Chapter Four: Heart to Heart
I guess you can consider me a lazy person… for disclaimer and spoilers, check chapter one!!
Author's Notes: Wow, I'm sorry I made you guys wait more than a month for this!!! To make a long story short, I accidentally deleted this entire frigging chapter. I would've had it up before the fanfiction.net outage, but well, I'm an idiot :-)
As always, thanks a whole lot to my betas lareina_Selena and PreciousJax!
Oh yeah, before I forget: Britney Spears haters rejoice, Britney Spears lovers… well, too bad.

" Logan?" Max asked impatiently, " Is that a woman in *our* apartment?"
" Actually, there is, Val is-"
" Logan? What would you like instead?" Valerie repeated.
Logan covered the mouthpiece with his hand and said, " Whatever's good. Could you shut the door on your way out?"
" Sure," Valerie said as she shut the door.
" Logan, you better start explaining," Max said in a deathly quiet tone that Logan knew meant 'this better be good or I WILL kick your ass'. //I've been out of the house for what, 2 DAYS and he already has a fucking woman there?// 'Relax Max, you know he loves you' her other inner voice reasoned with her. //But he has a fucking woman there!// 'You can trust Logan! You know you can!' Her inner voices continued arguing back and forth.
" Val's here. She needed a place to stay."
Max coughed; she couldn't have heard accurately. " As in your lying, cheating ex-wife Valerie?" Max asked, her voice still a bit too quiet for Logan's liking.
" Yeah…" Logan said slowly, confused as to why Max was angry.
" What the HELL is she doing there?" Max practically yelled.
Logan jumped up a little, startled by Max's sudden increase of volume. " I told you. She needed a place to stay."
" So? Doesn't she have any friends or family members?"
" She ran out of options. What are you so worked up about?"
Max raised an eyebrow. " What I am so worked up about? In what way do you want the reasons? By alphabetical order or level of intensity? Logan, she is your EX-WIFE. A gold-digging bitch. A cheater. A liar. How can you forgive her?"
" What makes you think I've forgiven her? I'm just providing her a place to stay. That's it."
" Besides needing a place to stay, what else did she want?
" I don't know… she said she wanted to become friends again."
" More like wanting to get in your pants," Max snorted, " You can't tell me she hasn't put the moves on you since she arrived."
" Well…" Logan hesitated, " she did say she wanted to 'start things over'. But that was before I told her I was engaged to you."
" Logan, I don't trust her. She's played you so many times," Max said, trying to sound reasonable.
" Don't I know it," Logan scoffed.
" I just don't see how you can even face her after all that."
" Well I fell in love with you didn't I? I'm actually thankful to Val for breaking up our marriage. If she hadn't, I would still be in a superficial relationship instead of this wonderful one I'm in right now."
Max smiled softly, " Really?"
" Really. So is it ok?"
" Of course it's not. But I trust you."
" Thank you Max."
" Yeah, yeah, yeah," Max rolled her eyes. " I don't want to hear about that anymore."
" Done," Logan grinned.
" Alex was wondering if you could get Brandon to a secure line so she could talk to him."
" No problem," Logan answered, " What's a good time for you guys?"
" Um… 3 o'clock Seattle time would be good."
" And I'm guessing you don't have his work number, so I'm going to have to search for it?"
" That's where you're wrong. It's 63894521799864."
" How did you know that?" Logan asked, amazed.
" Alex's phone book. It's right beside me," Max grinned.
* * * *
" Honey, I'm home!" Alex called out sarcastically. She walked into the living room where she found Max curled up hugging her knees to herself.
" Hey Alex," Max said quietly.
" Hey," Alex said, plopping down beside her sister. " You ok?"
Max shook her head, " Not really. Valerie's back and she's staying at Logan's."
" Excuse me?"
Max nodded, " You heard me."
" Is Logan an idiot or just plain ass dense?" Alex exploded, jumping up and started pacing around the room. She faced Max and put her hands on her hips, " What's the matter with him, letting his ex-wife stay with him?"
" He told me that she ran out of options on where to stay. Alex, I don't trust her."
" Neither do I."
" What's your reason?" Max asked curiously
" She's a BITCH! She'd been playing Logan ever since they started going out."
Max's mouth dropped open in surprise, " Ever since they started going out?"
