Thousands of Lighthouses

Author's Note: Okay I know I'm not the only person here who felt like they got shafted by the ending between our beloved M&M couple and now that I've finally gotten the time to vent it out here.
Feedback: PLease my imagination breathes on feedback so I'd really love to hear from you and what you think about the story. Please be gentle though :)
Disclaimer: Not mine . . . la da da :P

Damn Michael and his stonewall.

He said he loved me. The three words I've longed for him to say he's finally said them. But he didn't say them in some romantic place or time like I'm sure Liz and her moon doggie Max got. He said those words to me as if he regretted ever loving me in the first place.

To tell you the truth I've never seen Michael be more human in his life.

"What kind of person does that make me?"

Michael Guerin, the one who's been searching in the stars his whole life for something better. Him thinking he was separate from everyone else because he was . . . alien. Michael admitted without even knowing it that he could have the capacity to be human after all.

But does he have the capacity to love? Now I know more than ever that Michael does deep beneath his alien heart love me. Sure, he acts like an asshole sometimes and I'm so tired of saying "This is how a relationship works," I want to just off the whole thing right now.

I love Michael though. Despite everything I love Michael. Michael and Maria, M&M, our names even sound made for each other. The two of us together would make the official candy of the millennium.

The way he's so determined for everything to be black and white yet when it comes to us all I can see are colors.

I can see the color red for all the passion he puts into his kisses. Not only kissing, but Michael must be the most intense person I've ever meet. Although he'll deny this character analysis of him to the very end which shows his infuriating stubborn side.

I can see the color yellow for the friendship we've got. Isabel may be his destiny and Max may be his best friend, but they've never seen Michael the way he's let me see him that rain soaked night after he used his powers on Hank. Isabel never saw Michael let go in her arms completely vulnerable. She's not the one he went to for comfort in the end. I saw a part of Michael brought to the surface that night he never let anyone see before.

I can see the color blue because I was able to let Michael slow down on his quest long enough for him to fall for me. I fall for Michael with each tender kiss he gives me on the forehead over and over again.

But I can't stop Michael.

All I can see now is the color of green. I'm tying Michael Guerin to the earth when I know more than anyone that he needs to do this. I can't keep him from searching for what he needs to settle once and for all . . . his past.

"Maybe it's because I love you too much."

He's using his destiny as an excuse. He's using his control issues with his powers against me. The dude's never had control of his powers anyway big surprise to anyone there.

I know.

I know that he's afraid because I am the only reason that can stop him from leaving earth. Spaceboy's found his anchor.

"Not if you were the last woman on earth."

He's not the only one getting screwed over by this whole thing. He thinks he's the only one in love here, because it's gone both ways.

Doesn't Michael Guerin ever think that I might love him back.

"Not if you were the last alien on earth."

That's why I have to do what I have to do.

Maria Deluca looked up at the stars. They were like thousands of lighthouses in the sky. So many you couldn't find your way home leaving you more confused than ever. Maria knew exactly what she had to do. She had to tell Michael that . . .

"Maria?"

Maria turned around to face Michael with her words caught in my throat.

If you want for me to write a second part to this story please write some feedback and I'll see what happens from there :) Kat
