Rating: Mature (for language) could possible have some adult moments, but I’ll give a warning beforehand.
Summary: This is an idea I got from watching the movie ‘The Heavenly Kid.’ I saw it a while back, and every since then I’ve couldn’t get it out of my head. I’ve only caught the end of the movie, but got the main concept of it, so it may or may not going just like the movie. I’m going to give this a shot and I hope everyone gives it a chance.
Disclaimer: I once again, own nothing. Roswell belongs to whoever thought of it, and the major UPN folks. Also the rights to The Heavenly Kid belongs to someone else. I’m just borrowing the concept. Any parts of this story that resembles anyone else’s story or this story has been done before, it is clearly a coincidence, and I mean no harm. I’m just a lonely Dreamer, who misses Roswell.
Feedback Always appreciated, good or bad.

~~Prologue~~

1988


“Maria would you hurry up, Max and Michael will be here any minute” sixteen year old Liz Parker hissed to her best friend as she continued to peeked cautiously down the hall were her parents were sleeping. If they had any idea that she was sneaking out to meet Roswell’s very own resident ‘Bad Boy,’ they would blow a gasket. She had already been busted with him twice and was forbidden to have anything to do with him. He wasn’t permitted within a hundred feet of ‘The Dive’ the local teen hangout that her parents also happen to own. If her father knew that Max made nightly visits to his ‘sweet, innocent’ little girl, he would for sure have him thrown in jail. Max already had two strikes against him, and if he went back to jail, his father had promised his next stop would be military school, but now that Max was eighteen, that threat held no real heat. So they snuck around, making sure he left the house before her or his parents found out he was there or missing. Tonight though, Max’s parents were away for a business conference, and he didn’t have to worry about curfew and being caught.

Maria finally emerged from the bathroom. “It’s about time” Liz whispered, grabbing her leather jacket from her dresser.

“How do I look” Maria smiled, spinning around to show off her outfit? Liz took in her short red leather skirt that left nothing for the imagination and a top that she swore looked exactly like a headband of hers that went missing a few days back, and of course to top it off, she wore knee high leather boots.

“Like a ho” Liz laughed quietly as she arranged the pillows under her blanket just in case for some odd reason her parents decided to check on them through the night. She laughed a little louder when a pillow flew at her head.

“Shh, you don’t want to wake the ‘rents” Maria grinned, checking down the hall once again. Liz looked around the room once again, making sure every thing was right.

“You ready” she whispered? Maria gave a nod, and they made their way to the window. Liz slid the window open quietly. Years of sneaking out had come in handy. They stepped out on to her balcony into the cool summer night. Liz loved her balcony, it was her sanctuary. Most nights she would just sit in her lounge chair, watching the stars, thinking about Max and their future. Some nights he would join her, and he would constantly talk about the different constellations, God and angels. Contrary to what others believed, Max was a very smart person. He had a gentle soul and had dreams. Dreams that always included her.

“Liz” a voice whispered down below, and Liz smiled as she walked to the edge. Peaking over the side, her smile grew wider as she saw him standing down below with a handsome smirk on his face. Although she couldn’t quiet make out his form, she knew Michael stood a few feet away leaning against a wall, the light from his cigarette giving him away.

“We’ll be right down” she returned, motioning for Maria. Carefully she made her way over the ledge and climbed down the ladder. As she reached the bottom, strong hands wrapped around her waist, assisting her the rest of the way.

“Hey” he whispered huskily against her ear, causing her knees to grow weak.

“Hi” she smiled in return, running her hand over the cool leather surface of his jacket. Max leaned over and slanted his mouth over hers. Like always, they quickly got wrapped up in each other.

“Hello...a little help here” Maria huffed as she made her way down the ladder. Max pulled away from Liz reluctantly.

“Sorry” he blushed, stepping up to help her.

“Chill Maxwell, I got this” Michael announced, stomping out the butt of his cigarette with the toe of his boot. He wrapped his hands around Maria’s shapely hips. Once she was planted firmly on the ground, his hand crept dangerously up her bare midriff, as he buried his face in her blonde curls.

“You looking fucking hot” he growled, biting on her earlobes. “What’cha got under there for daddy” he teased, letting his free hand run up her thigh, slipping under her skirt?

“You are so bad” Maria giggled, slapping his hand from under her skirt.

“Grrr” he snapped his teeth at her, slapping her hard on the butt.

“Can we get this show on the rode” Max rolled his eyes, throwing his arm around Liz’s shoulder? They all nodded in agreement before heading down the deserted streets were Max and Michael’s bikes were parked.

“So where are we going” Maria asked as she adjusted her helmet?

“Does it matter” Michael retorted, swinging a leg over his bike?

“Of course it matters bonehead. I didn’t spend an hour putting this outfit together for nothing. I need to be someplace I can be seen” she climbed on behind him, her skirt riding high on her thighs. As always, the two of them began to argue. Max and Liz only rolled their eyes heavenward.

“You ready babe” Max asked over his shoulder? Liz scooted closer so that there wasn’t any space between them. Wrapping her arms tightly around his waist, she buried her face against his strong back, taking in his intoxicating scent.

“Ready” she smiled. The two bikes roared to life, and were soon speeding down the open rode side by side.

Hi, just wanted to say thanks to everyone that left f/b and those that are lurking. It means alot to know that you all are interested in my lil' old story :lol: :lol:

Warning, slight ADULT moment ahead

Chapter 1

Max looked briefly over his shoulder, watching as Liz held her head back and the wind captured her long tresses. Her eyes were closed and a serene smile was plastered on her face. He hated that she didn’t wear a helmet. She said she loved to feel the wind whip through her hair as they reached ninety on the speedometer. They were constantly having the same argument over the helmet.

“If you don’t have to wear one, why should I” she had threw at him. To say, they never reached an agreement on the subject and Max hated it when they fought, so he dropped it...for now. Focusing back on the stretch of highway before him, Max couldn’t hold his laughter when he watched Michael pop a wheelie on his bike. Even over the loud roar of his engine and whipping wind, he could still hear Maria’s loud screech as she clung to him.

His laughter died in his throat when Liz’s hand suddenly came to rest on his thigh, dangerously close to his groin. He could feel her placing little kisses on the back of his neck. With each kiss, her hand slid a little higher until she was stroking the now huge bulge in his pants.

“Liz” he groaned, trying to focus on the road and not cause an accident, instead of letting up on her ministrations, her hands crept to the waist of his pants, toying with the button. Max swerved slightly, and Liz felt their speed decrease. Max swallowed hard as her hand ran under his shirt, stroking the taut skin of his stomach. “Fuck” he growled when one of her fingers dipped into the waist of his pants, brushing against the coarse hairs there. Liz felt her nipples tighten at the heat that radiated from him. Unable to resist any longer, she worked diligently at unbuttoning his jeans. Once she had accomplished that task, she captured the zipper and carefully lowered it over his pulsating member. As always, he wasn’t wearing any underwear. She smiled, loving the easy access. She noticed that their speed had reached a slow coax.

“Oh god” he moaned, as her hand encased his rod and she began to stroke him through her soft hand.

“Pull over” Liz whispered huskily in his ear. Max could only nod, his voice stuck in his throat. Seeing a small clearing on the side of the rode, he pulled them over. The minute the bike stopped, he turned so that he could capture her lips between his own. Liz let him control the kiss for the moment. She felt his hands slide under her jacket, caressing her sides. All the time, her hand hadn’t stopped its movements on his member.

“God baby” he moaned against her lips as his palms encountered her tight nipples, straining against the tiny tank top she was wearing. He pulled the tiny material up along with her bra to expose her soft mounds. He lowered his head, fully intent on sucking her beautiful peaks into his mouth. But before he could reach his task, Liz captured his head.

“What is it” he asked confused?

Liz shook her head. “Nothing...I just want to do this...turn back around” she ordered softly. Max did as commanded. Liz resumed her ministrations, stroking the length of him. God she loved the feel of him. The hardness encased in smooth satin. She could never get tired of running her hands over his gorgeous body. Never get tired of watching him crumble under her touch. Using her free hand, she ran it under his shirt, pushing slightly on his chest, encouraging him to lean back against her.

“You are so beautiful” she cooed against his ear as her hand pumped him. She dipped her tongue in his ear, biting seductively on his earlobe.

“Liz” he gurgled, feeling himself growing closer to the edge. He gripped her thighs tightly.

“You know what’s even more beautiful” she purred?

“W-what?” he croaked out.

“Watching your face as you cum for me” she gave his sacks a firm squeeze, and felt him tense against her.

“Liizz” he ground out as his orgasm ripped thru him. Liz held him close as his hips jerked spasmodically against her hand. Once his movements died down, she kissed him gently on the neck.

“I love you” she whispered. Max turned his head so he could place a tender kiss on her lips.

“I love you too babe” he sat up, noticing the mess he caused on the front of his jeans and his bike. “Damn” he mumbled, stepping off the bike. Shrugging out of his jacket he tossed it toward a giggling Liz, smacking her in the face.

“Hey” she pouted, laying it behind her. She watched him strip off his shirt, leaving him in just his A-shirt. She moaned, rubbing her thighs together at the display of muscles peaking out from under that tiny shirt. Using his shirt, Max cleaned himself and his bike of his spilled seeds before tossing the dirty shirt in some nearby shrubs. After relieving himself in said shrubs, he turned around to the most sexiest sight ever. Liz had scooted forward on the bike, her leather pants hugging her tightly as her tank top exposed her tanned midriff.

“Hop on, I’m pretty sure Michael and Maria are wondering what happened to us” she winked. Max grinned widely. Throwing his leg over the bike, he climbed on behind her.

“Have I ever told you how damn sexy you are when you’re straddling my bike” he licked her neck before blowing his warm breath against it. He smirked when she shivered in his arms. “Come on, lets go” he coaxed. He wrapped his large hands around her waist and scooted close. Liz felt him hardening against her backside and wiggled against it.

“Stop it” he managed through tight jaws. Liz only giggled before bringing the bike to life, she pulled back onto the highway. Max smiled proudly as she handled his bike with ease. He had begun teaching her last Christmas. She had caught on quickly, and sometimes they would have little spats about who was going to drive. Secretly though, Max liked when she drove. He liked any excuse to have her wrapped in his arms. They hadn’t driven far when they saw Michael and Maria pulled off on the side of the rode kissing.

“It’s about time” Michael smirked as Liz pulled the bike beside them.

“We thought the two of you may have gotten lost or driven off a cliff somewhere” Maria teased, noticing the blush on Liz’s cheeks.

“Damn Liz, you look hot as hell” Michael commented, earning him an elbow in the stomach from Maria and a death glare from Max.

“What? I’m just saying” he raised his hands in surrender.

“Get on the bike asshole” Maria glared as she climbed on. Michael shrugged before climbing on after her.

