Chapter ONe:
Maria looked on as the micr-bus drove away. He left her. He really left her. After all the times he professed his love, and after telling her that he would never stop loving her, he left. Maria was alone.
Liz, her once best friend, left with her fiance, Max who used to be Maria's friend too. But Maria was despensable. She hadn't been healed, and she wasn't an alien, so there was no need for her to tag along.
Michael said he did it to protect her. Right. Becuase if the FBI ever come back, he's really going to be able to protect her from 1000s of miles away.
Maria looked over at Jesse. He was miserable too. Isabel had left him here, in Roswell, to "protect" him. His WIFE. At least she and Michael were not married, but poor Jesse just lost his WIFE.
Jesse walked over to Maria and put his arm around her in a sign of solidarity. "Maria, do you need a ride home?" he asked quietly.
SHe nodded, "Yeah, though i'm not sure that's a very safe place right now." she said. She was right. If the FBI were comming for her, they kenw right where to find her.
"Why dont' you come back to the apartment?" Jesse offered. "You'll be safe there."
Maria blinked back her tears and nodded. "Ok."
They drove the the aprtment in slience. And when they got there, Maria sat on the couch. She could hold in her tears no longer. She began aballing uncontrolably.
Jesse sat next to her and comforted her, rocking her back and forht in his arms. "IT's going to be ok, Maria." he kept saying. Though he wasn't exactly sure that it was.
"Why? Why wasn't i allowed to go? He told me he loved me and left me!" Maria yelled at no one in particuar.
Her words hit Jesse hard. He let his own tears fall and mix with hers. They had both had thier hearts broken tonight. No one could possible understand what they were going through but each other. "Maria, It's hard. Trust me i know. BUt we will get through this." he promised her. And though he didn't know hoe he was going to do it, he ment it.
As Maria's tears stopped she said, "I'm kinda tired. I'm gonna go to sleep." Sleep was going to be the only way for her to dream about Michael. As much as she was pissed at him, she still loved him.
"Ok, You take the bed. I'll sleep here on the couch." Jesse said showing her into the bedroom. "Good night." he said and turned out the light.
HE laid down and thought. He couldnt leave Maria in Roswell alone. SHe was just as much in danger as the rest of them. How could they leave her behind. At least he was not really involved with the aliens for long. Maria had been keeping thier secret for years. The FBI would want her as much as them.
He had to think of what to do to keep them both safe.

Chapter 2
Maria woke up early the next morning, but aparently not earlier than Jesse becuase when he walked out into the kitchen, he was there cooking breakfast.
"Morning," he said as cheerfully as possible.
"Morning," Maria mumbled.
They ate breakfast in comfortable silence, the Maria got up. "I'm going to go to Michael's apartment. Then back to my house. I can't hide forever." she said.
Jesse didn't want to leave her alone. It wasn't safe. "Maria, i dont think that is a good idea." he said.
"I'll be fine." she said getting her jacket and walking out the door without another word.
She walked down the street to Michael's apartment. It was close by. When she got there, the door was already open and the place had been ranscked. She made her way to the bed room, climbing over dumped out drawers and turned over furnature.
She say on the bed and screamed, "WHY? Michael, why did you leave me? Why is it always ok for Max and Liz to be together and not for us? Did you ever love me?" she bawled into his sheet. She was breathing ing the smell of him. Trying to memorise it.
Finally, she got off the bed and headed to her own house. It was quite a walk, but it didn't matter. She needed some time to think anyway.
Maria was suprised when she found her own house had been turned upside down. The FBI must have been there. Looking for her. Maybe they KNEW that Michael wouldnt take her with them.
Maria went into her room and grabbed a duffle bag full of clothes, leaving everything else behind. She left a note for her mother, telling her that she was leaving Roswell, and she headed out the door to Jesse's. She wanted him to know that she was leaving.
---------
Jesse opened the door to a crying Maria. "Oh, God. Maria, what's wrong?" he asked pulling her into his arms.
"They..The..ummm...the FBI have been to Michael's apartment and my house. They went through everything. I...I gotta get out of here. I just wnated to tell you I'm leaving." Maria said to him as calmly as possible, but it wasn't working.
Jesse lifted her chin to look him in the eyes. "Maria, come to Boston with me." He said.
"What?" Maria asked bewildered.
"Isabel and i were going to move to Boston before the FBI thing happened. I got a job offer in the Litigation department of a firm there. Come with me. We need to stick together. We are stronger together than apart." Jesse pleaded. He could not let her go off on her own without any money or any plan.
"Jesse, i cont do that to you. I'm not your responsibility." Maria said. She wasn't going to be treated like a charity case.
"It's not that Maria. I dont want to be alone either. And if they ever come back, it would be better if we were in the same place, dont you think?" he said.
Maria thought. It would be nice to be with someone who knew thier secret. And Jesse did have the means to take care of her. Maybe she could go to college. "Ok," she said finally. "Let's go to Boston."

