Eve It will be explained how her stepfather got custody of her later.
L-J-L 76 Max does know the signs of abuse. But without proff there isn't a lot he can do. Liz's father has never been part of her life. As for her friends they don't know for sure what is going on. They only are guessing.
saori_1902 All Max can do is be a friend to Liz. He just met her!
Carolyn Liz is really scared. Max wants to help Liz but she won't let him for a bit yet. She knows her stepfather wants Serena and Maria, that is why she pushed them away.
roswell4life Liz will get help soon.
Part 3
Max walked into the library and searched for Liz. He almost thought that she hadn't shown up. But then he found her in the back corner away from the other students doing their homework. He could tell that she wasn't happy about waiting for him. He sat down across from her.
"Let's just get this over with." Said Liz
"Sure." Said Max
It took them an hour to complete the assignment. As they packed up their books Max very lightly touched Liz's arm. She pulled away and gave him an icy stare.
"Never touch me again. Are we clear?" Said Liz very coldly.
"Sorry I didn't mean anything."
Liz just grabbed her stuff and left. Max finished packing up his books and headed home. He walked into his house to find his mother was home.
"Hi mom." Said Max
"Oh hi honey. How was school?"
"OK. Mom, I met someone and they show some of the signs you have talked about in abused kids."
"What do you mean?"
"Ok it's this girl. From what a couple kids have said is that after her mom died a couple years ago she slowly pulled away. But then six months ago she really withdrew. She will only talk when she has no other choice."
"So it's just her and her dad?"
"Uh stepfather."
"Max don't get involved with her."
"Mom, I want to find out what is going on with her. Besides she is my lab partner in biology."
"What I mean is let's say her stepfather is hurting her. It will put you in danger if you try and find out what is going on."
"Mom, do you know something about this?"
"Max, you haven't even given me a name. Besides even if I did I couldn't tell you."
"OK. I have a lot of homework. I should get to work on it."
Max headed to his room to do his homework. Diane watched him go. She wished that she could tell him that she was looking into the Parker girl. But she couldn't. She had never liked leaving her with Richard Carter. He wasn't someone that had seemed stable.

Liz walked into the small apartment she lived in with her stepfather. She could see him in the recliner in front of the TV.
"You're late."
"Sorry."
"I told you to come home right after school."
"I had a paper to do with another student at school."
"You're lying! You were off with some boy like the little slut you are!"
"No!"
He grabbed her and punched her in her stomach. She fell to the floor and used her arms to try and protect her face as he started to kick her. The last thing she remembered before the darkness claimed her was someone breaking down the door.

Diane answered her cell when it rang.
"Hello?.... Yes I will be there right away."
Diane hung up.
"Max, tell your father and sister I got called in for a case."
"Sure mom. Is it bad?"
"You know I can't tell you anything."
"Right sorry."
Diane gave Max a kiss and ran out the door.
