(ooc: Yay for POM!!!!

)

<center> Maria </center>

"Maria I don't want to... to break up with you. I never have... I just... I think we need to just cool things until this blows over. I couldn't live with myself if you got hurt because of me."

I shook my head in disgust. "Michael, do me a favor and shut up. I'm tired of hearing this excuse. I'm tired of being told what's best for me. I have no choice in this, and don't you realize how frustrating that is! You keep telling me what we should do, what could happen, how I should be to keep myself safe.... It's driving me crazy." He opened his mouth to say something, but I held up my hand to stop him.

"Listen, ok? I'm the kind of girl who likes to make her own decisions. No, scratch that; I'm the kind of girl that has to make her own decisions. It's probably because my mom has always told me to be my own person, and to have my own way and not let anyone get in the way of that. If you don't respect that, Michael, then I'll find someone who will."

I turned back to him, trying not to let the tears fall. "It would kill me, but it's something I would have to do. That's how important it is to me."

"Do you think it's safe to leave Michael alone with maria?? I don't think he'll be able to leave but what if he does?"
I sigh as I start up the engine.
"I really don't know Liz....but...I don't think Michael could leave Maria. She's our best shot. If we went, he would just go anyway out of spite"

~~~~~MICHAEL~~~~~
She shakes her head at me.
"Michael, do me a favor and shut up. I'm tired of hearing this excuse. I'm tired of being told what's best for me. I have no choice in this, and don't you realize how frustrating that is! You keep telling me what we should do, what could happen, how I should be to keep myself safe.... It's driving me crazy."
I open my mouth but she stops me.
"Listen, ok? I'm the kind of girl who likes to make her own decisions. No, scratch that; I'm the kind of girl that has to make her own decisions. It's probably because my mom has always told me to be my own person, and to have my own way and not let anyone get in the way of that. If you don't respect that, Michael, then I'll find someone who will."
I blink. I didn't expect that.
"It would kill me, but it's something I would have to do. That's how important it is to me."
I look into her eyes. She's so determined on this...
Could she really find someone else?
If she could...was that not best all round?
"Maybe you should do that" I say quietly before heading out of the room.
I can't hold her back anymore.
She deserves a good guy. Someone who can protect her by being around her...
I cant.
And its killing me.
Every step I take is like a bullet in my heart.
But theres nothing else I can do.
She deserves better than me.

ooc: Hey, after this, I was thinking that maybe Maria could get involved with another guy, and then he could turn out to be a skin. Just to give the RP a little action again.

<center> Maria </center>

"Maybe you should do that."

My mouth dropped open as shock pummeled through me. I stared at him for a few minute, my mind trying to comprehend his simple statement. This wasn't how it was supposed to be. Not at all.

"Wha- what?" I asked. I stared for a while longer, until it started to sink in. Then I sighed sadly. "All I wanted you to do was fight for me." I whispered, my heart breaking. "I guess I'm not important enough, right?"

I didn't let him answer, but instead turned and walked swiftly toward the exit. "Fine. You win. We're over. Whatever."

I walked out, getting lost in the crowded halls.

"All I wanted you to do was fight for me" she whispers. "I guess I'm not important enough, right?"
I watch her go, feeling my heart break.
I have to leave. I have to get out of here.
I run out of the room and out to the parking lot.
Time to save Maria from myself. Let her live a life she deserves.
One that doesn't include me.
I get on my motorbike and ride away from the school as fast I can.
I have no idea where Im going, and quiet frankly, I don't care.
I just need to be away from here. I need to save Maria.

That's cool...go with it

Liz:

When we pull up to his house I notice that no one is home..."Why don't we play some one on one??" I smirked at him and got out of the jeep.

I look at her.
"One on one?" I repeat, not sure exactly what she meant, but the images in my mind were...well...lets just say I wanted to make sure what she meant.

Liz:

I rolled my eyes and took his hand and pulled him till we were closer to the front door. "Well, I think we both know that I'm not talking about sports--" I winked at him before walking closer to him, "I'd say...we still have a good hour and a half before Isabel and Alex get out of school--not like this is the first place they'd be headed...but...I think you get where I'm getting with this. What do you say?" I stared at him and anxiously waited as I bit my bottom lip in curiousity at what was roaming through his mind. I could've easily listened, but where would be the fun in that??

She winks and walks closer to me.

I raise my eyebrows in surprise.
"What happened to my little innocent Liz?" I asked her as I played with her hair.
I then smile before lifting her off her feet and holding her in my arms.
I carry her inside.

<center> Maria </center>

I was still hurt and angry a couple of hours later at lunch. Who did that... that asshole think he was!? I had laid it all on the line for him - every damn thing - and he'd just walked away from me without a second glance!

"Are you ok?" A male voice behind me asked, and I realized that my foul thoughts had probably shown on my face. I turned turned jerkily, fully intent on snapping at whoever it was, but I stopped short when I noticed his handsome features and charming smile. He was looking at me with concern in his bright blue eyes. I softened slightly at the sight of him.

"I'm.... I don't know how I am," I admitted truthfully, something about the stranger causing me to want to spill my guts out. I turned back around and slumped onto a nearby bench. The boy stared at me hesitantly, and then sat down next to me. He was polite, making sure to keep a few inches between our bodies.

"You want to talk?" He asked, and I was tempted to smile at his shy voice. The temptation annoyed me; I was feeling pretty angry at the entire male population right then. Why would this guy be any different than Michael was, I thought in annoyance.

"Are you trying to get into my pants?" I asked in a clipped tone. The widening of his eyes was almost comical.

"No! Of course not. You just seem like you're upset. I wondered if I could help." He said quickly, looking genuinely surprised.

I studied him with narrowed eyes for a moment. He shifted uncomfortably under my gaze. "My boyfriend dumped me," I said finally. It wasn't exactly true, but it wasn't like I could tell him everything.

"That sucks," He said sympathetically after a moment. I merely grunted in response. Then he stood up and held out his hand. "Come on, I know a good place to go for food. It'll cheer you up."

I didn't know what made me take his hand. Maybe it was his shy smile, or his bright blue eyes, or the fact that I was hoping Michael was watching me somewhere with jealous eyes. In any case, I let him pull me off the bench.

"Let's go."

~~~~~MICHAEL~~~~~
I stopped my bike at a diner outside of town.
I went and sat down at one of the booths and did what I do best....think about Maria....
She means the world to me....and I..I cant let her go.
Two seconds later Im on my feet again, going to bike, turning around and heading back to school.
I race the engine....I need to see her now.
Eventually I pull thr bike into the parking lot.
I shouldnt have bothered.
I see Maria...being helped off a bench by a good looking guy.
I stare at her for two seconds before jumping back on my bike, reving it so loud that half the school looked at me and zoom away, heading for my apartment.
Ill collect a few things and leave. Thats the best thing to do. I knew she deserved someone else.
