still felt weird.
"Wait...so that's it? We can't...be together?" he asked quietly, gently grabbing her arm as she started to walk away.
"I didn't think you'd want to be. You barely talked to me at all last month, you know," Liz said.
"That's because I didn't think there was a chance, but now..." he began, taking her chin in his hand and gently forcing her to look at him.
"But now what?" she asked him.
"But now..." he said softly, framing her face with his hands and kissing her softly.
She didn't know how or why, but suddenly it felt as if she had to be close to him, her body leaning up and into him as they kissed in front of the Crashdown.
She slowly slid her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. It felt so right to be standing there, kissing him.
"Take this upstairs?" Max whispered in her ear, his hands lying gently on the curve of her hips.
"Dad's up there...plus I have my shift...can you spend the night tonight?" she asked softly.
"Of course. I have to go home, get some things...meet you back here at 9?" Max asked her, their foreheads touching.
She nodded, leaning forward and kissing him passionately. After a moment, he pulled away, kissing her once more on the lips before leaving.
A smile stayed put on her face for the rest of her shift, Maria glancing slyly over at her once and again.
"Got a hot date tonight, Miss Parker?" she asked, grinning at her. Liz blushed and didn't say anything, taking an order over to table 6.
"I see, don't tell your best friend anything," she commented, bumping her hip against Liz as she walked past.
Liz let out a laugh as she glanced over at the clock and sighed. It read 8:30. This shift was lasting longer than ever.
"Go on up, I'll cover for you," Maria said, grinning knowingly at her, "But tomorrow night, you are mine and we are going to stay up all night and you are going to tell me EVERYTHING."
Liz laughed and nodded, hugging Maria quickly before running upstairs, calling out behind her, "I owe you one!" before disappearing from view.

"No, we won't Maria, because my life is over! What was I thinking! Max hates me, he's never going to want to be with me now, and what would people say if we did get together!" Liz cried.
"Doesn't look like he hates you too much," Maria said as they pulled up in front of the Crashdown, Max and Michael waiting for them outside.
"He's ready to scream at me...I just know he is. I'm going to get out of the car and he's going to walk up to me and scream at me!" Liz exclaimed.
"Only one way to find out," Maria said, getting up out of the car, Liz soon following.
Maria walked up to Michael, wrapping her arms around his neck and standing up on her tippy toes to kiss him. They hadn't talked much lately, but it didn't take a genius to tell that they were serious. Maria told Liz last month that they had made love to each other.
Max slowly walked up to her, neither of them saying anything. Finally, Max whispered, "So, you told him, huh?”
"Yeah. He wasn't happy," Liz told him, hiking her backpack up on her shoulders a bit more as she stared at the pavement.
"I know...I've heard," he said softly, attempting a smile but it fell off his face as soon as it came.
"I have to do my homework," Liz muttered under her breath. She had thought that the moment she confessed to Kyle, she'd feel so much better, and she'd be able to go right to Max, but for some reason she still felt weird.
"Wait...so that's it? We can't...be together?" he asked quietly, gently grabbing her arm as she started to walk away.
"I didn't think you'd want to be. You barely talked to me at all last month, you know," Liz said.
"That's because I didn't think there was a chance, but now..." he began, taking her chin in his hand and gently forcing her to look at him.
"But now what?" she asked him.
"But now..." he said softly, framing her face with his hands and kissing her softly.
She didn't know how or why, but suddenly it felt as if she had to be close to him, her body leaning up and into him as they kissed in front of the Crashdown.
She slowly slid her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. It felt so right to be standing there, kissing him.
"Take this upstairs?" Max whispered in her ear, his hands lying gently on the curve of her hips.
"Dad's up there...plus I have my shift...can you spend the night tonight?" she asked softly.
"Of course. I have to go home, get some things...meet you back here at 9?" Max asked her, their foreheads touching.
She nodded, leaning forward and kissing him passionately. After a moment, he pulled away, kissing her once more on the lips before leaving.
A smile stayed put on her face for the rest of her shift, Maria glancing slyly over at her once and again.
"Got a hot date tonight, Miss Parker?" she asked, grinning at her. Liz blushed and didn't say anything, taking an order over to table 6.
"I see, don't tell your best friend anything," she commented, bumping her hip against Liz as she walked past.
Liz let out a laugh as she glanced over at the clock and sighed. It read 8:30. This shift was lasting longer than ever.
"Go on up, I'll cover for you," Maria said, grinning knowingly at her, "But tomorrow night, you are mine and we are going to stay up all night and you are going to tell me EVERYTHING."
Liz laughed and nodded, hugging Maria quickly before running upstairs, calling out behind her, "I owe you one!" before disappearing from view.

Chapter 9
Liz pulled her hair over her shoulder as she lay back on her bed, freshly showered and idly paging through a magazine when there was a knock on her window.
She smiled and sat up, shoving the magazine quickly under her pillow before getting up and locking her door, just in case, before walking over to the window and letting Max in, who had a bag slung over his shoulder.
"Hey," he said softly, grinning at her and setting his bag down on the floor.
"What's in the bag?" Liz asked him, closing her blinds and locking her window.
He shrugged and said, "Just...stuff."
"Stuff, eh?" Liz asked him, walking over to him and sliding her hands up his shirt, "Oops, sorry, my hands are a little...cold."
"I don't mind," he said softly, placing a hand on her cheek and leaning down to kiss her.
She met his lips eagerly, quickly undoing all of the buttons on his shirt and sliding it off of him, her arms moving around his neck.
"You don't waste any time, do you?" he asked, grinning and picking her up, carrying her over to the bed.
He set her down gently and she lifted her arms over her head so he could slide her tank top off, his hands clasping with hers once the shirt was off.
She moaned and kissed him fiercely, letting go of his hands and slowly removing his pants.
He moaned softly, placing his hands on the bed by her head, as her hand brushed up against his manhood, already stiff.
He felt something beneath her pillow and pulled back a bit, his brow furrowing a bit as he pulled the magazine out from under her pillow.
"...Whoa," he breathed, his eyes getting 5 times bigger than they were, Liz biting her lip nervously.
"Yeah....you weren't supposed to find that Max," she whispered, laughing a little.
"Playgirl?" he said in disbelief, his eyes moving from the magazine to her.
"...It's Maria's?" she said, it coming out as more of a question. He shook his head and stood up, reaching for his pants.
"Max! Wait!" She whined, pouting, still topless as he got up, "Don't gooooo."
"So my body's not good enough for you, is that it?" he asked quietly.
"No! That's not it Max!" she quickly said, sitting up, "I love your body."
"How am I supposed to believe you?" he asked, trying to keep his eyes on her face but the kept wandering down to her chest.
"Max, this is purely innocent, trust me. It's not like you've never looked at porn before Max, and don't lie and say you haven't. You and Michael are boys, you live by yourself in an apartment," Liz said, taking the magazine and throwing it on the floor, "If you feel that bad about it, I won't look at it anymore...on one condition."
"And what's that?" he asked as she moved closer to him.
"Well, you're going to have to satisfy my urges for this magazine," she said, grinning at him.
He appeared to be thinking about it for a moment before he grinned and said, "Well, if you insist."
She shrieked as he pounced on her, kissing her intensely. She grinned and threw her arms around his neck, kissing him deeper.
He let the animal inside of him loose, attacking her neck with his lips as she clung to him, moaning deeply, his hands massaging her breasts vigorously.
He gently pushed her back onto the bed, grinning as he crawled up her body, kissing her lips then moving down to her neck.
"Oh Max...oh god that feels so good," Liz moaned.
He groaned and slid her shorts down her legs, kissing his way down her body.
"You have a belly button piercing?" he asked her as he reached her belly. He didn't remember her having one.
"I've had it for about a year," she told him. "You like it?"
"Very much," he said, grinning and kissing her belly button before getting back on his knees, "how do you think I'd look with one?"
She made a face and laughed. "What, you don't think I'd be hot?" he asked, grinning and wiggling his eyebrows at her.
"You know what would be hotter than you with a belly button piercing? You, taking your boxers off, right now," Liz replied, sitting up, already naked.
"As you wish," he said softly, kissing her intensely before taking off his boxers, very slowly.
"So...I still don't really know what I'm doing," Liz said slowly once he was naked, suddenly more nervous.
"Well, we'll teach each other Liz," Max whispered. She smiled and placed a hand on his cheek, gazing into his eyes as she kissed him.
