Max and Liz were sitting on a blanket in the middle of the desert. Neither of them had classes today. The sun was approaching the horizon, lighting the sky and clouds to an awesome shade of pink and purple. Liz sighed, taking in the beauty of the natural world.

"Max, why can't you accept her? After everything we've been through, you won't believe that this girl is the embodiment of our past love for each other. Why? She's real. Believe her for me at least." Liz twisted in Max's embrace to watch his reaction. Max stood up, pulling Liz with him.

Max carefully thought about his words before he spoke. "Liz, she's another person that we have to take care of and watch to make sure nothing bad happens to. I do believe in her, but I'm scared. We've never been faced with the consequences of our past lives, and now I find out I was responsible for your death and the ruination of her life. How should I feel? I am trying, honestly.

Liz nodded, appeased for now. "Okay, let's go back to the apartment now. She should be there soon." Suddenly Liz hunched over in half from a terrible pain.

Max rushed over to her and grabbed her hand. "Lizzey, Lizzey, are you okay?" Liz didn't answer him, her face distorted in pain. "Max, help me," Liz whispered before she passed out. Max picked Liz and carried her to the car, as he was putting her in the back, she disappeared.
