The rest of her entire life had already been planned for her. That's pretty depressing when you think about it. She wiped down a table that someone just exited and showed a new family to it. There was a mom, dad, two little boys and a girl. They looked so happy together and she couldn't help but wonder if she'd ever be able to be that happy. With the mate she was supposedly so in love with in another life, she doubted if she even get the stomach to make the kid's. As Liz was wallowing in her self pity Max navigated through the crowd toward her. "Hey" He commented and sat on a empty stool in front of her. "Do you have a break any time soon, I need to talk to you."      Liz didn't know what to say to him. She had to stop doing this to herself and to him. They would never have a chance together. She looked at Maria and mouthed to ask her for a ten minute break. Maria was ready to say no way in hell until she saw Max. Then she nodded. If Liz got with Max then, she could have a crack at Micheal. Liz took off her apron and checked to see if it was time for him to come in yet. "We've got ten minutes till I have to come back," She yelled to him. She grabbed his hand and pulled him through the growing crowd out the front door and into the alley along side the resturant. "What did you want to talk to me about?" ------------------------------------------------------               Max took a deep breath and began to pace, he was worried. He really liked Liz and for the first time in his life he was about to put himself on the line, for what he felt, was love. "I know you have a guy" Max said suddenly turning toward her and grabbing her hands. after a short quiet he continued. "But I can treat you better than him, and I wanted to know if you'd dump him and be my girl." -----------------------------------------------------          Liz stood there with her mouth agape. Had he just said the words that she had wanted him to say since the first time she saw him? She felt like jumping for joy and screaming her head off at the same time. Why was life so horrible? She gently pulled her hand's from his, "I'm sorry Max, I can't break-up with Micheal, but I still really want to be friends with you." He looked shocked for a moment then it contorted into righteous rage. "You think you can have both of us," He said suddenly. "You think I'm some stupid poor kid, willing to take someones left overs in a broom closet after work as long as I don't tell your guy or your dad" he asked incredulously. "Well guess what, your wrong." "I never wanted you anyway and when your jock boyfriend drops you for the first slut in a short skirt don't come crying to me." Liz was speechless. "I didn't mean it that way," she tried to explain, but he wasn't hearing it. "Oh you didn't mean it that way, cause it sure sounded that way. I don't even wanna hear your excuses, Fuck off!!! With that he turned his back on her. ------------------------------------------------------                       Liz stood paralyzed with shock for a moment, then began to blindly run for the street. Tears blurred her vision and she didn't hear the car until she felt it's cold metal against her body, then for the first time in her life she was flying. -------------------------------------------------------                        Max was angrily rubbing his burning his eyes when he heard a screeching car and a few seconds later a horrible thud. He ran full tilt toward the street then stopped dead in his tracks. He stared at her body, lying broken and bloody on the pavement, then went to her. "Liz ,do you hear me" he asked but she didn't respond.       She was looking around and kept opening and closing her mouth. There was also a gurgling sound deep in her throat. He wished he could've just started bawling right then but he had to be strong for her. People were running and screaming all around them, he didn't hear any of it. He grabbed her face and hugged her toward him. "I want you to get better, I want you to get better" he kept repeating.      She had a horrible wound on her head and he touched it with his hand. He felt this tremendous energy going through him and he saw something. He saw him and her earlier that morning. he saw she and Micheal in her bedroom later that day. He felt what she was feeling and in that moment he knew she loved him too. He felt a smile on his face and when he looked at her she was looking back in amazment. He raised his hand and the blood was still there but the wound was closed. He was suddenly very afraid. "How did you do that" she asked in a wondering voice.    He suddenly felt like running away. He finally found out the girl of his dreams loved him too and now she knew he was a freak. He gently put her down on the concrete and said so only she could hear, "I don't know, please don't tell." With that he ran away. Micheal had heard the commotion and come running. "Liz" he screamed and grabbed her. "I'm O.K" she said grimacing from how rough he had just been with her. She still had bruises in her mid section. "But I think I know who the fourth is." With that she and Micheal looked after the retreating form of Maxwell Guerin.
