Prologue
“If you just walked away, what could I really say? Would it matter anyway? Would it change how you feel? I am the mess you chose, the closet you cannot close. Devil in you, I suppose; because the wounds never heal. Everything changes. If I could turn back the years, if you could learn to forgive me, then I could learn to feel.”
Liz laid there listening to the acoustics of “Everything Changes” by Stain’d. It fit her mood perfectly. How could she just throw away the best of her? ‘Stupid Future Max, I hate him! Why couldn’t he just go to someone else? Why me, and not someone like Tess?’ She answered her own question, ‘Because I’m the only one he trusts.’ Liz thought bitterly.
It had been a whole week since Future Max had appeared on her balcony and throughout the whole week, Liz was taunted with the words of fellow classmates. “Slut.” “Whore.” “Perfect Liz Parker. Who would of thought?” Somehow word got out through the whole school that Liz and Kyle slept together. There were only three people who knew the truth and one of them just disappeared into thin air during what should have been her wedding dance.
Somehow, those words didn’t hurt as much as the empty shells that use to contain so much love in them, which would look up at her as she walked through the hallways or into Biology class. She couldn’t take it anymore. She was suffocating.
She needed to get out Roswell. She couldn’t take the looks or the stares anymore. Especially the daggers she got from Tess and Isabel. Michael just ignored her. Max though, he would stare at her with those empty shells like he was trying to figure her out. Like he wasn’t quite sure she could betray him but yet he had seen them with his eyes.
Liz picked up the phone and dialed the number so familiar to her. One of the people who would never turn her back on her. Maria. Maria picked up on the third ring, “Liz, babe, how are you doing?” Maria knew something wasn’t quite right with the whole situation but she wasn’t going to pry until Liz came to her. She knew prying would do no good.
“Not too good, I just…I can’t be here anymore. I’m thinking of going to Florida. Just finish out the rest of my school year there. I hinted to my mom and I think she would be okay.”
“Liz, anywhere you go, I follow. I remember last summer and I think you are going to need a lot of support. Besides it will be fun. Two girls, new school, new boys….”
Liz could only meekly smile even though Maria couldn’t see it. “Okay, if you are sure. What about your mom?”
“Are you kidding me? I bet my mom would love to get me away from Michael. Trust me. She will be okay with it.”
“Okay. I wonder how Alex and Kyle will take it. They’d be the only humans left in the alien abyss of misery and suffering.’
"Oh I know!" Maria got excited and started talking faster. "Let's all four just go. We all need a break from Roswell and the beach sounds fabulous right now."
"Do you think Alex and Kyle will want to go? What about the Whitman's and Valenti? Do you think they will agree?" Liz's mood started to pick up. The thought of all four of them in Florida was very enticing.
"Well there is only one way to find out. I will call both of them right away and let you know what they say and if they can go. Just give me a couple days. I will work the Deluca charm." Maria stated.
Liz agreed. They both said their goodbyes.
....
The next day at school, Liz and Maria met up with Alex and Kyle.
"My dad's cool with it. He's almost jealous. He understands the need to get away. He would come, but he can’t just leave the house and he knows he needs to put down the bottle and get a job" Kyle told them.
"My parents are okay with it since it is a new experience and they have met Liz's aunt. They trust me to make the best of it in Florida." Alex followed up with.
"So it's set. All four of us are leaving for Florida in a week. Let us pack and get our stuff together for our new school. I talked to my parents last night and they are okay with it. They seem to understand. My aunt is super excited to have all of you coming with me. She still remembers how depressed I was this summer and I think, she thinks with you guys I will be out having fun." Liz said. She didn't notice who was standing behind her until Maria pointed.
Max, Tess, Isabel, and Michael all stood behind her. "You're leaving. All of you?" Isabel looked devastated. However, Max was worse. He looked to be on the verge of tears. Teas just looked down and Michael had no expression on his face.
All 8 just stood there. 4 each facing the other 4 without any words. It was finally Alex who spoke up. "Yeah, we all thought it would be a good idea to go on a vacation. It's been rough the last year and we thought we could finish the last 2 months of school there and then spend our summer there. It's just a break, nothing more. We aren't leaving Roswell forever." Alex just wanted to go up to Isabel and hold her but she made it clear she wasn't interested.
"Well if you guys think that's what you need to do than do it. I don't blame you. I would escape Roswell if I could too." Michael said with no emotion. Maria just looked on hurt that he could just let her go like that. Kyle and Tess just shared a sad smile. Max kept staring at Liz. Liz stared back. Like she was daring him to figure out her secret.
'What is she running from?' Max thought. Max may be devastated but he wasn't stupid. He knew there was more to Liz's and co "vacation" than they were letting on.
"Well if that is that, I got places to be." Michael just strode off. Soon Isabel and Tess followed. As Tess was leaving, she accidentally brushed arms with Liz. Tess paused for a second and than kept walking. Max stayed behind. He saw the tears in Liz's eyes. What had broken her almost as much as finding Liz in bed with Kyle did to him?
Their connection hummed to life. It was always there but when emotions ran high, it was like they could sense each other's emotions and vague words of thoughts. Max caught guilt, shame, loss, and sadness from Liz. He faintly caught the thoughts of ‘How could I do this to him? It’s for the best, I have to do this.’ Max didn’t know what to think of her thoughts. He closed himself off so she couldn’t read his through the connection by accident.
Liz felt his emotions of sadness, loss, and suspicion but what surprised her was the concern she felt. She heard no thoughts. Max guarded his well.
The bell rang for first period.
"Good bye, Max." Liz finally said breaking the spell of his eyes baring into her. Every time he even looked at her much less stared at her, it made her weak in the knees and she felt the warmth in her lower stomach. The four humans walked off to complete their classes and transfer of their transcripts.
.....
Once school was over that day, all four humans went home to start packing and preparing for their 5 months in Florida.
Liz didn't feel like being questioned by anyone, especially her parents so she snuck up her ladder leading to her balcony. What awaited her room, shocked her.
Tess was just sitting there on Liz's bed waiting for her. Liz warily walked into her room. "What do you want, Tess?"
Tess stood up and wiped her sweaty palms on her jeans. She knew this wasn't going to be easy. "We need to talk. I want you to take me with you to Florida."
Summary: This takes place after Future Max comes and destroys Max and Liz's relationship. It starts a week after Future Max comes. Liz and the other humans also meet unlikely allies in the crazy alien abyss as she discovers their new role and fight the ultimate evil.
