Part 11
Heaven knows you're with me now
Heaven knows that you're here
I feel your breath all around me now
And all the pain just disappears
It goes away, it goes away
-Vetical Horizon-When you cry
Three Months Later.....
"Maria, you look amazing Michael is going to have to have his jaw put back on after he sees you." Liz looked at Maria, she was wearing a blood red dress, that made her look like Marilyn Monroe.
"Surely, you jest." Maria laughed next to Liz on Liz's bed. "So who will it be tonight?" Maria turned to Liz and looked her in the eyes.
"Uh Zan I think, I'm really getting better using my powers. Ryan's working the grill tonight, so that Michael can go out with this babe." Liz weakly smiled. For the last three months either Zan or Ryan had been with her teaching her how to use her powers. Rath had been helping Kyle, Lonnie helped Alex, and Ava helped Maria, they were all getting better. Ryan was also training Kait, Lexie, and Billy.
"Well, im out. I love you chica. You know Liz, liking Ryan wouldn't be the end of the world. Max isn't here and who knows when or if hes coming back." And with that said Maria was gone. Maria had gotten really good with knowing how people feel, thats exactly how she felt. She was starting to like Ryan, more then she should. And deep down she liked Zan too, he was Max but a different Max, but still Max. She was so confused. She didn't know what to do, Max had left her without evening say goodbye, true she had been in Chicago but still. Zan had been acting like Max so his parents didn't think he dropped off the planet. This made her think more of Max.
"Liz."
"Oh Ava, wow I’m sorry I was totally in another world." Ava had been standing there for about five minutes staring at Liz, wondering what Liz had that made Zan so totally in love with her.
And it only hurts, when you cry
I'm alone inside, when there's tears in your eyes
I can't hide and say I'm fine
But it only hurts, when you cry
~~~~~
"Now space boy, there is only one rule tonight. I am queen got it? I want everything and I want it like a queen." Maria knew Michael would go along with whatever she said, because he could see in her eyes that he was the most beautiful thing in the world.
"You got it Queeny." Michael kissed Maria lightly on the lips, but sent her a flash of there first kiss. Today was there one year anniversary and he wanted to make it special. He knew he was an ass, but tonight he wanted to be prince charming. Just as he leaned into give her another kiss, Zan busted in.
"We got problems."
"Well go tell it to Liz because we have plans." Michael had grown to trust Zan, but he still didn't trust Rath, it might have something to do with the way Rath looked at Maria.
"Tess is back."
You carry too much on your shoulders
I can't wait till you let me down
Cause the only thing we're getting is older
This time never comes back around
You just gave it, gave it away
~~~~~
"Alex stop it." Isabel said laughing as he tickled her.
"Say it Say it."
"You’re the best boyfriend in the world."
"Not what I was looking for. Come on Izzy you know what I want to hear." He looked her right in the eyes and said it softly.
"I love you Alex." Just as they went to kiss Isabel's cell phone rang.
"Ignore it." Alex kissed her like there was not tomorrow. He kissed her neck and her cheeks and just as he was about to make his way down, Isabel's cell phone gone off again. Alex groined and got up.
"Hello, what? Okay yeah we will be right there." Isabel hung up got uh and went by Alex's she put her head on his shoulder and he stared out the window. "That was Michael, we have to go to the crashdown."
"We don’t have to, we can stay here." Alex kissed her again, he wanted them to be alone tonight. They needed the alone time. As much as he loved his friends, Isabel was the love of his life and he needed to be alone with her before he went mad.
"We have to this time Alex, Tess is back." With that Isabel went to get her coat and set out for the front door.
And it only hurts, when you cry
I'm alone inside, when there's tears in your eyes
I can't hide and say I'm fine
But it only hurts, when you cry
When you cry
~~~~~
"Liz, you can do this. We have to get in contact with Max. And you’re the only link. Isabel tried and he blocked her or didn't want her there. You two our connected whether you like it or not." Michael was looking at her, this was his sister and yet he couldn't protect her the way he wanted.
"I'll try but I don't think I can do it."
"Sure you can kid." Ava took her hand. "Just close your eyes and focus all your energy on Max." Liz closed her eyes and did this.
Heaven knows you're with me now
And I'll do my best to hold on
Cause nothing is worth all this fighting now
And I won't give up till it's gone
Make it go away, go away
Make it go away, go away
~~~~~
Max had been gone three months and yet he still didn't want to go back he had no reason to. Liz didn't want him, and he wasn't sure if he wanted her. Of course he did, but he didn't want to put her in harm. And being with her caused her not only pain but danger.
"Max!" Max looked around but saw nothing, he was finally losing his mind. "Max" He heard it again and then he blacked out.
"Max, thank god. It worked. You need to come home Max. Tess is back, we need you Please come back."
"Liz, how what huh?" Max was confused. "Where am I?"
"I kind of made you pass out so I could talk to you, we are in the place you feel most safe. I would have never expected here to be the place." They were in the crashdown, or at least what Max saw as the crashdown. "Zan and Ryan taught me how to do this. Max I can't hold on much longer, you need to come back. We need you."
Max woke up with a jolt, was that a mind warp or was Liz really in trouble, we wasn't going to wait around for an answer. He got into the car he had bought before going on his trip and headed back to Roswell.
Cause it only hurts, when you cry
I'm alone inside, when there's tears in your eyes
I can't hide and say I'm fine
But it only hurts, when you cry
~~~~~~~
"Liz." Ryan had come out unto the roof with her.
"When Max healed me I thought that we would be bounded forever. When he kissed me we became one. When Tess came we became nothing." Liz was crying she couldn't help it. Everything was so messed up.
"Liz, everything is going to be ok. I won’t let anything happen to you. I promise." Ryan then started kissing her tears away. Liz warped her arms around him and held on tight
"I know." Liz knew that Ryan wouldn't let anything happen to her. "Ryan." She looked up into his dark eyes, a color blue that she couldn't even explain. Ryan looked into her brown eyes and then he knew the time was right. He kissed her on the lips with as much passion as he felt for her.
~~~~~~~~
“Liz, are you okay?” Maria had was sitting on the edge of Liz’s bed, waiting for a response she already knew.
“Maria, I am so confused. Kissing Ryan it felt right. I mean it was nothing like kissing Max. It was so different, but better almost. I am so confused.” Liz was laying on her bed hugging her pillow to her.
“Things change, just because you were with Max once doesn’t mean you will be with him now, in this lifetime. I mean some things change. Its not bad.” Maria had no idea to say. She knew Liz was confused and so was she. Ryan was a great guy but Max and Liz they just were. What did that mean though? Maria has always thought they be together no matter what, it seems like they had been together all their lives even though they hadn’t.
“I don’t know what to do.”
“Breathe, live, experience.”
~~~~~
"Kait wait!" Kait had saw Ryan kissing Liz and became furious and hurt. Ryan was hers, at least he use to be before he just left her. Did she even love him anymore?
"Kyle, I really need to go. I have to get back and do homework." Kait had been staying with Kyle and Sheriff Valenti. Kyle and Kait had become really close friends, but Kyle felt something more for her.
"You're lying. Come on what’s wrong." Kyle had just seen her tears and all he could do was warp his arms around her.
"I waited for him; I knew he would come back to me. The day before he left he had told me he loved me. Then he left, he just left. I waited for him, even when he was there I waited for him." Kyle didn't have to ask who, he already knew, Ryan. Kyle looked into her eyes. She was beautiful, long brown hair, about 5*6 and these soulful green eyes. They weren't just green they were emerald, and they were all Kyle could think about.
Kait had never really looked into Kyle's eyes, they were blue and when she looked into them she saw the ocean.
"Kait, Buddha says everything happens for a reason.” Kyle was stuttering, he couldn’t help but lean in and kiss her.
"Oh God Kyle!" Kait could feel her heart beat, a chill went down her spine. She kissed him again and she had a flash. It was her in the center of his universe.
"Where you been all my life?" Kyle smiled at Kait, he had finally found someone to love.
"Aw and here I thought you had a thing for me Kyle, but you already forgot me." Kyle looked over his shoulder.
"Tess."

Everyone see's Who i appear to be, But only a few know the real me. You only see what I choose to show, And there's so much behind my smile you don't know.
Part 12
Baby, I know you cannot hear me now
'Cause you're fast asleep
But I love you now
Colors inside your head go spinning around
Like a ferris wheel
Exploding and falling to the ground
Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming
My baby, she's dreaming
Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking
I'm just staring at the ceiling
Waiting for the feeling
Oh, oh but when she calls,
I know she's the one
Makes me want her harder
Makes me want to be a little stronger
Still I see monsters
Still I see monsters
-Ryan Adams- I see Monsters

"Max, Oh god Max your bleeding." Liz looked at her hand that was full of Max's blood. "Oh God Max, wait here ill get zan."
"No Liz, don't leave me it's to late."
"No Max, Zan can heal you. Just hold on."
"I can't Liz, please just stay with me. "Liz leaned down and kissed Max. "I love you Liz." And with that Max Evan died.
"No Max, open your eyes, open your eyes Max."
"Liz, Liz." Liz looked up and saw no one, but it seemed that the light was going out and it was getting darker, and again she heard someone call her name. "Liz, Liz"

Part 13
Wait a minute now, I'll see you when I come back
I could be sharing someone else's pillow
And my love for you is better than diamonds
To you, everything I bestow
-Mundy-To you i bestow
"Liz, Liz, Jesus Wake up." Liz opened her eyes and found that Michael was shaking her and everyone was around her, they must have all been down in Crashdown.
"Uh, what’s going on?" Liz looked around a little confused on what was going on.
"We heard you screaming, Max, Max. It was horrible we thought you were being attacked." Maria was the first to talk, she looked concerned. Liz looked around trying to remember what she had dreamt. She met Ryan’s eyes, and it came back to her, all of it, Max dead.
"Oh my God, I dreamt that Max was killed oh God Max. Isabel we have to find Max." Liz could feel the sting in her eyes, the taste of tears in her mouth.
"Lizi its okay, we will find Max. You have been having this nightmare a lot earlier. I think it is just nerves. " Michael had gotten into the habit of calling her Lizi and being protective since he found out that was his sister.
"Okay guys, get out, and give Liz space. Liz why don't you take a cold shower. Out out out. Come on now I don’t want to have to get all alien on you all. OUT!" Maria was so pushy when she wanted to be, and Liz thanked her for it. "Uh space boy that includes you, unless you get your rocks off being blasted through a wall." Michael got up mumbling something. "Okay Liz, go take a shower cool off. I'll hold everyone off."
"Thanks Maria." Liz got up and gave Maria a big hug and then Maria left.
And tomorrow, I'll be dancin' on my own
And I'll need a kiss for my head that's achin'
And I'll be a hungry dog without a bone
Hoping my place with you's not taken
~~~~~~
"Hey have you guys seen Kait or Kyle?" Ryan hadn't seen anyone since last night.
"Nope." Billy was reading a book.
"Should we worried?"
"Nope."
"Worried about?" Alex came and sat down next to Ryan.
"Kait and Kyle, no one has seen them since last night."
"Uh yeah I would say that would be something to be worried about."
"Ya think?"
“But I am sure it is nothing. I mean seriously if I were you I would be trying to get away from my x not looking for her.”
Kiss me and tell me it's not broken
Kiss me and kiss me 'til I'm dead
See, I give you the stars from the bruised evening sky
And a crown of jewels for your head now
For your head now
For your head now
For your head
~~~~~
"Kyle, Kyle wake up." Kait was trying her best to stay calm, she wasn't scared of Tess, Tess was nothing compared to Kait. "Damnit." Kait concentrated as hard as she could, like Ryan had taught her, she was trying to use her powers to loosen the ropes. "Screw it." Tess hadn't been back for hours, so she tried to channel Ryan or Liz. "God in heaven." Kait was getting pissed and Kyle was still knocked out cold. "Kyle wake the hell up." she kicked him and she heard him moan.
"What? Where are we?"
"No freakin clue." Kait turned her body so her hands where towards his. "Use your powers and get me free."
"What? What if I blow off your hands?" Good point, so Kait put her feet on his lap.
"Just think about it, I trust you." She was shaking so bad, she wanted to be able to walk again. She closed her eyes real right and when she opened them her legs were free. "Oh god, thank you. Way to go Kyle. Are you okay?"
"Yeah got a hell of a head ache but I’ll live. Where did she go?"
"No idea, but I want to be gone before she comes back." She got up and get started to use her teeth to untie Kyle.
"Quite the handy mouth you got there." Kait rolled her eyes. Kyle got up and they went to find the door to get out of there.
"Where the hell are we?"
“I don’t know.” Kyle looked around. They were in the middle of the desert in an abandoned warehouse.
“This is not good. She knew she would eventual wake up and use our powers. I don’t like this. She must have something planned that involved us being gone for a few days.” Kait looked around and saw no signs or anything that could help them. “You have lived here your whole life, which way do we start walking?”
“Walking?”
“Yep.”
“Kait we are at least 20 miles outside Roswell if not more.”
“Well then we better get started we got a long walk in front of us. I’ll be the Jenny to your Forrest k?”
“What does that mean?”
“It means we are going to start running in an direction with the only reason being just cause we felt like it.”
One last night in bed for a time
And two more wishes and both are for thine
And three guesses, you're the angel's child
Four hopes that this love's not spoiled

Part 14
She seemed dressed in all of me, stretched across my shame.
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything to have her to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.
-Slipknot-Vermillion Part 2
"Liz, she's just trying to mess with you. Don't let her get the best of you. It would make you the weak one when she is the one whose weak." Liz knew Ryan was right, but how could she forget Tess standing in her room even if it was for only a short time.
"I know, it's just I dunno, she was after something. Searching for something. She was in my head, but I blocked her."
"That's my girl."
"Ryan, we need to talk." Liz knew she had been putting off talking to him about their kiss but she couldn't much longer. Ryan had to know it was coming.
"Spill." Ryan tensed at those words; the words meant the end of the world, or at least his.
"The kiss, it was uh great, and I know I wanted it. But I'm still kind of with Max. Well okay I’m not really with him, but I need to know what’s going on before I can let go and move on. I mean we were meant for each other." The last part sounded more like a question then a statement.
"Right. No I totally understand Liz. But I think our king abandoned us. I don't think he's coming back." Ryan couldn't hide the hurt in her eyes and Liz couldn't hide the wanting in hers. All she wanted was a normal life, but they left normal a long time ago.
"He's coming back, Ryan. I feel it."
“Liz, I hope he is. I mean he is my brother I want him to come back but I think that right now all we got is each other.” Liz sighed and Ryan went to leave. “Just cause life for us isn’t normal doesn’t mean we don’t deserve to be happy and free to date who we want.” Ryan walked out and shut the door without even looking back. What he wanted to say was that was one life and this is another one.
~~~~~~
"Alex, can you get me a pop while you're in there too?" Isabel laid in her bed in complete heaven. She and Alex had just sealed their relationship; there would be no going back.
"Of course my queen." Alex shouted back from the kitchen, he was in shock, how could he ever think that Isabel was anyone else’s then his. Alex walked in with everything a girl wants: chocolate, pop, and himself.
"That was great, wow." Isabel looked up and smiled at Alex.
"Thank You Thank you."
"Oh Alex, we did something normal. And it was wow, yeah words can't explain it."
"Well what can I say, what I lack in everything else I make up for in the sheets."
"I love you Alex."
"I think we both know, I love you."
"Why don't we just move in together? I mean it be safer for both of us, we could get an apartment and a dog. We could be together."
She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable, Shes a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.
~~~~~~~
"Rath and Lonnie, what can I get for you?" Maria and Ava were the only ones working today, besides Zan and Michael who were in the kitchen.
"I'll have Saturn Rings and a Will Smith."
"Okay and how about you Rath?" Maria waited, tapping her pen on her pad.
"Uh, a Sigourney Weaver and a cherry coke."
"Okay be right back."
"God Rath, why don't you just unravel your tongue and let her walk on it? That way her shoes wont get dirty."
"You know Lon, I wouldn't talk I saw the way you look at Ryan. Kind of hot and heavy."
"Yeah well Ryan is free, Maria and Michael are almost married. It makes me sick." Rath knew this; he knew it because Michael reminded him every time he was around. Rath was head over heals in love with Maria, but he couldn't figure out why. Lonnie and he had been together in another life, maybe there was more then he knew.
But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me

"Kyle, look we are back in Roswell. We have to tell the others now."
"Tell them what, hey sorry we were gone and you didn't look for us, but hey we have a trader in our group whose going to kill us."
"Yep, lets go."
"Your insane, what if they already took out the others? We can't beat them."
"Yes we can and we will lets go now."
A catch in my throat choke
Torn into pieces
I won't, nO!
I don't wanna be this...
~~~~~~
"Billy, Did Ryan ever find Kyle and Kait?" Ava called out from the shower, she has just got back from her shift at the Crashdown. She was really beginning to love Roswell.
"No, he said he's not real worried. Lonnie said she heard him and Kait talking about taking a camping trip and leaving this chaos."
"But wouldn't they tell us."
"I dunno, Kait’s different, who knows."
"She's not that different." Ava started to get out of the shower when she heard a thud. "Billy?" She slowly put her hand out to fend anyone off. She walked out of the room and saw that Billy wasn't there.
"Hey don’t shoot." Billy walked in with a pop.
"I heard something."
"Yeah me dropping the pop. Why so jumpy?"
"I just feel like something’s coming, I don’t know. I guess it didn't help watching Aliens last night."
"Uh okay."
But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me

