Improv #6: Character must leave town.

To say my life is complicated would be a major understatement. A lot has happened since I last wrote in this journal. First of all, I found out that Michael and Isabel slept together. I was very angry at first and then I remembered that I obviously had not been faithful to him either. I had slept with Kyle, who admitted that he was in love with me. I didn’t really know how I felt about him. Things were just so messed up. I loved Michael, I still love him, but a part of me wanted to also be with Kyle. At least to find out what I feel for him. And of course there was the Isabel issue. Maybe it was just stupid to fight Destiny. So Michael and I broke up. It was probably the most painful thing that I have ever had to do walking out of his door and maybe out of his life for good. At the time I had no idea what my future had in store for me and to be honest it scared the hell out of me. I went home and told Kyle all that happened and that I wanted to find out what was going on with us. We kissed and then all hell broke loose.

Flashback……

“What the hell is going on here?” My mom shouts at us.

Kyle and I jump apart from each other. The look of pure fear is evident on Kyle’s face.

“Now mom don’t freak out.” I try to calm her down.

“Don’t freak out. Are you crazy? What am I supposed to do when I find my daughter making out with her brother?” Amy shouts.

“Mom, Kyle is not my brother. Kyle and I are seeing each other now Mom.” I tell her as I look over at Kyle.

“Amy, what is going on?” Jim comes up behind my mom.

“The world has gone crazy that is what is going on. I caught them kissing... kissing Jim. And now Maria says they are seeing each other. When did this all happen? I thought she was dating Michael.”

“We broke up.” Maria tells them.

“When did that happen?” Mom asks.

“Today.”

“Today and now you are dating Kyle.”

“Yes.” I tell her

“And what do you have say about this son?” Jim asks Kyle

“I love her.” Is the only thing Kyle says.

I look over at him and smile.

“See Jim. Crazy. The world has gone absolutely crazy.” My mom says and storms into her room slamming the door shut.

“I think we are all going to have to talk about this some more. You both realize that this situation is impossible. We all live in the same house, your both still in high school and we are a family. The two of you being involved is just not possible.”

“Impossible or not Dad it is happening. I love her and I plan on being with her no matter what you think about it.” Kyle stands up to his Dad.

“Emotions are running a little high right now so I think we should all calm down and talk about this again.” Jim says as he leaves the room to go and talk to my mom.

I can hear them shouting in the other room. “It will be ok, right?” Kyle asks me.

“I don’t know Kyle but I hope so.” I say leaning my head against his shoulder. He puts his arm around me and kisses my forehead. “I meant what I said to them Maria. I do love you.”

“I know Kyle.”

End of Flashback…

So almost three months ago my mom and Jim found out about Kyle and I and freaked out. There was no way they were going to permit us to date each other while we lived under the same room. At one point I think Jim was ready to suggest that Kyle and he move out but Kyle and I couldn’t let that happen. Our parents were in love and should be together so the decision was made that I would go and live with my grandma until after we graduated and then we would go from there. I talked to him on the phone every day. We talked about everything but wisely avoided all conversation about Michael. Liz told me a couple of weeks after I left that Michael and Isabel had decided to start seeing each other. I can’t say I was surprised and in fact it was what I had wanted. Ok wanted may be too strong of a word but it is something that I think needed to happen. I really believe that they had to try being together. Maybe it wouldn’t work out or maybe they would find out that they really belong together. I guess time will tell. As for Kyle and I, I know now that I am in love him. I have only seen him once since moving to Phoenix but and it was the best time I have had in a very long time. Kyle is carefree and fun and he makes me feel special. And of course it doesn’t hurt that the sex is incredible. Not quite hot alien love but pretty damn close. 

We were about to graduate from High School and everything was perfect. Well as perfect as it could be in an imperfect situation. I should have known it was to good to be true. Things couldn’t just go right, at least not in my life.

I started to feel off about a month and a half ago. I thought I had the flu. I was sick a lot and I had absolutely no energy. I was able to keep it from my grandma because I didn’t want her to worry.  It was only about a week ago that I figured out what was wrong with me. Now that things were finally right in my life something had to throw a big wrench in it. So I took the test to confirm what I already knew, I was pregnant. Of course, the real question was who was the father, Michael or Kyle.

I didn’t know what to do. Here I was three months pregnant with a baby that could possibly be part alien and I was in love with two men. What was I going to do if the baby was Michael’s? What would I do if it is Kyle’s? No matter whose child it is my life was going to be changed forever. My heart was still torn when it came to Michael and Kyle and now a baby would be thrown into the scenario. And if that wasn’t bad enough then there is the whole alien thing to be considered. Everything was just so complicated. I finally made the decision about an hour ago that I needed to find out first who was the father before I did anything else. I couldn’t just go back to Roswell and drop the bombshell on Kyle and Michael without knowing first whose life was being changed with mine. I guess both of their lives would be changed no matter who the father is but only one of them would share the responsibility of raising a child. I am now just getting up the nerve to call Liz. I need her to talk to Max. He is the only one who can help me now. Well I guess it is now or never.

----------

Maria dials Liz’s cell phone and hopes she is alone. “Hey Liz.”

“Hi Maria. What’s up I didn’t think you were calling until Saturday?”

“Are you alone Liz?” Maria asks.

“No. Max is with me. What’s wrong?” Maria can tell that Liz is getting nervous.

“I need for you and Max to come to Phoenix. Can you do that Liz?”

“Why? Maria you are scaring me. What is wrong?” Liz is getting upset. Maria can hear Max in the background asking what is going on.

“I can’t tell you anything over the phone but I need you both to come here. And Liz, I need for you to not to tell anyone especially not Kyle or Michael.”

“Maria”

“Please Liz.” Maria begs her.

“We are leaving now. I will call you when we are getting close.”

“Thank you Liz. Thanks to both of you.”

They say goodbye and Maria goes back to her journal.

Tonight, with Max’ help, I will know who the father of my child is and then I will have to decide what to do next but for now I am praying to God and Buddha and whoever else might out there listening to help us all get through this.

The End… Until next Improv
