| "Nothing!" Maria yelled at Alex when he touched her face. "Please tell me and we will help" Alex pleaded. "This is my problem not yours" Maria said walking over to the couch. "Maria we care, you know" Michael said as he walked into the trailer. "WHAT! You brought them! Just leave before Hank comes home!" Maria yelled. "No, Maria you are coming with us" Alex said with a commanding voice. "Alex, I am staying, I know Hank isn't the best foster dad but he is my foster dad so leave" Maria pleaded with him. "What about the next time?" Liz said. "There is not going to be a next time" Maria said stumbling over to the kitchen. "Maria, there is always a next time" Alex said as he followed her. "Just go" Maria yelled. She didn't want to listen to them. She didn't want their pity. "No" Liz yelled. "No, you are going to decide this to like the rest of my life" Maria shot back at Liz. "Maria we all care about you" Michael said trying to ease the tension. "Yeah Michael, that is because Liz here couldn't keep her little hands off Max" Maria said angry. "No, we are you friends and we care, all of us" Isabel said to Maria. All of a sudden a car pulls up beside the trailer. "Hank is home, Go" Maria yelled. "Let me heal you first" Alex said walking towards Maria. "No, then Hank will suspect something" Maria said to Alex. "He won't remember anything in the morning" Alex said as he put his and on her face. "Go!" Maria yelled and walked away from Alex. "Fine" Liz said and walked towards the door but was stopped by a smelly, dirty, old man. "Well hello and who might you be?" Hank said looking Liz and Isabel over. "Maria�s friends" Liz said back. "Well baby, want to party?" Hank said to Liz. "No, she doesn't want to party!" Alex said as he walked over to Liz. "Well do you? I want an answer" Hank said. "I don't party with a guy that beats girls" Liz said angry. "I what?!?" Hank yelled. "Don't touch Maria again or I will kill you!" Liz yelled and attacked Hank. Maria stepped between Hank and the rest of her friends. "Guys Go NOW!!!" Maria yelled. "Ok, fine" Liz said and walked out of the trailer with the rest of the group behind her. **************** "What! You are going to leave her here" Michael almost yelled outside the trailer. "What can we do, it's her decision" Liz said angrily. "I don't like this" Alex said as he looked over at Liz. "I know, but she has powers and she can protect herself" Liz said as she hopped into the jeep. "Ok, see you in the morning" Max said as he, Isabel and Michael got into the Jetta. "Bye" Isabel called out. "Yeah, bye" Liz said as she looked over at Alex how just stood there and looked at the trailer. "Alex are you coming?" Liz said. "No I am going to stay here a while." Alex said. "Come on Alex you can't protect her" Liz said as she got out of the jeep and walked over to Alex. "But she is my sister Liz, I can't just not protect her" Alex said hugging his sister. "Come on lets go, we can talk to her tomorrow ok?" Liz said. "Ok, tomorrow, right?" Alex said as they started walking towards the car. "Yes, tomorrow" Liz said with a smile. TBC |
