OOC: mostly catching up I'm afraid, sorry...I'm trying to do better now though, working on getting caught up and staying that way
~Liz~
As Max sits up, and proceeds to complain about the colour of the jeep to Isabel once he has a phone, I can't help smiling at the realisation that obviously he's feeling a lot better than he was earlier. I feel the tightness in my chest lessen a little, and despite the fact that this is still a dangerous situation, I feel a hundred times better than I did a few moments before.
We might be fleeing for our lives, on the run from the FBI, but as long as I know that Max is okay, and that he's here, I can face this...
'His girl...' That simple thought makes me happier than I would have ever thought possible. There's nothing that sounds more right, despite the fact I would always have said that men aren't everything... In most cases I think that is still true, but I know that I would go anywhere, do anything, to be with Max... I love him more than anything in the world, and although I have given up my family in Roswell, I don't feel as though I've given up my home at all...because when I'm with him...I'm home...
All too soon, Maria and Michael are yelling again - well no, correction, Michael is shouting again, and Maria seems close to tears... Not that I blame her, I can't believe that Michael is actually saying the things he is... How he could basically accuse her of going to Kyle, after the fact that she's just left her home because she wants to be with him...? I shake my head mentally. No one could ever say that Michael makes sense...just that he is a pig-headed-idiot when he comes to saying the wrong thing...
Is he that much of a fool that he doesn't realise how lucky he is to have her...? That he doesn't realise that she loves him? Doesn't he know how much she's risked, and how given up for him...? If he should be angry at anyone, it should be me, I'm the one that told Kyle to come with us... I chew my lip, round and round, thinking about all this as I listen to the two of them.
Maria wants us to stop, to get out, but Michael tells her she made her choice... I can hear the stubborn edge to his tone and I wish he would just GET OVER IT! My best friend is getting more and more upset, and it's all because of him...
Suddenly the tone of the conversation - such as it is - takes on a complete u-turn though. I don't want to pry, to listen to a private conversation, but a car doesn't exactly allow much in the way of privacy. I hear the admittions of love, which is followed by the car slowing down. He continues to talk, and I realise he's once more giving her the choice of leaving and going back. He tells her to be careful, and something of what to expect, and I hold my beath, wondering how she will respond.
I want Maria to be happy and safe, whatever she does... I want her to be healthy and well, and to have a wonderful life whether it be with us or without. I love her like a sister, and I will never stop. I don't want to lose her, but in the end, it is her choice as to what to do. I don't know what I would do without her, but in the end, if that's her choice, I'm not going to try and stop her. I drew her into all this less than a year ago, and since then her life has been crazy... She didn't ask to be put in danger like this...
Before we come to a stop though, Maria's telling him that she doesn't want to leave, and I try to tune out the rest of the conversation, trying to give them privacy even in this enclosed space. It's not easy though, I have to admit, and as I hear Michael mention Kyle coming along, I look up at Max. I know he's probably not too happy about that either... Kyle only knows because he's with us, and he's with us because of me... "I'm sorry...I just couldn't leave him there for the FBI..." I tell him in a soft voice, addressing this to my boyfriend now, and not Michael... Michael's make it clear what he things, and I'm not going to waste my breath trying to explain to him at the moment... Max is another thing though...