He smiled back down at her, his amber eyes shining as they kissed passionately.
She brought her hands up to his face, deepening the kiss as he slid his arms around her waist.
"You make me want to do things...I have never wanted to do before," he whispered, his voice full of passion as he came up for air a moment later.
She let out a soft moan and softly caressed his cheek, leaning in and whispering, "I love you, Max."
"I love you too Liz, more than you could ever know. Ever since that day in the hallway...when I didn't know who you were, I knew that I was going to be with you, one way or another...you turning out to be who you are just made it even better. It's hard for me to trust my heart to just anyone Liz...but you're different, I trust my life with you," Max whispered.
"I trust more than my life with you, Max...I trust my heart...my soul...my body," she replied quietly, kissing him softly for each thing.
"God don't let this be a dream," Max groaned as she slid her way down his body and to his rock hard cock.
"If it is, I don't want to wake up," she whispered, grinning up at him.
"Ahhh, ohhhh god that feels good," he moaned, his breaths coming out in rapid pants as she slowly started to lick him.
"You like that?" she breathed and he silently nodded.
She kissed the tip of it, looking up at him before taking him in her mouth, hoping she was doing the right thing.
Encouraged by his moans, she took him even deeper into her mouth, his moans filling the air.
She sped up her pace, sucking on him harder as he cried out in ecstasy, calling out her name over and over again.
"Liz! Are you in there! I need to talk to you!" Maria exclaimed from outside the door, banging on it.
Max came into her mouth as the knock on the door startled them, Liz swallowing it tentatively, trying not to wince as she wiped her mouth and looked at Max, who was lying back on the bed, breathing heavily.
"I'll...I'll be out in a minute," Liz called as Maria continued to bang on the door.
"Go wait for me in the bathroom, and then when she leaves we can finish this," Liz whispered to Max, kissing him softly.
He nodded and pulled on his boxers, going into the bathroom as Liz pulled on her clothes and unlocked the door.
"Maria what is sooooo important that you had to come up here and bang on my door?" Liz asked as Maria pushed her way in the room.
Maria said nothing but sat down on the bed, shoving a heavy book at Liz. "Maria, what's this all about??" she asked, opening the book to where the page was marked.
"What...what's this? Do you have bowel indigestion or something?" Liz asked, looking at the different sicknesses listed on the page.
"I think I might be...pregnant," Maria said nervously and Liz looked up from the book.
"Pregnant? You...you can't be pregnant! Don't you use...protection?" Liz asked, her voice that of a whisper as her eyes darted over to the bathroom door to let Maria know Max was in there.
"Of course I do!" Maria exclaimed quietly as Liz sat down next to her. "But look...breast tenderness, sensitive to smell...strange cravings," Maria scanned down the page, letting out a frustrated sigh. "I've answered yes to all of these!"
"You eat normally, at least from what I've seen so far..." Liz said, looking up at Maria, who had taken out a Snicker’s from her purse, "Never mind. You hate caramel."
Maria groaned but opened it, ripping the Snickers open and taking a bite. "What am I gonna do, Liz!" she exclaimed.
"Have you thought about your options? Having this baby isn't the only way to go...you could adopt...or get an...abortion," Liz said quietly.
"No, no way am I killing anybody!" Maria exclaimed, her mouth half full with the Snickers. "And Michael...how am I gonna tell Michael..."
"Wait, tell Michael what?" Max asked, coming out of the bathroom suddenly, "I'm sorry but you didn't exactly try to speak quietly.
"Maria thinks she's pregnant," Liz said quietly, putting a comforting arm around Maria's shoulders.
"Wow...I'm going to be an uncle, how cool!" Max said, grinning down at Maria, "It'll be alright, if I know Michael...sometimes I may not be sure, but most of the time I am, he will be ecstatic."
Maria smiled weakly and took a bite of her Snickers. "Thanks, Max," she said softly.
"No problem. I'm going to go get some food, be back in a bit," Max said, his hand closing over Liz's shoulder affectionately before leaving the room.
Once he was gone, Maria turned to Liz, grinning. "Ok girl, spill," she said.
"About what? There's nothing to spill about," Liz said, blushing. Maria sighed and shook her head before jumping off the bed and walking over to Max's bag, picking it up.
"Nothing, eh?" Maria asked, raising her eyebrows as she pulled out a box of condoms.
"Oh...he said it was stuff," Liz said, blushing slightly, "what else is in there?"
"Nothing interesting...clothes...some movies," Maria continued, shrugging.
"Are you sure? Check the pockets, I'll lock the door," Liz said, running over and locking her door.
Maria did so and started to laugh. "Man, are you in for a night tonight," she said.
"What, what's in there?" Liz asked anxiously, scurrying back over to Maria.
"Hey, what are you two doing in there?" came Max's voice from the hall.
"Max, you forgot the whipped cream!" Liz exclaimed quickly and she heard Max sigh before going back downstairs, as Maria giggled, pulling emptying the bag on the bed.
"Oh my God," Liz said quietly.
"What exactly is this?" Liz asked, picking up something and showing it to Maria, "And this, and this?"
Suddenly the door opened and Liz gasped. "Max, how did you get in here?" she asked. "Your dad's always kept a key to all the rooms under the vase in the hall," Max explained.
"Oh..." Liz said, smiling at him as she quickly turned around, Maria stuffing everything back into his bag.
"Were you two snooping in my bag?" he asked, smirking.
"No...no we weren't," Maria said too quickly.
"God, Max, why would you think that?" Liz said just as quickly.
"Because there is a DVD you forgot to put back into the bag just lying there, forgotten, on the bed," Max said, setting down the food, a mischievous grin on his face.
"Well...we...we..." Liz stammered.
"Well...you...you..." Max stuttered, imitating Liz as he walked closer to them.
"We were just waiting for you to get back and it...fell open?" she said, though it came out more like a question than a statement.
"Yeah...sure," he said slowly, reaching behind Maria and grabbing his bag, "You really want to know what all of this stuff is?"
"I'll be going now...Talk to you tomorrow, Elizabeth," Maria said, giggling and grabbing her book before leaving.
"So, what is in your bag Max? I found a couple of...unidentifiable objects in there, besides these, and these, and these," she said, pulling out the DVDs, his clothes, and the condoms, a blush creeping on her face as she removed those.
He laughed and said, "You're cute when you blush."
"Thank you, but that's beside the point, tell me what these things are or you're so sleeping on the floor tonight," Liz said, raising her eyebrow at Max. He chuckled softly before opening his mouth to tell her.
That was when her cell phone started ringing and Liz groaned, picking it up and groaning even louder. "Kyle," she muttered.
"Oh," Max simply said, pushing everything back in his bag and setting it down before going into the bathroom, stripping before getting in the shower.
Before she knew what she was doing, Liz answered the phone. "What do you want, Kyle??" she asked.
"Liz...baby I'm sawry, I wasstooooopid," Kyle slurred onto the phone.
"God Kyle...you're drunk," Liz said in disgust.
"No I'm not," he said, hiccupping as Liz groaned.
"I don't need this...don't call again," she spat, angrily hanging up the phone.
Closing her eyes, she let out a breath, massaging her temples with her fingers as she tried to calm down.
She was about to get up and join Max in the shower when the phone rang again.
"Kyle WHAT do you want?" Liz demanded, silence followed her voice until a moment later. "Uhm...Liz?" It was Alex.
"ALEX!" she nearly screamed, a smile growing on her face. "I've missed you! When did you get back!!!!"
"In about 2 weeks. I was just calling to get my fill on the latest Roswellian gossip...obviously you and Kyle are on the skits from that greeting," Alex said, chuckling. He was in Germany at the moment, in the foreign exchange student program, a German boy living with Alex's parents, who was a complete pervert.
"I don't want to get into that now...how's Germany? Did you take lots of pictures??" Liz asked as Max came out of the bathroom, still soaking wet and wearing only a towel.
He dried behind his ears, smiling softly at Liz and she smiled back at him as Alex informed her about Germany.
"...And yes, I have plenty of pictures," he was saying as Max pulled off the towel and walked over to her, getting behind her and kissing her neck.
"Max..." she moaned, frustrated a bit as she tried to get him off of her, though only giving it a half hearted try.
"Max? Who's Max?" Alex asked as Max slid his hands up under Liz's shirt.
"Uhm...Max Evans, I know I told you about him Alex," Liz said quickly, clearing her throat.
"Yeah, your friend who moved to Seattle, right?" Alex asked.
