Rating: TEEN
Catagory: M/L, M/M, A/I of course
Discalimer: Yeah, i dont own crap besides the bucket of crap and my school books. You can have em if you want.
Summary: Liz, Alex and Maria go on a vacation that they will NEVER forget.--ok i suck at these but please give it a shot...please :puppydogeyes:
~*Chapter 1*~
"Lizzie can you come down here please?"
"Comming daddy!"
Yup that was me, perfect little Lizzie Parker. Does any and everything that her parents want her to, just to make them proud. I mean, its not that I dont love my parents, i do, its just sometimes i feel as though they treat my like a porclin doll, or one of their fine china's. Take school for instance, I get all A's and I only have two friends. The best of friends. Alex Whitman and Maria Deluca are the two best friends anyone can ever ask for. But everytime I even try to talk to some one else or even date, my dad tells me no. Always saying how they are just after my money and they dont really like me. Like Kyle Valenti, the only guy that even came close to a boyfriend to me, my dad actually threw him out of our house and told him to never come back. I was so embarresed.
See, my father is CEO of Parker Industries, never heard of it, man you must come from a secluded town like Roswell, New Mexico. The only reason why my father likes Maria and Alex is because they have been my friends since third grade, well that and the fact that both of there parents are already rich.
"Yes daddy?" See what did I tell you, perfect.
"Ms. Deluca just called and said she was treating Alex and Maria to a trip to Cancun for spring break."
Oh, this can't be happening. A week without my friends. They are leaving me to celebrate my 18 birthday alone with my parents, this is NOT happining.
" What they cant not be here for my birthday, thats not fair!!" See whining is what I do best, I usually get what i want when i whine...usually, and i know this ones a lost cause, there is no way in hell that they are gonna let me even leave this state, let alone this country.
"We know honey, see the reason why Ms. Deluca was calling was to invite you, she thought that it would be a good birthday present. Of course we said no, but Maria seemed to know we were gonna say no and she called your grandma Claudia. She knows that you have to be here to sign the papers on your birthday, but she insisted that we fax the papers to you and you can sign them in Mexico. So you better get upstairs and Pack, Maria and Alex will be here any minute, you flight leaves to Mexico tonight at 11:57."
Ok guys It may not be perfect, and i know its short but its gonna get better and more interesting I promise. If you see any mistakes, please let me know i didnt have time to check it, its my dads birthday today. But if you guys like it, i have the second part written already, and it should be out later on tonight so ya. Thanks guys.
Always...Liz

On with the next part!
Chapter 2
OK, so now I am completely freaking out...my parents actually agreed to send me to Mexico, with my friends for my 18 birthday, please don’t let this be a dream!
Now might be a good time to explain a few things to you so you’re not in the dark. These papers that my father wants me to sign is bank forms, so that he can transfer 51 million dollars into my account...not that the money means anything to me. It has to get transferred to my account because, well, I’m adopted.
My parents-or the Parkers- couldn't have kids, so they adopted me. Dad said that it made his business look more family like, great confidence booster if you ask me.
Me being me, I had to know who my real parents were, so I went behind there back and found out that my mother didn't live that far away from our San Francisco home. So, after a long talk with my parents, me Alex and Ria set off to Sacramento. It had to be the worst day in my entire life. Turns out that my mother is a bitch. The only good thing that came out of that visit was that I found out that I had a twin brother. Of course she didn’t know where he was or even what his name is, but I kinda figured that she wouldn’t with all the drugs that she’s been on. We like to think that my brother is Alex, although his birthday isn’t April 15 like mine, well that and he’s not adopted.
"Liz, lets go chica were gonna be late, and I so don’t want to miss our flight. Can you believe it, were going to Mexico. Ahhhh."
That’s my Maria, always jumpy, excited, and very loud.
"Maria my ears." Her backs to me grabbing clothes out of my closet and throwing them in my suitcase, but she can sense my smirk. Maria's the best friend that people would kill to have. Her long strawberry blond hair, big green eyes and a great body help her get men easily too. She is a polar opposite to me, long, dull, brown hair, brown eyes, and no body. She said that I look like a Spanish princess, yeah right. She has a great voice too; It's probly because her mother is singing sensation Amy Deluca.
"You want me to carry you stuff down to the car, Liz?"
"Yeah sure, when Maria's done throwing more clothes into my suitcase. Thanks Alex."
Alex is a great guy; the girl that gets him is going to be so lucky because Alex is the kinda guy that would spend as much time with you as possible, always making you smile, and making sure that you have a good time. He is a little on the geeky side though, I mean he loves computers. He has like three computers, why you need three is beyond me. But he can get them easily because his dad owns a computer company.
"Shall we ladies?"
Maria and I look at each other and giggle.
"We shall" Maria and I talk in unison all the time. We head to the car, arms linked together, on out way to Cancun Mexico.
~* Flight*~
"How long is this flight again?"
"Chica, just relax and try to get some sleep, because we are not gonna be sleeping a lot when we get there."
"All right, but I have to hand it to you Maria, I can't believe that you called Grandma Claudia just to get me to come."
"Well its not like we were going to go without you, Its your birthday on Tuesday...well tomorrow now, its 2:30 in the morning. So just go to sleep so we can party when we get there."
I close my eyes and try to sleep but it’s hard, every year around my birthday, I think about my brother. I always wonder what he’s doing, who he’s celebrating with. Those are the easy questions though. Then things like do we look alike, because not all twins are identical, does he even know he has a sister, has he ever met our so called mother? But the main question is will he like me if I ever met him? It has been almost 18 years but I would want us to be close. I just wish there was some way to let those records people at the adoption agency let me see where my brother went. There has to be some way to find him, because it hurts knowing that he’s out there somewhere, its like I have to missing pieces to my heart, one for my brother, and one for my soulmate.
All my life, I have felt empty. The emptiness that only my true love can fill. I know it sounds kinda corny, but its true. Then after I found out about my brother, the emptiness seemed to grow. I feel empty and very lonely. Alex and Ria are there but it’s not the same. They do help me a lot though. It’s funny because everyone imagines all the rich girls living this wonderful life, and maybe they do, but I don’t. My parents may seem like nice people, like they want what’s best for me, but its all an act. They could care less about me; they just want to make sure that I don’t ruin their perfect family image. That’s why the push for great grades, that’s why they watch every move that I make. They’re gone most of the time, and when they’re gone, they have the servants watch me. That’s why I’m perfect little Lizzie. Just to make them proud, why I don’t know, I guess I just don’t like to disappoint people.
Maybe its time for a change. I mean how would my parents know if I did something crazy, like drink. I mean its not like I would be doing something illegal, you can drink when your 18 in Mexico. Yeah, that’s what ill do, I’m going to be the new Lizzie. Well, ill turn back into old Lizzie on our flight back of course, but right now, for this trip, I think its time for a change. I mean that’s what vacations are for right, to let loose and have fun? I cant help but smile, I know Maria and Alex are gonna love hearing this, especially Maria. This may very well be a vacation of a lifetime.
Hope you guys liked it, please leave me some feedback :puppydogeyes: Please!
Next part will be there arrival in Cancun, and possibly a meeting of two people??? Maybe, we'll see.
Always...Liz

I changed the title just for you blessed You didn't sound rude, im actually greatful, thanks.
Chapter 3
This beach is so beautiful! Especially at night, the way they way that the moonlight just bounces off the water like that. I feel as though the moonlight is just on me, lighting my way through the pitch-black beach. I can’t see anything except the outlines of some trees. The funny thing is, I’m not scared. I mean a young girl walking alone on a beach at night, sounds just like one of those slasher movies, but instead I feel safe, really safe.
“Hey Liz!”
I look up from the sand to see who is calling my name, but I can’t see anything, I’m about to call back out but a movement in front of me stops my voice. I see an out line of a man, but I know its not Alex, his body isn’t as wonderful as this mans, he’s too skinny. This mans body is God like, with broad shoulder muscles, thick arms and what looks to be strong calves. He must be a runner. But I can’t see his face.
“Liz”
The way he sensual voice says my name is stirring something up inside me. How is it possible that someone can turn you on just by saying your name? I can almost see his face...just a few more steps.
“Liz”
Maria? I finally tear my eyes from his body to look for Maria. When I don’t see her, I look back to the man that has so easily caught my attention and my gaze lands on the most beautiful set of amber eyes that I have ever seen. They have to be from another planet, there is no way someone has these eyes. They have specs f gold in them. I have no idea how I can see his eyes that good, because I still cant see his face.
“LIZ!!”
Not now Maria.
“Come on Liz, wake up.”
Huh? I tear my gaze to look in the direction of the sound and.....
“Finally Liz, you were starting to scare me?”
“Huh? What, where am I?”
“Mexico Liz, remember. Come on, our flights over. Were the last ones off the plane.”
“ I know chica. I told you to get some sleep, but I didn’t mean for you to go into some sort of sleeping coma, it took us forever to get you up.”
“Oh my God, it was just a dream!” NO, man that would be just my luck. I see, well almost see, this perfect guy, and it turns out to be just a figment of my imagination! This sucks.
“What was a dream? What happened? Were where you at? Why couldn’t I wake you up? That’s it, I want the 411 on this dream of yours that had you smiling in your dreams. And I’m not just talking about your fake smile that you use on your parents, I mean a real Liz Parker smile!”
Wow Maria can say a lot in one breath.
“OK, I want the 411 on this dream as much as you do Maria, but right now, we really need to get off this plane, The flight attendant is giving us a dirty look.”
“Right, let’s go.” Anything to change the topic. I really don’t feel like sharing my dream with them right now, its personal! I know I’ll eventually tell them, its just, not right now. And there is no way that I will forget this dream anytime soon so, I’ll tell them later.
~* Across the Airport *~
“Max...Max...come on Max, quit playing around!”
What? Opening my eyes I see a pissed of Isabell and an amused Michael. It was just a dream? There I was, walking down the beach by myself at night. It was so nice out, and it was as if the moon was following me. While walking down the beach, I hear my name, and I see an outline of a woman with long hair, and a great body. She called out my name, he voice was so angelic, and the way she said it, stirred something up inside me. Tess could never do that, and her voice was whinny, so different from the angel that was walking towards me. But Isabell had to wake me up before I saw her face, but not before I seen her eyes. Her amazing chocolate color eyes that I knew I could get lost in.
“MAX!” Man, that’s the second time she tore me away from those eyes, I’m not one to get irritated or mean, but those eyes haunt me.
“God Isabell, I heard you the first time, shit!”
“Right Maxwell, lets go, were the last ones off the plane and I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get out there and see some half naked women!” That’s Michael Guerin, or as my sister calls him, Spike Boy, because of his hair sticken up in a thousand different directions.
