Rating: Adult
Summary: Liz Parker is a Freshman at Las Cruces University. She was born and raised in Roswell, New Mexico by her parents who own the Crashdown Cafe and are very strict. Let's just say the Parker's have never let Liz make her own choices and Liz was the perfect daughter who obeyed everything they said. That is until Liz comes across the bad boy of Las Cruces University, Max Evans, whose known for his reputation around town. After that everything changes for Liz Parker...will she be the perfect daughter still or will she rebel to be with Max?
Author's Note: This is my first time writing. I've always wanted to but never had the guts to until now. Your feedback on how I can improve or even idea's on how you'd like the story to go would be very helpful. Feel free to critique and thank you for taking the time to read it!

Prologue:

Las Cruces University Campus

"Elizabeth, I just don't agree with you living here on campus. You should be home with your mother and me." Jeff Parker said taking his daughter's bags out of the trunk of his car. "I mean, these teenager's who live on campus are up to no good. The only reason any child moves away from home is to do something irresponsible like have premartial sex, drugs, party and whatever else they can think of."

Elizabeth sighed shaking her head. Her mother refused to come with them to settle Liz into her dorm which hurt her very much but knew that she was mad at Liz for not agreeing to live at home while attending college, and of course her father wouldn't let her hear the end of it the entire drive to the university. "Dad, I'm not like other teenagers. I'm your daughter and you know me better then that. I've always done what you and mom wanted, haven't I?" Jeff nodded, "Then trust me dad, you have nothing to worry about. All I'm here to do is focus on my studies, that's it. I have no ulterior motive in moving to the dorms." Liz took a deep breath and looked around, "It's just time that I learn how to be on my own, I'm 18yrs old now and I can't stay at home forever."

Jeff stopped Liz before walking through the double doors to the dorm rooms, "There is no reason you can't stay at home with me and your mother."

"I know you want me to stay your little girl forver but I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm an adult now it's time you and mom started treating me like one." Jeff looked at his daughter as she walked down the hallway looking for her room, "I really wish you and mom would trust me because I've never given you any reason not to." Liz said as she turned the knob to her room, "Here we are..."

Across the campus-

Max Evans was watching as all the new students scamper around trying to find where their rooms were, saying good bye to their families, and he couldn't help but laugh at the scene. He threw his cigarette down before stepping on it with the toe of his shoe to put it out, "Yo' Mike!" He yelled seeing his best friend all over this week's girl. "You think you can pull yourself off the bitch for awhile and so we can get the fuck outta here!"

The brunette turned and looked at Max, "I know you aren't calling me some bitch Evans?" Then turned to Michael, "Are you going to let him talk to me that way?"

Michael shrugged, "What do I care?" He said before leaning against his bike.

The girl huffed before turning her attention back on Max, "I'll ask you again, are you calling me a bitch?"

"So what if I am, what are you goin to do about it?" Max said glarring at her. He turned and looked at Michael, "You better get your girl to shut her yap before I shut it for her."

"Hey man, she ain't my girl. She was just last night's release." He said lighting up a cigratte.

"Fuck you Michael!" She yelled.

"Been there, done that, wasn't all that great to do again." He fired back at her.

"I don't know how two idiot's like you managed to become a senior's in college anyways." She argued.

Max laughed, "By having easy sluts like you do the work for us." The girl raised her hand to slap Max grabbed her arm and stood toe to toe to her, "Take a hike bitch, or you might regret it."

She yanked her arm from his grasp, "You guys are pigs, low life dumb ass pigs!"

Michael snorted like a pig, "Yea baby that's right and you fucked a pig last night!" He yelled across the quad loud enough to where people could here. She turned around and stomped her feet throwing her hands up in the air before running off embarrassed while people were pointing and laughing.

"Let's get the hell out of here. Another year before we are out of this hell hole of a dump and I get my damn money." Max stated as he climbed on his motorcycle. Just as he was about to start it something caught his eye.

"Max, man, let's go!" Michael yelled as he pulled out of the parking spot trying to get Max's attention. "MAX!!!"

Max was mesmerized. Across the quad he saw the sun shinning on a petite brunette. She was drop dead grogeous and he wanted her. He smirked as she walked up the stairs watching as her hips swayed. His mind was made up, she was his and nothing would stand in his way.

