Roswell Fanatics

~Liz~

"You didn't leave because of that. If you did you would have left before then. And you know what? Im not letting the world end...not for everyone else anyway. My world ended when you left."

"Your right It's not the reason I left," I answer when he turns away from me. Which is a good thing because tear's are forming in my eye's and this time I can't blink them away. "And no I didn't sleep with kyle. But you slept with Tess, Max. You got her pregnant. My world collapsed after that. I tried to deal with it, I did, really. But I couldn't so I left. I left Roswell."

~~~~~MAX~~~~~

"What do you want me to say Liz? That I regret it? Yeah part of me does...but I cant entirely...not when I have my son...my rock for the last seven years. And what did you expect me to do Liz? You made me believe that you slept with Kyle! Did you want me to be alone forever? Well you got your wish anyway. She wanted to kill me. And now Im alone, and you have Mr Perfect in there. You told me you were dealing with it for a year...and then you just...left. Without even telling me why."

~Liz~


As Max talks I can't help but re-think of the words that Maria told me that damned night 7 year's ago, the night that Tess came back.

Maria: I am - I am so sick of seeing my best friend like this.

Liz: Like what?

Maria: Like, a victim! I mean, you don't have to be a victim... Forgive Max, or get him out of your life. It's one or the other. ...You have to make a decision. It's your decision. It's your life.

"It wasn't just Tess," I say, "It was everything, these stupid powers that I got. Alex's death. I mean I know that I wasn't directly repsonsible for it but it killed me inside that I, in a way, had been responsible for it. I mean, if I hadn't pretended to sleep with Kyle, Alex would still be alive today. None of this would of happened." I pause, "All that to say that my life was just one big mess and I had to get out of this place."

She pauses and I look around at her.

"All that to say that my life was just one big mess and I had to get out of this place."

She blames herself for Alex.

I walk towards her. "None of that was your fault Liz. Alex's death was Tess' fault, and her fault alone. Don't ever think it was yours" I tell her quietly.

"You know...there wasn't a day that went by when I didn't think about you every five minutes. I couldn't get you out of my head...what you were doing...if you were ok...I missed you so much Liz..."

Im staring into her eyes....and before I can stop myself my lips are on hers.

Serena

Opening up the door I manage to slip out without being caught but what I see stops me in my tracks. Max and liz are kissing and have no idea that I am here. Backing up into the crashdown I turn around head towards Nathan.

"Nathan can I talk you...alone?"

~~~~~NATHAN~~~~~
"Nathan can I talk you...alone?"

I turn around, seeing Serena. I sigh. I look round at two people in the booth. "Excuse me" I say moving away slightly. "Whats up now?" I ask.

~Liz~

"You know...there wasn't a day that went by when I didn't think about you every five minutes. I couldn't get you out of my head...what you were doing...if you were ok...I missed you so much Liz..."

And the next thing I know his lips are on mine. I'm a little taken aback at first, this wasn't something I was really expecting. And as he kisses me I can't help but think of Nathan.

Screw it, I've been waiting too long for this. So I kiss him back.

Serena

"Whats up now?"

"Nathan...when I went outside a minute ago. I saw something" I pause. If I tell him I would be hurting him. Not on purpose. But if I keep it from him it would hurt him in the end.

"I saw Max and Liz...kissing."

~~~~~MAX~~~~~
I expect her to move away...to shout and scream at me...
Hell I would.

But instead...she kisses back. For a long moment we kiss...until I pull away.

I can't believe I did that...she has a boyfriend. She's happy. Stop screwing up her life Maxwell I tell myself. You heard her. I screwed her up.

"Im sorry" I say quietly backing away.

~~~~~NATHAN~~~~~
"Nathan...when I went outside a minute ago. I saw something"

She pauses.

"I saw Max and Liz...kissing."

I look at her for a long moment.

"What are you talking about?" I ask quietly. "Is this some jealousy...thing..."I say knowing its not. She wouldn't do that to Liz.

"Tell me this is a joke" I say quietly. "This whole day...one big joke right?"