“That’s great spike boy, that is enough day dreaming for one day, now we have to be at the hotel soon, so lets go.” And that’s my sister ladies and gentleman, the ice queen herself, Isabell Evans. Always in charge of any and everything, but this is nothing compared to how she is at Christmas time. The original Christmas Nazi in the flesh. This trip is for Michael, but of course, she had to take charge. She looked pointedly at me, grabbed her carry on and walked off the plane, her long blond hair swaying, giving off the vibe that says, “you really don’t want to mess with me!”
“Come on Maxwell lets go before she has us beheaded.”
Chuckling, I follow Michael off the plane. I can’t believe that were in Cancun Mexico. My parents are the best. Sending their three kids on a trip to another country. OK so Isabell and I are there only kids, but we consider Michael a part of the family. My parents even offered to adopt him, but he wanted to stay on his own. Michael’s Foster Father, Hank, use to beat him a lot so my father, being a lawyer, got him emancipated at 16. He’s been on his own for almost three years.
“We are going to have some fun Maxwell. I mean there are some gorgeous half naked women all around us.” Michael says, while I had the lady my luggage slip, she smiles at me.
“Here you are Mr. Evans, thank you for flying Southwest Airlines, and if you need anything, anything at all, here’s my card, don’t hesitate to call me.” She winks and walks away. I look at the card and throw it in the nearest garbage can when I don’t see her anymore.
“What’d ya do that for man, she was totally hitting on you, you coulda had her!”
“Michael, you know I have a girlfriend.”
“Who, Tess, man, your still with that gerbil, I though that you dumped her when you caught her spying on you in the grocery store? I don’t even know why you started seeing her man, I knew you wanted a girlfriend, but I didn’t know that you were desperate.”
“She seemed nice at the time, and I have been with her for over a year. She wasn’t always this crazy. She was cool till she decided to go all stalker on me. I don’t know I guess I’m just scared to be alone.”
“You guys talking about the gerbil? God, come on Max, were on vacation. Is she still trying to call you?” Can you tell that my sister and Best friend don’t like my girlfriend? Now if that doesn’t tell you something than I don’t know what will.
“I don’t know, I turned my phone off after the 100th call. Besides, I don’t think your allowed cell phones on the plane. I’m just glad that we didn’t tell her what hotel we were staying at.”
“Yeah, but don’t think that she won’t find out. I bet she’ll even find her way here, oh I hope not. Are you going to break up with her so we can have some real fun and get some chicks?”
“What! You finally gonna break up with her. Maybe this really is going to be the vacation of a lifetime.” It’s funny how Isabell can go from mean to happy in like 2 seconds flat, I haven’t seen anyone else do that.
“Well, yeah I guess I am. It’s just that it’s not fair to her, because I know that she’s not the one, she doesn’t have all my attention.”
“Come on Max, not the whole soulmate thing again, we already know the story by heart and if we don’t get going were not gonna make it to the hotel on time.”
“I know it’s just....”
“We know” She did not just interrupt the soulmate talk, oh hell no! “You can’t be with someone that you know isn’t your soulmate. You never felt your heart jump when you’re near her, Your heart isn’t telling you that she’s the one, yada yada yada. We know, now can we please get going?”
“Wow Isabell you sounded just like him.”
I throw a glare at a chuckling Michael and look at Isabell.
“Thanks for the support Isabell! Its good to know that you care.”
“Max, look, I didn’t mean to sound like a total bitch its just, I have heard it so many times. I know how you feel about it and I shouldn’t have been so rude. This is suppose to be a vacation Max, were suppose to be having fun, not worrying about the gerbil or anything else, OK?”
“Yeah sure. Lets go.”
She smiles the Isabell smile that has the men falling out of their seats, and we head off to the hotel. This is going to be some vacation.
Hope you like it!! next part soon. FB.....please :puppydogeyes:

And now on with the show..um..I mean story
Chapter 4
“Did you see that sunrise? It was so awesome!”
“I know Alex, it was so beautiful. Man, is it me or does this hotel seem hella far away. Hey buddy, you’re taking us to the Hilton right?”
“Yes ma’am, were almost there.”
“Calm down Maria, its right there.” Man this girl is the most impatient person I have ever met, even worse than the ones at my father’s office.
“So I hear that your mom got us the presidential suite.” I swear you can hear the sarcasim in my voice. It’s not that I mind its just that whenever I actually get to go out it always has to be top notch. That’s why I’m not surprised that the kids at school think that I’m a snob. Plus, I’m on vacation, and I know that it will only reminds me of my parents.
“Yeah, Mr. Parker’s orders. He told Grandma Claudia that the only way that you can go is if you’re ‘protected’ in a suite. I mean he swears that if we stay in a regular hotel room something would happen. I guess it’s not too bad though, I mean we all get our own rooms. Not to mention the master room has a bathroom and a balcony...and before you say anything Liz, you get it because it’s your birthday for one, and also because we know how much you like balconys, right Alex!”
“Yeah, yeah. You better be happy Parker, I wanted that room really bad.”
“Oh Alex, stop complaining. You know you’re not really mad.”
“Yeah I know I just wanted to annoy Liz!”
“Yeah but you didn’t annoy me, you annoyed Maria.”
“Are you mad Liz?” Leave it to Maria to bring it back up.
“Yeah, I’ll be fine. Come on lets go check out the hot guys off our balcony!”
“Who are you, and what have to done with my Liz?”
“I’m right here, Maria, I just want to have fun on my vacation.”
“And fun we will have. Come ladies; lets go, before Liz realizes what she just said.
*~*~*~ Lobby 5 minutes later *~*~*~
“H..here are your k..k.keys to the presidential s.sssuite Ms. Evans. I...I...I hope that you enjoy your stay here at the Hilton hotel. If you need anything just ring the f.f.f.front desk and ask for Jesse. I’ll be glad to help y.y.yyou.”
“Well, Anthony, that’s sweet of you, but I’m sure that we will be fine.”
“I...um..di...can I take your bags t.t..t.to your room for y.y..you?”
Is this guy for real? I mean come on at least wait till she gets away from her friends. Especially when those friends are guys who are very overprotective of her. I mean does he not see us standing here or something? And why can’t this guy talk without stuttering?
“Yeah, thanks junior that’d be great. Here ya are, now bye!”
I don’t think I have ever seen anyone look so scared and pissed at the same time. But I guess that Michael can do that to people.
“ God Michael, he was just being nice, something that you should learn. Do you two always have to scare off any guy that talks to me?”
“UM...what do you mean guys, I didn’t even say anything,”
Not that either of them were listening to me, I mean when those to fight, an alien could be standing next to them and neither of them would notice.
“Isabell that guy was like 15, I’m surprised that he’s even allowed to work here, isn’t child labor or something?”
“So what, its not like I was making out with him, he was just talking to me. If you guys are gonna act like this now, what’s going to happen when I’m on the beach?” Again with the you guys. It’s not like I don’t care about my sister, because I do, its just the last time I stood up for her from her ex-boyfriend, she quit talking to me for a month. She stalks off without waiting for an answer. She likes to have the last word.
“We shoulda gone to Alaska.”
“I heard that Max!” That girl has ears! And what did I tell you, she has to have the last word.
“Holy shit Maxwell, check out this room! We each get our own room and everything, look there’s even a kitchen, it’s like a little condo. How the hell did you get your parents to get this expensive room?”
“I don’t know man, I think one of their friends in another law firm got it for us. He wants dad to be partner in his law firm, but he’s happy with his own company.”
“Yeah, dad called in the favor just for you spike boy!”
“They didn’t have to do that, this is....wow!”
“Hey Anthony, are there any famous people here?”
“Umm...n..n..no just some r..r..rich kids and an e..elderly couple. T..t.the Smiths, I think, b...but they’re leaving s...soon.”
“Oh, OK thank you Anthony. Bye”
“S..sure, bye.”
“See ya” Michael is so mean. He didn’t have to scare the poor guy, I mean Isabell hates younger men, she’s just being nice to him.
“Michael do you have to be so rude.” Uh-oh, she’s mad again. At least she didn’t say you guys this time.
“Yeah, that’s nice princess, but Id like to find out more about these teenagers that are staying on this floor. I mean are they hot?”
“Yeah Michael, like they’ll give you the time of day. They’re probably just some stuck-up rich snobs that don’t care about anyone but themselves.”
“You know Isabell, you of all people should know what if feels like to be judged by your looks are the things you own.” Ouch, that was harsh.
“Michael!”
“No don’t stick up for him Max.” She ran into a room. I guess that’s going to be her room for our trip.
“Man I have a big mouth. I really have to control what I say!”
“Maybe that’s why you go through so many girlfriends so fast.”
“Yeah well who says I want a girlfriend right now anyways. Look I’m going to talk to Isabell.”
“Yeah” I walk over to a door and open it. I guess this ones mine. I throw my stuff down on the floor; I am way too tired to put it way right now. Looks like there little fight worked in my favor. I got the master room, with a bathroom and a balcony. Stepping outside, I look at the rapidly filling beach and the water. Hearing some noise, I turn my head to see a blond girl laughing. She is so much prettier than Tess is. Hell a lot of people are. I really need to call her. The blond leaves and I see the back of a brunette. She’s leaning over the side of the balcony. It feels as though I know her. I can barely see her face, but she looks beautiful, Especially in those short white shorts and the light pink tank top. I’ve always liked brunettes. Looking at her, I can’t help but notice her body looks a lot like my dreamgirls. I can’t believe I’m thinking this. It was just a dream.
“I need to lie down.”
*~*~*~
“OH look at that one. He’s cute.”
“Maria, you thought the guy working the front desk was cute. He must have been about 15.”
“I did not say he was cute, I just thought he was sweet.”
“Right, that’s why you pinched his butt when he left.” Maria starts to laugh and I just look at her like she’s crazy. That wasn’t that funny.
“Yeah, I think that someones tired.”
“Yeah I’m going to bed now. I will be in your room at exactly 3 o’clock, no later. That gives us about 5 hours sleep. See ya later chica.”
“Night Ria.”
I lean over the edge and look out at the ocean. It’s beautiful. I can’t help but think about my dream guy. I mean, was it just my imagination, or was it real. I wish I knew. I hear someone mumble and I swear it sounded just like him. I look up and see a man that just walked through the balcony doors. It couldn’t be...could it? Man I must really be losing my mind. I need to get some sleep. It’s going to be a long day!

*Chapter 5*
“Come on Liz, wake up, we have to get ready. Lets go.”
“OK just quit jumping on my bed, I’m up.”
“Your lucky, I was just about to pour this bucket of cold water all over you.”
“Alex, I’m gonna give you two seconds to put that bucket of water down, or I’m gonna kick your ass.”
“Not something to tell the person that has the power!”
“You wouldn’t dare risk your life like that!”
“Ya man, I’m with Liz, you wouldn’t do that.” She comes and stands by me. I smile at Alex, rubbing in my victory.
