Day 2
Isabel and Michael had returned to their dark selected cells when the speaker suddenly came overhead. "Specimens 4 and 5, Alex and Maria to the room." Came the voice as they both were suddenly dragged out of their cells.
Alex casted a sembalance glance to Isabel, who had a cut visable over her mouth and some on her neck a few bruises to boot. Michael hadn't gotten off so easily his shoulder injured with non dry red blood could be seen, his movements weren't in stride anymore they looked like they hurt to move, he probably had gotten broken ribs too juding from his stance, and posture.
Then they were both put in the room and the door was banged shut. Maria's chocolate tinted hazel hues sat in the dimly lighted corner of the room, eyeing the floor. She lightly tugged on her silver scrubs and bit her lip before seeing Alex's gaze locked on her.
"This sucks." Alex said matter- of - factly
Maria nodded. "I really don't like this....." She quipped before grimacing in pain putting her arms around herself.
Alex began pacing in front of her. "This is really not what I planned to be doing after graduation. Man I was gonna go to Hollywood and be one of those rock stars on TV, but no I'm stuck here getting tortured because of some aliens that I just happen to be involed with."
Maria ran a hand threw her brunette hair. "I know, Alex. How do you think I feel?"
Alex sighed and ran a hand threw his hair. "I don't know Maria"
Maria sighed. "I'm hurt, I'm bleeding, and I'm tired I just want this to be over"
Alex stopped pacing over to her holding his arms out. "Do you need a hug?"
Maria slowly stood, grimacing with pain in each step she took to move her body, before she could get to Alex; she collapsed over onto the mats, tears from pain visable in her eyes.
"Maria." Alex said as he went to her on the mats. He wished he had special alien powers to heal her pain but he doesn't so he can't help her at all. He would ask her "Are You Okay?" but that would be a stupid question to ask since he knows she isn't.
"Alex" She spoke reaching to wipe her tears away. "Sorry if I scared you"
Alex reached a hand out and wiped away a tear that was sliding down her face. "It's okay. It's all going to be okay. We'll get through this some how."
Maria nodded then laughed slightly. "I wish I had kept all that advil"
Alex laughed slighty also. "You'll need more then that after we all get out of all of this."
"True. And to think I told Liz to actually let you in on this." She ran a hand threw her hair. "I was stupid"
"No you weren't. If you wouldn't have told her that then she wouldn't have told me and I probably would've stopped talking to you two cause you were lying to me then I'd be all lonely cause I wouldn't have any friends."
She eyed him slowly. "Yeah, but I was still stupid and unfair I mean you deserve a normal life."
"We all deserve that but we can't have it. I think you and Liz deserve it the most." Alex said said looking down at her slowly.
"That's not true Alex, you know that you have as much as a chance as myself, Liz or Kyle" She looked up at him.
Alex switched his position to sit indian style. "I think you have the best chance. I mean you're a beautiful, funny, awesome girl who's got a lot going for her. A lot more then I do."
"You've got your band, you've got Isabel, you've got talent and you...you've got me" She looked down at the floor.
"Ok 1. My band sucks... the only time we were good was with you singing with us. 2. I don't have Isabel anymore. 3. I'm a talentless bass player. and 4. You're like the only person I have left... Liz is too indulged in her marriage with Max and no one else gives a damn about me."
Maria nodded. "Okay number one I agree with. 2. Isabel was stupid marrying Jesse 3. You've got more talent than most people I mean come on your like the only guy who can make fun of boybands and just make mockerys out of them 4. I give a damn about you"
"Well thank you. At least someone does."
"I mean well you know, and if no one does I'll be sure to always"
"Of course cause your My Ria. You've always been My Ria. Ever since 5th grade when I saw you and Liz playing on the monkey bars. You were hanging upside down like a monkey with your blonde curls hanging in your face and Liz was trying to get you to come down so you wouldn't fall on your head."
"Yeah and then you came over, with yor scruffy black hair and brown eyes and you got me down for her." Maria finished for him.
"Well you were about to fall so I had to be the hero and save ya." Alex smiling one of his goofy smiles at her. He then put fists on his hips and imated Mighty Mouse. "Here I come to save the day."
Maria laughed a little. "Well you're my hero, Alex"
Alex took his hands off his hips and smiled at her before running a hand through his scruffly short black hair.
Maria sighed. "I was so mad at you that day in 5 grade when you pulled me down I wanted to kick you so badly, but I couldn't"
"Well it is so hard to be mad at little ol' me, isn't it?"
"Yep, I couldn't ever stay mad at you but Liz could for weeks"
"Months even. I remember one time she was made at me for like 2 months cause I wouldn't give back her favorite barbie doll."
"Yeah, but what were you doing with it anyway?" She asked questionatively.
"Science experiment." He answer simply.
"Uh- Huh" She spoke before facing him still laying on the ground. "I'm sorry Liz and Max just put us threw all of this hell, maybe it's a sign or something"
"Sign of what?" He question inquizatively. as he still sat on the padded floor in indian style. "The Apocalypse or something?"
"Like maybe we all shouldn't be around Liz or the aliens anymore"
"Maybe." Alex simply shrugged. " I don't know."
"Live normal." She sighed. "I know I'm probably talking crazy"
He shook his head. "You're not. I understand ya. I always do"
Maria eyed him slowly. "Explain....."
Alex lays on his stomach facing Maria. "Well, like, mostly everyone in our little group or whatever you wanna call it, doesn't understand you sometimes, you know cause you babble alot and despite all your babbling I always seem to understand ya. Comprendas?"
Maria nodded and smacked him playfully. "I don't babble too much!" She shrieked lightly.
Alex laughed lightly. "Do too."
"Do not Whitman"
"Do too Curly." "Do not Dogdeball player."
"Nothing wrong with..." Two thumbs up. "..Dodge Ball."
"Okay fine. Nothing is wrong with Dodgeball" She suddenly eyed him, looking into his brown hues laughing a little.
"Good cause Dodge Ball is awesome ya know." Alex said with a somewhat goofy grin on his face.
"Yeah." She was starting to fall asleep somewhat but knew what would happen if she did so she fought sleepiness.
Alex swallowed slowly as he was about to tell her something that he's only told his parents and Isabel. "Ok you know how I've always told you like everything?"
She nodded. "Yeah you even told me when you accidentally broke Liz's mirror like 5 years ago and we had drove all over to find a replacement."
He laughed a little then got serious again. "Anyway... there's something I haven't told you.."
Maria slowly sat up eyeing him. "What is it?"
He sits up back in the indian style and eyes her. He takes a deep breath as he tells her. "I....I love you. There I said it."
Maria looks at the ring Michael gave her, then takes it off and looks back at him. "I love you too...." She looks down and bites her lower dry lip.
Alex looked at her with a big smile on his face. He put a hand on her chin and slowly lifted it up so he could look into her beautiful chocolate tinted hazel hues.
Maria looked at him. She looked into his brown dark eyes and slowly pushed her dark hair behind her ear. Smiling, she leaning over to kiss him. Alex also leaned over to kiss her.
Just then the door opened and they quickly seperated, the evil agent David Black stepping threw the door. "We ready to begin ?" He asked them and Maria and Alex exchanged worried glances at each other then to agent Black.