"Yeah...well he's back, with his brother, and he's over right now," Liz told Alex.
"Oh well...I take it he's the reason you and Kyle are on the skits?" Alex asked and Liz laughed.
"You...could say that," she said, almost squeaking as Max slid his hands under the hem of her shorts.
"Ok then...I'll let you go...see you soon," Alex said.
"You too Alex," she said, smiling as she spoke before hanging up.
"Alex?" Max asked, his lips returning to her neck.
"My other best friend, he's in Germany, and you were very inappropriate," Liz scolded gently, smirking as Max didn't take his hands out of her shorts.
"I'm sorry, baby," he mumbled, pressing his lips against her neck as he slid her shorts down her legs.
"I bet you are," she whispered, feeling his erection pressing up against her.
"Can I help it if I want you all to myself?" he asked, continuing to kiss her neck as he slid his hands into her panties.
"I guess not...you were sorta pissed when you jumped into the shower though," Liz reminded him.
"I was kinda hoping you would have joined me," he admitted, sliding a finger into her.
"Mmmm," she moaned softly, biting her lower lip, "well I thought it would be better if I answered then, than have him calling back over and over again."
"Yeah, you're right," he replied, sliding another finger into her as she moaned.
Max slowly led Liz back to the bed, taking his finger out of her and sliding her panties down her legs just as someone knocked on the door, "Lizzie, you in there?" It was her father.
She sighed and called, "Yeah, daddy...I'm studying, what's wrong?"
"I'm just wondering. Is Max in there too?" he asked her and she stood up quickly, pulling all of her clothes on as Max pulled on a t-shirt and his boxers.
"Yeah...we're cramming for this big test," she called, giving Max an apologetic smile.
She walked to the door, opening and unlocking it as Max quickly pulled out a few books, spreading them out on the bed along with a notebook and a pencil.
"Hey there, Max," Jeff said and Max smiled, waving.
"Hi, Jeff," he said. Jeff smiled and turned to Liz.
"Anyway, Lizzie, Kyle's downstairs looking for you," he told her.
"Daddy, could you tell Kyle it's way too late to be visiting, and I really don't want to talk to him right now?" Liz said stiffly. She hadn't told her father that they had broken up yet.
"Of course...Max, I assume you'll be spending the night?" he asked.
"Yes, if it's alright by you, of course, Jeff," Max said, sitting cross-legged on the bed to hide his massive erection.
"Of course it is, you're welcome whenever you want...good night, Lizzie," Jeff said, leaning down and kissing her on the cheek before leaving.
Liz sighed and shut and locked her door, leaning against it as she looked at Max, "You so aren't hiding it all that well. I don't know how my dad didn't see it," she said, giggling.
"Thanks, that makes me feel a whole lot better," Max said, shoving all the books onto the floor.
"Hey...are you alright?" she asked him softly, moving towards him.
"I just...it's embarrassing to have a hard-on in front of your dad," he said as she sat down on the bed.
"I'm sorry baby, are you mad at me?" she asked him, smoothing some of his hair away from his forehead softly.
"Me...mad at you? Not possible," he told her, placing his hand behind her head and kissing her deeply.
"Good. Because I don't know what I'd do if you were. Now...let's pick up where we left off, if it's possible," Liz said, giggling and pulling her clothes off as Max reached to his backpack.
"Oh, it's possible," he told her, grinning.
"You never told me what was in that bag, you know," she said, peeking in it as he took off his shirt.
He grinned and revealed handcuffs and a blindfold. "Wanna play a game, Lizzie Wizzie?" he asked mischeviously.
"My goodness Max, and you're still a rookie too!" she said, giggling as he took her hands, cuffing them to her bedposts.
"They're Michael's," Max said, shrugging.
"...Michael's...oh my god ew! He probably used these on Maria! Gross!" Liz shrieked.
"We could stop if you want," he told her, starting to shield her eyes with the blindfold.
"No...just don't mention them again, okay?" Liz asked, laughing a little.
"No problem," he said, kissing her softly before her world was consumed in darkness.
She closed her eyes, figuring there was no use straining them when she wouldn't be able to see anything anyways.
"Oooh, what are you going to do with me, Max?" she asked, her voice high and breathy.
"You'll just have to wait and...well, not see," he said, his voice coming from across the room.
"What are you doing over there...come back," she called, pouting her lips.
"You'll be glad, just be patient my love," he said, his footsteps letting Liz know he was on his way back, she gasped a second later as something cold was spread on her body.
"What...what is that?" she asked.
"Vanilla ice cream, I know it's your favorite, and it just happens to be my favorite. Vanilla ice cream a la Liz," he said, his tongue licking it off of her stomach moments later.
"Ohh," she moaned, biting her lip as she felt the coldness on her clit, his tongue there a second later.
"God, that feels so good," she moaned and Max looked up.
"My name's Max, but I can go with God," he said, laughing lightly.
She laughed, though it came out as more of a moan as he continued to lick down there.
She tugged at her handcuffs, but they stayed put, making her moan in both frustration and pleasure as suddenly she felt something vibrate against her, causing her to scream out in the first orgasm of her life, Max's mouth covering her own to muffle the sound.
"Oh...oh Max," she moaned as he continued to kiss her.
Her breaths were now released in short pants, the vibrating not going away and causing her to reach her climax over and over again, Max's fingers aiding the toy.
"Max...I need you," she moaned, breathing heavily.
"As you wish," he replied, the vibrating suddenly gone and replaced with Max's hard cock.
"Ohh...oh God...Max, hold me," she breathed as they moved in rhythm with each other.
He did as she asked, holding her body close to his as he pounded into her over and over and over again, glad that she was on the pill, because he had forgotten to put on a condom, and he didn't really want to pull out.
"Mmm....oh...OH GOD!" she screamed as an orgasm ripped through her body.
Max crushed his mouth to hers in a passionate kiss, letting his mouth muffle her screams as she orgasmed, himself moaning out loudly a moment later as he reached his release.
He rolled over so that he was next to her, reaching up to release the handcuffs and slip the blindfold from her eyes.
She blinked a few times, breathing heavily still, before rolling on top of him, kissing him intensely and grinding her pelvis into his, grinning as he rose back to life almost instantly. She quickly snatched the handcuffs, cuffing him to the bed and blindfolding him before rolling over to go to sleep, "Nighty night Max," she said, smiling.
"Heyyyy," he said, pouting as she continued to smile.
"Hey yourself Mister. I'm exhausted, and need my beauty sleep," she said, cuddling up to him for good measure.
"Uncuff me," he said, continuing to pout.
"Nuh-uh, I like you like this. Night Max," she said, smiling and closing her eyes.
"Liiiiiiizzz, what if your dad catches us like this??" he asked.
"Door's locked, you have the key, he won't," She mumbled.
"At least cover me...I'm cold," he said quietly.
"Ok," she said and then rolled on top of him.
"This I can work with," he said, grinning and kissing her softly.
"Go to sleep," she whispered, resting her head on his chest and pulling the covers over both of them before falling asleep.

"...It's Maria's?" she said, it coming out as more of a question. He shook his head and stood up, reaching for his pants.
"Max! Wait!" She whined, pouting, still topless as he got up, "Don't gooooo."
"So my body's not good enough for you, is that it?" he asked quietly.
"No! That's not it Max!" she quickly said, sitting up, "I love your body."
"How am I supposed to believe you?" he asked, trying to keep his eyes on her face but the kept wandering down to her chest.
"Max, this is purely innocent, trust me. It's not like you've never looked at porn before Max, and don't lie and say you haven't. You and Michael are boys, you live by yourself in an apartment," Liz said, taking the magazine and throwing it on the floor, "If you feel that bad about it, I won't look at it anymore...on one condition."
"And what's that?" he asked as she moved closer to him.
"Well, you're going to have to satisfy my urges for this magazine," she said, grinning at him.
He appeared to be thinking about it for a moment before he grinned and said, "Well, if you insist."

She made a face and laughed. "What, you don't think I'd be hot?" he asked, grinning and wiggling his eyebrows at her.
"You know what would be hotter than you with a belly button piercing? You, taking your boxers off, right now," Liz replied, sitting up, already naked.
"As you wish," he said softly, kissing her intensely before taking off his boxers, very slowly.
"So...I still don't really know what I'm doing," Liz said slowly once he was naked, suddenly more nervous.
"Well, we'll teach each other Liz," Max whispered. She smiled and placed a hand on his cheek, gazing into his eyes as she kissed him.