“You think I’m scared of you two girls?”
“You should be” Go Maria! Take that Alex. Oooh, I sooo don’t like that smile he just gave us.
“OK, yeah your right.” He turns to walk away. I smile a Maria, proud that we made him give up. Before we have time to react, the cold bucket of water is dumped right over our heads.
“AHHH” Hey, I’m half asleep, it’s all I could think of at the moment, that water was cold!
“Alex, I swear, I’m gonna give you a two second head start, then you better run like the wind cuz we’re gonna kick your ass!” Now that’s what I should have said, but hey as long as it got said right? Alex takes off like a jett out of my room and we chase after him. We tackel him to the ground and start to tickel him until we see tears start to form in his eyes.
“Say it Alex!”
“I can’t, can’t breath, haha get off me and I will!”
“No way computer boy, say it!”
“OK, OK Liz and Maria are the best and I love Justin Timberlake, he is so fine!” We get off him laughing as hard as he was. It’s not that We actually like Justin Timberlake, well hes not that bad for a pop artist, but the boy is hot, I mean even the worlds most anti-pop person has to admit, that boy has a great body! That and its funny as hell to hear him say it. That’s what he gets for being a jerk!
About two hours later, we’re on the beach, getting our much needed tans. I must say there are some mighty fine men here!
“Oh my Buddah Liz check out that fine guy over there. He is totally hot!” Ever since Kyle became a buddhist, we all started to talk like him. It’s not that we hang out with him alot, its just we find the saying ‘Oh my buddah’ to be hilarious!
“Come on Ria, his girlfriend is standing right next to him.”
“Girlfriend, no way Liz. That girl looks too...I don’t know, pretty for him.”
“Pretty, no way, she’s georgous!”
“Gerogous? Alex, wow, is that you. I dont think I’ve ever heard you call someone other that Liz or myself beautiful. Alex...hey ALEX...Hello earth to Alex anybody home?” She taps his head and he jerks his head toward her.
“Huh? Oh sorry what were you saying?”
“She was saying whipe that drool off your face, stick you toung back in your mouth and get a clue! Plus she’s giving off this Pam Troy vibe and you know that that means trouble! Plus look at her, she’s very pretty, she has to have a boyfriend.”
“The way she’s checking out all the guys doubtful. That means that hot stuff there isn’t with her!”
“Vibe Liz? You’re starting to sound like Maria!”
“Well she’s shoved enough vials under my nose for me to inhale all those fumes, I’m not surprised!”
“Hey those vials help you relax when things get stressful!”
“No, they add to it by giving you a headache!”
“Hey, shut up Alex!”
“Oh my Buddah, shes headed this way!” Huh? Why did he just let Maria tell him to shut up. I follow his gaze. Oh, now I know, that pretty girl his walking this way.
“Yeah, and that spikey headed one is walking with her!” Is it just me or does he seem a little sad about that?
“Oh now is my chance. Watch me make my move!”
“Oh God, Maria, no! Your gonna make yourself look stupid, you tend to do that.”
“Liz, I do not!”
“Umm...Maria, yeah you do!”
“Thanks a lot Alex! Watch and learn.” She walks right up to him, and to my amazement the pretty blond doesn’t seem pissed, just interested in what Maria had to say.
“Hi, my names Maria...Maria Deluca. And you are?”
“Someone that wants to relax on the beach, excuse me.” He goes to walk by her but the blond pulls him back and hits him on the back of the head.
“Manors Michael, manors! Could you be more rude? His name is Michael Guerin, and I’m Isabell Evans. Its nice to meet you Maria Deluca. My brother Max is around here somewhere.”
“Well this,” she pulls Alex up off the beach by his shirt to stand up next to her, “is Alex Whitman, and that one over there is my other best friend Liz Parker. You know Michael Guerin, you and Liz have the same color eyes, that’s weird, I have never seen anyone with the same color eyes as Liz.”
“Maria!” Could I be more embarresed. I swear this girl wants to find my brother more than I do. Like were really going to find my brother on the beach in Mexico!
“You have to excuse my friend. She likes to talk a lot and make herslef look stupid!” I said that last part looking directly at her to prove mine and Alex’s previous point.
“Ya well what can I say? I’m a friendly person. Would you like to join us?”
“No”
“Sure” Wow they sound like us, talking at the same time and everything. Isabell glares at Michael and he mumbles what seems to be an agreement. She smiles, proud to make him stay. Since Maria was busy moving her towel to be near Michael’s towel, and Alex was busy drooling over Isabell, I decided to start a conversation with her.
“So, where are you guys from?” She looks at me and smiles.
“We’re from Roswell, New Mexico. Home of the Aliens. It was Max and my parents Idea to send us down here. It was a present for Michael’s birthday. He turns 18 tomorrow!” My heart stops in my chest and Maria stops what she’s doing and stares at me. Alex finally tears his eyes away from Isabell and stares at me to. I can’t help but jump to conclusions. This can’t be my brother. It can’t be that easy to find him! Michael looks up at us with a worried expression and finnaly speaks up.
“Are you guys OK? You all look like you’ve seen a ghost. What’s wrong?”
“Um...Michael I know that this is going sound weird coming from a stranger and I know that this is extreamly personal, and you don’t have to answer but...are you...well were you um...”
“What Liz is trying to say is were you adopted?” He looked a little shocked and turns to the water, watching the waves come in, then looks at the sand. It seemed like forever when he looked up at me.
“Um...yeah, why?” She totally ignores his question and continues to ask the question that has been weighing on my mind.
“Do you happen to know who your real parents are? Like Liz said, these are very personal questions and you don’t have to answer but you could make someone really happy.” She looks pointedly at me and everyone follows her gaze. I’m still wondering why the hell these people are still here, because if someone I never met came up to me out of the blue and started asking me these questions, I probly would have ran away crying. But then again, Michael is a boy and he looks like the type that doesnt cry in front of people or run away from a problem. When no one says anything, Isabell decides to talk.
“Why are you guys so curious?”
“Well see, I mean its probly not even true, there are a lot of people in the world ,its just i was adopted too. Me being me, i had to find out who my real parents were. I found my mother, and she was a total bitch, and that day was the worst day of my life, except that i found out that I have a twin brother. And we have been looking for him, and so Maria thinks that everyone that comes close to it has to be my brother. And since we have the same eyes...”
“And ears.”
“Maria, shhh please. Just for a minute. Thank you. Well she just assumes that it could be you. Your not the first person she interogated like that.” I seen a look pass through Michael and Isabell during my little speach, but i don’t know them that well to know what it meant. Isabell looks at me and gives me a small smile.
“Well, we never actually met his mom. When we found out that she was a loser we decided that it was best to just leaver her be. Me and Max didn’t want Michael to remember his mother being a loser so we never went. Her name was Jess, no um....”
“Beth. The last time we heard she lived with her boyfriend in some trailer park in Sacramento.”
“Oh my Buddah, t...that’s her..y..your my brother!”
“Michael, you found her, well, she found you but you’re together now.” At this point, even Michael has tears in his eyes, there goes his tough boy act. But the thing that is making me cry is that he was trying to find me too.
“See,” sniff “when we went to check about his mother we found out that he had a twin sister. He did everything to find you but they wouldn’t give out information about where you were or who you were adopted to.” Michael, my brother, walks over sits next to me and looks me in the eyes.
“We really do have to same eyes... and ears.” He turns to look at Maria and smiles at her. I thought i saw something there but he quickly looked back to me.
“I can’t believe it, my sister, here, on vacation in Mexico at the same time is me. Isabell, this is all thanks to you and your parents. I don’t know how I will ever thank you.”
“Don’t worry about it Michael, I’m just glad your happy.” Michael looks back at me and he gives me the biggest hug. I don’t think I have ever been this happy. I can’t stop crying. He pulls away aburptly and looks at me.
“I wanna know everything about you. What’s your favorite color what kind of ice cream you like, what type of music y...”
“Michael, slow down your gonna give the poor girl a heartattack! Ooh i have a great idea. How bout we all go to dinner tonight. There is this great fancy resturant at our hotel. That way Max could meet the girl he’s been trying to find for years.” *A/N note the double meaning!* She looks at Alex.
“Alex, right?”
“Yeah”
“Well Alex, we’ll see you tonight? We are staying at the Hilton in the presidential suite. How about we meet at the diner at around 7:30? Is that OK or do you want to go somewhere closer to your hotel?” We look at eachother and laugh.
“No we’re staying in the presidential suite there too.”
“So your the rich kids? My sister is rich? Told you they were nice Iz.” She smiles and looks over at me.
“Well, I’m not rich yet, my parents are faxing the hotel my papers tonight. Isabell dinner sounds great! Were in room 1022. How about us girls get ready together and the guys can get ready in your room. Would that be OK with your brother?” I can’t help but be curious as to who here brother is, I don’t know why, but I am very curious as to who he is.
“That’s a great idea Liz, this is going to be so much fun. Can I do your hair? Ooh we better get going, were gonna be late! Guys Max said he had to do something in the room, so thats probly where he is.” We walk to our rooms and before we go into our rooms Alex grabs Isabell’s hand.
“Guys before we go, I have to ask Isabell something. Can I escort you to dinner?”
“What, like a date?”
“Yeah.” Please don’t break his heart Isabell!
“I would love that Alex. Thank you.” I can’t help but smile. Maybe Alex found someone too, now what about me?
“How bout is Michael, mind escorting a lady?”
“Um, I guess so.” I knew they would get together, now if they get married, Maria will really be my sister.
“Oh Liz you and my brother will be so cute together!”
“Isabell, thats my sister your setting up, what are you doing?” I cant help but smile at the sound of his voice. He is going to be a protective brother.
“Oh calm down, it’s just dinner.”
“A blind date, I’m not to sure, I’ve only been on a date once and that turned out really bad!”
“Oh relax chica, its not like your parents are going to find out. Plus, you really need to get laid!”
“LAID! What I don’t think so!”
“Oh shut up Michael, the girl can make up her own mind. Not that I really wanna picture my brother getting laid. Ew!”
“ISABELL!”
“Michael!” I can tell that me and Isabell are going to get along great. But I don’t know why they are talking about getting laid, I don’t even know the guy. Then why am I getting excited? Maybe this blind date won’t be too bad.
“OK guys tick tock, time is going, I don’t want to be late. Let me go grab my dress, and I will meet you in your room.”
“OK Alex must be excited, he already has his stuff! Come on Liz, let’s go get ready.” As we all head to our rooms, I’m a little excited. I feel all giddy.
***** Max’s Room *****
“Tess, this is not that difficult to understand!” I have been on this phone for the last 45 minutes, 45 whole minutes, someone, please help! There is only so much one person can take. I would like to be with Iz and Michael right now.
