*PART ONE*

“Liz, oh my god what happened to you?” my mother screeches as she comes out of the kitchen with a look of mock surprise on her face.

You see I’m standing in the doorway covered in mud, dirt, clay and any other stuff you generally find on the ground. I’m cold and above all else I smell really, really bad.

“Oh bunny what on earth happened to you?” she repeats again starting to walk towards me when she gets a whiff off me. “Liz, seriously you stink?”

“Gee thanks mom I love you too and for your information the mud decided I looked mighty tasty and wanted a piece of my ass.” I say with an eye roll. You would think my mom would care. Right?

“Liz watch your language.” She voices looking horrified.

“Hey mom.” my brother Kyle says breezing past me into the room. “You should have seen it .It was priceless. One minute she was standing there the next thing we know she was face down in the mud.” He exclaims and to add to my discomfort he can barely keep from laughing.

And to my dismay he’s not the only one; all my friends have now reached the doorway and are laughing at me too.

Note to self: get new friends.

So anyway I just want to go to my room have a shower change my clothes and burn my old ones. I go to take a step when I’m stopped by a very threatening cry from my mother.

“Elizabeth Parker where do you think you are going?” She has now gone from a look that could be described as amusing to one of utter anger.

With the hands on the hips and the tapping of the foot and all.

Ok can anyone else say drama queen?

I think that’s who I get it from. “What? I’m going to my room for a shower where do you think I’m going.” I yell. Like hello I stink.

Do I have two heads or something because the look I’m getting.

“Do you really think I am letting you walk though this house on my lovely new carpet like that?” it was more a statement than a question.

Well to be honest I hadn’t really thought of it. I had only thought as far as dry and warm.

“Now turn around and go out the way you came in you can go to the back of the house and have a shower in the boy’s bathroom in the laundry.” she utters leaving no room for argument.

“But mum.” I wine I really don’t want to go there, the boy’s bathroom sucks it’s where Mum banished Kyle and Dad years ago. She can’t really expect me to shower there does she?

Well by the look I’m getting I think she dose.

And with that I’m dismissed and she has now turned into the perfect host ushering everyone in and me out.

So here I am now on the deck with a closed door in my face “Well this sucks.” I mumble to myself dragging my ass around to the back door. I just want this day to be over.

What a great start to the rest of my life

You see this was not how today was supposed to go; it is the first day of the rest of my life. School is out. We can now do what we like when we like. I was going to sleep till ten get up and do absolutely nothing all day. It would have been perfect.

But no instead I get dragged out of bed at the crack of dawn to do what? I hear you. Ask.

Fishing, yes you heard correct fishing.

Like hello, what in gods name made everyone think fishing would be a great idea?

This has by far been the worst day of my life, bar none.

This is worse than the time I vomited all over myself after getting too drunk at a party.

Shall I tell you why, first off the boat was trying to kill me. I slipped trying to get into the blasted thing and now I have a really sore knee, second thanks to Michael I got a fishing hook stuck in my hair. Third I was the only one who didn’t catch one single fish. Forth I had to sit there watching all my friend make lovely dovey faces at each other and what you could call the icing on the cake was the fact when it came to get off the horrid excuse of a boat I tripped on a stray piece of rope and fell flat on my face into a big pile of mud

Welcome to shit creek, sorry but were all out of paddles.

And to make matters worse as you heard I can’t even have a shower in my own bathroom I have been banished to the shower in the laundry “what have I done to deserve this ?” I ask out loud to no one.

Hopping in the shower I must say the warm water does work magic on my bad mood I can partly feel the bad day washing off me and going down the drain with all the mud and crap that was caked onto my skin and hair.

Slipping out of the shower and putting a clean towel around me I can hear all my friends tell my mum and dad about the day, all at my expense of course “Ï really need new friends.” I complain.

“What was that?” I hear my best friend, Maria, asking as she pokes her head around the door.

“Ï said I need new friends.” I repeat “you guys don’t need to go on and on about my sudden fight with gravity like it was the most funniest thing in the world.”

“You are kidding right, can you honestly tell me that if it had been anyone else that had fallen over and got stuck in the mud that you wouldn’t have laughed.” she asks crossing her arms with a knowing look

Well she does have a good point. I would have died laughing if it had been anyone else but that’s not the point, it wasn’t anyone else, it was me.

“Well anyway.” she carries on “we are all leaving now and are going to meet you and Kyle at the Crashdown in about a hour. And can you please.” she begs. “Bring the Liz that doesn’t have her head up her ass ok.” She adds turning to leave before I can get a word in edge ways.

Well that was just rude.

I wait in the bathroom till I hear that everyone has gone before going to my room to get dressed for another night of sitting at the Crashdown doing nothing at all.

Not that I mind that. Really it’s just all we ever seem to do. Ever since I can remember that’s what we have done apart from the causal party or football game our weekends are spent sitting in the café my parents own doing well nothing.

And I’m sick of it. I promise to myself right then and there that the only thing that will make me feel any better tonight is doing something, anything as long as it doesn’t involve the Crashdown café.




Please let me know what you think should I continue.

Part 2


Bang, bang, bang…

You may be wondering what that is. Well it’s my head banging against the table I have been sitting at for the past two hours now.

Bang, bang, bang…

See, there I go again.

“Liz, would you please stop that? You are making my drink spill all over the place.” I hear Tess ask me as nice as she possibly can. She knows I’m in a badass mood.

And I’m, and well you would be to if you where me.

You know when I promised myself I wasn’t going to sit around the Crashdown all night? Well I suck because that is exactly what I’m doing.

This is shit. I know what you’re saying, how ridiculous, but I don’t think you understand. Not only have I had a day from hell, but I also have to sit here and watch the man of my dreams making lovey dovey faces at his perfect little girlfriend.

God, I would give anything to be her right now. Hell, I would give anything to be the booth they’re sitting on right now.

Yes, people... I, Liz Parker, am officially in love with one of my best friends a.k.a. Max Evans, and I’m not the only one that’s not happy about Max and Sarah’s recent coupling. By the looks that Kyle is shooting them, I think it’s fair to say he’s just as miserable as I am.

Why are us Parkers so brainless with love? I know we’re not ugly people. I mean I have had quite a few girls tell me my brother is a hotty, and I don’t think I’m too bad to look at either. Sure I’m no Isabel, Tess or Maria, but I think I’m doing all right for myself.

A bit plain but still good, right?


“Hey, I know what we could do. We could go bowling or even miniature golf? Or even better yet, bowling with golf balls.” I yell to distract myself.

Ok, why are they staring at me like I should be admitted into the crazy ward of the nearest hospital?

“Liz, did you have a big glass of moron for breakfast this morning?” laughs Maria’s boyfriend Michael while snorting his drink out his nose.

Gross, I don’t know what Maria sees in him. Well I do really, but he doesn’t need to know that.

Insert eye roll here “Whatever.” I say while holding up my hands to make the w sign

“Come on guys can we go out or something?” I plead “Please.” Ok I know I’m begging, but I just don’t want to sit here and watch the show that Max and his girlfriend are putting on right now.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not porn or anything… it just makes me sick. Holding hands, sitting on each other’s lap, and rubbing noses. I think I need a barf bag.

“Liz, babe we have been out for most of the day. I can’t really see anything happening to night apart from sleeping.” Isabel says before picking up a French fry.

She’s right too. I can’t really be bothered either; well that’s what I tell myself. I just don’t want to feel as bad about lying to myself. “Well I think I’m going to go home now then.” I say standing up to leave.

I look over toward Kyle and I just know he’s thinking the same thing as me. He just wants to leave as well. We are so stupid, the two of us.

“Ï think I’ll go too.” he says. “I need my beauty sleep, you know.”

“I think you need more than that .” Alex laughs along with everyone else.

“Shut up, Alex.” he replies as he stands up and makes his way to the door. I follow him. And with one last look at Sarah and Max, we’re gone.

Wow, I think this thing between Max and Sarah is affecting Kyle more than I thought. He is never without a witty comeback. Ever.

Like saying shut up hardly does him justice.

I feel so bad for him right now. Mainly because I know exactly how he’s feeling, and how do I know that? I can hear you ask? Well because I feel the same way.

“Come on Kyle; let’s go home. I’ll tuck you in, and read you a bed time story. Ok?” I say throwing my arm around his shoulder walking him to the car.

“Ök.” he responds slumping his shoulders down further.

This is bad, very bad


After putting Kyle in bed, and yes I did read him a bedtime story.

It was Snow White this time. Don’t laugh this is just something me and Kyle do.

If one of us is depressed, the other one puts them to bed and reads them a story. It’s no big deal. Of course no one else knows this.

Anyway I got to thinking.

All this tension started a month ago. That dreadful day that Max and Sarah walked into the Crash holding hands.

Everyone was at the Crashdown. Maria, Kyle and I were working, and I was standing at the pick-up window complaining to Kyle about some snot-nosed kid that had just kicked me in the shins. When all of a sudden everything went quiet.

And I mean extremely quiet.

I hear what you’re saying, ‘how could it go quiet in a busy café?’ Well it was dead at the time. Only our friends, the snot -nose kid and his parents were there.

So anyway, it went deadly quiet and I looked up at Kyle, and noticed that he had turned the color of a ghost. Slowly, like in slow motion slow, I turn around to see what had gotten everyone’s attention and there it was. The man of my dreams was holding hands with the girl of Kyle’s dreams.

I watched them while Max led her to where our friends were sitting. He politely pulled out a chair for her, because that’s just the way Max is and I noticed that not once during this entire act did their hands come undone. It was like they were glued together or something.