Chapter 3
"So, This is Boston?" Maria said wide-eyed. She had never been out of New Mexico, except for the short time she had spent in New York City, and she was so busy then, she didn't get to enjoy it.
"Yeah, I'm gonna go rent us a car and then its off to the house." Jesse said.
"You already got a house?" Maria asked suprised. How would he have time to get a house?
"Yeah, the uh Firm found it for us. It is in a nice neighborhood. I havn't seen it yet. But they said it was a nice house." Jesse answered. He could tell that Maria was lost and uncomfortable in the new city. He pulled her aside and said, "Maria, everything is going to be fine."
She nodded and followed him to the car rental window.
---------
Jesse followed the directions to the new house. All the houses in it were so big. He wondered what thier hosue would look like. He didn't think he could afford any of these hosues, even if he was making 350 a year.
Maria stared out the window in silence. She was still thinking about her friends, Jesse knew that. He wished he could have formed a better bond with her back in Roswell. Sure they knew each other, they shared a HIGE secret. But they never really hung out alone. He always liked Maria, and he wasn't a big fan of Michael's. But he would give anything to bring Michael back if it would put a smile on Maria's face.
He pulled into the driveway of the address he was given. The hosue was big. It was a two story, tudor style house, completely lanscaped. "Wow," Maria breathed looking at it. She had never lived in a house like this before.
"Yeah, this is pretty nice, huh?" Jesse said. He unloaded the car and made his way into the house. It was completely furnished. It was beautiful. Jesse had lived out of apartments for most of his adult life, just becase he moved around so much. It was nice to be stepping in a house that he knew was his.
-------
That night Maria and Jesse went out to dinner. They hadn't gone shopping yet, and if truth be told neither one of them could cook. Michael once told Maria that she could burn water. And Jesse was still living on the typical college diet of Subway and Ramen Noodles.
"So, what now?" Maria asked.
"I don't know. I guess we just lay low and go on with life as usual." he answerd. Though he didn't know how that was really possible.
"Well, what did you tell the firm. About me? You know. And the neighbors. What are they going to think?" she asked. She kenw it wasn't really important, but she didn't want to be asked awkard questions.
"I didn't really say anything. I havn't talked to the firm since they left. I guess we could say you are my sister, right? I mean we are both latino. It wouldn't be a huge stretch." he said with a grin.
Maria smiled back, "Ok, big bro."
Then her phone rang. "Hello?"
"MARIA? Where the hell are you? And why is the house in a mess?" Her mother screamed over the phone.
A look of terror passed across Maria's face.
"Who is that?" Jesse asked.
"My mom." Maria mouthed.
"I'm waiting for an explanation. Just because you graduated, doesn't mean you can just go off and leave a cryptic note that says: 'left town. I'll call when i can.'" Ms. Deluca shouted.
"Mom, i can't tell you where i am. Trust me. It's not safe." Maria said.
"No, that isn't good enough. Are you with Michael? Have you two run off together?" Her mom demanded.
Maria's eyes filled with tears. God, she wished she was with Michael. "No, Mom. Michael's gone. I'm not telling you where i am. It isn't safe for either one of us. I'll email you when i can. But i'm going to shit this phone off later this week. Mom, you can't call me. I need you to trust me." Maria begged.
"You arn't doing anything illegal are you?" her mom asked concerned.
"No, mom. I promise i'm not doing anything illegal. And i will call Jim with the details, he can relay them to you. Look i have to go." Maria said.
"Fine, but just tell me. Are you ok. Are you alone?"
"No, I'm with a friend. Jesse actually. I'm with Jesse. look mom i can't explain all of this right now. I hvae to go." Maria said and then hung up.
She looked back at Jesse clearly sad. "My mom is worried about me." she said stating hte obvious.
"I'm sorry Maria. I wish none of this had happened." Jesse said.
"It's ok. Its not your fault. Hey, i was in on this way before you." Maria said smiling. She just wanted to eat in peice. "Let's not talk about it. Let's just not think about aliens or Michael or Isabel or Liz, Max, or Kyle for now." Maria said.
"Sounds like a plan." Jesse said though he knew that would be eaisier said than done.
------------
Meanwhile...on the road:
Micahel missed Maria. Isabel missed Jesse. Kyle missed Maria and his dad. The only people not completely miserable were Max and Liz, and that was because they were so wrapped up in themseves they didn't care about anyone else.
Michael, Kyle, and Isabel resented them more and more everyday. They were getting married in a few days and then it would be worse. To them, this was an adventure to tell their children about. To Michael, Isabel, and Kyle this was a hell hole that enslaved them.
But what could they do? Becuase Max saved Liz, the FBI were on to them. They had to keep running. ANd they couldnt take Maria and JEsse. They weren't in danger, so why put them in danger?
It wasn't that Michael and Isabel blamed Max for saving Liz anymore. If he hadn't, michael wouldnt' have found Maria and Isabel would have never given into a human like Jesse. But it was pretty fucked up how it was Max and Liz's relationship that kept getting them in trouble, but yet it was Michael, Isabel, and Kyle who had to make all the sacrifices.