“Hey” he said turning towards her, “How come you never straddle my hog like that?”

~~~~~~~~~

“What the hell is he doing here” Kyle mumbled as he saw the four of them pull up? He shifted Tanya, his latest fling, in his lap. He took a swig of his beer, eyeing Liz the whole time as they made their way over. He wondered what the hell she saw in Evans anyways. It wasn’t like he was captain of any teams or had a 4.0 GPA like himself. The only thing the guy had was a rap sheet three miles long and a bad rep. He was a hoodlum as his father called him, and headed nowhere.

“Maxwell” Alex slurred as he stumbled past them.

“Whoa there buddy,” Max laughed, catching him before he landed on his butt.

“Does Isabel know you’re plastered” Michael asked. Isabel was their sister, the Ice Queen of Roswell. She and Alex had been dating since elementary school. Alex was a cool person, a little on the nerdy side, but he had managed to win Isabel over, so that earned him an A+ in Michael’s book.

“Issy...Isabel...my Issybit...she’s mad at me” he stuttered out with an uncaring shrug “She’s around here somewhere with her nose in the air” he laughed at his own joke before collapsing in Max’s arms.

“Help me get him to the jeep so he can sleep it off” Max said. He and Michael carried him over to jeep and deposited him in the back seat were he curled up like a baby and began snoring.

“So when are you going to dump that zero Evans and get with a real man” Kyle purred against her ear, his hands resting on her hips. Liz stood in front of the cooler getting the others some beers. She rolled her eyes at him, and stepped out of his grasp, knowing that he was drunk.

“Kyle, I’ve told you...I have a real man. One that I love very much” she stated. Turning back towards the cooler, she searched for a Budweiser...Max’s favorite.

“Evans” he snorted, “he’s nothing but trouble...my dad’s just waiting for him to screw up again so that he can lock him up for good” he said snidely, invading her personal space once again.

“Your father’s an ass Kyle” she bit out. She hated the fact that everyone was so quick to down Max. Kyle didn’t take offense to her words. Hell, he thought his dad was an ass also.

“Ah, come on Lizzie...don’t be that way” he said, pulling her firmly against him.

“Kyle let go of me” she demanded, struggling against his hold.

“Not until you give me a kiss...just one little kiss” before he knew what was happening, Kyle was ripped away from Liz and a solid fist connected with his jaw. Max stood over him, fire burning in his eyes.

“Don’t you ever put your hands on her again” he growled, clutching and un-clutching his fist.

“Fuck you Evans” Kyle bit out as he struggled to stand up. He licked his lip, tasting the blood there. “Liz is a big girl...why don’t we let her choose” he winked at Liz, edging Max on. By now they had gained the attention of everyone and a crowd had gathered around them.

“She’s already made her choice asswipe” Maria sneered. She hated Kyle Valenti with a passion. Every since his dad arrested her mom a few years back. He always thought he was better then everyone else since his dad was the Sheriff. She didn’t understand why he and his lackeys didn’t stay on their side of town. Kyle went to East Roswell High, the land of the do-gooders. But no matter how much money they had, West Roswell always wiped the floor with them during homecoming.

“Hey Mikey, why don’t you put a muzzle on your girl” Tony Pinkerton laughed, “Better yet, I have something that will definitely fill her mouth” the rest of Kyle’s lackeys laughed watching Tony grab his crotch. Michael stepped forward, ready to pound him into ground beef. He only made it a few steps when Max grabbed his arm.

“Maxwell, what the hell” he growled.

“Chill out” he turned back to Kyle. “Why don’t you and your rejects go back under the rock you crawled out from under” the only reason Max hadn’t beat the crap out of him yet was because he knew how dirty Kyle was. He wasn’t worried about his buddies jumping in because he knew Michael and them had his back. No, he knew Kyle had a weapon on him, much like himself, but he wasn’t going to risk Liz getting hurt. He could wait when she wasn’t around to take care of Kyle.

“The only reject around here Evans is you” Kyle stepped forward, aching for Max to take the bait. Max was losing his patience fast.

“Max” Liz stepped between them, placing a calming hand on his chest. Max tore his eyes from Kyle’s and looked down into her big doe eyes. Liz pushed him back slightly before stepping up to Kyle. Kyle sent a triumphing grin towards Max.

“Kyle” she purred, running her hand up his arm. Kyle stared at her lips as he leaned down to taste her. Seeing his dazed look, Liz raised her knee and slammed it into his nuts. He landed hard against the ground, coughing and wheezing.

She leaned down low, “If you ever grab me like that again...remember, I have two knees” she pushed his head into the gravel and stepped into Max’s strong embrace.

“Remind me never to get on your bad side” he joked, kissing her on the forehead. “Come on...lets go dance” he pulled her over to the clearing were several other couples were dancing to the small portable tape player. Everyone that was anyone hung out at ‘The Spot.” The Spot was actually the old quarry. During the summer days it was filled with families as they swam and had picnics, but at night, once the sun went down, it became the popular teen hangout. There would be booze, music and heavy make-outs. Since the quarry was a public place, it was available for everyone, West Roswell and East Roswell. Kyle ruled East Roswell and Max West. The two were always at war, but they agreed that the Spot was mutual grounds.

“I swear, one of these days, I’m going to bring Evans down” Kyle gritted out as he watched Max and Liz dance slowly. His buddies all nodding their heads in agreement.

“Hey Max” Michael called his brother. They weren’t actually brothers, but when Michael was ten, his mom and dad died in a car accident, and the Evans took him in, raising him as their own. He moved out last year into his own place, stating he needed more space. He had offered Max the spare room whenever he and his dad got into it. Max pulled Liz along as he made his way over to the group. He sat down on a boulder, pulling her into his lap.

“What’s up” he took a swallow of his beer before Liz took it and downed the rest.

“Ole Benny here just bet me fifty bucks that his hunk of junk could beat Lucille” Lucille was Max’s bike. He and Michael had rebuilt the 1977 Harley XLCR Café Racer a year ago. Max’s grandfather had willed it to him when he died three years prior, but Phillip Evans refused to help Max fix it up, especially since Max had grew rebellious. So Max had found the money other ways and finally was able to fix her up. Besides Liz, he loved his bike more then anything.

“Well I got a hundred that says that you’ll be eating my dust” Max smirked, pulling the money out of his wallet. Benny turned to his buddies where they shared a few words before he turned back to him.

“You’re on.”

“Hell yeah” Michael shouted. He jumped up, pulling Maria with him. Placing two fingers in his mouth, he let out a loud whistle. “The Strip in ten” he called out. Everyone knew what that meant...a race was about to go down. Everyone raced to their cars or bikes, heading for the old back-road.

Slight adult moment ahead

Chapter 2

“Alright, everyone place your bets” Michael ordered as he walked around the crowd collecting money. He stopped last at Max and Benny who handed over their money. Michael handed the money to Liz who slipped it between her breasts.

“How come she gets to hold the money” Benny protested?

“Because I trust her” was all Max said. He climbed onto his bike and Benny did the same. Liz stepped up to him and pulled his face down for a scorching kiss.

“For luck” she smiled, licking at her lips.

“Hey, I don’t get one” Benny teased?

“In your dreams” Liz grinned.

“Hey, back off my girl and be prepared to eat dust Winkle” Benny flipped him off playfully before revving his engine.

“Alright gentleman,” Isabel shouted as she stood between the two bikes. Her tall statue dressed in a low cut shirt and a knee length skirt. “First off, rules. First person to the old soap factory wins. There will be no whining from the loser, and the winner walks away with the honeypot. Do I make myself clear” she looked between them, and they revved their bikes in answer. “Good” Michael handed her his bandana. “Alright, on the count of three...ONE...TWO...THREE” she dropped the rag and grabbed the tails of her skirt as they flew past her. The crowd cheered as they ran behind the two bikes.

Benny gloated inwardly as he took the lead. He knew his baby could beat Max’s bitch any day of the week. He could see the Soap factory up ahead, and knew that stash was his. Max just let him go. He’ll let him have his little moment. He could tell he was using all his power, while Lucille was only using half of her fire. Deciding he had let him think he was going to win long enough, he switched gears and Lucille roared like a lioness. Benny looked to his left to see Max riding right beside him. Max sent him a toothy grin before giving him the finger and speeding off.

“Damn” he cursed as he watched Max get smaller and smaller.

“What took you so long” Max asked once Benny pulled up in front of the factory.

“Fuck you” he pouted.

“Hey, don’t pout” Max chuckled, “Maybe you should stick to racing your little sister on her tricycle, and leave the real racing to us men” he slapped him on the back good naturally.

“Ah man, that was classic” Michael said as the two of them pounded fist. Everyone went around and congratulated Max and collecting their winnings. Max barely had time to catch himself before Liz’s small body crashed into his. Max wrapped his arms around her waist, spinning her around as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

“Way to go baby” she exclaimed excitedly before crashing her lips to his. Max placed his hands on her butt, kneading her soft cheeks in his large hands.

“God I want you so bad” he mumbled against her lips, his teeth nibbling on her bottom lip. Her only response was a low growl in her throat.

“Hey” Michael said coming up beside them. Max reluctantly released Liz’s lips, letting her slide down his body.

“What” he bit out?

“Whoa, calm down man. I just wanted my cut” Liz giggled when Max reached into her shirt while whispering something in her ear. Max counted out Michael’s half and tossed it to him.

“Listen, Maria and I are going to head out” he winked.

“Don’t forget to be home before my parents wake up” Liz called after their retreating forms. Isabel said her goodbyes as well. She was heading to Alex’s. His parents were away at the same business affair as theirs.

“So Mr. Evans...I remember you saying something about wanting me” Liz teased, running her fingers suggestively over his chest. Max groaned, capturing her tiny hand in his. Liz couldn’t contain her girlish giggles as he grew all caveman and tossed her over his shoulder, sprinting toward his bike.

~~~~~~~~

“Max?” Liz’s small voice penetrated the stillness of the room. They had gone back to his place were they had made love twice before exhausting lazily against each other in a sweaty mess of limbs.

“Yeah” he answered as his fingers ran through her hair.

“What are you going to do now that you’ve graduated” she questioned? Max was two years older then Liz and had recently graduated a week prior. He had always planned to leave Roswell once he graduated, and she feared that he would leave her behind. They hadn’t talked much about it, but it was always weighing heavily on her chest. Always nagging in the back of her mind. As if reading her mind, he captured her fingers that were drawing absently over his naked chest. He gripped her bottom and positioned her so that she was straddling his hips. Liz avoided making eye contact with him. Instead she focused on his left nipple.

“Liz, look at me” he cupped her face between his hands, willing her to look at him. Once she finally made eye contact, he brought her down for a sweet kiss. “I’m not going anywhere without you” he vowed. “As soon as you graduate, we’re getting out of here like we’ve always planned. I’m going to make you my wife and spend the rest of my life loving you” Liz laid her head against his chest as his strong arms wrapped around her protectively.

“You promise” she whispered?

“On my life” he returned, running his hands over her back. Liz looked over to the clock on his night stand which read 2:15. She had at least another hour before she had to be home in order to get a little sleep in before her early shift. She wished she could stay right were she was, wrapped in his loving arms, but she was already threading on thin ice with her parents, and she didn’t want her father to have any excuse to go after Max. A sexy smiled graced her lips, as she wiggled her hips downward. Max hissed as her wet center came in contact with his throbbing head.

“I love you” he whispered before gripping her hips and positioning her over him. Liz slid over him with fluency. Her warm walls engulfing him as his fingers dug painfully into her thighs.

“Oh yeah baby” he coaxed as he aided her movements above him. He cupped her breast, pinching her nipples between his fingers.

“Max” she wailed, tossing her head back in ecstacy. Max loved to hear her call out his name in the heat of passion. Noone would guess that she was a wildcat in the sack...his wildcat.

“That’s it Babygirl...ride what’s yours” he planted his feet firmly against the mattress, meeting her thrust for thrust. Their rhythm was in perfect sync, as she slammed down on him and he arched up to meet her. “C’mere” he coerced, pulling her flat against him. Her nipples kissing his, as he searched out her lips desperately. Sweat dripped from her forehead as they lay nose to nose, chest to chest.

“Max...oh god Max...you feel so...so good” she moaned as he continued to spear into her. Max gave her bottom a light smack, before rubbing away any pain he might have caused. “I’m so close” she grunted. Hearing her words, Max flipped them over, bringing her legs to rest in the crook of his elbows as he rocked into her. Liz gripped his forearms, feeling him as he touched her soul. She brushed aside his sweaty tress’, cupping his beautiful face as it curled up in tight concentration. He slid out so that only his head remained in her heat, before slamming back home.

“Max” Liz shuttered with pleasure as her orgasm sliced through her. The feel of her walls pulsating around him, sent Max over the edge, and he shot his seeds into her welcoming walls.

“Damn I love you” he panted as he released her legs and collapsed above her.

“I love you too” she kissed his damp forehead, running her hands along his muscular back. They shared a kiss before snuggling up together.

~~~~~~~~~~

“Will I see you tomorrow,” Liz asked hopefully as they stood outside on her balcony?

“Of course. You know I can’t go a day without seeing my Babygirl” he smiled, playing with a strand of her hair. Liz smiled, leaning forward to brush her lips against his and he wrapped her in his embrace.

“I better go” she whispered reluctantly.

“Yeah” he agreed, but neither one of them made a move. Max cupped her face, kissing her hard before finally letting her go.

“Goodnight Max” she smiled as she backed up toward her window.

“Everything’s everything Babygirl” he replied tossing a sly grin at her. Liz rolled her eyes at his saying. He had been saying it to her every since they’ve been together. She didn’t know what the hell it meant, but it became their own little phrase and a smile would always light her face when he said it.

“Everything’s everything Max” she watched as he climbed over the balcony, his dark head disappeared over the ledge. With a happy sigh, Liz climbed through her window.

“Ouch” Maria winced, startling Liz.

“Sorry” she whispered. She made her way fully into the room, undressing in the dark. “What are you doing here anyways, I wasn’t expecting you for another hour” Liz slid on her nightgown and crawled into bed.

“Michael’s an ass” was all she said before burrowing deeper into her sleeping bag. Liz smiled slightly, knowing that the two of them would be in a heavy lip lock tomorrow. Slipping under her covers, Liz closed her eyes with a smile on her face as she hoped for happy dreams of Max.

Chapter 3

“Well, what do we have here” Sheriff Valenti smiled condescendingly as he walked up to the group? Max rolled his eyes before standing up and turning toward him. Michael, Alex and Benny all standing behind him.

“Sheriff” Max returned coolly as he leaned against his bike. Valenti stared through his shades at him. He hated Max Evans. The boy was nothing but a punk who loved to ruffle his feathers.

“Lets see . . . we have illegal gambling, underage drinking, loitering . . . ” he sniffed the air, “ . . . and is that pot I’m smelling” he smiled knowingly, this was exactly what he was looking for to bust Max’s ass. “You know I can run you boys in for this . . . ” he walked slowly in front of them, tapping his chin as if in deep thought. “You know, I’m feeling generous today boys . . . ” he smirked. Throughout his little speech, Max stood calmly, his arms folded loosely across his chest. “I’m going to let you three off with a warning” he said turning to Michael, Benny and Alex, “you . . . ” he pointed to Max, “ . . . on the other hand will be taking a ride” he grabbed Max by the collar, slamming him onto the hood of his truck. He twisted his arm behind his back as he pressed Max’s face against the hot hood.

“This is bullshit” Michael protested angrily.

“Yeah . . . that’s fucked up Sheriff and you know it” Benny retorted knowing that they were witnessing police brutality.

“I suggest you boys run along, before I have a change of heart” he sneered. Neither of them moved. “I said get out of here” he shouted. Again, they stood firmly. Out the corner of his eyes, Max saw Michael look at him uncertainly.

“Go” Max ordered. The three boys stared at Max, wishing there was someway they could help him. “I’ll catch up with you later” Michael nodded, pulling Benny and Alex toward their bikes. Once they were gone, the sheriff swung Max around, slamming him into the side of the truck.

“Nice job Sheriff” Max smirked, “who knew an old country hick like you had that kind of strength” he laughed. Jim’s face grew hot with anger, and he slammed his fist into Max’s stomach.

“Now you listen to me you little shit” he leaned down to where Max had fallen, “you think you run this town . . . but guess what, this is my town, and I’m not going to let some little fuck up like you think otherwise. I want you out my town Evans by the end of the week.”

“Fuck you” Max bit out, earning him a swift kick in the stomach.

“You see Evans, that’s where you’re wrong. The only one fucked here is you. You either leave town or I’ll make your life a living hell” he promised. “You won’t even be able to take a piss without me watching . . . ”

“Didn’t know you swung that way Sheriff” Max chuckled, not at all affected by his threats. He let out a small groan as the Sheriff’s steel toe boot once again collided with his side.

“I can do this all day . . . ” Jim shrugged as he picked absently at his fingernails, “but, I have better things to do beside wipe the floor with shit like you” He adjusted his shades, and for the hell of it kicked Max again. “End of the week Max” he said as he slid into his truck. Max struggled to his hands and knees, wincing when pain shot through his side.

“Shit” he huffed out. Suddenly arms wrapped under his arms, and he was pulled to his feet.

“You alright man” Michael asked, placing his arm around his waist for support?

“I thought I told you to get out of here” he said even though his voice held no heat.

“Yeah, well, I don’t trust the sheriff as far as I could throw him” Michael ground out in disgust. “It’s a good thing I came back . . . I saw what that bastard did to you. I swear, one of these days . . . ”

“Stay out of it Mikey . . . this is between him and me” Max demanded.

“But . . . ”

“But nothing . . . I can handle the Sheriff” Michael wanted to protest, but thought better of it. He knew Max was stubborn and there was no use arguing with him when he’s like this. He helped his friend on the back of his bike.

“Michael I can’t leave Lucille here” Max protested trying to climb off the bike.

“Chill out Maxwell. I’ll send Alex and Benny back for her.”

“Hell no, neither one of them knows how to handle her” he pouted.

“Fine, then I’ll come back for her” Michael grunted revving his engine and taking off.