Chapter 1 & 2-

Chapter 1-

"Hi you must be Liz Parker." The cheery blonde said as she walked through the door. "Or is it Elizabeth? Or is it Beth?" The girl said as she rambled on, "I'm Maria Deluca your new roommate!"

Liz laughed. "Liz is fine, it's nice to meet you Maria." She said shaking the girls hand.

"Was that your dad I just saw storming down the hall?" Maria asked Liz.

Liz nodded, "Yea, he's not too happy that I'm living on campus instead of staying at home with them."

"But your 18." Maria said, "They should have expected that you'd eventually move out, right?"

Liz laughed, "You don't know my parents. Ever since I was little they had in mind that I'd stay at home and run the family business when I got older." Liz sighed, "I was homeschooled and it was hell convincing them to let me go to college. The only way they'd let me go is if I went to Las Cruces."

"You had to talk your parents into letting you go to college?" Maria said surprised. Liz nodded, "Ususally it's the parent's trying to talk their kids into going to college, not the other way around."

"True, but my parents aren't exactly normal." She said. "In fact, you ever heard of back in the old days parents picking out the girls husband?" Maria nodded, "Well, my parents have mine picked out. Had one picked out since I was 5."

Maria doubled over laughing, "That's crazy!" Maria looked at her, "Have you ever even been out on a date?" Liz shook her head. "Have you ever been out with your friends?" Again Liz shook her head no, "What have you been doing the past 18yrs then girl?"

Liz looked out the window, "Not having a life. Being stuck inside with my parents doing school work, working period, and anywhere I went one of them was with me."

"You poor thing." Maria said trying not to laugh.

Liz rolled her eyes laughing, "What about you? What are your parents like?"

Maria shrugged her shoulders, "Normal." She said before busting out laughing. Liz shoved her playfully, "No seriously, my dad left me and my mom when I was 3 and she raised me on her own. While she was at work I was here and there with neighbors when I was younger and when I got old enough I could do what I wanted as long as I was open with my mom and honest she didn't worry."

"Your lucky." Liz said jealously.

Maria shook her head, "It wasn't all that great. I mean yea my mom was friggin awesome but she had to work so much I was always hanging out with friends sometimes I wanted her to be a little bit more stricter."

"Is there never a middle ground any more?" Liz asked her.

"I guess not." Maria added, "But girl your not under your parent's roof any more."

Liz looked at her like she was crazy, "And..."

"And you can do what you want and have that life of yours you so badly wanted." She said to Liz.

Liz started to object, "I just came here to get my degree so I could get out of New Mexico. Not to party and hook up with guys." Just as Maria was about to speak Liz's cell phone rang. Liz rolled her eyes and held a finger up to her lips shushing Maria, "Hi mom."

"Hello Elizabeth. Have you gotten settled in?" Nancy Parker asked her daughter.

"Yes mother I have."

"Don't get snippy with me young lady or I'll have your father come back there and bring you home, do you understand me?"

Liz bite her tongue before answering. "Yes mother."

"Have you gotten your schedule yet?"

Liz tried not to laugh when she saw Maria making fun of her mom, using her hands as bickering back and forth, "No mom, I haven't."

"And why not? Are you already getting distracted?" Nancy snapped.

Liz got frustrated, "No mom I'm not distracted, I've only been here 2 hours now and you are already on my case. When are you and dad going to trust me to make my own decisions and to live MY life?!"

"Elizabeth Parker! Don't you dare speak to me like that!" Nancy said, just as she was about to continue her discipline Liz interrupted.

"No mother, you listen. I am not a little girl any more. I'm an adult and I have done nothing to give you or dad any reason not to trust me! I have to go now mother, I have plans with my roommate to go out and start living MY life!" Liz said firmly before hanging up on her mother even though she could still here her yelling. Liz looked at Maria whose jaw was dropped, "What?"

"I'm impressed girl!" Maria said high fiving her. "What do you say we go out and celebrate your new found independence?" Maria said.

Liz smiled, "I'm in!"

Chapter 2-

Rick's Pool Hall and Tavern

"Michael!" Max yelled, "It's your shot."

Michael nodded grabbing the beers off the counter the bartender had handed to him, "Man you suck. You aren't ever going to beat me at pool, I don't know why you try putting money in it, you know your just going to get your ass beat!" Michael said laughing.