Chapter 4
On the road...
Isabel was asleep next to Kyle when he woke up with a start. She felt somthing. Something weird. LIke someone calling to her, from Roswell.
"Wat's wrong?" Michael asked.
"I dont know. I...I think we need to go back to Roswell. Someone is calling out ot me there." she said.
Michael immediatly thought it was Maria. "Was it Maria? Jesse? Who was it Isabel." He asked panicked.
"Is it my father?" Kyle asked, "I knew we shoudl have brought him with us." he said to himself.
"I dont know. All i know is that someone is in trouble." Isabel said.
Max and Liz were listening, "We can't go back," Max siad finally.
"What do you mean, we can't go back?" Michael demanded.
"What if Maria, Jesse, and Jim are in trouble." Isabel asked.
"Look, it isn't safe for us to go back. They aren'y aliens. They will be fine." Liz said as if she was the final word.
Michael stood up, "Look, Liz. I dont knwow who you have become but that could be your best friend in trouble and you dont even care." he said before walking off.
"I do care Michael. But if it is her life or all of ours, i choose US." She said.
"You're a bitch." Isabel said before walking to Michael.
"God, Who are you?" Kyle asked joining Michael and Isabel.
"Be mad all day long," Max began, "BUt know this. We are not going back to Roswell. And never talk to Liz like that again."
Isabel, Kyle and Michael jsut shrugged him off. They spent the rest of the night thrying to figure out what was oging on...
In BOston...
"So, i wonder what they are up to?" Maria asked Jesse a couple of weeks later.
"I dont know. But i can' bet that Isabel is probably ready to strangle MAx and LIz." Jesse said flipping through the channels.
"Yeah. Michael and Kyle are probably doing the same thing," Maria said staring off into space. She knew the Max and Liz's sappt relationship grated on everyone's nerves, most of all Michael. They used to have long talks about it. Michael would rant and Maria would listen. She tended to agree with him, and he knew it, but she still felt she should keep her moth shut. Liz and Max had noth at one time been her best friends.
As Maria thought of those conversations, she felt tears well up in her eyes. Jesse noticed and wrapped his arms around her. "Maria, i'm sure they are fine." He said. And he was sure that they were. If they had gotten into trouble, he knew they would contact them somehow.
"I know. I just miss them. All of them. Kyle and i had gotten really close. And Isabel and i were best friends, you know that. And of course i love Michael. My heart just hurts." Maria said.
Jess wiped a tear from her eyes and said, "I know. This has to be really hard on you. I wish i could take away the pain." and he ment it.
In the last few weeks, Jesse had come to really care for Maria. She was as spunky as Isabel had always said she was. Even though she was going through hell, she still was a little spitfire. He rememberd how fondly both Kyle and Isabel spoke of Maria. And he could understand how she became and important member of thier conspiracy so fast. He could understand how Michae loved her so much. He just couldnt understand how they could leave her.
"Jesse, I'll be fine. It hurts, but i think the pain will go away one day." In reality, she was sure that it wouldnt. But never the less, she didn't want him feeling bad.
"Hey, how about we check the email. Maybe Jim wrote back." Jesse suggested. Whenever they got emails from Jim, it usually brightened her mood. She loved hearing about her mother and Jim as well as the Evan's and Parkers. It made her feel almost like she was back in Roswell with her friends.
"Ok," she said getting off the couch.
They opened up the emial. Sure enough, Jim had written back. They opened the email and read:
Jesse and Maria,
I hope you are safe where ever you are. I want you to stay put. We have an emergency here in Roswell. The FBI has taken Amy and Diane. Dont' try to come here. They are looking for both of you. Philip, Jeff, and I are wrking on a plan to get them out. Just dont worry. They will be fine. All my love. Be safe.
Jim.
Maria collaped and Jesse caught her. "Oh God. My mom. And Diane. They have them." was all she could say as she trembled in his arms.
Jesse was jsut as scared as she was, but he couldn't show that. He needed to be strong for her.
"I have to go back. I have to go to Roswell." Maria siad finally.
"No. It isn't safe." Jesse pleaded. He would die before he saw her hurt.
"I dont care. I'm going. It's my mom." Maria said standign up.
Jesse kenw he was going to loose this battle, so he said, "Fine, but we are going together. And you arn't leaving my side."
Maria agreed and Jesse called the airlines.

"No. It isn't safe." Jesse pleaded. He would die before he saw her hurt.
"I dont care. I'm going. It's my mom." Maria said standign up.
Jesse kenw he was going to loose this battle, so he said, "Fine, but we are going together. And you arn't leaving my side."
Maria agreed and Jesse called the airlines.

Chapter 4
Jesse and Maria landed in Roswell early the next day. The quickly made thier way to the car rental place and into town.
"We should go to Valenti's before anything," Maria said. Jesse nodded and turned down the road.
When they got thier they found Jim's hosue in disaray just like Maria's and Michael's apartment. "He isn't here." Maria said, "Let's try the Evans' and the Parkers." she said.