~~~~~~~~~

“Where are you going” Liz resisted the urge to roll her eyes at her father’s question?

“Out with Maria” she lied. She opened the door, only to have him call her name.

“Just a minute, your mother and I want to talk to you.”

“Can’t it wait . . . Maria’s waiting for me” she whined?

“Maria can wait, this is important” he motioned for her to have a seat across for where her mother was sitting on the sofa.

“What’s up guys” she asked impatiently? Nancy stared up at her husband who cleared his throat before beginning.

“Your mother and I received your grades the other day . . . ”

“And to say, we weren’t very pleased with them” Nancy continued. Liz groaned. She knew that her grades had slipped some, but it wasn’t like she couldn’t get them back up.

“Mom, dad, I know you’re upset, but trust me I just had a bad semester . . . next semester I’ll do better” she promised.

“That’s good to hear Liz, but to ensure you don’t have anymore bad semesters, your mother and I have decided that you will finish out the rest of your schooling in Florida with your Aunt Sally” Jeff finished.

“WHAT!” she jumped up from the chair, staring at the two of them in disbelief. “You can’t do that.”

“Yes, we can. We’re not stupid Liz. We know you’ve been sneaking behind our backs to frolic around with that roughneck Evans” Liz’s face portrayed the guilt of his accusation. “I won’t stand by and let him bring you down like him.”

“He’s not” she defended.

“Really, your grades are slipping, you’ve been late for your shift four times this week . . . that is if you even show up at all . . . ” Nancy raised an eyebrow at her.

“You can’t make me go” she bit out.

“You watch your tone young lady . . . and you’re our daughter, and you will go . . . end of discussion. Your aunt’s expecting you in two weeks.”

“I hate you” she cried, storming out the door.

“Elizabeth!” Jeff called after her.

“Let her go” Nancy placed a hand on his forearm, “she’ll see, this is for her own good” Jeff nodded, knowing that they were making the right decision.

~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hey” Michael greeted as he opened the door revealing Maria and Liz. He wrapped his arms around Maria’s waist, planting a heated kiss on her. Liz quickly excused herself as they got wrapped up in one another. She spotted Alex and Benny on the couch, and said a quick hello before walking toward the back where she knew Max was. She was still angry over the conversation she had with her parents, and just wanted to be wrapped up in his arms.

However, when she pushed opened the door to the spare room, she hadn’t been expecting the sight before her. Max was sitting on the edge of the bed shirtless as Isabel kneeled in front of him wrapping his torso in a heavy gauze.

“What happened” her anger gone as she immediately rushed to his side, pushing Isabel out of the way? She ran a hand over his side, seeing the ugly black and purple bruise that peeked out from under the gauze.

“Nothing” he answered, sending a glare his sisters way when she was about to protest.

“Nothing,” Liz gawked, removing the bandage to reveal the massive bruise on his side. “You call this nothing” tears sprung to her eyes as her fingers touched them gently. She looked up when he inhaled sharply. “What happened” she demanded? Max looked toward Isabel who got his message loud and clear.

“I’ll just . . . go” she whispered before slinking out the room, closing the door behind her.

“Max?” Max knew that there was no use lying to her. Liz cupped his face, stroking his cheeks gently.

“It’s nothing really. The sheriff just wanted me to see things his way” he shrugged.

“The Sheriff! Sheriff Valenti did this to you?”

“Liz . . . calm down” he grabbed her flailing hands, pulling her to sit down beside him.

“Calm down . . . Max, why would he do something like this” she cried, placing her soft hand on his smarted side.

“Because he can” he shrugged. Liz shook her head.

“No, no he can’t. You have to tell someone about this . . . you have to tell your father. He’s a lawyer . . . he has to be able to help” she pleaded.

“No!” Max stated firmly. He stood up carefully, picking up his discard shirt and walking to the window.

“Why not Max . . . you can’t let him get away with this.”

“Liz just drop it . . . he won’t help,” he sighed, “He’s written me off just like everyone else in this town has” Liz could hear the hurt in his voice and her anger for the people in this town grew ten folds. Sure he had been in some trouble . . . and had a thing with authority, but he also had a big heart. He loved his sister to no end, would protect her with his life. It had been him that helped Michael get money for his security deposit for his apartment, paid his rent when he lost his job when his work schedule began to conflict with his schooling. Benny, even though he was constantly trying to compete with Max, Max took him under his wing . . . rescuing him from a stepfather that used him as a punching bag when he was drunk. He visited the local orphanage three times a week for story time and during Christmas played Santa, bring light to a usually gloomy place. But no one took heed to those things, they had already exiled him . . . written him off.

Liz placed a tender hand on his shoulder, before sliding it down his arm where she entwined their fingers. “I haven’t” she whispered, placing a loving kiss on his bare shoulder blade. Max looked down at her, and Liz inhaled sharply at the tears she saw kissing his cheeks. She had only seen Max cry once before three years ago when his grandfather died. “C’mere” She instructed, leading him over to the bed. She climbed on first, biting her bottom lip when she watched his face contour in pain as he climbed on beside her. He buried his face in her stomach and cried. Liz held him as he clung to her, tunneling her fingers through his raven hair. She whispered softly to him as he rode out his emotions.

“Do you think any of them are broken” Liz asked some time later after his tears had subsided? She was now wrapping his side back up as he stared down at her.

“Nah, just a little tender” he assured, “I should be good as new in a few days” he smiled. Liz nodded, returning to her task. Max ran his hand through her dark tress, loving the way it flowed through his fingers like fine silk. He didn’t know where he would be today if it hadn’t been for the small slip of a girl sitting before him. He had been in a bad place when his grandfather died. He had already grown rebellious, but when his grandfather died, the only person that truly knew him, Max didn’t know how to handle it. He didn’t know her all that well back then, just that her name was Liz and her parents owned The Dive. He would see her around the diner sometimes, laughing with her friends. She had happened to walk up on him when he had been sitting at the park after the funeral, and he had been crying.

“Are you okay” she asked tentatively? Max looked up startled. He quickly wiped at his tears.

“I’m fine” he answered, not wanting to be caught crying like a baby.

“Are you sure? Because if you need someone to talk to . . . I’m a great listener” she smiled, sitting down beside him in the grass. Max could only stare into her eyes, seeing the sincerity there. Suddenly he felt like he could tell her anything and a slow smile graced his lips. He reached over and captured her hand in his, shocking the both of them.

“Everything’s everything Liz”


She was the silver lining to the dark cloud that was his life. There was nothing in the world that he wouldn’t do for her, which was why what he was about to do tore at his heart.

“Liz” he gripped her hands in his, willing her to look at him. She looked up with a loving smile. “I think you should go to Florida” she had told him about her fight with her parents. He had only listened as she talked, not commenting at all.

“What! Max no, I’m not going anywhere without you” she stated adamantly.

“Maybe your parents are right . . . maybe I am a bad influence on you. How come you didn’t tell me that your grades were slipping” he admonished.

“Because I knew you would blame yourself like you’re doing now.” Max looked away, guilt stamped all over his face.

“Still, maybe it would be better for you . . . to get away from me” he whispered, swallowing the lump in his throat.

“Max” she cupped his face between her hands, placing a sweet kiss over his lips. “I’m not going anywhere without you” she returned the words he had spoken to her days prior. “We’ll run away before I let them separate us” she vowed. “I love you Max Evans, and nothing or no one is going to take you from me . . . understand” Max smiled slightly, loving her even more.

“Understood” he scooted back on the bed, leaning against the headboard. He held open his arms in invitation and Liz immediately lay against his chest, careful not to aggravate his side.

“I love you Liz” he whispered as he kissed her crown.

“I love you too Max . . . always.”

adult moment ahead........


Chapter 4

Max smiled as she let out a soft moan. He continued to place lazy kisses over her nude body. God he loved her body. She was so soft and smooth. He could spend hours just running his hands over her . . . kissing her.

“What do you think of New York” he asked casually, his tongue lavishing her navel?

“New York?” why the hell was he talking about New York when he was so close to where she needed him the most, she thought to herself.

“Yeah” he kissed lower pressing his lips against the soft downy that covered her treasure, “I thought . . . ” he spread her legs apart, kissing the inside of her thighs, “ . . . that once you graduate . . . ” his fingers spread her delicate flower petals, he blew softly on her tiny pleasure button, swelling harder as she shivers beneath him, “ . . . we can run away to New York and get married . . . ” he began to rub lazy circles over her clitoris, watching her face contour in pleasure, “ . . . would you Liz . . . would you runaway with me . . . become my wife . . . ” he swiped his tongue over her moist center, loving the zesty taste of her.

“Oh God yes . . . yes Max” her fingers pulled frantically at his long raven locks to keep him in place. Max continued to lap at her core, unable to deny her sensual cries. Liz rocked and rolled her hips against his face, nearly crawling out of her skin when his tongue invaded her, twirling skillfully inside her. Max felt her thighs quiver around his neck, and knew that she was close. He sucked her hard nub into his mouth, flicking his tongue over it before sucking on it with a vengeance. He slid two of his long fingers into her slick heat.

“Mmm” he hummed, sending a vibration straight through her. Liz bit her fist to conceal the cries of pleasure that erupted with her orgasm.

“Max . . . please . . . I-I . . . Max . . . ” her hand searched out his, and Max instantly clasped onto it. He crawled up the bed, shedding his boxers on his way. Liz captured his face, bringing his lips down over hers.

“Inside Max . . . I need you inside me” she moaned, nibbling at his lips before sucking his tongue deep into the cavern of her mouth. Max nodded, trailing his hands between their drenched bodies.

“Damn Babygirl . . . you’re soaked” he moaned as her wetness coated his hand as he guided his huge member to her folds that engulfed him like quicksand. Max thrust into her slowly, enjoying the husky sounds she made as she arched against him. Max entwined their hands, bringing them to rest beside her head as he leaned over and thrust his tongue deep into her mouth, mimicking the actions of their lower regions. It didn’t take long before the two lovers were trembling over the edge into wave after wave of ecstacy.

~~~~~~~~~

Kyle watched on as Max and his groupies continued to show off on the Strip. “I swear, Evans thinks he’s the shit...I would love to take him down a peg or two” he mumbled, watching as Liz fell all over Max.

“Yeah...I bet he couldn’t win if he didn’t have his precious Lucille” Tony spit out his tobacco, thinking of the money he had lost to Max Evans.

“Dude, could you spit that shit somewhere else” Kyle asked in annoyance.

“Sorry.”

“Whatever . . . but you’re right. Evans wouldn’t stand a chance without his bike” Kyle chewed absently on the toothpick in his mouth as his mind began to wonder.

