~*~* Kyle ~*~*
Liz just keeps suprising me and she just did again! Still confused I follow her to the Crashdown. Upon entering I know instantly that I've missed something major and almost instictively I turn to look at Tess. She seems very nervous for some reason. Oh boy..this can not be good...

Just do it Liz... You can do it... C'mon... 'mon!
"So..." I look around at everyone, "How is everyone doing tonight? Fine I hope." I say calmly, avoiding Max's eyes as much as I can.
I feel Kyle come in after me, and I know somethings wrong. I feel him tense up, I don't know how I know he did but I know he did okay? Okay then...
"Well. We're not getting any younger. Anyone care to share whats going on before I go upstairs to take a bath?" I smile.

~Tess~
I cringe inwardly at Liz's act of being calm. I don't want to be involved in telling ehr, unless max is going to make another group announcement. And he's making no move to do that. And honestly, Tess and Michael deserve more.
I look up to Max and give him a small smile,"Why don't you tell Liz and I'll tell Kyle." I get a small nod from him and walk over to Kyle. I want to tell him somewhere a little more private. "Come on," I say, gesturing towards the door, suggesting we take a walk.
I give Max a good luck smile. He might just need it. And then I feel almost guilty for putting both him and Liz in this situation.

~*~* Kyle ~*~*
When Tess gestures for me to walk with her, I’m instantly on the alert. I didn’t miss the look she shared with Max before she an I left. I’ve got a really bad feeling in my stomach and I don’t think I want to know what this is about anymore. Maybe I’m better off in the dark.
We walk quietly side by side for a while, the silence long and uncomfortable. Finally, gathering up my courage I ask, “What’s going on Tess?”

I hear Kyle ask me what is going on and I regret that the monet is indeed here. That I ahve to tell him. becuase now that I'm standing here with Kyle about to tell him that I'm prgnant my view on things is different. A litte skewed. I'm nervous. I'm nervous at what he'll do. What judgement he might pass. And I'm nervous that I might loose him. But like it amtters becuase Max and I are trying to amke things work. But elt me tell you that I'm pretty sure thate ven standing next to max it would matter. I care for Max, but I'm still not clear on if I love him or was jsut trying to cling to a past dream that jsut isn't how thigns are here. And I know it's killing Max to tell Liz now. And how did thigns get so confusing?
I take a deep breath and look over at Kyle, the man I'm pretty sure holds my heart, whether he knows it or not, whether I can be with him or not, whether he walks away or not. And I feel my stomach tie itself in knots. I sigh as I say, looking him in the eye, he deserves that much at elast. "Kyle, I'm pregnant," I say. And it's the first time I'd said it outloud to anyone that wasn't Max. And then I feel the tears come. Tears of fear, tears of potential loss. My tears are selfish, or some of thema re, but soem of them are for max, Liz, adn Kyle. Becuase thigns ahve gotten so ahrd for all of us, literally overnight. And I know, or maybe hope is more appropriate, sicne I hope Kyle feels for me, that in this moment all of our hearts are being broken.

When Liz mentions taking a bath, my mind suddenly wanders off in entirely the wrong direction. Liz Parker, naked, in a tub of soapy water. I don’t even respond to her question. But Tess does. She goes off with Kyle, leaving me here with Liz.
“Let’s go somewhere private,” I suggest. Liz stares at me in disbelief. I’m sure she’s wondering why we would need privacy when I’ve already told the others. She shrugs her shoulders and leads me to the back room. I would like to go up to her balcony, but Liz shows no sign of allowing that. The back room it is, then. At least her parents are upstairs where I hope they won’t overhear.
“Liz,” I start, not knowing how to tell her. She’s going to want to kill me, and she’ll have a right. I stare at her, noticing the streaks on her cheeks from her dried tears. “Are you okay? I was worried about you when you ran out of here, earlier.”

“Are you okay? I was worried about you when you ran out of here, earlier.” Max says.
Is it so wrong that I want nothing more than to wrap my arms around his neck? To hold him tight, so whisper in his ear that everything is a lie, that I love him. That I never really slept with Kyle…
Yea. It is wrong. He’s with Tess now.
So I put on a happy face (fake, but maybe it looks happy), “It’s okay Max, you sent someone out to clean up the mess.” I raise my hands into the air, “All clean.” I wink.
Truth is I need a little distraction, I’m not ready to hear Max tell me that he’s decided that I was right. That he should follow his destiny. Fuck destiny.
“Excuse me?” Max asks astonished.
Did I say that out loud? Whoops! Dang I really need to stop zoning out like this, people will start to think that I’m insane. I chew on my lower lip and think about the last time I actually ate something. Cuz I gotta rumble in jungle going on in my tummy. I lean my head back against the wall and sigh, my hand absently running over the skin of my stomach. I close my eyes and wish I was anywhere but here.
“Look.” I say to the ceiling, “I know you and…” I look at him, “…and her are together now.” I swallow the lump in my throat I didn’t know was there. “But don’t pull me in the back room to ask for my blessings.” Suddenly I’m angry, I’m in almost a rage, “Because if that’s what you want you can kiss my ass and go to hell Max.” The second I say that I wish –no, I PRAY, that I didn’t really say it. I even gasp at my own behavior, “Wow… I’m uh… I didn’t mean…” I clench my eyes shut and pretend I’m in Alex’s room.
Alex on his bed, me next to him. Him playing his guitar, me studying my homework. Him singing and writing down lyrics, me listening, and thinking of Max…
God! Why can’t I just let go? Let go of the past? Let go of…
THEM?
But I can’t. Because I still love both of them…