"Isabel, I'm home." Max opened Isabel's door.
"ZAN get out of here what’s wrong with you." Isabel quickly tried to cover herself up and Alex's mouth dropped to the floor.
"Oh sorry." Max hadn't even caught the fact she called him Zan. Isabel grabbed her robe and went to yell at Zan.
"Zan, dear God, what is wrong with you? Has Liz hit you in the head to many times? Next time you go into my room without knocking I’m going to blow your head off." Isabel was done yelling and then she looked him, really looked at him, something was different.
"I'm Max, not Zan." Max looked down like he often did when he was embarrassed.
"Max? You’re home." Isabel quickly hugged him and started to cry. "We have missed you so much." Something was different about him though, Isabel couldn't figure out what.
"I know, I should have come back sooner. I'm sorry."
"Let me go change we got to get to the crashdown, everyone has to see." Max eyes were blank as if he didn't know what the crashdown was, but Isabel had turned around before she noticed.
She isn't real
I can't make her real
She isn't real
I can't make her real
“What’s the deal with Rath?” Michael was flipping burgers while Zan was making some onion rings.
“What?”
“I mean can we trust him.”
“Michael, Rath is you with some differences. Can we trust you?” Zan just looked at him and Michael shut up.
“Space Boy, where are my burgers and Saturn rings?” Maria was growing impatient lately and she didn’t know why. Just everything was getting more confusing, not only did she have her feelings but she had everyone others feelings too.
“They are coming, jeeze, where’s the fire Maria?”
“I can tell you where its not, between us.” Maria mumbled that and started to walk away.
“What?” Michael hadn’t heard her but he wasn’t too concerned she always had a smart ass comment for everything.
“Nothing Michael.”
Part 15
You and I,
we’re two of a kind,
I hate to say it but you’ll never relate,
what makes you tick?
It makes me smile.
You said that I should get away from it all,
and bury my head in the sand if I want to,
I think you…
should thank me now.
-Pete Yorn- Just Another
"Maria, Orders up." Michael like usual throw her order on the counter and Maria grabbed it. Michael watched as Maria walked over to Rath and Lonnie’s table, Michael also noticed as Rath's eyes almost jumped out of his socket. He hated Rath not because he looked at his girlfriend like that but because he didn't trust him. Rath looked just like him and acted like him, and Michael didn't even trust himself, so how was he supposed to trust his "twin"? Zan said the same thing that they were the same but something wasn’t the same.
"Hey Spaceboy, a little more cooking and little less day dreaming." Maria looked at Michael then looked to where he was looking and saw Rath looking at her. She knew it
"Maria, can you work for me tomorrow?" Liz was writing down something as she spoke.
"Uh yeah why?"
"I decided that I'm not waiting for Max, I am just going to move on. I have a date."
"A date? Oh my god, you never told me!!! With who, where, when, details chica." Maria was so excited that Liz finally opened her eyes before she had to do an intervention.
"Uh, well it's with Ryan and it’s not a date date it’s just a date. I'm not sure where. And you know when." Liz didn't even look up to address her best friend, was she lying?
"Liz, what are you really up to?" But before Maria got her answer Kait and Kyle ran in.
~~~~~~
Kait ran into crashdown hoping that Lonnie wasn't in here, she didn't have enough strength to help the battle.
"KYLE, KAIT!!!" Maria came over shouting and hugging them. "Where were you guys? We were worried."
"We have a problem, we have a traitor." Kyle was the one to speak, knowing that Kait was worse then he was. Both were tired and needed food, but Kait had hurt her ankle and was in major pain. On top of that she had a fat lip and a black eye. Kyle just had a bump on the head.
"Who?" Liz looked concern as she walked over, and was cautious to make sure they weren't shape shifters.
"Me." Liz and Maria turned around to see Lonnie standing there. She looked so confident not realizing she was out numbered.
"What?" Rath got up and backed away slowly, he had no idea, and Michael didn't buy it.
"That's right lover, I'm the traitor. I get bored with this world so fast; I don't want to be here. Kavir and Tess had something I couldn't pass, a ticket home." No one had any idea what to say. Everyone was so stunned they would of never thought it be her. "What are you going to do about it?"
"We are going to kill you." Michael was behind her, she was stuck. Lonnie looked a little worried but she was trying to hide it by looking everyone in they eye.
"Let her go, Go Lonnie and if I ever see you again I will kill you. I will make sure of that." Liz was the one to speak, she knew destroying Lonnie would make no difference, they would still have Kivar and Tess to worry about and at least with Lonnie they knew how to hurt her.
You were lying wide awake in the garden,
trying to get over your stardom,
and I could never see you depart us
and you’re my baby,
you’re just another girl.
I never mind the way I had to see ya,
my working on a day show never explains why I see you
and I feel your pain.
~~~~~~~~~
“Are you guys okay?” Maria ran up to Kait and Kyle.
“Yeah, I think we are. Kait hurt her ankle running, and Tess did the rest. I just have a bump on the head.
“Zan can heal you guys, let me go get him.” Maria went to get Zan who was talking to Rath.
“Liz, I don’t know why they took us. But I have a feeling it wasn’t just to get us to exercise.” Kait sat down and looked around. “Everything seems normal, is everything normal? Nothing happened?”
“No but now I wish we kept Lonnie to see what they are up to.”
~~~~~~~~
"Max, are you ready?" Isabel was looking at her brother; she could tell that he was worried. "Maybe we should wait till tomorrow." Isabel looked at Alex for some support.
"Isabel, I'm not a baby, I can do this. I'm just worried what everyone is going to say." With that said Max walked into the crashdown.
I love to wear my work inside of my head,
I can’t complain but you should never react the way you did,
I feel your time.
You were lying wide awake in the garden,
trying to get over your stardom,
and I could never see you depart us
and you’re my baby…
~~~~~~
"Max." Maria looked stunned as she saw Max walk in. It took her a second to realize this wasn't a dream. "Michael, Michael, come here. NOW!"
"What? Do you see a spider you need me to kill, I'm watching hockey." Michael said this walking out of the kitchen.
"Hi Michael." Max was so happy to see his friend; he had missed him so much.
"Maxwell." Michael started to walk towards him, surprised and worried. He didn't want this to be a dream. Michael gave him a hug, surprising Max a great deal.
"It's so good to see you." Maria went over to Max and looked him the eye. He looked older, but he was Max and right now they need Max.
"Thanks Maria, Listen guys I just wanna say now that I'm sorry I wasn't the king I should have been. I shouldn't have just left; I just needed to figure this all out."
"Max, we understand." Maria knew why Max left and she felt like some of the reason was still there, Liz.
"Hey Maria, can I borrow that red dress from you for my date tomorrow?" Liz was saying this as she walked down the stairs.
"Date huh?" Max looked Liz straight in the eyes.
"Max" Liz whispered.
"Uh yeah, uh come on Michael, let’s fill in Alex and Isabel on what’s going on." Maria knew that Max wanted to be alone with Liz, to explain.
"Maria, Max is here, it can wait. Ow." Maria had elbowed him hard in the ribs. Giving him the look that Michael knew. "Oh okay, yeah good idea come on guys lets go upstairs." They all left to go upstairs.
Max started to walk towards Liz he stopped when he was 5 feet away from her. She looked into her brown eyes, and realized that the reason he left wasn't the reason he thought.
"Why?" Liz couldn't form a sentence, she had worried for the last few months and now when he was here, she wanted to run right into his arms.
"Because i love you." Liz could feel a tear fall down her cheek and she felt as Max kissed it away.
"That's not a reason." Liz backed away, she didn't want to let him, and she didn't want to admit that she wasn't as strong as she thought.
"I didn't want to hurt you."
"You hurt me when you slept with Tess."
"You hurt me when you made me believe you slept with Kyle."
"That's different."
"How?"
"I was trying to safe the world." Max couldn't help but smile at this. Liz was his, they were meant to be, no matter what Liz would always be his.
"I'm sorry." Max hurt his hand under her chin and moved her head up so she would have to look at him. "I only came home because I got your message."
"You did?" Liz was surprised she was almost sure it didn’t work.
"That's why I'm here." Liz looked into Max's brown eyes, words were lost.
"Oh."
"Liz, I'm also here because I love you and I don’t want to lose you, ever." Max leaned down and kissed Liz lightly on the lips not knowing what she would do.
"Oh Max, I have missed you. But this right here, you and me, I don’t think it will ever be the same.” Liz backed away and went upstairs.
And you were lying wide awake in the garden,
trying to get over your stardom,
and I could never see you depart us
and you’re my baby,
you’re just another girl,
just another girl
Part 16
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
Nothing's quite the same now

