If you cant love someone you want
Chapter 1

Alec gazed into the night, looking at the stars, his hazel-green eyes searching for any sign of movement. He didn't need night goggles because of his night vision in his cat DNA. But he was all alone. It was a cold, rainy day and he didn't feel like going to crash anymore because he knew he'd see Max there. 'With Logan probably kissing her' he thought bitterly. He was up on the space needle, a place he thought he would never go to. Yet he did, because he needed to be alone for awhile to think about what had happened over the last week. Max had become more miserable because the virus had been growing, even the air she breathed would kill Logan. She couldn't hang out with him or even go out with him anymore. She and Alec had gotten closer and she always came to him for comfort. Alec just wanted to make Max happy so he spent almost all of his money on a doctor who knew a cure to the virus. When the virus was cured and Logan was all right, Max had hugged him and told him that he was the best bud ever. He didn't want to be a friend; he wanted to be something more. He had set his heart on that from the first time he laid his eyes on her. But seeing that she was happy with Logan just made it more painful. Alec had wanted to show Max that he was right for him; he wanted to show her that there was something more than a cocky smile and a sarcastic remark inside him.

Alec decided that he had to talk to her so he climbed down the space needle and hopped on his motorcycle. The wind was whipping on his face as he sped to crash. When he entered, Sketchy was right in front of him smirking. "Hey Alec! I haven't seen you in here for a long time! You wouldn't believe who I have a date with!" said Sketchy obviously drunk because of his hyper ness. "Who?" asked Alec searching around for Max or Logan. "Katy Watson, you know the famous super model? I can't believe I have a date with her tomorrow night! Just don't steal her away from me" said Sketchy. "Don't worry" said Alec still searching. "Hey man what is wrong with you pal? Where's the sarcastic comment?" asked Sketchy confused. Alec just sighed at the question then looked over at the snooker table. There they were (Max and Logan) playing snooker and smiling at each other. "Listen pal I gotta go" said Alec walking towards the snooker table.

Max and Logan were playing snooker that night at crash. They had done a lot of stuff since last week especially pleasing each other. They finally could hold hands, kiss and do other stuff like a normal couple. "Thanks to Alec" thought Max thinking about the handsome X-5. Because of him she could do all this and now she knew that the X-5 wasn't always a stupid smart-ass. She felt that they had become friends now, someone she could talk to. But he was still a little cocky. However, whenever she looked up at him because he was staring at her, he would blush and turn away or smile and make a sarcastic joke. However Max was interrupted in her thoughts when Alec came inside the bar. Sketchy was all hyper around him and was smiling weirdly. He got a drink, his eyes searching everywhere. Then the green-gold eyes rested on her as he came striding confidently towards her. But instead of his usual cocky, happy and fun loving greeting a serious look was plastered on his face. "Max" he breathed.

"Hey Alec" said Max putting down the beer she had just been drinking. "Whatever... Listen can I talk to you alone outside?" said Alec seriously. "Why? What is wrong? Is it Joshua or any other of the transgenics?" she asked sensing that this wasn't going to be good news. They walked outside taking a stroll. "Max, you know how we have gotten close and all? Well why don't we ... you know hang out more often and stuff?" said Alec not knowing how to start. "Huh? But we do hang out all the time?" said Max curiously and impatiently. She wanted to get back to Logan, she already missed him. Seeing that she didn't want to talk to him because she was so attached to Logan, he knew that there would be no chance with her. So he decided to cut straight to the point. "Max I...I love you" he said....