All the while my heart was sinking lower, and lower into the pit of me stomach.

The next minute I know Maria has both Kyle and I out the back, babbling on. Telling us not to worry she will get to the bottom of it all, and for that I really do love that girl.

Kyle, Maria and I are the three amigos. We all grew up together thanks to our mum’s going to school together.

She’s great, Maria, I mean. She’s the only one out of everyone that knows of Kyle’s and my feelings.

The three of us bonded over Ben and Jerry’s one night a long time ago and I let it slip that I liked Max and Kyle followed suit with the admittance of his crush on Sarah, and the rest is history. Maria has been the keeper of our secret for almost a year now.

I think the others may suspect things but I don’t think they really know anything for sure. And what they don’t know, I ain’t supplying.


I think the real problem here is that I can’t even hate Sarah. She’s just too nice and so pretty. I can’t really be a bitch to her. It’s not her fault she beautiful and Max likes her.

Hell, if I was a guy I would like her as well and Kyle’s the same way. He knows it’s no one’s fault, but his own. If we had just admitted our feelings we might be in a totally different place right now.

Not that it really maters now. It has been a month now, and everyone has adjusted to seeing Max and the perfect Sarah together. So, I guess we will have to get used to it too.



thanks for reading FB please

[kiwigirl]

Hi everyone thanks for your fb .

I just wanted to say I am getting marred in 9 days so I don’t really know if I’m going to have a lot of time to write the next part I will try but I cant grantee anything
.
Thanks.


Part 3


Max Pov

I just knew this was a bad idea, I say to myself as I watch Liz and Kyle leaving the Crashdown. I also see Sarah watching them as well.

“You know what? I think we might leave as well, I’m kind of tired after the day we’ve had.” I’m hoping everyone buys my story not only for me, but also for Sarah. “Is that okay, babe?” I add looking at her. I can see tears in her eyes and I just know we have to leave before she breaks down completely.

“Yeah that sounds really good.” she says getting up to leave. I only hope no one else heard the catch in her voice.

“Okay, I’ll see everyone tomorrow sometime.” I mumble before grabbing Sarah’s hand and leaving.

She barely makes it out the door before the tears start.

“It’s not working Max!” she cries while I pull her into the alley before anyone could see us.

“Shh I know.” I say as I bring her into my arms.

“Why doesn’t he like me, Max? Am I so, repulsive that….?”

I don’t even let her finish that sentence. “Sarah what are you talking about any fool in their right mind would be mad to turn you down.” I say bringing her back into my arms. “Kyle’s a fool. We just have to make him realize it, that all.”

God, I really wish she wasn’t crying. I don’t do crying very well.

“This was a bad idea, Max. We should have never started this. What was I thinking? Pretending to go out with you to try to make him jealous.” she says going off into a tangent.

“Ï knew it, I fuck’en knew it.” I hear Maria yell from the backdoor of the Crashdown. “I don’t know what you two think you’re playing at, but one of you is going to tell me now.” she demands.

“Not here, Maria.” I snap. I’m so not ready for this. Not only do I have a crying girl in my arms, but I now have one looking at me like she going to beat the crap out of me.

“Fine, you can take Sarah home then I will meet you at your house. So you can explain yourself” she tells me. I know not to argue with her. So, I do exactly as she says.

The two of us leave and I drop Sarah off at her house and I head home to wait for Hurricane DeLuca to make its way to my house.





I barely walk through the door before I turn around and am faced with a very angry Maria.

“Out with it.” she orders and like I said before I know when not to mess with Maria.

“What are you talking about?” I say trying to act like I don’t have a care in the world. Just playing it cool.

“Don’t play dumb with me, bucko. Just what the hell do you think you two are playing at? I thought
you were better than that Max? I heard what was said in that alley and I know what you’re doing. What I don’t understand is why?” She finishes sounding very disappointed and very angry at the same time.

“I don’t know, Maria? It seemed like a good idea at the time.” I say exhausted slumping onto the couch.

“Ä good idea? What the hell has gotten into you?” she asks putting her hands on her hips “Whose idea was it?” She asked not moving from where she was standing.

“Sarah’s.” I say. I send a little prayer to Sarah hoping she forgives me for setting Maria on her.

“Tell me everything from the start.” She demands finely moving into the room and taking a seat next to me.

Ì sigh and start to tell her my story, “About a month ago, Sarah came up to me and asked for my help. She said that she had noticed how I looked at Liz.”

I have loved Liz Parker ever since the day when I was 9 and first stepped off the school bus. It was my first day at a new school and I climbed off the bus with my twin sister Isabel. I was so scared. I remember holding Isabel’s hand like it was a lifeline and then I looked up and there she was playing innocently with a bunch of kids; who I later found out to be Kyle, Alex, Maria and Michael.

I made friends with Kyle and Michael almost instantly, so by default I became friends with Liz, Maria and Alex too. I remember Maria asking if it was something in the water that made some mummy’s have two babies and not just one. We all still laugh about that. Anyway, I’m getting off the subject. Let’s continue with the story.

“She told me her plan and said that we could pretend to be a couple and that maybe by doing that Liz and Kyle would get jealous and maybe….oh fuck, I don’t know …Maria, I have messed up not only do I now have a fake girlfriend, but I now know for sure that Liz has no interest in me what so ever.” I finish saying putting my head in my hands. I can’t believe I have been so stupid.

“Yes, you have messed everything up …big time. I don’t know what you two thought was going to happen? I mean really, are you that stupid?” she asks me looking appalled.

“Thanks Maria, I love you too.” I say with a defeated sigh.

“Max, don’t be like that. You know, I love you, but really what did you think I was going to say? I mean if I reacted this way, how do you think Liz and Kyle are going to feel?” She asks in a soothing tone.

To be honest I hadn’t really thought about it.

“It doesn’t really matter now. Liz has no interest in me, anyway.” I voice defeated.

“Max, are your parents siblings or something?” she yells at me again as she whacks me upside the head. “Now I am about to tell you something, and I swear, if you tell anyone that I told you this I will kill you.” She stops, takes a look around and then takes a deep breath before continuing. “Max, Liz is so in love with you that it’s not even funny. This month has torn Kyle and her apart watching the two of you kiss and cuddle all the time. I mean, I get sick, and I don’t even want to jump your bones.” She says.

“What?” I shout jumping out off the couch. “Maria I think you are seriously delusional.”

“No, I’m not. I know everything, Max, and I’m surprised you would even doubt me on this? I am Liz’s best friend, do you think I would not know about important things like this?” she yells back at me looking hurt. She is right too . Maria is one of those people that just know everything.

“Wow.” I blow out now sinking back down to my seat.

“Yes Max, wow, so now what are you going to do about it?” She asks me

“I guess, I have to break up with Sarah.” I look over to find Maria nodding her head in approval. “Then talk to Liz, I guess.” I don’t know what to do at this point, but there are a few things I need to ask before I ever get that far.

“Maria, how long has Liz liked me? Not only that but how did you know I liked Liz? Have I always been that obvious with my feelings and why did no one say anything to me?”

“I think it was when she was 14, and fell off her bike. You helped her out and put a band aid on her bobo.” She says and I can’t help, but smile at the memory.

It was the summer that we all turned 14 Maria, Michael, Kyle, Isabel, Tess and Liz and I went to the river on our bikes. It was such a great day. The only reason we went was because we wanted to show the new girl, Tess, that Roswell could be fun.

I didn’t really talk to Liz that day, I was way too nervous. I was just starting to go though puberty and my guess was so was Liz. Her togs had little bumps in them and every time I looked at her, my eyes went to her chest.

It was embarrassing, so sue me.

On our way home, I finely got up the courage to talk to her. Of course the fact she was dressed now did wonders for my adolescent mind. Everyone else was way up ahead of us, having raced home. Everything was all going really well, at least as well as it could go under the circumstances. Then all of a sudden Liz rode over a stray stone and went ass over kite.

She looked so sad. Lying there on the ground trying not to cry, but I saw the tears she was trying to hold back.

“Liz, are you ok?” I asked hurrying off my bike and running to where she had fallen.

“Come on you can sit on my bike and I’ll push you home.” I said.

“What about my bike?” she asked now crying fully.

“Don’t worry about it, I’ll come back later and pick it up for you.” I said helping her to sit on the bar of my bike.

“Thank you, Max. I don’t know if I would have gotten home if you weren’t here.” she cries. When I looked at here knee, I can see what she meant. There was blood everywhere.

“And as for being obvious well, Max, let’s just say the only person that doesn’t know your feelings for Liz is Liz.” Maria says breaking me out of my thoughts.

“What do you mean? I thought I did a good job of hiding it all these years?” I yell defensively.

“Yeah, okay Max, you keep on telling yourself that.” She snorts patting me on the head before getting up to leave and I am pleased she is now leaving. I really have to think of a good way to fix the mess I have created.

“Okay Max, I will see you tomorrow. We can talk more then, okay?” she pins me with a look that lets me know that I don’t have a choice in the matter.

“Okay, see you tomorrow.” I call after her. As I close the door behind her. I run up the stairs to my room. Isabel will be home soon, and I don’t really want to see anyone at the moment. I just want to think about everything I had learned in such a short time.

Wow, Liz Parker, the woman of my dreams, the girl I have lusted after for so many years likes me. I am so happy I could do the happy dance right here in the hallway.

[kiwigirl]

Well at long last I hear you all saying sorry for the delay I have had some major problems with inspiration and such.

Just want to say a big thanks to everyone reading this story and for leaving fb. Hope you all like the next part sorry it’s not very long.