--Gary Allen/Vertical Horizon—Best I ever had
"When are you parents coming back?" Maria was lying on Liz's bed watching TV.
"I talked to my mom yesterday. She said that it might be a while, I guess grandma is worse than they thought." Liz's parents had left her in control of the Crashdown and she didn't know what she would do without her friends. They had become like a family in the last month. Max had been the best about it all. He was helping out as much as he could. They were starting out slow Liz wanted to make sure it felt right. Tonight was the night though. Michael and Maria were living with her. Ava stayed when she was fighting with Zan..
"When is Max picking you up?"
"Oh about ten minutes ago."
"Are you late or is he late?"
"Hey, it takes a lot to look this beautiful."
"Liz you could wear a sack and Max would still drool."
"How do I look?" Maria ran over to Liz and hugged her.
"Oh my god Liz. Red is so your color. You look wow. Yeah you are gonna knock him dead."
"Liz Max is here." Michael called up from the stairs.
"Good Luck." Maria hugged Liz and could feel how nervous she was.
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had
~~~~~~~
"Alex isn't this place great. I love it. It's perfect." Isabel was walking around the sixth apartment they had looked at that day.
"It is perfect." Alex liked it and they could afford it with what they made helping with the crashdown.
"If Liz gave us extra shirts think of what we could do with it." Isabel was so excited. She ran over to Alex and kissed him.
"I love you Izzy."
"Alex, this is what I have been dreaming of."
"We'll take it."
So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely
Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better
~~~~~~~~~
"Kyle, Stop." Kait couldn't stop laughing at Kyle. She was so happy with him. She had completely forgotten about Ryan and it felt great.
"Kait, I was thinking." Kyle stopped tickling her and looked her in the eyes.
"Thinking can be a very dangerous thing. Especially for you." Kait laughed but then she was serious. "What’s up?"
"I just wanted to say that I love you."
"I love you too Kyle." With that Kait kissed him and got her first flash it was a flash of there previous life. They were always meant to be.
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had
~~~~~~
"Ryan are you sure?" Zan looked at Ryan with doubt.
"Yes I'm sure." Ryan was pacing.
"You’re sure it was a skin?" Rath looked worried.
"Yes, I picked it up and it became dust."
"So what we leave?" Zan knew what Ryan was thinking that they couldn’t take them all on.
"Yes."
"No way. No one is going to go for that. We don't know who they are and they may not know who all of us are. We can take them." Rath didn't want to leave. He finally found a place he liked and a girl.
And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right
~~~~~~~~~
"Liz you look beautiful." Max was star struck, Liz looked beautiful.
"Thanks Max." Liz kissed him on the cheek. "You look good too."
"Bye guys."
"Hey have my sister home by 11." Michael was really into this brotherly love thing.
"Michael!" Liz didn't even have to look at him.
Liz was quiet the whole night and Max had noticed. After dinner they went for a walk.
"Liz what’s wrong?" Max was concerned he didn’t want Liz to be upset about something. Liz didn't even answer him she just kissed him. They sat under the stars and kissed.
"Max, I love you so much." Liz started to kiss his neck and he unzipped her dress.
"Liz, I need you." Max started to kiss her neck and nibble on her ear. Liz was in heaven she felt like she was floating.
"Max not here. Not like this." It was hard for her to stop, it felt so good and she wanted him. She needed to feel safe in his arms.
"Okay." Max kissed her and zipped her dress back up. "Oh god Liz I am so glad I came back and we are together again I missed you so much."
"Max, I missed you too. But I am still not sure this is gonna be enough. You might run off again. I don’t know if I can trust you Max."
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
What was it you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted
~~~~~~~~
"Michael, I need to talk to you." Maria had been waiting to get him alone, to tell him that she wanted space or did she?
"What I do now?" Michael walked in with a Snapple. Maria made sure she was not close to anything that could explode and hurt her.
""Michael, I don’t know about us. I mean everything is so messed up. I am afraid that we have lost what we had. Michael, I don’t even know who I am anymore. All I feel is everyone else’s emotion and yours. I don’t even know if I love you anymore." Maria put her hands over her head and waited. Sure enough the vase on the other side exploded.
"What?"
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best I ever had
The best I ever had
The best I ever
~~~~~
“So, we still haven’t figured out why they took you guys.” Ava was sitting next to Kait on the bed. They had all been staying with Kyle and his dad. “Maybe they just saw you and thought they could bully you or something. Who knows?”
“Yeah I guess. So I think we should find a place to stay. I mean like a real place. Liz, Michael, and Maria live together; Zan, Rath, and Ryan are staying at Michael’s old place. It’s just you me, Billy, and Ava here.” Kait didn’t want to leave the Valenti’s but she thought it was probably a good idea.
“Yeah me and Billy were thinking about that. I mean between the three of us we could afford an apartment.”
“Awwww you are planning to leave your love Kyle, Why Kait I’m Shocked. You two were always together. The two best fighters on Antar.”
“Nicholas.”
She seemed dressed in all of me, stretched across my shame.
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything to have her to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.
-Slipknot-Vermillion Part 2
"Liz, she's just trying to mess with you. Don't let her get the best of you. It would make you the weak one when she is the one whose weak." Liz knew Ryan was right, but how could she forget Tess standing in her room even if it was for only a short time.
"I know, it's just I dunno, she was after something. Searching for something. She was in my head, but I blocked her."
"That's my girl."
"Ryan, we need to talk." Liz knew she had been putting off talking to him about their kiss but she couldn't much longer. Ryan had to know it was coming.
"Spill." Ryan tensed at those words; the words meant the end of the world, or at least his.
"The kiss, it was uh great, and I know I wanted it. But I'm still kind of with Max. Well okay I’m not really with him, but I need to know what’s going on before I can let go and move on. I mean we were meant for each other." The last part sounded more like a question then a statement.
"Right. No I totally understand Liz. But I think our king abandoned us. I don't think he's coming back." Ryan couldn't hide the hurt in her eyes and Liz couldn't hide the wanting in hers. All she wanted was a normal life, but they left normal a long time ago.
"He's coming back, Ryan. I feel it."
“Liz, I hope he is. I mean he is my brother I want him to come back but I think that right now all we got is each other.” Liz sighed and Ryan went to leave. “Just cause life for us isn’t normal doesn’t mean we don’t deserve to be happy and free to date who we want.” Ryan walked out and shut the door without even looking back. What he wanted to say was that was one life and this is another one.
~~~~~~
"Alex, can you get me a pop while you're in there too?" Isabel laid in her bed in complete heaven. She and Alex had just sealed their relationship; there would be no going back.
"Of course my queen." Alex shouted back from the kitchen, he was in shock, how could he ever think that Isabel was anyone else’s then his. Alex walked in with everything a girl wants: chocolate, pop, and himself.
"That was great, wow." Isabel looked up and smiled at Alex.
"Thank You Thank you."
"Oh Alex, we did something normal. And it was wow, yeah words can't explain it."
"Well what can I say, what I lack in everything else I make up for in the sheets."
"I love you Alex."
"I think we both know, I love you."
"Why don't we just move in together? I mean it be safer for both of us, we could get an apartment and a dog. We could be together."
She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable, Shes a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.
~~~~~~~
"Rath and Lonnie, what can I get for you?" Maria and Ava were the only ones working today, besides Zan and Michael who were in the kitchen.
"I'll have Saturn Rings and a Will Smith."
"Okay and how about you Rath?" Maria waited, tapping her pen on her pad.
"Uh, a Sigourney Weaver and a cherry coke."
"Okay be right back."
"God Rath, why don't you just unravel your tongue and let her walk on it? That way her shoes wont get dirty."
"You know Lon, I wouldn't talk I saw the way you look at Ryan. Kind of hot and heavy."
"Yeah well Ryan is free, Maria and Michael are almost married. It makes me sick." Rath knew this; he knew it because Michael reminded him every time he was around. Rath was head over heals in love with Maria, but he couldn't figure out why. Lonnie and he had been together in another life, maybe there was more then he knew.
But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me

