Chapter 3
{Maria’s POV}


Well, It’s now officially Christmas break.  I’ve made some new friends and they don’t judge me because I’m pregnant.  I can say there are at least 10 or 11 other girls that are in my predicament and that’s only for my senior class.  I’m showing now considering I’m six months along.  I still haven’t talked to anyone from Roswell.  Isabel hasn’t been in my dreams either.  I think about Max every second of everyday.  My mom was at my Aunt Monica’s last weekend.  She still doesn’t know that I’m here.  But I got to see her.  Even if she did see me she wouldn’t have recognized me.  I’ve got really long brown hair and I’m bigger then I was the last time I saw her.  My Aunt Monica says she is engaged to Jim Valenti and she misses me like crazy.  I never asked her if my mom said anything about any of my friends because for me it’s better not knowing.  I write to Max everyday but I never send him any of the letters.  I’m afraid if I send him the actual letters, he would be able to find me.  Actually my Aunt is going to visit my mom next weekend and I can have her put it in the mail for there.  That’s exactly what I’m going to do.  I’ll write the letter tonight.




                    




Chapter 4
{Max’s POV}



Christmas just passed and I still don’t know where Maria is.  I bought her a Christmas gift in case she comes home.  I still miss her like crazy.  Kyle has been driving me crazy about moving on and that I still have other friends.  I decided to tell Kyle every thing that happened between Maria and I because I needed to talk to someone also so he would leave me alone about moving on.  I couldn’t talk to Michael and Liz for obvious reasons.  I could have talked to Alex but I was afraid Isabel would get it out of him some way.  I knew Kyle was my best choice, I mean Kyle is like my best friend.  I got to know him the summer Maria and I became best friends.  Michael told me the other day that he still loves Maria but he isn’t going to wait forever for her to return.  I told him it has only been six months.  I never knew what had happen that night between Michael and Maria until a few days ago.  When I over heard Michael and Courtney talk about being caught by Maria.  I was pissed to say the least.  I’ve been avoiding him since.  He actually had the nerve to ask Kyle what my problem was.  Kyle just said “YOU” and walked off.  I grab my picture I have of Maria and I that sits next to my bed when I hear someone knocking at my door.


“Who is it?”  I asked.


“Isabel, you got letter in the mail.”  Isabel said through my door.  She knows not to come in my room without my permission anymore.


“Come it.  Who is it from?”


“I don’t know.  There is no return address and it’s typed out.  So I couldn’t tell.  Here you go.  I’m on my way out with Tess.  Talk to you later.”  Isabel said as she walked out.  I wonder whom it’s from.  It’s from someone here in Roswell.  I decided to open it and when I see whom it is from my heart skips a beat.  I take a deep breath before I start reading it.


My Dearest Max,
I miss you so much.  I think of that night we made love everyday.  I don’t know if you think of as making love or just sex.  I’m sorry I left like that but I needed to get away.  I knew my feelings for you were more then just friends and I couldn’t bear to see you and Liz together.  I knew you were shocked when you realized  that I was still a virgin but I couldn’t sleep with Michael knowing that I had feeling for you.  I love you so much but I can’t come back to Roswell for awhile or if ever.  I’m sorry it took me six months to send this letter.  Tell my mother I love and miss her like crazy.  Tell Isabel, Tess, Kyle, and Alex I love them and miss them too.  I think about them all the time.  Some nights I expect to see Isabel in my dreams to try and find me.  I’m glad that you won’t let her come.  Sorry about the teardrops that make my ink blur but I can’t help but cry because I miss you so much.  I better go.  I have stuff I need to finish.  I love you with all my heart and soul Maxwell Evans.
Yours Truly,
Maria Deluca


By the time I finished reading the letter I was crying.  I stood up really quickly because I thought I was going to be sick and dropped the picture frame of Maria and I.  Isabel and Tess came running into my room when they heard me break my picture frame.  I look up at them and cry harder.


“Max, what’s wrong?”  Isabel asks then see the picture frame on the floor broken.  She just grabs me and hugs me.  Then she saw the letter next to me and picked up.  I heard her tell Tess “It’s from Maria.”


“What does it say?”  Tess asked now worried.


“Please don’t read it.”  I begged them but Isabel read it anyways.  When she was finished she just looked at me then handed the letter to Tess who read it.


“Why didn’t you tell us about this?”  Tess finally said after I calmed myself down.


“Now, I know why you have been the way you have.  How did you keep this in all this time?”  Isabel asked with concern.


“I didn’t, I told Kyle everything about two and half months ago.  I’m sorry about how I’ve been but I miss her so much.  I love her even more now.  I have to find her.”  I said.


“I could dream walk her.”  Isabel offered.


“No, I’m going to give her some more time.  I will look for her after graduation because that will give me time to earn enough money.  If she doesn’t come back before then.  If I don’t find her during the summer then I’ll have to give up because of college.”


“We will help as much as we can.”  Isabel said.


“Sorry to change the subject but are you still going to LA with Amy, Jim, Kyle, and I at spring break to check out some college campuses.”  Tess asked.


“Yes, I’m still going.  Are we still staying at Amy’s sisters?”


“No we are getting a hotel because Amy’s sister Monica is gonna be out of town.”


“Cool with me.  You guys can go now, I’ll be fine.  I don’t know what got into me.”  I said.  They said their good-byes and left.  I just laid back on my bed and thought about that night with Maria.