++Part 4

~Max pov~

I am still in shock that the beautiful Liz Parker really likes me. I’ve always wondered but was never really sure. Having Maria confirm it last night was like a dream come true. I'm on my way to Maria’s house now. I don't really want to but if I don't go there she will just come looking for me so I might as well get it over with.

As I pull up Maria's drive way I can see that Sarah's car is here I guess she had the same idea as me. Its then I realize Alex's car and Michael's bike are out front as well.

Well I guess there goes that idea of getting this chat over with.

I walk in side the house without knocking. I don't see the point when everyone is already here.

“Hey guys? What’s up?” I say walking into the living room. Completely unaware as to what was about to happen.

“What's up? What the hell do you mean what’s up?” I hear my sister snap in disbelief.

“How could the two of you be so stupid?” I then hear Tess butt in and ask me.

Well I guess I know why everyone is here then.

“Sorry Max. I called an emergency meeting about this whole situation.” Maria speaks up looking guilty.

“What does this have to do with the rest of you,” I ask. Maybe that was a bad question. I feel like a mouse being backed into a corner right now. I have three very angry women looking for blood. And it’s a bad thing when it’s going to be mine. I’m very attached to my blood. Thank you very much.

But hey, I just walked in the door and got attacked. I have every right to be a bit pissed.

“What does it have to do with us? Well for starters Max, Liz is one of my closest friends and you are my stupid, stupid brother, do you have any idea how this is going to make Liz, and not to mention Kyle, feel? They will never talk to you again and me because of your stupidity I have to side with you out of family obligation.” Isabel yells at me. “I know that may seem selfish Max but we all know that’s what going to happen.”

“But, but, but”. I start to stammer. What she is saying can’t be true. Liz could never be that angry with anyone. I mean I know she will be a bit angry but she’ll get over it. Right?

Damn I need to think and I can’t think with everyone’s eyes on me.

“She's right, Max. What you two did was horrible and to Liz it just might be unforgivable.” Maria adds.

“Come on it's not that bad. It’s not like I ran off and killed someone.” I try to reason.

“I'm sorry Max.” I hear Sarah cry from the corner where she is sitting. She's been so quiet since I got here I forgot she was even here. “I wish I could take it back. Now, because of me, it's all gone wrong. I'm so sorry.” She is now full on crying and I can tell she is about to totally fall apart.

“Well you can say that again.” I hear Tess. “We all thought you where nice but no, you’re just a conniving bitch.” I guess Tees was never Sarah’s biggest fan. How was I to know that this was going to all go horribly wrong? It seemed like a good plan when it was hatched.

“That is enough, this it not all Sarah's fault. How dare you stand there and judge. Have you forgotten the time you and Stuart got into a fight and you ran to Kyle and kissed him to make him jealous?” I yell watching her stiffen. I hate to bring that up but people that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

“That was very different”. Tess adds now getting angry.

“Yeah it was, wasn't it. What Sarah and I have done wasn't done to hurt anyone but what you did was just cold and hurtful. I have had enough of this Maria I came here to talk to you and you alone and I am still willing to listen to you yell and rant all you want but don't any of you dare sit there and say how conniving and Manipulative we were being.

Sure, I'm not proud of what I have done but none of you are perfect either. Come on Sarah we are leaving.” I say holding out my hand as she takes it.

“I'm so sorry about this Max. I never wanted you to start fighting with all your friends.” she says in the car back to my house all the while still crying.

“It’s okay they all just have to remember they’re not all the perfect either.” I remind her.

“I'm still sorry.” She turns to me and wipes the tears from her eyes. How are we going to fix this Max?”

“I don't know, but we will. I don't want you to worry about this okay. I will figure all this out.”

Sarah and I have never been very close but at this very moment I know we will always be close friends. With what I am about to do I can only hope Liz will forgive me.

~ Maria's pov ~

Well this is all really fucked up. I only called this little impromptu meeting to try and find a way out of this mess and now that has all blown up in my face.

Now everyone is angry at some one for something. Isabel is angry at Max and Sarah, first Sarah for suggesting this plan then Max for going along with it. Tess is angry at Max for yelling at her and bringing up past mistakes that she would rather forget. Tess’s boyfriend, Stuart, is angry at Tess for being a hypocrite. Michael is angry at me because I got everyone together to talk about this and Alex; well… he’s just Alex and thinks this is all very amusing.

“I told you this would happen but no, you never listen to me.” I hear Michael gloat from his position on the couch where he is watching a hockey game.

“This is not helping me Michael. If you don't have something constructive to say; then do me a favor and shut up.” I snap back.

“Why would I want to say something constructive when you don't listen to anything I have to say anyway?” He adds.

“You’re right.” I whisper hanging my head in shame.

“What was that? Sorry? I didn't quite hear you.” Michael says.

“I said you were right and I was wrong! Are you happy now?” I snap. I really can’t deal with his smug attitude anymore. I have had to put up with this for over two hours.

“No not happy I want to hear you say it.” He adds with a grin.

“No. I'm not saying it.”

“Say it Maria or I'm not going to make your life very easy.”

“Fine.” I breathe out. “You are the master of everything that is good in the world and I bow down before you.” I relent with a mock bow. “If that’s all, I have to go and see Max and try and make this all better.”

“Don't you think you have done enough? Why can’t you just leave this alone?” Michael asks nicely as I get up off the couch.

“I know but I have to go and talk to Max and try and say sorry.”

“He's going to be pissed,” he says.

“I know but this is Max. When has he ever stayed mad at anyone?” I swear Max and Liz are a match made in heaven.”

“I don't think you understand.” he says. “Max is now angry and not thinking about him self at the moment, the way Tess attacked Sarah today has put his hackles up and trust me when I say this, Max will do anything to help her now. Max always fight for the under dog and if nothing else with everyone ganging up on Sarah right now I would say she is very much the underdog in this situation.”

“How do you no Max so well?” I ask surprised by his words.

“What Maria? Just because I don't say much doesn't mean I don't have eyes. Give me some credit, Max is my best friend. I know him better than anyone even his own sister.”

“I know, you’re right. I'm sorry.” I add realizing what a bitch I have been.

“I know, now go and try and put things right.” He says getting off the couch and giving me a quick kiss before I go.

Anonymousarfan thanks for your F/b


Part 5

Wow, it’s Friday night and we are all going to Tom Smith’s party. You know a big party where there will be a lot of underage drinking, sex, and all that other stuff drunk teenagers do.

I don't even know why we even came though everyone seems to be in a very bad mood. Maria is one big bundle of nerves, Sarah's not much better, Isabel is just plan old pissed, and Tess well, I don't really know what her problem is.

I don't really know what happened, but ever since Tuesday everyone has been in a grumpy mood. I tried asking Maria, what happened, but she has been very tight lipped about it all. Which in it’s self is a very unusual.

So now we are sitting here watching people get drunk and making fools of themselves. No one has said two words to each other since we got here; it is as if they are all waiting for something to happen.

It is then I notice Max has a drink in his hand, and I have to do a double take because Max doesn’t drink. Can some one remind me to put tape over all the mirrors when we get home because I think I have slipped into a parallel universe and what I don't understand is why are all my friends just watching him get drunk.

You may be thinking what is the big deal? Why can’t Max get drunk once in a while? Will if it was just that, well then I wouldn’t be so worried, but this is Max, my Max. I know him and the fact is he hates drinking. He told me a few years ago that he would never touch the stuff. I think it was because a drunk driver killed his cousin a few years back.

I look over at Maria, and she is looking everywhere but me. So I chance a look at Michael and the look he gives me says it all. He knows exactly what’s going on.

"Michael, can I see you on the deck, please?" I say standing up and making my way through the crowd leaving no room for argument.

”Ok, what’s going on?” I asked as soon as we are out of earshot from the others. I know somthings going on, but that’s not what’s bothering me. What’s bothering me is why I don't know about it.

“What do you mean? Nothing is going on.” He says back trying to look innocent.

I can’t help, but laugh before telling him “Come on Michael you are a terrible lire.”

“Liz it’s not my place to say anything.” He goes on to tell me

”I don't care if it is your place or not! You are going to tell me why Max is right now sitting in the kitchen with people he doesn’t even get along with, beer in hand getting totally drunk and none of you are doing anything to stop him?”


”Like I said I can’t besides Max is a big boy, he can take care of himself.”

”No, Michael, tell me or I'm going to tell Maria you forgot her birthday last year, and it was me that picked out necklaces you gave her.” I almost yell I know that was low, but I really want to know what going on.

”You wouldn’t?” he’s says in shock.

”I would.” I snap back.

He sighs and I see his shoulders slump in defeat.

”himandsarahareonlyatcingliketheracoupleandtonighthesisgoingtokisssomeoneelsetomakeitlookedlikehechetedonher.”He says in one big breath.

”Ok what? Michael I think you have been seeing Maria for way to long. You are even starting to talk like her now. So slow down, and start from the beginning.”

”Max and Sarah are only acting like there a couple, and tonight he is going to kiss someone else to make it look like he cheated on her.” He says again.

Well colour me confused “What? Michael, that doesn’t make any sense at all, and what the hell would he do that for?”

”Sorry, Max.” he says to himself before continuing. “Because he is madly in love with someone else and he was desperate for her to notice him.”

I can feel my heart breaking all over again. Max is in love with someone else and I wonder who is it?

“Why doesn’t he just tell her instead of this big lie?” I ask. I'm a bit confused at this point.

”Oh I don't know maybe the same reason you don't tell him the way you fell.” He says rather dryly.

