The roads were quiet, rain fell lightly from the dark clouds in the night sky. In the car was silent not even my breath disturbing the peace, my gaze fell upon my traveling companion's face. She looks sad and thoughtful and I wonder if I should say something.
Where would I start?
By telling her that leaving Seattle was the best decision, that leaving her job, friends, and home behind was a good move? Then there was Logan, I never much cared for the guy but Max did and I wasn't about to let him ruin what I had with her.
What did I have with Max?
She's different than the other X5's, she adjusted to her surroundings confidently and I find myself jealous of that. To feel a sense of belonging that I'll never have because let's face it my life is ruled by the others. They come first, it's a price that I accepted.
They need me.
So maybe feeling needed was close to belonging, I belong to and with the other X5's, and yet we're apart. The world around is crazy. Just maybe we need to be a little crazy now and again to get along. But back to Logan; he cares deeply for Max and she returns that so what do you say to someone that you've made leave everything behind?
The truth?
That I love her?
MAX
I gaze out of the window at the cars passing by, this broken city that I call home now being left behind. I have this knot in my stomach and aching in my heart but I can't tell him, he wouldn't understand.
He doesn't know what its like to need someone, to not be alone in this crazy world. His emotions are simple, no weaknesses allowed and yet when I catch him looking at me...Its strange I wish I knew what he was thinking.
I've left Logan behind; home, a job, and my friends but maybe Zack was right about emotions. If you didn't get close you couldn't get hurt. Right now i'm hurt but I have no regrets apart from maybe one...Leaving.
I wanted Zack to stay in Seattle but he wouldn't. Then Lydecker called 'Martial Law' to make hunting us down easier. So we left, I hope to return but I'm not sure that'll happen.
I look at Zack and our eyes lock for a moment, an understanding smile is exchanged.
Maybe things won't be that bad, Zack is a good man after all. He'll watch over me just like always and I'll return the favour; his life sacrificed to protect me and the others, a selfless act that puts everything about him into context.
So I reach for his hand and squeeze it tightly, I'll protect him and teach how to feel belonged.
After all, even watchers need watching right?
The End