He smiled back down at her, his amber eyes shining as they kissed passionately.
She brought her hands up to his face, deepening the kiss as he slid his arms around her waist.
"You make me want to do things...I have never wanted to do before," he whispered, his voice full of passion as he came up for air a moment later.

She kissed the tip of it, looking up at him before taking him in her mouth, hoping she was doing the right thing.
Encouraged by his moans, she took him even deeper into her mouth, his moans filling the air.
She sped up her pace, sucking on him harder as he cried out in ecstasy, calling out her name over and over again.
"Liz! Are you in there! I need to talk to you!" Maria exclaimed from outside the door, banging on it.
Max came into her mouth as the knock on the door startled them, Liz swallowing it tentatively, trying not to wince as she wiped her mouth and looked at Max, who was lying back on the bed, breathing heavily.
"I'll...I'll be out in a minute," Liz called as Maria continued to bang on the door.
"Go wait for me in the bathroom, and then when she leaves we can finish this," Liz whispered to Max, kissing him softly.
He nodded and pulled on his boxers, going into the bathroom as Liz pulled on her clothes and unlocked the door.
"Maria what is sooooo important that you had to come up here and bang on my door?" Liz asked as Maria pushed her way in the room.
Maria said nothing but sat down on the bed, shoving a heavy book at Liz. "Maria, what's this all about??" she asked, opening the book to where the page was marked.
"What...what's this? Do you have bowel indigestion or something?" Liz asked, looking at the different sicknesses listed on the page.
"I think I might be...pregnant," Maria said nervously and Liz looked up from the book.
"Pregnant? You...you can't be pregnant! Don't you use...protection?" Liz asked, her voice that of a whisper as her eyes darted over to the bathroom door to let Maria know Max was in there.
"Of course I do!" Maria exclaimed quietly as Liz sat down next to her. "But look...breast tenderness, sensitive to smell...strange cravings," Maria scanned down the page, letting out a frustrated sigh. "I've answered yes to all of these!"
"You eat normally, at least from what I've seen so far..." Liz said, looking up at Maria, who had taken out a Snicker’s from her purse, "Never mind. You hate caramel."
Maria groaned but opened it, ripping the Snickers open and taking a bite. "What am I gonna do, Liz!" she exclaimed.
"Have you thought about your options? Having this baby isn't the only way to go...you could adopt...or get an...abortion," Liz said quietly.
"No, no way am I killing anybody!" Maria exclaimed, her mouth half full with the Snickers. "And Michael...how am I gonna tell Michael..."
"Wait, tell Michael what?" Max asked, coming out of the bathroom suddenly, "I'm sorry but you didn't exactly try to speak quietly.
"Maria thinks she's pregnant," Liz said quietly, putting a comforting arm around Maria's shoulders.
"Wow...I'm going to be an uncle, how cool!" Max said, grinning down at Maria, "It'll be alright, if I know Michael...sometimes I may not be sure, but most of the time I am, he will be ecstatic."
Maria smiled weakly and took a bite of her Snickers. "Thanks, Max," she said softly.
"No problem. I'm going to go get some food, be back in a bit," Max said, his hand closing over Liz's shoulder affectionately before leaving the room.
Once he was gone, Maria turned to Liz, grinning. "Ok girl, spill," she said.
"About what? There's nothing to spill about," Liz said, blushing. Maria sighed and shook her head before jumping off the bed and walking over to Max's bag, picking it up.
"Nothing, eh?" Maria asked, raising her eyebrows as she pulled out a box of condoms.
"Oh...he said it was stuff," Liz said, blushing slightly, "what else is in there?"
"Nothing interesting...clothes...some movies," Maria continued, shrugging.
"Are you sure? Check the pockets, I'll lock the door," Liz said, running over and locking her door.
Maria did so and started to laugh. "Man, are you in for a night tonight," she said.
"What, what's in there?" Liz asked anxiously, scurrying back over to Maria.
"Hey, what are you two doing in there?" came Max's voice from the hall.
"Max, you forgot the whipped cream!" Liz exclaimed quickly and she heard Max sigh before going back downstairs, as Maria giggled, pulling emptying the bag on the bed.
"Oh my God," Liz said quietly.
"What exactly is this?" Liz asked, picking up something and showing it to Maria, "And this, and this?"
Suddenly the door opened and Liz gasped. "Max, how did you get in here?" she asked. "Your dad's always kept a key to all the rooms under the vase in the hall," Max explained.
"Oh..." Liz said, smiling at him as she quickly turned around, Maria stuffing everything back into his bag.
"Were you two snooping in my bag?" he asked, smirking.
"No...no we weren't," Maria said too quickly.
"God, Max, why would you think that?" Liz said just as quickly.
"Because there is a DVD you forgot to put back into the bag just lying there, forgotten, on the bed," Max said, setting down the food, a mischievous grin on his face.
"Well...we...we..." Liz stammered.
"Well...you...you..." Max stuttered, imitating Liz as he walked closer to them.
"We were just waiting for you to get back and it...fell open?" she said, though it came out more like a question than a statement.
"Yeah...sure," he said slowly, reaching behind Maria and grabbing his bag, "You really want to know what all of this stuff is?"
"I'll be going now...Talk to you tomorrow, Elizabeth," Maria said, giggling and grabbing her book before leaving.
"So, what is in your bag Max? I found a couple of...unidentifiable objects in there, besides these, and these, and these," she said, pulling out the DVDs, his clothes, and the condoms, a blush creeping on her face as she removed those.
He laughed and said, "You're cute when you blush."
"Thank you, but that's beside the point, tell me what these things are or you're so sleeping on the floor tonight," Liz said, raising her eyebrow at Max. He chuckled softly before opening his mouth to tell her.
That was when her cell phone started ringing and Liz groaned, picking it up and groaning even louder. "Kyle," she muttered.
"Oh," Max simply said, pushing everything back in his bag and setting it down before going into the bathroom, stripping before getting in the shower.
Before she knew what she was doing, Liz answered the phone. "What do you want, Kyle??" she asked.
"Liz...baby I'm sawry, I wasstooooopid," Kyle slurred onto the phone.
"God Kyle...you're drunk," Liz said in disgust.
"No I'm not," he said, hiccupping as Liz groaned.
"I don't need this...don't call again," she spat, angrily hanging up the phone.
Closing her eyes, she let out a breath, massaging her temples with her fingers as she tried to calm down.
She was about to get up and join Max in the shower when the phone rang again.
"Kyle WHAT do you want?" Liz demanded, silence followed her voice until a moment later. "Uhm...Liz?" It was Alex.
"ALEX!" she nearly screamed, a smile growing on her face. "I've missed you! When did you get back!!!!"
"In about 2 weeks. I was just calling to get my fill on the latest Roswellian gossip...obviously you and Kyle are on the skits from that greeting," Alex said, chuckling. He was in Germany at the moment, in the foreign exchange student program, a German boy living with Alex's parents, who was a complete pervert.
"I don't want to get into that now...how's Germany? Did you take lots of pictures??" Liz asked as Max came out of the bathroom, still soaking wet and wearing only a towel.
He dried behind his ears, smiling softly at Liz and she smiled back at him as Alex informed her about Germany.
"...And yes, I have plenty of pictures," he was saying as Max pulled off the towel and walked over to her, getting behind her and kissing her neck.
"Max..." she moaned, frustrated a bit as she tried to get him off of her, though only giving it a half hearted try.
"Max? Who's Max?" Alex asked as Max slid his hands up under Liz's shirt.
"Uhm...Max Evans, I know I told you about him Alex," Liz said quickly, clearing her throat.
"Yeah, your friend who moved to Seattle, right?" Alex asked.
"Yeah...well he's back, with his brother, and he's over right now," Liz told Alex.
"Oh well...I take it he's the reason you and Kyle are on the skits?" Alex asked and Liz laughed.
"You...could say that," she said, almost squeaking as Max slid his hands under the hem of her shorts.
"Ok then...I'll let you go...see you soon," Alex said.
"You too Alex," she said, smiling as she spoke before hanging up.
"Alex?" Max asked, his lips returning to her neck.
"My other best friend, he's in Germany, and you were very inappropriate," Liz scolded gently, smirking as Max didn't take his hands out of her shorts.
"I'm sorry, baby," he mumbled, pressing his lips against her neck as he slid her shorts down her legs.
"I bet you are," she whispered, feeling his erection pressing up against her.