”What is that suppose to mean?” I snap. “This has nothing to do with me, and my feelings.”

”Liz this has everything to do with you.” He adds levelling me with a look that says everything.

”What how?” I ask even though I know the answer.

”God, you are not that stupid, really?” He says pulling at his hair. “Open your eyes Liz! Max is in love with you. He and Sarah started this whole thing so you would notice him and Kyle would notice her. I don't know what he was thinking; all I know he is in love with you and you are in love with him.” he adds getting even more frustrated.

OH MY GOD! I can’t breath! Yes, Liz, that’s right breath big breath in now out and
repeat.

With out saying another word to Michael and I turn and storm back in to the house. I find Max where we left him sitting in the kitchen, beer in hand, talking to Paul Walker about God knows what. With out saying a word I walk over to him, and yank him out of his chair.

”Liz, what are you doing?” He asks me. I ignore his question, and just steer him into the adjoining room where all our friends are sitting.

“We are leaving. Kyle take Sarah home; I think there is some things you guys should discuss.” I say giving Sarah a look that lets her know I know what’s been going on.

“As for the rest of you I will talk to you tomorrow.” I say looking right at Maria then Isabel. I can’t help, but be very angry at the moment with what Michael just told me, and the mood everyone else is in. I know they all know what has been going on, and I am disappointed no one has done anything to stop Max behaviour tonight.

”Max, we are leaving! I am taking you home before you do something even more stupid.” I say pushing him towards the door.

We are now in Max’s car and I'm driving him home. Since Kyle took our car I get stuck with the jeep. We are half way to Max’s and he has yet to say a word to me. We are both just sitting here in what I can only say is a very uncomfortable silence.

”Who told you?” I hear Max ask in a whisper from his seat.

”Michael.” I tell him. I see his fists clench, and I feel really bad for Michael right now.

“Look, I made him tell me. I threatened him with some info I have and he had no choice.” I tell him. “Not that it really matters who told me. The fact that all of this even happened is what has me totally freaked out.”

”Liz I'm...”

”Not now Max, I really don't want to do this with you now. You are to drunk, and I don't think I'm in the best of mood for talking right now” I say pulling up outside his house.

”Ok.” he slumps in defeat

”I’ll drop the jeep off tomorrow morning.” I say as he gets out and turns to look at me.

”Liz.... is there still a chance?” he asks. At that moment I can see the unshed tears in his eyes, and I know how sorry he is.

”We’ll see Max we’ll see.” I say.

”Ok, we will talk tomorrow.” he says backing away from the car his eyes never leaving mine.

thanks for reading and leaving F/B

Part 6


I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
What the hell? You will never guess what I have just woken up to.

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me

Yes, that is right people! That is my dim-witted brother singing. I don't know what he's so happy about. I have only had about three hours sleep and for the life of me I just want him to shut up.

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

Ok, now he has gone too far, he just barged right into my room singing all the way I might add. “KYLE SHUT THE FUCK UP.” I yell at him while trowing a pillow at his big fat head.

“Elizabeth, you watch you mouth young lady.” I hear my mother yell at me while she was walking down the hallway.

“Sorry mum, I didn’t know you were there.” I really didn’t. God it is really too early for this shit.

“Well that was obvious. Don't let me here you talking like that again.” She says a bit more forcefully.

“Yes mother.” I add with an eye roll.

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

I really wish you could see this if I wasn’t in such a bad mood I would say it was hilarious. My mindless brother is dancing around my room singing. He has even picked up one of my stuffed toy and is dancing with it.

“Come Liz, get up it is a beautiful day.” Kyle says walking over to my curtains and pulling them open.

Sun! No, not the sun! I don't want it to be sunny. I want it to rain! I want it to be miserable just like my mood.

“How can you say that? After everything that happened last night?” I ask confused. Why the hell is he so cheery? Hell, I couldn’t sleep because of what happened. I just couldn’t turn my little brain off.

“What do you mean after last night? Last night was the best night of my life and because of last night I have a date tonight.” He says with a grin spreading from ear to ear.

“What do you mean you have a date?” How can he have a date?

“What do you think I mean? I'm going out with Sarah tonight.” He says as if it was obvious.

Well I suppose it was kind of obvious wasn’t it?

“After everything that happened last night you are still going to out with her?” I ask him. I think he has gone mad. How can he just forgive and forget like that? Especially since I feel so betrayed by what happened.

“What do you mean? I for one am quite pleased how this has all turned out.”

“WHAT? How can you say that? All the lies! Then after they got caught they still didn’t come clean.” I shout in disbelief. I just can’t believe him.

“Well yeah there is that, but if you just look past that you see the bigger picture.” He says sitting down at the end of my bed.

“What do you mean?” I ask. Now he has me hooked, I really want to know his reasoning behind this.

“Well if Sarah and Max hadn’t done what they did then all four of us would still be alone and miserable.”

“What about last night and the fake break up? I get how it would work for Sarah, she would catch Max making out with some chick and she would come running to you for a shoulder to cry on… what don't look at me like that.” I add when I catch Kyle looking at me funny. I know how these things go. I do watch movies to you know.

“What I have been trying to get at is what does Max get out of this? He knew this would upset me.”

“Nothing. This wasn’t a part of the original plan, but when Maria found out and every one ganged up on Sarah, Max saw red and decided to save her dignity.”

“What do you mean?” I ask again. What please don't look at me like that it is too early for my brain to be working to its full potential. I haven’t even had a coffee yet. I am still in bed.

“You really are that stupid in the mornings? Aren’t you? He took one for the team. He sacrificed his own happiness for her's. Anyways, get up get dressed go to Max’s house and make nice. What he did was a good thing.”

'How could you say that?” I ask surprised

“Come on if this happened in a movie or TV show you would be telling me how sweet or romantic it is.” He scoffs at me getting of the bed and heading to the door.

“By the way if you tell anyone I was singing the Carpenters, I will kill you.”

I lie back down in bed and ponder over what Kyle just said. I have to agree with Kyle, but please don't tell him that. I will never hear the end of it. I would think it was sweet and romantic and even though I was a bit angry at first I can’t help, but be happy at the knowledge that Max and Sarah aren’t a couple and never have been.

Yippee.

Fuck it life is to short! I am about to do something I have never done before and take Kyle’s advise.

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

I’m singing! Damn it Kyle, I am going to kill him when I get home ever since I got up I have had that stupid song in my head. Well at least no one can hear me.

I am on my way to Max’s house now and let me tell you my nerves are fried. I have sweaty palms and my tummy is going mad with all the butterflies that have now taken up residence in there. I can't believe I am about to do this.

I knock on the door and it seems like forever before he opens it up to greet me. I can see he doesn’t quite know what to expect. He almost looks frightened.

So what do I do? I throw myself at him and smack a big wet one on him and boy did it feel good. I have dreamed about this moment for a long time and it was everything I thought it would be.

“OH MY GOD! I just kissed Max.” I say touching my lips taking a step back a bit dazed.

“Yes you did.” I hear Max breath out.

“Did I just say that out loud?” I ask. I can’t believe I did that.

“Yes you did.” Max repeats.

[kiwigirl]

Well im really not to happy with this next part but im going to post it anyway

Thanks guys for you feed back it means a lot


Part 7

Max Pov

Wow, Liz Parker just kissed me! When I opened the door I thought I would be reading the riot act not kissed, but hey I'll take what I can get at this point.

“Well that’s not what I expected.” I say still some what surprised. “I thought you would hate me.”

“I did at first, but then Kyle said something’s that made a lot of sense.” She says with a silly grin on her face.

“Well I guess there is a first time for everything.” I laugh. It is then I realize we are still standing in the doorway. “Do you want to come in?” I ask standing aside so she can walk into the house.

“Sorry about that I didn't mean to throw myself at you.” Liz says. I can tell she’s a little embarrassed by her actions.

“Hey I'm not complaining. Just a bit confused is all.” I say scratching my ear rather nerveless.

“So what did Kyle have to say for himself that made you not mad at me?” I think I might kiss Kyle later.

“He told me what you did when everyone found out about Sarah and yourself. I'm still not to happy about that by the way, but it was sweet and I know you so I know what your like. Your lucky buddy if it had been anyone else I would have smacked you upside the head.” She tells me.

“Yeah well....” I start to explain, but I'm stopped when Liz puts up her hands.

“Now let me be clear Max, I want you to tell me everything right from the beginning, and I mean everything Max. I assume you know how I feel about you right?” She stops talking and looks at me waiting for some sort of sign she is right, and let me know how important these next few minuets will be, so instead of saying anything I nod in response just to be safe.

“Right, so then I want to know how you thought this little plan of yours would work.”

“Well when Sarah first suggested this I didn’t really think it all the way through.” I say scratching my ear again. I really have to stop doing that before I scratch off all the skin.

“Carry on.”

“Why don't we go up stairs so we don't get interrupted.” I suggest pointing towards the stairs. I would hate for Isabel to walk in right now and make this a whole lot worse.

*****

“Ok, start talking Max. I think I have let you stall long enough.” I hear Liz say with a smug smile on her face.

God, I wish I could kiss her right now.

“Ok so about a month ago, Sarah approached me with a proposal. She said she had noticed how I am always looking at you like you where my last meal. Her words not mine by the way.” I add when I see the funny look Liz is giving me right now.

“Right anyway, she then told me she had a major crush on Kyle, but everything she had ever done to get Kyle's attention hadn’t worked. So she said that if we pretended to go out for awhile it might make you guys see what you where missing out on.” I stop to chance a look in Liz's direction. Trying to read how all this is going down.

