Why, do you always do this to me?
Why, couldn't you just see through me?
How come, you act like this?
Like you just don't care at all

Maria DeLuca strung away at her guitar as she sang a lonely song. A song she’d written about Michael, a song that broke her heart.

Do you expect me to believe I was the only one to fall?
I could feel I could feel you near me, even though you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

She couldn’t understand how Michael could hurt her the way he did. How he could dismiss her and pretend that she never existed? For three weeks she hadn’t seen him, she hadn’t heard from him. Three weeks since he told her he loved her and walked away leaving her broken, leaving her broken hearted. The worst part, that part that she hated; she still wanted, loved and needed him.

It's not supposed to feel this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, do you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why

So Maria retreated to the only peace she’d ever known. Music. As she sung the words of a broken heart and strummed the beat of love lost she found peace, if only for a few minutes.

Hey, listen to what we're not saying
Let's play, a different game than what we're playing
Try, to look at me and really see my heart
Do you expect me to believe I'm gonna let us fall apart?
I could feel I could feel you near me, even when you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

Michael Guerin walked the streets of Roswell every night and every night he found himself in the same place. He expected it by now even though every night he’d swear he wouldn’t go there. What he didn’t expect was to find her singing. Everyone had told him she had beautiful voice. They really didn’t need to tell him, he knew. As much as he always said he hated the sound of her voice, he secretly loved it. He loved to just listen to her laughing with Alex; it even managed to bring a smile to his face. So when he found her singing, it only proved what he’d always known, that she was heavenly.

It's not supposed to feel this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why

She put everything in her into that song. Her eyes gently closed as she lost herself in the rhythm. Michael realized how talented she really was. She wrote this song and he knew she wrote it for him. He wanted to walk away, the pain in her voice would make him crumble but he couldn’t move. He was rooted to the spot lost in the beauty of her heart. Her eyes opened slowly and tear ran down her perfect cheek.

So go and think about whatever you need to think about
Go ahead and dream about whatever you need to dream about
And come back to me when you know just how you feel, you feel
I could feel I could feel you near me, even though you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

She finished her song and all the pain she’d been holding inside surfaced. Breaking down into tears, she rocked herself searching for a comfort no one could offer her. Suddenly, her head shot up. A feeling she knew too well stirred within her and she knew he was near. Michael walked away as Maria stood from her living room sofa. As she walked towards the window he disappeared leaving nothing behind but a feeling Maria couldn’t shake. She could have sworn he was there, but as she stood in front of her window the streets were baron. Maria lowered her head and walked towards her bedroom.

It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me

As she opened the door, content to just collapse on her bed and pray for sleep she stopped, frozen. Michael was there, sitting on her bed, the window open. She stared at him, she knew why he was there and she knew she should protest but she couldn’t. She stood frozen to the spot as Michael stalked towards her. She knows that it doesn’t mean anything, that it’s not a promise. Quite the opposite, it’s a goodbye. She stood still as Michael carefully removed the clothes from her body and wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her close, chest to chest. His mouth went to her neck and she unconsciously whispered.

“Do you expect me to believe, I’m gonna let us fall apart?” Michael barely heard it, he pulled back and looked into her eyes as he lifted her into the air and carried her to the bed.

“No,” He whispers softly, his mouth close to her ear before sinking into her.

It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, do you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why

The End
