A/N: This is another version of something cool that could have happened in HG.

******************************************************************************************

It had been two hours since Max had left Logan standing in his computer room baffled, betrayed and alone. He wasn't sure
how or when everything had gotten so screwed up, how it all unraveled. Max had came so close to telling him that she loved him before
and he believed that she truly did. He had told her that e loved her and he truly meant it, like he had never meant anything
in his entire life. God, was he stupid or what?

He sighed and looked down at the half empty glass of whiskey in his hand, his only true friend at the moment. This was the only thing that wouldn't break
his heart, at least not until he had a hangover.

His telephone rang, at least he thought it did, it barley registered in his mind. He decided to let the machine get it, after all, it was probably Max bragging about her
new love life with Alec.

"You've reached the number you dialed, leave a message."
"Mr. Cale, it's Dr. Shankar, I have some rather interesting news about your medical tests, I tho......"
"Hello, It's Logan Cale. What kind of news do you have?"
"Logan, the antibodies in Max's friend's blood have transferred to your bloodstream. You're immune to the virus now."
"Thank you, Dr. Shankar."
"You're welcome."

Logan just shook his head in disbelief. Three hours ago this would have been the best news on the planet.
But now, Max has her boy Alec. Still, she deserved to know. He picked up the phone and dialed her pager
number. "Now I just have to sit here and wait." Logan said to no one in particular.
*******************************************************************
Across town, at the space needle Max sat on her favorite thinking perch. She just looked out over the town watching
all the people, thinking about how unfair life was. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she didn't
hear Alec walk up behind her. "Hi Max, I thought I'd find you here."
"I come here to be alone."
"I know, but I figured that with everything that went down today we could both use a friend."
"Sit down"
"So, you got any deep thoughts you wanna share? Any profound realizations about life?"
"Yeah, Love sucks."

They both sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes. Then Max's pager went off. She looked down and recognized the familiar number the display showed. "It's Logan."
Alec looked at her, "Shouldn't you call him back?"
"No, he hates me now, and he's not too thrilled with you at the moment either."
Alec furrowed his brow in confusion and looked over at Max. "What is he so upset with both of us for?"
"Well, when I left Joshua's house I took a necklace over to Logan's that has the symbol of the breeding cult on it. Anyway, all the lights were out so I figured he wasn't home. But, he was their getting drunk waiting for me to show up. Turns out he saw us outside my apartment this morning and..."
"He thinks there's something going on between us." Alec finished the phrase for her.
"Yeah, that's it. And now he hates me."
"Well, if he's calling you, there must be a reason. Find out what it is."
"I don't think so Alec."

************************************************************************

Logan looked at the clock for what must have been the hundredth time in an hour. She still hadn't called. "Well, I guess she's busy doing other things."sarcasm hard on his lips. He picked up his glass and poured another round of the hard liquor. He walked over to the living room and turned on the radio. There was a song on that matched his thoughts perfectly:

If I had one single wish
I'd go back to the moment I kissed
You goodbye
No matter how I try
I can't live
Without you in my life

God he missed her so much.

Maybe you'll say you still want me
Maybe you'll say that you don't
Maybe we said it was over
But baby I can't let you go

Phone rings, Logan answers, "Hello?"
'You paged?'
"Yeah, I have some information for you, can you come over here, now?"
'Yeah, I need to talk to you too.'
"OK, Bye"
'Yeah Bye.'
Logan took a deep breath and looked around, the place looked like a tornado hit it. He decided to pick up a little before she got there. He put on a pot of coffee and got to work, pickinng up broken glass and wiping up the spilled liquor.
All the while it felt like the song was coming from him.

I walk around trying to understand
Where we went wrong
And I can't pretend
It wasn't me
And it wasn't you
But I'm convinced
We gave up too soon
----no, he corrected the singer, she gave up-----
Maybe you'll say you still want me
Maybe you'll say that you don't
Maybe we said it was over
But baby I can't let you go
Nothing left to lose
After losing you
There's nothing I can't take
When I run to you
When I come for you
Don't tell me I'm too late
--------please Max, don't tell me I'm too late.

Logan was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he didn't even hear Max come in. "Hi." she sounded a little guarded, worried even.
Logan turned around and what he saw broke his heart. Max stood there, eyes blood shot from crying, looking like she lost her best friend.

"Thanks for coming Max. I need to tell you about some news I got from Dr. Shankar. She called and told me that Joshua's immunities have transferred to me, I'm immune to the virus now, I know you're with Alec now but....."
Logan didn't get a chance to finish, Max just burst into tears "Logan, I'm sorry, I lied to you about me and Alec, I could never do that to you. I thought if you bieleved we were together you would be safe from the virus. I didn't want you to get hurt. I'm so sorry."

Logan's jaw just dropped, "So you aren't together?" she just shook her head. "Logan, I love you, I could never be with anyone else."

Logan walked over to Max and wiped the tears off her face. He leaned in and kissed her with every ounce of energy he had. "Max, I love you too."
The dissolved into a long heartfelt embrace. "Say it again Max."
"I love you Logan."
"I love you too Max."

The End
