Chapter 1 Liz's POV
I’m leaning against the window in my room looking out. The rain is pouring. I like the rain it comforts me. It makes Jeff go out for a while. And I leaves me calm. I should go see Max he told me too. But I can’t Jeff has me on lockdown. Till mom gets home I can only leave for school.
Mom had left for a conviction with Amy De Luca 2 days ago. And Jeff is mad. He told her to stay here. I’m kind of glad Mom is not here when he’s in this mood. But then it comes all out on me. He tells me it’s my fault that Mom is not here.
I here a knock on the door. Well it’s more like a pound on my door. Crap Jeff is back. ”Come in” I yell. Jeff opens to door and walks in. I know what’s coming next and I’m scared shitless. I should of left and went to Max’s at lest he would treat me better then Jeff.
“Well little lady what have you been up too?” Jeff asks while shutting a locking my door.
“Nothing just thinking” I say as Jeff comes over to where I’m at I can smell the liquor on his breath.
“Well Elizabeth ware’s your mom?” Jeff asks me to close to my face for my comfort.
“Out” that’s all I say I cross the room and sit in the chair I have there.
“Out where” Jeff asks. His voice is getting louder.
“I don’t know”
“You Know Now Tell Me Where!” Jeff says even louder the before. While he is pulling me up out of the chair I’m in.
“I said I don’t know” This makes Jeff grab me by the throat. He then backs me into the wall, pinning me against the wall.
“Elisabeth you do know, Nancy never leaves with out telling you” Jeff says in my ear.
“Well she did not tell me this time” I say as Jeff is wrapping his other hand around my throat he then begins to squeeze.
“You will reget that Elizabeth”

The next day I wake up in my bed. I don’t remember much from the night before. All that I remember is that. Jeff was mad; he came into my room last night. He wanted to know where mom was. And when I wouldn’t tell him he got even madder. I remember Him choking me. While he had me pined against the wall.
As I turn over my body screams in pain. It hurts so much I look down at my body. I’m still wearing the same thing I was wearing last night. But there is a red spot on my shirt. I know Jeff a hurt me till I bled. But that was after I had passed out. So I’m not sure how it happened. He most likely kicked me hard a few times.
I pull myself out of bed and head of too the bathroom. I turn on the shower as hot as I can stand it. Then strip my clothes off. And step in the shower. I let the water run down my body the heat relieving some of the pain. The water washing the blood away. But not the marks.
I have a really nasty mark on my stomach. And marks on my neck. There’s a few on my arms. Today goanna be a longer shirt day.
As I steep out of the shower. I hear something crash across the street. Then some cussing. So I garb my robe and steep out on to the balcony.
There are people all over. But one guy caches my eyes. A guy with brown hair that needs to find a hair brushing. He’s tall and looks strong. But before I can get too much in too looking at him. I hear Jeff yell for me.
I slowly steep back in my room. There Jeff stands asking were I was.
“Out on the balcony” I say to him.
“So will you tell me now where your Mom is?” Jeff asks me.
“I can’t because I don’t know where she is” I say
Jeff then grabs my by the arm and throws me on the bed.
“Yes you do” Jeff says
“She’ll be back”
Jeff then grabs my arm hard enough to leave a burse. But there’s already one there form last night.
“Go get ready for school, Oh and I would like some food I’m a little hungry” Jeff says while leaving my room.
I quickly get ready. Then go down and start breakfast. After Jeff had had his full. I leave for school. I look at my watch and notice school starts in 5 minutes. Well I’m walking so I’ll most likely be a little late.

*Crash*
I hear the crash then some cussing. I know someone dropped something. At lest its didn’t bark. Today is my first day in Roswell New Mexico. Hank diced to move out here. Why I really don’t know but here we are.
I grab a box out of the van. And start to bring it in to the house. When I look up and see a girl standing out on her balcony. She is grouse. Dark long hair. Which is wet probably from a shower? This is why she’s in the robe. But before I can look at her more she’s turning and going back in to the house.
“Michel” I hear called at me.
“YES” I yell back.
“Ready for school” Hank says while coming up to me
“School hank we just got here.” I say
“Well off to school, don’t you want me to be a good dad?” Hank says
“You’re anything but” I say under my breath
“What was the” Hank asks
“Nothing so what’s the name of this school”
“Roswell High”
“Ok see you later” I say while heading off hoping I’m heading the right way.
As I walk to school I start to think. Maybe this move might help. Maybe Hank will treat me better. I know I’m only hoping. But somehow I think there’s something here in this alien town for me. I just wish I knew what it was.