Max shook his head taking a drag off his cigratte, "Shut up and play!" Max leaned forward on the table and just as he was about to take drink of his beer he felt to arms snake around his waste. Without looking he knew immediately who it was from the strong smell of perfume and weed.

"Hey baby. Why don't you come in the back with me? I just got a new order, the stuff you like plus more." The blonde whispered to him snaking a hand down to the waist of his denim jeans.

"Hello Tess." Max said rolling his eyes while Michael smirked. "What you got to offer us?"

"My dealer got some nice weed and that cocaine you like so much the last time." Tess said leaning up licking his neck, "Remember that night we got so wasted and did those body shots and were up all night partying." Tess said as her hand drifted to the bulge in his pants. Tess waived a couple baggies in his face, "Why don't we work something out and you can have what I got."

"How much?" Michael asked.

Tess looked over Max's shoulder, "This is an A and B conversation so why don't you find something else to distract yourself with?"

Michael laughed, "Your so friggin high you can't even make a smart comment."

"I am not high!" Tess denied.

Max looked at her, her eyes were glossed over, she looked like she hadn't slept in days, she reeked of weed and her breath of tequila and it looked as if she hadn't showered in a couple days either, "How much?" Max asked ignoring her attempts to get in bed with him.

Tess pouted, "You could have it for free if you join me out back."

Max shook his head, "I'll give you 150 for it all Tess." He knew he could rip her off with her being so wasted.

"Are you sure you don't want the extra stuff that comes with it?" Tess asked him suggestively.

Just as Max was about to answer the bell above the door rang and a bunch of college guys whistled and who could blame them. There she was the gorgeous brunette from this afternoon and she was with that blonde chick that Michael usually screwed around with. He saw them sit down at the bar and Michael say something that made the burnette laugh causing her to throw her head back exposing her neck. All Max could think was how he would love to mark her as his and once he did no guy on campus would touch her. Once a girl was declared Max Evans no guy dared to approach them. He was brought back to reality by the high shrill voice of Tess whining, "Here Tess," taking the money out of his wallet and handing it to her. "Nice doing business with you." He said grabbing the baggies and sticking them in his back pocket before making his way over to where Michael was with the girls.

"MAX!" Tess whined. Max kept walking upsetting Tess even more.

"Hello." Liz heard a deep voice say behind her. Without even turning around she had goosebumps everywhere. Her heart was beating a mile a minute. She slowly turned and took in the sight before her. There he was, the adonis, the god. He was wearing dark denim jeans, a black t-shirt that hugged his body and showed off his biceps. He had an earing in on ear and a smile that made her weak at the knees.

"He...Hello." Liz stammered out. "I'm Li...Liz."

Maria smirked at Michael before whispering to him, "Wait til you guys hear the story on this one." Michael looked at her and then back at Liz. "I'll tell you later."

"I'm Max Evans, its nice to meet you." Max took in everything about her. She was wearing a pair of black sandals and a mini skirt that showed off her legs. Legs that he would love to feel wrapped around him. His eyes moved up further admiring the top she was wearing. It was obvious she wasn't wearing a bra and it caused him to moan that didn't go unnoticed by any of them.

"Hello to you too Max!" Maria teased. "Isn't she gorgeous?" She asked gesturing towards Liz. Liz blushed which turned Max on even more, "See I told you that outfit would look good on you!" Maria smiled proudly.

Liz looked back up at Max nervously not sure what to say. She saw how dark his eyes had gotten and how he was taking in every inch of her body. "Uh...ye...yea I don't normally wear this kind of stuff...I mean...."

Maria stopped her, "Her parents are crazy."

Liz glarred at her, "Well what do you know?" Michael said, "So are Max's." He and Maria laughed. "Maxwell!!!"

Max shook his head, "What?!"

"You gonna say something or you just gonna stare at the goods?" Michael snapped back.

Max glarred at him, "You have to excuse my friend, he's not use to socializing with people, just the apes from the zoo."

Maria started laughing, "Score one for Max."

"Hardy hard hard Maxwell, lets go girl." Michael said yanking Maria from the bar stool to the back of the bar.

