Maria's hands started to shake even more. She couldn't move, she couldn't move. She just held on to the phone. She then heard a laugh, but it wasn't the same one in her nightmare. It was a friendly laugh. "Did I scare you, Maria?" Kyle asked. Maria let out a sigh of relief. "Kyle! What are you doing scaring me like that?" Maria asked Kyle. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you that much." Kyle told her. "So, what did you need?" Maria asked Kyle picking up the picture frame she dropped and throwing it away in the trash. "Oh, I thought you would need a ride to Michael's, since your mom has the car and she's out of town." Kyle told her. "Awww, thanks Kyle." Maria told him. She really didn't feel like walking to Michael's apartment alone. "No problem. I'll pick you up around 8:15 or 8:20." Kyle told her. "Ya, okay. Thanks again." Maria said. "Your welcome. Bye Maria." "Bye Kyle." Maria said while hanging up the phone. Maria got down on the floor and started picking up the pieces of glass. 'How did this happen?' Maria asked herself. 'I must have hit my arm on the dresser when I was sleeping, and it knocked the picture down.' Maria tried to convince herself. "Ouch!" Maria said as a piece of glass cut her hand. Maria threw away the pieces of glass and walked to the bathroom. Maria ran some warm water over her hand and washed the blood away. Maria got out the first aid kit and fixed up her cut. She wrapped her hand in a bandage and taped it up. Maria smiled at herself, for being able to do this with one hand. Maria grabbed a wet cloth and walked back to her bedroom, to clean up the blood that was on her floor. When Maria walked into her bedroom she noticed the window was open again. "What the..?" Maria said out loud. Maria walked to her window and closed it for the third time today. She shrugged her shoulders and walked to the other side of her bed and cleaned the blood off the floor. ------ Everyone was at Michael's apartment waiting for Max to tell them what he wanted to say. Max was standing up, Michael was on the couch with Maria on his lap. Liz sitting down on the chair close to Max, while Kyle and Isabel were sitting next to Michael on the couch. "Well, we're all here. What's are you mind, Maxwell?" Michael asked him. "Okay, lately I've been having this feeling...." Max paused for a little bit. "This feeling that something bad is going to happen." Everyone looked at each other. "Wait a minute are you saying that you think something is going to happen to one of us?" Isabel asked her brother. "No, yes, I mean no. I'm just saying I've been having this feeling, that something going to happen. And since lately we haven't had anything going out that involves aliens, I just thought we should be on the look out. Because usually when nothing happens for a while in means..." Max was cut in by Kyle. "That something big is coming to happen." Kyle added. Max nodded his head. "Now, I'm not saying we should be hiding. I'm saying that we should just be careful. If anything weird happens we have to tell each other. I don't want anything to happen to anyone." Max said, everyone nodded their heads. "Okay, is that all?" Isabel asked. Max nodded his head. "Well, I would love to stay here and chat but I have a husband to get home to. See you guys tomorrow." Isabel said before leaving. "I should go too." Kyle said as he walked to the door. "Maria are you coming?" Kyle asked her. "No, I'm staying here tonight." Maria told him. Kyle smirked and nodded his head. "Okay, bye you guys." Liz turned to Max. "I should be heading home too. I have an early shift again." Liz told Max. Max nodded his head. "I'll drive you home." Max told her. Liz smiled at Max. "Okay. Bye Maria." Liz said as her and Max left. "Bye." Maria said back. Maria got off Michael's lap and walked to the kitchen Michael followed her and sat on a stool. Maria poured herself some soda. "Ouch!" Maria said as she put the soda bottle back in the fig. Michael looked at Maria's hand and just noticed the bandage. "What did you do to your hand?" Michael asked her. Maria looked at her hand. "Oh, I cut it." Maria told him, while sitting down next to her. "Doing what?" He asked her while taking her hand and looking at it. "I was picking up some glass. My picture from fell off my small dresser next to my bed and it broke." Maria explained to him. Michael just nodded his head. "Did you clean it?" He asked her. Maria raised her eyebrows. "Did I clean it?" Maria repeated. "If you call putting it under warm water cleaning it, then yes I did." Maria told him. Michael sighed. "Maria, your suppose to clean a cut. Or it could get all infective. "Michael told her. "Come on, I'll clean it." Michael said as he pulled Maria to the bathroom. Maria sat down on the toilet as Michael got the cut cleaner out. "Michael, you really don't have to clean it. I mean look it's fine. It won't get infective." Maria blabbed. Michael chuckled at Maria. "What's so funny?" Maria asked him. "Your afraid of some cleaner sh!t." Michael told her. Maria glared up at Michael. "So.... It stings. The cut hurts bad enough, I don't need you putting some stingy stuff on it and making it worse." Maria told him. Michael rolled his eye's and put some on the cleaner on a cloth. "Give me your hand." Michael told her. Maria gave Michael her hand that didn't have the cut on it. "Your other hand, Maria." Maria glared at Michael again and gave her the hand with the cut on it. Michael unwrapped her hand and put the cloth over her cut. Maria winced when the cloth touched her hand. "Stop being such a little baby." Michael told her. "You know Michael, I'm gunna remember this when you want some nookie." Maria told Michael. Michael glared at Maria and took the cloth off her cut and looked at it. "There, now it won't get infective." Michael told her while wrapping her hand in a new bandage. Maria smiled at Michael and leaned forward to give him a kiss on the lips. "Thanks spaceboy." Maria told him. Michael smiled and brought Maria into a passionate kissed. Maria wrapped her arms around Michael's neck and pulled him closer to her. Michael placed his hand under Maria's thighs and lifted her up, taking her to his bedroom. TBC