"Can I help it if I want you all to myself?" he asked, continuing to kiss her neck as he slid his hands into her panties.
"I guess not...you were sorta pissed when you jumped into the shower though," Liz reminded him.
"I was kinda hoping you would have joined me," he admitted, sliding a finger into her.
"Mmmm," she moaned softly, biting her lower lip, "well I thought it would be better if I answered then, than have him calling back over and over again."
"Yeah, you're right," he replied, sliding another finger into her as she moaned.
Max slowly led Liz back to the bed, taking his finger out of her and sliding her panties down her legs just as someone knocked on the door, "Lizzie, you in there?" It was her father.
She sighed and called, "Yeah, daddy...I'm studying, what's wrong?"
"I'm just wondering. Is Max in there too?" he asked her and she stood up quickly, pulling all of her clothes on as Max pulled on a t-shirt and his boxers.
"Yeah...we're cramming for this big test," she called, giving Max an apologetic smile.
She walked to the door, opening and unlocking it as Max quickly pulled out a few books, spreading them out on the bed along with a notebook and a pencil.
"Hey there, Max," Jeff said and Max smiled, waving.
"Hi, Jeff," he said. Jeff smiled and turned to Liz.
"Anyway, Lizzie, Kyle's downstairs looking for you," he told her.
"Daddy, could you tell Kyle it's way too late to be visiting, and I really don't want to talk to him right now?" Liz said stiffly. She hadn't told her father that they had broken up yet.
"Of course...Max, I assume you'll be spending the night?" he asked.
"Yes, if it's alright by you, of course, Jeff," Max said, sitting cross-legged on the bed to hide his massive erection.
"Of course it is, you're welcome whenever you want...good night, Lizzie," Jeff said, leaning down and kissing her on the cheek before leaving.
Liz sighed and shut and locked her door, leaning against it as she looked at Max, "You so aren't hiding it all that well. I don't know how my dad didn't see it," she said, giggling.
"Thanks, that makes me feel a whole lot better," Max said, shoving all the books onto the floor.
"Hey...are you alright?" she asked him softly, moving towards him.
"I just...it's embarrassing to have a hard-on in front of your dad," he said as she sat down on the bed.
"I'm sorry baby, are you mad at me?" she asked him, smoothing some of his hair away from his forehead softly.
"Me...mad at you? Not possible," he told her, placing his hand behind her head and kissing her deeply.
"Good. Because I don't know what I'd do if you were. Now...let's pick up where we left off, if it's possible," Liz said, giggling and pulling her clothes off as Max reached to his backpack.
"Oh, it's possible," he told her, grinning.
"You never told me what was in that bag, you know," she said, peeking in it as he took off his shirt.
He grinned and revealed handcuffs and a blindfold. "Wanna play a game, Lizzie Wizzie?" he asked mischeviously.
"My goodness Max, and you're still a rookie too!" she said, giggling as he took her hands, cuffing them to her bedposts.
"They're Michael's," Max said, shrugging.
"...Michael's...oh my god ew! He probably used these on Maria! Gross!" Liz shrieked.
"We could stop if you want," he told her, starting to shield her eyes with the blindfold.
"No...just don't mention them again, okay?" Liz asked, laughing a little.
"No problem," he said, kissing her softly before her world was consumed in darkness.
She closed her eyes, figuring there was no use straining them when she wouldn't be able to see anything anyways.
"Oooh, what are you going to do with me, Max?" she asked, her voice high and breathy.
"You'll just have to wait and...well, not see," he said, his voice coming from across the room.
"What are you doing over there...come back," she called, pouting her lips.
"You'll be glad, just be patient my love," he said, his footsteps letting Liz know he was on his way back, she gasped a second later as something cold was spread on her body.
"What...what is that?" she asked.
"Vanilla ice cream, I know it's your favorite, and it just happens to be my favorite. Vanilla ice cream a la Liz," he said, his tongue licking it off of her stomach moments later.
"Ohh," she moaned, biting her lip as she felt the coldness on her clit, his tongue there a second later.
"God, that feels so good," she moaned and Max looked up.
"My name's Max, but I can go with God," he said, laughing lightly.
She laughed, though it came out as more of a moan as he continued to lick down there.
She tugged at her handcuffs, but they stayed put, making her moan in both frustration and pleasure as suddenly she felt something vibrate against her, causing her to scream out in the first orgasm of her life, Max's mouth covering her own to muffle the sound.
"Oh...oh Max," she moaned as he continued to kiss her.
Her breaths were now released in short pants, the vibrating not going away and causing her to reach her climax over and over again, Max's fingers aiding the toy.
"Max...I need you," she moaned, breathing heavily.
"As you wish," he replied, the vibrating suddenly gone and replaced with Max's hard cock.
"Ohh...oh God...Max, hold me," she breathed as they moved in rhythm with each other.
He did as she asked, holding her body close to his as he pounded into her over and over and over again, glad that she was on the pill, because he had forgotten to put on a condom, and he didn't really want to pull out.
"Mmm....oh...OH GOD!" she screamed as an orgasm ripped through her body.
Max crushed his mouth to hers in a passionate kiss, letting his mouth muffle her screams as she orgasmed, himself moaning out loudly a moment later as he reached his release.
He rolled over so that he was next to her, reaching up to release the handcuffs and slip the blindfold from her eyes.
She blinked a few times, breathing heavily still, before rolling on top of him, kissing him intensely and grinding her pelvis into his, grinning as he rose back to life almost instantly. She quickly snatched the handcuffs, cuffing him to the bed and blindfolding him before rolling over to go to sleep, "Nighty night Max," she said, smiling.
"Heyyyy," he said, pouting as she continued to smile.
"Hey yourself Mister. I'm exhausted, and need my beauty sleep," she said, cuddling up to him for good measure.
"Uncuff me," he said, continuing to pout.
"Nuh-uh, I like you like this. Night Max," she said, smiling and closing her eyes.
"Liiiiiiizzz, what if your dad catches us like this??" he asked.
"Door's locked, you have the key, he won't," She mumbled.
"At least cover me...I'm cold," he said quietly.
"Ok," she said and then rolled on top of him.
"This I can work with," he said, grinning and kissing her softly.
"Go to sleep," she whispered, resting her head on his chest and pulling the covers over both of them before falling asleep.

Author's Note: I'm so so sorry for the delay, my internet has been down lately and I was at dad's this weekend, so I'm going to post an extra long chap to make up for it Thanks so much for the reviews, and we hope you really like this chapter!!
Chapter 10
"How's it going back there?" Max asked as Liz brought him his order the next day. Maria had confirmed that she was indeed pregnant and had dragged Michael into the back room to tell him.
There was a loud crash followed by yells and Liz cringed, glancing back to the small window.
A minute later, Michael came storming through the restaurant, Maria running after him, "Fine then, leave! We'll be better off without you!"
Liz looked over at Max, setting down her tray before rushing to the back room to Maria.
"Ria, what happened??" she asked as Maria sat down on the couch, crying softly.
"He said it was my fault, he said he wanted me to...to abort the baby, that he wouldn't hel-help me take care of it!" Maria cried, her tears coming out full force now.
Liz sighed sadly and pulled Maria closer, letting her cry onto her shoulder. "It's ok, Ria," Liz assured her.
"I thought he would be happy!" she said brokenly, leaning against Liz as she sobbed, "What am I going to do? I can't raise a baby by myself."
"I'll help," Liz told her. "And so will Max and Alex."
"Alex...when's he coming back anyways? It should be soon," Maria asked, wiping her eyes.
"A couple weeks...I talked to him last night," Liz told her. "Now, get cleaned up, that food won't serve itself...and tonight it'll be just us girls, no icky boys."
"Thanks Liz," Maria said, hugging Liz tightly before walking into the washroom to clean up.
Liz went back out into the restaurant and right over to Max. "Your brother is a total asshole! He told her to get an abortion!" she said furiously.
"Hey...calm down Liz. You have to think about him for a second, I mean he's probably scared to death. He didn't have a father growing up Liz, and now he has to be one," Max said.
"That's no excuse for what he did, Max! Maria is my best friend, no one treats my best friend like that!" Liz exclaimed.
"Just...calm down Liz, have a fry," Max said, offering a small smile.
"That's all you can say, Max? Have a fry?" she asked, though she smiled and stole one of his.
"I have to get back on the floor, so...I'm having a girl's only night with Maria tonight," Liz told him.