"Kyle, look we are back in Roswell. We have to tell the others now."
"Tell them what, hey sorry we were gone and you didn't look for us, but hey we have a trader in our group whose going to kill us."
"Yep, lets go."
"Your insane, what if they already took out the others? We can't beat them."
"Yes we can and we will lets go now."
A catch in my throat choke
Torn into pieces
I won't, nO!
I don't wanna be this...
~~~~~~
"Billy, Did Ryan ever find Kyle and Kait?" Ava called out from the shower, she has just got back from her shift at the Crashdown. She was really beginning to love Roswell.
"No, he said he's not real worried. Lonnie said she heard him and Kait talking about taking a camping trip and leaving this chaos."
"But wouldn't they tell us."
"I dunno, Kait’s different, who knows."
"She's not that different." Ava started to get out of the shower when she heard a thud. "Billy?" She slowly put her hand out to fend anyone off. She walked out of the room and saw that Billy wasn't there.
"Hey don’t shoot." Billy walked in with a pop.
"I heard something."
"Yeah me dropping the pop. Why so jumpy?"
"I just feel like something’s coming, I don’t know. I guess it didn't help watching Aliens last night."
"Uh okay."
But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me

"Isabel, I'm home." Max opened Isabel's door.
"ZAN get out of here what’s wrong with you." Isabel quickly tried to cover herself up and Alex's mouth dropped to the floor.
"Oh sorry." Max hadn't even caught the fact she called him Zan. Isabel grabbed her robe and went to yell at Zan.
"Zan, dear God, what is wrong with you? Has Liz hit you in the head to many times? Next time you go into my room without knocking I’m going to blow your head off." Isabel was done yelling and then she looked him, really looked at him, something was different.
"I'm Max, not Zan." Max looked down like he often did when he was embarrassed.
"Max? You’re home." Isabel quickly hugged him and started to cry. "We have missed you so much." Something was different about him though, Isabel couldn't figure out what.
"I know, I should have come back sooner. I'm sorry."
"Let me go change we got to get to the crashdown, everyone has to see." Max eyes were blank as if he didn't know what the crashdown was, but Isabel had turned around before she noticed.
She isn't real
I can't make her real
She isn't real
I can't make her real
“What’s the deal with Rath?” Michael was flipping burgers while Zan was making some onion rings.
“What?”
“I mean can we trust him.”
“Michael, Rath is you with some differences. Can we trust you?” Zan just looked at him and Michael shut up.
“Space Boy, where are my burgers and Saturn rings?” Maria was growing impatient lately and she didn’t know why. Just everything was getting more confusing, not only did she have her feelings but she had everyone others feelings too.
“They are coming, jeeze, where’s the fire Maria?”
“I can tell you where its not, between us.” Maria mumbled that and started to walk away.
“What?” Michael hadn’t heard her but he wasn’t too concerned she always had a smart ass comment for everything.
“Nothing Michael.”
Part 15
You and I,
we’re two of a kind,
I hate to say it but you’ll never relate,
what makes you tick?
It makes me smile.
You said that I should get away from it all,
and bury my head in the sand if I want to,
I think you…
should thank me now.

"Maria, Orders up." Michael like usual throw her order on the counter and Maria grabbed it. Michael watched as Maria walked over to Rath and Lonnie’s table, Michael also noticed as Rath's eyes almost jumped out of his socket. He hated Rath not because he looked at his girlfriend like that but because he didn't trust him. Rath looked just like him and acted like him, and Michael didn't even trust himself, so how was he supposed to trust his "twin"? Zan said the same thing that they were the same but something wasn’t the same.
"Hey Spaceboy, a little more cooking and little less day dreaming." Maria looked at Michael then looked to where he was looking and saw Rath looking at her. She knew it
"Maria, can you work for me tomorrow?" Liz was writing down something as she spoke.
"Uh yeah why?"
"I decided that I'm not waiting for Max, I am just going to move on. I have a date."
"A date? Oh my god, you never told me!!! With who, where, when, details chica." Maria was so excited that Liz finally opened her eyes before she had to do an intervention.
"Uh, well it's with Ryan and it’s not a date date it’s just a date. I'm not sure where. And you know when." Liz didn't even look up to address her best friend, was she lying?
"Liz, what are you really up to?" But before Maria got her answer Kait and Kyle ran in.
~~~~~~
Kait ran into crashdown hoping that Lonnie wasn't in here, she didn't have enough strength to help the battle.
"KYLE, KAIT!!!" Maria came over shouting and hugging them. "Where were you guys? We were worried."
"We have a problem, we have a traitor." Kyle was the one to speak, knowing that Kait was worse then he was. Both were tired and needed food, but Kait had hurt her ankle and was in major pain. On top of that she had a fat lip and a black eye. Kyle just had a bump on the head.
"Who?" Liz looked concern as she walked over, and was cautious to make sure they weren't shape shifters.
"Me." Liz and Maria turned around to see Lonnie standing there. She looked so confident not realizing she was out numbered.
"What?" Rath got up and backed away slowly, he had no idea, and Michael didn't buy it.

