Max glared at Alec. She punched his arm out of frustration! Sometimes she loved him and sometimes she hated him, and today happened one of those hate days. He smiled and pulled her close to him!
"Its easier if you talk about it." He said with a grin. He knew what she was doing! He'd done it a thousand of times. He was the definition.
"I'm fine!" Max hissed back. Alec grined.
"You want to me start? Okay, I could lie and tell you how much I missed Logan... I could tell you good memories about him, Laugh, cry.. But, to be honest, I'm glad Logan's gone..."
Max pulled away and looked at Alec SHOCKED! "You don't miss Logan...?" She asked with a quiver in her voice..
Alec looked at Max completely open... He closed his eye's and forced the words out of himself... "I could also lie and tell you that its good he's gone... That you were stupid for getting so close to him... That now you can leave seattle, now you can protect your freedom..." Alec could feel Max pulling away from him... "... but to be honest... If Logan haden't died... You..." Alec paused for a moment... "You wouldn't have even looked at me the way you do now.. You would still be calling me a loser, a fuck up... And in no way would you be laying in bed with me half naked... Logan's death gave me a chance to show you who I am... This is the first chance I got to be who I was..."
"And what?! Leaving Manticore wasn't a big enough chance for you?!" Max said with anger... With pain. How could Alec not miss Logan.. Does Alec even realize how much Logan helped him.. What Logan meant to her?
Alec opened his eyes... "In Manticore I was 494... The perfect soldjer... And for the last 2 years I've been Alec... The fucked up friend who doens't have a heart... The one who likes to sleep in a different bed night after night... The one you could hit and yell at when life isn't going right enough for you! You pegged me a loser before you got to know me Max! All I did was play along... You've only knowed the real me for a month now... and you must like me to still be near me..."
Max didn't know what to say...