“Ok, I get all that. I even get why you where going to make yourself look like a total jerk. That’s the part that was really sweet, but tell me one thing. Why were you sitting there getting drunk last night? You said that was never going to happen to you. That drinking was an evil vice that messes with peoples lives. You vowed to me that you were never going to drink. Then I walk in and there you are sitting at a table getting trashed.” She says looking disappointed.

I hang my head. I can’t even look at her right now. She’s right, I did tell her a long time ago I was never going to be one of those high school guys that did nothing, but get drunk at parties and make out with chicks.

“I know and I'm sorry, but I had only had two beers. I just couldn’t see anyway around it their was no way I was going to be able to kiss some random girl with out my senses a little dulled.” I say looking up right into Liz's eyes
“Why? I mean it’s only kissing Max. That’s no reason to throw all you morals out the window.

“It wasn’t you. I can’t even imagine kissing anyone else, but you.” I say looking at her right in the eye. I want her to see the truth.

The next thing that happens takes me totally by surprise I expected to be slapped, but instead I have the gorgeous Liz Parker in my arms kissing me again. Well this day is full of surprises.

“Um Liz...?”

“Shut up and kiss me, you idiot.” She laughs before sealing her lips to mine again.

This is the best day of my life. I'm like a kid at Christmas, who just got everything they asked for. Then it all went to hell by the arrival of my stupid sister.

“Max, mom needs to know...holly hell....” Isabel yells from her spot by the door. Her month opening and closing like a fish. “I'm just going to...” She say pointing over her shoulder and backing out of the room and closing the door behind her.

“I am going to kill Isabel later.” I say looking right into Liz’s eyes.

“Don’t be too hard on her. She didn’t even know I was in here and I think that was the last thing she expected to see.” She adds with another grin.

“I'm still going to kill her.” I say leaning down for another kiss.

“Ok, as much as I would like to stay here all day I have to go. I have work in half an hour.”

“Ok can I pick you up after work, and take you out on a date so we can talk?” I ask placing my hand on her cheek. She has such soft skin and so kissable.

“I'm counting on it. Now, let me go so I can go to work.” She says playfully still not moving from my arms.

“You.... are going.... to be the... death.... of me... Miss Parker. ” I tell her in between kisses.

“I hope so.” She giggles. “I really really need to go. I'm going to be so late as it is.”

“Ok go and I'll pick you up ay six. I think their is some things we need to talk about.” I say letting her leave my arms.

“Yeah your right. I only came here to get the facts not try and jump you.” She says still giggling.

“Well I'm not about to start complaining, but I think we should discuss this before it goes any further. Now go before I change my mind.” I tell her giving her a slap on the ass as she leaves my room.

Liz pov

Ok, I really am on top of the world now. I know I just threw myself at Max just then, but I couldn’t help myself. He was just standing there looking so sorry for himself it was just too adorable for words.

I know we still have a lot to talk about, but right now I don't really care. I kissed him and he kissed me back, and it was the best feeling in the world.

Now, I only have to get this silly grin of my face before I start work. Maria will take one look at me and know something has happened. Considering my mood when I last saw her at the party last night she will defiantly know something’s up.

*****

“So, what up with you today? You have a grin on your face that could light up the all of Roswell.” I hear Maria ask coming up behind me. “And after you stormed off last night I thought for sure I was a dead woman walking.”

“You were a dead woman walking until I saw Max and he explained a few things.” I say as that stupid grin reappears on my face.

“I knew it, so what’s the go with you and Max...” Maria asks wiggling her eyebrows up and down suggestively. “Are you two… you know?”

“I think so? We still haven’t really talked about things, but it looks good.” I say getting excited all over again.

“YAY.” Maria yells. “Oh my baby is all grown up.” She adds pinching my cheeks.

“Women this food won’t serve itself.” I hear Michael yell from the kitchen.

“Michael, I swear if you call me women ever again, I will cut of the goody supply.” she yells back. “Men! Are you sure you want one?”

“Very.”

[kiwigirl]

Ok guys here is the next part please tell me what you think. I’m not to sold on it , anyway thanks for reading.



Part 8

Liz POV

I am so pleased work is over, but now I only have an hour to get home, shower and change before Max will be there to pick me up. Lucky for me I have roped in Maria to help me because I of course, now have a major case what the hell am I going to wear.
I was all good until about five minutes before work finished then when we pull up to my house I go into full on panic mode.

“Oh god Maria, what am I doing? This is Max we're talking about! Can I really go out with him as anything other than a friend?” I say my voice rising with each word until I am just about yelling.

“Chicken little, can you hear yourself? Look calm down, your only going out to talk and sort some stuff out. There is no need to shit your self over it.” She says with an eye roll. There goes my best friend Maria, never one to mince words.

“Ok, your right. Your right, it’s not like we are running off to Vegas to get marred.”

“Yeah I am, so lets go get you showed and changed, so when Max gets here you will blow his mind.”

We hop out of the car and make our way towards the house. Maria racing off a head of me muttering something about a wardrobe and because she is ahead of me I assume she is all ready in my room ripping my wardrobe apart.

When I get into the house it is strange to me when I see Maria bent over by the boy’s bathroom door and can I just say she is laughing her ass off.

“Maria what the hell is so funny?” I ask a little confused. See its not that she’s laughing that has me confused. No, no, no, she laughs all the time sometimes for no reason at all, but the fact is she is laughing so hard that no sound is coming out of her mouth at all. Ok, maybe a snort every now and then, but that’s about it.

“Listen.” She says again with another round of silent laughter. So that’s what I do. I lean my ear against the door and listen. I hear none other than my bloody brother singing for the second time today and in the shower none the less. Have a listen for yourself.

It was an itsy bitsy teeny weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today.
An itsy bitsy teeny weenie yellow polka-dot bikini,
So in the locker she wanted to stay....

Where does he get these songs from?

Now she is afraid to come out of the water
And I wonder what she's gonna do.
Now she is afraid to come out of the water,
And the poor little girl's turning blue.

Ok, you heard that too. Right? Now you see what so funny? It is one thing to sing when you know its only your family home, but quite another to be singing stupid songs like that when you know that at this time of day anyone is likely to be walking through the door.

I don't really know when it happened, but it seems our house is the local hang out besides the crash down that is. Even when were not home our friends are. Anyway at least I know what to get Kyle for Christmas now, but where does one get a yellow polka dot bikini these days. That’s not important right now, what is important is I have just seen the clock and I now only have 45 minuets left to get ready.

“I have to stop laughing and start breathing.” I hear Maria say breaking me away from my thoughts. Shit! She is now on the floor, rolling around like a blowing ball.

“Maria get up off the floor. We have work to be done and we can’t do it if you don’t get yourself under control.” I say rather bluntly. Oh man, I sound like my mom. Wow that’s depressing.

“I know, but that’s just too funny.” She adds starting to laugh all over again.

“Maria big breath in and let it out.” I say grabbing her shoulders willing her to do as I say.

******
Well I finally get Maria into my room and half calmed down, but that’s still not helping me any I now only have 35 minutes until tee off.

“MARIA STOP GIGGLING LIKE A DAMN SCHOOL GIRL AND HELP ME!” I yell hoping that might do the trick.

“Woo calm down, their is no need to get you panties in a bunch. Does it really matter if your a little late Max will wait you know?” She says eyes rolling over my dramatics.

“Now go, and jump in the shower so I can find you something to wear.” She orders.


When I hop out of the shower and walk back to my room I notice the perfect outfit laying on my bed just ready for me to sip on. Got to love Maria. She has chosen the best outfit for the night. It’s not too flashy, but not too casual; just right. A pair of low rid black bootleg pants and a red three quarter sleeve top with zip. Simple, but nice.

After I get dressed, and put on my boots I do my hair and makeup. At least I'm lucky it doesn’t take me long. I have very strait hair so all I have to do is dry it, and I don't wear a lot of make up just a little blush, bit of mascara, some lip gloss and I'm good to go.

“Ok hot mama, Max has arrived and can I just say Damn does he look good.” Maria sighs walking further into my room. “But don't tell Michael I said that.”

“Ok, so how do I look?” I ask turning around so she can get the full picture.

“Great, now get your skinny butt down those stairs before that boy gets so nervous he pees his pants.” She jokes.

Giggling, I leave my room and make my way down stairs, but when I get there I just about can’t move the butterfly's have returned with vengeances and are now making me ill and needing to pee all at the same time.

Lucky for me Max hasn’t seen me yet because he has his back to me, so I have a few seconds to calm myself down. When he dose turn around it’s like a movie in slow motion. Seconds feel like hours and for a moment the butterflies stop moving. Damn this boy is sexy! He isn't wearing anything I haven't seen him in before, but still he is looking hotter tonight than he ever has before. Dressed in tan cargo pants and a black sweater, he simply couldn’t look any better.

“Wow! You look great.” Max says when he sees me.

“Thanks.” I blush.” You look great too.”

“Well don't you to look like an advertisement for young love if ever I saw it.” Kyle says as he walks down the stairs behind us. I really am going to kill him one day. Don't get me wrong I do love the boy, but I don't really like him right now.

“Bite me.” I reply dryly.

“What? Where’s the love?” He asks trying to look innocent.

“Hidden under your bed. That’s the only love you will ever get. All in a nice little package called Busty Biker Babes.” I reply. “Yeah, you didn't think I knew about those did you? Now if you excuse me we are leaving.” I grab Max's hand before Kyle can answer back, and we just leave him standing there stunned.

