"What gets me is that...that Madame Vivian bitch was right. Granted, Michael is the world's worst boyfriend. I know that. You know that," there was a pause, "America knows that. But when I caught them together...that look of guilt on his face...I've never felt so awful, Liz," Maria told her best friend.
That is when Liz got an idea. She could do the same thing, but only Max would be on the receiving end. How, no who would she get to help her? Kyle? No, he most likely didn't want to be involved with all this alien stuff. Michael? No, he has been through enough already, and besides it was Michael. Alex? No, he would most likely freak out about the idea, and being with Alex would be just too weird.
Who did that leave then, Future Max? No, that would be to weird in its self, Liz thought to herself. And besides, if she were to ask him, she would most likely want to go through with the whole thing.
"Maria, I am so sorry. I can't believe he would do something like that to you," Liz said still thinking about her own plan.
"Ok, I think we need a change of subject," Maria suggested. "Guess who came to see me here last night?"
As Liz thought about what Maria was saying and what happened last night, only one name came to her, "Max," she whispered.
*****
Ok, so how was Liz going to tell him? She came up with this plan to trick Max and to make him not love her anymore. But was it really going to work?
I have other friends besides them. She told herself. Why don't I call
them.
Liz kept coming back to the question plaguing her, how was she going to ask him? She didn't think he would want to go through with it. But this was Max she was talking about. He would do anything to help her.
When Liz came into her room, she saw Max lying on her bed. He looked tired. She didn't know if this was the right time to ask him.
"Liz," he said, he didn't even have to open his eyes to know it was she.
"Um, I have something to ask you," she said. "This is kinda awkward though."
"Why don't you just ask, and I will tell you my answer."
Max sat up on her bed now. He didn't know what she was going to ask, but he felt that it was something not to be taken lightly.
"Um...uh, when you told me earlier about you and my Max coming into contact, would that mean that you can't even be in the same room? Or does that mean you can't make eye contact or what?"
OK, Liz, you are on a roll. Just wait for his answer then ask another, she thought to herself.
"Well, I am not too sure myself. But from what Serina has made me come to believe that Max and me, well we just can't make eye contact. We can't really, you know what, I am not too sure myself. She just said that we couldn't come into contact with each other. Why?"
"Well, I was talking with Maria. She told me a few things that Michael had done. It...It uh...it got me thinking. You see, what she told me Michael had done was..."
****
Max was alone thinking about what Liz had said. This could be a good thing, but it also could be bad. How did she think he could do this? Didn't she know that if he were to do this he would really want to go through with the plan?
While Max was thinking, he didn't hear Liz come into the room. "Max?" she asked. There was an unspoken question that they both knew, and couldn't hide from.
"Liz, I don't know. If I do this, I would have to actually go through with it. I can't just pretend. If you can't understand or won't, just get someone else who will."
Liz knew that would be his answer. And she was actually ready for it too, "Max, I understand what you mean. And I think, no, I know that I am ready. I want you to do this with me."
Max was scared. This was worse then before. This time it was actually his future self, not the Max that Liz actually knew. Not the Max that Liz would want to do this with, but the Max that she was going to. And both of them knew that this time, there might be consequences to pay.
