~~~~~MAX~~~~~
I watch the screen half wanting her to say something and half of me not.
And then something happens....she changes her screen name.
'Unknown speck'
I blink. No she's not. She has Michael. She has all her friends. Im the one whos like that.
Maybe she's just trying to get at me. Maybe she's mad and is calling me an unknown speck.
Sounds about right.
I want to talk to her. That fact startles me...but its true. But I can't bring myself to. She's only going to shout at me.
So instead I change my name again.
My screen name is now "I know"

*Liz*

After seeing Maxwell screen name. I forcus myself to click on his screen name. I felt so scary and so nervous at the same time. I start typing. "I'm not bad at you. Or even blame you. I know why you hate me and I don't blame you for that. But know this truely, I'm am sorry whatever I cause, even if you don't believe me." I press the enter key.

I sat there looking at the screen.

~~~~~MAX~~~~~
I swallow hard as a box blinks on screen.
Liz.
"I'm not mad at you. Or even blame you. I know why you can't me and I don't blame you. But know this truely am sorry whatever I cause even if you don't believe me."
I look at the screen. I know she is. I just...don't know what it is she wants from me.
I sigh and slowly type back. "I know."
I send it and look at the screen. That was pathetic Max. Add something else.
I type again. "Liz, if your not mad at me, change your name. Your not unknown, as you have friends and Michael and family. And your not a speck, because...well... your not. I know the name fits me perfectly and I know it. So please change it."
I send it and swallow as I turn back to my screen name and change it to "Just Max". Seems appropriate. Its just me. No one to be worth bothering with.

"Once or twice," He answers relatively comfortably ,but it doesn't exactly reach his eyes. He honestly looks surprised that I mentioned the teen hangout spot. Yeah okay, so the name does imply quite a bit ,but we could just go there and talk. It has a truly spectacular view. Oh gosh, what if I gave him the wrong impression?!

I don't want him to think I'm some ho that goes up there all the time. Nor do I want him to assume I'm a prude ,because I haven't. Why is it always a double edged sword when your a chick? You can't be too slutty or too chaste. How do I show him I really like him and want to be with him without seeming too foreward? How do other girls' know how to balance it out? I so wish Tess was here.(Okay, so not really here here, but I know she'd have to best advice.)

"Why? Do you...um, want to go there?" he questions slowly and in all honestly I don't know what the correst answer is. Instead of agonizing over what I should or shouldn't say I just say to hell with it. I'm tired of worrying about it. I'll just be honest. That's always the best policy anyway right? "We could go. I've never been up there at night ,and I've heard that the view is gorgeous. We could just park and talk or whatever." So that didn't sound too moxy or like I was expecting something. I just don't want our date to end just yet.

*Liz*

"I know" he types and start types""Liz, if your not mad at me, change your name. Your not unknown, as you have friends and Michael and family. And your not a speck, because...well... your not. I know the name fits me perfectly and I know it. So please change it." then I see he change back to 'Just Max'

I looked at the screen and start typing, "Max you remember today how those jerk were harassing me. Well that is my life everyday. I have no real friends, I am serious ask anyone that think they may know me and they will say, 'who?' Max. I been this way as long as I can remember. I know have Michael and my family. But if haven't notice. I'm not to fund of my family right now and I don't want bother Michael. He just starting get back to our normal scehdule. But thank you. Don't worry I'm not going back to drugs" I enter sent

I start typing again, "I'm droping off your sweater tomorrow. You left it here months ago and I haven't gottin around to give it to you." I press enter again.

"We could go. I've never been up there at night ,and I've heard that the view is gorgeous. We could just park and talk or whatever." Maria says, and I have to concentrate to not let out a sigh of relief.

She just wants to talk? That I can do. But god, she could probably tell I was thinking something else. "Okay," I tell her, before turning down the road that'll lead us to lover's point.

It doesn't take long to get there, and when we do, I park over near a big tree, looking out on what has been known to be the best view from anywhere in Roswell.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" I ask, taking off my seatbelt so I can turn sideways in my seat a little, and to see her better.