Jesse was amazed. He knew that Maria was screaming on the inside. But she exuded an attitude of complete calm. He respected it. He could tell that Maria was a good person to hvae around in an emergency.
JEsse drove to the Evans' and then the Parker's finding the same thing. Overturned furnature, but no thing else.
"Jesse, what are we going to do? We dont know where they are holding them, and we really need Jim." Maria said starting to get hysterical.
Jesse pulled over, "Maria, we are going to find them, all of them. Just, dont worry ok?" He knew it sounded stupid, but he hated to see Maria upset. There was somthing in him that couldn't let him see her sad or upset.
"Ok, lets drive out to Dexter and get a room. We can think there. I dont think it's safe to stay at the tumble-weed." Maria said regaining her composure.
"Ok," Jesse said leaning over and kissing Maria's cheek. He didn't even know where that had come from. IT just seemed so natural.
As they drove down the road, a man at the inn on the side of the road caught Maria's eye, "Wait, jesse slow down." she said peering out her window.
"What, what is it?" he asked keeping his eyes on the road.
"Jim. It's Jim. Pull in here!" Maria yelled at Jesse. He did what he was told and parked the car next to the one that Jim had gone into.
"Eleven. They are in room eleven." Maria said getting out of the car.
"Wait. Are you sure. You want to jsut barge up to that room, what if it wasn't Jim." Jesse said. Always the reasonable one.
"I know it's him Jesse. I have to do this," maria pleaded. Jesse nodded and followed her to the room.
Jim looked throught the peephole to see who was knocking at the door. When he saw Maria and Jesse, he threw the door open and pulled them in. "What the hell are you doing here. I told you to stay where you were." He growled.
"I wasn't just going to let my mother get taken by the FBI and not do anything. And Diane was like a second mother to me." Maria said.
Then she noticed the rest of the occupants in the room. Philip, Nancy, and Jeff were all there looking at her.
"Oh Maria, you are ok." Jeff said rushign to her and hugging her.
"Yeah, I am. How are you guys?" she asked. IT was a stupid question, but she felt the need to ask.
"Ok, concidering the circumstances." Nancy said. Philip looked broken.
Maria walked over to him and said, "We will get her out. I swear that."
He smiled slightly at Maria and Jesse and hugged them tightly. "Thank you guys for comming." he cried.
"Ok, so what is the plan?" Maria said looking and JIm.
"We need someone to go in through the air duct, let me and another person in. Then we go to the white room at get Diane and Amy. Simple." Jim said.
"So they are at the air force base? Ok, well i'll go in the duct and JEsse and come with you." Maria said looking up.
"No," Jesse said, "I'm not letting you go in there by yourslef."
"Its my mom. I'm going." Maria said.
"Fine," Jim said. "It's better if the three of us go anyway. We know waht we are dealing with."
"No, I'm going too. That is my wife." Philip said.
Maria knelt down in front of him, "Mr. Evans, i love Diane like a mother. I promise you that we will bring her back safly. But we can't bring you. It's better if it's just the three of us." Maria said.
Jesse watched her in adoration. She was amazing. Her mother was locked in the white room, yet she was comforting others. It was too back Jesse hadn't gotten to know this amazing woman sooner.
"Alright, we go after dark." Jim said. Then rest of the day, Maria and Jesse got caught up on what was happening in Roswell, and they told thier adult friends about Boston.

Chapter 5
On the Road...
"We have to get bacl to Roswell." Michael said pacing the motel room he, Kyle, and ISabel had gotten by changing a piece of paper into an $100. Max didn't like them to do that, but they didn't give a fuck what Max though.
"What abot Max and Liz." Kyle asked. Truthfully, he didn't care.
"They arn't going to go back. They dont care about anyone but themselves." Isabel said, "It has to be the three of us. And we have to go soon. I feel the emotions stronger now."
"Ok, so lets go. We can get a bus. I figure it will take is about a day to get there." Michael said.
"Aliright, lets go tell the newlyweds." Kyle said sarcastically.
***
"Max, we are leaving. You adn Liz can stay out here and have your honeymoon, and pretend that life is great, but i'm not leaving our friends and family in trouble." Isabel said.
"You aren't going. We stay together." Max said as if he had control over thier actions.
"Hey! Mr. President. You arn't calling the shots. We are going. It could be my dad or Jesse, or Maria in trouble. And all you seem to care about is yourself. I guess i shouldnt be supised." Kyle said befor walking out the door.
"I have news for you Maxwell, we havn't been 'together' since you saved Liz. So deal. We will get into contact with you, if we can." Michael said. Then he and Isabel joined Kyle outside to head to the bus station.
Back in Roswell...
Valenti parked his jeep a half a mile from the base. "Ok, now are you sure you want to do this?" he asked Maria. She was the one in the most danger, they had to send her in alone.
"Yeah, i'm going. Now, we have to hurry up." Maria said walking toward the base.