“OK look, Tess, I am going to say this one more time and then I am going to hang up.” I hear the main door to the room open and close. I don’t look up from the couch, I know that its Michael and Izzy.
“But Maaaaaaax.” See, whiney.
“Don’t but Max me, Listen , It’s over OK. I don’t feel like I love you, and this relationship is going no where fast. We both just need to see other people.”
“That’s it, you slept with someone down there didn’t you? I’ve been trying to get into your pants for an entire year, and your down there for 5 minutes and you already fucked the first tramp you see!” I knew she was with me for one reason, the least she could do was deny it. It’s kind of funny how she calls other people a tramp when she’s one herself.
“I’m not with anyone Tess, not even you!”
“This isn’t over Max, not by a long shot, you hear me Max!”
“Yeah, tell it to the dial tone!” I slam down the phone. I really didn’t want to be mean, but man that girl can get on your last nerve. I have no idea why I put up with it for so long. I put my head in my hands and sigh, it’s been a long day!
“Rough day?” I have never heard that voice before. I look up and see a tall scrawny boy standing near my kitchen, and Michael is just smiling.
“Max, this is Alex Whitman, Alex, this is Max Evans. So you finally broke up with Tess huh?
“Yeah”
“All I can say is its about time! Plus you have a date tonight.”
“You know Isabell was right, they would make a good couple.”
“Michael, not another blind date.”
“Shut up Maxwell. Her name is Liz Parker and we pick the ladies up at 7:30 sharp, and you will treat her like a lady.”
“OK not that I don’t treat woman nicely, just why do you care so much, you’ve never treated woman like they should be treated.”
“He will tonight.” Alex gives Michael a knowing glance and Michael ignores him.
“The beautiful girl that you happen to be taking out tonight is my sister, so treat her nicely.”
“What? You found her?”
“Well actually, Michael’s date and my best friend Maria did, she is a very nosey person and it turns out this time it worked for the best.”
“So what happened?” Wow this is great, we have been trying to find her for years!
“I will tell you all the details at dinner, because we really have to get ready. Alex here is Isabell’s date.”
“Oh really? So, Alex, what are your intentions for my sister? Do you like her or are you just trying to get into her pants?”
“MAXWELL EVANS!” You stop interrogating Alex right now!” I look up and see a very pissed off Isabell in her bedroom doorway.
“Sorry Iz.”
“Right. Well, I just came to get some stuff for dinner. I’m going to be getting ready over at her room. Be at her room at exactly 7:30, our dinner reservations are at 7:45 so you better be on time!” She picks up the suit case and heads for the door.
“Don’t forget gentleman, this is a black-tie affair, so dress nice, and take a shower Michael!” She leaves for Liz’s room.
“Well boys, we better get ready before your royal highness has a fit.” Michael turns and walks in the bathroom to take his shower. We go about getting ready and I can’t help getting excited. I know I should feel upset, after all I did just break up with my girlfriend, but I’m not, I can’t wait to meet Liz.
Hey guys!!! Wow, Thank you all for the wonderful FB. I would list all you guys and thank you personally but I am running extreamly late!!! Im leaving for Mexico tomoorow and I haven't even packed yet. Plus i have auditions tomorrow! I'll be gone for a week, so please keep bumping so i don't have to find it It would mean alot to me. Thanks a bunch again guys!
Chapter 6
“Come on Michael, let’s go! Isabell has called 5 times already!” I know that he is nervous about seeing Liz again, but its 7:25, we have to get going.
“I’ll be right out man” As he says that, the phone rings again, Isabell must be pissed. I pick up the phone and before she starts yelling I talk.
“I know Iz, we're coming, we will be right there I promise!”
“Max, dear, this is your mother! What do you mean you’ll be right there, you left Isabell alone somewhere, what’s that matter with you? She could get hurt or something!” Michael comes out of the bathroom.
“Lets go!”
“Hold on Mom. Michael, its my mom. Tell Liz that I will be right there and not to leave without me. We’ll meet you guys down there.”
“A few minutes Maxwell, not a minute later!”
“Michael, its my mom, I’ll be right down! I promise.”
“All right, lets go Alex.”
“Right Man.” They leave and I turn my attention to the phone.
“Sorry Mom.”
“Who’s Liz?”
“You aren’t going to believe this, Liz is Michael’s sister!”
“He found her, how can you be sure its her?”
“Well, I don’t know, I haven’t met her yet. But she is down here on vacation with her two friends Alex and I think her name is Maria, I haven’t met her either. Isabell thought that it would be a good idea to go out to dinner so that we could all get to know each other a little better. She set me up on a blind date with Liz, Michael was not too happy. He is already into protective brother mode mom, you should see it!”
“Well, I’m glad dear, Michael needs to have a stable family. He needs to get away from Hank. What’s this I hear about a blind date, aren’t you with that Tess girl?”
“No, I broke up with her.”
“Thank the Lord! I’m sorry honey, but I really did not like her. She constantly followed you around like a lost puppy! You deserve so much better than that!”
“Thanks mom. I’m happy now, I never knew how crazy she made me until I had this dream.” I love talking to my mother, I know that I can tell her anything, well almost anything, and she knows how to help.
“What dream dear?”
“Well, on the airplane ride here, I had this dream about a girl. I couldn’t see her face, but she talked to me and I could see her eyes. It’s like I have seen those eyes before, but they are different, more...beautiful. It’s weird.”
“Well, just don’t put everything on a dream honey, after all, it could just be a dream. But I’m glad that it help clear things up for you.”
“Yeah, I know. Well, I got to go, every one is waiting for us and I still have to go get Liz.”
“OK dear, Give everyone my love, and give Liz a kiss for me and tell her I said welcome to the family!”
“Will do mom.” You got to love my mom she is the best!
“I love you, mom.”
“Love you too dear, bye”
“Bye” I hang up the phone and head to Liz’s. Why did my heart start pounding? I have this feeling, a good feeling, like my life is about to change.
****
I am so not ready! I mean, it’s always Maria that is the last one ready! I hear someone knocking at our door and panic.
“Liz!!”
“You guys, I’m not ready!” Maria and Isabell come in and look at me.
“You look fine Liz!”
“How can you say that Isabell? I haven’t even finished my makeup!” She smiles at me.
“Why are you so nervous?”
“I have only been on one date, and that didn’t end well at all.”
“I don’t think that’s the only reason, chica.” I throw a glare at Maria, she knows me too well.
“I don’t know, I mean, I feel as though something big is going to happen, something life changing. OK now I just sound stupid!”
“No you don’t, don’t worry though. We just came in to tell you that Max is going to be a little late, and to wait for him.” My eyes widen and I look at Isabell.
“Oh god, He’s not coming!” They laugh at me and I get mad.
“You guys this isn’t funny!”
“Yes it is, you should see your face! Calm down He’s coming, besides, Michael will kill him if he doesn’t!”
“Plus, Max isn’t like that. He’s just talking to our mom. He’ll be here in a few and it gives you time to finish. We’ll see you down there OK.”
“Bye Chica.”
“Bye guys.” They leave and I finish a few minutes later, just as I hear a knock on the door.
“Come in!”
****
I look at the door wipe my sweaty hands on my suite pants and knock.
“Come in!” I freeze, that sounded just like my dream girl. It can’t be, I mean, my mom was right, it’s just a dream. I open the door and my heart is pounding so hard in my chest that I think they can hear it a mile away.
“Hello?” I haven’t seen her yet; maybe she’s not ready yet.
“Liz?”
****
“Hello?” I drop my eyeliner in the sink. That can’t be the voice from my dream, could it?
“Liz?” I must be really worked up. There is no way that I have a date with the man of my dreams.
“Um...I’ll be right out!” I check my reflection, suddenly glad that Isabell made me wear the light pink thin strap dress. It really does accent my skin and bring out my eyes. OK time to face the music. I open the bathroom door.
“Max?”
****
“Where are they?” I can’t help but scream, wondering what is taking them so long.
“Calm down Michael, it’s only been what, like 5 minutes, they’ll be right out. Liz wasn’t ready yet.” I turn to look at Maria. She really was beautiful. That emerald green dress she has on brings out her eyes.
“Have I told you that you look beautiful tonight?” Wow, did that just come out of my mouth?
“Well, spaceboy, that’s something I never expected to come out of your mouth, I thought you always hide your feelings.”
“Can’t you just take a compliment and be happy with it? Why do you have to make such a big deal out of it?” Uh-oh, she looks mad.
“God Michael, I was only saying that you seem like that type of person that doesn’t give compliments to someone, especially a girl. Why is it that you have to make everything bigger than it is? I mean...” Before she got to finish, I kiss her. I couldn’t help it; she looks so cute when she gets angry.
“That was to shut you up.” I smile at her and she smiles back.
“ Just don’t think that’s going to work all the time.”
“Right, now what’s with the spaceboy thing?”
“I don’t know, you just seem to go into your own little Michael Land every now and then, so I figured you were out in space.”
“What am I going to do with you?”
****
“Wow Isabell, you look great in red.” I look down and smile, suddenly interested in the color of the carpet. How does he make butterflies in my stomach just by a simple statement?
“Thank you Alex.” We stare at eachother for a moment, not knowing what to say or do now. Thankfully, we are ready to be seated.
“Well, our seats are ready.” He looks at me confused, but its disappears fast.
“Huh, oh yeah. Um, where are Max and Liz?”
“I don’t know, they should be down in a minute, Max was talking to my mother and Liz wasn’t done getting ready so.”
“Wow, Maria was done before her?”
“Well, Liz was the last to take a shower so it took her the longest.”
“Oh” We take our seats, and wait for Liz and Max to show up to order anything.
****
“Max?” I stand up from the couch and turn towards the bathroom and look directly at an angel! That dress that accents her beautiful skin tone, that beautiful, long raven hair that is slightly curled at the end, flawless skin, and...Those eyes, it is her. Before I think I blurt out...
“You’re the girl from my dream!”
“You’re the guy from my dream!” I was so surprised at myself for saying that, that I barely registered that she said the same thing to me.
“Your dream?”
“Your dream? We need to stop talking at the same time!” I smile at her, showing that I was just breaking the ice and she smiles back. She has a beautiful smile too.
“Is they’re anything about you that isn’t beautiful?”
“I’m sure there’s plenty, want me to make a list?” She giggles a little and that lights up my whole face.
“So you had a dream about me, and I had a dream about you, do you think its destiny?” I look up at her, anticipating her answer.
“Well, I always say we make our own destines.” I smile, walk over and grab her hand and kiss it like the olden days.
“Well, it is a pleasure to meet you Liz, Max Evans.”
“Same to you.”
“So, shall we?” I giver her my arm, and she takes it.
“Sure, lets go.”
****
“It’s about time you two show up!” Michael gets up and walks over to me, giving me a hug.
“You look great, Princess.” I smile at the nickname Michael has given me. It makes me feel close to him.