Liz watched them, "Where are the-" Liz looked back at Max who had resumed his starring at Liz. She turned and saw Maria and Michael up against the wall making out and watched as one of Michael's hands ran up the side of Maria's skirts. Maybe this was a bad idea, she wasn't the type of girl to go to bars and hook up with guys she just met but something about Max just made her want to throw all logic out the window.

Max saw where she was starring and smirked, he placed one hand on both sides of her leaning in close to where Liz could feel his breath on her lips, he was so close that she thought he'd kiss her. Kiss me? She thought yea right. Frumpy old me...she remembered seeing the blonde drapped all over him when they walked in and looked over to where the girl was standing both hands on her hips glarring Liz down. "You want to get out of here?" Max whispered to her.

Liz knew she shoul say no and go back to the dorms. Maria had told her about Michael and Max before they got here, that they'd probably be here. She had said that her and Michael were just friends, good friends, but it looked like it was more then that. Liz looked back at Max, he smelt so good all she could do is nod. "Ye...yea sure."

Max smiled, "Good let's go." He said grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the bar.

"Max!" Tess hollered following after them. Max and Liz stopped near his bike and Max still holding Liz's hand turned around, "Can I come?"

"No." He said coldly. He handed Liz a helmet he had and helped her on before getting on himself. Liz felt safe with him for some reason. She knew it was crazy, she just met the guy and from what she knew from Maria he wasn't the type of guy she'd normally go for, or better yet her parents would go for. Just think if they found out she was on the back of some bike of guy she just met who smoked, drank, did drugs, they'd freak. The thought of that, made her smile and excited her to the bone as they sped off.

Chapter 3-

They ended up back at Max and Michael's apartment. Max walked her up the stairs and showed her around the two bedroom apartment. It was as expected somewhat messy, beer cans on the counter ash trays laying around and clothes thrown about. But Liz didn't care. All she knew is she enjoyed not being the good little girl that her parents she was raised to be. Max offered her a beer and she gladly accepted, she had never drank before but didn't want to look like some idiot. "Thanks." She said nervously. "You got a nice place." She added fidgeting with the blanket on the couch.

Max smirked sitting down next to her, "You got nice legs." She blushed, "And a great smile." She smiled looking at him, "And you look so hot when you blush."

Liz wasn't smiling any more, in fact all she could think of is what it would be like to kiss this greek god in front of her. Max started to lean in but Liz stopped him, "I don't...I don't normally do this. I mean I'm not like Maria."

Max nodded, "Good. I'm not attracted to Maria."

"And I'm not like that girl Tess." Liz added firmly placing a hand on his chisled chest.

Max looked at her, "I never said you were Liz. I'm quite aware of that."

"What I mean is that I've never done drugs, or drink beer, or....or go home with guys I just meet let alone go out with any guys." She said quietly looking down at the beer in her hands.

Max smirked, "Are you a lesbian?"

Liz's head shot up, "No!" She collected herself, "Not that there's anything wrong with that but...."

"Liz breathe. I didn't bring you back here expecting to have sex." Max explained taking the beer from her hands, "And if you didn't want to drink you don't have to." He added, "I just thought it be quieter if we came here and we could just hang out."

Now it was Liz's turn to smirk, "Somehow, from what Maria has told me, you don't bring girls back to your place just to hang out Max Evans."

Max nodded, "True, but like you said you aren't just any girl..." He paused causing a confused look on Liz's face, "Your Liz Parker."

Liz laughed playfully shoving him, "Your crazy."

"Yes....but I'm going crazy wondering what it be like to kiss your soft lips." He said softly as he leaned in again to kiss her. Liz thought about resisting but something about him just made her want him to kiss her. His lips slowly met hers. Her heart about jumped out of her chest as the door flew open with Michael and Maria arguing.

Maria stopped mid sentence and saw the scene between Liz and Max, "Well,
Parker." Maria said laughing obviously drunk, "That didn't take you long to score your first kiss."

Liz's head shot up in embarrassment as she stared at Maria. Maria's hand flew over her mouth, "YOUR FIRST KISS?!" Max and Michael said at the same time. Michael started laughing as Max had a look of pure shock on his face. He knew she was innocent, that much was obvious just from when he first saw her, she had the whole innocent look and he expected she was a virgin too which excited him even more, but to know she hasn't even been kissed yet wasn't what he expected.