~~~~~~~~~~

“Alright people . . . last race of the night . . . anty up” Michael announced, walking around collecting various bets. The crowd was hyped, as they all waited for Max to take to the Strip. Max didn’t disappoint his fans as he finished the night with yet another victory. It was amazing. Bikers from all around had come in hopes of beating Max and Lucille, only to return home with their tails between their legs.

“You were great tonight baby” Liz smiled, pulling him down for a lingering kiss. Max pulled her onto the bike, deepening the kiss.

“Evans” Kyle called. The crowd parted as he walked by. Max reluctantly pulled away from kissing Liz and turned glaring eyes on him.

“What the hell do you want” he asked, not hiding the disdain in his voice?

“Whoa” Kyle held up his hands, “I just wanted to say congrats.”

“Cut the shit Valenti” Michael folded his arms across his chest, “what do you want?”

Kyle shrugged, his smile fading, “Nothing really . . . just a race” he stated.

“Hasn’t Max whipped your ass enough already” Alex joked, causing Kyle to send him a glare?

“Anyways . . . like I was saying” he turned back to Max, “you and me Evans . . . Saturday . . . no holds barrel . . . at Point of No Return” Michael looked to Max with eagerness in his eyes. Point of No Return was a series of dangerous curves overlooking a deadly cliff. It was extremely dangerous and had claimed several lives. The roads had been closed down for that reason, save for a few truckers that used it doing their routes, the curves were usually deserted.

“I’m listening” Max replied coolly, “name the stakes” Kyle knew he couldn’t resist.

“They’re simple really. If I win . . . I get Lucille . . . ”

“And when I win” Max asked cockily.

Kyle turned to Tony, who placed a wad of cash in his hand. “I got two thousand bucks here . . . if you win . . . it’s yours” Max and Michael shared a look. “Of course . . . ” Kyle began, breaking into their silent conversation, “there are some ground rules . . . ” Max didn’t say anything, just nodded for him to continue.

“We go old school . . . dirt bikes all the way . . . no amped up powers . . . no fancy gadgets . . . what do you say Evans . . . you down?” He raised an eyebrow at him. Michael pulled Max over to the side.

“Max, this is easy money. Valenti’s an ass, there’s no way he could win . . . we pull my old bike out the storage . . . dust her off, and we got this” Max listened as Michael talked. He knew Kyle didn’t have a chance, and he could use the money so when he and Liz left, they would have some change in their pockets.

“What do you say Evans? You scared” Kyle coerced, “too afraid that I’d whipped your ass and out you for the bitch you are” Max placed a restraining against Michael’s chest.

“Don’t worry Valenti I’ll be there . . . you just make sure you have my money” with that said, Max placed Liz over his bike before riding off. The crowd quickly dispersed after that, leaving Kyle and his gang behind.

“I hope you know what you’re doing” Tony said as he stood beside Kyle watching as Max and the others rode off.

“Don’t worry . . . I don’t plan on losing” Kyle answered cryptically.

Warning...


Chapter 5

“Wait,” Max paused at the door. “Close your eyes,” he instructed.

“What?” Liz smiled, noticing the glint in his eyes.

“Please,” he pouted when she seemed reluctant to do as he requested.

“What are you up to Max Evans?” her smiled growing wider as she closed her eyes.

“It’s a surprise,” he whispered huskily against her ear. Taking her hand in his, he lead her inside the apartment. He let go of her hand briefly and left her side. Liz was just about to ask him what he was doing when his warm breath tickled her neck. “Okay . . . you can open your eyes now,” Liz opened her eyes and gasped.

“Oh Max!” she said in awe. Red and white rose petals covered the living room floor. There was a blanket laying in the middle a picnic basket resting on top of it. The lights were dim and candles adorned the room, casting dancing shadows across the walls. Soft music that she hadn’t paid much attention to earlier, played softly in the background.

“You like it?” he asked hopefully. He wraps his arms around her waist, pulling her firmly against him. Liz turned in his arms. Standing on her tippy-toes, she cupped his cheek.

“I love it . . . it’s beautiful,” she placed a tender kiss on his lips. “When did you do all this?” she asked, knowing he had spent the whole day with her. Max smiled shyly, scratching his eyebrow.

“Well, Maria and Isabel helped,” he admitted. “Come on,” he kissed her softly before capturing her hand and leading her over to the blanket. He sat down, holding out his hand to her. With gentle care, he removed her sandals and gently rubbed her feet before bringing them to his lips and placing tiny kisses over each of her perfectly manicured toes. Liz giggled slightly from his gentle caresses on her arch.

“Let’s see what my sister packed for us,” he smiled. Opening up the picnic basket, Max sorted through the food Isabel had repaired. Together they sat and had a light dinner of fruit, cheese and crackers. Max watched as Liz bit into the ripe strawberry, mesmerized as its juices drizzled down her chin.

“Come here,” he grabbed her around the waist, positioning her so that she straddled his lap. Liz crossed her legs behind his back, loving the feel of him against her. “You have a little juice right there,” he leaned and ran his tongue over her chin. Liz moaned as he continued his journey and began suckling on her collarbone. She groaned in disappointment when he didn’t continue his assault. Max smirked, knowing what she had expected.

“Patience Babygirl,” he kisses her nose before reaching into the picnic basket and pulling out a cupcake with a candle in it.

“Max . . . ” she whispered softly, watching as he lit the candle and proceeded to sing Happy Birthday to her. Liz listened to his silky voice in admiration, and when he was finished, she had tears running down her cheeks.

“Make a wish,” he coaxed. Liz closed her eyes and made a wish before blowing out the candle. “What did you wish for?” he asked, removing the candle from the cupcake.

“Uh huh,” she smiled cheekily, “if I tell you, then it won’t come true.”

“Ahh, come on. You’re not going to tell me?” his fingers inched up her shirt. Liz’s eyes widened when she realized what his intentions were, but it was too late and he began tickling her.

“Max!” she shrieked, wiggling in his lap trying to get away from his torturous fingers.

“Tell me,” he wiggled his eyebrows, not letting up one iota. Soon she was lying on her back with him hovering above her. He held her hands above her head with one hand as the other continued its ministrations.

“Okay...okay,” she squeaked out. Max raised an eyebrow at her before stopping his actions. He didn’t release her hands in case she wanted to retaliate.

“I wished...” she started, trying to catch her breath. “I wished to spend my entire life with you,” she spoke with pure love. Max felt his heart swell. Max brought his hand up and linked their fingers together.

“One day Liz...one day I’m going to make all your wishes come true. If it takes the rest of my days...I’m going to spend them making sure that you’re happy and loved...I love you Liz.”

“Max...I love you too...and as long as I have you...my wishes have already been granted.” Max covered her lips with his for a sensual kiss which soon grew more passionate as they portrayed the love they held for each other. Their clothes were soon discarded and Max took his time as he stared at her body in the candlelight.

“Happy 17th Birthday Babygirl,” he whispered as he slid into her welcoming walls. Promises of eternal love trembled past their lips as they climaxed together.

~~~~~~~~~~

The bottom of the Point was packed Saturday evening as everyone gathered to watch the big race. Kyle stood on the side, watching as Max, Michael and Alex unloaded Max’s bike from the truck. He had a conniving smile upon his face, one that caused his friends to look on in question. Everyone except Tony.

“You ready to eat dirt?” Benny laughed as he walked up to Kyle. Kyle’s only response was a sly flip of his middle finger.

“Come on,” he motioned for Tony to follow him. “Did you do like I said?” he asked once they were alone. Tony smiled, reaching into his pocket. He opened his hand and Kyle smile grew wider as he eyed the contents in his hand.

“Valenti,” Michael shouted at him. Tony quickly slipped the object back into his pocket as Michael approached them. “Let’s get this show on the road,” he said annoyed, hating the little prick standing before him.

“Sure thing Guerin.” Michael glared at him before walking off. Max shrugged off his jacket, handing it to Liz and she easily slipped it on.

“How about when I’m done here, I take you for a ride?” he suggested, wrapping his large hands around her waist.

“Mmm...and what type of ride did you have in mind Mr. Evans?” she teased sexually. Her fingers brushed over his left nipple hidden underneath his A-shirt. Max swallowed thickly as he felt himself tightening at her teasing.

“You’re such a bad girl. What am I going to do with you?” he swatted her butt playfully before slanting his mouth over hers.

“I love you,” she captured his lips between her own for a searing kiss that made her blood boil and her core quiver.

“Mmm,” Max groaned, positioning his large hand behind her head, holding her firmly against him.

“Hey, save that shit for later,” Michael pulled them apart, pushing Max towards his bike. Max laughed as he straddled the bike.

Looking over at Liz, he smiled wide. “I’ll see you at the bottom,” she waved. He returned it, with a sexy wink. He watched her climb into the truck with Alex and Maria. She blew him a kiss before the truck pulled off.

“Alright boys . . . you know the rules,” Isabel began, once everyone else had gone to the bottom. “First one to the bottom of the Point wins. The loser will walk away without complaining. Understood?” They revved their engines in answer. “Alright then . . . as always . . . on the count of three.” She raised her silk scarf. “One . . . ” Kyle looked over at Max, an arrogant smile playing over his lips. “Two . . . ” Max revved his engine. “Three . . . ” The scarf dropped to the ground, and the two bikes roared as they took off down the old dirt road. Isabel climbed on the back of Michael’s bike as they raced after the two bikes.

Kyle looked over at Max as he sped up beside him. Max smiled wide before raising an eyebrow at him before taking the lead. Kyle cursed, revving his bike harder, trying to catch up with him. Max handled the curves with ease. There was one last curve he had to tackle and it was The Drop. Many had lost their lives not knowing how to handle it, but Max wasn’t worried. He had tackled the curve plenty of times, and knew what he was doing. He handled the curve with ease, smiling in triumph as he saw the long stretch ahead of him, and the crowd of people awaiting his arrival.

Liz jumped down from Alex’s truck as she saw Max coming down the stretch, a wide grin plastered on her face. She cheered loudly along side Maria. Suddenly, everything seemed to move in slow motion as she watched Max’s bike go out of control and her cheers suddenly turned into cries of horror as she watched it flip several times, throwing him hard against the ground before pinning Max beneath it.

“OH MY GOD!” she vaguely heard Maria scream behind her as she took off in a dead run toward Max.

“Shit,” Benny and Alex cried as they scrambled out of the truck and followed Liz and Maria, the rest of the crowd following closely behind.

“Get it off him!” Liz cried at Michael when he and Isabel rode up, as she tried unsuccessfully to lift the bike off of Max. Alex, Michael and Benny quickly worked to get the bike off of him. Max moaned loudly when they lift the bike from his chest.

“Max,” Liz whispered softly as she cradled his head in her lap. She brushed his straggling bangs before letting her finger’s caress his cheek.

“L-Liz,” her name came out as a gurgle and Liz fought back hers tears at the pain that shot across his face.

“Shh, don’t try and talk, okay. Help is coming,” she assured him, rubbing her thumb across his bottom lip. Max shook his head, reaching up to wipe away a tear that she hadn’t even realized had escaped.

“I-I need t-to t-tell you,” his words were cut off when he started coughing violently. Liz felt the fear clutch her heart when she saw the blood sputter on his lips. Finally the coughing resided and he stared up at her through glazed over eyes. “I w-want . . . I want y-you to know . . . ” His breath was hitched with each word. “Th-that I l-love you B-Babygirl,” he sighed heavily once he finally got the words out.

“I love you too, Max,” she managed through her tears. She clutched his hand in hers, bringing it to her lips. She rubbed her cheek over the back of his hand as Max smiled, nodding slightly.

“I’m t-tired l-Liz,” he whispered. “So tired.”

“Max . . . Max,” she called to him when his eyes began to drift close. “Max, look at me . . . Max stay with me,” she pleaded, panic raising in her voice. Max’s eyes flutter open and she could see the light slowly leaving them.

“R-remember,” he cupped her cheek. “I’ll always love you,” his own tears dancing at the corners of his eyes before finally falling into the crevice of his ears. He knew help wouldn’t come quick enough. It was his time, he knew it. The only thing he had left to do was to make Liz realize it as well.

“No . . . NO!” she shouted at him. “You have to fight Max . . . you have to . . . I need you . . . You can’t do this to me,” she cried. “Y-you promised . . . you promised to stay with me forever . . . you can’t do this to me,” she choked, laying her head across his chest. “You promised,” she whispered brokenly. She felt his hand trail through her hair. Raising up, their eyes locked and he struggled hard to take in some much needed oxygen.

“Don’t c-cry . . . maybe I-I’ll make it to Heaven,” he tried to joke and she smiled weakly. “Everything’s everything Babygirl.” With that, Max closed his eyes, taking in his last breath.

“No . . . Max no,” she knew it was useless. He was gone from her forever. She laid her head over his heart and cried. She could hear Isabel crying softly beside her. Could hear Maria’s stricken cries as Michael tried to soothe her. But none of it mattered. The love of her life was gone. She would never see his smiling face again. Never feel his warm embrace. She could literally feel her heart breaking in a million pieces. How was she supposed to go on without him?

