Chapter 11 -she bends and she breaks
When Liz walked into that room, Liz expected her friends to be there; what she didn’t expect them to look so different. There in front of her were Alex, Isabel, Maria, and of coarse Michael. There were also a couple of people she didn’t recognize in the room. A woman with long brown hair and a tall frame was standing near the fire place and a man with medium dirty brown hair was sitting next to Isabel, but they all had open gazes and wide eyes painted on. One could say they looked like they had seen a ghost, although in this case they were looking at one.
Liz felt Max’s hand squeeze hers for comfort as they walked further into the room. The further she got into that room the more she felt herself shrinking. She felt as though she was three feet tall while everyone studied her.
If she bends, then she breaks
She loves you but then she takes it away
Maria cried out a gasp with tears falling down her face; she looked like the one taking it the hardest. She couldn’t blame her, because she’d be doing the same in her position. “Liz… is it her; is it really her?” she asked Max before he nodded to her answer. “I don’t understand. How could this be?” Isabel asked with a confused and teary gaze.
Max started to explain everything from the granolith all the way to her arrival. No one interrupted Max, not even when he paused in between. They all listen so intently; it was so different from Liz’s world. When they had a group meeting, everyone was either jumping to conclusions or asking the same questions over and over again. She guessed that after all the years of such meetings they had learned to listen rather than to form a riot.
“Look I know it wasn’t the best thing to do without asking you guys, but do not tell me that you aren’t happy that this happened,” Max stated calmly. They all had their heads down as if hiding from the truthful statement.
“He’s right; I’ll admit it. Right now, I don’t care about rules anymore… and I’m not going to argue with him, because I would have done the same thing if I had known about the granolith,” Maria stated without hesitation. She looked back at Liz. Her face mirrored Liz’s as they both had tears streaming down their faces. As Maria began to walk towards her, Liz smiled and pulled her into a tight hug as they cried into each other’s arms.
She bends and she bows
She's cold, but she melts like snow
Isabel, who had been sitting dumb founded, was now walking over to Liz with her hand over her mouth. It was an attempt to simmer down her cries of joy. Maria pulled Isabel into the hug as they wept together and as the others watched them in happiness. They were all so overwhelmed with the situation; it didn’t seem as though it was really happening. It felt like a dream, and not like reality.
Bend and I'll break you
Sleep and I'll wake you tonight
“I missed you so much Liz,” Maria cried in her shoulder. Liz let out a painful sob as she was drowning in an emotion she didn’t quit understand. Maria and Isabel were holding her so tight and they were crying so hard. She could almost feel their pain of loosing her. She knew they were crying over a different person and from a different time, but she was ignored the thought for the moment.
When they finally let go, she saw Alex behind them and gave him a warm teary smile with which he returned. Alex swooped her up in his arms with a hug that brought her feet off the ground. “Lizzie,” he whispered in her ear. She smiled brightly at him when he let her back down and brushed her tears away with his thumb. When his eyes left hers and went to Michael’s, she could see his eyes holding back tears. Apparently, the little breakdown between the girls had brought his walls down. He finally realized this was his sister in front of him, and he’d missed her more than he could ever express, and Liz could see it. She waited until he held his arms out to her to give him a needed embrace. “I’m sorry about the whole trying to kill ya thing,” he joked; it only made Liz laugh and hold him tighter. “It’s not like it’s happened before,” she returned.
Letting go of Michael, Liz glanced back at Max who was smiling with glazed eyes as well. This was the first time in long wile that he’d seen them happy. Ever since…the accident, they had grown apart. Each one had been dealing with her death in his own way. Now that she was back, it was as if the group was immediately reforming because of her arrival. They were a complete family again.
The brunette woman and dirty blonde haired mystery people were about to give her a hug before Max jumped in. “Liz, this is Serena and Eric,” he introduced. They gave him questioning looks for his introduction to her two good friends, so he explained, “Technically, she’s never met you two before…it was before her time.” “My God, how old are you?” Eric asked. “Nineteen,” her answer stumbled everyone. They all assumed that she was young, but they weren’t expecting her to be practically a kid.
“So she doesn’t remember anything in the past ten years?” Maria asked in disbelief. “Well, I gave her a brief vision of what’s happened lately, but she won’t remember any details,” Max explained as he hugged her waist from behind.
Liz was overwhelmed with all this. Not only was she in the future, but also she didn’t remember anything about it. She felt drained and completely alone. As if Max felt her emotion, he told the group they’d discus it tomorrow. “Max are you kidding I just got my best friend back. What makes you think I’m going to let her out of my sight,” Maria asked. Liz smiled slightly at her; she really did love Maria, always would. “Maria,” Michael pleaded as he turned his gaze to Liz’s tired face and back to her. She studied Liz’s weary eyes and got the message. “Ok, but don’t be surprised when I show up early in the morning on your front door step,” she warned before giving Liz another long hug.
“I love you,” Maria whispered before Michael took her hand and started to walk towards the door.
Michael didn’t need Max to tell him that she needed some rest. He couldn’t even imagine what his sister was going through, so for Liz’s sake he pulled Maria towards the door and told the others that they’d meet here again tomorrow. Max gave him an appreciative look, with which Michael nodded his head and took off.
Hey, don't you want to understand?
Understand that
If she bends, then she breaks
She bends, she breaks
When he came out of the house, Serena was waiting for him. “Michael, there’s something you should know. I didn’t want to tell the others in there because it didn’t look like they could handle it, so I kept it to myself but we’ve got a massive problem,” she sighed out. By her expression Michael could tell that whatever he was about to hear wasn’t something he wanted to know. “Liz can’t stay here. She doesn’t belong here. If she stays here…” she stumbled. “If she stays what?” Michael asked cautiously. “…She’ll die, Michael.”
....She bends, and then she breaks