We get outside and Max places his hand on my back escorting me to his jeep. I swear his touch is electric. When we get to the car he even opens the car door for me, and who say chivalry is dead. Remind me to tell his mom and dad what a wonder full job they did.

The drive to the restaurant was in complete silence and not the comfortable kind either. I don't know about Max, but I'm feeling really silly right now. I mean, I can’t even start a conversation. My palms are all sweaty, and I think the butterflies have had kids because what I'm feeling right now cannot be normal. Right?

I feel sick. Really sick. I hope we don't go over any bumps in the road because that might trigger my up chuck reflex and that would not be good on a first date. We where supposed to go out tonight, so we could discuss our up and coming relationship, and well… so far neither of us have said a word.

“We are really stupid aren’t we?” I hear Max ask me breaking me out of my thoughts.

“Why? What do you mean?” I ask turning in my seat so I can look at him.

“Well, we have both had secret crushes on each other for the longest time and the first time we go out on a date we freeze. Hardly saying two words to one another.” He tells me with a cheeky grin on his face.

“I know we are so pathetic.” I say laughing, but still burying my face in my hands because of the embarrassments of the situation.

“How about we go in and have a nice meal and just let things flow. It’s not like we have never been left alone before. I think we are old enough and ugly enough to have a night out with out it being uncomfortable.” Max states with a nod of his head as if it was law.

“Speak for yourself.” I giggle.


When we get into Senor Chows we are seated in a nice booth and the waitress
comes and takes our orders. Then it happens again that uncomfortable silence sneaks back in and we are both just sitting there like a couple of mutes. It is not only sad, but also very depressing.

“Man, we really do suck at this.” Max laughs. Well, he’s right we really do suck at this.

“I know.” I laugh as well. “Why is this so hard?” I ask still laughing.

“Maybe is because we have known each other so long as just friends moving into the next phase is proving to be a bit harder then we thought.” He replies.

“Could be.” I reply. “So to stop this uncomfortable silences we have…mastered tell me about school? What are your plans after the summer? Have you decided what you’re doing yet?” I ask, I really have no idea what Max wants to do as far as school goes. I don't know why that is really. I think is must be because ever since I have had feelings for him we haven't really had too many conversations. Don't get me wrong Max and I are friends, but we never talked about the big stuff.

“I don't really know. Dad wants me to go to school and get a law degree, but I was thinking of going into the fire service instead.” He says all of a sudden finding his napkin very interesting.

“Really?” I ask shocked. I didn't know what he wanted to do, but a fireman. That has me compliantly surprised.

“Wow, that would be cool. I can just see you dressed up in a fireman costume.” I say making him blush a little. Man, he is cute when he does that.

“Yeah, well I don't know? You have to be a volunteer for a couple of years first then you have to pass a fitness test. I don't know if that’s what I want to do yet. I was just thinking about.” He says a little embarrassed. I don't know what he’s so embarrassed about I think it great.

“I think you should do it. Just listening to you talk about it you can tell that’s what you want to do.” I say, but I can still see doubt in his eyes.

“You should talk to your dad and tell him how you feel. I know most parents would be proud of their sons going into the fire service. You could be a true American hero.” I say deciding to end the conversation there before I go off on a tangent.

“So what about you? What are you doing after summer? Off to Harvard like you all ways wanted to?” Max asks me changing the subject.

“Um no I'm not going to Harvard or any other collage for that matter.” I say. This was not something I wanted to talk about tonight.

“What I thought collage was your dream? Why aren’t you going to collage?” he asks me.

“Yeah well, dreams change. The truth is I don't really know what I want to do with the rest of my life anymore, so I have decided to take a year off and see how I feel after that.” I say just as our food arrives.

“Bet your dad loved that.” He replied.

“I think he gave birth to kittens. He got so mad he went bright red and just about exploded." I say with a smile. I know is not really that funny, but to look back on it now.

“That’s not really what bothered me though. I knew he would blow a gasket, but when Kyle told him he was going to be a mechanic and not go of to school it was like Son, I'm so proud of you finally starting to settle down and work towards your future.” I say mocking my farther. It makes me sick, the double standard. I have always been the perfect student then when I want a year off I almost get disowned.

We finish our dinner in silence from their on, but this is a good silence the kind where you don't need words; just a look.

Hi guys thanks for reading and leaving F/B this story is coming to a end and there is only this and one other part to go thanks to Tinkerbell_Luvs_Roswell for being my beta on this girl you have been a great help



Part 9

*Liz POV*

After dinner, Max suggested we go for a walk. Which was good because I really didn't feel like going home, yet. So hand in hand we walk up Main Street, and turned to make our way to the park.

“I'm sorry Liz, about the whole Sarah thing, and everything that happened.” I hear Max apologize quietly “I never wanted to hurt anyone. I just want you to see me, you know? If I had known, how you felt I would have never done it. I didn't want to hurt anyone’s feelings.”

“It's ok Max. Really it is, no one got really hurt, so no harm no foul. But I would like to ask you something if that’s ok?” I say. I’m a bit nervous about my question, I don't really know if I want to hear what he will say, but I have to know one way or the other.

“Anything, you can ask me anything. Anytime you want to, you know that right?” he says stopping our walk so he can look at me.

Ok Liz, big breath, here we go. “Did you and Sarah ever...you know do anything?” I ask embarrassed. “I mean every time I saw the two of you together you always had your arms around each other or holding hands, and I saw a few kisses here and there.” I am so embarrassed right now. I am so pleased it’s dark because I can feel my cheeks burning up.

“NO.” Max shouts in a hurry. “You can get that thought right out of your head. we held hands and cuddled, but only when someone was around. The kissing was never more than a peek here and there, and never ever any tongue.” he breath out in a hurry trying to ease my doubt.

“Right sorry, I just needed to know.” I reply giggling. The look on his face was just too funny.

“Don't say sorry for wanting to know that. I think if roles were reversed I would want to know the same thing.”

*Max POV*

When we get to the park we make our way over to the swings, so we can just sit there and talk. It has been so long since we have had a real conversation with out all our friends around. We must have been talking for hours about everything and anything. I told her more about the fire service. She told me about why school just wasn't that important anymore.

Well that took me by surprise. I never thought I would see the day when Liz Parker just wasn't into school anymore. Ever since I have known Liz, school and collage have been her dream. When I finely look at my watch I see it is almost one o’clock in the morning.
“Shit, I think I should get you home before your parents send out a search party.”

“Max, I'm eighteen, I don't have a curfew and daddy doesn’t wait up for me anymore.” Liz jokes pushing my arm playfully.

“I know, but I still don't want your dad to hate me before we get this relationships off the ground. Come on I'll walk you home.” I say lacing my fingers with hers.

The walk home is made in relative silence. As we get close to Liz's house I can feel my nerves start to pick up. Should I kiss her when we get to her door? Will she want me to kiss her? Should I ask her out again? God, when did this all this dating thing get so hard?

“So do you have work tomorrow?” I ask

“Nope I have a full two days off.”

“Sweet, so do you have any plans?” I ask trying to sound cool I don't want to come of as nerdy.

“No, not really, but their is this guy I kind of like I was thinking about asking him if he wanted to hang out.” she says teasing.

“Well, if he's not inserted give me a call. I'll be more than willing to hang with you. In fact why don't you not ring him and come out with me tomorrow instead.” I say playing along with her game.

“Well…I suppose I could do that instead, it would save me a phone call.” she giggles.

“You suppose?” I ask stopping and turn her towards me, so she is looking at me

“Well if your going to be like that, maybe you should go out with the other guy. I don't want to be a consolation prize.” I say pulling her to me so I can wrap my arms around her.

“Aw is my baby jealous?” she asks looking at me with her puppy dog eyes.

“Yes.”

“Aw lucky for you I like you more, and would much rather go out with you.” she says pinching my cheeks.

“Cool.” I blush. “So what time should I pick you up?”

“How about ten.” she tells me.

“Really? You'll be up by ten?” I ask. Never since I have known Liz has she been up before ten. If it's not a school day and she doesn’t have work she'll sleep till noon if you let her.
“Yes I'll be up. I can get out of bed if I have too you know.” she says rolling her eyes.

“Ok then, I guess I should get you home so you can get some sleep before I pick you back up.”

“So I guess I'll see you tomorrow.” I say as we reach Liz's house.

“Yeah, I'll be waiting.”

“Whatever.” I laugh “I am willing to bet you twenty dollars that you are still in bed when I get there.”

“You pig, I'll take that bet,” she says pushing me. Ok, do I kiss her now?

“Right so...”

“So...” she repeats.

“Fuck it.” I say before swooping down and sealing her lips to mine.
“Sorry about that.” I say, as we break apart.

“Don’t say sorry, just do it again.” she tells me before our lips meet again for another mind-blowing kiss. Her lips are like satin. She slides her tongue along the bottom of my lip begging for more in witch I replay buy opening myself up to her fully. I have never had a kiss like this before I feel like I'm about to burst onto flames at any moment. Her hands are in my hair trying to pull me closer, if that is even possible, and my hands won’t stop moving either. I run my hands along her back until I come to her waist. I lifting her shirt, so I can feel her skin on my fingers. Her skin feels so soft and so hot it feels like my hands are on fire but I cant pull them away I just want to feel more.

“I should go.” She says grinning as she breaks the kiss her lips are swollen her breathing has speed up.

“Yeah I know.” I breathe out saddened buy our loss of contact “So I'll pick you up tomorrow at ten?”

“Ten.”

******
“Good morning family.” I say as I walk into the kitchen seeing everyone sitting their eating breakfast. I am in such a good mood today the birds are singing the sun is shining, and well… Liz and I are a couple.