~~~~~~~~~

Liz stood numbly at the grave site, her parents flanking her side. Her eyes roamed as the preacher went on and on about God calling home his Angels. Alex was desperately trying to soothe a sobbing Isabel. Michael and Maria stood next to them, and from the looks of it, he wasn’t having much luck with calming her down either. Liz quickly looked away before her own emotions took over. She didn’t want to cry. Her eyes landed on Benny, who looked just about as lost as she felt. He looked up at her, offering her a sad smile, but she didn’t return it. Instead her eyes continued to roam. She came across the Evans and watched as Mr. Evans constantly sent worried glances at his wife.

When she had found out about Max, she had gone into complete hysterics. The doctors had to give her a sedative to calm her down. Maria had told her that when she and her mom had went by there the other day Mrs. Evans wasn’t doing so well. She was like a zombie as she rocked and held a picture of Max. Liz had tried to feel some compassion for her, but try as she might, she couldn’t help but feel angry at the woman who stood by and let her husband treat her son like crap for years. Once again her eyes wandered amongst the large crowd. She couldn’t believe that half the people there were the same people that had condemned Max for years. Had called him a hooligan . . . a roughneck, heading straight to nowhere. But yet they were all there, expressing their condolences as if they really cared. The Sheriff was even there, and she bet he was silently jumping for joy that Max was gone. Seeing him there seemed to cause something to snap inside her.

“What the hell are you doing here?” she asked hotly, causing everyone to stare at her in shock and the preacher to pause in the middle of his prayer.

“Liz,” her father cupped her elbow, trying to divert a scene. But she ignored him. Pulling her arm free, she walked toward the Sheriff, stopping directly in front of him.

“What are you doing here?” she growled.

“Ms. Parker . . . ” he tried to answer, but she cut him off. Liz turned to regard the rest of the ‘mourners.’

“In fact, what are any of you doing here? None of you cared about him . . . you all thought he was nothing but a punk . . . a hooligan . . . none of you knew him,” she shouted angrily. “None of you knew Max . . . you just exiled him . . . wrote him off like yesterday’s news,” she continued. She was crying, but she hadn’t taken notice. “I bet you’re all happy to see him gone . . . just waiting to dance and shout,” she brushed away her tears, feeling more take their place.

“Liz, sweetie,” her mother came toward her.

“And you,” she pointed a weak finger at her parents. “You never did like him . . . you wanted to send me away . . . to keep me from the ‘roughneck.’ You must be ecstatic . . . ” she accused with a snort.

“Liz please,” Mr. Evans whispered softly.

“Don’t,” she bit out through clutched teeth. “He was your son, and you treated him no better then some bum off the street . . . you didn’t even see who he was . . . who he truly was,” she hiccuped. “Max was the sweetest, most gentlest person there was . . . but none of you took the time to see that . . . to see him,” she crumbled then. She looked around at all the concerned faces staring at her.

“Liz,” she felt a hand clamp around her forearm, and she turned to see Maria’s tear-stained face.

“I have to get out of here,” she whimpered before running toward the entrance of the graveyard, ignoring the calls of her friends and family.

~~~~~~~~

“...we’re all going over to Michael’s later,” Maria offered sitting down on the edge of Liz’s bed. “We’re going to rent movies and order pizza. Why don’t you come? Michael has even agreed to watch Grease if we promise not to drool over John Travolta’s ass,” she giggled, trying to provoke some kind of reaction from her friend. It had been three weeks since Max died and ever since that scene at his funeral, Liz had been holed up in her room, refusing to come out. Maria was just about the only person she allowed within three feet of her. Her parents were worried and were considering sending her to Florida anyways to maybe help bring her out of her funk.

Liz didn’t reply. She just laid across her bed, watching as the rain drizzled down her window. Maria stretched out beside her, resting her head on Liz’s shoulder. “Everyone’s worried about you Lizzie . . . I’m worried about you.” Liz could hear the tears in her voice and closed her eyes so she wouldn’t have to see the distraught look on her friend’s face. Maria sighed heavily next to her, knowing that she wasn’t getting through. She rolled off the bed dejectedly. “Promise me you’ll call if you need me,” she whispered as she pulled on her coat. She saw Liz nodded slightly before slipping on her hat. “I love you Boo.” She knew she wouldn’t get a reply, so she left with a heavy heart.

Liz heard the click of the door, and could vaguely make out her parents as they questioned Maria about how it went. She knew they were all worried about her. Heck, she was worried about herself. For years the plan had always been that she and Max would graduate from high school, runaway together, get married, go to college and have a family. Now those dreams were gone, and she was left with nothing. What was she to do now?

Closing her eyes, she listened to the rain as it pelted her window. A small smile graced her lips as she remembered another unusual time it had rained in Roswell.

“What are you doing?” Liz giggled, watching Max as he stepped out into the rain, tilting his head back as he opened his mouth.

“Catching the rain,” he grinned at her before leaning his head back once again.

“You do know that’s nasty,” she teased. “That could be acid rain for all you know.”

“But it’s not,” he smiled, walking toward her. “Come on Babygirl . . . it’s fun,” he coerced. Liz stared at him, melting at the puppy dog eyes he gave her.

“I swear, if I die, I’m coming back for you,” she laughed before following his lead and leaning her head back to catch the falling raindrops.


Hot tears slowly rolled out from under her closed lids as she was assaulted with memories . . .

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure


“What?” she asked as he continued to stare at her.

“What? What?” he returned innocently.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” she raised an eyebrow at him.

“You’re beautiful . . . you know that?” His words caused her to blush and tuck a strand of hair behind her ear nervously.

“Um . . . thank you,” she whispered shyly. She wasn’t use to a guy giving her compliments.

“You’re welcome.” Max smiled before turning his attention back to his math assignment.


Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing


“Are you okay?” he asked her, seeing the slight fear in her eyes.

“I’m scared,” she admitted, her eyes darting away from his naked chest.

“Hey,” he reached out to her, cupping her cheek. “We don’t have to do anything if you’re not ready. It’s okay.” Max placed a tender kiss on her forehead, pulling her gently against him.

“I’ve just never done it before . . . a-and I’m kind of nervous,” she admitted against his chest.

“It’s okay Babygirl. I understand you’re not ready . . . I’m sorry if you felt like I was pressuring you or something,” he spoke softly as he ran his hands through her hair.

“No Max,” she sat up, shaking her head. “I don’t feel that way . . . I want to be with you, I’m just nervous. D-do you think we could go slow,” she bit her lip nervously as she slowly began to undo her blouse.

“We’ll go as slow as you want baby,” he vowed, covering her mouth with his as his hands slowly helped her ease her blouse off.


Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever


Liz smiled as she stared down at his sleeping form. She knew her parents would be up soon and he had to leave before they caught him, but she felt the strong need to watch him as he slept. Her eyes took in his shapely jaws and strong nose. She reached out a finger and traced his lips. Soft lips that had kissed her in places that were otherwise concealed to the world. Her finger trailed down and stroked his chest. A chest she had gotten very intimate with over the past few months. She loved the solid feel of it. Loved the way it felt against her back as he spooned in behind her. Her hands ran over his arms. Arms that held her gently during scary movies and even gentler during the throws of passion as she reached her sexual peak. She loved everything about him . . . body and soul.

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing


“Hold on tight now, I don’t want to lose you,” Max winked at her as he climbed onto his bike.

“Trust me Evans . . . I’m never letting you go,” she purred in his ear as she scooted close to him, wrapping her arms high around his chest.

“Ditto,” he replied as he revved the engine and took off.


I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time


“Max Evans, I’m going to kill you,” Liz growled as she, Isabel and Maria were all covered in green slime. “Where are you?” she ranted. She knew he couldn’t be far, Michael’s apartment wasn’t that big. She swung open the bathroom door to find him dumping the remainder of the evidence down the toilet.

“Now Babygirl . . . it was only fair,” he held up his hands in surrender. “Remember, you guys started it by putting pudding in all our shoes,” he reminded her.

“But Max, look at me . . . I’m covered in green slime . . . and I just got my hair done,” she pouted, knowing he was right. Maybe their Halloween pranks were getting a little out of hand. Max stepped forward, wrapping her in his arms, not caring that he was getting his new jacket dirty.

“I’m sorry Babygirl. Do you forgive me?” He batted his eyelashes at her and she couldn’t help but smile.

“Of course,” she grinned, pulling him in for a kiss.

“LIZ!” he shouted when he felt something cold and gooey slid down the front of his pants.

“The Master,” she laughed as she ran out the bathroom, with him hot on her tail.


Liz opened her eyes, her pillow soaked with tears. She knew what she had to do. Grabbing her shoes and Max’s leather jacket, she climbed onto her balcony and shimmied down the ladder.

~~~~~~~~~~

“I bet you’re surprised to see me,” she whispered, sliding down onto the wet grass. Liz traced his name that was neatly chiseled into the headstone.

Maxwell P. Evans
Our Beloved Son, Brother
and Friend
Sunrise March 1, 1970 - Sunset August 15, 1988


“I can’t believe you’re really gone,” she sighed. “I keep expecting you to climb up over my balcony and whisk me away into the night,” she swallowed thickly. “Because that’s the way it was supposed to be . . . we were supposed to runaway together . . . get married, but you left,” she cried. “You promised that you would never leave me. How come you didn’t keep your promise?” she pressed her face against the wet grass. “I miss you so much Max. Sometimes I wonder how I even make it through the day. Everywhere I turn, I see your face . . . hear your laughter . . . it hurts so much to know that I will never get to enjoy those things ever again,” she sat up, placing her hand over his name.

“I’m leaving Max . . . I just can’t bare being here without you. It hurts. I know you’ll understand,” she whispers as she stands up. “I just need to get away . . . I love you Max . . . Forever,” she kissed her fingers, letting them run over his headstone. “Bye Max.”

~~~~~~~~~

“Liz?” Isabel said as she flipped on the light in Max’s room. Liz looked up startled before continuing her search. “What are you doing here?” she asked, watching Liz look through Max’s drawer.

“Where are they?” Liz finally asked when it was apparent what she was searching for wasn’t in his room.

“What?” Isabel asked confused, still trying to figure out what her brother’s girlfriend was doing in their house at three in the morning.

“The keys. Where are his keys?”

“They’re downstairs,” Isabel answered once she realized what Liz was after. Liz didn’t give her time to react before she rushed past her into the hall. Isabel followed her as she made her way into the kitchen. Liz found the keys hanging on the wall that separated the kitchen from the garage. Opening the door to the garage, she flipped on the light switch. The first thing she noticed was that someone had covered up Lucille and placed her in the far corner of the garage.

“Every time mom would come out here, she would have one of her fits. So dad covered it up,” Isabel answered when she saw the way Liz was frowning. Liz nodded shortly at her explanation. She walked over and gently removed the tarp from the bike.

“Liz,” Isabel’s voice drifted toward her. She looked up to see the other girl standing inches from her, her eyes wet with tears. “I miss him,” she finally broke down. Liz stood there awkwardly before finally taking her in her arms.

“I know Iz . . . I miss him too,” she spoke softly. The two of them held onto each other in the middle of the garage, crying softly over their loss. One over the loss of her brother . . . the other over the loss of her soulmate. Isabel pulled away first.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered, wiping her nose on the sleeve of her nightgown.

“It’s okay,” Liz shrugged, turning back toward the bike. She managed to push Lucille out into the driveway.

“Where are you going?” Isabel asked her.

“Just for a ride,” she lied. Isabel nodded, but for the strangest reason, she knew it was the last time she would see Liz. Walking over to her, Isabel drew her into a hug.

“Be careful, and remember . . . I love you,” Liz found herself holding on to Isabel a lot tighter at her words.

“I love you too, Isabel.” Isabel stepped back, fighting to keep her tears in check. She watched Liz push Lucille to the end of the street before turning and offering her a small smile and wave.

“Looks like it’s just you and me Lucille,” Liz whispered as she climbed onto the bike. She turned the key and listened as she purred to life. She didn’t know where she was heading or what she was going to do when she got there, but as the wind whipped through her hair, Liz didn’t care.

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babyAnd I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
I don't want to miss a thing


~~~~~~~~~~~

Heaven

Max looks around confused as the fog danced around him.

“Maxwell Evans,” he heard behind him. He turned to see a guy not much older than himself standing before him, dressed in white.

“Uh . . . yeah. Who are you?” he asked confusingly.

“I am Remiel,” was his only reply.

“Okay Remiel. Where am I?” he asked taking a look around at his surroundings. Remiel chuckled before stepping closer.

“Come on kid, it’s time to go,” he instructed, walking ahead.

“Go? Go where?” Max asked, trying to catch up with him.

“To your destiny of course.”

“My destiny. What are you talking about?” Max was getting tired of all the riddles. Remiel shook his head. Newbies always asked to many questions.

“Take a look kid . . . you made it,” he nodded and Max turned to see what he was talking about.

“Holy sh-”

“I wouldn’t finish that if I was you,” Remiel laughed. “Welcome home, Max.” Max stared at the large gates before him in disbelief. Somehow he had made to Heaven after all.

Sorry for the delay.... RL's a B****

Chapter 6

Seventeen Years Later

“Would you hurry up,” he heard hissed behind him. He heard the tell-tale sound of the click as the lock finally gave away. “Gotcha,” he smirked in triumph. Turning around, he found his friends horse playing. “Would you guys quit fooling around,” he growled, grabbing his duffel bag from the ground. Slinging it over his shoulder, he climbed in through the window before turning around and helping the girls through.

