Chapter 2
{Max’s POV}


I miss Maria so much.  I don’t know how much longer I can sit her and not try and find her.  You wonder what I’m talking about.  Three months ago my best friend and lover up and left.  Well, let me explain how this all came about.


At the end of my sophomore year, I received a message from my mother telling me why the four of us, Michael, Tess, Isabel and myself were sent to earth.  That day I thought that my life had ended.  My girlfriend at the time Liz Parker was with us when we heard about our destiny.  That I was married to Tess, and that I was the King of our home planet.  Michael was my second in command and he was to marry Isabel.  Liz walked out on me that day in the cave so I could pursue my destiny.  Then she left to Florida for the summer.  That was when I realized that my life wasn’t over.  I became best friends with Maria Deluca.  We were both heartbroken.  We spent everyday together that summer.  I knew my feelings for Maria changed that summer but nothing happened because she was still in love with Michael and I still did love Liz.  When Liz returned home from Florida at the end of the summer, we worked thinks out and started dating again.  I was still really close to Maria but we didn’t spend as much time together because she also got back together with Michael.  Liz and I were doing really good all through our junior year.  I loved Liz but I also had feeling for Maria, so I never let Liz and mine relationship become intimate.  On June 10th, Liz and I went out on a date,  We went out to the desert to look at the stars.  We started making out and things started to advance but I didn’t want this to happen.  I stopped, telling ‘We can’t do this.  I don’t think it is the right time for us.’  Well Liz got mad and told me that something had changed between us.  She also went on to say ‘Max, I can’t be with you anymore.  This isn’t the first time that you have stop things between us.  Last year you wanted this to happen but now you don’t.  Is their someone else?’  I never answered her question, I just got up and got my stuff together and drove her home.  We didn’t talk on the way to her place I didn’t have anything to say to her.  After I dropped her off I went right to Maria’s house.  When I got Maria’s window I saw her curled up in a ball crying.  I opened the window and climbed in, she never heard any of this.  I walked over to her and touched her shoulder.  She never looked at me but she through herself in to my arms.  I sat and rocked her, telling her everything was going to be okay.  I hated seeing her this way because of Michael.  About half and hour later Maria finally calmed down and looked up at me.  When she looked at me with those beautiful green eyes.  All the passion I felt for her reached the surface.  I couldn’t hide my feelings any longer.  So I kissed her.  I was afraid that she would push me away but she kissed me back.  Well, one thing lead to another and I slept with Maria.  I was shocked to realize that she was still a virgin.  I assumed that she had already slept with Michael, so I wasn’t careful not to hurt her like I would have been if I had known.  I saw the tears in her eyes when I broke through he barrier of her innocence.  I felt bad and was going to stop but she wouldn’t allow that.  We ended up making love four times.  After the fourth time, Maria fell asleep in my arms.  I never fell asleep, I just watched her sleep but I had to leave.  It was dawn and I had to get home before my parents realize I never came home.  I kissed her on the lips, then left the way I came.  I didn’t get to see Maria that day because I had to work.  I ended up getting extra shifts at the UFO Center.  I didn’t get to see Maria.  I avoided Liz, so I didn’t go into the Crashdown.  Everyday I would wake up thinking about that night with Maria and I would go to bed thinking about the same thing.  It had been a week since that night with Maria and Isabel, Alex, Kyle, and Tess wanted to meet for lunch at the Crashdown since I haven’t seen much of them either.  I said yes because I figured I would be able to see Maria.  When I walked into the Crashdown everyone except Maria was there at their usual booth.  I didn’t think anything of it until Amy walked in with tears streaming down her face.  I got up and walked over to her.


“Amy what’s wrong?”  I asked her.  She didn’t say anything just pushed a piece of paper in my hand.  I took it and found it was a letter and I read it to myself.  I couldn’t believe what I read.  Then I felt Amy grab me into a hug.


“Max, honey, I know you’re going to miss her.”  Amy whispered into my ear.


“What’s going on?”  Isabel asked.  I broke the hug from Amy and turned to Isabel.


“Maria left Roswell.”  I said finally letting a few tears fall.


“Where did she go?”  Asked Alex.


“I don’t know.  This is what the letter says:


Mom,
I couldn’t stay in Roswell any longer.  I went some where safe.  Please don’t try to find me.  I will keep in touch with you.  I’m glad that you’ll have Jim to help you through this.  He really cares about you mom, don’t give up on him because I left.
I’m sorry and I love you with all my heart.
You Daughter,
Maria Deluca
P.S.  No else knows that I left Roswell.  Will you please tell Isabel, Kyle, Alex, and Tess I love them and will miss them and not to worry about me I’m safe.  Tell Max, I will miss him the most and also that I love him.  Tell Michael nothing.  I don’t want him to know anything because I could care less about him.  I love you Mom bye”



Of course I left out some it because I didn’t think it was any of their business.
I didn’t know what else to say.  Isabel started crying Alex held her close with tears in his eyes.  Liz just stood there and I saw Michael out of the corner of my eye acting like he didn’t care.  I couldn’t stand it any longer, I just walked out.  Now, it’s been three months and school has started.  Amy said she has only talked to Maria one
time since she left.  Amy and I keep in touch just in case one of us hear from Maria.  I haven’t really hung out with anybody since that day in the Crashdown.  Liz has tried to get me back but I told her I couldn’t be with her ever again.  I go through everyday without feeling anything.  I miss her so much.  Isabel asked me one day if I wanted her to dream walk Maria and find out where she is.  I told her no because Maria would let us know where she was when she is ready.  That explains how I’ve come to missing my Maria so much.