Jesse and JIm followeed her untill they reached the base. Maria made her way up the wall and Jesse stopped her, "Maria, i want you to be careful. Just in and then let us in right away, ok?" Jesse said.
Maria climbed back down and hugged Jesse, "I promise to be careful. But i have to do this. There is no way you can fit in the air duct. I'll be ok." she said kissing him on the cheek. Jesse ignored the shocks that that were sent through his body when her lips met his skin.
She climbed back up the wall and into the air duct. It was tight and she was claustrophobic, but non of that mattered. She just needed to get in. She came up on a vent and saw the entrance to the building, where she knew Jim and Jesse were waiting. SHe unscrewed the vent, made sure there were not agents around and dropped to the floor. She cringed at the noise she made.
Quickly she made her way to the barred doors. She opened the door quietly and Jesse and Jim rushed in.
"Which way?" Maria asked Jim.
Silently he led the way down the hall. As they got closer to the White Room, they heard footsteps comming atound the corner. Jim ushered Maria and Jesse into the room closest to them. HE quietly shut the door and motioned for them to be quiet.
Then they looked around. They were in some kind of observations room. They saw a two way mirror and found they were looking into the White room.
Maria spotted her mom, and Mrs. Evans laying on hospital tables. "It's them!" she said going to the door.
"No," Jim said. "We dont know who is out there."
"That's my mom!" Maria reasoned.
"Ok. This is what we are goign to do," Jim said. "I'm going to shoot through the glass and jim gonna grab Amy. Jesse, you grab Diane. And we are going to get the hell out of here. Never stop running." Jim said. He knew it wasn't the best plan, but they didn't have much to work with.
Jesse and Maria nodded and covered thier faces and Jim shot out the window. Suprisingly it didn't take long, and Maria, Jesse, and Jim stepped through into the White room.
Amy's eyes fluttered open. "Can you walk?" Jim asked both of them.
Both women were clearly drugged and couldnt' understand what he was asking them. He took the initiative and flung Amy over his shoulder. Jesse did the same with Diane and they made thier way out of the room as fast as they could, Maria right behind.
As they approached the doors, Running footsteps came up behind them. "Stop!" The agents yelled. They were few, but trained and would kill if need be.
Jim, Jesse, and Maria kept running as shot fired. The agents fired every bullet in both guns they all carried, but Jim, Jesse, and Maria never halted. Adrenaline was in full gear and they ran with all thier might to the Jeep.
Jim and Jesse gently laid Amy and Diane in the very back of the car. Jim jumped in the front seat and Maria hunched against the car. "Maria, whats wrong?" Jesse yelled feeling fear in every cell of his body.
"I..." Was all she could manage.
On the Bus...
Isabel and Michael slept while Kyle stayed up to keep watch. Suddenlt Michael sat up and gasped "Maria." he yelled.
The bus passengers gae him a dirty look and turned back around. "What. What happened."
Michael doubled over in pain. "It's Maria. I can feel her. She is hurt." Michael said, terrified.

Chapter 6
Jesse pulled Maria into his lap and ripped off his shirt, putting pressure on the gunshot wound to her back. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed his friend who had helped him months before.
"Paul!" he yelled as Jim sped off down the road. "Are you in Roswell?"
"Yes," Paul answered, confused.
"Look, i need you to bring your medical stuff and meed to at the Desert Sands Inn on HW 280." Jesse said hysterically over the phone.
Maria was holding onto Jesse with everything she had, which wasn't much. "Jesse?" she kept saying over and over again.
"Maria, baby, everything is going to be ok," Jesse assured her and then turned his attention back to the phone.
"Look. I dont care how much it's going to cost. I need you to hurrt." Jesse said ernestly.
"Alright, Alight!" Paul said. "I'm comming. But isn't your wife's name Isabel?"
"I dont have time to get you up to speed now. Meet us in room Four." Jesse said and switched off the phone.
Jim noticed Maria's eyes closing her eyes, "Maria, honey, stay with us." he begged. Maria was like a daughter to him. He couldn't loose her.
Just then Jim's phone rang. Reluctantly, he answered it. "What!" he said.
"DAD?" Kyle cried. "Where are you?"
"Kyle. What are you doing calling me. Where are YOU?" Jim asked. He was delighted to hear from his son, but this wasn't a good time.
"Look. Isabel had a feeling that somthing was wrong and then Michael felt Maria hurt. Is she with you?" Kyle asked, trying to keep calm.
"Yeah. Look, I can't explain everything to you. It's bad. I'll call you when i get a chance." Jim said.
"We are almost in Roswell. Where are you? We will meet you." Kyle said.
"We are at that Inn on 280. Room Four." Jim said. and hurridly turned into the Inn parking lot.
"I'll get Amy and get Philip to grab Diane. You just get Maria inside. Lay her on the bed and keep pressure on the wound." Jim instructed.
Jesse nodded and picked Maria up in his arms. He swiftly movied into the Room. Jeff, Nancy, and Philip's eyes were glued on Maria. "What happened?" Jeff asked.