“Thank you Mikey G.” He smiles at me then goes to sit down next to Maria. Alex gets up too, and gives me a hug.
“Yeah, you look great Liz.” I blush and look at everyone staring at me.
“What?”
“Oh nothing, we were just wondering why you haven’t stopped smiling or let go of my brothers hand since you walked down here?” I looked at our hands, not even knowing when we started, and reluctantly, we pull apart and sit down in the two empty spaces at the table.
“Maria, this is my brother Max, Max Maria.”
“Hey there loverboy.”
“Maria!” Could she be more embarrassing?
“Loverboy? What, are you guys together now? You hardly even know eachother!” Michael looks at us, waiting for an answer.
“OK lets leave them alone, they look embarrassed enough. Besides the waiters here to take our order.” I look at Alex and thank him with my eyes. He smiles, nods then turns to order.
Everyone fills Max in on what happen on the beach, and how we met, the only thing he said was ‘it was fate.’ Sometime during dinner, he grabbed my hand under the round table. At this point, I couldn’t remember when I have been happier. I have Max, the man of my dreams to my left, and my brother to my right. He’s next to one of my best friends in the whole world, and she is next to my other best friend. To his right is Isabell, who just might end up being another one of my best friends.
As I’m looking at them, I feel alive, and happy, glad that I have such great friends. After dinner, we all sit around a little longer talking and my gaze turns to Michael. I want to know more about him.
“So Michael, what’s your family like?” Michael and Max stop smiling and Isabell looks like she could burst into tears at any moment. Suddenly, I feel really bad for asking.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to ruin your night, you don’t have to tell me.” The table goes quiet and the only noise is the slight chatter of other people eating and the jazz band playing on stage.
“Don’t worry about it princess, lets dance and I’ll tell you al about it.” I smile and we get up to dance. As I’m walking away, I hear Alex asking Isabell and Maria saying something like she wanted to get to know her best friends potential husband. You have to love having a best friend like Maria.
My gaze leaves the table and I turn to Michael. He looks a little nervous so I decided to talk to him.
“Looks like you broke the ice at the table. Now we're all dancing!” He smiles at me.
“Yeah.” He looks sad, and now I’m not sure if I even want to know.
“Are you OK Michael? You don’t have to tell me anything.”
“I know, but I want to, you’re my sister. Plus, I don’t want you to feel bad for having a great life growing up.”
“Michael, my life growing up was far from perfect. My parents were never home, but they still had tabs on everything I did. My one and only date got thrown out of the house by my dad. The only friends I have are Alex and Maria because my dad says that everyone else will just be after our money, that they wouldn’t really like me. There is so much more, my life is far from perfect.”
“I guess I never really thought of it like that. Well, my foster father Hank is an alcholholic. They only people in town that know are Max, Isabell, the Evans’ and me, everyone else feels sorry for him because he lost his wife and now he has to raise a bad kid on his own. They only reason Max and Iz know is because they walked in on us fighting. They went home and told their parents but there is nothing they can do because of my reputation. I don’t go to school all the time, and I’m always out. The whole town thinks I’m a bad ass.” I feel tears start to well up in my eyes.
“How can he do that?” He smiles at me.
“Don’t worry princess, I’m hardly ever there. I’m always at the Evans’ house. Plus I will be 18 in about 2½ hours, well, we will be, and I’m going to find another apartment when I get back. I'm emancipated, but somehow, I end up back there; not being able to aford rent. I work two jobs now so I know I can make rent. Plus if I do need a little cash, I will always have a little help from Max and Iz.”
“And me. What you thought you could get rid of me? I don’t think so.” We laugh and I guess that was Max’s cue to come over.
“Mind if I cut in. Maria wants to dance with you and she is raising all kinds of hell.”
“Yeah, what else is new.” Michael mumbles and walks over to Maria. I turn and look at Max.
“Thank you Max.” He looks at me confused.
“For what?”
“For taking care of Michael through all that. I’m glad he had someone there.”
“Well, he’s my best friend.”
“No, I think you would do that for anyone, best friend or not. You have such a good heart.”
“How do you know that this isn’t just an act? I could really be some Alien king from another planet who cheats on his girlfriend with gerbils!”
“I don’t think so. The only way that you would ever cheat on your girlfriend is if you were like brainwashed or mind-warped or something.”
“Yeah, you’re right, I would never do that.” We smile and continue to dance. I can’t believe how great it feels in his arms. As we dance, I look into his eyes. They really do have specs of gold in them. I feel myself getting lost in his eyes. Its like I can see his soul, that’s how I knew that he is a great man, I can see it. We just sit there and stare at eachother until Maria turns my head to look at her.
“Ha, you are alive. Girl we have been calling you two for at least five minutes.” She looks over at Isabell. “See what did I tell you. They have that look into eachothers eyes, soulmate type thing going on.” Isabell looks at us then back at Maria.
“Yeah, so when should the wedding be?” Wedding?
“OK you guys, let’s go. Hey how about the girls stay in our apartment so we can talk” I look pointedly at Maria “and the guys stay at Max’s? Is that OK Alex, I don’t want you to be uncomfterble?”
“Yeah, it sounds like a good idea. Guys?”
“Yeah sure why the hell not?” We all start walking off; none of us seeing the pair of angry eyes that watch us walk back to our room.
So...how was it? Let me know
Always...Liz

Chapter 7
We are sitting around the living room, ice cream in hand, talking about our dates in our pajamas.
“So...What happened with you and my brother?” I look at Isabell, and have a huge smile on my face.
“OK, remember my dream Maria? The one on the plane.” She looks at me curious.
“Yeah why?” I ignore her question and continue.
“And how I told you that if I herd that voice, or seen those eyes, I would know that it was him.”
“Yeah, what are you getting at...your not saying that it was Max are you?” Maria asked, eyes wide.
“Yeah, I mean look at his eyes, they are exactly how I seen them in my dream, and I would remember that voice anywhere!”
“Wow, you had a dream about my brother! Do I even want to know what it was about?” I laugh and tell her about it.
“So you think that the man in your dreams is Max?”
“Yeah, and its weird, because he said that he had the same dream. We were talking about it on the way to dinner.”
“Yeah, I remember him saying something to Michael it.”
“So, you like Max? OK scratch that, stupid question!” We laugh at Isabell and I start to think of Max. The way his whole face lights up when he smiles, his contagious laugh, the sparkle in his eyes. How, when he looks at you, you feel like the only person in the room, and how he makes you feel special, just by the touch of his hand. Maria’s voice brings me out of my thoughts.
“Dang, I knew she liked him, but looking at her, she has it bad!” I smile at Maria’s words.
“Do you guys believe in love at first sight?” They look taken back by my question.
“Liz, you just met him, you can’t be in love with him already, can you?”
“It’s just, I’ve never felt this way before. I feel this pull to be with him. I know that I have only been on one date before him, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t liked my share of guys. I’ve been all over the world with my parents, met lots of people, but none of them have ever made me feel the way Max makes me feel. I feel as though I have known him all my life. All my worries just aren’t there when I’m with Max.”
“Yeah, and I know that he likes you a lot because I have never seen my brother smile so much. Has he told you about Tess Liz?” She looks at me like she just said the wrong thing.
“Yeah, he mentioned her a little. He said he went out with her for a while, but he didn’t really like her, he was just scared to be alone. Then she turned physco on him.” Isabell laughs.
“You could say that” Me and Isabell laugh but Maria stays quiet.
“Maria? What’s wrong?”
“Well, if he dated her because he didn’t want to be alone, how do you know that he isn’t doing the same to you?”
“Because, when Max looks at me, I can see it in his eyes. When we were dancing, I felt it in his touch.”
“Plus, my brother isn’t one to play games, he just didn’t want to hurt Tess. I don’t think my mom even liked her. And I can tell that he likes Liz a lot because I have seen him with Tess, and I have seen him with Liz, and he has never looked at Tess the way that he looks at you Liz.” I smile; maybe Max loves me too.
We stay up a little while longer talking about how much Maria likes Michael, and making sure that Isabell doesn’t plan on hurting Alex. At about 12:30 there was a knock on the door.
“Who could that be at 12:30 at night?” Maria gasps at my question as Isabell gets up to answer the door.
“What?”
“Happy birthday, Chica!” She squeals and gives me a big hug.
“Liz, it’s for you.” My heart pounds, is it Max? When I see a guy wearing a suit, my face falls, it wasn’t Max.
“Are you Elizabeth Parker?”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry to bother you so late, but when we get faxed important papers like this, its company policy to deliver them right away! I am James Marshall, and this here is Kathleen Topolsky, we have some papers for you to sign.”
“Oh right, the bank papers.”
“Right, we me and Ms. Topolsky are going to be your witnesses.”
“Sure. I have a question, um are my parents able to take anything out, or shut down the account?”
“UM...” he looks over the papers and looks at me, “No, it says here that the only one that can access this account is you.” I look at the papers, and sure enough, 51 million dollars. I sign the papers.
“Thank you Ms. Parker.” They smile and leave.
“So, now that you have that money in your account, what are you going to do with it?” I look at Isabell and think about it.
“Well, I told my parents that I wanted to buy a house so that Maria, Alex and I could live together, but the had a fit, and I already got a new car that I have only been able to drive once or twice.”
“You have a new car? What kind?”
“A 2003 dark green jeep Cherokee. I love that car, but my parents are so strict. I don’t know why they even bought it for me, they never let me use it.”
“Isabell, I swear, her parents are such snobs! You know that they are forcing her to go to Stanford, she wanted to go to Harvard, but since Mr. Parker went to Stanford, so does she. Not only that, she isn’t even taking classes on campus; he is having the teacher come to the house. I swear it’s like she’s on house arrest, but she’s never done anything!”
“Wow, that sucks. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be sorry, be glad that you have cool parents.” She gives a half smile and looks away. We spend a little more time talking then we fall asleep. I knew tomorrow was going to be a good day.
*~*~*~
I wake up to the sound of the phone ringing, glancing at the clock I notice that it is 7:30 in the morning. Whoever it is better be important.
“This better be someone important!” I say half asleep into the phone.
“Well, I’d like to think I am. You know, you sound very sexy when you first wake up.” I smile, glad to hear his voice.
“You are very important! Good morning Max.” How did I wake up so fast?
“Good morning beautiful. Be ready in an hour.”
“Where are we going?”
“You’ll see, it’s a surprise.”
“OK, I’ll see you in an Hour.” I go to hang up the phone, not needing to say bye, when I here his voice again.
“Oh, and Liz?”
“Yeah?”
“Happy birthday” I smile and he hangs up. He is so sweet. Now, what am I going to wear? I decide to go with my white sundress, my swim suite on under with some flip-flops. It’s hot even this early in the morning.
