He could feel the anger fuel within his chest. He wanted to attack; unleash. Wanted to grab her perishes neck and snap it, feel her pulse stop. She acted like she had it so hard, she didn't even know the meaning of hard. Had no clue what he'd been through.

"Alec, just go away! I can't stand to even look at you right now" Max hissed. Alec could feel his blood boil.

He forced a smile. Alec stood and watched Max try to ignore his presence. 'Just look at me!' Alec thought to himself. Why wouldn't she look at him? Why wouldn't she see him? He was trying so hard to get into her good graces. He saw the way she looked at Original Cindy, Sketchy... Logan. But, that must be a look she saved for her beloved friends.

Its not like he stood here for her abuse. He wanted for her to once, just once, look at him like she did her friends. To just see..... him. Not his mistakes, not like he was a Colon, or a trained killer but as Alec, just Alec.

"Well?" Max looked up at him with a cold stair. "What are you waiting for?" Max asked. Alec cringed at the tone of her voice. It reminded him of the way the people spoke to him at Manticore.

Without realizing what he was doing, he found himself walking to her. He grabbed Max and slammed her into the closest wall. It happened all to quick she didn't have time to even brace herself from the attack.

"Look at me Max! Just LOOK AT ME!" Alec growled into her face. Max looked up until their eyes meet into a gaze. "What do you see?" He ordered. "Huh, I can't hear you! What do you see when you look at me? Do you still see Ben? Do I look like a killer to you? Maybe I'm just a fuck up. HUH? What is it I do to make you hate me so much?" Alec watched at Max's eyes fluttered and then she looked down, trying to ignore him.

Max tried to push him away from her, but Alec used all his body weight to keep her pinned. He stared at her waiting for an answer. After what seemed like hours Max finally spoke. "I see you Alec, I do. I don't see a fuck up, I don't see a killer and even when I try my hardest I can't see Ben."

"Then why are you such a bitch to me? Why can you just like me?" Alec asked, anger pouring out of his eyes. He watched Max blush a little then return her gaze at him.

"Because I like you." She answered honestly.
