The show and characters belong to Fox, and Cameron. The story is mine. Hope you like. I was listening to Aaliyah's self titled cd at the time I wrote this. 'I care for you', so it was track 6. Maybe you'll get the feel for this story if you can listen to it. I couldn't have written this story without her songs which belong to her by the way so dont sue. Aaliyah, much love, rest in peace. Hope you enjoy. Oh, and I have to say I hate the whole virus thing, that was stupid. Thank you.


The feelings paralyze me, with every thought, and with those eyes. When she was cured for that one moment in time, that eternity of pain when it was gone. When we again had to be separate. How can someone stand up to such an enemy. Just to touch her soft skin again. To feel her lips upon mine. To hold her. How can I show I care, really care without the electric touch. I'm dying inside. How? How can I go on like this. I try to push her away sometimes. But. I can't play games anymore. No more of this. I've made up my mind. My soul will die eventually. I can't take it anymore.

"Logan, what's up?"
"Hmmm?"
"You weren't paying attention."
"I was thinking."
"About what?"
"Nothing. Sorry Max, what were you saying?"
"I was just saying........" He looked at her eyes, that smile. His heart ached and craved her. He couldn't take it anymore. No more.
"Max." He interrupted her. "Lets go sit down on the couch, ok?" He got up, and Max followed, more than a bit confused.
"What's up?" She smiled at him. Inwardly he sighed deeply. 'God help me' he thought. He put music on. Aaliyah played softly, I care for you.

Max still smiled. Logan needed her badly. He sat close to her. She scooted away. He got closer. She no longer smiled. He wished they could dance right now. But he had other things on his mind.
"I want you to close your eyes." She hesitated a moment. Then slowly closed them. Logan closed his eyes for a second reaffirming his decision. When he opened them he knew what he was going to do. His life was nothing without her touch. Her closeness. He lived up to now, so that he could be with her. That is what he was meant to do. Now he had to do something that will change everything. Slowly he leaned forward. "Max I love you." Then slowly he reached up with both hands, and held them inches away from her face. Finally, he grabbed her face with both hands and kissed her deeply, as if he were going to suck the life out of her. He held on and did not let go when she tried to pull away. But she did get away.
"Logan?" She was breathless, and confused. "Why?" A few tears rolled down her face. He began to convulse, and he couldn't breath. "Logan." She cried. "No. Logan, no."
Max didn't know what to do, so she called his friend that was a Doctor. He wouldn't make it in time. She knew that. Logan had accepted that long ago.
"I love you." He choked out as he lay on the floor. Max sat down and put him across her lap. The tears streamed down her face. She held him, and would not let go.
"I love you too." She tried to stop crying. He reached up and touched her cheek. She grabbed his hand and held it there. Max felt his soul leave. His life end. Her life end. She leaned down and softly kissed his lips. Then laid down next to him, and put her head on his chest, and cried till the Doctor came.