Max arrives at exactly 8:30 and I leave Isabell and Maria a note telling them that I am out with Max and I will be back a little later. Then we head back over to Max’s room so that I can tell Michael happy birthday. He was not happy, we’re both not morning people. As we head toward the elevator, I look at Max.
“OK, can you tell me where were going now?” we get on the elevator and press the button and we leave the 10th floor and head to the bottom. He smiles at me.
“Well, when I was looking at the hotel brochure, I noticed that they had a great breakfast buffet, and I wanted to take you to breakfast for your birthday.” I squeal like Maria and jump in his arms.
“Thank you, Max!” I turn my head to look at him, suddenly noticing how close our faces were. My heart starts pounding and I can’t think straight, before I know it, we our lips are touching in a heart-stopping kiss. His tong brushes against my lower lip, asking for entrance and I open my mouth, allowing him access. We stay like that until I hear a faint voice of a little boy.
“Mommy, look, they’re kissing like you and daddy do!” Then mom grabs his hand and starts to walk away embarrassed with her son. It was then that I notice that we are on the first floor, out of the elevator. I laugh.
“What.” I notice that it hasn’t even registered where we are.
“Um, Max, how did we get out of the elevator?” He looks around, finally noticing exactly where we are, and turns beat red.
“I have not idea.” I look at my watch, 9:05.
“Max, It’s 9:05!”
“So, we have and hour before the buffet ends, were fine.”
“Not that Max, we got on the elevator at 8:50!”
“Wow, where have we been for 15 minutes?” I laugh as realization dawned on him and we start walking toward the buffet. “I’ve never got so carried away that I lost track of time before, no wonder why I love you so much!” I stop walking and look at him, a faint smile on my lips.
“What did you say?” He looks at me with a confused look on his face, but it quickly disappears.
“What? That I love you.” He has known me no more that 24 hours, and he is already saying it like he has said it all his life. I pull him down for a kiss.
“I love you too.” He smiles his beautiful.
“You make me so happy Liz, I have never felt for anyone the way I feel for you. I want to whole world to know that I LOVE ELIZABETH PARKER!!” He screams the last part and I start to laugh.
“Max, you’re crazy!”
“Just crazy for you.” He kisses me again, but it’s short and sweet.
“What are we doing today?”
“Well, after I escort my beautiful girlfriend to breakfast, I was thinking that we could head to the beach for a while, go window shopping around town, go to dinner, then go dancing. How does that sound?”
“That sounds wonderful, but I have to tell you something Max.” He looks worried.
“What’s wrong?”
“See, my father doesn’t allow me to date.” I see relief pass through his eyes.
“Liz, your 18 now, I’m sure you can make that decision for yourself.”
“I know, but you don’t know my father, he is very strict with me.”
“Well, lets not worry about that right now, it’s your birthday, so lets have some fun, OK?” I smile, glad to have him in my life.
“OK, lets go!” He grabs my hand and we head off to the buffet.
*~*~*~
Never felt this way before? What was I, we were together for more than a year, and he’s never felt this way before? He has known her for what, a day, and he already said I love you? It took him six months to say it to me! That Elizabeth Parker is going to pay! I grab the phone and dial a familiar number.
“Get me Jeffery Parker’s personal number, NOW! ... I don’t care if it’s not listed, you find it and find it NOW! I’m sure he’s curious as to what his precious daughter is doing, or who she’s doing.” I shudder at the thought; Max will be mine again soon!
“Great, thanks Vicki, you’re a doll. Toddles.” I hang up the phone and smile; I’m going to enjoy this!
*~*~*
I am on cloud nine right now. I love spending so much time with Liz, just us. After we eat, we go to the beach and see everyone there, we hang out for a while, but, wanting to be by our self’s, we go to one of the flea markets, she wanted to get a present for her grandma Claudia. We head off to the Hard Rock to grab dinner then to the beach, to walk back to our hotel. It was nice, it was getting dark, and the beach was almost deserted, I guess getting ready to go to the clubs.
“It’s beautiful isn’t it?” I’m brought out of my haze by her angelic voice.
“Yes it is.” I reply, looking directly at her. She laughs and I can’t help but smile.
“Max, not me, I meant the beach, the ocean, the sunset!” She looks so cute when she talks animatedly.
“It is beautiful, but not as beautiful as you.” She looks into my eyes and moves in so close that out noses are barely touching.
“I bet that you tell all the girls that.”
“Well, you know, I am a ladies man.” Our faces still inches apart.
“Really? Well, then you don’t need me.” A smile spreads across her face, telling me she’s only kidding.
“I need you in more ways than one.” I move a little closer to kiss her and she moves a little back with a huge smile on her face.
“Yeah, in what ways?”
“I’m better at showing than telling.”
“Prove it.” My lips come crashing down on hers and we share a deep kiss, and then she pulls back.
“Well, as much as I liked that, we really have to get going, we need to get ready to go to the club.” I give her a quick kiss and grab her hand.
“Yeah, let’s go.”
*~*~*
We enter the club hand in hand. The music is playing and I can see all the slutty drunk girls staring at Max, how can they be drunk already, it’s only 11. I pull Max closer, showing that he’s is unavailable to them. He smiles at my possessiveness.
“Don’t worry Love, I’m all yours.” I kiss him firmly on the lips, letting it linger there.
“Hey, keep it PG. her people.” I look towards Michael and Maria, who are looking pretty close.
“I should say the same thing Maria.” She laughs and plants a big kiss on Michael’s lips, shocking the hell out of him.
“What was that for.” He asks Maria in his famous Michael tone.
“Don’t get all pissy spaceboy, just letting all these girls know your mine.”
“Right” He rolled his eyes to Maria, but when she turned away, a smile broke across his face. He has it bad. I walk up to him, giving him a hug and whisper in his ear.
“Don’t hurt her!”
“I don’t intend to.” He kisses me on the cheek, and Maria drags him off to the dance floor. After a while of dancing, I start to get a headache and I go to sit down. The pain increases and I grab my head.
“You OK?”
“Yeah, I just got a really bad headache all of a sudden.” Maria and Michael come to sit down with us.
“You OK chica?”
“Yeah, I’m fine. I think that I’m gonna head back, I don’t feel to well.” Max goes and grabs his jacket.
“Max, you don’t have to leave, you should stay and have fun, all I’m going to do is go to sleep.”
“ First of all, I am not letting you leave by your self, and second, there is no reason for me to stay.” I’m about to object when he interrupts me.
“No buts Liz, I’m going with you. Michael Maria, were leaving, Liz isn’t feeling well.”
“You OK princess?”
“I’m OK, I just have a headache and this music isn’t helping.” He kisses my cheek.
“Take care of her Maxwell.”
“Of course. Let Iz and Alex know that we left OK?”
“Sure. Bye.” We wave to Maria.
“Bye.”
*~*~*
We go to her room in their suite. She shuts the door and looks at me.
“Max, I’m sorry for ruining your night I...” placing a finger to her lips, she stops babbling nonsense.
“Liz, when I am with you, my night is never ruined.” She smiles.
“How are you feeling?”
“A lot better, I think that it was just the club and the loud music, I’m not use to music that loud.”
“Well, why don’t we watch a movie? You can pick it out.”
“Sure, what do you want to see?”
“It’s your birthday, you pick it, and I’ll watch it.”
“How about Maid in Manhattan?”
“Sure.” She jumps up and down, acting like Maria.
“Great, let me go change into my Pajamas, I’ll be right out.” She grabs her clothes and heads to the bathroom and I start the movie. After a few minutes, the bathroom door opens and my whole body stiffens. She looks at my questioningly.
“Max, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just don’t know how you expect me to watch a movie when your lying next to me in that!” She looks down at her short black drawstring pants and white tank top.
“I’m sorry, it’s just hot out and...”
“Liz, don’t worry, come on the movie is about to start.” We cuddle as the movie plays and I’m so caught up in how Liz’s body matches perfectly with mine, and having a million different sensations go through my mind that I didn’t notice the movie ends until she shuts off the TV. The only light in the room now is the moonlight shining in the room bouncing off her perfectly tanned skin. I kiss her gently on the lips and look deep into those beautiful eyes.
“You are so beautiful.” I see a tear slip down her face and I wipe it away with my thumb.
“Please don’t cry, I don’t like to see you cry.”
“These aren’t tears of sadness, their tears of joy. I’m just so glad that I have you in my life.”
“Me too baby, you’re my angel.” She pulls my ontop of her and we start to kiss. It doesn’t take her long to notice my arousal.
“Oh, god Liz, I’m sorry.”
“There is nothing to be sorry about Max.” I feel her hands rubbing down my shirt and they she pulls it over my head. My heart starts pounding even more. She reaches to pull her shirt over her head and my brain finally registers what is about to happen and I stop her. She looks hurt so I kiss her.
“Liz, I just don’t want you to do anything you are going to regret.”
“I could never regret anything with you Max.” We start to kiss again and she rakes her hands down my back, stopping at my ass. She pushes my ass closer to her burning heat and we both let out a frustrated moan.
“Oh god Liz.” She starts to move her wet core over my erection and I feel my control slipping.
“Liz, are you sure.” I managed to squeak the last part out.
“Yes please Max, I need you.” I start kissing her, moving from her lips to her neck, stopping at her shirt. She lifts it over her head without question and I see that she has no bra on.
“If I would have known that, we would have never made it through the movie.”
“I’ll keep that in mind,” I groan at the seductive look on her face and look down at her breasts, knowing how perfect they would fit in my hands. She moans and arcs her back into my hands. I take my time getting to know them. I take one in my mouth and she lets out a gasp.
“Mmmmax.” Her moans encourage me and I suck harder, then I take the other one in my mouth, giving it the same treatment.
“Max, please.”
“Please what love?”
“I need you to touch me Max.” I smile at the need in her voice, trying my best not to lose control.
“Where?” She takes my hand in her shorts and leads it to her now glistering curls.
“There.” I smile and gently play with her lower lips teasing her. When she moans in protest insert my middle finger in her caverns, letting her get use to it, slowly entering a second finger.
“Oh, god Max.” She moans and starts rotating her hips on my fingers. Knowing she was close, I take my thumb and start to massage her clit.
“Shit Max, oooooh.” She reaches her climax screaming my name. I take her in my arms and let her come down. She shifts and rubs against my erection and I hiss. Knowing what was wrong she starts to rub my straining cock through my jeans.
“Shit Liz. Oh god.” She immediately pulls back.
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
“You didn’t, it just feels so good.” She smiles and takes off my pants, leaving my in my boxers and her in her shorts. She puts her hand down my boxers and wraps her fingers around my cock, stoking it ever so gently, but getting bolder with each pump. Feeling the orgasm coming on, I quickly stop her.
“Liz, as much as I love the feel of your hands on me, if you don’t stop this is going to be over before it even gets started.” She smiles at me and pushes my boxers down, and she gasps.