"Ok...but tomorrow, you're all mine," he told her, grinning mischievously and kissing her quickly.
"Max! Not in public," she scolded, blushing as she looked around to make sure her father wasn't watching.
"We're gonna have to tell him, Liz," he said as she stood up.
"You know what...let's go tell him. Now, I hate hiding it," Liz said, taking her hands in his, "Let me do the talking though."
"You got it," he replied as she led him into the kitchen.
"Daddy, do you have a moment? We need to talk to you," Liz said, detaching herself from Max as they got closer to her father.
"Sure, honey, what is it? Oh, hello, Max," he said as he turned around to face them.
"In private," she said, taking his hand and leading him to the break room, Max tagging along like a puppy.
"Is everything all right?" Jeff asked as Liz closed the door behind the three of them.
"Daddy...we're...dating," Liz said slowly, watching the reaction cross her father's face, just as her mother walked in to the room.
"You and Max?" Jeff asked, his eyebrows raised.
"No, me and that guy eating his 5th cheeseburger," Liz said sarcastically, pointing to a large man who had been in the restaurant for almost 2 hours.
Max chuckled and Liz grinned over at him. "Yeah so...we just wanted to tell you," she said.
"Wait...he's been spending the night...how long exactly has this been going on?" her mother demanded.
"Well...since...yesterday," Liz admitted, not counting the several times she had kissed him while she was still dating Kyle.
"You do know that this means no more sleepovers, and you can't shut your door while he's in your room anymore," Jeff said.
"Yes, I know," Liz replied.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me about this, before you had him spend the night last night," Jeff said, shaking his head.
"Dad, he's still my best friend, we still mainly talk and gossip and stuff, I mean if you were going to trust anyone with my heart...wouldn't it be him?" Liz asked her father.
Max reached for her hand and smiled down at her. "You do anything to my daughter..." Jeff began.
"Daddyyyyyy," Liz said, sighing.
Jeff sighed as well as Nancy put her hand on his shoulder, "Liz, I believe you have a shift to finish," she said.
"Yes daddy," she said quietly, squeezing Max's hand before turning to leave.
Max turned to follow her but they stopped him, "Not so fast Mister, we are going to have a little talk," Jeff's voice said, Liz giggling slightly as she quickly left the room.
Max sighed and turned to face Liz's parents. "Yes sir," he said.
Liz smiled to herself before walking back out into the restaurant, taking the large man's order for 2 pieces of pie, rolling her eyes to Maria as she walked to get it.
She cut him two slices of pie and set them on a plate, freezing as the door opened and she heard her name. It was Kyle. She knew as soon as she heard him.
She closed her eyes, exhaling loud enough for him to hear as she took the pie back, bringing the bill also, to give a hint. It was rush hour and they needed seats.
Suddenly, he was right behind her. "Liz," he whispered in her ear.
"Kyle, I'm working," she replied stiffly.
"I want to talk to you," he said softly, grabbing her arm.
"Really? Because Kyle, I have no interest at all in talking to you at the moment," Liz snapped, pulling her arm away and heading for the kitchen.
"Liiiiiiizzz," he groaned, following her. "I wanna try to work things out."
"Too late, too bad," Liz said, "Order up!"
"Come on, Liz," he pouted, sliding his arm around her waist.
"Kyle! Get off!" Liz exclaimed, pushing him off of her agitatedly, "Maria, I'm on break!"
“Gotcha!" Maria called back, taking an order over to table 7 as Kyle followed Liz outside.
"Kyle, leave me alone, I want nothing to do with you right now!" Liz said furiously.
"Hey, if anyone should be mad, it's me!" he exclaimed.
"Oh yeah, because you were 100% faithful to me Kyle, bullshit," Liz said.
"What the hell is THAT supposed to mean???" he nearly shouted.
"I know you slept with Pam Troy this summer while I was visiting my aunt!" she exclaimed.
"THAT is bullshit, Liz, and you know it!" Kyle shouted.
"Whatever. My sources saw you two," Liz said, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Sources? You sent people spying on me???" he asked incredulously.
"No! I trusted you! And one day they happened to be walking to the concession stand in the drive-in, and they saw you two in the bed of your trunk!" she nearly screamed.
"So if anyone has the right to mad, it's me, you lying, cheating sonofabitch!" she cried, slapping him across the face before walking away.
She ran over to her ladder, climbing up as quickly as possible, which was pretty quick, having a lot of practice, and ran into her room, glad she left the window unlocked, locking it once she was in.
She groaned and stripped off all of her clothes, going into the bathroom and taking a long, relaxing bath.
~*~
"Liz...helloooo, Liz have you forgotten that I'm the only one working tonight besides you? You've been on break for an hour!" Maria exclaimed from outside the bathroom door.
Liz opened her eyes and sat up. She had nearly fallen asleep in the tub. "Oh, I'm sorry, Maria...I'll be out in a minute," she called.
She got out, drying herself quickly before slipping back in her uniform and pulling her hair back in a ponytail before going out to Maria.
She laughed and shook her head as she saw Maria sitting on the bed, munching on a Snickers bar. "Again with the Snickers?" she asked.
"Yes, again with the Snickers, now it's my turn for break, so I'm going to take a nice, long, hot shower while you bust your ass out there," she said, already taking off her uniform as Liz left.
An hour later after her shift, Liz went upstairs to find Maria sitting up in bed, reading a magazine and taking massive handfuls from a huge bowl of popcorn beside her.
"Please don't tell me there's caramel on that popcorn, because I don't feel like going back downstairs to get another bag of it," Liz said, sighing.
"No caramel...and oh my God, Liz...your perfume is making me sick," Maria said, making a face at Liz.
"Perfume? Oh, it's not that strong Maria, gosh. I'll just go wash it off, I suppose," Liz said, rolling her eyes playfully before washing it off in the bathroom and changing into her pj's.
She came out of the bathroom to find Maria in the same position as before only now she was watching TV. "So, did you and Maxy have a good time last night?" she asked, grinning and turning to Liz.
"Mayyyybe," Liz said, smirking as she sat down next to Maria, "I...had my first...you know."
"Awww...my Lizzie's all grown up!" Maria exclaimed, turning the TV off and laughing.
"Yeah, yeah, shut up," Liz mumbled, though she was smiling, "At least you haven't walked in on us...yet."
"Like you and Max did on me and....he-of-whom-we-shall-not-speak?" Maria said, a small smile forming on her face as Liz laughed, recalling that day, about a month ago...
~*~
"Come on Max, Maria is never going to forgive us if we don't get here on time," Liz said, dragging Max into Maria's house and upstairs. They hadn't slept together yet, and therefore things were...relatively normal in their relationship.
"Ugh, why'd you talk me into this anyway??" Max groaned. They were meeting up with Michael and Maria to go to the mall. "You know I hate shopping."
"Well, oh well," Liz said, smirking over at him before opening her door.
That was when two things happened in quick succession: Liz and Maria screamed while Liz and Max clapped their hands over their eyes.
"Oh god I'm going to be scarred for life," Max groaned as he turned around, Liz slowly opening her fingers and sighing as she saw Michael and Maria had dove for the protection of the covers.
"We'll just...wait downstairs," Liz said quickly, dragging Max down the stairs.
"I can't believe we walked in on them...having sex! Naked sex!" Max exclaimed, his face as red as a fire hydrant.
"Yeah well, one usually has to be naked to have sex," Liz said, laughing a little as they sat down on the couch in the living room.
"I'm a virgin...you know," he said randomly.
"Yes, a virgin but not stupid," she said, though she was a little surprised that he was still a virgin.
"Yeah, well it's not like I have that experience and would know, for all I could know, they could do it with their clothes on," he said, laughing.
Liz laughed a little as an awkward silence fell between them. Things had been pretty awkward since the night when he had kissed her.
"Max...what changed, between us? I mean you were my brother when you left...and now, well..." Liz asked him.
He was silent for a moment before reaching for her hand. "I think I'm in love with you, Liz," he said softly.
"...Max..." she said slowly, her eyes slightly downcast as she blushed.
"I'm sorry, Liz...it's just how I feel, and I can't stop it," he whispered, taking her hand in both of his, his intense gaze locked on her.
She opened her mouth to reply to him when they heard the upstairs door open and close, Maria and Michael coming down the stairs.
Max quickly let go of her hand, still looking at her as Michael and Maria appeared, now fully clothed.
"Nice to see you two...with clothes on," Liz said, smirking as she stood up.
