CHAPTER: Under your skin.
Alec stood from the bar in Crash and looked at the scene. Max was talking to Logan and she was smiling. Her hands were circling the rim of her drink as she stared lustfully into his eyes. Alec was once again forgotten. He felt used, she asked for his help and willing gave it. For the past few days they were getting closer. He thought it was the start of something but now she was back with Logan. He remembered when it started.
FLASHBACK.
She came to him in the middle of the night and asked him a favour. He didn't want to do it but she seemed so desperate. " Okay," he said.
" If we're doing this, we have to do the whole thing okay, the holding hands and all the other stuff." She took a deep breath. Her mind played back on the scene that brought her to her desperate state. She didn't even want to picture it anymore. " The whole thing."
He nodded, " Yeah." He sat up and looked at her for a while. She was hurting, he could almost feel it emitting from her body. " Max what happened?"
She turned to him. She saw he had a genuine look of concern in his eyes. " I went to give Logan some of the information I received on the cure. It turns out I was the only one interested in finding it. Alec he was with Asha. I feel like such a fool. I feel so pathetic."
Alec moved closer to her and put his arms around her, he kissed her on her forehead. She eased her body in his arms.
" It's okay Maxie." That was all he could think to say. " You want to stay here tonight? I mean you're really upset you shouldn't be alone right now."
She nodded. He moved over and made room for her on the bed. She took off her jacket and rested on the pillow. " You know love really does suck. I thought there would come a time when it wouldn't but it always does."
He smiled, he thought the same thing but she didn't need to hear that. " You should sleep."
" I don't need sleep."
" I know but sleeping helps to calm the mind."
" Really?"
" I don't know. I just made that up."
She laughed lightly, with a tinge of sadness to her voice. " Alec."
" Max."
" Thanks," she whispered. It was so ironic that she would end up turning to him. Who would have thought that Logan would be the bad guy and Alec would be the one she needed.
" For what?"
" Everything."
" No problem."
END FLASHBACK
He stood there not being able to comprehend why she'd be back with Logan. He knew she had gotten some information on the cure but it didn't matter then. He turned around and finished his drink. He grabbed his jacket and headed for the exit.
Max followed Alec outside and met him unchaining his bike. " Leaving already?"
" Don't really see the point in staying."
She leaned against a lamppost. " I just wanted to say thanks for everything."
He started up the engine. " No problem."
Max stood there and looked at him drive away. She wasn't sure what to say to him. She thought that he'd be happy that he didn't have to pretend anymore, she was obviously wrong. She couldn't help but feel guilty. She should have told him before, he didn't have to come and see it for himself. She sighed and went back inside. She'd try to talk to him in the morning.
*********************
A few minutes later Alec found himself at the top of the needle. The cold night air hit his face as he gazed on at the dark city. Flashes plagued his mind. He remembered and he wanted so badly to forget it as soon as possible.
FLASHBACK
His lips touched hers and felt his entire body shiver. Slowly he explored her lips not wanting a single piece to go untouched. If only she was feeling the same thing he did. They separated only leaving only finger space between them. He looked into her eyes for a respond, for an approval and she looked away.
She took his hand in hers and shot a quick glance over to Logan. It was quite a show they were putting on. Logan looked like someone had just poured a bucket of ice water on his head. Max looked at Alec and smiled. " Sweet revenge," she whispered in way that looked as sexy as possible to the unknowing audience.
He bit his lips in the same manner. He knew she was using him but he still hoped that she felt something for him.
END FLASHBACK.
Now he knew how stupid he had been. As soon as she was given the opportunity she was back in Logan's arms. He was forgotten and once again at Needle trying to figure out where he went wrong. And the question did linger in his mind. He did everything she asked him and still he wasn't enough. She wanted Logan. Why?
The new question ran through his mind. Why Logan? What did Logan have above him? He knew he could make Max a lot happier than Logan ever could. But that wasn't what Max liked about him. She actually liked the stupid super hero mentality Logan possessed. Alec maybe wasn't as passionate about protecting people as Logan was but if Max asked him to be, he would be.
He closed his eyes at the thought. Why did Max have him wrapped around her finger? Why couldn't he just accept that she didn't have feelings for him and move like what anybody else would have done. He had to be thinking and drowning in self-pity. He couldn't continue to do that. He had to stop or else he'd drive himself crazy.
So right then and there he made a private promise to himself. He promised himself that he would never let Max get under his skin again.