Alex dropped back onto the couch next to Max. " Yeah. I found out one night when I was at a club with my friends. She was there making out with this guy like there was no tomorrow. I didn't think too much about it, I mean, they had only started going out, I didn't think they'd ever get too serious. Well, obviously, I was wrong. After they got married, I realized that Val was still seeing other people behind Logan's back. By then, it was too late to let Logan know, he was head over heels in love with her. So I tried to take matters in my own hands. I told Val to break off all her little affairs or else I'd tell Logan myself. She threatened me and said that if I told Logan, she would personally make sure I would be kicked out of his place and never have contact with him again. I was really close to Logan at that point and came to depend on him a lot, so I kept my mouth shut. When Val went to visit her mom in New York, I finally got the guts to tell Logan everything. We came up with a plan and caught her in the act. That's what broke up their marriage."
" I can't imagine anyone cheating on Logan," Max said quietly, " He's perfect."
" Yeah, well, for a brother he's not that bad," Alex grinned.
" You miss him, don't you?"
Alex nodded, " Yeah. I got my brother back after 2 years and now I've lost him again."
" You haven't lost him," Max protested, " He's still your big brother."
Alex gave a sad smile, " Yeah, he is. But now he's got you Max. He doesn't need me anymore."
Max was startled by Alex's statement. How could she possibly feel this way? Yes, she was Logan's fiancé and his confidante, but Alex is Logan's *sister*. One day, Logan could fall out of love with her, but Alex would forever be his little sister.
" Alex, how can you feel that way?" Max asked, " You're his *sister*. Nothing could ever possibly break the bond between two siblings. You two are family. Logan and I could break up one day and may never speak or hear from each other again, but you two will forever be a part of each other's lives." Max grinned, " Just like how no matter how long we're on the outside, Zach will always be an uptight control freak and a pain in the ass older brother."
Alex laughed lightly at that; " You don't know what it feels like Max," Alex said softly. " Logan and I used to be super close, closer than most siblings are. When I came back from Africa, I was so afraid that our relationship had changed that I couldn't bring myself to go and see him. When I finally saw him again, I was so relieved that almost nothing had changed. And then you two started seeing each other and BAM; we started drifting apart. You became his everything. Sometimes I feel like teaming up with Zach to break the two of you up."
Max's mouth dropped open in shock, " Alex!"
" Well it's true! I'm not blaming you or anything, but I never got to see my brother anymore, you two were always together. I love you and everything, but sometimes I just want to be babied by my big brother."
" I'm sorry Alex," Max said, finally seeing Alex's point of view, " I never meant to steal him away from you."
" I don't look at it as you stealing him away," Alex said, wrapping an arm around her big sister, " it's just that I miss being able to spend time with Logan whenever I wanted to."
" Well I promise you, you'll never lose him. I'll make sure of that. In fact, you'll get so sick of him always being around you that you'd want to throw yourself off of a building. Or him. Whichever one comes first."
Alex laughed, " Thanks Max."
" Anything for my baby sister."
There was a moment of silence as the two sisters wrapped themselves up in their own thoughts. Max broke the quietness and asked, " Does Zach really want to break Logan and I up?"
Alex hesitated before saying, " Yeah. He does. Deep down, he probably does realize how happy Logan makes you. But he chooses not to see the positive aspects; he only focuses on the negative parts."
Max sighed and got up, " I don't want to depress myself by thinking about Zach. I'm going for a walk."
" Oh, by the way Alex," Max said as she was about to walk out the door, " Brandon's phoning at 6."
Alex let out a squeal of delight, " Really?"
Max grinned, " Yup. I'll give you two a little phone privacy," she winked and left.
* * * *
" Ok, Brandon, you ready to phone her?" Logan asked.
Brandon nodded, " Yeah, I'm cool. Thanks for letting me use your line."
" Anything for my little sister," Logan answered, " Give me a shout when you're done," he said, dialing the last number.
* * * *
" Alex?" Brandon asked uncertainly when he heard the phone being picked up.
" Brandon!" Alex cried out with joy, thankful no one was home to hear the delight in her voice. One, it was slightly embarrassing she enjoyed hearing her boyfriend's voice so much. Two, Zach would have called it a moment of weakness.
" Hey baby," Brandon smiled to himself, settling down on a couch.
