“Thank you, Alex. I don’t know how I… we… earned such devotion from a great guy like you. I’m glad that you’ll be at my… our side.” Isabel says as we walk out.
I feel my face flush and am grateful that the darkness is hiding it. I didn't know what to say to her compliment. I know that I've been infatuated with Isabel for a couple of years now, I was dragged into the 'alien abyss' by Liz and Maria with my constant nagging. I never dreamed at the time that I would be leaving my life behind for my friends. Not just Maria and Liz, but for Isabel and Max. Michael still made me nervous at times and Kyle...well, he's always been out of my league. He's new to the group like Tess. I really didn't know either of them.
Looking around the parking lot I see Tess standing near Kyle across the way partially obscured by the shadows.
"There they are." I point out.
Max
Liz and I walk out hand in hand. She stops by Kyle's car and look back at the road that we used to get here. I know that she is thinking about Roswell. I was doing the same. The difference is that I knew that one day Isabel, Michael, and I would have to leave it. Though it was hard to leave our parents, I had already admitted to myself that it was necessary for our survival. But Liz... my heart went out to her. She had thought of leaving after graduating... her dreams of Harvard coming true, coming home to visit her parents as often as she could. Now, she couldn't go back. It was too late.
"We're going to be okay...aren't we...?"
I untangled our hands and moved so that I stood behind her before wrapping my arms around her, pulling her back against my front, encasing her body into my protective embrace. I continue looking in the direction that led home.
I don't want to lie to her because I don't know if we are going to be ok. I don't want to make promises that I may not be able to keep, but she needed comfort. We all needed assurance.
"I will do everything in my power to protect those I love." I say meaning ever word of it. I was willing to die in that white room by Pierce's hand in order to protect the others, especially Liz. How could I do anything else? I have always protected Isabel and Michael. Now my family has grown and have vowed my protection over them. Suddenly my shoulders felt heavy from the burden I've taken on, and hoping that I could keep my vow.