“What’s wrong?”
“Are you sure it will fit?” I laugh at her concern.
“It’ll be fine.” She takes off her shorts and underwear and I stare at her for a few minutes.
“Liz you are so beautiful.” She smiles at me and kisses my lips while reaching down and guiding my erection to her wet core. I push in pause at her barrier.
“Are you sure?” She nods her head.
“Please Max, I need you inside me!” With that I push through and she cries out in pain.
“Shit, I’m so sorry Liz, I didn’t want to hurt you.” I wipe the tears from her eyes.
“Don’t worry Max, I’m fine. It was just a shock, it only hurts a little.” She starts to move, showing me she is OK, and we start a steady rhythm. Despite my pleasure, I need to make sure she is OK.
“Are you OK?” She nods and wraps her legs around my waste and we picked up our pace.
“Yes Max, harder please oh god!!” I feel my release coming closer so I reach down and rub her clit for the second time. We let go together, staring into eachothers eyes.
“Maaaaaxxxxxxx”
“Liiiiiiiizzzzzzz”
After, we lay tangled up in the sheets, her back to my front and I’m holding her like she is going to be taken away from me at any moment. I brush my fingers through her hair and pull her closer.
“Are you OK?” The last thing I want was for her to regret this. Sensing my doubt, she turns to face me.
“Max, I’m better then OK. Yeah it hurt a little, but once I realized what was going on, that you were inside of me I only felt the pleasure. I love you Max.” I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
“I love you to baby.” I kiss her gently and we hear Maria walk in the apartment. We fall asleep shortly after, not knowing what troubles lie ahead. OK good, bad, let me know.

Chapter 8
I feel someone move beside me, and I smile, it wasn't a dream. Max is really here with me. I watch him sleep and I imagine myself wakeing up to it every day. I don't want to wake him up, but the urge to kiss him was just to strong, he looks so cute when he sleeps. I kiss his lips gently and brush a piece of hair away from his eyes. His opens his eyes and smiles.
"I need to wake up to those kisses more often."
"Me too."
"How are you feeling?" I lay my head on his bare chest.
"I have never felt this happy before."
"Can I ask you something?" I lift my head up to see his serious face and get worried.
"Of course, whats wrong?"
"I may not know a lot, but why are you so worried about what your father thinks? I mean, your 18 now, don't be afraid to live the life you want."
"But the life I want isn't good enough. Not for him."
"Don't let him control your life though."
"He did bring me in off the streets. Max, I went from foster home to foster home, and then he came and took me into his home and made me apart of his family. I do have a good life, I go to a great school, I have a nice home and family, because of him."
"Thats great, I'm glad that he did that, I'm glad that he gave you a great life, but that doesn't mean that you have to let him control it." I start to cry, I have no idea why, but I start to cry.
"Can we please not talk about this right now." I go to stand up, but he pulls me back down and hugs me close.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry. I just hate you see you give up your dreams because there not good enough for him."
"I know." He kisses my forehead.
"Lets take a quick shower, then I have to get back to my room before Michael wakes up." He helps me wash my hair and body, and I help him. We get out and get dressed quickly, wanting to be there before Micheal woke up. I walk Max to his room while brushing my wet hair. We kiss for a minute and I head back to my room.
"I could have sworn I shut that door." I hear mild yelling in my room and I head in there.
"Alex, Maria whats going on, I heard yelling."
"I think we should be the ones asking you the questions young lady!" I freeze and turn around and face my parents.
"What are you two doing here?"
"Thats what we should be asking you! We get this phone call from a stranger telling us that you have been sleeping around, so we fly down here, just to prove that they were wrong. Imagine our surprise when we see a boy leaving your hotel room with both of you looking like you just got out of the shower." I tense under my fathers gaze.
"Liz?" I turn my gaze from my parents to my friends on the other side of the room.
"Not now Maria." She gives me a half smile and nods.
"Lets go, all of you, I will sends someone up to pack your stuff, were leaving."
"NOW? Dad that's not fair!"
"What, you being the slut of spring break is?"
"Mr. Parker, that was uncalled for, Liz is not..."
"Don't piss me off Alex." Alex backs down and smiles at me, apologizing with his eyes. My dad calls in some people I have never seen before. Some go to work on packing our stuff, while three personally escorted us to the awaiting limo. I went kicking and screaming all the way down.
Just before we get put in the limo, i see Isabell step onto their balcony.
"ISABELL, ISABELL HELP."
"Gary, get her in that limo, shes making a scene." Maria glares at him then kicks the guys putting me in the limo.
"ISABELL, THERE MAKING US LEAVE."
"LIZ, YOU GUYS HURRY, ITS LIZ." Yes, she herd me. Then I remember, after all that time that me and Max spent together, I never told him where I live.
"MAX, WERE HEADING T..." My father gets me in the car and were off. I crawl in Maria and Alexs lap and start to cry as we head for the airport. When we load on the plane, we sit as far away from Nacny and Jeff as possible. I lay across Maria and Alexs Legs, with my head in Marias lap.
"Don't worry chica, it's going to be ok."
"Maria, you don't understand. I never told Max or Micheal where we live. I can't loose my brother and the love of my life in one day. My father will never let me contact them."
"Don't worry, you have us, and I know for a fact that Micheal and Max won't give up on finding us. They might even know where to start looking, I might have said something to Micheal or Isabell. Plus, we know that they are in Roswell."
"Yeah, Alex, your right."
"What I want to know is, is who made that phone call." Maria nods her head at Alex
"Yeah I know, it must have been someone that works for your father, or that knows him."
"Don't let me find out who, I'll kill em."
"Hell yeah we will. OK chica, now you have to tell me, its killing me. So, you and Max you two get a little close?" I wipe the tears out of my eyes and my mind wonders back to last nigh.
"OH MY GOD" I break out of my haze and look at Maria. She realizes that she yelled and lowered her voice.
"You got laid didn't you. God Liz, I was only messing around, but then you got that far off look in your eyes. You two did the wild thing." I smile at her choice of words.
"We didn't do the wild thing Maria, we made love." Alex covers his ears.
"OK can we save this talk for when you two are alone, like, with out me here?"
"Yeah sure wussy boy, but I want all the details later." I roll my eyes at her. This is going to be a long flight.
***********
I just got done getting dressed and I go onto Max's balcony, I'm still pissed that he got this. It's so beautiful here.
"ISABELL, ISABELL HELP." what the? I look around trying to find out wehre its comming from. Then I see Liz getting pushed into a limo and I start to panic.
"ISABELL, THERE MAKING IS LEAVE." Oh God.
"LIZ, YOU GUYS HURRY, ITS LIZ." They run out onto the balcony.
"MAX, WERE HEADING T..." Heading where? We take off after them, I have never seen Micheal or Max this scared and pissed.
**********
I finally get to the lobby after what seemed like 10 minutes. Shes long gone.
"Liz" It comes out a wisper, i'm out of breath from running down 10 flights of stairs.
"Shit." I turn around to Micheal as he kicks the nearest garbage can.
"They won't tell us where they went. I bet they were paid off. You know where they live though right Maxwell?"
"no" I wisper and start back to the hotel to pack. This vacation is over. Just as I reach the elevator, I hear a familiar, but unwanted voice.
"Hi Maxie!"
"What the hell are you doing here Tess?" She looks at me a little shocked but covers it up quickly.
"Well, I decided to forgive you in person, you can't help it if that tramp throws herslef at you." I'm about to yell but Micheal's voice stops me.
" Don't you ever call my sister that again, do you understand me? The only person that is a tramp here is you Tess. Can't you see that he doesnt like you? Nobody likes you."
"Thats not true Micheal. He loves me, I know it. He only took your patetic sister to luch and dinner yesterday because he felt sorry for her."
"What, are you following me Tess. What the HELL is your problem? Get it through your head, I dont like you, I love Liz, I always will."
"Yeah well, you will never see your precious Liz again, I made sure of that."
"You called her father, you bitch." Before I know it, Isabell has Tess on the ground, beating the crap out of her, and Micheal is video taping it with the hand held camera he had around his neck. I pull her off and look at Tess. Two swollen eyes, a fat lip and scratches all up her arms and across her face. Go Izzy.
"Tess I think that you should leave, for your own safty." Micheal says chuckling, with the camera glued to his hand.
"Fine, lets go Maxie."
"Tess, I swear, talking to you is like talking to a fucking wall, he don't like you, now get lost!" She screams.
"Watch, you'll come crawling back to me."
"No I won't."
"Yeah, now by gerbil." I smile at Micheal. She screams again and walks away.
"Alright guys. Lets go pack and get home, we have to find them. It shouldn't take long, Mom and Dad will help."
"Alright Max, lets go." I smile at Isabell and we head up to our room to pack. As the elevatror door closes, Micheal is playing the fight over on the camera.
"You gotta love these things. Maybe I should send this to Americas Funniest Home Videos, I'm sure everone would love to see a gerbil get her ass kicked by queen Isabella." Isabell hits him on the back of the head but smiles.
"Yeah it felt good to kick the crap outta that girl, you have no idea how long I have wanted to do that."
"Yeah, just wait till I tell mom, she'll be so proud."Isabell laughs and we finish packing, we have a lot to do.
OK guys theres the part. I'll start the next one soon K.

Chapter 9
After we droped off Maria and Alex, we head home.
"Elizabeth, stop that crying, it's not like he loved you anyways." I glare at my mother, its the first time I heard her speak during the whole thing. We pull up our long driveway and I get out.
"What would you know about love?" She is about to answer me, but I run up to my room, locking myself in.
What am I going to do? I have to find a way to get a hold of them. Did they leave Mexico already? I have to find them. I see my bedroom phone and I run to it and pick it up to dial it.
"411, what city please?" Before I can answer, the phone is grabbed out of my hand. He unplugs it and hands it to my mother, who leaves with it.
"And just what do you think you are doing?" I don't answer, I just glare at my father, wondering how he got in, I know I locked that door.
"From now on, you are not useing the phone, and you are going to be homeschooled for the last month of school."
"WHAT?? Homeschooled, dad thats not fair! What about graduation?"
"You will be allwoed to go to graduation because all the press will be there, but other then that, you will finish school here is that understood?"
"That is so not fair, What about Maria and Alex?"
"This is not open for dicussion Elizabeth. You are to be homeschooled starting on Monday and thats final." With that he leaves me in my room, with nothing but tears to keep my company. There was a knock on my door, but I just ignored it. I heard whoever it was that knocked open my door, and I look up from my bed ready to yell, but stop short when I see Vinchenzo, my butler and friend. I run and throw my arms around him.
"Oh Vinney, what am I going to do?"
"Don't worry chile, old Vinney has a way." I look up at him confused and he brings the cordless phone from around his back. I smile brightly.