"Shut up," Maria said, laughing as they all got ready to leave.
"You better hope you don't walk in again...otherwise things may get messy," Michael said, causing Maria to laugh as they set out for the mall.
~*~
"You never told me about what Max said that day!" Maria exclaimed after Liz told her what had happened while she and Michael were still upstairs.
"He said...he thought he was in love with me," Liz said, smiling wistfully, "The next day...we made love."
"Why is it that you get the "look into my eyes, soul mate" thing goin' on and I got...Michael Guerin?" she asked, frowning a little.
"Because...I don't know. You'll find what I have though, you will, trust me. There will be an amazing man out there that doesn’t care about your past, or the fact that you're CRAZY, and you'll fall in love," Liz said, smiling.
"Yeah, I'm so sure," Maria said glumly. "Maybe it's like...genetic...I mean, my mom's horrible when it comes to guys...maybe I'm doomed with the same fate."
"Don't say that Ria. Now, it's time for makeovers, so get off your lazy bum and sit down on the floor," Liz said, jumping up and running over to her makeup bags.
~*~
"Guess who!" someone exclaimed from behind Liz, covering her eyes. She grinned hugely and screamed, "ALEX!!!!!!!"
"I've missed you!" He exclaimed in his quirky manner, "Germany was so boring without you to sit there and talk my ear off, wait that's Maria, but still!"
Liz laughed and threw her arms around Alex. "You have to tell me all about it!!!! God, I'm so jealous! You get exciting Germany while I get boring ol' Roswell," she said, laughing.
"From what I've heard from Maria, your time here has been anything BUT boring," Alex said, winking at her as she blushed, before dragging him over to where Max stood against the wall, shyly. That was something she loved so much about him.
"Alex, this is Max...Max, this is Alex, he's been in Germany," Liz said, smiling as the two shook hands. Ever since her parents had spoken to Max about "his intentions with their daughter", they had been taking it slow. They hadn't even made love since the day she broke up with Kyle, nearly two weeks ago.
They told Max that if he could respect their wishes, not sneaking in from the balcony or anything, then after a month he could stay overnight and in her room with the door shut.
"Ahh, so this is Max...I've heard a lot about you," Alex said, laughing a little as Liz grinned and took Max's hand in hers.
"Well I've heard a lot about you also," Max told him, smiling at Alex.
The bell rang, signaling the start of a new class. "Gotta go...I've got so much to catch up on...see you both at the Crash," Alex said, hurrying off to his next class.
"That's Alex, he loves school, almost as much as I love you," Liz said, beaming up at Max as he took her hand in his, the first time they had done this in school.
"Well, no one can love anyone or anything as much as I love you," he said softly, kissing her tenderly as they walked slowly to their next class.
"AP Biology time," Liz said, pulling him over to their desk and sitting down, Max's hand resting on her thigh as they waited for the teacher to come in.
About halfway through the class, Max slid a note over to her. She smiled and picked it up off the table, readying his somewhat sloppy handwriting: Eraser room, 6th period?
She glanced over at him, her eyes dancing as she nodded subtly, slipping the note into her pocket.
He grinned and placed his hand over hers as the minutes slowly ticked by.
Author's Note: I'm so so sorry for the delay, my internet has been down lately and I was at dad's this weekend, so I'm going to post an extra long chap to make up for it
Thanks so much for the reviews, and we hope you really like this chapter!!
Chapter 10
"How's it going back there?" Max asked as Liz brought him his order the next day. Maria had confirmed that she was indeed pregnant and had dragged Michael into the back room to tell him.
There was a loud crash followed by yells and Liz cringed, glancing back to the small window.
A minute later, Michael came storming through the restaurant, Maria running after him, "Fine then, leave! We'll be better off without you!"
Liz looked over at Max, setting down her tray before rushing to the back room to Maria.
"Ria, what happened??" she asked as Maria sat down on the couch, crying softly.
"He said it was my fault, he said he wanted me to...to abort the baby, that he wouldn't hel-help me take care of it!" Maria cried, her tears coming out full force now.
Liz sighed sadly and pulled Maria closer, letting her cry onto her shoulder. "It's ok, Ria," Liz assured her.
"I thought he would be happy!" she said brokenly, leaning against Liz as she sobbed, "What am I going to do? I can't raise a baby by myself."
"I'll help," Liz told her. "And so will Max and Alex."
"Alex...when's he coming back anyways? It should be soon," Maria asked, wiping her eyes.
"A couple weeks...I talked to him last night," Liz told her. "Now, get cleaned up, that food won't serve itself...and tonight it'll be just us girls, no icky boys."
"Thanks Liz," Maria said, hugging Liz tightly before walking into the washroom to clean up.
Liz went back out into the restaurant and right over to Max. "Your brother is a total asshole! He told her to get an abortion!" she said furiously.
"Hey...calm down Liz. You have to think about him for a second, I mean he's probably scared to death. He didn't have a father growing up Liz, and now he has to be one," Max said.
"That's no excuse for what he did, Max! Maria is my best friend, no one treats my best friend like that!" Liz exclaimed.
"Just...calm down Liz, have a fry," Max said, offering a small smile.
"That's all you can say, Max? Have a fry?" she asked, though she smiled and stole one of his.
"I have to get back on the floor, so...I'm having a girl's only night with Maria tonight," Liz told him.
"Ok...but tomorrow, you're all mine," he told her, grinning mischievously and kissing her quickly.
"Max! Not in public," she scolded, blushing as she looked around to make sure her father wasn't watching.
"We're gonna have to tell him, Liz," he said as she stood up.
"You know what...let's go tell him. Now, I hate hiding it," Liz said, taking her hands in his, "Let me do the talking though."
"You got it," he replied as she led him into the kitchen.
"Daddy, do you have a moment? We need to talk to you," Liz said, detaching herself from Max as they got closer to her father.
"Sure, honey, what is it? Oh, hello, Max," he said as he turned around to face them.
"In private," she said, taking his hand and leading him to the break room, Max tagging along like a puppy.
"Is everything all right?" Jeff asked as Liz closed the door behind the three of them.
"Daddy...we're...dating," Liz said slowly, watching the reaction cross her father's face, just as her mother walked in to the room.
"You and Max?" Jeff asked, his eyebrows raised.
"No, me and that guy eating his 5th cheeseburger," Liz said sarcastically, pointing to a large man who had been in the restaurant for almost 2 hours.
Max chuckled and Liz grinned over at him. "Yeah so...we just wanted to tell you," she said.
"Wait...he's been spending the night...how long exactly has this been going on?" her mother demanded.
"Well...since...yesterday," Liz admitted, not counting the several times she had kissed him while she was still dating Kyle.
"You do know that this means no more sleepovers, and you can't shut your door while he's in your room anymore," Jeff said.
"Yes, I know," Liz replied.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me about this, before you had him spend the night last night," Jeff said, shaking his head.
"Dad, he's still my best friend, we still mainly talk and gossip and stuff, I mean if you were going to trust anyone with my heart...wouldn't it be him?" Liz asked her father.
Max reached for her hand and smiled down at her. "You do anything to my daughter..." Jeff began.
"Daddyyyyyy," Liz said, sighing.
Jeff sighed as well as Nancy put her hand on his shoulder, "Liz, I believe you have a shift to finish," she said.
"Yes daddy," she said quietly, squeezing Max's hand before turning to leave.
Max turned to follow her but they stopped him, "Not so fast Mister, we are going to have a little talk," Jeff's voice said, Liz giggling slightly as she quickly left the room.
Max sighed and turned to face Liz's parents. "Yes sir," he said.
Liz smiled to herself before walking back out into the restaurant, taking the large man's order for 2 pieces of pie, rolling her eyes to Maria as she walked to get it.
She cut him two slices of pie and set them on a plate, freezing as the door opened and she heard her name. It was Kyle. She knew as soon as she heard him.
She closed her eyes, exhaling loud enough for him to hear as she took the pie back, bringing the bill also, to give a hint. It was rush hour and they needed seats.
Suddenly, he was right behind her. "Liz," he whispered in her ear.
"Kyle, I'm working," she replied stiffly.
"I want to talk to you," he said softly, grabbing her arm.
"Really? Because Kyle, I have no interest at all in talking to you at the moment," Liz snapped, pulling her arm away and heading for the kitchen.
"Liiiiiiizzz," he groaned, following her. "I wanna try to work things out."
"Too late, too bad," Liz said, "Order up!"