“Are you guys okay?” Maria ran up to Kait and Kyle.
“Yeah, I think we are. Kait hurt her ankle running, and Tess did the rest. I just have a bump on the head.
“Zan can heal you guys, let me go get him.” Maria went to get Zan who was talking to Rath.
“Liz, I don’t know why they took us. But I have a feeling it wasn’t just to get us to exercise.” Kait sat down and looked around. “Everything seems normal, is everything normal? Nothing happened?”
“No but now I wish we kept Lonnie to see what they are up to.”

"Max." Maria looked stunned as she saw Max walk in. It took her a second to realize this wasn't a dream. "Michael, Michael, come here. NOW!"
"What? Do you see a spider you need me to kill, I'm watching hockey." Michael said this walking out of the kitchen.
"Hi Michael." Max was so happy to see his friend; he had missed him so much.
"Maxwell." Michael started to walk towards him, surprised and worried. He didn't want this to be a dream. Michael gave him a hug, surprising Max a great deal.
"It's so good to see you." Maria went over to Max and looked him the eye. He looked older, but he was Max and right now they need Max.

"I didn't want to hurt you."
"You hurt me when you slept with Tess."
"You hurt me when you made me believe you slept with Kyle."
"That's different."
"How?"
"I was trying to safe the world." Max couldn't help but smile at this. Liz was his, they were meant to be, no matter what Liz would always be his.
"I'm sorry." Max hurt his hand under her chin and moved her head up so she would have to look at him. "I only came home because I got your message."
"You did?" Liz was surprised she was almost sure it didn’t work.
"That's why I'm here." Liz looked into Max's brown eyes, words were lost.
"Oh."
"Liz, I'm also here because I love you and I don’t want to lose you, ever." Max leaned down and kissed Liz lightly on the lips not knowing what she would do.
"Oh Max, I have missed you. But this right here, you and me, I don’t think it will ever be the same.” Liz backed away and went upstairs.
And you were lying wide awake in the garden,

"When are you parents coming back?" Maria was lying on Liz's bed watching TV.
"I talked to my mom yesterday. She said that it might be a while, I guess grandma is worse than they thought."