Wait, Liz and I are a couple right? After everything we talked about last night we never put a label on things. I'm sure we are a couple, I mean we're going out again today, so that’s got to be a good sign right? Never mind I am too happy to let that get me down today.

“Mom, you are looking lovely today.” I say leaning over giving her a kiss on the cheek.

“Isabel as always you look beautiful.” I say also given her a kiss also.

“Who are you and what have you done with Max?” Isabel asks me looking shocked. Well I suppose, I would be to if I was her. I don't think I have ever kissed her of my own free will before I my life.

“What aren’t I allowed to kiss my mother and sister?” I ask grinning.

“Wow Max, what has you in such a good mood this morning?” I hear my mom ask me before sliding some pancakes onto my plate.

“Liz.” Isabel answers for me rolling her eyes.

“Really? This is new. I thought you were seeing that Sarah girl, what happened to her? She was nice.” mom asks me oblivious as to what has happened.

“That was all pretend...owe.” I cut Isabel off by kicking her under the table. “What did you do that for? Pig.” She cries out in pain rubbing her shin.

“What do you mean pretend?” I mother asks looking a little confused.

“Nothing.” I growl giving Isabel a pointed look.


I arrive at Liz house at ten on the dot. I don't bother to knock because well lets face it I haven't knock on that door for about four years.

“Morning Parker family.” I say loudly walking into their kitchen “And Maria.” I add when I see her sitting at the table talking to Liz’s mom. “So is Liz around? I am supposed to pick her up at ten.” I ask grabbing an apple and taking a bite.

I hear Maria snort. “Max really? Liz up before noon you have to be kidding.” She snorts again.

“I knew it.” I laugh. “I bet her twenty dollars her ass wouldn't be out of bed in time. The easiest twenty bucks I have ever made.”

“She bet money she would be on time.” Nancy Liz's mom asks me starting to laugh herself.

“I know, that’s what I said.” I laugh as well.

“So I take it everything went well last night?” I hear Maria ask. Great, she had to ask in front of the parental sitting at the table.

“What? Was it you that Liz went out with last night?” Nancy asks spitting her coffee all over the table.

Shit! Thanks Maria, as much as I love the girl she really doses has bad timing.

“Um…yeah.” I say scratching my ear.

“Well it's about time. I have been waiting for you to get together for ages.” Nancy says shocking the hell out of me.

“Really?” I ask surprised.

“Come on Max, you two were so obvious the man on the moon could see it.” she laughs.

“Right. Ok then I think I am just going to go and wake little Miss Parker up.” I say trying to get the hell out of the room before she say anything else.

“This is something I have to see.” Maria says jumping up to follow me.

“Whatever just stay at the door and don't make a sound.” I grin coming up with a plan.

“Ok, but wait I'm going to go and get Kyle.” she says running off to his room.

I slowly open her door and poke my head in to see if she is still in bed and I'm not disappointed. Their she is all tucked up in her bed nice and warm. I walk into her room further and sneak over to her bed, she hasn’t even moved an inch. I slowly climb on to her bed moving my body so I am so close, but no touching then I yell

“BOO!”

*Liz POV*

“BOO!”

“Ahhh.” I scream bolting upright in my bed.

“What the fuck?” I ask before I hear laughter coming from my doorway. It is then I see Maria, Kyle and my mum laughing their ass off. I suddenly feel the weight shift on my bed. Then I see Max sitting next to me grinning like a damn fool. I am still in shock that I don't even realize what just happened. My heart is beating a hundred miles per hour and my breathing is erratic then it hits me.

“You fucking dick.” I yell grabbing a pillow and smashing it over Max head. “ What the hell did you do that for and what are all you laughing about? It not funny, I could have died of fright.”

“Liz, calm down and stop being so dramatic.” I hear my mother say still laughing.

“Shut up all of you! It’s not funny I almost peed my pants." Oh my god, I just said I almost peed my pants out loud and Max heard me say that. Oh my god Max is in my room lying on my bed. Now if he had just woken me up with a kiss and not scaring the shit out of me this would have been a good morning.

“Well in less your in the business of scaring the crap out of people for a living, what the hell are you doing here? Not that I mind you being in my bed.”

“I think that’s my cue to leave.” I hear my mom say from the doorway. “Max I suggest you stand up right now.” she says before leaving, but not before we get a warning look.

“Sorry, I forgot she was there.” I say looking over to Max, who is now standing on the other side of my room looking very red indeed.

“So anyway, what are you doing here at…?” I stop to look at my clock, shit it's ten thirty. That’s right I was suppose to be up and ready to go by ten today.

“Shit.” I say looking guilty.

“Yeah, shits right. I told you, did I or did I not say that I would bet you twenty dollars that your ass would not be out of bed.” he asks me looking smug.

“Yes you did say all that, but still did you really need to wake me up like that. A simple Liz, it’s time to get up, would have been a lot nicer.” I say in a singsong voice.

“Now where's the fun in that?” he laughs. “Anyway, because I did that lets call it even and you can keep your twenty bucks.”

“What? You were going to make me pay.” I gasp.

“Well, yeah it was a bet.” he says rolling his eyes. “Now get that cute ass of yours out of bed and into the shower and do what ever you girls do in the mornings. I am going to wait for you in Kyle’s room.” he says before walking over to me and placing a kiss on my cheek and walking out of the room.

“Well I never.” I say shocked to no one.

“Ah that was so funny, and then when you said you almost pissed yourself I swear I almost died right there in your doorway.” Maria laughs walking into my room and lying down on my bed.

“Well, I'm so glad my embarrassment is entertaining.” I snarl the most embarrassing moment of my life and Maria is laughing at it. Well ok, so it's not the most embarrassing, but it rates right up there.

“Shut up and get over yourself. Tell me about last night? I take it things went well.” she asks wiggling her eyebrows up and down suggestively.

“Yeah.” I giggle. I seem to be doing that a lot lately “ At first it was kind of awkward, but after we got to dinner it got better. Then we went to the park and just talked, I didn't get home till one thirty this morning.” I sigh remembering about the night before.

“Just talked? What the hell do you mean just talked? You can’t really expect me to believe that.” she asks looking at me like I have two heads.

“Girls might I remind you parents are walking around the house? While I know your not five anymore I don't want to here about your dates and what did or did not happened on them, so I suggest you close the door.” my mother yells from the hall holding a pile of laundry.

“You know Miss P I think your right so I'm just going to closes this.” Maria says getting of the bed and closing the door. “Ok, door is closed, we are all alone you can tell me what happened.”

I sigh I knew I wasn't going to get away with that. “ I told you we went to dinner then went to the park and talked after that he walked me home. That’s it.” I breathe out hoping she will drop it.

“I don't think so sunshine, you can not sit there and tell me nothing happened.”

“Yes I can.” I say tight-lipped. I'm lucky too because we are then interrupted by someone barged though the door.

“What's up bitches?” Tess yells walking into my room.

“Well, Liz here was just about to tell me exactly happened on her date with Max last night.” Maria tells her

“Well sorry I don't want to be a bitch here, but I don't want to talk about anything to do with Max Evans.” she say sitting down on the bed with a thud

“What the hell is your damage with Max?” I ask confused since when have those two been at war? I look to Maria for some sort of sign that she knows what going on. Which in itself is stupid because Maria knows everything. She's simply just rolls her eyes.

“He knows what he’s done and when he’s ready to say sorry I will listen and forgive, but till then he can kiss my ass.” she say emphasizing her point by slapping her bum.

“Whatever, I have to go and have a shower before we go out.” I say dragging my ass out of bed. “Anyway what are you guys doing here so early?” I ask as it has just accrued to me that it’s only ten forty in the morning and these people know to well that this is not normal for me to be up at this time.

“I was bored at home, so I came to bug your mom.” Maria says shrugging her shoulders.

“Stuart wanted to come and get his shirt from Kyle, so I tagged along figured Maria would be here anyways.” Tess shrugs as well.

“Is there a homing beckon on the top of this house that you all just gravitate towards?” I ask getting my clothes together for my shower.

“No, but your parents are so cool.“ Maria wines

“Your mom’s cool, Maria.”

“Well yeah, she had me didn't she, but she hippy cool not something everyone wants to hang with.”

“I like your mom. She’s funny the way she talks about crystals and oils and stuff it just cracks me up.” Tess says out of now where.

“See that’s what I mean. I love my mom I really do, but even I don't want to talk about hippy shit all the time. If you want to know what I think? she smoked a bit to much weed in her youth.” Maria says the last part in a whisper. Well, she might have a point.

“Whatever, I really have to jump in the shower.” I say leaving the room.

When I get back to my room I can feel the tension as soon as I walk in the door. Then I see why Sarah has arrived and Tess does not look happy about it. What is her issue with Sarah and Max? Ah now I get it, sorry I'm a bit slow

“Liz, look who’s arrived.” Maria yells as soon as I walk into the room making everybody jump.

“I see that Maria.” I say smiling at Sarah the poor girl looks so unsure of herself. I feel so bad for her.

“How you doing Sarah?” I ask trying to be nice. I know what you’re thinking how can you be nice to that girl after the stunt she pulled with Max? Well to tell you the truth I have decided to be the bigger person here in the end everyone is with the people they should be. So I don't see the point in being all bitchy about it.

“I'm good, thanks.” she says in nothing more than a whisper.

Then I hear Tess snorting and not the funny kind either it the yeah right kind.

“Don't mind Tess she just got her period.” I say trying to cover for Tess being rude.