...sent someone out to clean up the mess, she says. How can she act this way? Can’t she see how much I still love her? How much this is killing me? I ache for the days when we could read each other’s hearts so easily. But she’s closed herself off, and turned away. No, shoved me away. Why do I still want her so badly, when she doesn’t want me?
Then she starts talking about destiny and Tess. She sounds so bitter and hateful. I’ve seen her like this a few times since Alex died, but it still tears at my heart. I want to make it better, but I know I can’t. I can’t even understand it. She’s the one who sent me away. No matter how many times I begged her to stay, to come back, she’s insisted that I go to Tess. And then she curses me when I do.
“Liz, no.” I plead with her. “I care about you. Always. I hate seeing you like this. I-- I wanted to go after you myself, but – ”
“But what?” she says, throwing the words out like a challenge.
I look down, unable to meet her eyes. “I didn’t think you would talk to me.”

ATLA ifyou want me to change anything let me know. I can tone down, up or whatever..
~*~* Kyle ~*~*
“Kyle, I’m pregnant.”
Those words resound in my head like an echo, only it brings with it pain, disbelief…and fury. I can only stare blankly at Tess when she starts to cry. Seeing her tears is about all I can take. Something inside me snaps. How dare she throw this at me now! How dare she expect me to feel…I don’t know what she expects of me, but am I to take these tears as a sign that she needs comforting? That she needs me? Of course she doesn’t need me! She’ll run off to the bastard who knocked her up, (let me make a wild guess: Max Evans, fucking alien king!), and he’ll comfort her…As always I’m just a detour to her real destination.
I find myself laughing out loud suddenly. It’s so absurd that she’s crying but I’m laughing. Tess looks up at me with her tear stained face, her face a mixture of hurt and confusion.
Running my fingers through my hair, I manage to throw her a dry smile. “Did you want my congratulations or something? Or is this where I’m supposed to be your support through your troubled times?” I bite out.
“Kyle…” she begins weakly, but I cut her off sharply.
“Am I supposed to choose sides now? Between you and Liz?” I ask. I jerk my thumb towards the Crash Down. “He’s in there right now isn’t he? He’s in there telling Liz about this! And you’re here telling me!”
I fix her with a penetrating glare. “Why Tess?” I ask. “Why are you telling me this? What do you expect me to do or say? Do you want me to comfort you? To tell you how I’m going to be there by your side?”
“Kyle please…don’t act like this.” Tess begged, her voice teary. “We didn’t mean for this to happen…”
“Rii-ight…” I drawl. “But you did mean to sleep with him?”
“Kyle…I’m so sorry…” Tess whispers with yet another onslaught of tears.
I sigh, my anger draining away rather quickly. No matter how hurt I am feeling, I know she upset too. That she’s scared.
“Tess…”I say before letting out a deep breath. “I-I’m sorry…that was harsh…and you don’t need that right now…” I wait until she looks at me before I continue. “But you hurt me. I though we were friends, I thought you trusted me…”
I stop in helplessness. I don’t know what I want to say. I don’t know why this is hurting me so badly. Actually I do…I think I’m falling in love with her. I can only look at her with hurt, pain and maybe a little jealousy but I don’t say anything else. I’m afraid that if I do, I might tell her how I feel…and no matter how much it hurts to think about it, the truth is, she no longer needs me anymore, rather, she can no longer be mine.

"I didn’t think you would talk to me"
I snort. "Oh please, spare me the excuses Maxwell. I've had enough bullshit for one day. How about a little truth huh?" I snap, "I care about you. Always. I hate seeing you like this. " I mock his earlier statement, "Lies, lies, LIES!" I almost loose my control, "If you really cared about me Max, you wouldn't hurt me so much! You wouldn't have made me do the things you did!" I hug myself, "You wouldn't have made me to use Kyle, you wouldn't have made me say things I've said, you wouldn't have broke my h-heart." My voice breaks.
I'm so emotional, now is not the time for a show down Liz Parker, calm down. Calm. Down. I breathe in and out.
"You may have saved my life, but you took it back the night of the gomez concert when you made me-- Look, it's destiny, I accept that. But it doesn't mean I have to like it." I whisper. Almost slipping my huge secret. Almost saying what I've wanted to say for too long.
I shake my head, tired, cold... alone.
"Please... Please just say what you have to say, and then leave me alone. It hurts too much to next to you." I confess, "It hurts so much..." I whisper low enough for only me to hear, or so I hope.
He's close enough to where I can feel the heat from his body, coming at me in warm waves. Wrapping me up in his sweet serenity, I can almost feel his arms around me, holding me close. I wish things could have been different, so different. I wish I could take his hands in mine, kiss his palms, have his hands heal my broken heart....
But I can't. I look in his eyes, tears glistening in my own, threatning to fall, "Please just tell me so I can wash this day away, and sleep until the next. I hate-" I stop. I don't know what I was going to say, all I know is I want nothing more than to share my bed with Max, not in a sexual way. But intimate none the less. I want his arms around me as I close my eyes and drift off into dreamland. I want to hurry up and go to bed...
So I can pretend he's there with me.