"Oh about ten minutes ago."
"Are you late or is he late?"
"Hey, it takes a lot to look this beautiful."
"Liz you could wear a sack and Max would still drool."
"How do I look?" Maria ran over to Liz and hugged her.
"Oh my god Liz. Red is so your color. You look wow. Yeah you are gonna knock him dead."
"Liz Max is here." Michael called up from the stairs.
"Good Luck." Maria hugged Liz and could feel how nervous she was.
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had
~~~~~~~
"Alex isn't this place great. I love it. It's perfect." Isabel was walking around the sixth apartment they had looked at that day.
"It is perfect." Alex liked it and they could afford it with what they made helping with the crashdown.
"If Liz gave us extra shirts think of what we could do with it." Isabel was so excited. She ran over to Alex and kissed him.
"I love you Izzy."
"Alex, this is what I have been dreaming of."
"We'll take it."
So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely
Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better
~~~~~~~~~
"Kyle, Stop." Kait couldn't stop laughing at Kyle. She was so happy with him. She had completely forgotten about Ryan and it felt great.
"Kait, I was thinking." Kyle stopped tickling her and looked her in the eyes.
"Thinking can be a very dangerous thing. Especially for you." Kait laughed but then she was serious. "What’s up?"
"I just wanted to say that I love you."
"I love you too Kyle." With that Kait kissed him and got her first flash it was a flash of there previous life. They were always meant to be.
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had
~~~~~~
"Ryan are you sure?" Zan looked at Ryan with doubt.
"Yes I'm sure." Ryan was pacing.
"You’re sure it was a skin?" Rath looked worried.
"Yes, I picked it up and it became dust."
"So what we leave?" Zan knew what Ryan was thinking that they couldn’t take them all on.
"Yes."
"No way. No one is going to go for that. We don't know who they are and they may not know who all of us are. We can take them." Rath didn't want to leave. He finally found a place he liked and a girl.
And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right
~~~~~~~~~
"Liz you look beautiful." Max was star struck, Liz looked beautiful.
"Thanks Max." Liz kissed him on the cheek. "You look good too."
"Bye guys."
"Hey have my sister home by 11." Michael was really into this brotherly love thing.
"Michael!" Liz didn't even have to look at him.
Liz was quiet the whole night and Max had noticed. After dinner they went for a walk.
"Liz what’s wrong?" Max was concerned he didn’t want Liz to be upset about something. Liz didn't even answer him she just kissed him. They sat under the stars and kissed.
"Max, I love you so much." Liz started to kiss his neck and he unzipped her dress.
"Liz, I need you." Max started to kiss her neck and nibble on her ear. Liz was in heaven she felt like she was floating.
"Max not here. Not like this." It was hard for her to stop, it felt so good and she wanted him. She needed to feel safe in his arms.
"Okay." Max kissed her and zipped her dress back up. "Oh god Liz I am so glad I came back and we are together again I missed you so much."
"Max, I missed you too. But I am still not sure this is gonna be enough. You might run off again. I don’t know if I can trust you Max."
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
What was it you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted
~~~~~~~~
"Michael, I need to talk to you." Maria had been waiting to get him alone, to tell him that she wanted space or did she?
"What I do now?" Michael walked in with a Snapple. Maria made sure she was not close to anything that could explode and hurt her.
""Michael, I don’t know about us. I mean everything is so messed up. I am afraid that we have lost what we had. Michael, I don’t even know who I am anymore. All I feel is everyone else’s emotion and yours. I don’t even know if I love you anymore." Maria put her hands over her head and waited. Sure enough the vase on the other side exploded.
"What?"
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best I ever had
The best I ever had
The best I ever
~~~~~
“So, we still haven’t figured out why they took you guys.” Ava was sitting next to Kait on the bed. They had all been staying with Kyle and his dad. “Maybe they just saw you and thought they could bully you or something. Who knows?”
“Yeah I guess. So I think we should find a place to stay. I mean like a real place. Liz, Michael, and Maria live together; Zan, Rath, and Ryan are staying at Michael’s old place. It’s just you me, Billy, and Ava here.” Kait didn’t want to leave the Valenti’s but she thought it was probably a good idea.
“Yeah me and Billy were thinking about that. I mean between the three of us we could afford an apartment.”
“Awwww you are planning to leave your love Kyle, Why Kait I’m Shocked. You two were always together. The two best fighters on Antar.”
“Nicholas.”

Everyone see's Who i appear to be, But only a few know the real me. You only see what I choose to show, And there's so much behind my smile you don't know.
Part 17
Breathe again
I'm living on your air tonight
Never knowing when you'll cut me off.
Oh you have a way
That makes it hard to sleep alone.
And just when the dream gets good
You always seem to have to go.

"I can't believe this is how it is all ending." Isabel
looked around and saw everyone together and couldn't
believe it.
"This isn't ending. We all need to leave and go our
separate ways Isabel. Its safer that way." Ryan
looked around he knew that everyone was going to leave
in pairs.
"How will we find each other?" Maria was trying to
keep it all in but she could feel the tears hitting
her cheek.
"Liz." Zan didn't like this idea but he knew it had to
be done they had no other choice.
"How will I know when it’s safe?" Liz was hanging on to
Max she was scared.
"Ryan will tell you." Rath was looking around at
everyone.
"We need to break up in threes or fours. We need to
try to stay together as much as we can.' Ryan looked
around at everyone seeing how the idea set with
everyone.
"Who goes with who?" Alex had been standing next to
Isabel trying to comfort her.
"Well, Max, Liz and me. Isabel, Alex, Kait, and Kyle.
Maria, Michael, and Rath. Eva and Zan can off alone or
tag alone with something." Ryan didn't even look at
Max he knew he wouldn't like it.
"No Way! Rath can't come and I can't leave my sisters
alone." Michael had no interest in spending time with
Rath no matter what.
"Then what do you suggest Michael? We don't have time
for this. We have to leave and soon or we will end
like Billy." Maria was worried she could
feel the danger.
So...
Here I am alone again
Waiting for the story to finally end.
While the world
Spins around
It's out of my hands.
Don't even try to understand.
One Month earlier.........
"Max stop it." Max was kissing Liz's neck as they laid
in her bed.
"What you dont like it?" Max looked at Liz with a
devilish smile. Liz loved it he knew that but she
had to go and work. Although 15 minutes wouldn’t hurt
anything. Liz started to kiss Max, she was sucking on
his lower lip. He loved it when she did that.
"Oh Liz, I love you." Max couldn't control himself
anymore he started to kiss down Liz's Neck. He took
her shirt off and was kissing down her stomach.
"Hey Liz you're gonna be late..."Michael just walked
into Liz's room without knocking.
"Michael get out." Liz grabbed the sheets and yelled
at Michael.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Michael was furious.
And I guess it's time to tell you
What you should already know.
Oh you know
I'm better breathing on my own.
All alone.
~~~~~~~~~
Maria was sitting in a booth at the Crashdown when Michael came storming down. Maria had been getting a little jealous of how Michael was worried and jealous about Liz all the time. Yes it was his sister and yes it was her best friend. Maria was looking at Michael and she couldn't remember why she loved him. She has told him that she would give him one more chance, but nothing had changed.
"Yo Maria are you listening to me?" Michael was looking at her strangely.
"Yeah." Maria had no idea what he said. Maybe it was time to take a break. Lately they had seemed to be off, they had tried to rekindle it but alien stuff was getting in the way all the time. She just needed some time.
"Maria, hello."
"Michael we need to talk."
And I guess it's time to tell you
What you should already know.
Oh you know
I'm better breathing on my own.
All alone.
~~~~~~~
"Ready Nicholas?"
Your like an angle with the
sweetest smile
but when you use it your one
evil child oh oh
thats what brings me back again
--Majandra Delfino- Bring me Back

"Kait, do you mind closing tonight?" Kait was cleaning up a table, she had been working since opening.
"Why?"
"Maria went over to Alex's and Isabel's, I'm going out, Billy is here. Rath, Eva, and Zan seem to have disappeared off the planet but that’s only when I’m looking for them. Please Kait I will work for you any day I promise. Please please please!!!."
"Fine."
"Thank you so much. See you guys later." Liz walked out and never looked back. As soon as she walked out a family should walked in. Kait when to the table they were sitting at.
"Hello What can I get for you?" Kait looked into the boys eyes and felt a chill go down her back, she felt like she knew him.