"We got them. Philip, you need to help Jim. Maria was shot. I've got a friend comming to help." Jesse said laying Maria on the bed. He pshed her hair off her face. "Maria. Everything is going to be fine. Paul is comming. He will help you. I promise, i wont let anything happen to you." he said as tears reuched down his face. He didn't even both hiding them anymore.
"SHOT?" Nancy screamed. She and Jeff rushed to Maria's side. She was like a daughter to them. liz and Maria were so close, that they felt very protective over her as well.
"Who is this Paul." Jeff asked, unsure about the situation.
"He is a friend from college. He saved Isabel's live a few months ago. He should be here any minute." jesse answered on auto-pilot.
Jim and Philip rushed in with Amy and Diane who were still incompasitated. "Now someone tell me what happened!" Philip demanded.
Jim took over, while Jesse soothed Maria. "We got in and got Amy and Diane, who have obviously been druged. As we were leaving he agents started firing at us. Maria was shot, but apparently adreniline got her to the car." Jim summed up.
"Well, is she going to be ok?" Philip asked.
No one said anything. Jesse looked up, "Of Course she is going to be ok." he said flabergasted. "There in no other option. She is going to be fine." he said more to himslef than anyone else.
Then there was a knock on the door. Jim rushed to get it, and there was Paul. "Ok. What happened." he asked.
"Maria was shot. It's a 9mm. In the back." Jim told him.
Paul moved Jesse out of the way and pulled up Maria's shirt. "Ok. I think it missed her spinal cord, but i have to get in there right away." Paul said moving into action.
He got his equipment out and began work. The rest of the group looked on, praying that Maria would be ok. Jesse prayed that God could have anything of his as long as Maria was ok. He wasn't sure, but he thought he was falling in love with her. He knew it was wrong and stupid, but he couldnt help it.
5 hours later, Maria was sewed up and stil unconscious. "Ok. Well, if infection doesn't set in she should be ok. It missed her spinal cord and major arteries. But she lost a lot of blood. She is oging ot be weak for a long time.
"THank you." Jesse cried clinging to his friend. "Thank you so much." he said finally breaking down. Paul held him as he cried.

Chapter 7
Paul placed his hand on Jesse's shoulder. Jesse we sitting nest to Maria holding her hand tightly. "We need to talk." Paul said in an i-mean-business kind of way.
Jesse reluctantly got up, "We will get you if she wakes up," Jim said. He could see that Jesse's feelings for Maria ran deep, he didn't understand, but he knew that there was somthing there.
Jesse followed Paul outside. "Whats going on, Jesse?" Paul asked.
"What do you mean?" Jesse asked.
"What do I mean?" Paul asked incredulously. "I mean. 4 months ago i saved your wife, ISABEL's, life for some unknown reason. Now, i'm here saving your girlfriend, MARIA's, life, Both of whome had been shot. I think i deserve to know what the deal is." Paul said.
"Maria isn't my girlfriend. And Isabel and I are not together anymore. She left." Jesse said, deliberatly leaving out important details.
"Well, i dont care waht you say, you have feelings for Maria. But that doesn't explain the gunshot wounds or why you couldn't take them to the damn hospital. Dont fuck with my Jesse, i wanna know what is going on."
"Fine," Jesse said, "It peobably isn't a threat to tell you know, but i swear if you tell anyone, I will kill you." Jesse said.
"Common, Jesse. You know me." Paul said.
"Isabel is an alien. So is her brother Max, who you didn't mean. And Michael. That's why he was her blood type. The FBI is after them. They couldn't go to the hospital becuase they would have been exposed." Jesse took a deep breath and continued, "Well, they left a couple months ago. The FBI had caught up to them as well as Liz, and Kyle. They left me and Maria here. So i took Maria wo Boston with me. We are living there together. Nothing is going on. But Maria's mom, and Isabel's mom was kidnaped by the FBI and we came back to get them. That's why they are drugged. Maria was shot on the way out. That's what happened." Jesse said. He couldn't belive he told his friend all that, but at this point, he and Maria were on their own and they needed him.
"Wow," Paul said. He was processing waht he had been told.
"Yeah, i just found out that night that Isabel was shot. It took alot for me to wrap my mind around it too. BUt now you see why they had to lie and keep secrets. These bastards shot Maria." Jesse explained.
"I'm sorry man. But you do know that you like Maria, right? I mean you arn't hiding it well." Paul said slipping back into friend mode.
"Yeah, but i dont knwo waht to do. I'm still married. And she still loves Michael. At least in think he does. I still hear her cry over him. She needs me and i need her. I'm not going to fuck that up with feelings." Jesse said.
Paul nodded and hugged his friend warmly.
"What is he doing here?" Jesse heard a voice that sounded distinctly like Michael Guerin.
He looked up. "What...How...Where did you guys come from?" Jesse asked seeing Kyle, Michael, and Isabel standing in front of him.
TBC...
Paul placed his hand on Jesse's shoulder. Jesse we sitting nest to Maria holding her hand tightly. "We need to talk." Paul said in an i-mean-business kind of way.
