Anything can happen

Two days. For two days he had been sitting in the forest. He couldn't move and he couldn't speak. He was trapped in his own body and was not able to do anything. He was going to die there. He knew it. This was not how he had wanted to die. This wasn't how he had ever imagined he would die. He had always thought that he would die in the arms of the girl he loved. Actually he had planned on living forever. But then again; nothing is forever.

God. I'm going to die.

I wish I could see Max one last time.

He let the last thought go. He knew that he would never see her again.

Where the hell was he? He hadn't showed up at work for two days. He hadn't answered all her calls and he hadn't opened the door when she had knocked. Probably he was just ignoring her after what had happened that night.

I miss him.

Quickly she let that thought go. She couldn't miss him. She hated him. She had never liked him.

Alec felt the cold snow that came down on him and he got a flashback.

Flashback:

Alec was walking alone in the forest not really knowing where he was going. He had been free for so many years, but he had never once just taken a walk. He had never wanted to, but this day there just was something. He had just taken a walk to get some time to think. He had to think of the dream he had dreamt. He had dreamt he had been together with Max. Did he really like her or was it just a dream? God he hoped it was nothing more than just a dream. He couldn't be in lobe with Max. Could he? Suddenly it started to snow and he realized he had come to an opened field where a girl stood all alone in the middle. At first he hadn't recognized her, but when he came closer he saw that it was Max. He walked up to her and said smiling: "Hi Max. What are you doing here?" She smiled back at him and said: "I usually come here when I have to think. What about you? Why are you here?"

"I had some things to think about too." He looked her in the eyes and saw something he had never seen before. He couldn't explain what it was, but it made him sure. It was what made him realize that he was in love with her. He said: "I got to go." Then he turned around and went where he came from.

End of flashback.

Alec tried to smile at the memory, but couldn't. What was wrong with him?

*******************************Anything Can Happen**************************

Max knocked on the door to Logan's apartment and waited for him to open. When no one opened she knocked again. Still no one opening.

After a few minutes she gave up and walked back to her motorcycle and went back to her place.

She woke up all sweaty and breathing hard. She had dreamt that Alec was in danger. Well, he had just been lying on the ground, but somehow she had just known he was in danger. But it was just a dream. Right? She got up from bed and went to the bathroom and took a shower. She had a feeling that today was going to be a long day.

He was tired. God he wanted to sleep, but he wasn't going to. He was afraid that if he fell asleep he would never wake up again. Even though two days ago had been the worst night in his life he didn't want to die. Even though it was that night two days ago that was the reason why he was lying there he didn't want to die. He just wanted to get away from everything and forget. To get over her.

Flashback:

He had finally made up his mind. Tonight was the night he was going to tell her how he felt. He was going to tell the girl of his dreams that he loved her. Last time she had done something like that was with Rachel Berrisford and that was at least 6 years ago. He had been in love with Max for two years and now he was finally gonna tell her. She had always tried to get him to open up and tonight was the night he would do that. He knew exactly what she was going to say. She was going to say she didn't have the same feelings for him, but she liked him as a friend. That was what he thought she was going to say.

The walk from his place to her did only take 15 minutes. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. He heard someone move inside and then someone opened. He looked smiling at Max and said: "Hi." Max looked annoyed at him and said: "What do you want?" She sounded angry. Alec's smile faded a little and he said: "There is something I have to tell you."

"Go away Alec. I'm sure it can wait until tomorrow."

"No, it can't. I have to tell you right now."

"What?"

"I… I know that you probably won't care and that you only want me as your friend, but there is something I have realized."

"What?"

"I love you, Max." Max laughed a little and said. "Yeah right. Funny Alec. Let's just continue hate each other. She stopped smile and said. "Don't ever come here again if there isn't an emergency. Did you think that a joke like that would make me stop hate you? Guess what; I still hate you." And with those words she closed the door. Alec turned around with tears in his eyes and started to walk away. After a couple of minutes he started to run. He ran in to the forest where he had been that day when he realized he loved her and it started raining.

End of flashback.

She walked in to Jam Pony and up to Normal and said: "Where is Alec?" Normal looked at her and said: "I don't know. He's not here. If you see him tell him he's fired."

"Okay. If you see him tell him I'm gonna kick his ass for not doing his work. I have more important things to do than deliver letters all day long."

"Don't you think I have better things to do too than make sure everybody shows up at work and search for someone that I can hire instead of Alec?"

"Well, No. Yes. Maybe." Then she walked to her locker.

Max was all he could think of. Max was the one that could make it alright again. If she just knew where he was she could find a way to save him. Max. Pictures of her flashed before his eyes as he thought about all the things they had done together. Like the time they sat in a closet for over one hour together. Or the time when they had gone to that club to help a mermaid. Or when the big fight between humans and transgenic's was. After that everything had been different. The transgenic's could be with people now. Even they who looked like Joshua. Max had acted like a friend to him until he came to her that night. He never should have told her. He should have stayed quiet.

Max kissed Logan and said: "I love you." He looked her in the eyes and said: "I love you too." Max sat down on a chair and sighed. Logan sat opposite to her and said: "What is it?" Max looked at him and said: "Nothing."