“Ah man, this is sweet,” Dusty whistled as they entered the large indoor swimming pool area.
“See if you can find somewhere to plug this in,” Tyson instructed, handing Dusty the portable CD player.

“Hey, where did Cory go?” Chase asked, cracking open some beers and handing them to the girls.

“Who the hell cares,” Dusty grinned as he stripped down to his boxers and dove into the pool. Devon grabbed her bag and went in search of her missing boyfriend. She found him near the principal’s offices.

“What are you doing?” She smiled as she watched him rummage through his bag. He looked up, offering her one of his knee weakening half smirks before pulling out two cans of spray paint. “What are you up to Cory?”she questioned, wrapping her arms around his waist.

“You’ll see.” He bent down and kissed her lips. Devon sat down on the floor behind him and watched as he created his ‘masterpiece.’ Thirty minutes and six spray cans later, Cory stepped back to admire his work. He heard Devon giggle behind him, and turned to give her a huge smile. Devon stood up, positioning herself in front of him as looked at what he had drawn. There in big red and black letters were the words ‘Principle Grubble BLOWS!’ Underneath the words was a very lifelike drawing of Principle Grubble on his knees giving a faceless man a blow-job.

“He is going to have an aneurism when he sees this,” she laughed, looking up at him with shining eyes.

“Yeah, well, it will teach him not to speak upon things he knows nothing about,” he spoke through tight jaws as he wrapped his arms around her waist. He felt his anger began to rise as he thought about the things Principal Grubble had said to him that morning.

“Hey,” Devon said softly, placing a soothing hand on his cheek. “Grubble’s an ass. Don’t let anything he says get to you. He doesn’t know shit about you Cory.” She ran her fingers over his creased brow before placing a tender kiss upon his lips. Cory felt himself relax at her words. She always knew the right things to say to calm him down. He leaned over, capturing her lips for a sweet kiss. Before either of them could deepen it, Dusty flew up to them, his hair matted to his head.

“Dude, 5-0 just pulled up, haul ass,” he rushed out before taking off.

“Shit.” Cory quickly threw the empty spray cans into his duffle bag. “Come on,” he grabbed Devon’s hand and ran down the hall. They found the others waiting for them in the alley.

“Hurry up,” Tyson fidgeted impatiently, seeing the police flashlights not far behind them. “Damn, that was close.” They all nodded their heads in agreement.

The next morning, the hall outside Principal Grubble’s office was littered with students. There were snickers and laughter all around as they all tried to get a glimpse of the obscene picture. Principle Grubble finally was able to push his way through the large crowd and when he saw the large mural on the wall, every vein in his bald head began to pulsate with fury.

“Who did this?” he demanded. Everyone stood back, trying hard to hold in their laughter. His eyes roamed the massive crowd before landing on the one he knew was responsible for such blatant disrespect. His eyes narrowed to dangerous slits. Cory stood to the side, his arms folded defiantly across his chest. His face was set in a challenging mask.

“I know this is your doing,” Grubble growled as he approached him.

“Yeah? Prove it.” Cory raised an eyebrow at him. Principal Grubble actually smirked at that.

“Oh, I can . . . I definitely can,” he retorted cryptically before turning around and dispersing the crowd still mingling in front of the office. Cory stared after him, wondering what exactly he meant.

~~~~~~~~~

Liz Daniels sighed heavily when her tired body collided with the soft mattress. She had pulled a double shift and now all she wanted to do was sleep for the next 48 hours.

“Rough night?” she heard above her, right before the bed dipped beside her.

“Understatement,” she mumbled, cracking one eye open to regard him.

“Sweetie, I wish you didn’t work so hard,” he cooed, rubbing her back gently.

“If I don’t, who will?” she smiled lazily at him. He smiled back, but she could see the concern in his eyes.

“Still, I wish you’d slow down. It’s not healthy . . . ”

“James, don’t start,” she warned. Flipping onto her back, Liz threw her arm over her eyes and groaned. She wasn’t up for arguing with him at the moment. Seeing the frown on her face, James decided not to press issue right then.

“Okay, I won’t . . . not now at least.” He stood up, placing a kiss on her cheek. “I’m going to go get something for dinner this evening. You get some rest okay, love?” She nodded before sitting up on her elbows.

“You know I love you, right?” she whispered sincerely.

“Yeah, yeah,” he grinned blowing her a kiss before closing the door behind him. As soon as the door closed, Liz flopped back onto the bed, ready to welcome the sleep she so well deserved. She was awakened an hour later by the demanding ringing of the telephone. Groaning loudly, she reached blindly for it.

“Hello,” she grumbled into the phone.

~~~~~~~~~

Two hours later, she sat in the front office of John Adams High School, waiting impatiently for her meeting with Principal Grubble. She shifted in her seat annoyingly. She had been sitting there for the last hour and she still didn’t know what was going on.

“Mrs. Daniels, Mr. Grubble will see you now,” the secretary announced.

“It’s about time,” Liz mumbled as she stood up. Finally making her way into his office, she was greeted with his fake smile.

“Ah, Mrs. Daniels, it’s always a pleasure,” he responded as he stood to greet her.

“Grubble,” she replied tightly. It wasn't exactly a secret that Liz Daniels and Principle Grubble didn’t see eye to eye. She’d been in his office more times than she could count, each time ending in a heated argument. He waited until she was seated before taking his seat once again.

“I’m quite sure you’re wondering what I called you in here for today,” he began.

“I am. Since it is my only day off this week, I would like to know why I’m being called down to the principal’s office,” she snapped. Principal Grubble stared at the petite woman before him. Liz Daniels was a force to be reckoned with. It never failed that when she came into his office, he was left with a splitting migraine once she left.

“Right. I do apologize for having to call you down, but there is a situation that I feel needs your attention.” He leaned over and pressed the intercom. “Mrs. Clark, could you send Mr. Daniels in please. A few minutes later, Cory stepped through the down, stopping dead in his tracks when he saw his mom sitting in the office with Principal Grubble. Liz raised an eyebrow at her son, but didn’t say anything, Cory knew her well enough to know that she was well past pissed. He groaned inwardly as he took a seat next to her.

“As I was saying Mrs. Daniels,” he began once again. “Last night someone broke into the school and painted obscenities on the school walls.” His eyes momentarily landed on Cory, who raised the corner of his mouth in a sly smirk.

“Ok, what does this have to do with my son?” she asked, getting tired of his beating around the bush.

“Right,” he answered. Turning toward a small television behind his desk, he slipped in a tape and pressed play. Liz stared at the blank screen m in confusion. Suddenly, she saw the halls of the school. Her eyes narrowed when she saw a familiar form appear on the screen. She watched as he proceeded to spray paint the side wall. Cory’s eyes widened in shock as he saw himself on the screen.

“Shit,” he mumbled under his breath as he sunk low in his seat at his mother’s piercing glare.

“As you can see,” Grubble turned back to them, “The school installed a new security system last week. Now this is the fourth time Cory has been in my office this month. I will not tolerate this total lack of disrespect he constantly shows toward me . . . ”

“Disrespect!” Cory shouted as he lunged to his feet.

“Cory,” Liz placing a calming hand on his arm.

But he was already heated. “What about the things you’ve said to me . . . the way you’re always putting me down . . . calling me good for nothing . . . a hoodlum that wouldn’t amount to nothing . . . that I’ll probably end up in prison or dead.” Angry tears began to leak from his eyes. Tears that he had tried to keep at bay. He didn’t want to give that bastard Grubble anything else to pick at him about.

“Cory, go wait outside for me,” Liz instructed through clenched jaws. Cory stared down at his mom, nodding in agreement before turning and heading out of the room. The moment the door closed behind him, Liz swirled around, her eyes burning with unconcealed anger.

“How dare you say those things to my son?” She growled.

“Mrs. Daniels . . . ”

“Shut up!” she shouted. “From day one, you’ve had it out for my son. Always singling him out because he’s different from all the other straight laced, preppy kids in this fucking school.” She leaned forward on his desk so that she could look him dead in the eyes. “Well guess what? It stops today. If you ever, ever speak down to my son again, it will take a specialist to remove my foot from your ass.” She stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her. The occupants in the office jumped in alarm when the glass window broke from the force of it slamming against its frame.

“Let’s go,” she demanded to her son as she walked by without another word. Cory quickly stood up and followed her out of the office. In the hall, his eyes locked with Devon’s who stared at him with sympathy. Even though he had several inches on his mom, Cory found it difficult to keep up with her angry strides as she walked across the parking lot.

“Mom,” he spoke as they made it to the car.

“Not now.” She glared at him, and Cory knew to leave her alone.

~~~~~~~~~

“You promised,” Liz shouted at her son. “You promised me that you wouldn’t get into anymore trouble, Cory.”

“He had it coming,” he shrugged, unfazed by her shouting. He had been tuning her out for the last twenty minutes now. Answering every few minutes to appease her.

“He had it coming,” she mocked sarcastically. Liz resisted the urge to wrap her hands around his scrawny little neck and wring the life out of him. “Well you know who’s going to have to pay for your little Van Gogh act? Me, that’s who,” she snapped. “I’m out there busting my ass so that I can keep a roof over your head, food in that bottomless pit of yours and keep you in that damn school, and this is the thanks I get.”

“I didn’t ask to be sent to that uppity ass school,” he bit back.

“Hey,” she warned.

He quickly lost some of the heat in his voice. “I never wanted to go that school. You’re the one that made that decision without even considering how I felt,” he argued.

“I did it for you. John Adams has the best art program in the state and you love art.”

“I don’t belong there mom. All those kids are spoiled brats with rich daddies, saving accounts and fancy cars. I’ll never fit and Principal Grubble makes sure that I know it,” he sighed, turning away from her dejectedly. Liz felt all the anger and frustration drain from her body as she stared at her son’s doleful expression. Her expression softened as she watched his shoulder slump forward and the way he fought so hard to keep from crying.

“Hey,” she spoke gently, placing a calming hand on his back. Her heart ached painfully in her chest as she remembered going through the same scene years ago. But then she was comforting her lover, now her son. “You belong there just as much as the rest of them. I don’t give a flying shit about what Grubble or anyone else says and neither should you,” she said adamantly. “You’re just as important as the rest of them.” Cory wanted to believe her, but there was no way she could understand what he was going through.

“You just don’t understand mom.” He shrugged out of her reach.

“Well, help me understand,” she probed, watching him shrug on his jacket.

“Mom, just leave it alone okay,” he snapped, making his way to the front door.

“Where are you going?” she called after him.

“Out.” came his short response.

“Hey, we’re not finish mister,” she yelled at his retreating form as the door closed with a loud slam. Liz stared at it with grief. “I know more than you think kid,” she whispered sadly.

Sorry for the wait...those of you reading my other stories RTL and DL. They should be updated later on tonight, hopefully...lol. Still trying to get back on the ball. Thanks for your patience and I hope you like...l



Chapter 7

When James arrived home later that afternoon, he found Liz asleep on the den sofa. Several charts lay upon her chest and another dangled from her hand, dangerously close to hitting the floor. Walking over, he carefully removed the files from her chest and hand and put them on the table.

“I need to finish them,” she mumbled sleepily as he lifted her in his arms.

“Shh . . . you need to sleep,” he whispered tenderly as he carried her to the bedroom.

“James,” she whined.

“Liz,” he whined right back. “You’re spreading yourself to thin,” he admonished, placing her down in the middle of the bed. He gently began to remove her shoes. Liz was already drifting back into the arms of sleep. James removed the hairpins from her hair, releasing the tight bun she always wore. He ran his fingers through her silky locks, freeing the tangled tendrils.

“Mmm . . . Max.” The name brushed across her lips in a soft whisper and a small smile lit up her face. James stiffened beside her, his hand stilling in her hair. He stared down at her, watching as she snuggled against her pillow before her tiny snores soon vibrated around the room. James stood with a heavy sigh. He pulled the covers around her exhausted form. He brushed a kiss over her forehead before turning the light out and closing the door softly behind him.

He made his way downstairs where he cleaned the many discarded pieces of paper from the den floor she had tossed around. He proceeded to clean the rest of the house and fixed dinner for them. Once he was finished, he poured himself a drink and sat down in the study. As hard as he tried, he couldn’t forget whose name she had called out.

~~~~~~~~~~

“I don’t know why you just won’t talk to your mom, Cory,” Devon whispered as she pressed her front against his warm back. Throwing her leg across his naked hip, she ran her hand over his hard chest, pressing herself firmly against him. She ran her hand through his short locks, trying to soothe the tenseness in his body. “I know she will understand,” she said as she rested her chin on his shoulder.

“No, she won’t,” he answered tightly.

“How do you know if you don’t talk to her?” she persisted.

“Dee, just drop it okay,” he snapped. He really wasn’t in the mood to have this conversation with her again, not tonight.