" How are you? How's work? Did you miss me? Are you at Logan's right now?" Alex bombarded him with a million questions.
Brandon laughed; there was the Alex he knew, always the chatterbox. " I'm fine, work sucks, of course I missed you, yes, I'm at Logan's," Brandon said equally fast.
" How's Danny?" Alex asked, referring to Brandon's best friend.
" He's cool. He got this new girlfriend, Katelyn and they're together practically 24/7, lips basically connected at all times and all mushy and lovey-dovey."
Alex laughed, " Sounds like the beginning of our relationship."
" No way. Then our relationship would have been normal. Our relationship was anything but normal."
" You're right," Alex agreed, " All we did was bicker."
* * FLASHBACK * *
" How can you think that a someone like *Britney Spears* can even COMPARE to a vocalist like Jessica Simpson?" Alex asked Brandon disbelievingly.
Brandon unlocked his front door and ushered Alex in. " Have you SEEN the pictures of Britney Spears when she was our age? Now THAT was hot! Especially that Rolling Stones cover!"
" Jessica was beautiful too! And as I recall, she could actually SING!"
" Believe me, no one comes close to Britney."
" She's close to 40 now!"
" What's your point? She's aged very well."
" Probably all due to plastic surgery," Alex scoffed. " You are such a typical male."
" Am not."
" Are too."
" Am not."
" Are too!" Alex exclaimed, " You're defining a singer's talent by looks and looks alone. Come to think of it, you only tried to go out with me because you thought I was pretty."
" Did not," Brandon objected.
Alex whirled around to face Brandon, " So you don't think I'm pretty?" She raised an eyebrow.
" Of course I do! Sheesh, talking of typical genders, you're a typical female," Brandon rolled his eyes, " Twisting my every word."
Alex turned around and headed to the kitchen, tossing her hair in the process. " I'm making coffee," she announced haughtily.
" What I MEANT was," Brandon said, grabbing Alex's arm before he made her too pissed off. " The reason I was so taken by you was you were a smart-ass. Women I've dated in the past were too meek and quiet. You were strong-minded and I liked that. Your beauty was a bonus, but your mind and smart ass comments were what drew me in."
Alex faced Brandon. " Take back the typical female comment," Alex demanded.
" Take back the typical male comment," Brandon mocked her.
Alex stuck her tongue out at Brandon and turned to walk away.
Brandon laughed and pulled her around. " Ok ok, you win. You're not a typical female."
" That's better," Alex smiled brightly. " But my typical male comment still remains."
Brandon suddenly pulled her into a kiss that left her breathless and longing for more. " Still think I'm a typical male?" He asked in a husky voice.
" Nuh-uh," Alex squeaked out. She pulled him back into a kiss and Brandon muttered in between kisses, " You… still… want… coffee?"
" I'm good," Alex responded, pushing him in the direction of his bedroom.
* * END FLASHBACK * *
" Alex? You still there?"
Alex shook her head to snap herself out of her memories and she said softly, " Yeah. I'm still here. Just thinking."
" Of me, I hope," Brandon joked.
Alex laughed, " Always the attention seeking one. I was just thinking about that whole Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson thing."
Brandon laughed heartily, " Oh, that was a GOOD night."
Alex giggled, " Yeah, it was."
* * * *
Once Alex and Brandon were finished talking, Logan took the phone from Brandon.
" Hey Lexie."
" Hey Logan!" Alex replied, her voice bubbly.
" You sound happy."
" That's because I am. So how does it feel to be officially hated by the 2 most important girls in your life?"
Logan sighed, " Max told you."
" How could you let *Val* of all people to stay at your place?? Don't you remember what she did to you?"
" Of course I remember. I remember better than anyone else," Logan snapped.
" Then why are you letting her stay there?"
" Well- beca-" after a few more broken replies, Logan sighed, " I don't know. I have no idea why. Maybe because Val and I have a history and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I turned her down in her time of need."
" You were always too caring for your own good."
Logan laughed, " Yeah, maybe I am."
" I should probably go now. Talk to you later?"
" Of course. Tell Max I miss her."
" Oh, don't tell your SISTER that you miss her then," Alex said sarcastically.
" I miss you Lexie and I wish you'd come home soon," Logan automatically said.
" That's better," Alex smiled, " Bye."
" Bye."
