Carrie

Chapter 11.
As I hold her close visions of the flash that ripped through me just moments ago refuse to let me go.
Like a horrible nightmare I try to think of anything else, anything but the scene that played before me.
I have to get away from her I can’t let her pick up on my emotions. I can’t let her feel anything that I am feeling.
It’s too much of a vulnerable moment. After we make love it always seems like our connection is the strongest.
Feeling her snuggling to get closer inside my arms is pure torture. I want to just hold her tight and never let her go.
The sweet and breathless loving exchanges continue on as usual after our embrace and everything becomes increasing more difficult to hide.
She is my best friend, my lover, my everything. Every instinct inside me is screaming out to tell her what I had seen, but I can’t.
I can’t say anything until I have time to sort this all out. Maybe it was all a mistake. Maybe the images I saw were jumbled because of whatever is going on between us.
Slowly I rub her back and kiss the top of her head as tears sting my eyes. No, this isn’t going to work I need to be alone. I have to think.
“Max is something wrong?”
I am so deep in thought that I haven’t even noticed that she has been looking up at me for god knows how long with great concern.
“Wrong? N-No. Tired is all. Whatever this is takes such a toll on me after. Do you feel that way too?”
Her soft sweet lips slowly curve upwards into the most beautiful smile as she winks at me and kisses the spot behind my ear that she knows drives me wild.
With a barely audible whisper she moves her mouth to my ear and seductively suggests continuing our love making upstairs on her balcony under the stars.
“There’s a bright full moon out tonight Max, I’d love to see you bathed in moonlight.”
I close my eyes wanting to take comfort in her words. Wanting to hide from all of this but the thought of her in pain and the vivid shocking pictures in my head refuse to let me go.
“As wonderful as that sounds I don’t want to push our luck with your parents. I can’t believe they didn’t hear us just now.”
Liz blushes as she muffles her laughter with her hands and looks down at the ground. Within a second her eyes are once again angled back up to mine with a look that is begging for me not to leave her.
I feel as though a fist is clutching my heart and squeezing the life out of me.
Every single expression, every single sound and animated gesture she makes just pulls me in deeper in love with her.
Denial is the only way I can cope with this right now. There has to be a reasonable explanation for what I had seen.
I nod my head as I successfully convince myself that this all has to do with this uncontrollable urge we have to be together, that it’s hormones or our deep connection to each other that has conjured up those ridiculous images.
As my thoughts continued to swirl through my head she has fixed her clothes and is turning off all the lights.
She tilts her head to the side and bites her bottom lip as he approaches me and slides her tiny hand in mine.
“Max please stay with me tonight. Sleep next to me. I need to feel your arms around me. I can’t stand being so close to you then getting in that cold bed alone.”
She really doesn’t know does she? I tell myself this as I secure my hand around hers and place it against my pounding heart.
“Do you realize that you hold my heart in your hands Liz?”
Her eyes widen and fill with tears of happiness as I squeeze her hand.
Suddenly her happy expression falls away as she palm’s her chest through the v-neck of her uniform. Her breath starts to pick up as her eyes close and she falls into the closest booth placing her head in defeat into her hands.
“Already Liz?”
Slowly she nods as she rakes her fingers through her hair.
“Is it burning?”
Liz lets out a big sigh as she leans back and lifts her lapels open enough for me to see the bright glowing marks again.
With her large glassy brown eyes she pleads with me to take her to her room and stay the night.
Carefully I put my arm under her knees and around her back and scoop her up. She lays her head against my chest as I carry her up the stairs listening carefully for any sign that her parents are still awake.
Very gently I lay her across her bed and pull her sneakers off and neatly place them in her closet.
Stroking her cheek I whisper to her that I will take care of her tonight. To just relax, that everything will be ok.
Deep inside I know this is a lie but the need to care for her helps in my persistent denial of what I have seen.
Removing her ponytail from her hair I watch holding my breath as just the simple task of her shaking her hair loose sends shivers through me.
Slowly I undress her and cover her with a quilt that is folded at the bottom of her bed.
“Max it burns.”
I can hear the exhaustion in her voice as she looks to me for relief. I disappear into the bathroom with a basin of cool water and a washcloth.
Making sure the rest of her is covered I lower the blanket past her chest to reveal the brightly colored streaks that cover her supple breasts.
Wringing out the excess water I place the towel over her searing skin and watch the relief wash over her beautiful face.
I watch with great intensity as she takes a very big deep breath and slowly lets it out as the droplets of cool water trickle down her ribs and past her stomach.
My eyes follow the soft lines of her curves all the way up to her bashful expression spreading across her hot cheeks.
“I must look ridiculous.”
“No Liz, you look breathtaking.”
“Lay with me Max, hold me.”
Kicking off my shoes and pulling my shirt from my body I switch off the light. Trying to calm my shaky body I slide under the blanket and immediately pull her in close to me.
As if we had been doing this our whole lives our body’s fit together perfectly. Arms and legs intertwine as we grasp onto each other getting as close as we possibly can.
“Better?”
I whisper against the tender soft skin along her graceful neck as I hear her mumble a quiet yes.
I'm relieved as she drifts off into a deep sleep.
As the night goes on peace is impossible to find as my attempt at denying what I had seen becomes increasing impossible to ignore.
Tears stain my face as I hold her as tight as I can, but the men in the black suits are burned into my brain.
I know without question I have seen the future. Something I have never been able to do before repeatedly flashes before my eyes.
Without all the answers it is still hard to understand but one thing is very clear.
They want her because of me.
The image of the tall men in the black suits hovering over Liz as she lays strapped to a small metal table plays over and over in my head.
She is in this position because of me.
In the FBI’s attempt at finding me they will stumble into something they never expected to find. This discovery will peak their twisted curiosity, a human altered with alien powers and abilities.
How all this unfolds and what powers or capabilities she acquires is still a mystery to me but one terrifying fact remains true no matter how hard I wish it away.
They will find her and capture her.
If I have any chance at saving her I have to leave.
I have to get as far as possible away from her.
I have to save her.