“Fine, be that way. I was just trying to help,” she said, slamming her tiny fist into his shoulder before untangling herself from him in an angry huff. She sat up against her headboard, her arms folded across her chest, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

“Hey,” Cory whispered softly, crawling up beside her. “Look. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you,” he spoke gently, running his finger over her pouty lips. “Ah, come on. Don’t be that way Dee,” he coaxed when she scooted away from his touch and lifted her chin stubbornly. He poked her side playfully.

“Stop,” she growled, slapping his hand away. Seeing that she was really pissed, Cory ran his hand through his hair.

“I said I was sorry. What do you want from me?”

“Sorry’s not good enough Cory Daniels. All I was saying was talk to her. Tell her what’s going on. I hate to see you like this, knowing that if you just told her, maybe she’ll understand where you’re coming from,” she tried to reason with him.

“Maybe,” he shrugged, pulling her into his lap. She didn’t resist this time, and allowed him to straddle her across his lap. “But hey, I didn’t come over her to talk about my mom. There are a lot of other things we could be doing.” He ran his hand up her back as he nuzzled his nose against her throat.

“Cory,” she moaned when he began to nibble on the tender flesh of her breast. His fingers danced across her hips before positioning her over him. He easily slides into her and she gasped above him. They rocked together fluidly and soon found release in each others arms. They lay together, basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking. Suddenly a door closed somewhere in the house.

“Shit, my parents are home,” Devon exclaimed. Jumping from the bed, she quickly ran around the room gathering her discarded clothes. “What are you doing?” she hissed at him as he continued to sit on her bed staring at her.

“You haven’t told them, have you?” he asked, watching her frantic movements.

“What?” she asked distractedly as she slipped on her skirt.

“You haven’t told them about me . . . about us,” he reiterated, coming to stand directly in front of her in all his naked glory.

“Would you get dressed.” Her voice was panic as she heard footsteps on the stairs. Cory walked over to her door and Devon nearly had a heart attack thinking he was going to go out there where her parents were. Instead, he locked her bedroom door and leaned against it.

“What are you doing?” she whispered sharply. “You have to get out of here.” She pushed his clothes into his chest.

“Wouldn’t want your parents to know you’re shacking up with the town’s riffraff, huh?” His face showed no emotions as he stared down at her.

“What? You know that’s not true,” she spoke softly.

“Isn’t it?” he challenged, pulling up his pants. “I mean, shit Devon, we’ve been going out for the last two years, and I’ve yet to meet your parents . . . but you’ve been to my house countless times and met mine. You act like you’re shame of me or something.” This time the hurt managed to creep into his voice. Devon walked over to him, burying her head against his chest as she wrapped her arms around his waist.

“Cory, you know I’m not shame of you . . . it’s just my parents . . . they wouldn’t understand,” she tried to explain. He didn’t hold her back. Instead, he just stood there stiffly, his hands buried in his pockets.

“Cory?” She pulls back and looks up at him. Before she could say anything else, there was a knock on her door. Her eyes widened in fear.

“Devon, we’re home . . . come down for dinner,” her father’s voice sounded though the door.

“I better go,” Cory whispered, stepping back. He quickly finished getting dressed.

“Cory, wait,” she whispered, grabbing a hold of his wrist. She tried to block out her father’s persistent knock as she tried to read her boyfriend’s face.

“I’ll talk to you later.” Removing her hand, he climbed through her window, disappearing over her balcony. Devon stared after him, tears once again gathering in her eyes.
“Devon!” She turned back toward her door. Wiping her eyes, she took a deep breath before opening it.

~~~~~~~~~

“Hey.” Cory falters in his steps when he heard the voice. Stepping back, he saw his mom sitting at the kitchen table nibbling on the dinner James had prepared for them. He made his way over and sat down. Liz watched his face as he sat down across from her. She could tell he was upset from the way his jaws were throbbing from clutching his teeth together.

“What’s wrong?” she asked, setting aside her file she was working on.

“Nothing,” he answered shortly.

“Did you and Devon have a fight?” Liz wasn’t put off by his snide response.

“Mom, just leave it alone, god!” he threw his hands up in frustration.

“What the hell is your problem?” she snapped back getting fed up with his constant attitude lately. “You’ve been walking around here biting everyone’s head off for no reason. I suggest you pull out whatever crawled up your butt and kill the ‘tude, because I’ve had just about enough of it Cory Daniels!”

“Is everything okay?” James asked tentatively as he stepped into the kitchen. He looked between the two of them an eyebrow raised.

“I’m going to my room,” Cory announced as he stood up abruptly. He retreated to his room, slamming the door behind him.

“Ugh!” Liz screamed, pulling at her hair in frustration. “I swear . . . ” she growled.

“Hey,” James soothed, pulling her to her feet. He wrapped her in his strong embrace. Liz buried her head against his hard chest as he ran his hand gently over her back and through her hair.

“I wish he would just talk to me,” she whispered. “It’s like he hates me.” Her voice cracked as tears threatened to spill forward.

“Shh,” you know that’s not true,” James cooed, brushing his lips lightly over her forehead. “He’s just going through normal teenage rebellion,” he assured. “Do you want me to talk to him?” he asked, tucking her head beneath his chin.

Liz shook her head. “No, I think I’m the one that he needs to talk to,” she sighed heavily. James nodded, squeezing her small frame against him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I passed!” Liz’s excited voice sounded through the house two weeks later. Things between her and Cory were still a little shaky, but his attitude had subsided some . . . not much. They had even sat down and had a decent conversation about Devon, Grubble and school, but Liz could tell there was something he was still holding back from her, but she would wait until he was ready to tell her what that was.

James turned around from washing the dishes just in time to catch her as she jumped into his arms. “Whoa there, what’s going on?” he asked, trying to not let her slip through his wet hands.

“I passed,” she announced once again, a huge smile plastered on her face. She held up a piece of paper in his face and James quickly scanned the contents of the letter.

“You did it,” he beamed proudly crushing her to him as he spun them around. Liz through her head back in excitement, giggling as he danced around with her in his arms.

“What are you doing?” Cory asked from the doorway. He arched an weary eyebrow at them. Liz and James looked at him and began laughing at his expression.

“You guys are weird,” he said as they continued to laugh. He was just about to leave them to their weird behavior when his mom called him back. James placed her back on the ground, the smile never leaving his face.

“Say hello to Dr. Elizabeth Daniels,” he announced proudly, placing a hand over her shoulder.
Cory stared at them briefly before stepping forward and pulling his mom into a hug.

“Way to go mom. I knew you could do it,” he smiled, kissing her noisily on the cheek.

“Thank you baby,” she said as he pulled back. “I haven’t told you the best part yet,” she said as they all gathered around the table. “Dr. Clark pulled me aside tonight and told me he had heard that I aced the boards, and get this,” she paused for effect. “He told me he’s been impressed with me every since I started at the hospital, and he wants me . . . me, to be chief resident at one of his hospitals.”

“What? Liz, that’s awesome,” James kissed her cheek, stroking her arm tenderly. She sent him a warm smile, before turning back to her son who was staring at her with an unreadable expression.

“What exactly does that mean?” he finally asked. Liz squirmed slightly, knowing that this was the part she had been dreading every since Dr. Clark had approached her.

“Well, it means I’ll be head of the emergency department . . . a bigger salary . . . great benefits . . . ” she began to rattle off.

“Mom!” Cory cut in, knowing that she was hiding something. Liz sighed heavily.

“It means relocating,” she finally announced.

“WHAT!” Cory shouted as he stood up.

“Cory, calm down,” James scolded, sending a glare toward him. “Now,” he began once Cory sat back down with an angry huff. “What does that mean, Liz? Relocating to where?” he asked.

“Well, Dr. Clark didn’t say exactly, I’m supposed to meet with him tomorrow morning and find out all the details.”

“This is bullshit!” Cory bit out.

“Hey,” James stood up. “Don’t you ever speak like that to your mother again. Do you hear me? Your mother has worked hard for this and she deserves this and I’m not going to sit here and let you make her feel bad for wanting this,” he exhorted. His words only seemed to add fire to the flames, and pretty soon the two of them were engaged in a shouting match.

“STOP IT!” Liz shouted, causing them to clamp their mouth shut. “We don’t know all the details just yet, so lets just stop all the fighting,” she demanded. “I’m going out.” She didn’t give them a chance to protest as she grabbed her purse and stormed out of the house. Her happy mood she had when she first came home, now replaced with sorrow and anger.

~~~~~~~~~

Liz stared up at the sky. The stars winked at her from above, as she sat down on the hood of her car. She struggled desperately to fight her tears, but she couldn’t hold off any longer. Hard sobs racked her body as the stress of everything crashed into her.

“I-I don’t know if you can hear me up there . . . but I could really use your help God,” she whispered heavenward. “He’s so hurt and angry and I don’t know what to do anymore. If you could just send me a sign or something that everything is going to be alright . . . that this move is the right thing to do,” she pleaded desperately. She stared up at the sky, waiting for anything. When nothing came, she sighed heavily before climbing back into her car.

~~~~~~~~~

Heaven

Chief Prince and Archangel Michael stood next to His Holiness as they stared down upon Earth. They both had heard Liz’s prayer and cry for help.

“Where is Maxwell?” His Holiness finally spoke.

“He is with little Gabby Richards . . . you know she will be coming home soon,” Michael answered. He watched as His Holiness nodded as he continued to stare after the small brunette below.

“When he returns, tell him I would like to see him,” he instructed. Archangel Michael narrowed his eyes at him, seeing the glint in his eyes.

“With all do respect, Your Holiness, but what are you up too?” he asked suspiciously.

“Doing what I do best,” he said, turning toward him. “Answering prayers.”

Okay, I'm back, and I wanted to apologize for the long delay, but sometimes things happen that we can't control. Anyways, I'm slowly getting back into writing because since my computer was down I've been focusing on some other things in my life and writing was placed on hold since I hate writing by hand. So here is the next part to God Sent, and don't worry RTL and DL next chapters are halfway done and should be out sometime this weekend.

I want to thank those of you still reading for your patiences and hopefully updates will resume frequently once again.

Thanks Izstacie for betaing....:Big Hug:


Chapter 8

"I can't believe you're leaving," Devon mumbled against her boyfriend’s chest.

"I know," Cory whispered, adjusting his position so that they rested comfortably in the back seat of his Chevy Impala. "I mean, who the hell lives in Roswell, New Mexico anyway? The town's a fucking Alien tourist trap filled with loony’s waiting for some ship to land and take them back to their planet" he grumbled. Devon chuckled at his words.

"Well, you'll probably find some hot alien chick and forget all about me," she joked, but Cory could hear the vulnerability in her voice and he sat up.

"Hey," he captured her chin, noticing the way she wouldn't look at him. “That's not going to happen," he smiled, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"But how do you know?" she asked uncertainly. "You're going to be thousands of miles away and . . .”

"I know because I love you Devon, and nothing's going to change that." He wrapped his arms around her waist, trapping her in his strong embrace. "We'll write each other and my mom just got me a new webcam so we can see each other," he assured her.

"I just can't believe that tonight is our last night together," she whispered sadly. Cory felt wetness seep through his shirt and knew she was crying.

"Shh, don't cry," he cooed, burying his fingers through her hair. "I promise, whatever it takes, I will come back." He kissed her wet cheeks before bringing his mouth down to cover hers.

"I love you," she sighed against his lips. Soon, the two lovers made love under the stars, promises of forever love passing their lips as they reached their climax.

~~~~~~~~~

James walked through the dark house, paying extra attention not to run into the many boxes littering the floor. He passed by Cory's room, not even bothering to look in because he knew he was spending his last night in New York with Devon. He followed the small trail of light peeking beneath the study door. Pushing open the door, he saw the object of his search sitting in the middle of a strew of boxes. Liz stared at the photo album in her hands, tears that she hadn't even realize had formed, fell silently against the pages. A small smile touched her lips as she turned the page. It was a picture of the whole gang at The Spot. It was taken a few weeks before Max died. They were all just goofing around and Benny was snapping pictures. She remembered him showing her the pictures a few days later and he had given her one. While everyone else was goofing off, she and Max had been gazing into each others eyes. They were clueless to the world around them. Liz felt fresh tears flood her eyes, and quickly brushed them away.

She couldn’t believe it had been seventeen years since she had seen or talked to anyone from Roswell. When she had climbed on Lucille all those years ago, she hadn’t planned on being gone for so long, but she couldn’t stand the thought of being in Roswell without Max. So she had just drove the open road, not caring where she ended up, only stopping long enough to rest her head in some dingy motel on the side of the road.

She had been gone for two months when she found out she was pregnant. She remembered waking up in yet another seedy hotel in Nashville, TN. She had been there a few weeks, working in the small diner across the street to get a little extra change. She had been feeling terrible for the last few days and assumed she had gotten a hold of something bad at the diner, but when she woke feeling like she was going to puke up her entire insides, she knew something was up. She realized that during all her roaming, she hadn’t once had her period, which always came like clockwork. She had rushed out to the local drugstore and brought a pregnancy test. It had seemed like forever as she waited on the results. When the excruciating three minutes were up, she held her breath as she read the results.