time
the other half you 'aint no friend
of mine no oh
Thats what brings me back again
I love you on your best behavoir
I love you more when you are 'doin

~~~~~~~~~~
"Max this is incredible." Liz was so thankful that Max was back in her life how could she ever be without him.
"Liz I love you so much." Max started to kiss Liz. Liz loved it when Max kissed her and all the flashes she saw. Max started to take off Liz's shirt.
"I sense that you are going to be very lucky tonight."
"Oh yeah how so?" Liz started to take Max's shirt off and kiss down his chest. Max started to take her pants off when his cell phone went off.
"Where is your phone?" Liz was digging deep into Max's pants, almost toying with him. She finally found it and shut it off and threw it in the back seat of the car.
You said you liked her yesterday and
now your tellin' me I can stay
It's how all your crazy mess a plays
Bring me back better bring me back better bring
me back you bring me back
~~~~~~~~~~~
"You will never get what you want from us." Kait was laying on the floor looking up at the teenage boy who had come in with his "family".
"You don't remember me, but I remember you. Then you were known as Trinity and you were the greatest women warrior ever. But you were stupid." Nicholas laughed a chilling laugh.
"You can't kill me."
"How do you know?"
"You would of all ready killed me." Kait was hurt but not badly.
"No, I want you alive. I want you to tell your little friends that I’m coming back for them. I left them a message in the kitchen consider yourself the messenger." Nicholas left after he said that along with the older women and man that came in with him.
"BILLY." Kait screamed and then passed out.
Breathe again

Part 18
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
--Chasing Cars Snow Patrol
“Michael I swear to God if you don’t start picking up your Snapple bottles I am going to seriously lose it.” Maria, Michael, Rath, and Zan had been living together for the past six months and she was sick of cleaning up after everyone. She thought she would never miss Roswell but she did.
“Chill out Maria. I’m sorry.” Maria rolled her eyes as she walked away from Michael. She had been doing that a lot lately. Michael and her had been at each others throats the last few months. Nothing was ever peachy but it was starting to get worse and she knew she had to do something.
“Maria. I said I was sorry.” Michael was worried that Maria had stopped loving him. He loved her and wanted to be with her but he just couldn’t understand Maria. He never understood Maria but they always made it work.
“Yo. What up?” Rath and Zan just walked in from working. They had all gotten jobs at a local restaurant. It was close and they would be able to work together which was a perk incase Nicholas found them. Michael looked at them and walked away. He really hated living with Rath. He hated Rath but had no idea why. Rath personally thought it was because they were so much alike and that Michael didn’t like himself. Zan looked at Maria who looked like she was in a trance.
“What’s wrong Maria?” Zan went to stand by her but stop once he got close. He saw the look in her eyes.
“We need to go now. Pack a bag of clothes grab the money and lets go. They are almost here. I can feel them. We need to GO!!” Maria ran into her room and grabbed a bag and started jamming stuff into it. Since leaving Roswell Michael, Rath, and Zan had all helped her with her powers and now she was very powerful. She sensed everything. Which was hard on her with all the testosterone in the room but it was good for their safety.
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
“Max, seriously stop hahaha that tickles.”
“Liz, I love you so much. Lets just do it. Lets just get married.” Max had been asking Liz to marry him since they left Roswell and every time she said no. They had rented a house with Ryan and Eva. They loved it and it was perfect. They all worked together because Liz said it was best. Although Max had a suspicion that she had gotten that bit of info from Maria. Maria and Liz could not call each other but he was sure that in her dreams she met with Maria and that they were spent hours together. He also assumed that she communicated with Alex too, he was sure that she could not live this long without her best friends.
“Max, No. Please stop asking you know I won’t say yes until we are all together. I want my friends and family to be there.” Liz had wanted to say yes but knew that if she did Maria and Alex would kill her not to mention Michael who she just couldn’t believe was her brother. Liz got up and went into the kitchen where Ryan and Eva were. Since leaving Roswell she had gotten extremely close with both. Eva was nothing like Tess.
“Hey Liz. Do you guys want to go out tonight and maybe see a movie or something? It’s the first time we have all had the same night off in a long time. We deserve some fun.” Its true that they deserved some fun. They had worked so hard to save money incase they had to run and now they saved enough to start over new if they had to.
“Okay. I am in but I can’t speak for Max. But I am sure he is in…..” All of a sudden Liz dropped to the ground. She looked as if she had been put in a trance.
“LIZ LIZ” Eva and Ryan ran over to her. Max came running from the bedroom.
“What happened? Liz?” Max picked up Liz and put her in the bed.
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
“Kait.” Kyle had just got home and he knew that Iz and Alex were on their way to work. Alex had suggested they all work in the same place.
“In here Kyle.” Kait and Kyle had really started to get serious. Kait loved Kyle with all her heart and soul, she knew that they would always be together.
“I saw Iz and Alex. They said to meet them at 7 so we can get some dinner. They said they found a new place to eat.” Since Roswell Kyle had been happy everything was normal. Well not normal normal but normal in the sense that he wasn’t looking behind his back every 10 seconds, not it was only every minute. Kait and Kyle had been practicing their powers with Isabel and they were starting to show improvement which Kyle was really excited about.
“Okay. Well that gives us a few hours to just chill. Oh by the way there is a letter for you on the table. I think it might be from your dad. I thought you said he didn’t know where you are?” Kyle had really missed his dad but he still called for five seconds at a time just to let his dad know he was okay.
“He doesn’t so it is not from him.” Kyle looked at the envelope and knew it wasn’t from his dad. He figured it junk.
“Oh Okay. Well then, what do you want to do?”
“Lets just hang out. Watch a movie.”
“Okay but not aliens again. They give me the wiggys.”
“Wiggys?”
“Shut up. Kyle, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Alex and Isabel were walking hand and hand into the place they worked. It was not anything too exciting. Alex was a computer repair person and Isabel was the cashier but they were happy and that’s what mattered most to them.
“Alex, I was wondering do you think that maybe we can take a weekend trip. Just a getaway just you and me, I mean how great would that be. Not that I don’t love Kait and Kyle but just a weekend of us, that would be heavenly.” Isabel had loved living with Alex she had felt like they were a married and loved the feeling. She missed Michael and Max but he made it better.
“Ryan told us not to separate Iz. I don’t know if it is safe.” Alex had wanted to go away for a weekend but what id something happened.
“You’re right but maybe soon. Can’t we just plan it out just for fun.” Isabel and Alex walked into Wally’s Computer World and got straight to work. Isabel didn’t mind working but it was boring sometimes. Sometimes no one would come in for hours. She took her break and went in the back with Alex.
“God it is so slow. Why do they need three cashiers when it is so slow.” Isabel sat next to Alex who was repairing a computer.
“Well it is certainly not slow back here. Stupid people and their Porn, they need to not download it so much. That is where half the virus’s are from.”
“Well at least you have work to do I mean I sit up and there and smile and do nothing. I mean seriously sometimes I melt stuff just for fun.” Isabel smiled she knew she wasn’t suppose to do those things in public but its not like anyone would come into Wally’s World. She looked at Alex and saw a flash of something in his eyes and then he passed out.
“Alex. Alex.”

“Okay. Well that gives us a few hours to just chill. Oh by the way there is a letter for you on the table. I think it might be from your dad. I thought you said he didn’t know where you are?” Kyle had really missed his dad but he still called for five seconds at a time just to let his dad know he was okay.
“He doesn’t so it is not from him.” Kyle looked at the envelope and knew it wasn’t from his dad. He figured it junk.
“Oh Okay. Well then, what do you want to do?”
“Lets just hang out. Watch a movie.”
“Okay but not aliens again. They give me the wiggys.”
“Wiggys?”
“Shut up. Kyle, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Alex and Isabel were walking hand and hand into the place they worked. It was not anything too exciting. Alex was a computer repair person and Isabel was the cashier but they were happy and that’s what mattered most to them.
“Alex, I was wondering do you think that maybe we can take a weekend trip. Just a getaway just you and me, I mean how great would that be. Not that I don’t love Kait and Kyle but just a weekend of us, that would be heavenly.” Isabel had loved living with Alex she had felt like they were a married and loved the feeling. She missed Michael and Max but he made it better.
“Ryan told us not to separate Iz. I don’t know if it is safe.” Alex had wanted to go away for a weekend but what id something happened.
“You’re right but maybe soon. Can’t we just plan it out just for fun.” Isabel and Alex walked into Wally’s Computer World and got straight to work. Isabel didn’t mind working but it was boring sometimes. Sometimes no one would come in for hours. She took her break and went in the back with Alex.
“God it is so slow. Why do they need three cashiers when it is so slow.” Isabel sat next to Alex who was repairing a computer.
“Well it is certainly not slow back here. Stupid people and their Porn, they need to not download it so much. That is where half the virus’s are from.”
“Well at least you have work to do I mean I sit up and there and smile and do nothing. I mean seriously sometimes I melt stuff just for fun.” Isabel smiled she knew she wasn’t suppose to do those things in public but its not like anyone would come into Wally’s World. She looked at Alex and saw a flash of something in his eyes and then he passed out.
“Alex. Alex.”
Everyone see's Who i appear to be, But only a few know the real me. You only see what I choose to show, And there's so much behind my smile you don't know.