Liz looked from Maria and Michael then to Max, she could feel his eyes on her. She looked back at Maria who was slapping Michael on the arm and stammering out apologizies to Liz as quick as possible. Liz didn't want to hear it, she grabbed her purse and stormed out of the apartment. "Shit!" Maria said about to run after her but felt a hand stop her.

"I'll go." Max said calmly.

"Max, I don't thi-" Maria started to say.

Max shook his head, "Your drunk, I'll go."

"Let him go Maria, maybe he can knock out some first for her all at once." Michael said still doubled over laughing.

"Shut up you ass!" Maria and Max said at the same time before Max grabbed his keys and ran after Liz.

Maria turned and glarred at Michael. "No sex for a week!" She said before heading into the bathroom.

Michael stopped laughing very quickly, "WHAT?! What did I do?"

"You laughed! You insensitive jerk!" Maria yelled from behind the bathroom door.

"That was funny!" He quipped back.

"Yes but it isn't funny now that I said you aren't gettin any sex from me, now is it?" Maria said opening the door. Michael glarred at her, "And I know you can go and find someone else to bang but not as good as me." She smiled.

She had a point Michael thought, "Come on, it was funny though, and it's not my fault she's a full blown virgin in everything!"

Maria rolled her eyes, "I told you Michael...you need to learn to try and be somewhat like a human being and that I'm not always just going to be your fuck buddy. I do want a relationship one of these days."

Michael choked on his beer he had opened, "From me?" He asked pointing to himself shocked.

Maria glarred at him, "It be nice seeing how we've been screwing around with each other since high school."

"Maria, I told you I don't want to that...EVER!" He said emphasizing on the ever part.

She shook her head, "That's a shame Michael that you can't just promise me not to fool around with anyone else and I'd do the same...I'm not asking for marriage or to move in together, I just wanted it to be exclusive." She said sadly. She grabbed her purse and keys, "But maybe it's time I stop trying with you and move one."

Michael looked at her, "Maria..."

"No Michael, you don't EVER want to be exclusive with me, well I can't keep doing this with you." Maria kissed his cheek, "I'll see you Michael."

"Maria, wait..." Maria stopped and turned and looked at him. "I...I..."

Maria smiled sadly, "I know Michael, and it's okay." She said before walking out the door on Michael as he plopped down on the couch. He grabbed his cell from his pocket and dialed.

"Hey, get your ass here in 10minutes." He said. "Bring condoms and beer!" He added before throwing the cell against the wall.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Liz wait!" Max yelled as he jumped off his bike to try and catch her before she went into the dorms.

Liz startled turned around surprised to see Max had followed her, "Max? What are you doing here?"

Max smiled, "Well, I came after you of course, you didn't think you'd get away that easily did you?"

Liz shrugged, "I'm not your type Max." Was all she said.

"You don't know me, like you said you just met me, so how do you know what my type is?" He asked smiling.

Liz shook her head, "I know that you are the bad boy around here Max."

Max nodded, "Yea and what's wrong with that? Maybe I want me a good girl." Liz blushed. "Mmmm." He moaned, "That really turns me on..."

"See that's what I mean Max, I'm not...I'm not experienced or ready for that type of relationship." She said embarrassed.

"So?" He asked shrugging, "I'm not going to force you to smoke crack or get drunk or have sex..." He raised her chin so that her eyes met his, "I thought we could get to know each other a little better is all." He said leaning down close to her lips, "And maybe when you are ready I can be your first of many."

Liz got a shiver up her spine at the thought of him being her first of many things to come, she stood up on her tippie toes and leaned in as their lips met and this time without interruption. Max's hands went down to Liz's waist slowly to cup her ass. His tongue slipped into carress Liz's causing her to moan. The kiss slowly started to heat up as Max pushed Liz up against the brick wall bringing her legs up around his waist. This time she caused him to moan. Liz felt the bulge hit up against her core. From what she could tell he was huge, and hard for HER! It excited her even more as her hips started to grind against the bulge in his pants. It was like they had a mind of their own. Max's hand slowly slid up Liz's shirt to touch her covered breast. He slid his fingers into her bra and carassed her nipples causing her throw her head back and Max to gain access to that neck he's been dying to kiss. He slowly made his way down her neck and kissed and licked and sucked the exposed area as his hand made his way out of her shirt and up her skirt. He marked her as his and no one else could have her and if they dare tried anything they'd pay. The thought of her being all his caused him to growl and just as fingers were about to touch her most intimate area that she so badly wanted him too, she was aching for it, Max could tell from the way she had her nails sunk into his shoulders and he was going to make sure he gave her not only her first kiss, and first groping session he thought laughing to himself, he was going to give her her first orgasm right now. He looked at the way her head was thrown back in passion and was about to continue his work when a voice startled them out their sexual haze.