"Come on, Liz," he pouted, sliding his arm around her waist.
"Kyle! Get off!" Liz exclaimed, pushing him off of her agitatedly, "Maria, I'm on break!"
“Gotcha!" Maria called back, taking an order over to table 7 as Kyle followed Liz outside.
"Kyle, leave me alone, I want nothing to do with you right now!" Liz said furiously.
"Hey, if anyone should be mad, it's me!" he exclaimed.
"Oh yeah, because you were 100% faithful to me Kyle, bullshit," Liz said.
"What the hell is THAT supposed to mean???" he nearly shouted.
"I know you slept with Pam Troy this summer while I was visiting my aunt!" she exclaimed.
"THAT is bullshit, Liz, and you know it!" Kyle shouted.
"Whatever. My sources saw you two," Liz said, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Sources? You sent people spying on me???" he asked incredulously.
"No! I trusted you! And one day they happened to be walking to the concession stand in the drive-in, and they saw you two in the bed of your trunk!" she nearly screamed.
"So if anyone has the right to mad, it's me, you lying, cheating sonofabitch!" she cried, slapping him across the face before walking away.
She ran over to her ladder, climbing up as quickly as possible, which was pretty quick, having a lot of practice, and ran into her room, glad she left the window unlocked, locking it once she was in.
She groaned and stripped off all of her clothes, going into the bathroom and taking a long, relaxing bath.
~*~
"Liz...helloooo, Liz have you forgotten that I'm the only one working tonight besides you? You've been on break for an hour!" Maria exclaimed from outside the bathroom door.
Liz opened her eyes and sat up. She had nearly fallen asleep in the tub. "Oh, I'm sorry, Maria...I'll be out in a minute," she called.
She got out, drying herself quickly before slipping back in her uniform and pulling her hair back in a ponytail before going out to Maria.
She laughed and shook her head as she saw Maria sitting on the bed, munching on a Snickers bar. "Again with the Snickers?" she asked.
"Yes, again with the Snickers, now it's my turn for break, so I'm going to take a nice, long, hot shower while you bust your ass out there," she said, already taking off her uniform as Liz left.
An hour later after her shift, Liz went upstairs to find Maria sitting up in bed, reading a magazine and taking massive handfuls from a huge bowl of popcorn beside her.
"Please don't tell me there's caramel on that popcorn, because I don't feel like going back downstairs to get another bag of it," Liz said, sighing.
"No caramel...and oh my God, Liz...your perfume is making me sick," Maria said, making a face at Liz.
"Perfume? Oh, it's not that strong Maria, gosh. I'll just go wash it off, I suppose," Liz said, rolling her eyes playfully before washing it off in the bathroom and changing into her pj's.
She came out of the bathroom to find Maria in the same position as before only now she was watching TV. "So, did you and Maxy have a good time last night?" she asked, grinning and turning to Liz.
"Mayyyybe," Liz said, smirking as she sat down next to Maria, "I...had my first...you know."
"Awww...my Lizzie's all grown up!" Maria exclaimed, turning the TV off and laughing.
"Yeah, yeah, shut up," Liz mumbled, though she was smiling, "At least you haven't walked in on us...yet."
"Like you and Max did on me and....he-of-whom-we-shall-not-speak?" Maria said, a small smile forming on her face as Liz laughed, recalling that day, about a month ago...
~*~
"Come on Max, Maria is never going to forgive us if we don't get here on time," Liz said, dragging Max into Maria's house and upstairs. They hadn't slept together yet, and therefore things were...relatively normal in their relationship.
"Ugh, why'd you talk me into this anyway??" Max groaned. They were meeting up with Michael and Maria to go to the mall. "You know I hate shopping."
"Well, oh well," Liz said, smirking over at him before opening her door.
That was when two things happened in quick succession: Liz and Maria screamed while Liz and Max clapped their hands over their eyes.
"Oh god I'm going to be scarred for life," Max groaned as he turned around, Liz slowly opening her fingers and sighing as she saw Michael and Maria had dove for the protection of the covers.
"We'll just...wait downstairs," Liz said quickly, dragging Max down the stairs.
"I can't believe we walked in on them...having sex! Naked sex!" Max exclaimed, his face as red as a fire hydrant.
"Yeah well, one usually has to be naked to have sex," Liz said, laughing a little as they sat down on the couch in the living room.
"I'm a virgin...you know," he said randomly.
"Yes, a virgin but not stupid," she said, though she was a little surprised that he was still a virgin.
"Yeah, well it's not like I have that experience and would know, for all I could know, they could do it with their clothes on," he said, laughing.
Liz laughed a little as an awkward silence fell between them. Things had been pretty awkward since the night when he had kissed her.
"Max...what changed, between us? I mean you were my brother when you left...and now, well..." Liz asked him.
He was silent for a moment before reaching for her hand. "I think I'm in love with you, Liz," he said softly.
"...Max..." she said slowly, her eyes slightly downcast as she blushed.
"I'm sorry, Liz...it's just how I feel, and I can't stop it," he whispered, taking her hand in both of his, his intense gaze locked on her.
She opened her mouth to reply to him when they heard the upstairs door open and close, Maria and Michael coming down the stairs.
Max quickly let go of her hand, still looking at her as Michael and Maria appeared, now fully clothed.
"Nice to see you two...with clothes on," Liz said, smirking as she stood up.
"Shut up," Maria said, laughing as they all got ready to leave.
"You better hope you don't walk in again...otherwise things may get messy," Michael said, causing Maria to laugh as they set out for the mall.
~*~
"You never told me about what Max said that day!" Maria exclaimed after Liz told her what had happened while she and Michael were still upstairs.
"He said...he thought he was in love with me," Liz said, smiling wistfully, "The next day...we made love."
"Why is it that you get the "look into my eyes, soul mate" thing goin' on and I got...Michael Guerin?" she asked, frowning a little.
"Because...I don't know. You'll find what I have though, you will, trust me. There will be an amazing man out there that doesn’t care about your past, or the fact that you're CRAZY, and you'll fall in love," Liz said, smiling.
"Yeah, I'm so sure," Maria said glumly. "Maybe it's like...genetic...I mean, my mom's horrible when it comes to guys...maybe I'm doomed with the same fate."
"Don't say that Ria. Now, it's time for makeovers, so get off your lazy bum and sit down on the floor," Liz said, jumping up and running over to her makeup bags.
~*~
"Guess who!" someone exclaimed from behind Liz, covering her eyes. She grinned hugely and screamed, "ALEX!!!!!!!"
"I've missed you!" He exclaimed in his quirky manner, "Germany was so boring without you to sit there and talk my ear off, wait that's Maria, but still!"
Liz laughed and threw her arms around Alex. "You have to tell me all about it!!!! God, I'm so jealous! You get exciting Germany while I get boring ol' Roswell," she said, laughing.
"From what I've heard from Maria, your time here has been anything BUT boring," Alex said, winking at her as she blushed, before dragging him over to where Max stood against the wall, shyly. That was something she loved so much about him.
"Alex, this is Max...Max, this is Alex, he's been in Germany," Liz said, smiling as the two shook hands. Ever since her parents had spoken to Max about "his intentions with their daughter", they had been taking it slow. They hadn't even made love since the day she broke up with Kyle, nearly two weeks ago.
They told Max that if he could respect their wishes, not sneaking in from the balcony or anything, then after a month he could stay overnight and in her room with the door shut.
"Ahh, so this is Max...I've heard a lot about you," Alex said, laughing a little as Liz grinned and took Max's hand in hers.
"Well I've heard a lot about you also," Max told him, smiling at Alex.
The bell rang, signaling the start of a new class. "Gotta go...I've got so much to catch up on...see you both at the Crash," Alex said, hurrying off to his next class.
"That's Alex, he loves school, almost as much as I love you," Liz said, beaming up at Max as he took her hand in his, the first time they had done this in school.
"Well, no one can love anyone or anything as much as I love you," he said softly, kissing her tenderly as they walked slowly to their next class.
"AP Biology time," Liz said, pulling him over to their desk and sitting down, Max's hand resting on her thigh as they waited for the teacher to come in.
About halfway through the class, Max slid a note over to her. She smiled and picked it up off the table, readying his somewhat sloppy handwriting: Eraser room, 6th period?
She glanced over at him, her eyes dancing as she nodded subtly, slipping the note into her pocket.
He grinned and placed his hand over hers as the minutes slowly ticked by.