Jesse reluctantly got up, "We will get you if she wakes up," Jim said. He could see that Jesse's feelings for Maria ran deep, he didn't understand, but he knew that there was somthing there.
Jesse followed Paul outside. "Whats going on, Jesse?" Paul asked.
"What do you mean?" Jesse asked.
"What do I mean?" Paul asked incredulously. "I mean. 4 months ago i saved your wife, ISABEL's, life for some unknown reason. Now, i'm here saving your girlfriend, MARIA's, life, Both of whome had been shot. I think i deserve to know what the deal is." Paul said.
"Maria isn't my girlfriend. And Isabel and I are not together anymore. She left." Jesse said, deliberatly leaving out important details.
"Well, i dont care waht you say, you have feelings for Maria. But that doesn't explain the gunshot wounds or why you couldn't take them to the damn hospital. Dont fuck with my Jesse, i wanna know what is going on."
"Fine," Jesse said, "It peobably isn't a threat to tell you know, but i swear if you tell anyone, I will kill you." Jesse said.
"Common, Jesse. You know me." Paul said.
"Isabel is an alien. So is her brother Max, who you didn't mean. And Michael. That's why he was her blood type. The FBI is after them. They couldn't go to the hospital becuase they would have been exposed." Jesse took a deep breath and continued, "Well, they left a couple months ago. The FBI had caught up to them as well as Liz, and Kyle. They left me and Maria here. So i took Maria wo Boston with me. We are living there together. Nothing is going on. But Maria's mom, and Isabel's mom was kidnaped by the FBI and we came back to get them. That's why they are drugged. Maria was shot on the way out. That's what happened." Jesse said. He couldn't belive he told his friend all that, but at this point, he and Maria were on their own and they needed him.
"Wow," Paul said. He was processing waht he had been told.
"Yeah, i just found out that night that Isabel was shot. It took alot for me to wrap my mind around it too. BUt now you see why they had to lie and keep secrets. These bastards shot Maria." Jesse explained.

Paul nodded and hugged his friend warmly.
"What is he doing here?" Jesse heard a voice that sounded distinctly like Michael Guerin.
He looked up. "What...How...Where did you guys come from?" Jesse asked seeing Kyle, Michael, and Isabel standing in front of him.

Chapter 8
"We took a bus. Where is Maria?" Michael demanded.
"She's inside. But just wait a minute. She has been shot. Paul saved her, but she is still unconscious. So, i dont wnt you guys to frighten her." Jesse said.
Isabel could see somthing in Jesse when he talked about Maria. She shrugged it off. It was probably becuase they have gotten close once the rest of them left.
Michael and Kyle pushed thier way in between Jesse and Paul and made thier way into the hotel room. "Hey, Jesse," Isabel said timidly.
"Hey," he said not looking her in the eyes.
Isabel sighed and entered the room as well. Jesse and Paul followed behind. "What the hell happened?" Michael demanded, staring Jesse down. He knew this was Jesse's fault somehow.
Jesse didn't like the tone Michael was taking, "Well, since you LEFT us, Maria and i moved to Boston to escape the FBI, then they took Amy and Diane. We came back to save them and one of the FBI agents SHOT her." Jesse said barely below a scream. Michael had smoe nerve acting as if this was all HIS fault.
"They what?" Isabel said as tears sprang too her eyes. She ran to her father and her mother who was begining to come around.
"Oh, so all of this is MY fault." Michael challenged.
"If the shoe fits..." Jesse started but was cut off by Jim.
"Look you guys. None of this is helping. Maria is going to be fine. It was my fault if anyone's. I shouldnt hvae let her come with us. But it is over. Let's jsut thank god that Paul could save her."
Michael and Jesse backed down a little and Jesse went to Maria's side again. He held her hand and pushed her hair off her face. "It's going to be ok, Maria. I've got you. It's going to be ok."
MIchael didn't liek the way Jesse was looking at Maria and especially the way he was touching her, but what was he going to do? It was his fault if there was anything going on between Jesse and Maria. He left her. He walked out. And that was somthing he would regret for the rest of his life.
Amy had finally come around. "What happened to my baby?" she demanded. She was still unstable, so she just pointed at her unconscious daughter in Jesse's arms.
"Amy, she was shot. BUt dont worry. Paul, here, stitched her up. She is going to be fine. Just relax." Jim said wrapping his arms around th hysterical women.
"And what are you guys doing here?" Amy asked indicating Michael, Isabel, and Kyle. "I thought you left."
Slowly and calmly, Everyone in the room explained what was going on to Diane and Amy. They told amy about the aliens and leaving. To say she was suprised was a great understatement. She was in hysterics. But finally she wrapped her mond around it, seeing that it explained most of the strange events that surrounded Maria when she was in high school.
"Jesse...?" A small voice whispered. It was Maria. She was waking up.