"I know you Max and I know that it's something. Please tell me what's on your mind." Max sighed again and said: "I don't know. I just can't help it."

"Help what?"

"I don't know. Alec is gone and I can't get rid of the feeling that something is wrong."

"I'm sure he's fine."

"Yeah, probably, but…"

"We can search for him if you want to."

"Nah. He will probably show up again in a few days. He always does." She kissed Logan and stood up and said: "I have to go." And without saying goodbye she left.

God it was so cold. Couldn't it just end? Couldn't he just die? Almost three days had went since he came there. He would do anything for food, for being able to move, for seeing her again. He just wanted to get away from there. He was shivering. He would do anything to turn back the time. He just wanted to go back three days. Or maybe 6 years. That way he could stay at Manticore or at least go to some other city. He wished he never would have fallen in love with her.

"That's it. I'm going:" She stood up and everyone in the room looked at her. Sketchy Said: "Where are you going?"

"I'm gonna find Alec."

"I'm coming with you." He stood up and took his jacket. Max looked at everyone and said: "Anyone else that wants to follow?" Normal and Logan stood up and walked over to her. "Anyone else?" Now Joshua and Original Cindy walked over to her. She looked at Asha?" Asha shook ¨her head and said: "No. Never. Never ever. Not in a million years am I gonna help you find some idiot." She stood up and walked out to another room. Max turned to everyone and said: "Okay. Josh you go with Sketchy to every bar in the city, OC you go with Normal and Logan to every place you think he would go to and I take the forest." Before anyone got the chance to say anything she was out the door and on her motorcycle.

"ALEC! ALEC!" In the distance he heard someone call his name. He recognised the voice, but couldn't really remember who it was. It was a girl. That much he knew. "ALEC!" It was louder this time. "ALEC!" Now he realized who it was. It was Max. Max was looking for him. "ALEC!" She kept on getting closer all the time. "ALEC!" No, no, no. She was getting longer from him again. "ALEC!" Her voice started to fade. By some miracle Alec was able to scream: "MAX!" before everything went black.

"ALEC!" She screamed. "ALEC!" She had to find him. "ALEC!" Who was she kidding? IT was dark outside and she was in the forest. Did she really expect to find him here? "ALEC!" Maybe she should go back home and continue tomorrow. "ALEC!" Maybe he didn't want to be found. "ALEC!" Maybe he wasn't even in the country anymore. "ALEC!" Okay. That was it. She had to go home again. She turned around to go back where she came from when she suddenly heard someone scream: "MAX!" It was Alec. "ALEC!" She screamed again and started to run to where she had heard him scream: "ALEC!" She didn't get anymore answers. Had she heard what she wanted to hear?" Suddenly she tripped on something and fell to the hard ground. She sat up and turned around and got a little shock when she saw Alec lying on the ground and shaking violently.

Logan looked at the other two and said: "I don't think we ever gonna find him." OC said: "I don't understand why she wants to find him. I mean; all he has ever done is cause problems."

"That's not true. He have saved my and Max life a couple of times."

"When and what did he do?"

"Um. Do you think we should get back home?"

"Logan. What happened?" his phone rang and he looked at the caller id and said: "It's Max. I have to answer." He answered the phone: "Hi Max." Max said: "Ihavefoundhimand…" Logan interrupted him and said: "Hey. Slow down. I can't understand what you are trying to say." Max took a deep breath and said: "I have found him. I found Alec. He… I… I can't get him to wake up. I don't know what to do." "Just tell me where you are and I will come as fast as I can." "I'm in the forest."

"He's not waking up. Why isn't he waking up? You told me he was going to wake up." Max said to Logan not letting him answer because she was talking so fast. Logan took her hand and made her look him in the eyes and said: "I never said that he was going to wake up. I said that there is a little chance that he is going to wake up."

"What's the different?"

"A little chance doesn't necessarily mean that he is going to wake up. Ever." Max got tears in her eyes and Logan said. "Why do you care so much about him?"

"Because he's mine friend."

"Oh really? 'Cause I remember it like the last time you saw him you told him you hated him." Max tried to get away from his grip, but Logan held her to hard. "Let me go." She said struggling to get away. He let her go and said. "Do you love him?" She looked surprised at him and said: "What? No. Of course not. I don't love him. I love you. I thought you knew that."

"I do, but…"

"What, Logan?"

"It's just. The last couple of weeks you have been so different."

"And why do you think that?"

"Because you are different. You have changed."

"Well, Asha won't talk to me, Josh has left, Normal has fired me, Sketchy is who knows where, Alec is slowly fading away and you think I'm in love with him. Is it so strange to change then? Besides it's not like you have stayed the same either."

"I know."

"I guess everyone has changed."

"Yeah." They smiled and looked each other in the eyes and kissed. When they stopped the kiss Max said: "But one thing that hasn't changed is my feelings for you. I love you." Logan smiled and said: "I love you too."

"How could you think I was in love with Alec? All he ever does is cause problems."