[FaithfulAngel24]

*Maria*

"Okay," He replies with a look of relief. I can't stop the grin from forming across my face. Was he really as nervous as I was? Thank Goodness. Now I don't feel like such a freak. He turns onto the road that will lead us to our destination. We sit in an easy silence just enjoying each others comapny until we get there. Pulling up next to a big tree I look out over the ledge and I am amazing at it's beauty. Wow, they were exagerating about this place.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" He questions while taking off his seatbelt and turning in his seat so that we are facing one another. I mimic his actions and angle myself so that I can look up to those big brown eyes of his. "I want to talk about you." I admit feeling uncharacteristically bold. "I feel like you know everything about me. You healed me and saw things. Things no one knows ,but I don't know much about you. Besides the fact that your courageous, loving, and 'Not of this Earth'. I giggle despite myself.

"From what I've gathered you're very protective of your sister. You're quiet ,but when you do have something to say everyone listens. They respect you, and I can see an underlyimg strength in your eyes that no teenage boy should have. You're different. I like that." I reveal now feeling self conscious. I probably just freaked him out.

Michael

"I want to talk about you." Maria says, mirroring my actions as she sits sideways in the seat. Her eyes feel like they are seeing right through me, but I stare back at her with a smile on my face as she continues.

"I feel like you know everything about me. You healed me and saw things. Things no one knows, but I don't know much about you. Besides the fact that your courageous, loving, and 'Not of this Earth'." She's true about the not of this earth part, and yes, I did see stuff, but I'm not exactly sure about the courageous and loving stuff. Whatever. If she thinks it, I'll try to pretend it's true.

"From what I've gathered you're very protective of your sister. You're quiet ,but when you do have something to say everyone listens. They respect you, and I can see an underlyimg strength in your eyes that no teenage boy should have. You're different. I like that." She finishes, and when she's done, I try to absorb everything she just said.

"Yes, I'm 'not of this Earth'," I begin, grinning. "But I'm really just like every other teenage guy. Sure, I care about Liz, and I don't really talk that much, or at least I didn't until I met you, but that doesn't make me so different. I like to go out with friends, jam with Alex and the band, have fun..." I pause for a second, trying to think of what else I want to get out there. I feel like I can open up to Maria without worrying about what I say.

"But I constantly feel like I know nothing about myself, because I can't remember anything from the time I was found wandering in the desert with Liz and..." I cut off, unsure if I should tell her about Alex. He's her best friend, so I figure I'll leave it to him.

"And sometimes I really wonder what happened, where I'm from...you know, the usual stuff someone like E.T. wonders about. Except I can't 'phone home,' if you know what I mean." Smiling, I feel like a little bit of a weight's been lifted off my shoulders. Well, now she knows what I feel. At least most of it.

"And right now, I'm probably happier than I've been in a long time," I add, before going silent. Oh boy, I just talked her ear off. I can't remember the last time I talked this much. She's probably thinking, 'quiet? I guess not.'

*Maria*

"Yes, I'm 'not of this Earth'," He answers with a sweet smile. "But I'm really just like every other teenage guy. Sure, I care about Liz, and I don't really talk that much, or at least I didn't until I met you, but that doesn't make me so different. I like to go out with friends, jam with Alex and the band, have fun..." He pauses for a moment as if he's contemplating anything else I may want to know. I really appreciate him taking my question seriously. He wants me to know him. That's a good thing.

"But I constantly feel like I know nothing about myself, because I can't remember anything from the time I was found wandering in the desert with Liz and..." He trails off and I have the distinct feeling he was going to say something else ,but stopped himself. Hmmm. Well, if he wants me to know he'll tell me in his own time, and if not I trust him. Anything he's willing to share with me is enough.

"And sometimes I really wonder what happened, where I'm from...you know, the usual stuff someone like E.T. wonders about. Except I can't 'phone home,' if you know what I mean." He grins from ear to ear and I can see that he feels a lot better. I'm glad I could do that for him. Be there for him. I know he's got Liz and everything ,but he's always seemed so dettached as if he was trying to keep himeslf away from everyone. At least emotionally ,but when he's with me he opens up. That thrills me to no end.

"And right now, I'm probably happier than I've been in a long time," He concludes and then seems a tad sheepish about his little speech. "I'm glad." I reply while softly rubbing my thumb over the center of his palm. "A lot has changed over the past few days ,but I think it's all been for the better." I remark with a slight smile. "I've never felt safer or more at home then I do right now." I admit while tucking a stray hair behind my ear with my free hand.