I pull open the door to the school. I’m late again. Everyone is staring at me. But I really don’t care. I keep walking in my overalls. I see Maria and try to turn away I don’t want him to see me.
“LIZ!” I hear Maria yell.
I turn around to run smack into her. “Were have you been girl” Maria says a little too happily for my taste.
“No where just over slept” I lie to her “Maria I’m late see you later” I say while running off.
“Ok Liz see you later” Maria yells after me.
I keep running not even watching were I was going. All of a sudden I’m on the floor I must have run into something. Looking up I notice its Max who I ran into.
“Oh Max, sorry” I say putting my head down.
“Where were you last night Liz?” Max asks standing there while I’m trying to stand up.
“Max dad doesn’t want me to go out. I can’t disobey” I say
“Well I’m seeing you tonight Liz or you will regret it” Max says in my ear.
“Ok I’ll see you then Max” I say while leveing. I turn to corner and wait till Max is gone. The bell had already rang. So the halls are empty.

Chapter 4 Part 1 Michael’s POV
I’m at the door to my class. About to open the door. That is when I see her leaning against the wall tears in her eyes. But she won’t let them fall. She’s the same girl I sew earlier today. I see her fall down to the ground crying. I so want to go over to where she is. But when I go the door opens.
“Is this your class” The teacher asks.
“Um is this the art calss” I say
“Yes come on in” she says letting me go by.
“Liz you coming” I hear her say
“Ya coming” Liz says
Then she comes in to the class. Liz is her name. Liz the girl I saw the girl who was crying. I note to my self to talk to her later.
Chapter 4 Part 2 Liz’s POV
I’m against the wall want to cry so badly. I won’t give Max the satisfactshion. Even though he can’t see me right now. But I can’t handle this right now. I lat the tears come. I sit on the ground and cry.
“Liz coming” the teacher says to me.
“Ya coming” I say to her
I pull my self off the ground and walk over to my class. That’s when I see him he’s standing by the door. I go and sit down in my set in the back of the class. And sink down in the chair. God he’s nice looking. The teacher introduces him to the class, as Michael Guerin. Then she tells him to go take the set next to me. He comes and sits next to me. He reaches his hand out and says hi to me.
“Hi I’m Liz” I say
“Ya I herd” he says then turns his head to look at what the teacher is talking about.
Crap he probably saw my crying.

I’m standing there at lunch trying to figure out where to sit. I notice Liz come in and go t the back to sit. To me it looks like she’s trying to be invisible. But she can’t she to Drop Dead Gorgeous in my opinion. She sit’s down and pulls a sandwich out of her brown paper bag. She opens up a book and starts reading as she takes a bite out of her sandwich.
I then look down at my hands and notice. I’m carrying a brown paper bag with a book too. Wired most likely. I pack my lunch or no food for me at lunch. As for the book well I just love reading. I’m most likely one of the biggest geeks here.
I go and walk over to where Liz is sitting.
“Mind if I sit down” I say to her
She looks up surprised. Her big brown eyes asking why I would want to sit with her.
“Um sure” she says moving her bag so I have a place to sit.
I slide in next to her placing my bag on the table and look over her shoulder to see what she is reading. When I notice I'm surprised
“Good book” I say
She looks up putting her book away to talk to me. Well at lest hope that.
“You’ve read Utopia” Liz asks me like it’s hard to believe
“Yep not my favorite book, but still on the top of my list.” I say then I take a bit out of my sandwich.
“I would picture as a type not to read, well anything” Liz says
“Why’s that?” I ask I’m really curious about that comment. I mean ya most people don’t think I read stuff like that but not readding anything is kind of wired in my mind.
Liz points to a guy “That’s Kyle, he’s a jock the last thing he picked up that was even close to a book would be a PlayBoy.”
Then she point’s to another guy. “That’s Max now he’s a Science Geek like myself but other then stuff having to do with Science he does not read. You’re the type of guy in-between them. Not an only PlayBoy guy but not a Geek. So why would you read?”
“Because Liz, reading is an escape form this life. A place to take you somewhere else.” I say then stand up and walk away.
