This is my first attempt at a fan fic, hope you like it!

Maxie and Jesse's apartment…

"Why are you doing this to me?" Maxie questioned as Jesse once again attempted to walk out of

her life.

"Because I care about you too much!" Jesse replied.

Jesse and Maxie had been dating now for about a year and they had had many ups and downs but

had always found their way back to each other. Then Maxie was held hostage by an old enemy of

Jesse's and had almost died. That was when Jesse decided to walk away.

"If you cared about me you would stay with me and not break my heart!" Maxie yelled back.

With that Jesse turned and walked out the door. Maxie threw herself on the bed and let the tears

roll down her face.

As Jesse walked down the stairs of Kelly's diner, he kept telling himself that he was doing the right

thing.

'I have to let her go before I get her killed.' Jesse thought.

Jesse walked out the doors and headed to the docks to clear his head. He really did love Maxie and

he wanted to be with her but he also wanted to protect her. As he was looking down at the water,

he heard a noise behind him. Thinking it was Maxie he turned around ready to argue once again.

When he saw what was in front of him his expression turned serious and all color left his face.

Back at the apartment…..

Maxie decided that if she wanted Jesse she was going to have to put a fight. She decided to call her

sister, Georgie, and ask her if she wanted to go get some ice cream. When she was feeling down,

ice cream always made Maxie feel better.

"Hey Georgie, what are you doing?" Maxie tried to hide the tears in her voice.

"Maxie, what's wrong?" Georgie could tell that something was not right with her sister.

"Nothing. Do you want to go and get some ice cream?" Maxie tried to change the subject.

"Not until you tell me what is wrong." Georgie knew her sister was trying to avoid telling her the

truth.

"I will tell you when we meet up." Maxie really did not want to talk about it.

"O.K. meet me in 20 minutes." Georgie knew her sister was hurting and did not want to push her

any farther.

"O.K., bye." Maxie hung up the phone and went into the bathroom to get ready.

Please let me know what you think! Also let me know if you want me to continue!

Always,