“Well all we need now is Isabel and Alex and the whole gang is here.” Maria says loudly trying to break the tension

“I heard my name. Are you guys talking about how sexy I am?” Alex says walking into my room followed by Isabel.

“Whatever.” Tess says making her hands into the w sign.

“Anyway I will ignore that last comment, what are we all doing today?” Alex asks making himself comfortable on my bed.

“Well I don't know about the rest of you, but I plan on spending the day with Max.” I say trying to do my hair, not an easy task when my room has filled up with an extra five people that get in way.

“So what are you two doing that the rest of as can’t?” Alex asks looking disappointed.

“Your kidding right?” I ask my eyes bugging out of my head. “You guys don't need Max and I for entertainment.”

“Well maybe not Max, but your always good for a laugh.” Isabel says adding her two cents

“Gee thanks, I am so glad I could be a service to you.” I say bowing

“So what are you doing anyway?” Alex asks.

“I don't know ask Max.” I say growing tired of all these people getting in the way while I'm trying to get ready.

“Fine I will.” Alex adds jumping of my bed and running to Kyle’s room. I am so sorry Max, I say to myself knowing that our day together has just been ruined and what do you know half an hour latter Alex comes walking back into my room telling Isabel to get her stuff because we are off to the river.

Great. I knew I should have kept my mouth shut. Now instead of a nice quite day of Max and I getting better acquainted we have to put up with our bone headed friends because you know where we go the rest will follow. Sheep I tell you sheep.

*Max POV*

“Hey, that’s not fair! You cheated.” Kyle yells at me throwing his X-box control across the room.

“ I didn't cheat. How could I?” I say laughing.

“Shut up Kyle, you lost it's my turn get over it.” Stuart says laughing as well.

“This sucks my X-box and I can’t even play it.” Kyle adds pouting.

“Aw, does the baby want his bottle?” Stuart adds in a baby voice.

“Hey Max, what are you and Liz doing to day?” Alex asks me. Hey, when did he get here?

“I was thinking the river, why?” I ask not really paying attention I'm to busy concentrating on the game to realize what I have just done.

“Cool, see you there.” he says leaving.

“Ok, cool.” I tell him. Hang on, what just happened? Shit, their goes my nice quite day with Liz.

“So a day at the river sounds cool. What time should Tess and I meet you there.” Stuart asks not taken his eyes of the game.

“About lunch time.” I sigh. Well theirs not much point in saying anything different they will just turn up anyway.

“Cool, Tess!” He yells trying to get his girlfriends attention.

“Honey, I was in the next room not China.” Tess says looking angry walking into the room.

“Yeah ok whatever, you want to go to the river today?” He asks still not taken his eyes of the game.

“Yeah that’s cool, but I have to call in home and get my stuff.”

“Sweet”

“Cool, I should call Sarah and ask if she wants to come.” Kyle now adds.

“She’s already here you dumb ass. She’s been in Liz's room for the last half an hour or so.” Tess says looking annoyed.

“What! Why didn't anybody tell me?” He asks jumping up of the floor and running to Liz's room.

“Ok women lets go and get your shit and go already.” Stuart says putting down the control and leaving the room with Tess following behind him and then their was one. I guess I should go and get Liz so we can get this show on the road.

Part 10

Liz POV

"You know we could go somewhere else and just leave our friends at the river without us." I hear Max say from besides me pulling my attention from the passing scenery.

"What’s the point? They will just find us no matter where we go." I answer I'm still a bit disappointed by how our day has worked out, but I don't see the point in getting my knickers in a knot about it. Next time we just won’t tell them a thing and they will be none the wiser. Besides with neither of us going to school this semester I figure we will have lots of time to get reacquainted.

"I know, but it could be fun. It would be a bit like hide and seek with cars." he says with a big grin wiggling his eyebrow's.

"True. That could be fun, but why don't we leave that for another day. We might be able to find a nice private place away from prying eyes." now it is my turn to wiggle my eyebrows.

"And maybe if I hurry we get there before everyone else and we can find a nice place before they do." he says speeding up the car.

The day is great, the sky is clear with not a cloud is to be seen, the water is crystal clear and very refreshing and I am sitting here with the best group of friends a girl could ask for it is sad really this could be one of our last time out here as one big group.

The river has been a long-standing hangout for us over the years. As our little group has grown the lake has stayed the same. Instead of bikes we have cars, and instead of being single we have all paired up.

Alex and Isabel are off to Boston for school in the fall. Tess and Stuart will be leaving soon for California. Michael and Maria are off to New York for six months to try their luck in the world of up and coming art's, Maria as a singer and Michael a artist’s. I don't know what Sarah has planned, I just hope Kyle doesn’t get hurt if she is leaving to go off to collage.

So that just leaves Kyle, Max and me. I haven't told anyone apart from Max and Kyle about my decision about not going to school. I just don't want to deal with all the questions just yet, especially when I don't have any answers for them.

I just can’t be bothered anymore. I am only eighteen, I have years to figure out what I want to do with my life. I want to enjoy my youth a bit more before going of to school for four years. You never know I might just change my mind in a couple of months, but until then I'm just happy doing what I'm doing.

"What’s going on in that pretty little head of yours?" I hear Max ask me breaking me out of my thoughts. God, he looks good with no shirt on and dripping wet.

"I was just thinking about school and how everyone will be going soon." I say sadly

"Have you changed your mind?" he asks me sounding tight lipped.

"No, just thinking that’s all." I tell him. I see him relax then. "Don't worry I'm not about to leave you here when I just got you all to myself."

"You know what? Why don't I give you something else to think about?" he says before leaning down to brush his lips over mine for a brief kiss.

"Don't worry about everyone leaving I'll still be here and Kyle, it's not like you will be all alone." he say in a more serious manner trying to make me feel better.

"I know. Now kiss me again and make me forget all about it." I say before pulling him back to me. This kiss is completely different to the one we had before, this was explosive it sent shivers down my spin. This is the best feeling in the world I want to get closer and feel more of him. I feel his hands on my exposed flesh and it feels like I have been touched by the hand of god himself.

"Hey you two keep it PG. Remember Max, that is my sister you have you hands all over and I will not hesitate to kick you ass if I see those hands moving into area that is not appropriate for younger audiences." my brother yells at us breaking us apart. I have said it before and I'll say it again. I love my brother I really do, but I don't like him much at the moment.

"Keep dreaming, Kyle. You know you couldn’t beat Max in a fight so let not pretend otherwise." I yell back putting Kyle in his place. Kyle beating Max up! What a joke.

“You are looking at 160 pounds of Greek Roman wrestler and I suggest you remember that." he yells at me.

"Whatever, now where were we?" I ask turning back to Max

"Right about here." he says before our lips meet again. These kisses just keep getting better and better. Every kiss we share is better than the last. I run my hands through his hair and down his back, marvelling at how sculpted his muscles are. I can’t help, but let a moan escape from my mouth.

"Really people, this is a family show. Keep it clean." I hear Michael yell at us. Damn it, I wish these people would just disappear.

"Whatever it's not like you won’t be dragging Maria's ass out of here the first chance you get." Max yells back.

"Well yeah, but at least I have the sense to leave before I maul her. You too are practically doing it right there." He says shaking his head.

Ok, he has a point. Too much more of this kind of behaviour, and well I think you can use you imagination. I just can’t help myself the boy is hot and lets face it he’s not wearing much. Any girl would go weak at the knees looking at him now just imagine his strong hands lovingly touching your body everywhere all at once. Ok, I think I should stop thinking about him now before I get myself in trouble.

"I think we should finish this later." I tell him. I feel his erection press against my thigh his lips are puffy and his hair is all messy, sticking up on all funny angles from when I had my hands running through it

"I think I need a swim." I tell him jumping up. What I really need is to get away from him before I jump his bones. "You going to come?"

"Give me a minute." he blushes turning onto his stomach. Aw, that’s too cute I feel for you Max, I really do.

Five minuets later I feel arms circle my waist and I catch myself sighing. "Everyone looks so happy." I say turning so I am straddling Max's lap

"Yeah they do." he says his eyes never leaving mine. I take a moment then to look over at my friends. Maria is currently sitting on Michael's shoulders playing gladiator with Sarah as she sits on Kyle’s shoulders. Tess and Stuart are sucking face sitting on a big bolder, I don't know how they get away with it, but I let it go this time. Alex is trying to convince Isabel to go for a swim. In which I am sure her answer is a big fat no.

"I'm sorry about today. I know I told you it would just be the two of us." Max says once again breaking my thought pattern.

"Don't worry about it." I reassure him. "This is nice. Everyone is so happy. We will have plenty of time to make up for it when everyone has gone." I tell him kissing his nose.

"Your right... Liz can I ask you something?" he asks. Wow, this sounds serious.

"Sure."

"Will you be my girlfriend?" he asks in a hurry.

"What? Did you even have to ask? You big dope of course I'll be your girlfriend. I don't just go around making out with just anybody you know?" I tell him giggling like a school girl.

"Well I just realized that there was no label on what we had so I thought I should ask." he says blushing." There’s no need to laugh at me." he says poking me in the side so I squirm a little

"Aw my poor baby." I say leaning down to capture his lips to mine once again. The kiss is brief just a peck, but as I told Max we have plenty of time for that later when we are in a more private setting.

At this point in time I couldn’t be happier. Max is my boyfriend, and I have the best group of friends anyone could ask for. I know that even though we are all going our
separate ways we will all still have a special bond. I may not know what the future holds yet or even where I’ll be in the next year, but I just know it's going to be all fine and dandy.

The end
