Max woke with a start and looked around her, slowly she started to remember what had happened. She tried to lift up her head but it felt unusually heavy. She lay back down and sighed, thinking about the things that had happened recently she went over a reason why she would get this virus and for what reason they would give it to her, they being White and his gooneys.
She was still going over the list of reasons when Alec walked into the room. He was carrying a tray of food which she couldn't make out without lifting her head, a task she was trying to avoid for now.
"Morning Sleepyhead, I was hoping you'd be awake so you could eat something;" he smiled and put the food on the table next to the bed. He then sat on the edge of the bed.
"How long have I been asleep?" Max asked, she was surprised to hear how weak her voice was.
"About 4 days," he said, "you gave us a scare there for a couple hours, but the symptoms have pretty much disappeared so you should be back to your normal self in a couple days."
Max smiled and thought about being able to walk again, "I can't wait, I'm sick of being sick!" she said. Then smelling the food she looked over to the table, Alec who noticed lifted up the tray and helped Max get rearranged so she could eat. Max looked at the food in front of her and her stomach grumbled loud enough so that even Alec heard it. She smiled sheepishly and started eating the tuna sandwich, scarfing it down in no time, then she started on the Chicken Soup. "God, I've missed this," she tried saying in between bites and slurps of her lunch.
When she finished Alec took the tray off the bed and helped her get ready o take a nap. The way Max was feeling, it felt like she had been awake for 48 hours straight. "God, I've never been this tired," she said yawning. In no time at all she was sleeping soundly, Alec looked down at her sleeping figure and sighed. Tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, he got up and took the tray to the kitchen.
He had just finished washing the dishes when his cell phone rang, he dried off his hands and reached for it, taking the time to look at the number on the caller ID. "Great, what does he want?" he muttered seeing it was Logan's number. He flipped open his cell, but before he could say anything Logan was talking, "Alec, you have to get over to my apartment right away, something is seriously wrong, it has to do with Max," before Alec could reply, Logan hung up. "Dammit" Alec swore under his breath, grabbing his coat he found Joshua, explaining to him what was going on then started jogging towards Logan's.
