            Liz walked down the hill away from Max. When she got to the bottom she took a deep breath wiping away the tears that had fallen down her cheeks. She slowly made her way to her car, climbed in and drove back towards Roswell.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t want to lose you

But I don’t want to use you

Just to have somebody by my side,

And I don’t want hate you

And I don’t want to take you ,

But I don’t want to be the one to cry

And I don’t really matter to anyone anymore

But like a fool I keep losing my place

And I keep seeing you walk through that door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            Liz slowly walked into her room and over to the wall pulling out the lose brick and retrieving her journal. She climbed out on her balcony and sat down opening her journal to the next clean page.

But there’s a danger in loving somebody too much

And it’s sad when you know it’s your heart you can’t trust,

There’s a reason why people don’t stay where they are,

Baby sometimes love just ain’t enough.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            Today I did the hardest thing in my life, I walked away from Max, the love of my life. It’s not because I stopped loving him, that could never happen. It’s because I love him so much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I could never change you,

And I don’t want to blame,

Baby you don’t have to take the fall.

Yes I may have hurt you,

But I did not desert you,

Baby I just want to have it all.

It makes a sound like thunder,

It makes me feel like a way

And  like a fool who will never see the truth

I keep thinking something’s gonna change.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The other night when Max told me that he loved me, I thought we could get through anything, because we loved each other, and I knew we’d always have that, no matter what. But today, listening to his mother tell him about his “destiny” I realized how wrong I was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will always love Max, I’ll never stop, but I know I did the right thing. I just hope Max will understand that. I wanted to tell him, I wanted to tell him so bad, that no matter what I would still love him, even when he’s with Tess and he’s saving his planet, I’ll still love him. I just hope he knows that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And there’s now way home

When it’s late at night and you’re all alone 

Are there things that you wanted to say

And do you feel me beside you in your bed,

There beside you where I used to lay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ll never forget Max. He saved my life, in more ways than one. He taught me so much. He taught me what it is to love someone so much that you would do anything for them, no matter what the consequences for you are. The biggest thing Max Evans taught me though is that, sometimes you can’t chose your destiny. I remember we kept telling each other that you chose your own destiny,  trying to make each other believe it, trying to stop the inevitable from happening. No, sometimes you can’t chose you destiny, sometimes it chooses you. Now Max will teach me one more thing, he’ll teach me the hardest thing of all. He’ll teach me how to let go.

And there’s a danger in loving somebody too much

And it’s sad when you know it’s your heart they can’t touch,

There’s a reason why people don’t stay who they are

Baby sometimes love just ain’t enough,

Baby sometimes love just ain’t enough.

            Liz slowly closed her journal and looked up into darkening sky. Her eyes quickly found the V shape constellation. The five stars blurred in her vision and it took her a moment to realize she was crying again. She quickly wiped away the tears that were falling and looked back up.  “Goodbye Max” she whispered into the darkness around her. The stars started to blur again, but this time Liz just let the tears fall not bothering to wipe them away. She just kept staring at the five blurry stars, wondering what would have been different if they had never found out about those five stars. ‘It’s funny,’ she thought, ‘how the smallest of things, like five stars can change you’re life so drastically.’