"Excuse me." The man's voice said behind them. Liz looked up suddenly as Max let her slide back down to her feet. "This is not a hotel room, this is a college dormatory."

"Sir, I can-" Liz started trying to regain her compuser but it was no use.

"Mr. Evans and Miss Parker..."

"How do you know my name?" Liz said surprised.

The man shook his head, "Come with me please." The two looked at each other and Max took Liz's hand and followed the professor to his office.

At least he won't call my parents. Liz thought to herself. "Miss Parker," The professor said turning around, "Your father Jeff Parker was a good friend of mine and he asked that I keep my eye out for you. I was on my way to check and see if there was anything you needed before classes started tomorrow, but imagine my surprise to find you outside with Mr. Evans." He explained. "I'm sure he won't be too happy to hear about this tonight."

Liz looked at Max mortified, "You can't do that, she's 18!" Max said, "You can't call her parents as a form of discipline."

The professor looked at him, "I can and I will especially when it is a request made by the students parents."

"She's an adult!" Max argued.

Liz stopped him, "Max stop..." She looked at the professor, "Call him." Was all she said.

Author's Note- THANK YOU SO MUCH TO Obsessed Roswellian, Roswell Fanatic and Keepsmiling7. Your feedback meant so much! I was so nervous posting this and have no idea what I'm doing. I've never wrote a fan fic before. Thank you again for your kind words and encourgament! I hope you guys approve of the rest of the story as I continue!!!!

Also, thank you especially to pijeechinadoll for your message and offering to do the banner!

Chapter 4-

"Thank you for calling us Professor Thompson, I really appreciate it." Jeff Parker said as he shook the professor's hand and sat down. "My wife wanted to be here but she had to attend to business at the resturant."

Professor Thompson nodded, "That's understandable." He poured a cup of coffee gesturing to Jeff asking if he wanted one. Jeff shook his head clearing his throat, "I'm sure this is the last thing you wanted to hear so late at night and especially even before classes started."

"That's an understantment. Who is this boy that my Lizzie was caught with?" Jeff asked looking out the window of the office to where Liz and Max were sitting, "Surely, my Lizzie doesn't go for a guy like that so he must have forced her. She specifically said she was only focusing on her studies."

The professor laughed, "Jeff you and I both know that any teenager who attends college away from home doesn't just solely focus on school work. Sure there are some that do work hard but whether they admit to their families or not, they do go out and party."

"Not my daughter, she was raised not to." He said shaking his head.

"I know how you and Nancy raised Liz. She was homeschooled from when she was born. I know that you set strict ground rules for her." The professor said leaning back in his chair, "But Liz is not saying that the Evan's boy forced her to do anything."

"He had to, my daughter would not be caught in any sexual activity with the likes of...him" Jeff said standing up angrily and pointing towards Max, "I want him suspended, kicked out of this university!"

"I can't do that Jeff. Max Evans isn't the best kid in the world, but he comes from a very wealthy family whose parents have made a ton of donations to this school and even though it may not look like it, he has a 4.0gpa." Thompson said looking over Max's records. "He may look like a little huligan but he's very bright student."

Jeff laughed sarcastically and leaned on the desk looking the professor in the eyes, "We have been friends since grade school, you agreed if there was any trouble with my daughter you'd notify me immediately and make sure she stayed focus."

"And I did that Jeff, but I can't expell a student over the fact that he was making out with his girlfriend. I'm sorry. I feel it is best you and Nancy talk to Liz and settle this like adults." Professor Thompson said before standing up, "Liz is a good girl, she knows what's right from wrong. She has always done what's right and even though she may be rebelling against the two of you right now, something tells me she won't let herself get into any trouble."

Jeff glarred at the man before crossing his arms, "Fine, if you won't do something about this then I will!" He said before storming out of the office. He stopped in front of Max before pointing a finger in his face and grabbing Liz's arm and pulling her up out of her seat. "Stay away from my daughter or you'll live to regret it!"