Part 19
Sorry I'm only
Human you know me
Grown up oh no guess again
My days always
Dry up and blow away
Sometimes I could do that too
But make no mistake that
--Tragedy Brandi Carlile
“Ava get a cold rag and put it under Liz’s neck she feels like she is burning up. LIZ LIZ. Wake up damnit, LIZ!’
******
“Where am I?” Liz had no idea what happened. The last thing she remembered was talking to Ava. “Hello. Hello.” Liz looked around her. She recognized where she was, she was on her roof at the Crash Down.
“Liz?” Liz turned around and saw Alex.
“Alex.” Liz ran towards Alex and hugged him. “What is going on? Do you know how we got here?”
“No. I was hoping you did this. I mean you’ve done this before so I was hoping it was you.” Alex had really thought it was Liz, she had done this before but she has been able to be it a little more graceful. Meaning he didn’t pass out in the middle of the day.
“No I didn’t do this.”
“That’s because I did. God you guys are really hard to contact so I decided to try a little bit of what Liz does. Apparently I can do it too. I guess its part of my empathy thingy.” Liz turned around to see Maria talking. Alex and Liz ran over to Maria and hugged her.
“It has been way too long guys. Plus I have some information for you and I am sorry to say it’s not good. Nicholas has found us. I feel like he has a plan. I got a glimpse of his thoughts, which means he is very close. I saw Tess and Lonnie. I think they are going to be attacking you guys. They have found us. It is time to move. I hope I am not too late. Grab all your things and go…” Maria stopped talking and closed her eye and muttered something under her breath. “I have to go now. Michael is having a fit. Make contact when you are safe. I love you all.” Maria hugged Alex and Liz one more time. Then there was blackness.
****
“Liz.” Liz had opened her eyes and before she could blink Max had grabbed her and hugged her.
“We need to go. Now! Pack your bags, grab the money, and lets go. Maria said Nicholas had found them and she got a look into his head and saw that Tess and Lonnie might be after us and Alex. GO!” Liz had all ready gotten off the bed and was running and grabbing clothes. She knew they had to be out in five minutes. They had no choice.
“Are you sure? Are you sure it was Maria? I mean that seems very powerful for Maria?” Max wasn’t moving fast, he thought maybe it was a mind warp.
“I know it was Maria. I know it. We need to go Max. Just trust me.” Liz ran out the room to see how Ryan and Ava were doing.
“You okay Liz? We have our bags packed we have been waiting for this. We also packed some stuff for you and Max too. So just grab one more bag and lets go.” Ava pointed to bags on the floor. They had been smart, Liz had not even thought of being that prepared.
“Yeah I am fine. I have no idea where we are going. So why don’t you guys bring your bags down get the car ready and pull out a map and find a place.” Liz looked around and was sad. She was sick of running.
“Okay. Be down there in five minutes.” Ryan grabbed a bag and looked into Liz’s eyes. “It will be okay. I won’t let anything happen to anyone.”
When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end
Progress, changing
Growing then giving up
Somehow we're never quite prepared
But I understand it
Alex had explained everything to Isabel the minute he came to. They were all ready on their way out back to home. Alex had called Kyle and told him to start packing that they had to go. He didn’t have enough time to explain why. They ran into the house and went straight to their room to pack.
“We are all packed. Now Alex explain what happened? Why are we leaving?” Kait had been standing there waiting for them. Her heart was racing she had no idea what had caused them leaving.
“Short story, Maria contacted me and told me that Nicholas had a plan and it wasn’t safe where we are.” Alex had not even stopped to look at Kait.
“Kyle lets get the car.” Kait knew that Alex wouldn’t lie to them. If it was dangerous they had to leave.
“But where are we going?” Isabel looked around; she was really feeling at home. No one answered her.
When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend

Taking all your money to the grave
It does no good to anyone especially

But it's so hard not to save
“Did you warn them?” Maria looked up and saw Michael right in her face.
“You need to put some gum in your mouth. Your breath smells. And yes Mr. Impatient I told them. They are moving. Now we need to go.” Maria got up and looked around she didn’t see Rath or Zan. “Where are Rath and Zan? We need to go.”
“Oh well see here is the thing. I knocked them out.” Before Maria could even scream Tess was there.
“Hi Maria. Did you miss me? Oh I missed you.” Tess looked the same except that she looked bloated.
“Wow Tess you got fat. Ha I guess Karma’s a bitch huh?” Maria looked around trying to spot the boys. She knew they were too powerful to be knocked by her. She was guessing a mind warp.
“I am not fat you bitch, I am pregnant. It is Max’s baby.”
“Oh yeah. You know that in order to be pregnant you have to have sex with the person. Sorry psycho girl.” Maria was building up the strength to knock Tess out. Maria didn’t really care if Tess was really pregnant.
“I…” Before Tess could even finish her sentence Maria had built up enough strength to send her in a wall.
“MICHAEL!!!!” Maria screamed before she passed out.

Hello Everyone, sorry this took forever. But here is part 20. WOOT WOOT. It is short but i plan on updating soon (but i always say that right?) 
Enjoy, leave me some feedback.
Part 20
I'm sticking with you
'Cos I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do

You held up a stage coach in the rain
And I'm doing the same
Saw you're hanging from a tree
And I made believe it was me

Liz, Ryan, Max, and Ava were all in the car driving to an unknown place.
“Where are we going?” Ava was in the back seat with Ryan. She was getting leg cramps. They had all ready been driving for five hours.
“I don’t know. Let’s just stop at the next hotel and rest and then talk about where we should go.” Liz was tired, she was scared and worried. She wanted to know that Alex and Maria were okay.
“Okay.” Max grabbed Liz’s hand and gave it a squeeze. He was worried but he knew that it would be okay, that eventually they could lead a normal life.
I'm sticking with you
'Cos I'm made out of glue

“Isabel we have to stop soon. My bladder is about to explode. Why don’t we rest for the night? Look there is a hotel.” Kait was in the back seat with Kyle, they were all tired and needed some rest.
“Is it safe? Are we safe? Alex?” Isabel was worried. She was worried for them and for Max and for Michael. She wanted her family back. She was now wondering if being separated was for the best.
But with you by my side I can do anything
When we swing
We hang past right or wrong
I'll do anything for you
Anything you want me too
I'll do anything for you
Oohoh I'm sticking with you
Oohoh I'm sticking with you
Oohoh I'm sticking with you
Michael was carrying Maria, she hadn’t woken up yet.
“Michael we need to go. Tess is knocked out but I don’t know where the others are we need to get Maria out of here, we need to make her safe.” Zan had tried to heal Maria but he couldn’t. It was like she was locked inside her head and the only one that could help her was herself.
“What did Tess do to her? Maria. Maria please wake up.” Michael hardly showed his emotions but tonight he was a mess. He loved Maria with his entire being, he wanted to protect her and he couldn’t. He felt like he had failed.
“Come Michael lets move. We will contact the others once we are out of here and we will get her back but we need to go.” Rath looked down at Maria and felt panicked. What if they couldn’t fix this?
“JESUS.” Zan grabbed Maria from Michael’s arms and started to head towards the car.
“What are you doing? Give her back.” Michael was about to use his powers.
“Do you want to help her Michael? If you do then we need to go.” Zan put Maria in the back and got the car started.
“What about Tess?” Rath was ready to take care of that bitch.
“Leave her. We need to contact the others.” Zan started the car.
