| "You can't do that, what about me and Liz" Alex said scared. "Just go home ok?" Maria said angry. "No" Alex yelled. "Hank, will be home soon and I will get in more trouble if you are here" Maria said as she rose from the floor. "Maria please! You have a chance here to get away from Hank, would it kill you to ask for help?" Alex said getting angrier. "Yeah, Alex it would, now leave" Maria snapped back. "Fine, you win" Liz said and left the room. The rest of the group followed her. ************** Well out of the trailer Alex said: "What! You're going to leave it at that?" "Alex trust me, she has to learn this on her on" Liz said looking towards the trailer. "I am going to go home, I suggest you all do that. Alex, get in now, I can't argue with you too, we will talk about this at home" Liz said angrily, this was just too much. "Whatever" Alex said as he got into the jeep. "Michael are you coming?" Isabel said as she got into the car. "Yeah" said Michael as he got into the car. They all drove away from the trailer not knowing what was going to happen. ******* Michael stepped out of the shower and put his sweatpants on and walked out of the bathroom. "Goodnight mom!" he called out. "Goodnight honey, sleep tight" she called back. Michael walked in to his room. The sight that meets him was one of his worst nightmares. Maria was by the window all wet and with bruises covering her face. "Oh good Maria, what happened?" He said as he walked over to her and started drying her with one of his shirts that he found on the floor. "It's ok, I don't get sick remember" Maria said sarcastically. "Lets get you out of those clothes anyway, here put this on" Michael pulled out an old sweater and threw it at Maria. Maria raised an eyebrow and said: "What only this" "It's as big as a dress for you" Michael said smiling. "Ok, where is the bathroom?" Maria said walking towards the door. "Can't go there, my mom will see you" Michael said smiling. "Then what do you suggest?" Maria wondered with a smile. "Change here, I will turn around" Michael said. "Promise?" Maria asked and looking at Michael in the eyes. "Promise" Michael answered and did a crossing motion at the heart. "Turn around" Maria said. "See I am turning" Michael said as he turned around. "Hold on.... Ok, finished" Maria said and Michael turned around to she her there in only his shirt. "Maria why did you come here?" Michael said trying to change the subject. "I don't want to talk about it" Maria said as her face turned to anger. "Why? Please tell me?" Michael said sadly. "No" Maria said angry. "Then why are you here?" Michael asked. "For help" Maria whispered almost that Michael didn't here it. "What?" Michael said. "For help. Shit, I knew it was a mistake to come here" Maria started to cry and walked towards the window. "Maria wait! Come here" Michael said, taking Maria in his arms. "Hey, it's ok" he whispered into her ear. "How is it ok, I had Hank and now I don't even have that, I am alone" Maria said crying. "Maria you are not alone you have Me, Liz, Alex, Isabel and Max. We all care about you." Michael said. "And now I fucked that up to" Maria said sarcastically. "No you still have us" Maria started crying even harder. Michael walked Maria to his bed and motions her to lie down. She did what she was told and softly lies down on Michael's pillow, and Michael lied down besides her holding her really hard and comforting her. "Hey, it's going to be ok" he whispered into her ear as he did a stroking pattern on her arm. TBC |