"Dad your hurting me! Let go of my arm!" Liz pleaded trying to pry her arm out of her father's grip. Max watched as Jeff pulled her down the hallway and started slowly following behind them.

Jeff stopped mid-stride and let go of Liz's arm before slapping her across the cheek causing Liz to fall on the ground and sob holding her cheek, "HOW DARE YOU SHAME YOUR MOTHE-"

Jeff felt his-self being pushed against the wall, "I don't think you know who you are dealing with." Max said with his arm underneath Jeff's chin, "If your daughter wants to see me, she can and if I want to see her, I will. But I can tell you something right now..."Max said looking over at Liz who was now standing up surprised and noticed the bruise forming on her cheek, he turned his attention back on Jeff, "You dare lay one hand on her ever again, you will be the one who lives to regret it!" He gritted out between his teeth seething.

He turned to Liz and led her out the door, "ELIZABETH PARKER! GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!" Jeff yelled after them.

Liz looked back at her father then at Max, "Thank you!" She said sadly smiling up at him. Max said nothing before leading her out to his bike all the while hearing Jeff ranting and raving behind them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Max drove him and Liz back to his apartment. When they walked in Liz was surprised to see what was there. Michael was taking body shots off some girl who was half dressed, while the girl Tess, who was hanging all over Max earlier was snorting the cocaine off another girl and a few other's were playing video games and getting high and drunk. "Maxie!!!!" Tess said obviously drunk and completely stoned. "I missssed you baby." She said tripping over her own two feet. She looked over at Liz, "Who is this?"

"Tess this is Liz." Max said introducing the two of them, "Liz this is Tess, you already know Michael. That's Shana, David, and Lisa." He said pointing to each person.

Liz looked at each one and then at Max, "Who are these people?"

Tess laughed, "So innocent." She said looking at Liz before touching her hair, "We are the crew you want know around this school!"

Max rolled his eyes leading Liz back to his room, "Mike throw me a joint and a beer!" Michael threw him a baggie and a beer before turning his attention back to the girl.

"Where's Maria?" Liz asked looking around but couldn't see her around.

Michael looked up, "What am I? Her fucking keeper bitch?"

Liz looked at Michael clearly upset and was about to say something but was interrupted by Max, "Shut the fuck up Mike and don't talk to her like that ever again!" He said to him before leading her by the small of the back in her room.

As the door was shutting you could hear Tess's voice. "Max? You never stood up for me like that...."

Max rolled his eyes, "Wanna drink?" He asked opening the beer. Liz hesitated, "Come on one beer ain't gonna kill ya!" Max said rolling up a joint and lighting it up.

Liz looked around Max's room and saw pictures of him and a tall blonde, "Whose this?" She asked looking at all the pictures, "Your girlfriend?"

Max laughed, "Gross, no she's my little sister, Isabel. She's stuck with the folks back in Roswell."

"Your from Roswell?" She asked surprised.

"I'm guessing you don't know who my parents are..." Max asked her. Liz shook her head, "Evans and Evans?"

"Your the Max Evans? Phillip and Diane's son?" Max nodded, "Wow, your parents are crazy rich!" She added and Max just rolled his eyes, "I take it your not happy being there son?"

"Are you kidding me? If they could they'd disown me as their son." He said sarcastically as he took his shirt off. "Two famous lawyers that own half of Roswell have a perfect daughter and one crazy son who doesn't care about anything they say."

Liz sat next to him on the bed before taking the beer from his hands and downing it, Max looked at her surprised, "Trust me I can sympathize."

"Yea, your dad seems really..."

"Strict? Physco? Crazy?" Liz said laughing, "That be an understatement." She threw herself back on the bed feeling buzzed already from enhaling the smoke that Max was lighting up and the beer. "If my parents could they'd keep me locked in that damn Restuarant at thier personal slave undger guard and key."

Max looked at her rubbing her cheek, "No one's ever gonna touch you again like that." Liz looked at him confused, "Your mine now and once your mine no one will ever bother you or touch you."

Liz sat up straight, "What?! You just decided I was yours like that?"

Max laughed leaning up against his headboard. "You don't want that?"