"You get one phone call and you have to make it quick, two minutes tops.
"OK." He steps out of my room, standing right by my door to keep a lookout. I makeup my mind on who im going to call and dial the memorized number.
"Deluca residence."
"May I speak to Maria Deluca please." I disguise my voice, just to be on the safe side.
"Maria speaking."
"Maria, thank God!!"
"LIZ, oh my God, I just called over there and Vinney said that you can't use the phone anymore."
"Thats not all they did to me. Listen, I can only talk for a minute. They're not letting me back in school, I'm going to be homeschooled for the rest of the year."
"WHAT, they can't do that!"
"MARIA, limited time remember!"
"Right sorry, continue."
"They are letting me go to graduation, and thats when our plane goes into action."
"What plan would that be?"
"We're going to Roswell, we leave after graduation."

"Max, you have to calm down." I stop fidgeting and look at my mother.
"Mom, you don't understand. Her father just took her away. He didn't even let her say goodbye."
"Max, you have only known this girl for, what, two days." I get up and start paceing the floor in front of my mother.
"I know its only been a couple of days, but I feel like I've known her all my life." I start thinking about her and smile. "The way her smile lights up a room, her eyes are just like Michaels, but so different. And mom, you should see her hair, its so long and soft, and it shines just like a diamond does when its hit by lights."
"But you don't even know where she lives."
"Don't try to fight him on the Liz thing mom, those two are soulmates, completely made for eachother. You can see it when they are together. Its rather discusting if you ask me." She smiles at me.
"Well, don't worry son, we are going to help you and Michael find them. Now Isabell, what is this that I hear about you hitting Tess?"
"Mom, she totally deserved it. She is the one who called and made lies to Liz's father to get her sent home, then she called her a slut. I may not have known Liz that long either, but Michaels family is my family, and she had no right doing that."
"But Isabell, I have told you not to fight." She smile up at Isabell. "You did kick her butt right?" I laugh for the first time since I have been home.
"Mom, you should have seen it, She had Tess on the ground, Tess didnt have a chance."
"Thats my girl, but don't ever do it again."
"Don't worry mom, I think we have seen the last of Tess."
"Hey Ms. E, I got the whole fight on tape, want to see it." I look at Michael, wondering when he came in.
"You taped it, Micheal!!" She swats him on his arm.
"So, if you brought your camera, you must have a picture of Liz. That will help us with our searh." I smile, at least I can watch her on video.
"Well....I didn't have the suitecase unpacked yet, I was going through it when you yelled to us Iz. That's the only shot I got, well, that and the view from our balcony." My face falls.
"Don't worry." I look at Isabell as she emptys a bag on the tabel. "I got alot of em." I look to see three rolls of film.
"Great, lets get those down to one hour photo!" I snatch the cameras up and head out the door.
"You would think he forgot what she looked like." I turn around and look at her.
"I can never forget what she looks like, her face is forever burned in my brain." Isabell rolls her eyes and smiles. We get in the car and head to drop off our film.
********
"Really!!! Wow OK." I smile and I hear someone comming down the hall.
"Shoot, I have to go, someones comming. Send Alex my love, and tell him the plan OK?"
"Sure will chica, see you later." I hang up the phone and throw it under my bed just in time.
"Dinner will be ready in 5 minutes. I expect you dressed and ready."
"I'm not hungry." Actually, I'm starving, but I don't want to eat with them. I'll sneak down later, or have Vinney snaek me something.
"You will be ready in 5 minutes for dinner and thats final." He slams my door. A few minutes later, Vinchenzo knocks on my door. I grab the phone from under my bed and give it to him.
"Thank you so much Vinney." I hug him tight them kiss him on the cheek.
"Did you get ahold of your boyfriend?"
"Well, I don't have his number to get a hold of him and getting it would have taken to long. I would have asked Maria to do it but I heard my father comming."
"Well, I will do my best to get it again."
"Thanks Vinney. You will never believe who I met!" He smiles at my excitement?
"You mean this new boyfriend of yours isn't the only reason that your smile goes all the way to your ears?"
"Nope, but he does have alot to do with it."
"OK so who is this mystery person?"
"My brother!" His jaw drops to the floor.
"What? You found him?"
"Well, More like Maria did, you know how nosey she can be." He smiles.
"That I do."
"His name is Micheal Guerin and he is so sweet. I just know that him and Maria will be together some day watch. And his best friend Max Evans, thats my boyfriend, and Isabell, Max's sister. She is so nice, I just know that we are going to be great friends and Alex has a big crush on her. Oh my goodness, I'm sounding like Maria!!" He laughs at me.
"Don't worry, shes not too bad." We laugh.
"Can you do me a favor Vinney?"
"Anything."
"I need to get ahold of grandma Claudia without my father noticing."
"Don't worry, I'll get right on it. But right now, you need to hurry up and change and head down to dinner. I don't want you to get into any more trouble." I smile, greatful to have Vinney here with me.
"OK, thanks again Vinney."
"Anytime. Now go." I hug him one last time before I get ready for dinner. My mind wondering just what Max is doing, hoping that Micheal isn't going crazy and missing a friend in Isabell.
"Don't worry, one more month, I'll see you guys soon!"
OK guys, I hope you like it, let me know.
Dee, was it good? Dont worry, I'm going to be putting M/M in here soon, they just all got to get back together first!

Chapter 10
2 weeks later
"Maxwell...MAXWELL GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!"
"Micheal Guerin watch your language!"
"Sorry Mrs. E." I laugh at Micheals face.
"What's up Micheal?"
"I found them!" My heart drops, he found Liz.
"WHAT, YOU DID? ISABELL, GET DOWN HERE QUICK, HE FOUND THEM!"
I hear her running down the stairs.
"What you did? Where? How?" I laugh at Isabell, she took the words right out of my mouth.
"Well, I called up Sheriff Hanson and he helped me out." I stop smiling and look at Micheal.
"Micheal, you hate Sheriff Hanson."
"I know I do, but this is my sister, I just found her and I'm not gonna lose her because of some prick she calls her father."
"And he couldn't let Maria go!" Isabell and I laugh and our mothers coment and Micheals face.
"Sorry Micheal. You just seemed to be talking alot about her and your sister the past two weeks, you just make it so obvious." My mom smiles at him.
"So what did you learn about Ma...I mean Liz?" Micheal glares at Isabell for her obvious coment.
"The question is what didn't I learn. I got where she lives, her cell phone and house number, her school record...which by the way is clean and she got all the brains when it comes to school."
"Did you call her?" I ask Micheal, eager to know how she is.
"Well, I called her cell phone, it was disconnected, and I called the house phone, her father said she isn't allowed to talk on the phone, the assho...i mean jerk." My mother gives Micheal a knowing look.
"So shes still in trouble, so why dont you call Maria, or Alex?" I ask curiously.
"Well, I practically had to beg Hanson for his help, because he likes me as much as I like him, so I only got all of Liz's information by stealing it. I wasn't allowed to know her school records or her address, only the phone numbers. I had to sneak a few glances and write it all down without him noticeing. Being a con in my younger days has its advantages." Micheal smiles.
"Well, where does she live?"
"San Fransico!"
*******************************
I hear my door open and I jump out of my bed and run to the now open door.
"Well...what happen?"
"I have never heard your grandmother so upset. She is going to call in an hour, just before dinner to talk to your parents." I squeal and throw my self into Vinneys arms.
"I am so glad you finally got a hold of her, you're the best." He smiles at me.
"Well, get ready for dinner and I will see you down there."
"Thank you Vinney, you dont know how much this means to me."
"I did it just so I can see you smile again, i haven't seen your smile in two weeks." I smile brightly at him.
"I'm going to be smiling alot more once I see Max again."
"Good." He gets up and leaves to help finish up dinner and I go and get ready. I have a feeling that this dinner is going to be the best one since I got back from Mexico.
*******************************************
"OK honey, its all set. You guys will leave friday after school and come back Sunday night."
"MOM, friday, that's two days away!"
"I know, but I'm not letting you guys miss school, your graduating in a week and a half, you dont need to be missing school." I sigh, defeted. If I can stand two weeks without her, I can make it two more days...I think.
"Thank you Mom, this means alot to us that you let us go all the way to San Fransico."
"Well, honey, I wasn't going to let you guys go, but this is Micheals chance to have a real family. He needs his sister...and I am tired of seeing you mope around the house, you need to get out." I smile at my mother, she is really the greatest.
"Do you know how great you are mom?"
"Yes but its always good to hear it!" I laugh and hug her close.
"Thank you mom, you really are the best." She kisses my cheek and heads to the kitchen to finish dinner.
****************************************
"Elizabeth, dinner!"
"I'm comming." I head down the stairs, just as the phone rings. I sit on the stairs out of view and listen.
"Mrs. Parker, can you get that, my hands are tied?" I smile Vinney is clever.
"OH goodness, Vinchenzo, I dont pay you to do nothing." I roll my eyes at my mother, she is such a...
"Hello, Parker residence." I cringe at my mothers fake voice.
"Claudia...h.hello, how are you?" I laugh at how my mother was caught off guard. They hardly ever talk.
"No Elizabeth isn't in trouble shes fine. Where did you hear that ridiculas acusation?" Please don't mention Vinney, please.
"I let her use the phone all the time, I dont controll her!" Please. By this time, my mothers voice has risen to talking very loud.
"Weekly phone calls, what weekly phone calls. She never mentiond this to me." Ah, yes, my weekly phone calls to my greandma Claudia. She and I are very close, so I call her once a week to update her on my life. And of course I never mentioned them to her, she would have put a stop to them. She hates it when im close to anyone. Hell, if being friends with Maria and Alex hadn't have made them look good, she would stop them from talking to me.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M OUT OF LINE, SHES MY CHILD." I wince at her loud voice.
"WELL, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE WAY I RAISE MY CHILD THEN DON'T CALL HERE AGAIN." I hear her slam the phone down and I jump up. Maybe I was wrong about this being the best dinner.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT, SHES MY GRANDMOTHER!"
"I JUST DID, NOW GO TO YOUR ROOM, YOU CAN EAT DINNER THERE."
"GOOD." I run up the stairs and throw myself on the bed and start to cry. I cry because my best friend and the only person in my family besides Micheal was just banned from ever calling here again. I cry because I never got to be close to my mother or father. but mostly I cry because The main person in my 'escape to Roswell' plan can't call here anymore, and I'm wondering if I will ever see Max, Micheal or Izzy ever again.
How did I get here. I haven't been able to talk to Alex since we droped him off from the airport, or Maria since I called her when I got home. I feel like I just lost everyone in one second, and now i feel totally lost.
TBC!!
So? Ya like, let me know, and I will do my best to put out more parts, as long as I have no more unexpected deaths!
Thanks so much for reading, and your FB is greatly appriciated guys!
