Rating YTEEN

Setting: Graduation

Summary: Maria has to choose between Roswell and Michael.

A/N: This is my version of Graduation. It’s not Maria’s P.O.V, but it explains sometimes how she feels. The song I used for this fic is: “I love you “by Sarah Mclachlan.

---------------------


She sits on the bench, legs crossed. She keeps checking her watch. Shed definitely waiting for something or most likely, someone.

He asked her to meet there. He had to talk. You could tell something was on her mind because she kept biting her lower lip. Was she late and he was then already gone, or was she early and tried to think of what to say to him when he’ll be there?

She had to make a choice. It was a choice that would affect the rest of her life forever. The F.B.I was back. They were going to torture them if they found them. They had to leave, but she had a choice, unlike most of her friends.

She still didn’t know what she wanted. If she left, her mother would be devastated. She was the only family left for her. She would break her mother’s heart forever.

If she stayed, she would be all alone. Her friends would not be there anymore. The only one left would be her one of her best friends, who is bound forever underground, resting in peace: Alex. If only he could still be there…maybe he could have helped her a little bit.

Her mind drifted again to him, the love of her life. She had made the biggest mistake of her life by leaving him, she knew that now. Her world had completely changed when he first stepped in it and now it seemed like the world was cold without him by her side. He had finally opened up to her, and she still left him. He stayed for her, because she was his home. What a fool she was, not to stay with him.


Her thoughts were disturbed by the roar of an engine. She got up and saw a motorcycle coming her way and she instantly smiled, relieved. He was there.

“I have a smile
Stretched from ear to ear
To see you walking down the road”


The engine stopped near her but she didn’t flinch. She knew he would never hurt her. He took off his helmet and their eyes locked, her emerald green eyes with his chocolate brown ones.

“We meet at the lights
I stare for a while
The world around disappears

Just you and me
On this island of hope
A breath between us could be miles”

They don’t say anything for a while. They only stare at each other, as if to remember every inch of there face to remember. To remember what they might lose forever.

“I though you were going to leave before them…” she finally says after a while.

“I was going to…but I couldn’t leave like that...I just wanted…I dunno.” He replies, confused.

“You wanted to say good-bye?” she whispers softly.

He struggles to say something and she decides to let him,knowing how hard it couls be sometimes for him to say what he's feeling.

“I….I wanted to say that this thing has been crewed up from the beginning. You and me. Us. Just the whole long stupid story…” he finally said.

“Let me surround you
My sea to your shore
Let me be the calm you seek”

“But I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s meant so much to me. From the day, from the moment I kidnapped you and stole your car…I knew you were the girl for me. I never wanted anyone else.” He continued saying.

Tears welled up in her eyes by his words. Him that used to not be good at words was now doing a wonderful job at expressing what he thought and how he felt.

“Michael...” she whispered but he interrupted her.

“I still don’t Maria. Just...I… Wherever I’m going and whatever I’m doing, just know that I’ll always love you.” He finishes.

He then puts on his helmet and starts his bike.

“Oh and every time I'm close to you
There’s too much I can't say
And you just walk away”

“No. Michael wait! I…” she starts to say but it’s too late.

He leaves her there, alone.

“I love you…” she whispers.

“And I forgot
To tell you
I love you”


This wasn’t the end of them. She wouldn’t let it be this way. He had to go find him.



About 20 minutes later, she gets near the ruins of the pod chambers.

Liz told her it they would all be there when they left in case she decided to go with them.

She gets out of her car in a hurry, scared they were already gone.

She spots them talking to each other. She sees Kyle is there and she understands immediately that he’s going with them and she respects him. He made his own choice, like she was going to do hers.

She decides to wait for the right moment to get involved in the conversation, unseen yet by the others, she listened to what they were saying.

“They probably don’t know anything about you Kyle, you can still go back.” Liz says to him and Kyle shakes his head.

“Even if by some miracle they haven't put me together with the rest of you guys, there's still the little matter of my latent alien powers. Some day I'll be buzzing and crackling like tin foil in a microwave, and I'd just as soon be with my own kind when it happens.” Kyle answers.

“Does he really get to start referring to us as his 'own kind'? Hell just froze over!” Michael replied and everybody chuckles.

That’s when she decided to step in and announce her decision to the ones she loved.

“I’ve made my choice…and I choose home.” Maria announced to the group uncomfortably, shifting from one foot to another.

Everybody looked at her, and she noticed a pain for a brief second in his eyes that disappeared quickly. The others were clearly sad and had no intention of hiding it like him.

“I guess this is good-bye, future baby sister. “ Kyle said sadly, not hiding his sadness to loose the girl he already considered like a sister in his heart and who was probably going to be one soon because Jim wanted to propose to Amy.

Maria shook her head. They didn’t understand her choice correctly.

“I choose home. My home is wherever Michael and you guys are going. My life is with you, not here in this sandbox. Roswell might be where I was born, but in my heart, home…well home is my Spaceboy.” She said.

Liz looked at her, smiling. She was glad she wasn’t losing her best friend. She had already lost Alex, she didn’t want to loose Maria too.

He looked at her uncertain, which cause her to feel hurt.

“Maria...think about what you’re saying...” He said softly.

She walked up to him and looked at him for what seemed forever before talking.

“We might be screwed up but we’re meant for each other. I cannot live without you.” She whispered and she flew in his arms and he hold her tightly and kissed her softly.

She stayed in his arms, not wanting to step away from it. He was Michael, he was her home.

She was where she belonged.