"I'm not someone's property Max that you can just own." Liz looked at him cause he was laughing at her, "It's not funny Max, I'm serious, I made mistake earlier letting it go that far and I'm not the type of girl who does drugs and gets drunk or, or has orgies!"

Max shook his head, "Look me in the eye and tell that you aren't the least intrigued to see what it's like being my girl?....That you the thought hasn't crossed your mind doing something you know your parent's wouldn't approve or that thought of doing something you know is wrong and being with me excites you to the bone." He whispered in her ear causing her a shiver to run up her spine.

"Max...."

"I could give you whatever you wanted Liz Parker. I could give you a whole new look although," Max said looking her over, "I really like the whole innocent look on you and I could give you a whole new outlook on life."

Liz was about to answer him when her cell went off, she looked making sure it wasn't her parents, "Maria? Where are you?" She could hear sobbing over the phone, "Maria, what's wrong, where are you?"

"I'm at the dorm, I was hoping you were here..." She stammered out crying.

"I'll be there in a little bit Maria." Liz said cutting her off and heading towards the door.

Max stopped her, "Think about it Liz. You don't know anybody here and someone like you could get taken advantage of." Liz smirked, "But if you were with me no one would take advantage of you and I'd have your best interest at heart. Your parents would never control your life again."

Liz couldn't deny that she was very intrigued but didn't want Max to know that, "My best interest at heart? You call trying to talk me into doing drugs or getting drunk or whatever is you guys do, my best interest?" Liz shook her head, "I have to go Max..."

As she tried to open the door, Max shut it back, "Think about it Liz. Talk to Maria, you'll see that I've never offered this to any girl ever."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the dorms Maria and Liz were sitting across from each other on the beds eating ben and jerrys ice cream, "He offered you what now?" Maria said shocked.

"Why is that surprising? Hasn't he offered that to every girl he wanted to bang?" Liz asked shrugging her shoulders.

"Liz! Are you crazy, he's never done that! He may play the tough guy but he's like the smartest kid on campus. He just let's Michael believe that he let's other people do his work for him but he doesn't." Maria stood up pacing, "And yea he does get drunk on occassion and smoke a joint here and there or snort up every once in awhile, but he isn't as bad as you think. I wish Michael would take after him!"

Liz looked at Maria, "What happened between you and Michael, earlier when I left you two were all over each other?"

Maria sat next to Liz, "I'm so sorry I said what I did earlier about you Liz."

"Don't worry about it 'Ria. It's no big deal people are bound to find out sooner or later." Liz shrugged.

"I told Michael that I wanted...I guess a commitment from him but not like us living together or getting married, just I wanted him to promise me that he wouldn't be with anyone else and I wouldn't be with anyone else..."

"You wanted him to agree to be exclusive." Maria nodded, "What's wrong with that?"

Maria sighed, "Michael was abused as a foster kid, he was in and out of the system and he just he has problems and one of them being he's scared to get attached." Maria looked down at her hands, "I just wished he trust me and know I won't hurt him." She looked at Liz, "He was already with another girl tonight wasn't he?"

Liz hesitated before answering, "It doesn't matter Maria, you could better then him."

She smiled at Liz, "Thanks girl, but I need that crew they help watch out for me around here."

"I don't understand why do we need looking out for? I thought this school was great and safe..."

"It is a great school, close to home but at the same time there's this group of Jocks that think they own it. You'll probably see them tomorrow. The leader of their group is Kyle Valenti. He can get away with anything more then Max can because his father is..."

"Sheriff of Roswell?" Liz said remembering the name. Maria nodded, "But that doesn't mean he can get a pass for everything. I know Sheriff Valenti, he's pretty strict."

Maria nodded, "True but that doesn't mean when Kyle get's in trouble that the Sheriff won't come in and save him."

"I remember Kyle. I mean I never talked to him but he was a real pig."

Maria laughed, "Well wait til you see him now that he's a jock and senior in college. The only person he won't cross is Max and that's because he's scared to death of him."

Liz watched as Maria got ready for bed before looking out the window. She thought about what Maria said and then thought back to what Max had said to her earlier. Her thoughts were interrupted by her cell vibrating on the nightstand. She saw it was her mother calling and sent the call to voicemail. She deal with them tomorrow. She had somethings to think about.
"You don't marry someone you can live with - you marry the person who you cannot live without."