Alec was standing by the door watching Max and Logan and he made sure that they couldn't see him. He heard Max say: "He's not waking up. Why isn't he waking up? You told me he was going to wake up." She was talking so fast that Logan couldn't answer. Logan took her hand and made her look him in the eyes and said: "I never said that he was going to wake up. I said that there is a little chance that he is going to wake up."

"What's the different?"

"A little chance doesn't necessarily mean that he is going to wake up. Ever." Alec didn't like the tone Logan was using, but Max didn't seem to notice. He saw that Max got tears in her eyes and he just wanted to run up to her and hug her. Logan said. "Why do you care so much about him?"

"Because he's mine friend." This made him smile. But why had she said what she said that night?

"Oh really? 'Cause I remember it like the last time you saw him you told him you hated him." Memories of that night flashed through his eyes. Max tried to get away from Logan's grip, but Logan held her to hard. "Let me go." She said struggling to get away. Alec wanted to run up to her and kick Logan's ass, but Logan let her go and said. "Do you love him?" She looked surprised at him and said: "What? No. Of course not. I don't love him. I love you. I thought you knew that."

"I do, but…"

"What, Logan?"

"It's just. The last couple of weeks you have been so different."

"And why do you think that?"

"Because you are different. You have changed." It was true. She had changed.

"Well, Asha won't talk to me, Josh has left, Normal has fired me, Sketchy is who knows where, Alec is slowly fading away" If she just knew. "And you think I'm in love with him. I hate him. Is it so strange to change then? Besides it's not like you have stayed the same either."

"I know."

"I guess everyone has changed."

"Yeah." They smiled and looked each other in the eyes and kissed. When they stopped the kiss Max said: "But one thing that hasn't changed is my feelings for you. I love you." Hearing this broke Alec's heart and he walked back in to his room, but he could still hear Logan say: "I love you too."

Then Max said: "How could you think I was in love with Alec? All he ever does is cause problems."

20 minutes earlier.

Max sat on a chair in Alec's room. It had been two weeks and he still hadn't woken up yet. She took his hand and kissed it as she let out a few tears and said: "Is it my fault that you're dying? Was it because of what I said? I didn't mean it. I was just… I can't believe this. I should never have said what I said to you. Truth is that…God I'm so stupid. I should have told you. It's too late now, but I… I love you Alec." She kissed his hand again before she stood up and left the room. Alec slowly opened his eyes and whispered: "It's never too late."

Finally they would let him out from the hospital. Finally he could go home and pack his bag and leave the town and never come back again. He never wanted to see her again. He never wanted to see the town again. No he never wanted to see the country again. Maybe he could move to Bahamas or Hawaii. Anywhere but here.

Max walked in to Alec's hospital room and saw that the bed was empty. At first she got scared that he had died or something like that, but then she saw the letter with her name on it. She walked up to the bed and took the letter. Afraid of what he would have written she put it in a pocket and left the hospital.

He was standing outside the airport. He had made his mind. He didn't really want to leave America, but yet he was going to Spain. It was one hour before his flight would go, but he knew it would take time to check in.

Max sat down on her bed and took out the letter from her pocket. She sat there for a few minutes and just looked at it before she finally decided to open it. She took out a paper and she read quietly to herself: Dear Max. I'm sorry for everything. I should never have left Manticore. I never realized that I only caused problems. For a couple of days ago right before I woke up you told me you loved me. Was that the truth or did you just say that? You know, it doesn't matter. I want you to go on with your life and forget you ever met me. I'm really sorry for everything. Normally I would stay to say goodbye, but I just had to get away from everything and move on. That's why I'm leaving for Spain tonight. You have two choices. Either you come too the airport and stop me from going or you can stay home with Logan and just forget that you ever knew me. If you chose to stop me I suggest that you hurry up. My flight goes at 10 tonight. If you chose to stay home I want you to know that I loved you with my whole heart. Love Alec.

He sat on the plane looking out the window. It was 5 minutes before the flight would start. She had a little time left to make it, but since she wasn't here already she would probably not come or she hadn't even opened the letter yet. Whichever he didn't care. Soon he would be in Spain and he could move on. Soon he could just forget. But would he really be able to just forget her? Would he be able to move on? Did he do the right to leave? Should he get off the plane while he still has the chance? No. This was something he had to do. This was what he needed to do.

Almost there. She was almost there. Gate 3. The only plane to Spain was going from gate 3. 3 minutes left. She had to make it. Fast she ran outside to the planes and saw the one to Spain. She saw Alec through one of the windows and got tears in her eyes when she saw that he looked at her, but didn't get up to go out to her. She was on her way to run to the flight when the engine on it started and began to leave. She had been too late. She was too late. She didn't care who saw her she just broke down on the ground and started to cry.

2 minutes. Now he was sure he never would see her again. She wasn't coming. He knew that now. He got tears in his eyes and suddenly he saw her. Max had come. She had come, but to late. He didn't stand up to go out to her. He just sat there as the engine started and began to leave. Then when he knew she couldn't see her anymore he let out a few tears and whispered: "I love you Max. I hope you will be happy with him and I hope I will see you again."