At first she had been shocked when she saw the two pink lines on the tiny stick. She remembered going through a ray of emotions that day. She had been shocked, scared, sad, but most of all she had been full of love and happiness. Her and Max had created a life together, a life that was part her and part Max. Even though he or she had only been a tiny speck at the time, she had felt so much love for him or her already. She had spent the remainder of the day in her room trying to figure out what she was going to do. She thought about going home, but knew her parents wouldn’t approve of her condition and would try and force her to put the baby up for adoption or worse. So going home had been out of the question.

“Hey,” James whispered, pulling her out of her thoughts. Liz wiped away her tears and gave him a shaky smile. “You okay?” he asked, folding down on the floor beside her. He raised his hand, brushing away her straggling tears with the pad of his fingers.

“Yeah,” she whispered softly, closing the album and placing it into one of the many boxes. She continued to place random things in boxes, feeling his eyes on her. James watched her movements carefully, noticing how she wouldn’t look at him.

“Hey,” he said, grabbing her hands in his. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” she answered quickly.

“Don’t tell me nothing, Liz. There’s something obviously wrong or you wouldn’t be sitting in here crying. Talk to me,” he coaxed, disposing her in his lap. Liz laid her head on his shoulder, letting out a heavy sigh. “Are you worried about the move?” he asked when she didn’t say anything.

“A little,” she answered, playing with the hem of her gown.

“Don’t worry. It’s always scary moving to a new place, but you’re going to blow them away, I know it,” he told her soundly. Liz nodded tightly. He thought she was worried about moving to a new place, but the thing was, Roswell wasn’t new to her, it was home. A home she had run away from seventeen years ago and never looked back. Now she was returning. What would be waiting for her? Would her family and friends hate her or would they welcome her back with open arms? There were bound to be questions from everyone. Questions she didn’t know if she was ready to answer. And what of Cory? There would be no denying his identity since he looked exactly like Max, right down to his pointy ears. She wasn’t sure how she was going to handle it, but she felt it was time; time for her to go home. When Dr. Clark had informed her where she was to be working, she knew it was the sign she had been so desperately looking for. Maybe this move was exactly what she and Cory needed. Yes she was scared. Scared of what laid ahead, but she was finally ready, at least to return home. All the other stuff she would have to worry about when faced with them.

“Come on, we have to get up early in the morning,” James said, “the movers will be here at six and I don’t want you to be tired on the road,” he stated. He stood up, never releasing his hold on her.

“You know, I can walk,” she giggled softly.

“Humor me,” he smiled down at her, kissing her forehead. Liz rolled her eyes, but allowed him to carry her out of the room.

Heaven

“So, this kid, when is he due?” Max asked staring down at the file of Cory M. Daniels. Archangel Raquel looked up from the file he was currently reading to regard Max. He liked Max. He was a good kid, a little on the rough side, but a good guy with a big heart. Of course when he first arrived, Max had been a handful, very rebellious against his predetermined Destiny, but after awhile, he seemed to accept his fate and roll with it. Raquel had been assigned his CA . . . Commanding Angel. He had the task of keeping him in line and out of mischief.

“Due?” he asked confusingly.

“Yeah, you know, when is he going to die . . . what’s he dying of . . . you know.” Max shook his head. Sometimes Raquel could be so clueless.

“Oh, he’s not,” Raquel answered before turning back to his file.

“Then why am I going down there if the kid’s not dying?” It was Max’s time to be confuse.

“Look kid,” Raquel began, “All I know is that His Holiness wants you personally to handle the case,” he shrugs.

“Great. So I’m supposed to go down there and do what exactly?”

“I don’t know . . . be his friend, keep him out of trouble and as you can see from his file that he’s been in a lot of it lately.”

“ So basically, I’m a babysitter,” Max stated dryly. Raquel only shrugged while watching the unhappy expression pass across his face. He knew Max wanted his wings, but because of the trouble he had gotten into when he first arrived, it was taking him longer then most Angels. Max stood up preparing to go back to his room to get ready for his next assignment.

“Remember Max,” Raquel called, stopping him in his tracks. “You must never reveal yourself to no one but your charge,” he warned.

“I know, I know. Geez Rag, you’d think after hanging out with me for the last few years, you’d learn to remove that stick from you’re a. . .”

“Out Max,” Raguel’s deep voice bellowed before he could finish his sentence. So they haven’t quite managed to make him go completely straight. Max only sent him a sly smile before chuckling as he left the room.

So I know it's been like forever since I've updated this fic and I'm truly sorry. It wasn't my intention to leave it unattended for the updates to be so far in between, but I thought I'd be finished with Down Low by now, but RL is taking over and this beening a new year, I'm working on a lot of things. Anyways, I wanted to thank those of you still around and to Itzstacie who continues to check in on me and does a awesome job betaing for me. Again thank you for your patiences and understanding.

So here is the next part, and hopefully it won't be so long between the next update.

Chapter 9


"Knock...knock." Liz leaned against the doorframe of her son’s new room. Cory looked up from his conversation he was having with Devon via webcam to see his mother standing in the doorway.

"I'll talk to you later," he told Devon as he began to shut down his computer. After a quick hello to Liz and blowing an air kiss to Cory, his screen went black and he closed his laptop.

"Can I sit?" Liz asked, pointing to his bed.

"Whatever," Cory mumbled as he stood up to place his computer at his desk.

"So I take it that you're still mad at me," she replied dryly. Her eyes roamed his room and she noticed that most of his stuff was still packed in boxes and the only thing he had unpacked was his computer and a photo of him and Devon. They had been in Roswell for three weeks now, and she had only seen him leave the house a handful of times.

She herself had been busy learning the ropes at Roswell Memorial. Most of the staff resented her for coming in and taking a position they felt should have been theirs. Others felt she was to young to handle the title, especially since she had just recently became a doctor. But Dr. Clark believed in her and she was going to do her best to show that he had chosen the right person for the position.

Thankfully because of her long hours, she hadn't run into her parents or any of her old friends. She knew her parents still owned The Dive and it was still a popular teen hangout, and was doing quite well after all these years. She didn't know if Maria or any of her other friends were still around, but she was grateful that she hadn't ran into any of them if they were still in Roswell. She needed time to think and she didn't know what to say, how to explain her running away all those years ago and her sudden reappearance.

"I'm not mad at you mom," he sighed, running a tired hand through his hair.

"Really? Because you've barely spoken to me these past three weeks." She couldn't help the sadness that came over her.

"Maybe because you're never here," he pointed out.

"Look, Cory, I know I've been working a lot since we got here..."

"Humph," he snorted sarcastically cutting her off. Liz ignored his tart response and took a deep breath. She didn't want to argue with him.

"Okay. Now that we've established that I've been working a lot lately," she rolled her eyes, "I wanted to know how you were transitioning here."

"Transitioning," he gawked, "Mom, I hate it here. There's nothing to do...everywhere you turn around there's some freaking alien tourist crap," he growled. Liz held back the smile that threatened to spill forward at his words. She remembered Max saying almost the exact same thing when they first started dating. He hated Roswell because, with the exception of The Dive, everywhere you turned was alien themed. She found it ironic. She was about to respond when her pager shrieked loudly. Liz stared down at it and saw that it was the hospital.

"I thought you had the day off," Cory pointed out when he saw her reaching for the phone on his night table.

"I do," she replied as she began to dial the hospital's number. Cory watched her as she took the call and wasn't surprised when she hung up and turned to him with an apologetic look on her face.

"Just go," he mumbled, turning his back on her. Liz felt torn. She really wanted to spend the day with him, talk to him. It had been so long since they had, had a real heart to heart, and she wanted to tell him about her past...about Max.

"Cory..." she whispered.

"It's okay mom. You have an important job...I understand," he cut her off. Truth was he was hurt that she had to leave. He flopped down on his bed and opened up his latest issue of 'Bikers,’ and proceeded to look through it, ignoring Liz entirely. Liz sighed heavily. Leaning over, she brushed aside his long bangs.

“Not as important as you,” she mumbled as she placed a motherly kiss upon his forehead. Cory fought back the tears that stung his eyes at her words. “I promise I’ll be back as soon as I can,” she vowed as she stood from the bed. Cory nodded, but continued to stare at the magazine in front of him. Liz made her way to the door, throwing one last look at her son. As soon as she closed the door behind her, Cory threw the magazine across the room in frustration. His cell phone blared to life and he reached over and a small smile played across his lips as he read the caller id. After speaking to the person on the other end, he quickly got dressed and ran out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Took you long enough,” Reggie grinned as soon as Cory arrived. Cory pounded fist with him, chuckling softly. Unbeknownst to Liz, Cory had started running with the town’s bad crowd. He’d met them the third night they had arrived in Roswell. She had been at work as usual and he had gone to check out the sights. He had a run in with Danny, another one who thought he ran Roswell, when Reggie had stepped in. Since then, whenever Liz left, he went to hang out with Reggie and his friends. Cory looked around the group and nodded in greeting.

“Hey Cory,” Regina cooed, flashing him a million watt smile. Cory shifted nervously under her gaze. Regina was Reggie’s twin sister, and she had already made it known that she wanted him.

“So what are you guys up to?” he asked, taking a seat on one of the old, battered couches.

“Nothing, just hanging,” Reggie shrugged, grabbing his sister in a headlock and giving her a noogie.

“Jerk,” she growled, punching him in the shoulder when he finally released her.

“Say Cory, you’re going to West Roswell High?” Misty asked.

“I guess,” he answered, watching as Terry rolled up a joint.

“Well if you need someone to show you around…I’m available,” Regina purred suggestively.

“Yeah right, the only thing you want to show him is the Eraser Room,” Terry laughed.

“Fuck you T,” she snarled. They started bickering and Cory could only shake his head and laugh.

“I’m hungry,” Terry said a little while later.

“You’re always hungry,” Misty laughed.

“So, let’s go to The Dive,” he continued.

“You know we’re not allowed there,” Regina reminded him as she took a drag of the joint Reggie handed her.

“So, it’s never stopped us before. Besides, Cory here has never been,” Terry grinned. “What do you say Cory, you hungry?”

“Whatever,” he shrugged.

~~~~~~~~

Jeff looked over at the booth his wife and Diane Evans occupied. He felt it ironic that after going through so much to keep Max and Liz apart all those years ago that he, Nancy and the Evans had become good friends. He believed it was the lost of their children that had drawn them together. When Liz ran away, he and Nancy had been beside themselves with guilt knowing that in a way they had pushed her away. For days, weeks, months, they prayed that she would come back to them. One day Diane asked if she could come over to talk and from that day on, the four of them had found comfort in each other. The bell over the door chimed before a group of loud teenagers walked through the door. Jeff recognized them instantly and walked around the counter fully intent on tossing them out.

“I thought I told you never to step foot in here again,” he warned, looking over the group of tattooed punks.

“Chill pops, we have money,” Reggie laughed, causing the others around him to join in.

“Look, I’ve warned you before to stay out of here or I’d call the cops,” Jeff growled.

“What’s your problem? He said we had money, are we not good enough for your establishment,” a voice said from behind them and Jeff strained his neck to see where it had come from. The group turned to stare at Cory. Jeff shook literally as the boy raised his head and amber eyes locked with his.

“Max!” Diane cried as she stepped forward. She and Nancy had been watching the scene from a distance. She had noticed the boy as he lingered in the back of the group. Something about him pulled at her. When he had spoke and finally looked up, she felt all the air rushed out of her. Cory looked behind him as the woman approached, thinking she was referring to someone behind him. But when she stopped in front of him his heart began to beat rapidly in his chest.

“Max,” she whispered again, placing her warm hand against his cheek. The others looked at him with a raised brow and he began to feel uncomfortable with her touch and the way the other two adults were openingly staring at him.

“Look lady, I think you got the wrong guy,” he chuckled nervously, removing her hand from his face.

“But…”

“Diane…” Nancy called softly as she watched the boy fidget. She herself couldn’t believe how much the boy standing before them looked so much like her daughter’s deceased boyfriend. “I’m sorry,” she apologizes for her friend’s behavior.

“It’s okay,” Cory nodded, his eyes still locked on the woman before him. He watched her break down in the other woman’s arm and had to look away as he felt a connection to the three people before him. “Let’s go,” he said suddenly.

“But I’m hungry…” Terry whined. Cory quickly turned around and ran out the door. The others stared after him, before finally following him out the door.

~~

Max moaned as he stood to his feet. He reached behind him and rubbed his backside as he glared hard at Raquel who stood beside him trying hard to hold in his laughter.

“I see you still haven’t mastered landing yet,” he chuckled.

“Well I wouldn’t keep landing on my… my tail,” he quickly amended when Raquel sent him a warning glare, “If I had my wings already,” he finished.

“Trust me Max, if you can steer this one on the right path, you’ll get your wings,” Raquel assured him.

“It’s about time,” Max grumbled. “So which one is he?” he asked as they stared at the group of kids loitering in the park.

“Don’t worry, you’ll know,” Raquel answered cryptically. He placed his hand behind Max’s head and it began to glow, removing his memory like his Holiness had instructed him to do. Max felt a slight tingle before it quickly disappeared, unaware of what he was doing. Raquel dropped his hand and stepped back.

“Remember, I’ll be watching you,” he warned before fading away.

“What else is new,” Max rolled his eyes before turning back to the group of kids. He bent down and picked up an old newspaper. “Welcome to Roswell, New Mexico Max,” he sighed as he read the headline.