Jesse took Maria's face in his hands. "Yes. I'm here. You're ok. It's all over." He said to her as tears came down his cheeks. This didn't go unnoticed by Isabel, Michael and Kyle. Isabel felt for him. She could tell that Jesse loved Maria. Even if he wasn't sure of it himself. And how could he not be. Isabel knew all too well how magnatic and attractive Maria's personality was. It hurt. She loved JEsse. But she had a feeling that Jesse no longer loved her.
"What...what happened?" Maria asked.
Paul checked her over and JEsse explained everything that happened after she was shot. Eveyone gave her hugs and then she noticed Michael, Isabel, and Kyle. "What are you guys doing here?" she asked trying to keep her voice as cool as possible.
"We...I felt danger and fear. So we came back as soon as we could. MAx and Liz wouldnt leave. But we did. We had to make sure you were ok." Isabel said.
"Then I felt you get shot," Michael said bitting back tears. He was so scared for her.
Maria didn't say anything. SHe was too made at them all still. She didn't want to say anything she would regret so she didn't say anything.
Finally, she looked at the faces in the room. "Ok. Well i can't stay in here with all of you. I'm getting claustrophobic. Can you carry me to a new room?" she asked looking at Jesse.
Withough hesitation, he lifted her into his arms and took her to the room he had already rented for them. Michael, Isabel, and Kyle would be right next door. And he knew they were none too please about he and Maria sharing a room. But she needed him right now. She was his number one priority.

Chapter 9
Jesse slipped into bed behind the sleeping Maria. As soon as he did, Maria snuggled into him. Jesse had to admit that is felt good to have her boddy pressed against his. He sliently scolded himself for having those thoughts.
His feelings of any pleasure were shot to hell, when he heard her whisper, "Michael," in her sleep. She thought she was with Michael. Or at least was dreaming that Michael was holding her.
Jesse pushed his feelings of jealosy aside and held her tighter. She needed him right now. Even if she thought he was Michael. She needed him, and he was going to be there for her.
*********
The next morning, Maria woke up in pain. It felt like little shards of glass were ripping through her body. She noticed Jesse in the bed next to her, so she kept quiet. She knew he much be exhasted, so she didn't want to wake him.
But her mouth was dry. She needed some water. She bet that the Parker's had some next door. Slowly and painfully she sat up and placed her feet on the floor. Her body was screaming for her to stop, but her dry mouth was begging her to get up.
Slowly, on unsteady legs, She stood. And one painful step at a time, she made her way to the door. Just before she got in arms reach of it, she collapes on the floor. Her body couldnt take any more. She screamed, unable to hold it back, and began whimpering on the carpet like a hurt dog.
Jesse bolted out of bed and to her side, "What's wrong? What are you doing up. You aren't supposed to be out of bed."
"My..." Maria started, but she was interruped by the door flying open. Michael, Isabel, and Kyle stood there.
"What the hell is going on?" Michael demanded as he went to Maria's side as well. "How could you let her get up?" He bit out at Jesse.
"I didn't." Jesse said just a cooly.
"It was my fault. I needed some water. I was trying to get to the Parker's room." Maria said as she winced in pain.
"Maria, you can't do that. You should have woken me up." Jesse said cupping her face too look at him.
"You looked so peacefull and you haev a long night. I wanted to let you sleep." Maria said.
Then she turned back to Michael, Isabel, and Kyle, "I'm fine. You guys can go back to your room." She said cooly. As much as she wanted to fogive them, her heart just wasn't letting her.
Isabel and Kyle reluctantly left, but Michael stayed behind. "No, Maria. I'm not leaving you." he said.
"You already did. Don't you remember," She said, her tone as cold as ice.
Michael looked like he had been slapped. He left the room like a dong with his tail between his legs. Jesse helped Maria back into bed and said, "Maria, promise me you arn't goign to get up. I'm going to get you a drink and have Paul come check on you." he said before leaving the room.
Maria was left with her thoughts. She was so confused. She was getting these vibes from Jesse. She had to be nuts. But she was getting these feelings that he liked her. Like more than just friends.
Then there was Isabel, Michael and Kyle. Isabel was back. So, Jesse would be going to her and trying to fix thier marriage. Plus, Maria was still hurt that her last best friend, Isabel had left her. Liz had gone haywire and Maria and Isabel had become close. Then she just left.
Maria couldn't really be upset with Kyle. He was going to go through the changes and needed to be with the aliens to get though that. But is did hurt that he didn't try to talke the other into bringing her and Jesse.
Finally, Michael. She knew that she still loved him in some way. how could she not. He was her first love. Maybe her only love. But he had been do quick to throw her away. Yet, he did come back when he felt her in trouble. But there was still a lot of hard feelings there. It hurt her the most when she watched Lix and Max stay together, while Michael wouldnt let that happen.
Maria began to cry thinking of all of it. Why hadn't they jsut taken Jesse and Her with them? Then she wouldn't be here, confused and alone. Sad and broken. She needed to talk to all of them. But she didn't know if she could deal with it.
Her thoughts were interruped by Paul entering the room with a glass of water. "How we doing?" he asked with a smile.
